ON ALL IMMIGRANTS

WASHINGTON, April 26.-When the
tariff bill was taken up by the Senate
today Mr.. Overman IN. CO offered an
amendment by which he proposes to
place a head tax of $12 on each immi-
grant coming into the United States.
Mr.. Overman said that the amend
ment was in the interest of revenue
and protection to American labor. The
tax. he declared, has been held consti-
tutional by the United States Supreme
Court.
1T means not only revenue for the
treasury" he said, but also a select
class of immigrants, and therefore 1t
protects labor"
Mr.. Overman estimated that the tax
would bring to the government six to
ten million. dollars Of revenue.

Philadelphia, Pa. Especially. =
Without any untoward incident the
battleship Utah, the largest in the

gracefully slid from the ways at the
New York Shipbuilding plant in
Camden, dipping her stern in the ice

in the air, as though in acknowledge

Mary Alice Spry, of Salt Lake City,

had done her part. II am so happy,
and 1t was so successful. AK
Long before the time set for the
launching hundreds of the employees
and their families had gathered be-
meath the great covered ways, while
scores of officials and other digni-
taries took up vantage points at the
PROV of the giant craft. 4
Many braved fate by climbing up
into the topmost portions of the
great structure, hanging by Orders
and iron beams, but all forgetful
Of their peril in the excitement Of
the event. It is estimated that at
least 10000 persons gave vent to
their enthusiasm when the Utah's
hull slid into the murky waters of
the Delaware.
With a strong swing of her right
hand, Miss Spry sent the bottle of
wine against the prov, bursting the
glass into fine particles and bathing
the red-painted steel in a foam that
likewise sprinkled gayly-dressed
women and their escorts who were
standing below, and in a right firm
voice, in which there was no trace of
nervousness. Miss Spry said: 81

and shot. him while the latter was on
his way to Sunday School Christ

children and a friend, Wyatt Mead

en-, Pennington started to run away.
Mrs. Baker called after Pennington
and implored him to help her take
the body home.
The ruse worked and Pennington
went back to the spot where his vic
tim lay dead. Bent upon avenging
the deed, Mrs. Baker grabbed Penn
ington's pistol from his pocket and
fired twice at him. Her aim was
bad, but she succeeded in wounding
him in the hand and thigh. Penn
ington recovered possession of the
pistol and then shot the woman and
attempted to kill Meadows, who was
running away, and the two children.
Pennington then fed, but was sur
rounded by posse on the outskirts
of the town later in the night. He
was captured after an exchange of
shots with the officers, who badly
wounded him. Being too weak to

lynching were heard during. the day.

CLOSING WEEK OF YEAR.
Forecast OF Events To Occur In All
Parts or The World.

Washington, D. G. Especially The
last week of the year finds many OF
the sources that furnish regular

spell of holiday peace and inactivity.
Congress and many of the important
courts are in recess and business
operations are partially suspended.
Even Nicaragua is quieter than for
weeks past, following an overwhelm-
ing revolutionists victory and the
fight of Zelaya.
Interest in the Nicaraguan situa-
ton is now divided between Zelaya's
movements and the efforts of Madriz
to unite the waring factions of the
republic. It is not likely that the
revolutionists will lay aside their
arms without great concession, which
may include the deposition of the en-
tire present administration The
next few days probably will show,
also, whether Zelaya will join other
