BORAH ON INCOME TAX
One of the Reasons the Idaho
Senator Urged m it's Favor
isThat Mr.. Roosevelt Said
That the Country Ought to
Have 1t.

Washington, May 3.-An extended
defense of the duty on lumber as
provided in the Dingley bill was
made in the senate today by Mr.
Piles of Washington. He was fol-
lowed by Borah, who discussed the
income tax, not only declaring it was
Just, but in view of the divided opinion
in the supreme court of the United
States, insisting it was the duty of
congress again to submit the ques-
ton of constitutionality of the tax to
the court.
During his speech, Mr.. Borah re-
ferred TO President Roosevelt as hav-
ing shaped the destinities of the re-
publican party and said that without
his leadership his party would have
gone out of business" He added
that without continued adherence to
these principles, the party will go out
of power"
This statement was in connection
with discussion of Roosevelt's sug-
gestion favoring a graduated inheri-
tance and graduated income tax.
Does the senator believe Mr..
sutherland dSheut lndl fTeSlueHI
Taft believed in the constitutionality
of the income LAWN other words,
that he believed that the law pro-
nounced unconstitutional by the su-
preme court was in fact constitution
al?"
Il only know what he said to the
American people when he was a can
didate for president" responded the
Idaho senator, that he favored an
income tax which could be drawn to
be made constitutional. l am not
willing to believe that the president
believed in drawing an income tax
law applicable to men toiling in the
professions and then in exempting
the vast accumulated wealth of this
nation from taxation"
Referring to Carnegie's statement
that an income tax would encourage
perjury, Borah said: Mr.. Carnegie
did not make the republican party,
and 1 wish l were just as sure that
the republican party did not make
Carnegie"

THEY PUT TOO MUCH
UNDER EARTHQUAKE CLAUSE
Decision Adverse to Insurance Com
pany in Frisco Fire Case.

San Francisco, MAY 3.-In an ,opin-
ion handed down by the United States
circuit court of appeals today, the ef-
fort of certain insurance companies to
bring losses sustained by fire during
the disaster in this city in 1906 un-
der the earthquake clauses of the poll
cies, because the shock had broken
water mains and thus prevented the
eXtinguishing of the fires, was reject
ed and characterized as being as trivial
as it would have been to seek the
same action on appeals because the
men and horses of the fire department
had been injured by the earthquake.
The companies involved were the
Commercial Union Assurance COM
pany, the Alliance Assurance company
and the Norwich Union Fire Insurance
society The Pacific Union Club was
the policy holder in each case.

evident that the impaneling of the jury
will not be a lengthy process.
Assistant District Attorney William
H. Cook asked that Brown be ordered
in custody at the county Jail during
the trial. Judge Mahon consented and
refused the offer of Attorney Bert
Schlesinger, of the defense, to provide
bail up to $4,000. Judge Mahan stated
that he had made it a rule to comply
with the request of the district attOr-
ney in matters of this kind. Cook
later modified his request and Brown
was permitted to live at a hotel under
charge of deputy sheriff, at the de-
fendant's expense.

A GOOD WITNESS
FOR CAPTAIN HAIHs
HE ASSAULTS THE THEORY OF
FERMENTATION
Coiored Servants of the Hains House
hold Repeat Their Story.

Flushing, May 3.-With thirteen Of
the defense's witnesses disposed of,
the Hains trial started on its third
week today Perhaps the most i'm
portant testimony on behalf of the
defendant, Captain Hains came just
before adjournment, when Lee Bugg,
real estate dealer, and a member of
the Bayside Yacht club testified that
he had discussed the merits of GER
tain properly adjo -'ing the yacht club
with Thornton Hains, the defendant S
brother, and at one time made an ap-
pointment with Thornton Hains to
meet him at the Yacht club.
Bugg's testimony tends to show a
lack of generalization on the part of
the defendant and to corroborate that
of Thornton Hams, who testified that
he and the captain went to the club
the day Annis was killed, to find
Bugg or his partner, Jesperson, and
inspect the Bayside property.
Emma Lavello, Hams cook, and
Minnie Bohme and Lille Sawyer,
negro maids employed by Mrs.
Claudia Hams, caused much amuse-
iHeHt ny thef ChdidStells llsIiC HldllHeI
of telling their stories of the alleged
"antics" of Billy Annis and Claudia
Hains at the Hams home during the
captains absence.
Lille Sawyer, a colored servant in
tn Hams household, at Fort Hamil-
ton, testified that she told Captain
Hams all about the "goings on" of
Mrs. Hains and Annis while the cap
tain was away. She said she told
the captain that Mrs. Hains was Oft
ten out all night and that she and
Annis would come to the house in
toxicated. The witness showed a bel
ligerent spirit under cross examina-
ton and ruffled the dignity of the
court by the manner in which she
snapped out her answers.

The war office is not likely to con-
clude arrangements with the inventors

ranged with a builder here for the con-
struction of machines and have ap-

tected and they expect to sell priv
ately, even if the government does not

COMMODITIES CLAUSE VALID
But a United States Supreme
Court Interpretation Limits
Scope ofthe Commission SO
as not Seriously to Affect
the Roads.
COMMODITIES CLAUSE VALID

Washington, May 3.-That the COM
modities clause of the interstate COM
merce act Of 1906, known as the Hep
burn rate law, is constitutional, was
in effect declared today by the su-
preme court of the United States.
The decision was announced by JUS
tice White. The court reversed and
remanded the decision of L. s. Cir
cult court, but the only directions
were to enforce and apply the sta
tute as construed.
Briefly summarized the decision
Of the supreme court in the commo-
dities clause cases holds the law to
be constitutional, but does not con-
cede the contentious of the govern
ment as to its scope. An especial eX-
ception was as to the ownership of
stock in d different corporation which
it was held did not constitute such
ownership as would prohibit trans
portation under the terms of the law.
1t was held that the ownership of
commodities also applied to the time
of transportation. If before trans
porting it the railroad has in good
faith parted with d commodity it
may carry it.
The principal point of the decision
was in relation TO a railroad holding
the stock of subordinate companies
and on that important point the find
ing was favorable to the roads. JUS
tice Harlan dissented on the stock
feature, but otherwise the decision
was unanimous
Analysed, Justice Whites decision
is that congress did not transcend its
constitutional authority in enacting
the commodities provision, but it was
held that the governments construc-
ton of the provision had been en-
tirely too comprehensive. AS con-
strued by the court, the sole object
Of the clause is to prevent carriers
being associated in interest with the
commodities transported at the time
of transportation.
Summed up, the act only compels
the companies to disassociate them
selves from the products they carry
and the governments contention that
the law applies to the ownership of
stock and prohibits the transportation
of commodities simply because they
have been produced by railroad COM
pany is untenable. The effect of
the decision is favorable to the rail-
roads and the government lost on
practically all points except in the
sustaining of the principle involved.
