A SENSATION IN CHICAGO

Chicago, July 16.-The holding Of
Vincent A. Altman, assistant business
agent of the Carpenters union to the
grand jury on the charge of placing
bomb 81" that was exploded in the
downtown district the night of June
q, caused a sensation here.
Although Altman has been under ar
rest a week, the strength of the police
evidence against him has been care
fully guarded. Altman's friends of
the labor union predict that it is all a
"bluff" and that he will be released.
The action presages a bitter war be-
tween the unions and the police-a
war that already has opened.
The carpenters have put into the
field a volunteer detective force and
charges have been made that the pc.
lice are afraid to arrest the real bomb
| thrower, who is said to be in posses.
sion of information that police have
protected gambling in this city for

consideration throughout the session
and will be subject to further dis

were unsparing in their charges of
bad faith because the house at the
last session, as they alleged, pledged
itself not to make any additional al
lowances to the president.
Mr.. Rainey of Illinois gave as the
reason for its presentation at this
time, the desire of the president to
boost" the league of republican clubs
throughout the country.

White Plains, n. Y, July 16.-Eve-
Ign Nesbit Thaw went on the stand
here and gave damaging testimony
against her husband, Harry X. Thaw.
1t was the strongest point scored so
far by the state in it's fight to keep
Thaw in the asylum for the criminal
insane at Matteawan. He demands
his release through habeas corpus pro-
cedure on the ground that he is a sane
man. When the days session was
concluded adjournment was taken I'M
til July &c. For three days the state
had been trying to bring out that
Thaw threatened his wife's life on one
of her visits to Matteawan.

Whether assumed or not Mrs. Thaw
expressed apprehension while testify.

saying that she testified because of
the treatment she received at the
hands Of the Thaw family, but on the
stand she apparently struggled hard
not to tell and when compelled to do
so by the court she obeyed reluctant
ly and tearfully.
What were his exact words?" de-
manded Mr.. Clark.
He said; When l get out of here

TAFT AND The
COMMITTEE TILT
SLIGHT BUT POSITIVE EVIDENCE
OF FRICTION ARISES.
HE INSISTS ON EARNINGS TAX
The President Says He Has Enough
Votes In Both Houses to Assure the
Earnings Tax's Passase-Aldrich
Pleased With Stand.

Washington, July 16.-The senate
was in session only Is minutes, ad.
journing until next Tuesday.
Washington, July 16.-Slight but
unmistakable evidence of friction be-
tween the president and the conferees
on the tariff bill have become appar-
ent. A last effort by the conferees
to induce the president to consent to
striking out the corporation tax
amendment failed. The president not
only told Senator Aldrich and Chair
man Payne that he would not with
draw from his position in favor of this
tax but he was assured of sufficient
votes to keep the provision in the bill
and secure its adoption in both houses.
The president reiterated this position
to several of his callers.
Aldrieh Pleased.
Pains were taken at the white
house to make 1t clear that President
Taft did not send for Messrs. Aldrich
and Payne on the occasion Of their
conference. The conference, 1t was
said at the white mouse, had been
sought by the legislative leaders.
Senator Aldrich, 1t is related. was
more pleased than otherwise with the
presidents decision. Being already
committed to the corporation tax he
was anxious that the house conferees
should understand that 1t is purely an
administrative measure and they must
take it as such and not as conces.
sion to the senate.
The senate conferees have suggest
ed to the president that he send per-
sonally for senators to whom pledges
to stand firm have been given by the
senate conferees. The conferees told
| the president that IL the senators
would release the conferees from
their pledges the latter would be glad
