text the declaration made yesterday

the corporation tax amendment to
the senate. Mr.. Cummins also paid
his respects to Mr.. Aldrich on ac-
count of his avowal. Mr. Cummins
took the floor as soon as a quorum
could be obtained, soon after 10
o'clock, and, with Il brief intermis-
sion for luncheon, an innovation in
the senate, he held it until 4;3O
o'clock in the afternoon.
Much of the time today was de-
voted to the consideration of the ma
tons finances, but considerable at
tention was also given to the gem
eral merits of tax on incomes,
which Mr.. Cummins defended as the
most rational because the most just
of all taxes. .@-v.
Estimating the total revenues un-
der the AldrichP Payne bill at $780,
100000 and those to be derived from
the internal revenue at s240,ooo,o00, he
predicted that at the end of the fls-
cal year, 1911, there would be a de-
felt of not less than $175,00DO00.

Decker had another narrow escape
from death at the Roman buffalo cor
raj Tuesday afternoon. The horse was
ripped and torn by the maddened
beasts horns and Decker sustained
severe though not serious decorations
and bruises. But for the fact that
Michel Pablo and Fred Decker saw
the precarious position Of the injured
man and drove the fighting buffalo
from his victims by firing revolver
bullets into his neck, both horse and
rider would undoubtedly have been
gored to death by the beast. With a
dozen bullets in his neck, the bull
sprang over his victims, charged
to the range. Another bull demolished
a cage after being loaded and sue
ceeded in making his escape.

manned to be loaded into the crates
for transportation to the loading cor

Charge Riders. &..
Goaded to madness by the continued
teasing of the riders, both beasts
turned upon the horsemen and charged.
The riders took refuge in flight and
for the next few minutes the race be-

With lowered heads, dilated nostrils
and rolling eyes, the beasts rushed in
Dllnd fury toward Ihe HoFseHeh.
Around and around the corral rode
the men in their race for life. Watch
ing their opportunity, the riders
wheeled suddenly and eluded the
buffalo, Which continued in their blind
rush until they brought up against
the side of the corral.
Decker, who is known as fearless
rider, renewed his efforts to drive the
beasts into the loading chute. One of
the animals charged Decker's horse.
The rider was unable to get his steed
out of the way in time and the bull
caught him full in the side. Horse
and rider went to the ground, the rider
being pinned under his mount With
his sharp, stubby horns the bull was
ripping the horse when Pablo and
Fred Decker, brother of the bulls
victim, drew their revolvers and began
firing bullets into the buffalo's neck.
The sting of the leaden missiles forced
the beast to jump over his victims
and burst out of the corral. He made
his escape to the outside range and
