TEN SECONDS BETWEEN
RESCUE AND DEA1H

Had ten seconds more elapsed be-
tween the time of the Quinn autUmo-
bile accident and the rescue of Mrs.
Thos. u. Green, at the Hackfeld wharf
on Friday night, she would have died
a terrible death. Had it not been for
the feverish haste with which her hus-
band DIR. Green, the Redpath Lyceum
Bureau lecturer, and many Hawaiian
stevedores worked, the tragedy would
have been a fearful one, for the
car burned to mass of twisted iron
in few minutes from gasoline leak

soon as the unconscious woman was
dragged from beneath the car.

Court proceedings in the cases of the
strike leaders yesterday finally resulted
in the release of Maxine and his col
leagues on bail after formal charges of
being disorderly persons and conspiracy

Kawamura and Negoro being included
in joint Indictment that was found
by the grand jury after it had been
in session during the greater part of
the morning.
Goo Wan Hoy and K. Kawasaki are
sureties for the men. On the charge
of being disorderly persons Judge Rob-
inson fixed the bond at $3.50, and on
the charge of conspiracy the bond was
fixed at $1,000.
The five Japanese who were arrested
as witnesses and all connected with
the Nippu Jill, also secured their re-
lease in the afternoon, bonds being fixed
at $3.50 each. The men were NJ. Yama'

tion'' of Editor Sheba was simply
"hearsay," because he could not read
Japanese; and that the TRANSACTIONS
could not be taken as conclusive evil
dence.
Whitney Favors Bail.
Judge Whitney did not seem to think
that the request for the remanding of
the witnesses without bail was justified
by the circumstances. He said that the
men had already been in Jail three
days and that there was no evidence at
hand as to the ones that actually had
a knowledge of the crime for which
they> were held as witnesses. In view
of all the conditions of the case, he
said that he was strongly inclined to
the opinion that the men were entitled
to the privilege of securing their liberty
on bail.
In accordance with this opinion
Judge whitney said that he would
grant a continuance until 4:30 O'Clock.
Kinney then asked that the case be
continued until Q o'clock this
morning. He said that it would take
considerable time to re-examine each
witness separately and determine those
that could be released on their own
recognizance because their testimony
would tend to duplication.
Lightfoot objected and had some
thing more to say about the sacred
principles of the Constitution.
Judge Whitney said that counsel
should be given fair time in which
to examine the Japanese again, adding
that he had no objection to taking up
the question of bail again this
morning at 9 o'clock, and accordingly
adjournment was taken until that hour.

the latter stated that they would b'

He said that the opinion of the Attor'

being plain that the interests of JUS

witnesses to go free and be influenced
by the threats and intimidations of

QUICK FULF|LMENT OF

within five miles of the base of the
volcano have been ordered to take
refuge elsewhere.
The Prophecy Fulfilled.

Washington Bureau Of
the Ottumwa Courier,

Washington, D. c., April 8, 1909.
Representative Hull of Tennessee
has been studying the income tax
problem, and has developed theory
about it which is attracting serious
consideration. He has introduced
two bills on the subject, one of which
represents a completely new idea.
Mr.. Hull maintains that the income
tax act of 1894 Is still on the statute
books, bias never been repealed and
Is subject to enforcement insofar as
the decision Of the supreme court did
not invalidate it. Comparing the text
of that act with the decision of the
supreme court, Mr.. Hull finds that
there is good deal of income tax
law left in it, unaffected by the court
decision. He believes it is just as live
as ever, and that nothing is needed
further than to sit about enforcing it.
To this end he has introduced bill.
This measure is unique. Its first
section reads thus:
1.-The secretary Of theStreasury is re-
CURED to proceed with the assess
ment and collection of taxes imposed
by sections 81 to So inclusive Of the
acS to reduce taxation, to provide rev.
enue for the government, and for
other purposes, which became a law
August &c, 1894" This is the old in
come tax bill Of the Cleveland admin
istration.
Mr.. Hull has read up the court de-
cisions, made careful study Of the
status of the legislation in view Of
the decision which is commonly refer
red to as having knocked out the
law" and is of the opinion that there
is plenty left that is well worth en-
forcing. His bill provides that, just
as if nothing had happened, the treas
ury proceed to enforce the law. 1t
further provides that il the secretary
of the treasury fails to comply, then
it shall be the duty of the attorney
general to proceed in a circuit court
to compel him to do so. If the attor-
ney general, in turn, refuses to start
such proceedings, then any person
who is liable to pay taxes under the
act may institute proceedings in any

WOuLDPL.ACE BAR.
UPON EVIDENCE

In an effort to bar any showing OF
the attorneys for Charles Hallgren in
the suits against him charging the IL
legal sale Of liquors, that court OF
record has declared the revocation pc
tition insufficient, the Law and Order
league today placed on file in the
county clerks Office petition of inter-
vention by R. A Mills in the case en-
titled John w. Scott VS.. Charles Hall
gren. The object Of the petition is to
estop any showing by the attorneys of
the defendant Hallgren relative to The
revocation petition, and it also prays
the court to hold that Hallgren is gull
ty of violating the law in the sale of
liquors at 1872 East Main street and
shall be enjoined. This petition also
calls attention of the court to the fact
that R. A. Mills is the plaintiff in a
suit for Injunction against Hallgren
which Judge M. A. Roberts set for
hearing upon January 5, 1909, but
through no service being secured on

Tennessee Congressman Maintains
Income Tax Law is Now in Force

circuit court, in the name of the
United States, to compel the secre-
tary to execute the act. And an APP
peal to the supreme court may be
taken by either party to such proceed
ing, this appeal to be expedited as
much as possible.
This measure, in short, looks to a
reopening of the old income tax case
and to giving the supreme court an
other guess at it's construction. No
body knows how the court might
stand on such proposition. 1t might
on the one side reverse its former
rulings, and, constituting the old act
together as a whole, conclude that
it was really good law, or it might
decide that these sections referred 70
in the Hull bill, and which Mr.. Hull
thinks are not affected by the court
decision, are in fact still sound and
enforceable. In any case, 1t would
give the supreme court as now con-
stituted chance to pass on the old
act
In addition to this measure, how
ever, Mr.. Hull has drawn up and In
troduced a new income tax measure,
which is designed to take the place of
the act of 1894 if it is held that the
effort to rehabilitate that measure is
useless. Mr.. Hull has been in con-
ference with other Democrats, partic-
ularly Mr.. Hitchcock of Nebraska, who
recently introduced an income tax
measure that has attracted a good
deal Of attention. The Hitchcock bill
provides that total of $300,000,000
shall be levied annually against the
incomes of citizens of the states, in
proportion to their population, but
that it shall be collected in proper
tion to the incomes of the people; and
if the amount paid by wealthy states
is larger in proportion to population
than that collected from poorer states,
no steps shall be taken to gather IN
the deficiency from the poorer states.
This makes distribution which Mr..
Hitchcock believes is equitable and
at the same time not violative of the
constitutional requirement that the
distribution be in proportion of popu-
lation.
