MINE SUPERINTEN.
DENT is BLAMED
State Inspector Makes His Report on
Recent Disaster Near Trini-
dad, Colorado.

Denver, July 27.-That the explo.
sion in the Teller coal mine, near
Trinidad, on July 6, in which nine
men lost their lives, was due to the
carlessness or incompetency of the
superintendent, Emory Fisher, is the
glst OF the report of State Coal Mine
Inspector j. d. Jones, made to Cover
nor Shaffroth. Inspector Jones, in
his reports, says that the mine is one
in which a peculiar gas which makes
its presence known by buzzing sound
is prevalent, and should have been
readily known by one familiar with
its workings; that gas had been allow
ed to accumulate in the shaft by the
improper working of the fans and the
further 1act that the fans had been out
of commission entirely for several
hours; that the nine men victims OF
the explosion were allowed to enter
the mine on this day, by reason of an
ambiguous order, easily misunderstood
by them. The order referred to was to
the effect that the mine would not be
in operation on the day mentioned
Miners ordinarily understand that they
are allowed to enter mine regardless
of whether work is being performed
or not, in order to prepare their lay
out for the next day. The men should
have been told, the inspector inti-
mates, that they were not to go down
the shaft for any purpose until the
fans were repaired and everything
placed in shipshape.

Chicago, ILL.,. uly 27.--A special from
Hamburg to the Tribune says: Presi.
dent Rafael Reyes of Columbia, cabled
to Bogota today resigning the presi'
dency. General Reyes in discussing
the situation said the newly assembled
Congress is opposed to Triparite treaty
of Columbia, the United States and
Panama and it is useless for him to
remain in Office when the country
did not share his views. He regarded
Columbia's refusal to recognize the
independence of Panama as childish
and probably will result In the loss
OF the compensation which the United
States is ready to arrange to have
Panama pay. He says his health is
broken by two attempts to assassinate
him and the people are not willing to
support him.

his aeroplane at Fort Myer last even
ing. The occasion by reason Of the
presence OF President Taft and
brilliant assemblage of Washington
Official life, bore an air more social
than aeronautic.
Everybody had expected Wright to
make the first of his official tests
the so-called endurance test" Of an
hour in the air, with passenger
and nobody had forgotten that the
last time he attempted this feat, only
ten months ago, it cost the life Of
Lieutenant Selfridge, of the signal
corps and broken thigh and ribs for
Wright himself. That was the main
reason for the vast crowd, and be-
meath the gaiety there was an under.
tone of apprehension.
A stiff wind caused postponement
OF the expected trial and all that
Wright attempted was brief fight
without passenger, in order to show
the President that the aeroplane real
ly could fly, and to avoid disappoint-
ing the great crowd.

White Plains, n. Y, July 27.--When

stand in his own behalf
DR.. Evans, who declared yesterday
that he is not now and never had been
a paranoiac, resumed the stand this
morning. In my opinion, Mr.. Thaw
is now sane were the first words he
spoke.
Evans Changed His Opinion.
White Plains, N. Y, July 27.-Dr
Evans stated in reply to a question
that Thaw had no delusions or hallu-
cinations at this time. Mr.. Jerome,
in cross examining Evans, called at
tention to his former testimony when
he declared Thaw was insane for a
year before he killed White. DR..
Evans stated that later information
given by Thaw caused him to modify
his opinion. Regarding the brain

Evans said he thought the facts up
on which this report was based were
true at the time but he no longer
believed them to be true. Evans was
followed by Susan A. Merrill, who
testified that she knew Thaw under
several names in 1902 when he rent

INCOME TAX
Plans Will Be Laid to Circumvent Its
Passage On Friday.

Washington, June 15.-When the in
come tax question comes before the
senate for a vote next Friday the
plan of it's opponents backed by the
influence of President Taft to circum-
vent the adoption of such a measure
will be fully outlined. Already the
opponents express confidence in their
ability to substitute for the income
tax amendment provision for tax
on net earnings of corporations avail
able for dividend purposes coupled
with a provision for the submission
to the legislatures of the several
states constitutional amendment Civ
ing congress the power to lay or coll
lect direct taxes on incomes.
For several days it has been recog-
nized by the opponents of the income
tax question that the only way they
could make certain the defeat of the
proposition would be to offer some-
thing in it's stead which would be ac-
ceptable to the country. Taxes on
net earnings of corporations. gross
receipts of corporations dividends of
corporations and other forms of cor
poration taxes were brought forward
one after another only to meet rejec-
tton from advocates of the income tax.
1t became known that President Taft
disagreed with the supporters of
tax on incomes and would lend the
administrations influence to bring
about their defeat. But the income
tax faction, numbering all of the
Democratic senators and a number of
progressive Republicans variously es-
fin1otoH from, tu-o1y-o 70 nil
have been keeping up bold front, re-
fusing to be diverted from their pur-
pose by the suggestion of different
forms OF corporation tax.
Early in the present session Sen
ator Brown of Nebraska, a progress
sive Republican introduced an amend
ment providing for the submission of
the income tax question to the sever
al states as an amendment to the con-
stitution. After the several PROPOSE
tions providing for taxes upon cor
porations had been rejected the
Brown amendment was seized upon as
the basis for a compromise. Several
progressive Republicans, notably
Senators Brown, Jones and Bourne
have been called to the white house
and President Taft has discussed with
them the question of submitting a
constitutional amendment to the state.
1t is said that a number of progress
sive Republicans have expressed
themselves as willing to support an
amendment providing for a tax of
two per cent on the undistributed net
earnings of corporations, available
for dividend purposes if an amend
ment is adopted submitting to the
states the question of adopting an
amendment to the constitution CIV
ing to congress the right to collect
direct taxes on incomes.

JAPANESE RAISE
LARGE QUESTION
Hawaiian Strike May Develop
Into an International Con-
troversy Under Treaty

Honolulu, June 15.-The situation
growing out of the Indictment by the
grand jury of the seventeen leaders
in the strike of the Japanese planta-
ton laborers was given an interna-
tional turn today when NJ. Negoro of
the editorial staff OF the Jill, a local
Japanese publication, who was taken
into custody when the offices of that
paper were raided by the authorities
last Friday, made formal complaint
to the Japanese foreign office at Toxic
of the violations of his treaty rights.
The alleged violation of his rights
as Japanese subject, guaranteed un-
der the treaty between the United
States and Japan, he sets forth in
his complaint, consists in the search
of his Office and the seizure of his
private papers and documents by the
territorial authorities without due
process Of law.
Territorial Sheriff William Henry
admits that the search and seizure
was made by force Of arms and with
out search warrants or process of
law, but claims that the papers seized
contained evidence of criminal pur-
pose and that the courts Of the terri
tory are open to Negoro for redress
If he has been damaged.
Negoro was rearrested together

Strikers today attacked and seri-
ously stabbed Japanese restaurant
keeper at Kahana for having refused
to furnish them with food. The place
is distant and inaccessible, but the
sheriff has started for the scene to
make an investigation. Most of the
Japanese have returned to work on
the Eva and Waialua plantations and
there are full forces of strike break
ers on the Honolulu and Oahu planta-
tions.
1t is reported from Hilo that the
Japanese there have selected dele
cation to come to this city and join
in the formal demand upon the plant
ers' association for an increase in
wages to one dollar day.
