wore in the sixties, and carrying the
ancient rifles with which they defend

weather Memphis has had in years.
At the suggestion of the parade COM
mittee the line of march was cut down
to about one mile and the counter
march eliminated. Commanders of
the division and brigades, directed
that the older and feebler members of
their commands should drop out, but
officers were compelled to report that
they could find no men old enough to
take advantage of the intelligence.
At the head of each division rode
the sponsors and maids of honor,
southern girls, wearing the huge GRIM
son shoulder knots. that told of their
position.
In the reviewing stand in the place
of honor surrounded by the COVER
nors of three states stood General
Frederick d. Grant, U. S. A., son of
the federal commander, who received
the surrender of the southern army
at AppomattoX.

PLAN
REPUD|ATED
CONFERENCE AT WHITE HOUSE
FAILS OF RESULTS.
HE PROPOSED TAX ON INCOMES
The Suggestion of President Taft That
Two Per Cent Tax be Levied Upon
Net Earnings Of Corporations Does
Not Meet With Favor.

Washington, June 10-After a con-
ference with the white house between
President Taft and Senator Aldrich it
was stated that the finance committee
would consent to placing a two-cent
tax upon the net earnings of corpora
lions If the supporters of the income
tax amendment would accept it and
withdraw their proposition. This sug-
gestion it is declared came from Presi-
dent Taft and was designed to prevent
a split in the republican party over
the income tax feature. Mr.. Aldrich
communicated the plan to Senators
Cummins and Borah who are the lead
ers of the progressive republicans who
have favored the Cummins income tax
These senators consulted
with their colleagues and as a result
the plan was repudiated by them. Mr..
Aldrich consulted also with republi-
can leaders who are opposed to the
income tax idea and he had no better
success with that faction than with the
progressives.
BY an order of the senate the in
come tax proposition will come up to-
morrow for a vote but in view of the
unsettled condition motion will be
made to postpone action and indica-
lions are that practically all of the
will support the postpone
ment.
