TAFT IN FAVOR OF

Amending Constitution.

Washington June l6 - President
Taft tomorrow will send to congress
a message urging the passage OF an
amendment to the tariff bin imposing
tax Of per cent upon the undlstri-
buted net earnings of corporations,
and the adoption OF resolution sub
hitting to the several states an amend
ment to the constitution giving con-
gress the power TO impose direct tax
on incomes This understanding was
reached at a session Of the cabinet
today and was approved by republi-
can leaders OF the senate, who con-
ferred with the president
In order that there shall be no Ques-
ton that the two propositions TO be
recommended have the support of the

Il Is hoped that all Of the questions
involved may be disposed OF on Fri
day when the pending income TAX
amendment will be taken up.
In view OF the emphatic stand taken

a lodger while Clein was stopping
at that house last January, and
that the witness took from Clein a
.32 caliber gun. He identified the
gun in evidence as the one he had
taken from Clefn.
Attorney Winston demanded that
the state call Sergeant Lathoff Of
Fort Wright, the man by whom the
state expected to prove the pres
ence of Clein at Fort Wright on
March 2. The state objected on
the ground that the sergeant had
refused to stand by the statements
he had made when he was called
by the state.
Judge Webster said he had no
power to compel either side to put
a witness on the stand. The court
stated that had the state tried to
introduce the sergeant against
Clein he would not have permitted
him to testify, as the sergeant had
been on about every side of the
case. He is the man who found
the murdered mans body.

after he had first examined the
body of Saudawski at the Turnbull
undertaking rooms and was told by
the other doctors present that the
officers contended the man had
been dead three weeks, he had
made the remark:
THAT talk is all rot. This man

In explanation Of this remark
DR.. Witter said that he had learn

The character of the wounds and
the condition of the eyes showed
that death had occurred for much

Attorney Winston explained the

of buying evidence, as intimated
by the state, but to compensate the
soldiers who had performed serv-
