DEMOCRATIC OAUOuS-

The democrats of the Senate at
o'clock yesterday afternoon held q eau
Gus. 1t was made clear that the demo-
cratic senators are strongly 10 favor of
all three propositions now before the
SeDate--the inheritance lax, which both
Mr.. TAFT and the House favor; the tax
on corporation incomes, which the pres.
ident proposes 10 addition to the tax on
inheritance, and the income tax.
They favor the income tax as embrac-
ing all three of the matters under con-
sideralion because it provides not only
a tax en- individual corporation incomes,
but likewise for tax on requests and
inheritances. There are q few demo-
cratic senators who are opposed TO the
income tax, but it is understood that
practically sll the democrats will follow
the majority sentiment of the democratic
side.
AT the caucus it was decided to leave
the parliamentary and floor generalship
to Senator Bailey in this contest. Ordi-
Dadly it would devolve upon Senator
Oulberson, the minority leader, but as
Mr.. Bailey lie the democratic sponsor of
the income tax measure and hss been
leading the fight heretofore, it has been
decided to have him continue in thst
role. The democrats, as we'll as the
progressive" republicans advocating an
income tax, would prefer to obtain 3
vote on the income tax measure first
They know that il the vote is first taken
on the Taft PROPOSE it is almost sure of
adoption, because many of those who
favor the income tax also favor the tax
Oh corporation incomes, which in reality
is only psrt of the income tax amend
ment pending before the Senate.

Oheiiek Pasha began the hurried dis
patch of troops to northern Albania
Today, in response to messages from
Djeved Pashs, that another battle with
the Albanian rebels is imminent. The

which was thought to be decisive at the
time, now threathens to precipitste a
general rebellion throughout all OF
Albania. Thousand of tribesmen have
