FIRES AROUSE SUSPICION.
State Fire Marshal to Investigate Mani
towoc Blazes.


MANITOWOC, Wis, April 2O.-[Spe-
cial. obstruction by fire early this
morning of two more barns on the farm
property on the town line road just out
side the city under mysterious circum-
stances, has created much excitement
and the renewal of the demand to the
state fire marshal for a rigid investiga-
ton.
Both fires were discovered at the same
time and owing to the limited facilities
for fighting the flames, several dwellings
in the immediate vicinity were in great
danger for several hours.
One barn was owned by William Coop
er, rural mail carrier, and one horse
was the property of W. J. Ahrens, who
lost fifteen tons of hay and a consider
able quantity of farm machinery. The
total loss will not exceed $1,000, how
ever.

Democrats Are Unanimous.

In view OIL the TACT Jldl TIE DculOCl dlS
ar aid to be unanimous for an income
tax measure the leaders of the 'insur-
gent" Republican faction appear to be
confident of victory. On the other hand
opponents of the income tax idea say the
Democrats are not united and declare
that some of the insurgent strength for
additional internal taxes will be lost the
moment senator's are convinced that the
pending bill will produce sufficient rev
enues for the needs of the government.
Among the Republicans declared to
be in favor of an income tax are Sena-
tors Borah, Brown, Burkett, Clapp,
Cummins, Dixon, Gamble, Guggenheim,
La Toilette and Nelson. In addition to
these. some of the insurgents re claim
ing Senators Jones, Bourne, Hepburn,
Johnson of North Dakota and Dolliver.
If the votes Of all these senators should
be cast for an income tax provision they
would be more than sufficient to pass 1t
in the Senate unless a break should oc-
cur in the Democratic ranks.
Aldrich Springs Surprise.
The burden of Senator Aldrich' s
speech in the Senate yesterday was an
effort to show that additional internal
taxes are not needed to provide for the
operating expenses of the government.
His argument came as a surprise to
many senators, for it had been accepted
as true that more revenues than the
pending bill would raise are to be re-
