THE PRESIDENT UTTERS
 WARNING TO CONGRESS

 NJ SPEECH.
His Remarks Were Construed to Be of
 Great Significance.

New Haven, June 30. - President Taft paused in the course of his after dinner speech to Lse0 graduates of Yale gathered at the annual alumni dinner today to issue serious note of warning to congress and the leaders of the republican party. The president declared that if the party failed to live up to its promises and the expec- tations of the people it would be rele- gated 10 a position of minority soon.
 The president spoke extemporaneous- ly. and his utterances as to republican duty seemed the result of a sudden impulse rather than of studied prep aration.
 Mir Taft made no effort to explain the wording. The Yale men caught his meaning and the significance of his re- marks while the tariff debate is in progress. and they stood and cheered several minutes.
 The president attended the meeting of the Yale corporation. spoke at the midday dinner of the alumni. presided at the meeting held for the arranging of the memorial to Yale men who died on both sides in the civil war, stood nearly two hours with President Had ley at the commencement reception. and rushed tonight from the meeting of the Skull and Bones to his private car for Washington.
 The commencement was notable. President Hadley announced the re- ceipt during the year of gifts amount ing to s1.O0O,OOO.

CUMM|NS ON
 INCOME TAX Iowa Senator M0nOpOfzes the Time MOST JUST OF ALL TAXES
The Speaker Alludes to the Declaration of Chairman Aldrich of the Day Before That the Corporation Tax Was Only a Club.

Washington. June 30.-The income tax was practically the only subject, and Mr Cummins, of Iowa, and MT. Borah. of Idaho, the only speakers be- fore the senate today. Mir Borah was heard toward the close of the session. when the Iowa senator yielded the floor which he had held since yester- day. He took for his text the declara- ton made yesterday by Senator Ald- rich that he would vote for the cor poration tax amendment only as a means of defeating the income tax, and without resorting to personalities he criticized the position of the chair man of the finance committee.
 Much of the time today was devoted to the consideration of the nations finances, but considerable attention was also given to the general merits of a tax on incomes which NIT. Cummins defended as the most rational because it was the most just of all taxes.

New York, June S0.-The compla- cency of Chung Sin, one of the room mates of Leon Ling. who is wanted for the murder of Elsie Sigel, went all to pieces this afternoon, when Arthur Lo- gan, the expressman. walked into the cell where Chung Sin is held and shouted: "Hello!" Logan is the man who carried the trunk containing the girls body down stairs from Leon Ling's room on the day of the mur- der.
 E He has told the police that Chung Sin is one of the four men he saw on the top floor of the house. Chung. on the contrary. had sworn by all his an cestors that he never saw the trunk packed or moved
 You are the man." Logan said to Chung Sin today. "who told me to take the trunk down stairs carefully. There was another slim fellow with you in the room, the same fellow that came over to the office half an hour before to give me an order to call for the trunk"
 "All mistake" protested Chung, meyer saw you before"
 The Chinaman's voice broke and he shook in fear as Logan was jed out, stiIl positive in his identification.

 PlOYE.

San Francisco, June 30.-Miss Caro- line Brash. cashier for Gray Bros. Construction company. was shot and instantly killed in the cOmpany's office this afternoon by an unknown man who effected his escape. A dispute over a time check is believed to have caused the tragedy.
 The murder was committed by an employe of the company from the quarry at Point Pedro. According to the statement of Miss Guste and Miss Turnblatt, two young women who worked in an adjoining room, a man who made several references to his employment at this quarry entered the office and presented a time check. Miss Brash informed him that he owed the company S5.75 for board and he took exception to the charge An alterca- tiOn followed, then silence and finally the sound of the shot.
 The manner of the mans escape from the populous office building with it's well filled corridors and elevators, is a mystery He was not seen to enter or leave the building. and the police immediately scattered throughout the neigh0orhood in the hope of finding a clue to his identity.
 Immediately after the shooting of Miss Brash a man coolly walked into the office of the Knox Collection com pany which has been in the habit of cashing Gray Bros time checks and presented a check bearing the name of J Novak. He cashed the check. se- cured $S and left in an unconcerned manner.

SOMETHING ELSE WRONG
 WITH NEW AEROPlANE
THIS TIME IT WAS INSUFFICIENT
 POWER.
The Wright Brothers Will Make An
 other Trial Today.

Washington, June 30.-Insufficient power was responsible for the misbe- havior of the Wright aeroplane today at Fort Myer.
 The first flight attempted by Orville Wright resulted in slight damage to the machine and ended the experi- ments for the day. The flight lasted about 30 seconds Wright said the aeroplane would be ready for another trial tomorrow, and that more power will be used
 The aeroplane glided down the start ing rail and flew to a height of about 15 feet for the length of the drill grounds. Evidently it was working much better than yesterday. As he neared the southern end of the field. Orville lowered the left wing and raised the right one. The machine began to make the turn gracefully, but it had gone around only a few feet when 1t seemed to loose it's equilibrium, the left wing struck the earth and brought the machine to the ground with con siderable force. On examination, 1t was found that the right skid was broken near the forward end and that a few wires had been jerkcd loose.
 The machine was returned to the aeroplane shed. Orville explained that the motor did not seem to be gener- ating enough power to take the ma chine around the turn. He thought the damage could be repaired easily.
 Among the spectators were num- ber of senators, who neglected the tar if deliberations to be present.

 The audience shouted wildly when ever Ross landed a telling blow. but hooted Johnson for his rough work in the clinches. Johnson refused to make any statement after the fight. but Ross pleaded for another chance at the champion. Round 1-Johnson hooked a left to the stomach and repeated it with telling effect Ross landed a light right to jaw, but met a hard left on the jaw in return. Johnson followed up with a right swing to the nose, drawing blood and dropped Ross to his knees for a count of nine with a right and left to face, the bell saving Ross.
 Round 2.-The men rushed to the center of the ring and Ross landed a light left to face. Johnson smiled and jabbed a wicked left to Ross face. fol- lowing with right hook to the stom- ach. Johnson repeatedly swung his left to the jaw. rocking the New Castle mans head. Ross holding on desperate ly when the gong rang.
 Round 3-Ross made a desperate ef- fort to cut down his opponents lead and landed a hard right to the wind and left to jaw. removing the smile from JohnsOn's face. Johnson contin- ued to land left swings to the face all most at will. In an effort to avoid one of Johnson's rushes, Ross slipped to the floor and stayed down for count of eight. Johnson hooked a right to the wind
 Round 4-Ross was ia evident dis tress. bleeding freely at the mouth and nose Johnson chopped a left to the jaw and they cIinched. As the men broke, Ross swung a hard right to the champions jaw. the first effective blow he landed.

Seattle, June 3O.-The state conven- ton of the Washington Woman's Suf- frage association today was marked by scenes of the utmost confusion and almost violence.

 The report of the committee on ere dentials declared the Spokane dele gates not entitled to seats. In the debate on the report, some of the delegates called others thieves liars and "scoundrels" and there was hysterical weeping and scream ing.
 Speakers on both sides were hissed down. Both sides agreed upon Oust- ing the newspaper reporters. one of whom, after his exclusion, telephoned to police headquarters that a riot was in progress in Plymouth church. A squad of blue coats soon entered the hall and found the convention in tears.
 The report of the eredential com mittee was adopted. Mrs. Hutton, on walking out of the hall, was followed by all of her adherents. Then the regulars reelected President DevOe and chose other officers endorsed by her.
 A reception in honor of the officers of the American Woman Suffrage given by the Washington state association, was held tonight.
