INCOME TAX QUESTION
Will Probably Go Over to Very End of
the Tariff Debate.

Washington. June 17.-When the income
tax question comes up in the Senate to-
morrow Senator Aldrich, chairman of the
finance committee. will again move that
action be deferred until after the sched-
ules in the tariff bill have been gone
through with This motion will carry with
it President Taft's program for the enact
ment of a law taxing net earnings of cor
rorations and the adoption of a resolu-
ton submitting the question of amend
ing the constitution so as to permit Con-
sress to levy and collect a tax on in

among the states. Aldrich will make the
statement that he believes consideration
of schedules may be finished by Monday
and he will suggest that the postpone
ment of the income tax and corporation
tax measures be until that time.
At a caucus of the Democratic senators
today it was decided that the minority
shall stand by it's previous declaration in
favor of the enactment of an income tax
law at the present session. The caucus

WAVE OF HYsTERIA
Closes Three Schools With Over 1000
Pupils in New York City.

New York. June 17.-One of those
sudden waves of hysteria, which from
time to time sweep the crowded tene-
ments of the East Side, temporarily
closed three public schools with an at
tendance of more than 1000 pupils to-
day, blocked all traffic on Grand street

streets that the school was on fire.
Before the crowd could get to it there
was n shout that a third school had

Then there was no holding the people.

Previous to the caucus there was dis

Democratic cloak room. 1t was suggested
that Senator Bailey might withdraw his
amendment until after Senator Aldrch
presents the amendment for a tax on the
earnings OF corporations. The purpose OF
that move would be to prevent the Presi-
dents plan from being offered as a sub
stitute for the income tax amendment.

Causes Early Morning
Blaze at Pulp Mill.
Amount Of Loss Cannot be
Learned Until Today.
Two Alarms Sounded..The Firemen
Make Quick Run Through Mud.

A hot box is believed to have been
responsible for fire which early this
morning put out of commission the
waterwheel which furnishes power to
operate the plant of the Kennebec
Light & Heat Co. and caused consider
able damage to the building of the
Cushnoc Paper Co., under which the
wheel is located. There is considerable
machinery i'll the building and it is
believed that this must have also suf-
fered some damage, although how
much could not be told at the time of
going to press, as the fire, although
thought to be under control, was not
wholly eXtinguished.
The alarm rung at about 12.45 A. M.
and 10 minutes later q second alarm
was rung. The showers which had fall
Ell through the night had made the
travelling heavy but despite this fact
the various companies of the fire de-
partment made good time in getting to
the fire. They found a stubborn blaze
raging in the west end of the pulp
mill and lost no time in laying several
lines of hose and had streams turned
on the fire. After a lively fight of three
flames under control, so far as they
could tell, although thick smoke inside
the building prevented a thorough in
vestigation being made.
The firemen working on the outside
of the building worked at times in a
heavy rain, severe showers falling at
frequent intervals. While the second
alarm was being sounded the fire alarm
went out of commission.
After the wheel went out of business
the street lights of the city were eXtin-
guished and the streets on both sides Of
the city were plunged in darkness This
condition of affairs was of short duration,
as two engines, the turbine and the West
inshouse, were at once started and in a
short time the power plant was running
as usual so far as the generation of pow
e. was concerned. The engines are fully
capable of generating all the power need
ed. as well as electricity for lighting pur-
poses, SO there will be no trouble on that
score.
All the loss, both to the Kennebec Light
& Heat Co. and to the Cushnoc Paper
Co., is fully covered by insurance.

SUCCESS is ASSURED
For the Arbuckle Men Who Are Rails
ing the Cruiser Yankee.

New Bedford. Mass, June 17.-Suc-
cess beyond their immediate expecta-
tions attended today the efforts of the
Arbuckle corps of compressed air work
ers to raise the United States cruiser
Yankee from her submerged position in
Buzzard bay, where she has lain since
Dec. 5 last, when she sank, following
her release from the raised rocks at the
western entrance to the bay.
The cruisers bow was raised entire
ly clear of water today and her decks
as far aft as the galley were above sea
level. The fact that the contractors
were not ready to float the cruiser led to
their releasing the air compressors and
the Yankee again sank. With the
pumping of the water from the after
part of the vessel. however, it is ex-
pected she will be raised with ease.
This will take about weeks time, it
is expected.

SIS BILL BLOCKS BROADWAY.
Cars Held Up While Crowd Watches
Greenback's Aerial Flight.

New York, June 17.--There is saving
among transit men that any old thing
will block trolley. traffic in New York. A
IS bill stalled the Broadway lines the
other afternoon. Incidcnty, it tied up
vehicle traffic and almost caused a riot.
When a New Yorker notices it is raining
makeup to hold out his hands. and even
risk his life on the rails to get his share.
That was the trouble in Broadway yester-
day.
Abraham Greenfield. a salesman en-
ployed by Brill Bros of No 90 Broadway.
and a good stiff breeze were the cause of
the trouble. Greenfield left the store at
o'clock to get a s. bill changed. He was
accompanied by a friend. When watch
ing a passing car, Greenfield forgot about
the greenback. and a gust of wind swept
1t from his hand. Before ne recovered
from his surprise the FLYER was soaring
toward the tops of the skyscrapcrs at
Broadway and Chambers street. The bill
had solved the problem of aerial naviSa-
cation.
Greenfield and his friend began running
up Broadway. ready to Sicze the money
when ii came down. That attracted the
attention Of others. and they. too. began
to chase the S.. Between 1000 and 1000
persons became interested. They filled
the street from curb to curb. and resisted
all the efforts of Patrolmen Barry, Burns
and Mcnamara to keep them moving:
Motormen rang their gongs and pleaded
they were behind time on their runs.
Teamsters Swore to the best of their abil-
ity. 1t all went unheeded. Public inter-
est centered in that IS bill. Its fate must
be decided before anything could be per-
mitted to move. Fifteen minutes after 1t
had started on its flight it fluttered down
in front of the Barclay building. and ulti-
mately landed before southbound car at
Resde street.
Greenfield seized one end of the bill and
a fierce-faced man seized the other end.
Greenfield said it was his money. The
other man, who did not understand the
Situation, insisted 1t was his. because he
fes,f1d it. They tugged away. and finally
the strain became so great the bill was
torn in two. The fierce-faced man dis
