LONDON POLICE ARREST
 MANY SUFFRAGEI1tS
Women RaIded Parliament Building In Effort to See Premier
 Asquith.

London, July 1.-The thirteenth vain attempt of the militant sun -agettes to obtain access to Premier Asquith by deputation resulted in ex- citing scenes in Parliament Square and the arrest of more than l0O woh- en. The plan of campaign followed the lines previously employed by the suffragettes. The "Woman's Parila- ment' assembled in Caxton Hall at eight o'clock in the evening and sent deputation. headed by Mrs Pank- hurst. to endeavor 10 see prime minister who had previously decided not to receive the depudation.
 Enormous crowds of onlookers as sembled in the vicinity of Parliament hours before the time set for the raid upon the house. around which several thousand police had taken up strategic positions. The first noteworthy in- cident was the arrest, after great deal of trouble. of buxom equestrian suffragette, who tried to penetrate the police cordon to take message to the premier Next appeared the dcputation under command of Mrs Pankhurst, and it was received by lhe crowd with wild cheers. Escort ed by the police, the deputation ar rived at the St. Stephens entrance to Parliament, where 1t was met by Chief Inspector Scantlebury, who handed Mrs. Pankhurst letter from the premier. regretting his inability to receive the deputation.
 Angrlly throwing the letter on the ground, Mrs Pankhurst exclaimed;
 T stand on my rights as the king s subject to enter the House of Com mons," and she endeavored to force an entrance.
 This, too, was unsuccessful, but for two hours, the whole district was in state of uproar, the police dispers- ing the crowds and arresting women by the wholesale. The windows of many of the government buildings were smashed with stones wrapped in paper. Altogether 112 women 1 were arrested.

Memphis, Tenn, July 2.-The Holla- day state wide prohibition bill passed by the recent general assembly went into effect at midnight last night. Tho bill makes it illegal to sell whisky or other alcoholic beverages within four miles of any school house in 'he state.
 The passing of the saloon according to advices received here was marked by scenes of unusual hilarity. All through the day and up to the very stroke of midnight saloons and greg shops were crowded with revelers. Ex- tra police precautions were taken here. ! patrolman being on duty in every city block wherein Is located saloon. This wss done at the request of the saloon men who feared that the crowds of revellers would overstep the bounds of good behavior in some Instances. in the main. the crowds were good na- tured.
 The new law is to be rigidiy enforc- cd throughout the state.
 There are only two points in the entire state where the law does not apply.
 Both these are located within I2 niles of Memphis near the Mississippi state line.
 In the preliminary smlrmish of . legal battle which, 1t Is declared. is destined for the highest court in the ,and for final adjudication, those who tavor the continuance of the manufac- ture and sale of alcoholic beverages In Tennessee. gained the advantage in the issuance of an order by Chancellor H.

 The order of the chancellor came in answer 10 a petition of the majority stockholders of the brewing company which seeks to permanently enjoln state and county officials from the en. forcement of the law because they de- clare 1t Ia unconstitutional and would cause an irrepairable loss in profits. President John w. Schorr. of the com pany is made party to the suit be cause of his expressed determination 70 discontinue the manufacture of beverages that contain in any part alcohol. The restraining order will he in efrect until July 8. when ar gum-nts as to the permanent injuno- ton will be heard.

Stories of Colorado and
 The Rocky Mountains SOME FACTS ABOUT THE WONDERFULLY RICH GRAND
 VALLEY.

In the great valley of the Grano River. en tbe Western Slope of Colo- rado thousands of fruit growers are getting rich off of Ave and ten-acre tracts of land. They work few meatns each year real hard, and ma jority of them spend their winters ID California-or go to Europe. Grand function Is the largest town In the val lev. being located near the confluence of the Grand and Gunnlson Rivers, only A short distance from the Utah iine. Residents of the valley leave home at 400 o'clock in the afternoon over the Colorado Midland and are in Denver for breakfast Palisade, twelve miles east of Grand Junction, is the secohu largest town in the valley.
 One by one the Eastern farmers are learning of the advantages offered them in Colorado, and once they are convinced do not hesitate long In sur rendering the big 160-acre farm back East for the little peach and pear and apple orchards of the Western Slope. For Instance, H. J. Box of Perry, Iowa, came to PalIsade short time ago and looked around. He saw and was con vinced. A few days ago he bought q six-year-old orchard of fifteen acres al $2,250 per acre. Six years ago the same land changed hands at $45 an acre. The fruit trees made the differ ence. Box's Iowa farm probably brought $l50 an acre, and his fifteen acres will pay double that amount an pually on each acre.
 A fruit country makes a good busi. ness town. Instead of drawing trade from big farms scattered over < wide territory of iG0 to 820 acres each. the

INCOME TAX PLAN UP
SENATE BEeINs CONSIDERATION OF THE BAILEY AND TAFT
 AMENDMENTS.
AN ADMISSION BY MIR. ALDRICH
Rhode Island Senator confesses That He Supported the Tax on Corpor- ations In Order to Defeat the ln- come Tax.

Washington, July 1.-With the tariff schedules disposed of and the door locked against the present in- trusion of amendments upon them' the senate has finally entered upon the consideration of the income and corporation tax questions as connect ed with the tariff bill.
 While the senate was more than four hours in formally coming to the question of taxation of incomes the subject received more or less individ- uaI attention while the tea provision was under consideration and it was during that stage of the proceeding that the most interesting occurrence of the day took place This was the announcement of the real attitude of Chairman Aldrich of the finance com mittee towards the corporation tax provision which he had introduced at the instance of the president.
 It had been for some time whisper ed around the senate corridors that the Rhode Island senator had become an advocate of tax on the earnings of corporations as the most effective means of defeating a general income l tax amendment to the pending Dill. Mr. Aldrich stated his own position, which was in accordance with the l rumors He spoke in response to a question from Senator Clay, and in words confessed his advocacy of the corporation tax as a means of defeat | ing i..e. income tax. He added an other reason which was that he thought for the next year or two there would be a deficit in the treasury re- ceipts which he was willing to have made good by the income which would result from the proposed corporation tax. With this service performed he | thought the law could and would be materially modified If not entirely re- pealed
 This frank declaration was seized upon by the Democrats as q comics sion that the corporation tax is a mere subterfuge to destroy the in- come tax, and they were not slow in playing up" the development MT. Aldrich denied. however, that he had intended to characterize the corpora tion tax as a subterfuge and defended 1t as legitimate means of raising revenue.
 Notwithstanding MT. Tilman's strenuous effort his tea amendment was lost by the decisive vote Of s against as opposed to IS for The provision had the support of only two Democrats, Mir. Bailey and Mir Till man.
 When the income tax question was formally taken mp Senator Lodge moved as substitute for Senator Bailey's straight income tax proposi- ton measure providing for counter vailing duties against countries i'm posing duties on articles exported to the United States Mir Aldrich i'm mediately moved the corporation tax provision as an amendment to the Lodge measure, thus giving the cor poration tax the position of third degree amendment beyond which nc further amendment can be offered fir

 Chance for the Poor Man
 Ten acres, the fruit men san

Central Ely, subsequently with
drawn. In return the water COM
pany agreed to put in a system in
the spring. City Attorney Zurich
was instructed to negotiate with the
company on the basis of granting
permission to put in a water system

The water company asked the city
to pay $40 a year for one year for
one standpipe for the purpose of
flushing. AS a compromise it was
suggested that a rental of SIS a year
be paid for every standpipe put up,
provided a contract for a number of

the Way For
Demands

The recent decision in the district
court by Judge Brown in the Full
mer & Ives case, wherein the court
held the plaintiffs, Fulmer & Ives,
to be entitled to large damages from
the management of the Robinson
Mining Co., promises to be brought
into much prominence in the district
in relation to other of the mining
companies in the Robinson class.
The promised prominence will be
due to the demand which has lately
come up for the smaller stocks and
the attendant desire on the part of
a good many holders to release por-
lions of their holdings in order to
acquire what they may consider to
be more seasonable investments or
to relieve need for the money in
volved in present holdings of GER
t~ificates.
The class of stockholders particu-
larly referred to are those who ac-
quired large blocks of some of the
more flambuoyantly ioated cheap
stocks in the days of the boom. These
blocks run from thousand share GER
tificates to ten thousand and higher.
During the time that market was
lacking for these stocks the holders
cared little about the fact that they
did not have certificates which they
could sell from in small lots. Now
they want such certificates, or in 9TH
er works they want their big block
certificates cut up into hundred
share lots, in order that they can
make ready disposal. A general de-
mand along this line is looming up
and in view of the district court de-
cision in the Fulmer & Ives case the
stockholders have firm ground upon
which to make their stand with the
officers of such companies as may
protest, for market reasons, person.
al and otherwise, against splitting
up certificates.

and was thresned out until the coun-

with the usual fate, reference to
City Attorney Zurich for further ne

the installation of a water system in
