INCOME TAX AMENDMENT.
Another Move to Form Coalition With
 Progressive Repubs and Democrats.

Another Move to Form Coalition With
 Progressive Repubs and Democrnts.
 Washington, June 10.-Encouraged by what they interpret to be Q weak enins of. the opposition to an income tax anne efldment, another move to form e coalition with the progressive Repub- licans and Democrats, was begun in the Senate tonight.
 The program outlined Is that Senator Bailey shall present his income tax amendment and a motion to amend Is to be made by Mir. Cummins to reduce the proposed tax from to per cent. and to include e provision for a tax upon the income of corporations. 1t is said that MT. Bailey will accept both of these changes and that all of those who. favor an income tax will unite on the amended measure. Mem bers of the Finance Committee deny that the tacit endorsemnt by certain Republican leaders of the proposed tax on dividends of corporations is intend- ed as a compromise with the income tax advocates. but say that 1t is offered merely to satisfy those who believe that the import duties to be provided by the pending bill will be insufficient for the Government needs.
 The outcome is uncertain, but the indications point. it is said. to the ref erence of the whole subject to the Judiciary Committee with instructions to report at the next session.

TAFT TO CATHOLICS
THE PRESIDENT ADDRESSES CON-
 GREss OF MISSIONARIES.
Ghe President said There 0ught to Be
 10 Invsdious Dfstinetion In EIecffOns Because of Re-
 ligf0us Relief.

Washington, June 1o.--The "complete church emulation" is a good thing and fhat there should be in this country Q sinvidious distinctions in elections be- cause of religious belief" were the keynotes of the address made tonight by Prssident Taft before the Congress of Roman Catholic Missionaries, now in session in this city.
 After being introduced by Father Doyle. who referred to the President, quoting another. as the "great harmon fzer," Mir. Taft. who had been ap- piauded loudly as he entered the hall: was greeted by another outburst or applause.
 He spoke principally of the work of settling in the Philippines and the dif- Hculties caused by the co-reiationships there of church and government. He expressed the opinion that in the end the church would be strehgthened by the change there, "as freedom and tol- eration and the complete separation of church and state have strengthened the church in this country"
 Referring to lhis visrt to Pope Leo XII. and the subsequent settlement of the church problems in the Philippines he declared that few extremists in this country had found any exception there- to.
 "But venture to say" added the President, "that If this visit to Rome had occurred forty years ago. 1t would have sunk any administration respon- sible for 1t. which only goes to show that this country Is broad enough for all denominations to work together for the Fatherfrood of God and the broth- srhod of man and for all of us to live here as American citizens and that we should make no invidious distinctions in elections because of religious be- lief"
 He said that there is now no ques- ftfon to be settled in the Philippines concerning the relation of church and government. He said that it is q good thing for the Roman Catholic Church that there are other denominations in the Philippines, that complete church emulation. competition, if I may use that term, is a good thing in religion as we'll as in other things in life."
 Previous to the arrival of the Pres- 9dent. there were brief speeches on the missionary work being done by Ahe various orders of the church throughout the South.

DROPPED FROM FUND.
George Washington University Not En- titled to Carnegie Foundation
 Benefits.


 Washington, June 10--George Wash ington University of this city has been dropped from the Carnegie foundation for the advancement of teaching, by the action of the executive commit tee of the foundation.
 This action is due, in part at least, 1t Is said, to the fact that the univer- sity recently retired two of its profess sors without giving them any warning that such purpose was contemplated, depriving one of them thereby of the benefits which would have come to him later of being placed op~the Car negie teachera pension fund.
 In spite of the fact that he had not fulfilled the requirements which would have entitled him regularly to a teachers. pension. Dr. J. MacBryde Sterrett. one of the retired professors who had been a teacher in philosophy in the university for the past seven. teen years, was made an exception by the executive committee and granted q y2ASfRfo{fsw oEw .naslfnM
 The other. Dr. J. IT. Gore, professor of mathematics. had taught long enough to be entitled regularly to a pension.

Army Enxfneers' vieys.,

Washington, June 10.--Army en- gineers here state that such an acci- dent as occurred yesterday in the Soc locks will never happen in the Isth- milan Canal. A careful study has been made of the locks with a view of pre- venting all accidents that might put the canal out of commission for any period.
 It Is pointed out by Lieutenant-Colo mel H. F. Hodges. assistant chief en- gineer of the canal that instead of one gate at each end of the locks. there will be two on the locks of the Pan anna Canal. Should one of the gates be broken, the other would perform service.
 Another precaution against such an accident is the protection of the gates by chains, manipulated in such way that big ship coming at a fair rate of speed can be stopped within a few feet, and in any event the impact against the gates would be materially reduced.
 Instead of vessels being allowed to pass in and out of the locks, under their own steam. they will be con- troiIed by the lock masters. In thia manner, 1t Is believed that the great est danger from accidents will be avoided.

SHUT OFF TORRENT
EMPLOYEES OF CANADIAN SHIP CA
 NAL KEPT BUSY.
The Roaring Water Has Only Been Partially Checked, However-An Engfneering Problem of
 Magnitude.

Sault Ste Marie, Mich., June 10.-- After a night of hard work. the em- ployes of the Canadian ship canal here have succeeded in partially shutting on the torrent of water which las been roaring through the canal since the lock gates were torn out yester- day by the steamer Perry c. Walker.
 All but four of the ten foot steel pickets which made the movable dam provided for emergencies. have heep employed. But the pressure against the dam is now so great that the forcing of these four remaining wick cts down against the tremendous head of water Is an engineering problem of magnitude.
 Following it's wild passage through the canal yesterday afternoon after the accident, the Canadian Pacific Railway passenger steamer Assinaboia last eve- ming began taking water in the river below here and was forced to put Into Detour and spend the night Part of the cargo was lightered and the As- sinaboia proceeded today for Owen
 The Perry G. walker, which caused the accident, is not badly injured and may proceed on her way up today.
 In addition to the dificulty of plac- ing the remaining wtckets in the dam which are expected to completely shut off the water, 1t is questioned whether the dam will be able to stand the force of the full twenty foot head of water that will throw itself against the structure when the gap is finally closed. Superintendent Ross, of the canal, is optimistic, however. and be- lieves that the dam will hold. As soon as the water is shut off the extra gates at the upper end of the lock which were not damaged yesterday will be swung into place.
 Estimates of the probably length of time the canal will be closed to navi- gation were reduced today, when 1t became known that there Is an extra set of gates on hand ready for installa- ton.
 The Canadian Government will make an investigation into the accident at once to determine the responsibility for 1t. Captain Mosher of the steamer Perry c. Walker, has dened all requests for an interview with the engineer of his boat. whose<failure to obey signals from the bridge is said by the captain to have caused the accident. The en- gineer has remained in his quarters since the Walker tied up at the dock here.
