TAFT STANDS SQUARE
AGAINST INCOME TAX

Denver, Col, Sept. 22.-President
Taft arrived yesterday afternoon and
last night in the auditorium where w.
j. Bryan was nominated his opponent,
he faced an audience of thousands of
noisy enthusiasts.
Switching from the purpose to dis
cuss conservation uf natural resour-
ces, the president last night defended
the corporation tax feature of the
tariff act as against the income tax
proposition, which he acknowledged
seemed likely to pass the senate until
the corporation tax was devised as a
compromise. The president strongly
urged, however, that all the states
adopt the proposed amendment to>the
constitution so as TO make the iu-
come tax possible in time Of need.
Mr.. Taft was joined yesterday by
Secretary Ballinger, who will accom-
pany him through the northwest. 1t
is likely that the presiden. desired a
further conference with Mr. Ballinger
before stating the adm. nistration 5
aims regarding conservation resour-
ces,
The president last night declared
that tho corporation tax was in itself
the best form OF income tax that could
be levied. IN urging that the states
should vote for an amendment to the
cons -itution permitting the levy of a
direct income tax, without apporuon-
ing the proceeds among the states ac-
cord .ng 10 their population, the pres
ident declared i would be possible TO
so amend the corporation tax as to in
feature of the income tax excep. the

New York, Sept 22.-Apparently
fearing to face a charge of passing
worthless checks, a man believed to
have been J. Elmer White, whose bag
gage contained many checks ON South
Dakota banks, blew out his brains at
Jersey City last night, five minutes
after an officer, acting on request oil
Richmond, Va, authorities. arrested
him. Although woman who stepped
from the train with him, said she
knew but little about his history, she
showed intense grief and threw her
self across the body The deceased
had club foot. Among the checks
found in his trunk was one for $3.50
on the Oldham S. d., bank, another
for 1928 on the Minnehaha bank, Val
ley Spring, and one for $1,000 on the
First National bank OF Solomon. A
bank book showed a deposit of $4,000
in another South Dakota institution in
favor OF James Elmer.

Elizabeth OF Austria has been pub
Iished in Leipzig by Countess Sztaray,
q lady of thecourt who was alone with
the empress when she was assassinat-
ed by Luccheni at Geneva, Switzer-

The countess describes the empress
as inordinateIy Iond Of travel and as
enjoying the sea even in the stormiest
weather She had a habit OF wander
ing incognitO, making the acquaint-
ance Of the most casual strangers ana
entering the numblest inns and res
taurants. On her first visit to AchtI-
IeiOn castle in Corfu she exclaimed:
This is my asyIum!" Here she was
wont to stand for hours before the
statue Of tIeine, the German poet.
At Munich the empress was a visit

STORM DEVASTHTES
SOUTHERN COAST
BELIEVED MANY LIVES ARE LOST
AND MUCH PROPERTY
DAMAGED.

New Orleans, La, Sept. 22.-Sweep-
ing north at the rate of 200 miles a
day, the hurricane which devastated
the gulf coast left a trail of wreck
through four states and continues
with undated fury. The damage
wrought cannot yet be estimated. In
New Orleans five are dead and a mil
lion dollars will not repair the dam
age.
From the summer colonies of the
Louisiana and Mississippi gulf coast
come vague tales Of frightful devas-
tat.on and fears that many lives are
lost. Biloxi is still isolated. The
dome Of the capitol at Jackson is
wrecked and the old capitol unroofed.
Streets are a tangIe Of wires and
fallen trees and debris has made the
highways impossible.
At VicksbUrg two vessels sunk ana
third was driven ashore.
Details of the inundatiOn of sections
Of PIacquenine and st. Bernard par
ishes are still lacking. Fifteen young
men who were among the passengers
of the Louisville and Nashville train
stalled at Chef Menteur, La, since
yesterday morning, reached New Or
leans by wading and swimming across
he Washouts. They report 400 pas
sengers at Chef Menteur without food.
A relief train and small steamboat
have been sent to the scene.
