of trouble, of a buxom equestrian suf-
fragette, who tried to penetrate the
police Gordon to take a message to
the premier.

command of Mrs. Pankhurst, and it
was received by the crowd with wild
cheers. Escorted by the police, the

met by Chief Inspector Scantlebury,
who handed Mrs. Pankhurst letter
from the premier, regretting his ina
bility to receive the deputation.

ground, Mrs. Pankhurst exclaimed:

subject to enter the house of COM
MONS" and she endeavored to force
an entrance.
The police tried to induce the wo-
men to disperse quietly, and then. be-
gan to take the members of the deputa-
ton by the arms to lead them away
To the surprise of the spectators who
were massed around the entrance, Mrs.
Pankhurst slapped Inspector Jarvis in
the face, knocking his cap in the mud.
There were cries of Shame" and sew
eral of the spectators told the suffra-
gette leader that she had no provoca-
tion to do such a thing.

the deputation, Mrs. Saul Solomon
knocked off the inspectors cap sec
ond time, while others made deter
mined attempts to rush the Gordon Of

proceedings, of the work of both

SENATE-The most important devel-
opment in the senate was the announce
ment of Senator Aldrich that he was ad-
vOcating the corporation tax as a means
of defeating the income tax He denied,
however. that the corporation tax was
a subterfuge ,as the democrats were
quick to charge, and defended it as a
Legitimate means of raising revenue.
Mr.. Aldrich said he expected deficit
for the next year or two, and that the
corporation tax would help meet that
and then might be abolished. The COR
poration tax measure was put before

Tariff II Not Enough.

Cummins suggested the very ex-
istence of a protective tariff system
would make necessary some other
means of raising revenue than that
now followed. The people, he said
would not consent to the excessive
duties that would be necessary to
obtain all the revenue needed from
imports. He said that the "Objec-
tions that are urged against the in
come tax when weighed with the OBJ
jections that can properly be brought
against any other form of taxation
open to congress will be found to be
trivial and ephemereal.

IF it has been fairly established
that we ought now or in the near
future resort to some form of taxa
ton not now employed. there can be
little doubt that we should take in
comes rather than any other form of
property, whether tangible or intan-
gible. as the object of additional tax
alton"
The senator concluded if the gov
ernment depends upon it's present re-
sources, it will have a large deficit
in 1911. AS a practical matter, he
regarded it as necessary to find some
means for offsetting it by new form
of taxation which would be imposed
upon the people best able to bear it
Objecting TeIegrams Pour In.
Washington, June 30.-A flood of tel
egrams, nearly equaling that which
swamped the wires during the anti
railroad pass fight. is pouring in upon
senators in opposition to the corpora

Most of the kilograms come from
persons interested in building and loan
associations, but practically every
character of corporate operations is
represented. Most of the senators re
ceived from IL to so kilograms yes

Il believe" said Cummins, that
the special income tax which has
been proposed by the finance COM
mittee not only controvenes the most
sacred principles of our government

deepest convictions that civilized
man holds with respect to taxation,
but it collides with the decision of
