ARGUMENTS begun
IN CAlH0UN'S TRIAL
Prosecution Completes First
Half of Its Case; Defense
Will Open Today.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 14.-John
0 Cara. assistant prosecutor in the trial
of Patrick Calhoun, had submitted one.
half of the argumentative case against
the president OF the United Railroads
today when his address before the Jury
and a crowded court room was con.
cluded at the end of an entire court
session.
An increased police detail regulated
the attendance. Women were given the
preference over scores of men who
vainly sought admission and one third
of the seating capacity was given over
to their use.
Until late in the day there was no
dramatic incident or interruption to re-
ward the close attention spectators
gave TO Mr.. o Cara g dispassionate re-
view Of testimony Offered during the
last two months by scores of witnesses.
Mr.. Calhoun sat at the edge of the ia
bic reserved by the defense, and at his
side were TREY l.. Ford, William M.
Abbott and Thornwell Mutually. three
officials jointly indicated with the de-
fendant and all sitting in full view of
the jury.
This was the situation when Mr.
O'Gara, reviewing Mr.. Ford s alleged
connection with Abraham Ruef and the
bribery of the supervisors in 1906,
said;
"Why did not TREY J.. Ford como
here and hold up his right hand and
swear that he was not guilty of paying
this fund of 100000 to Ruef7'
''This is assigned as misconduct on
the part Of the prosecution said
Stanley Moore, Of the defense. "He
knows that Mr.. Ford has been here and
could have been called by his side
as a witness.'
A spirited argument involving the
legal rights of the prosecution TO make
such a reference ensued, and Judge
Lawlor, disregarding repeated protests,
directed O'Gara to proceed with his
argument.
Alexander King of Atlanta, Ga,
will open argument for the defense to-
morrow morning,

declared in favor of promise of indie
pendencc to the Philippines al definite
time. He said that the Philippines
never will be a source of great wealth
and that the Filipinos never will de
vclop the high standard of self gov.
ernment.
Mr.. Newlands asserted that the hold
ing of the islands twill eventually in
volve this country in an international
would prove as costly as the Boer war
was to Great Britain. And so i would
withdraw with honor now rather than
have to withdraw in the future he
concluded.

tion by Mr.. Bulkeley TO refer the

OPPONENTS OF INCOME
TAX ARE CONFIDENT

WASHINGTON. June 1d.-When the
income tax question comes before the
senate FOR vote next Friday, tho plan
of its opponents. backed by the influence
OF President Taft to circumvent the
adoption OF such measure, will be fully
outlined, Already the opponents express
for the income tax amendment a provis-
Ion for a. tax the net earnings OF
corporations available for dividend pur-
poses. coupled with a provision for the
eral states OF a constitutional amendment
giving congress the power to levy or col
lect direct taxes on incomes.
For several days 1t has been recognized
by the opponents OF the income tax uues-
ton that the only way they could make
certain, the defeat of the proposition
would be to offer something in its stead
which would be acceptable to the coun-
try. Ii became known that President
Taft disagreed with the supporters OF a.
tax on incomes and would lend the ad-
Its defeat
Confirmation Agreed To.
Several prominent Republicans, notably
Messrs. Brown, Jones and Bourne. have
been called to the White House, and
President Taft has discussed with them
al amendment 10 the states. Senator
Adrich was at the White House today
and was the guest OF President Taft at
luncheon, They discussed this PROPOSE
agreed with the president that the cor
poration tax plan would be wise. Ii is
understood that the president believes
the income tax question should not again
be submitted 10 the supreme court but
at the same time he takes the position
IT is said, that congress should be given
the power to levy taxes on incomes It
is his theory. according to members OF
the senate who have talked with him,
that the right of congress TO levy such
tax should be determined as soon as pos
sble, In order that this method of raising
revenues should be accessible in time of
war or other emergency. Harmonizing
with the attitude of the president. the
provision for tax on undistributed net
earnings of corporations, If adopted,
probably would be limited to n period OF
two years, 1t is argued that the law
necessary.
Every effort will be made by Senators
Borah. Cummins and Bailey, and their
followers among progressive Republicans
and Democrats. to get direct vote in the
senate next Friday on the income tax
amendment. The conference on that sub
tect was attended by Messrs. Cummins
Borah, La Toilette. Bailey and Clay
They sought to meet the changing senti-
mont In the senate by deciding TO amend
the Bailey Cummins amendment to pro-
vide for tax on tho undistrhuted earn
ings of corporations and excluding from
taxation dividends OF corporations which
are paid to individuals. This is simply
another form of providing against double
taxation In an income tax law.

SUPREME COURT PAT
 ON LIQUOR STORAGE

The Supreme Court stands pat on it's former decision as to the storage of liquors. and denied the application of the city of Bessemer for q re-hear- ing in its case against W. s. Eidge In the original decision the court ruled. concurring with the opinion of Justice sayre that liquor, when legal ly acquired, is property and may be stored in any quantity and at any place.
 The opinion. coming as 1t did before the passage of the Fuller and Car michael bills, bestowed great license on the locker clubs. The State ap- piled for a re-hearing. without effect
 The liquor storage opinion Is of no significance in light of the present prohibition laws. 1t is believed. It Is known, however. that the declaration Of the Supreme Court had much to do with the passage of the last prohibi- ton laws.
