TAFT'S MESSAGE
 TO CONGRESS
More Revenue Needed --Sug- gests That the Less Leg islation of Other Character Better Will Be.

Washington, March 16.-Presi- dent Taft's Message to Congress today is as follows:
 ''To the Senate and House of
 Representatives:
 "I have convened Congress in this extra session in order to enable it to give immediate con- sideration to a revision of the Dingley tariff act. Conditions affecting production, manufacture and business generally have so changed in the last 12 years as to require a readjustment and a revision of the import duties im- posed by that act. More than this, the present tariff act, with other sources of government revenue, does not furnish income enough to pay authorized expen- ditures. By July first next, the excess of expenses over receipts for the current fiscal year will equal S1OO,OOO, 900. The success full party in the late election was pledged to revision of tariff. The country and business community especially expect it. The pros- pect of a change in the rates of import duties always causes a suspension or halt in business because of uncertainty as to the changes to be made and the ef- feet. It, therefore, is of high importance that a new bill be agreed upon and passed with as much speed as possible. consist ent with its due and thorough consideration. For these reasons I deemed the present to be an extraordinary occasion, within the meaning of the Constitution. justifying and requiring the call ing of an extra session. In my inaugural address 1 stated in a summary way the principles upon which, in my judgement, revis- ion of the tariff should proceed and indicated at least one new source of revenue that might be properly resorted to in order to avoid future deficits. 1t is not necessary for me to repeat what 1 then said.
 venture to suggest that vital business interests of the country require that the attention of Con- gress at this cession be chiefly devoted to the consideration of a new tariff bill, and the less time to be given to other subjects of legislation in this session, the better for the country.
 William H. Taft"

LOSS AT BRINKLEY OVER S2,OOO,OOO

JurleS or between l5O ana TO wounded are being dressed each day by the corps of physicians and nurses in charge of Dr. E. D. Mcknight. A considerable number are dressed at the emergency hospital, at Main and Cypress streets, and the others are visited at their homes by the physicians. The city is divided into districts and each physician has been assigned a district. There are now six nurses, six white physicians and two negro physicians assisting in the work. All of the physicians from out of the city have returned home, the last of them going Saturday night. The negro physicians are proving valuable among the many negro injured.
 Church services were held this morning in the school audi torium, participated in by all the ministers. In the afternoon ser vices were held for the convicts working here. With the except ion of the Catholic church, every church building was demolished by the wind.
 Work of clearing up and pro- viding tempory shelters for the people until the town can be re- built continued today, although no general work was done. So far little actual repairing has been done anywhere except to roofs of warehouses and business houses, the people having been kept busy providing temporary sheltor for themselves and their goods and with cleaning out the debris.
 Martial law will probably be declared off tommorrow and the militia removed. A portion of the men were sent home Friday. The others will go tomorrow. The, convicts will be kept here until Wednesday.
 An estimate of $2, 25O, has been placed on the storm loss in Brinkley after a careful canvas by a number of business men who are in touch with local valu- es. The actual property loss is close to $2,O00. 900, they declare, and the loss to business and land values will run up into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
 The repair work on the light plant has brought out the whole story of the breaking of the steam pipes there on the night of the tornado. The wind in crushing in the building wrench ed a number of steam pipes in twain and the steam rushing from the boiler. which was carry ing a full load at the time, escaped with a noise that pene- trated that of the tornado.
 Tt sounded like 5000 engines exhausting at the same time. said one man telling of the incl dent. ''I could not conceive what it was at the time. It was an awful roaring, rushing sound, and seemed like another and greater tornado coming.
 Many victims of the tornado's great wrath did not hear the storm above the great ripping and crashing of their homes. Others do not remember of even hearing that much. One physi- clan, whose home was practically destroyed, while six monster trees were blown down in his yard, declares he heard nothing except a slight ripping of boards and did not know that his trees were down until after the storm. Another victim says he heard

TRANSFER SNEAD PRISONERS.
Mrs. Martin and Sister Taken from

Mrs. Caroline b. Martin and Mrs. Mary
Snead were taken from the Tombs prison
TO the Newark all yesterday TO await trial
for completely IN the murder suicide of
Mrs. Ocey W. NJ. Snead The two women
were placed In cells adjoining that OF their
sister, Miss Virginia o. Wardlaw, who was
arrested when the body of Mrs. Snead was
found in the bathtub of an unfurnished
cottage in East Orange a month ago.
Although Mrs. Martin had made plans
to oppose extradition to New Jersey. she
was induced to accompany the Newark
detectives when Franklin W. Fort her
lawyer explaineu that 1t was useless to
make the fight
Mrs. Martin insisted on reading the IN
dlctment charging her with completely in
the murder of her daughter. and it was
not until every paragraph In the extradi-
ton papers was explained to her by Mr..
O'Neill, the assistant district attorney
that she signed the affidavit that she was
the person named in the extradition papers.
Then she questioned the signature of Gov
ernor Hughes and charged that the New
Jersey authorities had stolen papers by
which they were able to arrange" a case
against her and her sisters
Mrs. Mary Snead made one objection 10
the extradition. The two women were
taken to Newark in an automobile. They
will not be arraigned until the jury trial.

CITY LOSES GAS SUIT.
Court Bales Mutual Company
Can Use the Streets.

An attempt by the city to get perHiah-
ent Injunction against the New io'n
Mutual Gas Light Company. when IL one
of the constituent companies of the Con
sol,dated Gas Company. restraining IL from
,,sipg the streets. came to an end in the
AppeIIate Division of the Supreme Court
lst Department, yesterday, "heh 'h"'
court decided that the Mutual had per-
petual charter, granted by the Legislature
IN 1866.
II was claimed by the city that new
franchise would have to- be obtained by
the company or suffer the alternative OF
abandoning its pipe lines and rights IL had
used without authority, and an accounting
was also asked from the Mutual to de-
termine what damages were due 10 the
citv for unauthorized use of It's streets.
In IT'S defence the company cited it's char-
ter empowering it to manufacture and sell
gas proyiding il did not dig and lay pipes
in the city streets without municipal au-
tbority. This authority, the Mutual
claimed, was obtained from the Board of
Aldermen in 1858, which gave permission
for the laying of pipes. subject to the same
restrictions as those applying to the other
companies.
According TO the decision of the court. the
municipal authorities may refuse here
after to permit the Mutual TO extend its
pipes and business beyond the territory al
ready occupied under the previous acts
of the Board of Aldermen. but the city
has no power to restrict the rights of the
company resulting from using the streets
at the time il acted under that authority.
