Great Activity in
 Southwestern Mines

Mining is already showing considerable increased activi. ty throughout the southwest. ern region, and if present conditions continue, it is not going to be long till mines will be operating with their old time magnitude of out put.
 Mining men from the East, whose visits have been in frequent for many months past, are coming more ire quently..to this region, bring ing in money for development work, and altogether the out look for the mining industry is encouraging.
 Copperis still low; a fraction over 12 cents. but as business resumes over the country and the demand increases for cop- per the price will advance. II will not have to go back to 24 cents, as it was during the strenuous days of the period immediately preceding the collapse, for there will be money in 1t at anything above l2 cents; the trouble even now Is not so much the low price as the absence oI demand for the metal.

 at the Next Meeting

At the next meeting of the board oi supervisors, which will be held on the fret Monday in April, it is probable that the matter of appointment oi county rangers, under the provisions Of an act o. the last legislature, will be taken up. It is practically iore- gone conclusion that Captain Wheeler will te offered the position in Cochise county. While the law allows the appointment of four rangers, probably not more thsn two will be appointed for Cochise.

HUNT FOR VESSEL
THAT HIT ICELAND
Feared That Ship Was Mer-
chant Cruiser and Crew
Was Lost.

LONDON, June IA feet Of tugs
began cruising of Goodwin Sands today
in the hope OF finding some trace Of the
vessel that was in collision with the
Red Star liner iceland Sunday night.
ii is now feared that the victim Of the
accident was a merchant vessel and
that both it and all on board were lost.
II was at first thought that the YES
sci was from the maneuvering feet Of
warships. but as no report has been re-
ceIved by the admiralty OF any mishap
to any members OF the feet, It now
seems certain that the lost vessel was a
merchantmen. The iceland was from
Antwerp 20 New York. She is now at
Southampton, underlying slight repairs
before proceeding. She has a big hole
in her starboard bow.
A court Of inquiry was today ordered
to investigate Saturday nights collision
between the newly commissioned cruiser
Sappho and the Wilson liner Sappho
The cruiser was of the third class type.
and she is now beached in Dover har-
bor She viii have to be taken to

SENATORS ASK VOTE
ON INCOME FIRST
Democrats and Insurgents
Want Corporation Tax
Ballot Held Up.
By ]. c. wELLIvER.

Charging that the Senate Finance
Committee does not intend that the
constitutional amendment provision.
submitting the income tax to the States,
shall be passed a. this session OF Con-
gress. some Of the Democrats and in
surgent Republicans today are talking
Of making a demand that the constitu-
tional amendment measure shall be
voted upon before the corporation AK.
1T is my belief" said one Repub-
hcan Senator, that they don't intend
that the constitutional amendment prop
osition shall pass at all. Have you
seen any poll which assures that two
thirds Of the Senate will support it? No,
and you are not likely to see II.
I have seen lot of letters which
are coming TO people on all sides, pro
testing against the corporation tax; ana
l know that some OF the men who must
vote for II If It is TO pass, are getting
shaky. OF course, we count on the Aid
rich fetch to hold his forces in line
but the fact remains that the situation
is getting uncOmfOrtaDie. l should say
il will postpone the biIls passage
through the Senate for a month yet,
The President relied on the Spreckeis
case to indicate the COnstitutiOnaltty OF
the corporation tax
Now the opposition is pointing out
that the Spreckels case was under a
law WHICH ldlu the same TAX vL All re-
finers of sugar and oil-whether tndivid-
ual. co-partnership. or corporate. Thus
there was no discrimination. In the
present case. there is proposed a tax
on the proceeds of industry when IL is
incorporated, but not otherwise. a dis
criminatton against the corporation
which the Finance Committee and the
Cabinet lawyers are viewing with much
concern. as a possible ground for max
ing the measure unconstitutional
Finally, the protest Of the small cor
porations all over the country is being
heard and is giving much concern.
There is talk of letting them out by
providing 4 limit Of net earnings, below
which no tax shall apply. But this,
again. makes a form of discrimination
as to which there is doubt on both
constitutional and administrative
grounds.

The captured man gave his
name as Leong Ling.
Detectives Vanduzen and
Rooney were sent out this
morning by Chief Rynex with
copies of the circulars issued

instructed to search every
Chinese place in the city. At

came upon an excited bunch
of Chinese, who acted sus-
piciously, and a search of the
premises revealed a China
man in hiding. The prisoner,
at police headquarters, gave
his name as Leong Ling, but
denied that he was William
III. Leon.
He said he had been in this
city for eight days, this being
the ninth, and that he came
here from New York, where,
he said, he ran a place for
merly at 4 Doyer street. Chief
Rynex is positive he has the

TOWN LOSES.

In the case of Mrs. Alexandra
Fauchsaux vs. the Town of st.
Martinville, for damages for the
breaking of the cabin on the Ba-
you bank, near the bridge, the Su-
preme Court amended the judg-
ment of the District Court and
affirmed the judgment.
Judge Simon had awarded Mrs
Faucheaux $500, the Supreme
Court reduced the judgment to
$3.50.
The judgment was rendered by
Chief Justice Breaux. The judy
ment says A:
l. When the mayor of town
clears the banks of a stream of
trsspassers, in accordance with the
will of the Town Council, he is
performing a public duty, as the
municipality has the authority to
clear, in a legal manner, all public
property from encroachment and
trespass by private individuals
When the mayor employs an ire.
gular method the municipality is
responsible for any damages which
might arise because of the employ.
ment of this irregular method.
2. While the banks of Bayou
.Teche are public property and owe
a servitude TO the public, still
those who have occupied them il
good faith for many years must b'
proceeded against in regular form
unless there is necessity for thu
removal under certain circum
stances.
