.POSTPONEDVOTE
ON INCOME TAX.
At Senator AIdrich's Suggestion
June 10 Was Named.
COME AFTER TARIFF SCHEDULES
Rhode island Senator Assured Senate
That Nothing Should Get In
the Way Of tho Tariff
Bill,

Washington, May 2S.-Mr. Aldricl
declined to entertain any proposition
Tor an arrangement to vote In an!
particular way upon the income tal
amendment. He agreed to q sugges
tion by Mr.. Cummins that the income
tax amendments should be disposed o.
Immediately upon the disposition o.
the tarifi schedules. He further ex
planned that he had no disposition to
prevent consideration Of such amend
ments.
Mr.. Bailey, fearing that under this
argument he could not get a direct
vote on his amendment declined to &C.
cept 1t.
An extended discussion followed con-
corning just what the parliamentary
status Of these amendments would be.
Mr.. Aldrich suggested. that there
might be some senator's who would
honestly favor an income tax" and
yet II the tariff bill provided sufficient
revenue might not be willing to vote
for additional revenue that was not
needed.
Mr.. Cummins said that the income
tax proposition probably could be TAX
en- up when the tariff schedules were
disposed Of, in accordance with Mr..
Aldrich's proposition, where upon Mr..
Bailey remarked that III the senator
from Iowa purposes making an al.
lance on the income tax vote with the
senator from Rhode Island, he will
find himself wiser afterwards than he
was before"
II have not voted with the senator
from Rhode Island as often as has the
senator from Texas" sharply retorted
Mr.. Cummins. "The senator from
Rhode Island has been right twice dur.
Ing this session." responded Mr..
Bailey, "and l have voted with him |
twice. The senator from Iowa can
not make as good showing"
IF you postpone the matter in
obedience to the wishes Of the sena-
tor from Rhode Island" asserted Mr..
Bailey, "you will not get vote, be-
cause he will stay here until the dog |
days before taking a vote If he is
not sure Of the result"
Senator Borah appealed to the SEN
ate for a direct vote on the income
tax amendment.
Mr.. Aldrich replied that the first
thing TO do was to complete the sched-
ules Of the measure and see how much
revenue was available.
! intend so far as 1t may be In my
power to proceed to the consideration
Of this bill Until the senator from
Texas Is placed In charge Of this bill
and until 1t Is taken from my charge
intend to press 1t for consideration
and do not intend to be severed from
Ehst duty"
A motion offered by Mr.. Aldrich to
postpone consideration Of the income
tax until June 10 was adopted by a
Vote Of so to SO. Republicans voting
against postponement were Senators
RoEah. BFistow. Clalp, Cummins. DOLL,
rer ana 7LaFollette. Senator McEnery
was the only Democrat who voted with
he Republicans for postponement.

MORE SCHEDULES
ARE ADOPTED
The Finance Committee Was Sus-
tanned all the Time.
COMPLETE SUGAR AND TOBACCO
Senator Stone Asserted the COMMITTEES
Had Suppressed Information
Regarding Wages In
Germany.


Washington. May Ex-senator AID
rich succeeded in getting action by til,
senate on the remainder Of the suga
schedule with the understanding tina
the paragraph fixing a duty on raw
and refined sugar should be again plac
ed before the senate II Senator Clay'I
health should so improve as to permit
Of his taking advantage Of an op
Dortunity at later date, to move an
amendment cutting the figures in two
The tobacco schedule was also com
pleted. No changes wera made In
the finance committee rates on either
schedule. The sugar, the tobacco and
agricultural schedules divided the at.
tention Of the senate, with incidental
remarks on the side by Senator Bacon
and general tariff speech by Senator
Stone.
"Mr. Bryan" Mr.. Stone said, was
right when he said that even II Mr..
Taft desired a reduction of tariff
rates he would be powerless II elected
to effect his purpose"
Saying he had wage scale relat-
ing to the razor industry In Germany
which was twice as high as the Amer
lean wage scale, according to an of.
fetal statement furnished by the Ger
man government and now in the state
department, Mr.. Stone said:
II assert that this report Of the
German government was in the hands
of the finance committee long before
this question of relative wages paid
here and In Germany was raised here.
They knew about 1t. Yet when we
asked about these wages the senator
from Utah, Mr.. Smoot, said he had
affldavits from workmen who had been
brought from Germany that the Ger
man wages were only one-third those
Of the American wage"
When the senate sent to the depart
ment for this information 1t was al.
ready in the hands Of the finance com.
mittee, Mr.. Stone declared.
Senators Gore, Bristow and Clay
criticised the provision for a duty on
raw and refined sugar and Mr.. Clay
his allegation Of fraudulent
in the interest Of the
sugar trust. Mr.. Bristow declared
hat the trust has been benefited by
he defeat Of his amendments and Mr..
lore asserted that by the adoption Of
he finance committees provision,
which was the same as that passed
" the house, only five cents on the
90 pounds, Of sugar would be saved.
Senator Bradley made a long speech
,arly in the day in advocacy Of the
emoval Of the internal revenue tax
4 six cents pound on tabocco in
the hand" He asserted such &C
ion to be essential to the welfare Of
obacco growers throughout the coun-
~ and traced the raids of. nightrid-
rs in Kentucky and Tennessee to
that he declared to be the unjust
curse Of the tobacco trust in dealing
nth the tobacco producers.

HIGH GRADE or
AMERICAN SUGAR
FOUR SENATORS MADE SPEECHES
The Pro0resslves Said to be Friends
Of Beet Sugar Industry But
Opposed TO Greed Of
the Trust.

/ Washington, May 27-FOr more tina
seven hours the senate was engaged 4
the discussion of sugar as that sui
feet IL involved In the pending tarii
bill Beginning with an effort by Sen
ator McEnery, the Louisiana Demo
cratic protectionist, there were fou
set speeches. Three OF these were II
support Of the sugar schedule as re
ported from the committee on financ,
while the fourth was a plea for ma
terlal reductions.
Completing the speech which he be
gan the day before, Senator McEnery
made an earnest plea for tariff protec
ton, not only because of the necessity
for such a policy In the interest of the
revenue but because as, he declared,
such a course would render the Uni
ted States independent of other coun-
tries. He asserted that there had been
a change of sentiment in the South on
the subject Of protection.
Senator Burrows Of Michigan and
Senator Smoot of Utah, both Of them
members Of the finance committee. al.
SO spoke in support Of the committees
action. Mr. Smoot presented a care.
fully prepared analysis Of the situation
and Mr.. Burrows appealed more
particularly to popular sentiment. The
Michigan senator charged the sugar
trust with an attempt to establish a
reputation for fair dealing by pretend
ing to be in alliance with the beet
sugar interests, which he said was not
the case. He asserted a reduction Of
duties would destroy the beet industry
and thus render it necessary to send
500 100000 a year out Of the country
for sugar.
Senator Bristow of Kansas took the
floor at the conclusion Of Senator Nc
Enery's remarks and begun a long
speech which he illustrated by an ex-
hibit of sugar samples. He argued
in favor of striking out the existing
law and out of the pending bill the

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies Deafness is caused by an infamed coalition of the mucous lin- ing of the Eustachan Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have rumb- ling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma- ton can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hsgring will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in- famed condition of the mucous sur faces.

 Why hs Judas psid.

A physician, says a medical journal that vouches for the truth of the story, was once summoned in haste to attend the child of family tlrat lived in two rooms ili the heart of a large American city-not New York. The child had been seized suddenly and seriously and just at election time. The mother was in despair, and when the doubt full prognosis was given she broke into waiIing and violent self condem- nation for some horrible sin of the family to which she said the child s illness was due-a direct punishment for their crime. She would go and curse the magistrate for 1t all, her husband should resign from "the force" and such evil ways should be renounced forever
 Curious 10 know how the magistrate could be beld responsible for the chtld's Illness. the doctor finally se- cured the confession that the crime of the poor. conscience stricken woman consisted in allowing the names of many fraudulent voters to be regis tered as residing in her house. ln swearing to the He. etc. The magis- trate also had demanded this of all the neigbbors in return for indeecrib- able political favors.
