Problem Of Beelzebub's Appearance
Theme Of Discussion.

CHICAGO. May l8.-Whether or
not Beelzebub appeared in person on
earth in the scenes depicted in the
Bible stories was a mooted point
brought BY Professor Andrew G..
Zenos Of the Mccormick Theological
Seminary before a conference Of
Presbyterian ministers. The pastors
disagreed on the exact intent Of the
Bible writers and in the definition Of
Satan.
"A great many people are troubled
with the ideas" said Professor Zenos,
"that there must be an evil personal
ity at the head of all evil. Let us re-
member that the Bible has language
of its own. / do not believe that IT
is necessary to believe that physical
man came to Christ and tempted him,
but believe in the personality of
the Devil in the Bible. This personal
ity, however, is not one Of the cardi-
nal doctrines. The evidence is in ia.
vor Of a personal devil. The man who
denies this, however, is not necessar-
ily to be pronounced unChristian."

SPOKANE REJECTS THE
TARIFF OFFERED
WILL INSIST AT THE MEETING
ON JUNE 9 THAT DECISION
BE AFFIRMED.

SPOKANE, May lS.-The shippers
Of Spokane have voted to reject the
schedule of transcontinental freight
rates submitted to the Interstate
Commerce Commission by the rail-
ways.
"Their schedule fails to comply
with the principles laid down by the
commission in its Spokane decision"
declares H. NJ. Stephens, attorney for
the shippers. Practically the only
instances in which they seem to give
rates in compliance with the decision
are cases where we produce the ar
ticles involved, the apparent purpose
being to discourage home industry"
At the hearing before the commits
sion June 9 the shippers of this city
will insist on schedule conforming
to the ruling in the Spokane case
which it is estimated will effect
saving Of 100000 a year to ship
pers of this district alone. As the
same principles of '1ong and shor
hauI' apply to all interior towns o
the West, the total saving is esti
mated at tens of millions

Effort 10 be Made to Refer Bail
ey Amendment to Judiciary
Committee for Approval
VOTE SAID TO Be VERY CLOSE
Progressive Republicans and Demo-
Gratis Combine and Statement Issued
They Have As Votes Which IS a
Majority, and VIII Garry Measure.

WASHINGTON, May l8. That
there viii be sharp contest in the
senate over the proposition to refer
to the Judiciary committee the
amendment to the Payne tariff bill
introduced by Senator Bailey provid-
ing for an income tax, is indicated BY
a collation. Of democrats and some Of
the progressive" republicans which
became known today.
The indications are that the vote
will be close, probably the closest
that will occur on any vote taken on
the tariff bill. The democratic strength
is 81 votes all pledged to the support
Of the amendment. Senator Bailey j.
counting on l6 or II republican votes
for the amendment. Fifteen would
be sufficient if the democrats would
vote solidly for the amendment. On
! the other hand, conservative" repub-
licans in charge Of the tariff bill say
they have made some inroads upon
the progressive" camp and that
there is no question Of referring the
subject of income tax to the judiciary
committee for report at the next reg
ular session. They already have 45
votes pledged. Until recently the
democrats and progressives were far
iapart over the form Of the bill.
Senator's Cummins and Borah who
Ewere the chief republican advocates
for the income tax favored gradu-
ated tax and opposed tax on corpo-
Irations. AS they surrendered these
contentious in order to get a vote,
lit was said today that an agreement
would be reached upon the principle
features of the Bailey bill, The plan
lis to provide flat tax Of two OF three
Eper cent upon individual and corpo-
rate incomes above 5000. y In order
that there will be no double taxation
provisions are made for deductions
where the tax upon corporation stocks
have been paid through the corpora
, ton itself.
After devoting a greater part Of th'
davis session to debate the senate
passed upon a number Of importan
, committee amendments to the tariff
, bill 1t also rejected the amendmen
. by Senator Stone restoring the Ding
