Scorcher and Storm Did Not Help
Very Much.

Although moderate southeriy

yesterday proved to be another
scorcher As was the case Monday. an
electrical and rain Storm swept over
this section just before nighttali, nut
the storm lasted only comparative
" short time and it did not relieve
the intense heat to any great eNten.
Later in the night, however, second,
and more severe storm. visited the
city and the rain poured in torrents
for a half hour.
Yesterday was the tenth day OF the
continued hot spell and the weather
man is not promising much in the way
Of relief for today Partly c;OuGy
weather and showers arc TTec;cted
and perhaps it will be a little cooler
as the clouds may prevent Old Sol
from getting in his full time.
So far as could be ascertained last
night neither of the storms did no
great amount of damage In this city
orsection. There was a more or less
vivid display of lightning. but the CEN
ter Of the storm must have been some
distance from this city as the bolts
were not accompanied by any great
peals OF thunder.

Mr.. Aldrich himself today de-
nCunced the INJUNCTION of secrecy by
stating his own pOsificnS which waa
i'm accordance with the rumor. He
spoke in response TO a question from
Senator Clay and in so many words
confessed his advocacy Of the corpo-
ration tax as a means Of defeating
the income tax.
He added another reason, which was
that he thought for the next year on
two there would be a deficit in the
treasury rec ipts. which he was will
ing TO have made good by the income
that would result from the proposed
corporal on tax. With this service
performed he thought the law couis
and would b. materially modified ]
rot entirely repealed.
This frank declaration from th'
Rhode Island senator was seized upoI
by the Democrats as confession tina
the corporation tax is a mere subtcr
fuge TO destroy the income tax. an'
they were not slow in playing IN
the development. Mr.. Aldrich denied
however, that he had Intended 10 us
