her own personal use.
After an Investigation Of several DAYS mem

countess Yesterday and compelled her to pay
duty on the ten hats amounting 20 about $50
II was found that the countess Is largely in

the place Yesterday the countess still maintained
that the hats were for her own personal use. but
the inspectors learned that personal use In

the millinery esta blishment Rather than have
the hats taken to the Appraisers Stores the
countess paid the duty.

Then the fog broke and a deluge OF rain fell.

its face as though TO deride the visitors who
had come so far and the committeeman who
had worked so hard to make the Taft incoming
a success But the sun was quickly hustled be-

down to soak the pretty epauets of the gov

INCOME TAX DISCUSSED
IN SENATE
BoRAH QUOTES ROOSEVELT
T AND TAFT - CLAIMS CAR
NEGIE NOT PARTY.

WASHINGTON, May 3. During
Senator Borah's speech he referred
to Roosevelt as having shaped the
destinies of the Republican party and
that without his leadership his party
would have gone out of business, He
added that without adherence to these
principles, the party will go out Of
power. His statements regarding
Roosevelt we're in connection with the
ex-President's suggestions favoring a
graduated income tax. Borah also
quoted Taft's speech in which he
spoke in favor of an income tax.
Asked by Sutherland il he believed
that Taft believes in the constitu
tionality Of an income tax, Borah re-
piled that he only knew what Taft
had said to the American people
while a candidate for President, that
he favored an income tax which could
be drawn to be made constitutional
Referring to Carnegie's statement
that the income tax would encourage
perjury, Borah said, Carnegie did not
make the Republican party and | wish
I was just as sure that the Republi-
can party did not make Carnegie.
