The substitute in- corporates the Cochrane Power com- pany. the incorporators being J. Eu- gene Cochraue. Gordon A. Johnstone and Frank R. Kingman. The measure was originally drawn to make this "The Cochrane Manufacturing and Power company" but the word "manu- sacturing' nas been stricken out

EAST LYME FISH OIL
 AND eUANo BUSINESS.
Situation Seems in FaIr Way to Bo
 Cleared by Substitute Bill.
(speclal to The Bulletln.l )

Hartford, May 25.-The situation over the iish OH and gilanO business in East Lyme and the introduction Of a. Bridgeport garbage reduction business from Bridgeport into that town, which has been the subject Of several le0ls- iative hearings and Is causing no little anxiety among the people along that part Of the sound shore, seems in a fair way to be clarified by a bill which has been agreed to before the commit. tee on public health and safety by representatives of tho cottagers and the people of East Lyme and adjoin v ing towns and the Mantle Menhaden Fish oil ana Guano companv. which has its plant at Giants Neck.
 The substitute bin which has been agreed upon limits the fish oil and guano company to the territory occu- pied by it on Jan 1st Of this year and protects it In the continuance Of ts business there only, under the direction of the local health authorities and other restrictions as to sanitation and health imposed by the state law. It must not attempt Co extend i'm Eart Lyme or to acquire property for Che conduct of It's business in Old Lyme or Waterford, those three towns hav- ing been those mentioned in the Cad bois bill. for which it Is a substitute. There are about five acres in the plot oWneu anu paINlailN occupied by the company and it is desired by the peo- pie thereabouts that it have no chance to acquire more land and then sell out to the Bridgeport By-Produots com pany, which has purchased land in East Lyme and is trying to get the right to come in. refused by the people of the town. from the legislature.
 The bill absolutely shuts out from these three towns this Bridgeport gar bage reduction concern and makes of no account the fact that ft has pur- chased land in East Lyme. after being refused the right to come in in a town meeting. The town of New London has since made application to be in- cluded In the prohibited territory and it is quite likely that this will be done. At the time this matter was discussed before the committee there were pres- ent no representatives of the Bridge port By-Products company and noth- ing is known Of what attitude that concern may adopt regarding the sub stitute bill It will doubtless be hos tile to it.
 In this substitute Is also incorporated the bill by which it was sought to ob- tain the right Co establish sanitary districts along the sound shore Such Q thing will be allowed but only In Middlesex county. nor fin an of that

washington, May 25.-Had it not been for the attitude of the progressive republicans who favor the adoption of an income tax amendment to the tariff bill. it is probable that Senator Bailey might have reached an agreement to- day with members of the finance com mittee for a vote on this amendment on June 10.
 insurgents Offended.
 Offense was taken by some of the so-called insurgent republicans because of the notice served by the Texas sen ator yesterday that no general agree ments could be obtained on any phase of the tariff bill so long as Senator Aldrich refused permission for the fixing of a time for vote on Senator Bailey's income tax amendment.
 Informal Conferences.
 IL was made clear at informal con- ferences today that the republicans who are supporting the Cummins' amendment desire the continuance of the coalition with the democrats, but that they did not want it at the ex- pense of surrendering the control of the income tax fight to the democrats.

 Views of Senator Cummins.
 Senator Cummins said tonight that he would offer his income tax amend ment just as soon as consideration of schedules had been concluded. He will revise his amendment to meet the wishes of a number Of republicans. It will provide for a flat rate of per cent. on incomes, including corpora tons. A drawback will be allowed to individual stockholders of corporations equal to the sum paid on their stock by the corporation itself, when 1t can be shown by the individual that the total of his income is less than $5,O0O a year. The Bailey amendment pro- vides for a tax of per cent. MT. Cummins said that if the Bailey amendment is presented first that he will vote for it, although he does not believe that it would prove as satisfac. tory as his own He estimated that his amendment will produce about s40,0O0, ,0O0 a year in revenues.
 Members of the finance committtee are confident that they have sufficient votes to refer either the Cummins or the Bailey amendment, or both, to the judiciary committee.
