Vote on Final Passage Of the
Amendment Is Sixty
to Eleven.
DEBATE QUITE ANIMATED
Steady Fire OF Oratory From Early
Forenoon Until Vote Is Taken at
4:30 in Aiternoon-Party
Lines Broken.

Washington, July 3.--The corpor
alton tax amendment which was sug-
gested by President Taft was drawn
by Attorney General Wickersham
and presented to the senate by Mr..
Aldrich, chairman of the committee
on finance, is an integral part Of the
tariff bill as that bill stands today.
After much tribulation the senate
reached a vote on the proposition
shortly before adjourning at
o clock yesterday evening and it was
agreed to by the large vote of 90 to
II. With all modifying amendments
disposed of, many democrats voted
with most of the republicans for the
amendment. Only three democrats
voted against the proposal of the fl
nal vote but some refrained from
voting at all The test vote was on
the substitution of the corporation
tax amendment for the income tax
proposition and on that vote forty
affirmative and thirty-one in the
negative. In this ballot all the demo-
cratic votes were east in favor of the
income tax amendment which also
received the support of a number Of
iusurgent republicans
The debate was somewhat more
animated than yesterday and there
was a steady fire OF oratory from the
beginning OF the session at 10 o clock
until 4:30 p m. During that time
Senators Hepburn, Hughes Cum
Minis, Newlands, Rayner, Brandagee.
Root aud Aldrich discussed phases of
the income tax question. Mr.. Hey
burns objection was that the amend
ment was too indefinite TO make it
operative The first provision of the
bill fixes tax of per cent on the
net income of corporations with re-
spect to the carrying on of ordinary
business by such corporations.

POSTAL POLICE
RAID CHINESE

System Is Struck in
Washington.
IN SHADOW Of CAPITOL
Stacks Of Tickets and Great QUAINT

Seized by Inspectors-Raid
Planned Secretly.

Washington. July S.-Charged
With using the United States mails
for lottery purposes, proprietors Of
three Chinese shops were arrested
last night In each of the places a
large amount of gambling parapher-
MALTA was found.
What ordinarily would have been
local episode gains Importance from
the fact that the raid represents an
effort of the postOtfice department
to reach the center of a wide lottery
system and gains interest from the
recent murder Of Elsie Sigel in New
York. which, has drawn the eyes Of
the world to the usually abstruse
dealings OF 'hinamen.
1t was expected that the raid
would be simultaneous with similar
activities in 5uher cities 1t was plan
ned with the utmost secrecy aud fol-
loved many days of careful detective
work on the part of the postoftice
inspectors,
Almost in the shadow of the dome
of the national capitol with hawk
like swiftness the inspectors swooped
down upon the places and threw the
group of Mons ngolians for the moment
into consternation though the
Cinnamon seon lapsed into silence
and proceeded to forget that they
knew the English tongue.
Great stacks of supposed lottery
tickets. printed in green, were seiz-
ed in each place. On some of them
large splotches of red ink covered
the winning numbers.
The inspectors think that one OF
the places raided was the headQuart-
ers of the alleged lottery system, Be-
cause they were being mailed to par
Ties outside of Washington, princi-
paIly the territory between Balh-
more and North Carolina, the postal

WEDDING RING
 ATTACHED IN ,,
 ISLANDER SUIT

A civil suit was heard today in the city court before Judge Wilder, in which s10o damages are claimed by Mrs. Cora Mulloy. She alleges that certain vile epithets were addressed to her by Mrs. Isaac Burnstein, wife of the bicycle dealer of 1856 State street. Judge Wilder reserved decision.
 This case is an aftermath of a ccivil suit heard last January by Judge Scott in the Common Pleas court, when Mrs. Dcssler, mother of Mrs. Burnstein, sued Mrs. Mulloy for $500 damages for assault. Judgment was given Mrs. Des- sier to the extent of $15 and costs. The quarrel, which was a battle of nurses, for both Mrs. Dessier and Mrs. Mulloy are engaged in that work, was caused by Mrs. Mulloy applying titles to Mrs. Brunstein's mother not usually wordy argument with the cooling ef- fleets of a bucket of water directed at Mrs. Dessier's head.
 Mrs. Mulloy was somewhat peeved when Judge Scott directed her to pay S15 and costs to Mrs. Dessier, and so when the chance offered she asked Mrs. Burnstein just what were the names that Mrs. Dessier objected to. Mrs. Burnstein repeated the sad words and now Mrs. Mulloy says that Mrs. Burn stein applied them to her. and asks s100 damages. Mrs. Burnstein's engage meirt ling and wedding ring were at tached
 Attorney Hull appeared for Mrs. Mulloy, and Attorney Charles Shapiro for the defendants, Mrs. Burnstein and her mother. Mrs. Dessier. Attorney Shapiro made the court room resound with eloquence when making his ex- cellent summary of the case

 It was through the detective work of Mrs. Block, the abandoned wife, that Block was apprehended. Five weeks ago she had him arrested for non support. He put up a. bond of $25 but since that time he has not, she al- leges, supported her.
 He came before the court a week later and recovered the bond at the same time promising to look out for his better half. This she alleges he never did.
 Kumors came to her that her hus. band, whose residence is Fairfield, was earning good pay at the shop of A. s. Ferris on Strateord avenue, where he worked as a mechanic. There was at home a wife and four children, and Mrs. Block wrote to him repeatedly for ply and that now and then word would come indirectly from him that he was without work and funds

LEADER BURNES
 GIVEN LESSON
House Turns Him. Down Hard on Motion of Rep.
 Johnson of Newtown.
MONEY FOR CONSERVATIVES
Special from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.)
 Hartford, July 27.-The House took occasion to show a proposition to House Leader Burnes today when MT. Johnson of Newtown moved the ap- pointment of a. committee to recall from the office of the Secretary of State the telephone night rate bill. Burnes moved indefinite postponement of Johnson's bill and there was some debate but the Johnson resolution for recall was passed by a vote of 115 to 37 and Johnson, himself and Forster of Rockville, were appointed on the committee.
 A surprise was sprung in the House just before adjournment by MT. Knight of Salisbury, who asked to have the automobile bill recalled from the office of the Secretary of State so that he might offer an amendment pro- vicdng that all autos must come to a full stop When about to pass a street car discharging passengers.
 The House voted to do this and now everybody is wondering if the move means a reopening of the entire subject of the automobile question.
