ST. LOUIS. July 1i.-Wlth TWO men

shot, Mrs. Marie Mohrie, widow %
the first victim, kissed her. 5-year-old
son as he slept and sent revolver
bullet into her breast.
Now, as she lies between life and
death In a hospital. this city is be-
ginning to take account OF one OF the
most remarkable clashes in the history
OF ward politics.
During The lat campaign Constable
Sam Young was the Democratic lead
or In the fifteenth ward, and Fred
Mohrle was his neighbor and his po-
itical foe.
The Sunday before election Young
and Mohrle met by chance. Both drew
revolvers. A dozen snots rang out,
and Young fell dead.
Mohrle and VIM. Wright, a friend,
were arrested for the killing.
When they were arraigned the next
cay police had TO force way for the
prisoners through a crowd
AS Mohrle stood covering at the
dock a small, dark-haired man pushed
his way beside him.
Never Gear the law" he whispered.
and Mohrle smiled. At last he had
found friend
"Why?" he whispered back
Because. the stranger Missed,
well get you before the law has a
chance at you" This was on April 5.
June Z he trial came The same
crowds that had watched The two me1
arraigned month before were there.
The election had been decided and
the gangs fiat OF revenge was seald.
Hard Crowd Murmur.
Mehrle and Wright could hear the
crowd murmur above the clang of
their prison doors as they were led
out Mohrle came first AS the turn
key turned to lock the ioor Michae.
Kane, Young's friend. faced Mohrle.
Without word, Kane raised revoi-
yer and shot Mohrle dead. The re-
port echoed through the dingy old
Four Courts building where Folk hal
sent boodlers to the peaitentiary.
Mohrle fell into the arms of a POI
liceman who was there to protect him
Wright, trembling and pale, was rush
ed back to his cell.
When the shot echoed on the
judges ears upstairs he knew what II
meant. Before the crowds wonder
had been satisfied the ba.liff raped
loudly.
Court is adjourned" the judge
cried.
Then Mrs Mohrle went out with her
son and saw an ambulance taking her
husbands body away. Well might
Wright, the only one alive who was
involved in the original feud, tremble.
Only a few days before the death of
Mohrle. Wright out on bonds, heard
someone call him. Thinking the
gang had got" him, he opened fire
on two men and shot Alfred Nelson,
a bystander.
Last week, when he finally was ac-
quilted Wright accidentally shot Chas.

HOPE TO RETAIN
TARIFF ON HIDES
Western and Southern Rep
resentatives Working Hard
TO Kill Payne ProviSo.

The possibility that the Senate will
take hides from the free list in the
Payne bill and make them duttable at
about the same rate that exists In the
DingIey bill has given considerable
hope to the Western and Southern mem
bers OF the House who were defeated
in their efforts to amend the bill before
1t went to the Senate.
These members have already begun
a campaign for this purpose. They are
more energetic now than they were a
week ago, and they are not only doing
some soliciting in their own behalf,
but the Western Republicans have
informed the organization leaders that
they must have the party support on
this schedule If they, in turn, are ex-
pected 70 help out on other schedules
in the bill.
With three or four exceptions the
New England Senators are TIE only
ones who are at all active I'm their
efforts TO keep hides where they were
placed by Mr.. Payne.
Senators Crane and Lodge were i'm
menseiy pleased with the bill as It left
the House. Now, however. they have
come TO a realization of the fact that
some Of the heavy protection given TO
New England industries is in imminent
danger of extensive alterations at the
hands Of the Senate.

TOO MUCH PUBLICITY
SPOILS CONFERENCE
Recent Meeting of Administration Legal Lights to Con
slider Changes of the Scope of Interstate Commerce
Commission Turns Out to Be Fiasco.

The recent conference at the Depart
ment OF Justice, for the consideration
Of ways and means TO reorganize the
Governments instrumentalitles for the
regulation Of corporations, was some
thing Of a fiasco, according to highly
circumstantial report which has been
leaking out; and the reason, it is said.
Is that too much became public In ad-
vance. concerning the purposes Of the
gathering.
Opposition to the program has been
voiced In 50 many directions that the
conferees didn't enter upon the serious
business which lad been outlined for
the occasion.
The conference. in short, developed
nothing even suggestive of a purpose OF
hostility to the commission It appears
that two general plans for increasing
the effectiveness of the regulatiye work
Of the Government have been under con-
sideratiOn. One is to continue the pres
ent system and perfect II; that is, to
leave transportation under the Inter
state Commission, and allow that body
10 remain independent as now, an0
ansWerable only to Congress instead OF
to any executive department. The other
plan is TO transfer the commission to
the Department of Commerce and la
Dor. strip It of its administrative func-
tons, and give them to a bureau Of
the department. while leaving the com
mission only its quasi-judicial functions,
Of hearing and determining cases
brought to IL.
Under the first of these plans, 1t is
proposed that the commission be allow
ed TO work out its own scheme Of sep
arating judicial from administrative
functions. 1t Is now In process OF doing
this. and the Commissioners believe
very effectively. This is by process or
placing specially-equipped meTi at the
heads OF various departments G. their
work, to attend to the general admins
Supery isiOn Of the commission In this
way there would shortly grow up a
series Of bureaus or divisions with gen
eral authority over their various de-
partments of the work. and competent
to administer it under general direc-
tions of the commission, without seri-
ously interfering with the semi-Judicial
work of that body.
The other plan would make the
commission give up all administrative

MAJORITY FORCED
TO AN INCOME TAX
Acceptance of Amendment
BY Republicans Now
Seems Certain.

That the Republican leaders in the
Senate and House will ultimately ac-
oept an income tax amendment TO the
tariff bill is the impression that is
gaining ground about the Capitol.
Following on the introductiop by
Senator Bailey of Texas OF an income
tax amendment TO the bill and the
decision Of the Democrats generally to
support such an amendment, there Is
much gossip afoat about the corridors
today that the Republicans will wind
up by appropriating the Democratic
thunder and making use Of the idea
themselves. OF course, II the Republi-
can leaders take this course they will
adopt an amendment that is mOdifCa-
ton of the one offered by Bailey and
thus take credit TO themselves.
Various reasons exist for the belief
that the Republicans may be forced 10
take I'D with the income tax One is
that a powerful sentiment for one exists
among western Republicans. Senators
Cummins and Borah and others from
that section have been working for
weeks on the subject. On Monday
Cummins will introduce into the Senate
an income tax measure which will rep
resent ideas on which the Western
men can unite
1t is probable that the Cummins bill
will r,ot seek to tax the incomes Of cor
poret sons It will proceed on the theory
that. in view Of the grave legal diff
culti,.s. II is better TO tax the incomes
of individuals alone, particularly since
the earujngs of corporations largely
find their way into the pockets Of in
dividuals- and cannot well escape ulti-
mate taxation.
