CAPTURE
BLACKHANO CROWD

Cincinnati, June 1S.-In a raid
made by postoffice inspectors and
city detectives, a patrol wagon full
of Italians was rounded up last night
and taken before the federal commits
sioner. The party comprised an even
dozen men, and two of that number,
Vicenzo Arrigo, fruit dealer, and
Frank Spadero, saloonkeeper, were
held over on warrants charging them
with conspiracy in connection with
an alleged attempt to extort money
from John Amicon of Columbus, by
blackhand methods. The remaining 10
were allowed to go, though it is said
some of them are to be kept under
surveillance and will be called as wit
nesses.
In the raid, a large amount of lit
erature was captured, which the in
spectors declare has an important
bearing on the cases of the blackhand
suspects recently arrested at Marion,
Columbus and other Ohio points.

TENOR OF TESTIMONY OF SER
WANTS AGAINST MRS.
HOWARD GOULD.

New York, June 1S.-The ordeal
to which Mrs. Howard Gould has been
subjected for the past several days,
continued yesterday with undated
vigor, procession of servants tes-
tifying in Mr.. Gould's behalf all day,
and the burden of their testimony
was the same intoxication and the
overbearing manner of Mrs. Gould
and the patience of her husband.
Only once was there break in the
monotonous testimony, and that was
when Attorney Nicoll, counsel for
Mr.. Gould, called Melville E. Chap
man, broker, who was guest of
the Goulds on their yacht, the Nj
agara, during several cruises of the
year 1905. His testimony was in the
same general trend as that of the
other witnesses, that he saw Mrs.
Gould intoxicated But in an effort
to discredit this witness, Attorney
Shearn drew the ugly word black
mali from Nicoll and became so
much agitated at its application to
his own conduct of the case, that for
some moments he was unable to con-
tinue his cross-examination. The
court ruled the use CT the word Of
fensive, and Nicoll apologized for in
PRODUCING it.

.BULOW DEMANDS
FINANCE REFORM
cHANcELLoR's SPEECH REGARD
ED AS THREAT OF RADICAL
ACTION.

Berlin, Germany, June 1S.-Ger--
many's great internal crisis arising
from the reichstag's failure to reach
an agreement on the problem of tax
alton has been brought to an acuter
stage as result of the appeal which
Chancellor Bulow made to the fac,
lions blocking the path of finance re-
form. The speech, which is cha-ac-
teriZed as an ultimatum, forms the
subject. of vehement discussion
throughout the empire and the gen.
eral opinion is that Prince Bulow has
decided to force a decision and ac-
cept the consequences.
The chancellor virtually told his
hearers that the inheritance tax pro-
visions, which the agrarians are fight
ing bitterly, must be adopted and that
the liberal and non-agrarian elements
must have voice in legislation
Many members of the reichstag are
of the opinion that the speech is an
implied threat that unless the finance
bill, containing the inheritance tax
provisions is adopted, he will take
radical steps to settle the matter
forthwith, either by resigning or by
compelling the dissolution of the
reichstag and the holding Of a new
election.

CAUSE OF DEATH
so SAY PHYSICIANS IN REPORT
ON DENISE OF MRS. JANE
CLEMiNSON.

Chicago, June 1S.-Chloroform adj
ministered externally, caused the
death of Mrs. Nora Jane Cleminson,
wife of DR.. Haldane Clemenson, May
81, according to the official report
made to Coroner Hoffman last night
by physicians who made chemical
analysis of the woman's body.
Cleminson, when arrested after his
wife's death, declared that she must
have poisoned herself accidentally.
No disposition of his case has been
made. The coroner's inquest will be
reopened today.
Coroner Hoffman said it would be
extremely difficult for person to com
nit suicide by the external applica-
ton of the poison, as sleep would
come before the second application
could be made. With the cause of
death determined definitely, the mys-
terry is expected to be cleared soon.

SIGNIFICANT TESTIMONY BY A
COAL EXPERT IN Gov
EMINENT SUIT.

New York, June 1S-W. w. Ruly,
statistic1an of the anthracite COM
panies, was witness yesterday in
the governments suit charging the
coal roads with maintaining an il
legal combination. He was ques-
toned as to the working of the agree
ment, following the settlement of the
strike in 1902, through the interven-
ton of President Roosevelt, by which
the miners were to receive one per
cent. increase in wages for every five
cent advance above $3.50 per ton
made by the mine owners.
For every dollar of this excess
paid by the companies, to the min
ers," the witness was asked, "how
much did the public pay to the COM
panies?"
Ruly admitted that in all likeli-
hood the companies received at least
as much from the increase in price
as did the miners.
$50 that if labor received $4,000
900 more in wages since the strike of
1902, and the operators benefited
equally, the public must have paid
$34, 100000 more for coal?"

SAYS PENSION Bill.
MAY STAND TEST
Madison. June rs.


In a lengthy opinion, in which he
discusses thoughtfully all the aspects
of the teachers pension bill, 267s, by
Senator Stout, Attorney General
Frank l.. Gilbert comedies the benefit
of doubt to the measure and con-
cludes that, IF signed, the statute
would be capable of being sustained,
except as to its retroactive features.
which, as already indicated, may be
eliminated without impairing the re-
naming portion of the law
The attorney general holds in eff
feet that the $4,000 appropriation
from the general fund can be con-
strued to be of a sufficiently bene-
fetal character to education of Wis
consin children to be considered
public purpose; and that therefore
the main provisions of the bill will
stand a constitutional test. As re-
CARDS some of the retroactive feat
ures of the bill providing for the pen
sioning of teachers now out OF the
service. Mr.. Gilbert holds, with the
support of New York decisions. that
these retroactive provisions are I'M
constitutional.
The reasoning upon which the pen
sioning Of teachers now in service is
held to be a state benefit is to the
effect that a pension system would
attract a better class of teachers.

JUGGLING WITH
THE TARIFF BILL
AND DEMOCRATS
scHEMlNG FOR POLITICAL
ADVANTAGE.
PRESIDENT SUBMITS DRAFT OF
BILL FOR PROPOSED TAX ON
CORPORATION EARNINGS.

Washington, June 49, When the
income tax question comes up IN the
senate today, Senator Aldrich again
will move that action be deferred un-
til after the schedules in the tariff
bill shall have been completed.
This motion will carry with it
President Taft's program for the en-
actment of law taxing net earnings
of corporations and the adoption of
a resolution submitting the question
of amending the constitution so as
to permit congress to levy and col
lect tax on incomes without regard
to apportionment among the states.
Mr.. Aldrich will make a statement
that he believes the consideration of
the schedules may be finished by
Monday and will suggest the post
ponement of the income tax and cor
poration tax measures until that
time.
At a caucus of democratic senators
yesterday, it was decided that the
minority shall stand by their previous
declaration in favor of the enact
ment of an income tax law at the
present session. There were speeches
by Senators Bailey, Shively, Culber-
son, Money and Rayner, and brief re-
marks by a number of others, in
which the opinion was expressed that
the administration movement in ia
vor of placing tax on the earnings
of corporations is designed to pre-
vent the income tax amendment from
reaching a direct vote.
All these senators did not denounce
the plan of the president for taxing
corporations. Many democrats be-
lieve in that plan, but they are OPP
posed to sidetracking the income tax
issue.
Previously to the caucus, there was
a discussion of the presidents pro-
gram in the democratic cloakrOom.
1t was suggested that Mr.. Bailey
might withdraw his amendment until
after Mr.. Aldrich presents his amend
ment for tax on the earnings of
corporations. The purpose of that
move would be to avoid the presl-
dents plan being offered as sub
stitute for the income tax amend
ment The Bailey amendment then
could be offered after the corpora
ton tax amendment was before the
senate, and only a motion to table or
refer to committee could displace
it. Thus, direct vote on the amend
ment, it was argued, could not be
prevented. Attorney General Wick
ersham presented to Mr.. Aldrich a
draft of the amendment which Pres
ident Taft desires to have adopted,
placing a tax on the net earnings of
corporations. This draft was sub
mitted to the republican members of
the finance committee yesterday. but
no action was taken regarding it. 1t
was not made public, and the mem
bers of the committee declined to
discuss its provisions.

SUGAR TRUST A CONSISTENT
LAWRREAKER SINCE ITS
BIRTH.

New York, June 1S.-On his depar-
ture for Europe Samuel Unsermyer
declared that the federal government
has not made any honest attempt TO
curb criminal practices by the cor
porations. He criticised former Presi-
dent Roosevelt severely for giving i'm
munity to the steel trust, and ex-
pressed the belief that if efforts to
curb the corpo1 nations are suspended
the country will have an upheaval
compared with which "the mild and
harmless experiments of the last adj
ministration will seem like a midsum-
er zephyr alongside of a cyclone.

Untermyer
Mr.. Untermyer acted as counsel for
Adolph Segal in the recent suit
against the sugar trust.
He was moved to make these state
menss by request for his views as
to criminal prosecution of the sugar
trust. Asked as TO whether his client
had decided to press such a prosecu-
ton or take any active part in aiding

What would he the use. The sugar

White Plains, N. Y, June 1S.-Har-
ry K. Thaw will have to wait in the
Matteawan asylum until July for a
hearing to determine whether he is
now sane and in condition to be re-
leased from the asylum
The case came up before Justice
Mills here yesterday on a writ of
habeas corpus obtained by Thaw.
Thaws counsel, Charles Morschauser,
wanted to go on with the hearing, but
Mr. Clark, a representative of the
attorney general wanted to have the
case transferred to New York county.
District Attorney Jerome of New York
asked that the hearing be postponed
in order to give him an opportunity
to attend to other business. Justice
Mills dec; ded that the hearing would
be held in White Plains.

Mr. Morschauser asked that Thaw
be kept in the jail or either West
chester or Duchess county until the
hearing but the justice declined. JUS
tice Mills, however, ordered Dr. Baker
of the asylum to permit Thaw to stay
up until o'clock at night on the rep
resentation of Thaw's counsel that
he was compelled to go to bed at
p. M. and that this was too early.
Mr.. Morschauser declared that Dis
trict Attorney Jerome was unneces-
sarily bounding Thaw, and that the
asylum authorities were unnecessarily
antagonistic. He said that all Thaw's
papers were taken from him, and
that his counsel was not permitted to
consult with him alone, but only in
the presence of other inmates.
Mrs. Thaw ColIapses.
Thaw's mother, Mrs. William Thaw,
his sister, formerly the countess of
Yarmouth, and his two brothers were
in the court room. When the justice
announced his decision to delay the
hearing Harry's mother collapsed.
She shook as though seized with a,
chill and her daughters called out for
a drink of water, saying that her
mother was choking. The water re-
vived Mrs. Thaw somewhat, but she
was unable to walk.

between her and James Morrison,
the deceased's father. On the part
of the state it was attempted to be
shown that the deceased was the IL
Legitimate son of James Morrison
and Catherine France, who never
intermarried, and that the latter died
before the intestate who left no heirs.
While on the part of the defend
ants it was attempted to be shown
that he was the son of James Morri-
son and jeanette Marshall in about
the year 1897 at Alva Scotland, and
therefore ligitimiZed the issue, by
vurtue of the statute that the defen-
dants Euphemia Krohn, Villa MINOR

jeanette Morrison, who afterward
married William Rankin, but who is
now deceased, and is represented here
by her children.
A great bulk of testimony was
introduced on both sides of the case
tending to show the real parentage
of the deceased, but the supreme
court found cause to aver error in
the admission of part of the testi-
mony on the part of the state and
reversed the circuit courts judgment
and remanded the case for new
trial
