BIG COPPER Merger
IS now UNDER WAY
William Rockefeller Said to Be
Guiding Spirit in Deal
of Magnitude.
Special To The Tribune

Special To The Tribune
NEW YORK. July THAT a gigan-
tic copper merger, by which William
Rockefeller, guiding the policies of the
Amalgamated. will soon absorb the Cole
Ryan interests, has been planned is
the announcement made here tonight on
authority that does not lend itself to
doubt. Also, that the United Metals
Selling agency is marked for inclusion
in the consolidation comes as a supple.
mentary announcement.
Now that William Rockefeller is in
the Amalgamated saddle, it is reported
that plans are being matured for throw
ing all of the Rockefeller copper inter
ests into Amalgamated, the capital of
which will possibly be doubled. in or,
der to accomplish the consolidation.
This situation, framed lust at the time
that all events are pointing 20 hard and
fast alliance between j. z. Morgan Il
company and the Guggcnheims, leads
Inevitably to the conclusion that be
fore long the control of the American
copper industry will be divided between
the Rockefellers on the one hand and
the Morgan .Guggcnheim interests on
the other.

One Lone Voice Raised Against
Vote on Income and COrpOr-

MUCH TALK HEARD OF

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The sen
ate .|came within one today of agree
ing 10 vote next Tuesday on the entire
income tax amendment to the tariff bill,
including the corporation tax subst'-
tute. The compact was prevented by
the objection of Senator Bulkley. HIS
opposition aroused no little feeling.
The proposition took the form of a
request from Senator Flint, in charge
of the tariff bill in the absence of Sen
ator Aidrich, for unanimous consent TO
vote on the BaileyCummins income tax

Tuesday, with the understanding that
the senate should remain in session un-
til all these questions should be DIS
posed Of. The suggestion created a
general furry in the senate.
The proceedings for brief time took
on the appearance of general convcr-
sation at n sewing bee. One senator
after another expressed his consent to
the proposition until for Il few mo

Reason for Action.
1t turned out that while he was op-
posed to the corporation tax amendment.
his real reason was that he expected 10
be absent from the city next Tuesday
and did not want the vote recorded
while he was away. He expects 20 be
in Connecticut with the president next
Tuesday.
He did not change his mipd, but when
the senate adjourned many of the Con
necticut senator S colleagues were hope
full that he might be inclined TO do so
tomorrow.
II was evident when Senator Flint
made his proposition that the discussion
Of the income tax question had been
almost. it not quite, exhausted. There
were today several speeches for and
against the measure, Mr.. Borah leading
OFF IN favor of the income tax, but op-

Root following on the other side and
advocating the corporation tax. but op-
posing the income tax. Other speakers

incidental remarks by Senator Flint and
others.

STRANGE STORY OF
life AFTER DEATH
Told by Prof. James Hyslop,
President American Society
for PSychicaI Research.
DEAD ARTISTS SPIRIT
0BSESSED AN ACQUAINTANCE
Man Who Never Before Showed
Ability to Draw Suddenly
Develops Genius.

NEW YORK, July 1.-The strange
story of the spirit of a dead artist
taking possession of the mind of liv-
ing man and impelling him to carry on
the artist s unfinished work is related
by Prof. James Hyslop, president of
the American Society for Psyehical Re
search, who, with Prof. Isaac X. Funk,
recently came TO the conclusion that the
spirit Of man lives after his body is
dead.
Robert Swain Clifford, the artist in
question, died in 1905 at his summer
home near New Bedford, Mass. Fred
erick j.. Thompson. goldsmith, had
met Mr. Clifford only twice and knew
him but slightly, Thompson had never
indicated any ability as an artist until
six months after the death Of Clifford,
when he did not even know that Gif
ford had died. He was suddenly seized
with an impulse TO paint 4 picture, and
going to work on it, he was surprised
Mt his ability. While he was painting
the voice of Clifford seemed to tell him
to continue the work he had started.
No Training Required
Thompson continued painting pic
lures. always obsessed by the spirit Of
Clifford. and found ready market for
them Many purchasers commented on
their similarity to Clifford S paintings.
Fearing that his mind was giving
way, in 1907 Thompson called on Pro
fessor Hyslop. He made several
sketches of pictures at the instance of
what he considered to be Clifford s
spirit, Professor Hyslop locked these
up in safe and then Thompson went
to New Bedford and called on Gift
ford S widow, whom he had never met.
One of the first things Mrs. Clifford
showed him was sketch which Mr.,
Clifford had made short time before
his death and which had been locked
mp and seen by no one until few daw
before Mr.. Thompson s call This
sketch was exactly similar in every de.
tail 10 one of the sketches Thompson
had left with Professor Hyslop.
This fact and other equally surpris
ing features in the case prompted Pro
fessor Hyslop to even n stronger be-
lief that the spirit lives after death and
that the artist Clifford 5 spirit finds

the medium of the goldsmith Thomp

these diaphanous costumes, for June is
considered to be quite late in the sum-

sunshine is made the most of to make
up for the gloom and wet of the win
ter season. The Partisan lingerie frocks

as much, with their infinitely fine stitch

formal toilets displayed in the big houses

Most of these French frocks of mid
summer character are short enough to
show the ankles-or at least the instep;
and the instep is really far too attrac-
tive to be hidden, for the new silk stock
ings with lace insteps are enchanting.
In some of these open-patterned stock

like bare flesh; and it seems impossible
that hosiery so fairy fine and fragile can
ever come from the washtub in anything
