KILLED BY DECISIVE MAJORITY
Tillman Amendment Placing Ten-Cent
Duty on Tea.

Washington, June 30.-When the
tariff bill was taken UP IN the senate
the income tax question was put aside
to enable Senator Tillman TO present
his amendment for duty of 10 cents
a pound on tea with the purpose In
view of completing the schedules be-
fore taking up the tax question.
Everybody was anxious to vote, but
the South Carolina senator was full
of his subject and wanted TO speak.
That he proceeded to do, telling of
the superior quality of the American
grown tea, of the enormous profits
made in the imported article and of
the possibilities in case the domestic
industry should be properly fostered.
In reply to a question he said he be-
lieved that with the duty he asked for
the South would not only be able 80
supply the entire American market,
but would eventually export large
quantity of the leaves that produce
the beverage.
Senator Dixon suggested a bounty
as means Of nurturing the infant tea
industry. Mr.. Tillman responded that
he did not propose to be caught in
advocating bounty. He would not
accept a hounty. he said. IL 81 a pound

HOPE To FIND SOME
TRACE OF LEON LING
Fifty New York Detectives at
Work in New Jersey Towns.

New York, June 30.-The police cor
don thrown about the comparatively
narrow territory comprising Paterson,
Passaic, Hackensack and other neigh
boring towns in New Jersey is tight
ening arourd a number of Cinnamon
among whom the police hope to find
trace of Leon Ling, the supposed muir
derer of Elsie Sigel.
Fifty of the best detectives of In
spectOr McCafferty's staff have been
sent into this district The concen-
tration of SO many of them lent color
to a belief that important informa
tion. carefully guarded from the pub
lie, was In the possession of the po-
lice.
The double mystery of the indie
pendent movements of Leon Ling and
of the trunk containing the body of
Elsie Sigel was apparently no nearer
solution after detectives had run down
the latest clue, the alleged moving of
the trunk on the night of June from
Leon Ling's rooms in Eighth avenue
to a laundry in West One Hundred
and Twenty-sixth street. According
to the man who is supposed to have
moved the trunk Leon Ling did not
accompany it on its travels from the
Eighth avenue address to Harlem, but
sent it on by express. The laundry
was found untenantcd when the de-
tectives visited 1t, however, and no
evidence of value was obtained.

NEGRO BISHOPS

Complaint Against Southern

RULING AT WASHINGTON

Interstate Commerce Commission
Finds That the Allegation of Undue
Discrimination or Prejudice Against
Colored People Was Not Proven
Pullman Company One of the De.
PENDANTS in the Case.
Washington, June 30.-Five bishops
of the African Methodist Episcopal
church, who complained to the inter
state commerce commission that they
were Disseminated against by the
Southern railways and by the Pull
man company in transportation, din.
ing car and sleeping car facilities,
have been informed by the commits.
sion that their complaint was not war
ranted.
The bishops were Wesley j. Gaines,
II. NJ. Turner, Evans Tyree, G. S.
Smith and e. w. hampton. Their
complaint was directed against the
Seaboard Air Line; the Richmond
Fredericksburg and Potomac; the
Southern Railway; the Central OF
Georgia and the Pullman company
1t was alleged that the day coaches
furnished for negro passengers in the
Southeastern states were not equal to
those provided for white people; that
negroes were denied sleeping car ac.
commodations and that they were re-
fused food in the dining cars solely
on account of their color.
At the hearing of the case the COM
plant as to the day coaches was
abandoned, in view of the weight OF
testimony to the contrary, and with
respect to the dining car facilities the
allegations were modified by conces-
sions. Most of the complainants and
their witnesses testified that they
actually did ride on sleeping cars.
1t is held by the commission, in its
decision, that undue discrimination or
prejudice was not shown and the com
plant, therefore. was dismissed.

Democrats Oppose Colleague.
With two mild speeches in favor of
the duty by Senators Hepburn and
Carter, which were much diluted with
protection ingredients, the debate for
a time was not especially animated,
but there was a slight warming up
when the Democrats began to align
themselves against the proposition of
their South Carolina colleague.
Senator McLaurin, the uncompro-
missing Democrat, was the first to OPP
pose 1t, as ne did vigorously Sen
atOr Owen added his voice in opposi-
tion, declaring that tea was protected
by the tea importing monopoly, which
kept the price 80 cents a pound high
er thnn it would be without that mo-
nopoly.
Senator Shivcly insisted that it was
fallacy to claim that the development
of the tea growing industry in this
country would be served by such a
duty.
A Republican vote from the South
was pledged to the duty as a protec-
tive measure. The pledge was made
by Senator Bradley from kentucky.
Senator Bailey gave the duty his sup
port purely as revenue raising ex-
pedient.

ENTERS SENSATIONAL STAGE
Fight of Rival Claimants for Venezu-

S'Shi ScIl|CSSlptS'
Caracas, Venezuela, June 30.-The
case of the Orinoco corporation and
the Venezuelan government, which,
according to the arbitration protocol
of last February, is to be settled di-
rectly between the parties concerned,
has entered upon sensational develop
ments.
After a newspaper campaign of
weeks on the part of rival claimants
to block approval of the American
protocol Nicomedes Zuolaga and Pc
dro Uztaris, claimants to the Imataca
iron mine in opposition to the corpora
tion, have brought suit for criminal
libel against Rudolph Dodge, the Ca
racas repre- ontative of the corpora
ton, charging him with having pur-
posely retained certain documents
signed by George Turnhull until Turn
bull was out of the country and then
giving the documents publicity. Turn
bull left Caracas June IA. These pa
pers are said to be exceedingly dam
aging to Messrs. Zuolaga and Uztaris,
whose alleged titles to the Imataca
mine are, it is asserted, shown to be
not valid. Zuolaga and Uztaris re-
serve the right to bring action against
John Brewer, the American consular
agent here, and any other persons
who may be implicated with Mr.,
Dodge.
The Venezuelan cabinet two days
ago approved the draft of a new con-
cession giving the Orinoco corpora
tion the right to work large tracts of
land containing valuable mineral re-
sources, including the Imataca iron

Washington, June 30-While the
question of tea remained technically
before the senate for a long time it
was impossible to keep the income
tax and the corporation tax questions
entirely in the background They
were referred to more than once and
at one time so pointedly by Senator
Clay as to bring out most interest
ing statement from Senator Aldrich,
who, as chairman Of the finance com
mittee, presented the corporation tax
amendment
Senators Bailey and Clay were prod
ding the chairman of the finance COM
mittee and appeared especially anX-
ious to know whether he would revise
the tariff schedules downward if the
income tax amendment should be
adopted in order to lower the revenue
from customs to an extent equal to
that which would be raised by the in
come tax. It was In response to a
direct question from Mr. Clay that
Mr.. Aldrich responded bluntly:
Il shall vote for the corporation
tax as a means of defeating the In
come tax. | shall be perfectly frank
in that respect, | shall vote for It
for another reason. The income of
the government this year will show a
deficit of $60,00000O Next year there
will be a deficit of $45,O00,000 l am
willing that the deficit shall be taken
care of by a corporation tax, but at
the end of two years it should either
be reduced to a nominal amount or
repealed"
Mr. Aldrich said that he did not
favor as a permanent form Of taxa
tion a tax which is sure in the end
to destroy the protective system"

Persons who conduct places where

automobiles owned by the county snail
be so designated by large letters painted

can easily be seen.
Should this be done, the efforts of
the sheriff and detectives working un-
der the district attorney to obtain evil
dence necessary to convict persons who
run "blind pigs" win be materially
lessened, the stopping of marked ma
chine at the doors of these places being
sufficient proof of the purpose of its

This fact was communicated to the
supervisors by Sheriff Hammel as a
reason why an exception should be
made with reference TO the automobile

sheriff stating that should the car be
marked he would refuse to use 1t in
criminal work. The board is still con-

FRENCH PEASANT NEVER
HAPPY OR PATRIOTIC
Writer Who Has Lived with SUBJ
merged Declares They Are as
Bad Off as Russians

PARIS, July S.-Jules Renard, the
well-known French writer and philos-
opher has published views of the
French peasant which have created a
storm. The papers usually speak of
the French peasant as being a happy
man. Renard says that the peasant is
the only man in France who is accus-
toned to being unhappy.
According to the writer, the peasant
knows that it would be useless for
him to strive for happiness, and for
this reason he has given up the hope
for happiness. He is glad If he is left
in peace by the government and If he
can pay his high taxes and keep his
little home
Another observation by Renard, who
has lived for many years together with
peasants is the lack of what is gem
orally called patriotism in France. The
peasants, for instance, say openly that
they do not care whether France re-
mains a republic or whether 1t be-
comes an empire. The only thing that
the peasants care about is that there
shall be no war, because in times of
war they suffer more than any other
class.
Renard does not go into details He
hints, however, at the fact that the
French peasant lives almost as badly
as does the Russian peasant
