MISTAKE in TAFrs MESSAGE.
He Said the income Tax Law OF 1904
Was Stili on the statute Books.


WASHINGTON, June l7.-In the special
message which he sent to the Senate
yesterday advocating the imposition Of
a corporation tax and the passage OF q
Joint resolution to enable the States to
amend the Constitution 80 that tax on
individual incomes could be imposed.
President Taft referred to the effort to
enact income tax legislation at once as
putting on the statute books asiaw al
ready there and never repealed The
Presidents reference to the law already
on the statute book and never repealed
applied to the income tax law Of 1894
which went into effect in 1895 but was
declared unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court.
1t was pointed out to-day that the
President had made an error in this state
ment Even II the decision Of the Su-
preme Court did not repeal the income
tax law or take it Off the statute books.
the law expired by time limitation in 1900
1t was enacted for period Of five years
only, and had the Supreme Court sus-
tanned it the measure would have become
inopera tive after the year 1900.
Some Of those who detected MIR. Tafts
mistake were disposed to believe that they
had good joke on the President and six
other distinguished lawyers to whom his
message was reld before It was trans
mitted to the Senate. These six are
Secretary OF State Knox, who was Attor-
ney-General Of the United States under
Mckinley and Roosevelt; Secretary oi
War Dickinson. who was president OF the
American Bar Association; Attorney
General Wickersham. Secretary OF the
Interior Baliinger, who had big law
practice in Seattle: Secretary Of Commerce
Nagel, who was noted lawyer in ST,
Louis. and Senator Root. whose legal
ability is well known.
Apparently neither Mr.. Taft nor any Of
those distin guished lawyers had ex-
amined the income tax law Of 1904 or re-
membered that it was enacted for five
years. only and in those circumstances
could not have remained on the statute
book after the year 1900.

WON'T STRIKE IN HAWAII.
Japanese Union. Representing 0,OOO Men
Decides 10 Make Demands First.

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE SCS.
HONOLULU. June 1.-THE convention OF
the ia panese Union Of Hawaii. which has
been in session for several days, adjourned
to-day. after deciding not to strike in
sympathy with the plantation laborers
OF Oahu.
The delegates represented. more than
1900 Japanese and il they had declared
for a general strike the situation would
have become most serious. 1t was
decided to make demands on employers
for increased pay and improved conditions
These representations will be made to
the Planters Association without a threat
to strike. The Japanese ask 81 for a
day OF ten hours. Failure to obtain
these concessions is likely to result In a
strike.
The Grand Jury returned to-day in
dictments against Negoro and Ave other
Japanese radical leaders for conspiracy
to commit murder and incite others to
crime Sugawara. another leader. was
indicted for assault. 1t was charged that
he used violence in collecting funds to
aid the strikers.
Thirteen Japanese strikers on the
waipahu plantation were indicted for as
saulting policemen and rioting.
The Court has dismissed the replevin
suit brought by the proprietors Of the
Jyi to recover papers seized by the Sheriff.

These doubts nrose through the fact that

RAPs DEMOCRATIC SENATORS.
John r. Lamb Of Indiana Says They Are
Moving Toward Party Dissolution.

Moving Toward Party Dissolution.
INDIANAPOLIS, June I7.-John E. Lamb,
former Congressman from Indiana and
tons at the Denver convention. thinks
the Democratic Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress are making a
sham OF the national party platform and
taking a long step toward the dissolution
Of the party. Speaking OF the Senators
who have gone back on the platform he
said to-day:
Having served on the committee on
resolutions in the Democratic national
convention at Denver last year with
Senator Simmons OF North Carolina.
Senator Daniel OF Virginia and Sena tor
Newlands OF Nevada, was not surprised
to see them lining up on this great ques-
ton with Republicans in the Senate. as
they had led the fight in the committee
on resolutions against the tariff reform
planks which We adopted.
@The contest In the committee on the
question Of placing articles which enter
into competition with trust controlled
products On the free list was warmly
contested and was only carried in the
committee by few votes after a strenu-
GUS fight but the plank in the Demo-
cratic platform demanding the immediate
repeal Of the tariff on wood pulp. print
paper, lumber. timber and logs, and that
these articles be placed upon the free list,
was carried by a vote practically unani.
NOUS. and this was afterward ratified
by more than one thousand delegates In
convention assembled without a dissent
ing vote. There Is consequently no ex-
cuse for any man who pretends to be q
Democrat TO cast his vote against free
wood pulp, print paper, lumber. timber
and LOGS, all OF which articles are OF prime
necessity In every day life

Special Cable Dispatches to THE SUN.
LONDON, June IA Russian torpedo
boat belonging to the squadron protecting
the Car and his family in the Gulf OF
Finland fired this morning upon the
British cargo steamship Woodburne,
wounding a fireman and greatly damaging
the ship.
The Incident. which is reported from
many quarters, seems to have been the
result OF overanxiety on the part OF the
commander OF the torpedo boat lest the
safety Of the imperial family be endan-
gered, and it repeated in miniature the
panic firing by some Of Admiral Rojest-
vensky's warshipA on trawlers in the
North Sea when the Russian feet was
bound for Japan.
Whitfield "a Co. Of Newcastle-on-
Tyne, the owners OF the Woodburne. re-
ceived telegram from Capt. Robertson,
the master Of the steamship. dated
Fredrikshamm. Finland. stating that
as the steamship was leaving Fredrikf-
hamm the torpedo boat fred upon her.
blowing away the Woodburne's deck and
steam pipes and making a hole through
tho bulwarks and stokehold casing.
Fireman Boyne was shot in the leg.
The Woodburne returned to Fredriks-
hamm for repairs and Boyne was sent to
the viborg hospital.
An account from viborg says that
seven shells were fred. five Of which
struck the Woodburne. Another sccount
says that a preliminary blank shot was
followed by two shells few seconds later.
A despatch from Helsingfors says that
the Woodburnc. which was laden with
wood. had pilot aboard and was accom-
panied by a torpedo boat.
As yet no official report Of the incident
has reached the British Government. 1t
is taken calmly by the London newspapers
and it is ascribed to an excess Of zeal by
an individual officer.
It is known that the strictest orders
were issued to the escorting feet at Reval
whatever. within certain distance OF the
imperial yacht. 1t is declared that in
addition to these precautions the STANDARD
and Hohenzollern are equipped with sub
marine bells 80 as to be warned automati-
cally OF the approach OF any vessel.
