WRECK OF BRIGHT CAREER
Story Behind the Suicide of Edward
Halsey Sanford at Versailles,
France. Last Week.

Paris, May 25.-There is sad story
behind the suicide at Versailles last week
of Edward Halsey Sanford. Mr.. Sand
ford was the son of Edward Sanford. a
lawyer of New York, and studied law in
the office of ]. H. ChOate. AS a young
man he married Ella Hoffman. daughter
OF the late Governor John T. Hoffman OF
New York From the beginning his mar
ried life was unhappy and several years
ago he came TO Paris. where for a time
he was one of the leaders of the American
colony.
Mrs Sanford was rich in her own
right Several years ago the marital in
felicity of the couple reached its climax
when Mr.. Sanford obtained a divorce and
the custody of his daughter. Since that
time he had kept up appearances, but he
led a more or less precariOus life. The
divorce was followed by recriminations
on both sides. Mrs. Sanford, who re-
sumed her maiden name and who is liv-
ing in Paris, has claimed that Sanford
pursued her for money, while Sanford
alleged that his former wife, who is said
to enjoy an annual income of S20,000 did
not keep to the Arrangement by which she
was to provide for the daughter. A few
days ago the proprietor of the hotel "a
whom he owed $50, threatened to put
SANFORD out into the street unless he
paid. Appeals were made through third
parties both to his former wife and tC
his brother Lewis, but no responses came

French woman OF wealth. and lives in a

TAKE OFFENSE
Refuse to Surrender Control of
Income Tax Fight to Mi
nority Senators.

Washington, May 25.-Had it not been
for the attitude of the progressive Re
publicans' who favored the adoption Of
an income tax amendment 10 the tariff
bill, it is probable that Senator galley
might have reached an agreement today
with the members Of the finance commit
tee for a vote on his amendment on
June 10.
Offense was taken by some of the in
surgent Republicans because of the notice
served by the Texas, senator yesterday
that no general agreement could be OBJ
tanned on any phase of the tariff bin so
sion for the fixing of a date for a vote on
Senator -Bailey's income tax amendment.
1t was made clear at informal confer
eneeS that the Republicans supporting the
Cummfns amendment desire the continu-
ance of coalition with the Democrats, but
that they did not want IT at the expense
Of surrendering the control Of the in
come tax fight TO the Democrats. Sen
ator Cummins conveyed this view TO Sen
atOr Bailey.
Senator Cummins said tonight that he
would offer his income tax amendment as
soon as consideration of schedules had
been concluded. He will revise his amend
ment TO meet the wishes Of number of
Republicans. 1t will provide for a flat
rate of ? per cent on incomes, including
those of corporations. A drawback will
be allowed to individual stockholders of
corporations equal to the sum paid on
when it can be shown by the individual
that the total of his income is less than
s. 60 a year. The Bailey amendment pro-

the sugar schedule. sbut did not ap-

was entirely given over to speechmak-
ing and. strange to say, the two speeches
on the subject, while m Lde by Demo-
crafts. advocated a high tariff on sugar
of all grades.
The speeches were by Senator's Foster
and MCEnery of louisiana Mr.. Foster
laughingly deprecated the application Of
the word protection" to his attitude,
but Mr. McEnery boldly espOused the
protective theory and openly advised his
Democratic friends to follow his exam
pie. He declared protection TO be in the
line Of Democratic policy.
Republicans Attentive.
Mr.. McEnery was given careful atten-
ton by the leading Republican sena-
tors. but his remarks received scant at
tention from his Democratic colleagues.
The lumber schedule was temporarily
put aside to permit the committee on
finance to make changes in IL.
Senator Beveridgs spoke in support
of his contention that President Taft
had been a consistent advocate of a
downward revision of the tariff. He fol-
lowed the maiden effort of his Demo-
cratic colleague, Mr.. Shiveley, who un-
dcrt0ok % prove that if the tariff bill
now before the senate should become a
law the rates over which the senate is
wrangling would not constitute the tar
in but that the country would find it
self operating under the maximum rate.
