did not escape through a technicality."
II want Judge Greene here when
the orders are made. however. and ask
that all cases set for today and to-
morrow to be continued until We'd

1t will be remembered that Curtis
swore out warrants which
brought about the arrest OF more than
one hundred women in the segregated

the English pugilist tonight received

A big crowd was present, there
being great interest in the bout on ac-
count of the lively fight these two
men put up last November when Britt
was the Victor. Tonight Summers got
the decision on points.
Both Summers and Britt had trained
hard for this meeting and were in
far better condition than when they

SUGGESTS INCOME TAX
TO OVERCOME DEFICIT

New York, Feb, 22-An income tax
designed to overcome objections when
were raised when the tax was last I'M
posed, Is suggested by Jacob II. Schiff.
of the banking firm of Kuhn. Loeb and
Company, a means to meet the In
creasing deficit in the United States
treasury.
Discussing his plan Mr.. Schiff after
condemning the Issuance of additional
government securities pernicious
and dangerous" said:
What we need Is real revenue
producing system which shall inter-
fere in no way and affect as little as
possible questions connected with the
tariff or the countries bank or cur
rency systems. / believe this is to be
found In the income tax.
The objections, 1t seems, can be met
by means of measure which shall
tax only income or revenue derived
from business and especially interstate
commerce. If investigation is made of
the sources of income in this country
1t will develop that an enormous
revenue, to which practically all will
contribute in an equitable manner can
thus by means OF moderate income
tax be produced"
Charles H. Treat. treasurer of the
United states, favors a direct proper
tionate tax on incomes.
II believe that 1t would assist con-
siderably and am in favor of an in
come tax coming from business eff
forts and the result of mans labor"
he said. "As matter of fact feel
that 1t would be quite fair to tax all
who earn over $1,000 a year. to have
an ascending scale as 1t were but
uniform.
Then. too, I believe inheritance tax
is a good revenue raiser These who
obtain money by Inheritance get 1t
from those who certainly can't take
1T with them; SO why not put a tax
upon it?"
