John Bailey and Estil Jones, the two

Gently made statement in which thew
implicated George Graham and Jim
Jones with the killing of Mr.. T. E.
George, late clerk of this county. were
brought over from Princeton on Tuesday
by Sheriff l. ]. Ellison. of Mercer coun-
ty, and on yesterday were taken before a
special grand jury that they might tell
what they knew of the tragedy. When
brought before the jury, of which Mr..
John c. St. Clair was foreman. both
Bailey and Jones stated that their form
er statements were mere fabrications
and without any foundation whatever.
After both Bailey and Jones had ac-
knowledge that they had lied in every
pacticular in so far as Graham and Jim
Jones were concerned, the two prison
ers were brought into court and prompt
ly set at liberty. 1t was the general
impression among our people all the
while that the story told by Bailey and
MS pal was an untruth, and now that
they have confessed that it was. this
reluctance Cd the part Of our citizens to
believe the story is amply indicated.
Sally and Jones were returned to the
Princeton jail on yesterday, the former
to stand trial for highway robbery and
the latter to complete an eight months
sentence which he recently received for
stealing.

To HUNT WAY TO
CURB COAL ROADS
Taft viii Study Commodities
Clause Decision.
CABINET DISCUSSES TOPIC
The President Will Seek a Plan to
Divorce Railroads From Mining and
Suggest Means of Enforcing 1t.

Washington, May 5.-The decision
! of the supreme court of the United
States in the case of the commodities
| clause" of the Hepburn railroad rate
law was discussed at the cabinet
meeting.
President Taft repeatedly has an
nounced that he intends to study the
question of the control of corporations
during the summer months and that
he hopes to be in a position next De-
cember to submit definite views to
congress on the subject.
The commodities clause" decision
undoubtedly will have a distinct bear
ing upon his considerations of the
matter, and it was said that Mr. Taft
will devote himself largely to the sub.
ject of recommending to congress the
passage of legislation which will pre-
vent the possibility of an evasion of
the clause by the coal railroads.
Under the decision Of the court the
railroads can carry the coal of any
company which they do not own out
right. Through holding companies,
however, they could control the mines
and transportation of the output as
though no law on the subject exi1ted
To remedy the act in this respect will
be the question to which the president
will first direct his inquiry.
Mr.. Taft also will have recommen-
dations to make as to legislation tend
ing to bring railroads and other cor
porations more definitely under gov
ernment regulations.
"To clinch the Roosevelt policies"
was one of the campaign slogans of
Mr.. Taft, and it is said the commodi-
ties clause decision will give him an
early opportunity to make clear his
position as president in regard to that
class of legislation. In speeches the
president recently has stated the ne
cessity of amendments to the Sher-
man act.

CHILDREN killed
PICKING FLOWERS
Mang|ed by Train at Crossing
Near Wyoming, Del.

Dover, Del, May 5.-Two children,
Willie Fossett, aged fourteen years,
and Nellie Marker, aged twelve, were
struck by the northbound express on
the Delaware railroad below Wyom-
ing. The boy was crushed and hurt
internally, while the little girl had one
arm and one leg completely severed.
The children were picking flowers
near Hills crossing, which is not
guarded by fiagman. A freight train
had just passed, and they started
across the track, unaware of the prox-
unity of the approaching express, that
was hidden by curve. Just as they
stepped upon the track the train rore
down upon them, and in an instant
their lives were crushed out.
The children were on their way to
school at the time of the accident.
Nearby some section hands were at
work, and one of them was the father
of the little girl victim. He was COM
pletely overcome on learning the hor
rible fate of his child.

INCOME TAX AID
TO rent PAYERS
Senator Root Admits it Could
Not Be Shifted.
HOW PROPERTY IS TAXED

New Yorker Shows by Statistics That
Tax on Real Estate Is Equivalent to
an Income Tax of Fifteen Per Cent.
Senator Bailey Condemns Tax on
Occupation.
Washington, May 5.-In the senate,
during the debate on the proposed in
come tax, Mr.. Root submitted statis-
tics to show the extent to which the
wealth of the country is now taxed by
states, counties and municipalities.
'It is not fact" said Mr.. Root,
"that in this republic property does
not bear very great proportion of
the burden of taxation"
He gave figures to show that the
ad valorem taxes levied upon property
are at the rate of about three-quarters
of 1 per cent, which, he said, would
be equivalent to an income tax of Is
per cent.
He said that in New York state
real estate does not yield a net in
come of more than 81 to 4 per cent,
so that he regarded this tax as very
considerable.
"Who, at last, pays this real estate
tax-the real estate owner or the
renter?" asked Mr.. Borah.
Mr.. Root replied that it was i'm
posed upon the property and paid by it
in spite of any analysis that might be
made as to where it came from.
"But if the income tax existed" in
terposed Mr. Borah, "it would catch a
part of the tax that is shifted to the
renter, would it not?"
eyes; oh, yes" responded Mr.. Root.
While he said he was not arguing
against an income tax, Mr.. Root
begged senators to remember that
the property of the United States now
bears a tax for the support of govern
ment in the United States equal to
nearly eight times the income tax
that they are proposing to assess
upon it."
While challenging Mr.. Root to find
anything in his remarks to the effect
that the property of the United States
did not pay tax, Mr.. Bailey asserted
that property did not even approx
mately contribute according to its
value to the support of the federal
government. He declared that q tax
on an occupation could not be defend
ed in any forum in the world of con-
science and common sense. It was his
firm conviction, he said, that wealth
ought to bear the tax. "It is a mon
strous injustice" he insisted, "for a
man after being compelled to wear a
suit of clothes to tax him for buying
it. think it is not right that obe-
dience to Gods law, law which made
us hungry, should compel us to ap-
pease our appetitesFand yet be charged
for the things which keep body and
soul together"

Powder Struggled Into Colliery Ignited
by Trolley Spark.
Pittsburg, May 5.-An explosion of
powder 1000 feet under ground in the
Aroma mine of the Keystone Coal
company, at Aroma, Westmoreland
county, seriously injured seven miners
and caused a panic among 200 others.
The men were riding into the mine
on train of electric cars, when there
was binding flash, accompanied by
a deafening roar. Believing 1t gas
explosion the men fled in confusion
toward the entrance. Finding there
was no evidence of gas, some returned
and attended the injured men, who
were taken to the hospital at Green's
burg.
The use of powder is forbidden by
the company, but it is believed a can
of about five pounds was being snug
gled into the mine and was ignited
by spark from the trolley.

She Broke Down During Her Direct
Examination and When District At
torney Started His Cross Examlna.
tion She Sank Into Chair and Sobbed
Bitterly.
Flushing, N. Y, May 5.-Mrs vir-
ginia Jenkins Hams, mother of the
defendant, concluded her testimony
after a trying and pathetic ordeal in
&n effort to save her son, Peter c.
Hains Jr., on trial for the murder of
William E. Annis. Now that father,
mother and two brothers of Captain
Hams have testified the trial will soon
reach the "alienist stage" The defense
has but two more lay witnesses to ex-
anime, and as this will be done to-
day the five alienists retained to show
that the young army officer is insane
will probably testify tomorrow.
Feeble and en- the verge of nervous
collapse, the testimony of Mrs. Hams,
who is sixty-nine years old, her refer
ences to "her boy" and her pleading
TO be allowed to tell everything she
knew" made the most dramatic incl
dent of the trial so far. She broke
down and sobbed convulsively
throughout her direct examination by
John F. Mcintyre, chief counsel for
the defense, and when District Attor
ney Dewitt started his cross examina
tion the strain proved too much for
her mothers heart. She sank into the
witness chair and, covering her face
with her handkerchief sobbed bitterly.
AT this point Mr.. Dewitt promptly an
nounced that he had concluded the
cross examination, and the old lady
was taken from the courtroom.
Describing her sons general condi-
tfon during the Washington visit, Mrs.
Hams said he suffered from long
periods of depression, followed by vio-
lent outbursts and confused exclama-
fions.
HE would sit for hours in his chair
staring into vacancy" the witness
said, "and then suddenly jump up and
