sage of an amendment TO the tariff bill
imposing a tax of per cent on the
undistributed net earnings of corpora
tions and the adoption of 4 resolution

Bonita, leading lady of the Wine,

ton for several hours as result
of a fracas at the Sinton, the lead
ing hostelry of the city, where the
actress inflicted hatpin wounds or
several attaches of the hotel.
The actress, 1t is declared, had
been drinking during the evening
and when the bar closed at mid
night she called a messenger boy
and endeavored to have some
whiskey struggled into her room.
Night Clerk William Hittlich and
Waterman Adam Matz protested
when the actress, it is said, seized
Hittlich and tried to force him
down the elevator shaft. A des-
perate encounter followed, in which
the Bonita woman, armed with a
hatpin, made repeated thrusts into
the flesh of both men. Hittlich's
shirt was torn from his back.
