that the trial Of Ella Gingles was re-
sumed today. Mrs. Sophia Linderman,
Miss Gingles' landlady, gave testimony
concerning various phases of the case,
which in many Instances corroborated
Miss Gingles' story as told on the wit

Mrs. Linderman testified to the or
iginal visit of Miss Barrette and an
other woman to her home on Jan. f.
They arrived an hour before Miss
Gingles came home, and without be-
ing invited proceeded to the latter's
room where they overhauled her cloth

covering it with dirt and candle
grease. Miss Gingles arrived home at

that she had been treated terribly"
Miss Gingles, while on the witness
stand, testified that after leaving her
room she was taken to the Wellington
hotel in connection with the charge of
the theft of some lace against her. but
discovered. when too late, the visit had
far more sinister import She told
a story of the degenerate orgy and of
being made the victim of a masked
man.
Mrs. Linderman's attention was then
directed to the bathroom incident of
Feb. 16, and in describing Miss
Gingles' condition on the day following.
when she had visited her, said:
Miss Gingles was a raving maniac.
She continually screamed: Don't kill
me. Miss Barrette; won't drink any
more OF your wine. You told me he

Miss Gingles' story of this occur

the man, locking the door. The man

SENATE AGREES TO PASSAGE OF
BILL BEFORE ADJOURN.
MENT FOR DAY.
CORPORATION TAX
UNDER CONSIDERATION
Efforts to Alter Committees Tobacco
Schedule Practically Abandoned
Daniel Expresses Confidence in
Prssident Taft and His Corporation
Tax Plan.

washington, July 8.-When the sem
ate convened today Aldrich offered a
motion to amend the order of pro-
cedure adopted last evening by striking
out the provision for automatic ad-
5ournment at this evening. The mo-
objection.
There was a general understanding
among both republicans and democrats
that the final vote on the tariff bill
should be taken before adjournment to-
day. There was no effort to reach an
understanding as to the hour, but the
general feeling was that whether early
or late, the measure should be disposed
of before leaving the senate chamber.
1t has been supposed that much time
would be consumed in the discussion of
the tobacco tax, but even before that
atem was reached, it had been arranged
that there would be comparatively
little effort to alter the finance COM
mittee's schedule.
The uncompleted corporation tax
provision was the first subject of the
days consideration. Daniel resumed
his speech, begun yesterday. His re-
marks were in defense of his amend
nent levying tax of a quarter of 1
per cent on the gross receipts of cor
more than 100000.

Corporation Tax Agreed To.
All amendments. including Daniels,
to the corporation tax amendment were
laid on the table at the instance of
Aldrich and the corporation tax pro-
vision as perfected by the finance COM
mittee was agreed to.
The tobacco tax amendment was laid
before the senate after disposal of the
OlQer measures. Mat1n protested
against it as carrying a large increase
dn taxation on the tobacco industry. 1t
was, he said, for increase of SO per
cent Of the tax on manufactured to-
bacco. and he predicted it would bring
into the treasury $1O,o00,ooo additional
revenue. Manufacturers and dealers"
he said. will not pay this tax. They
will reimburse themselves out of the
pockets of the people"
The senate accepted Bradley's
amendment permitting tobacco growers
to sell their products without the pay
ment Of a tax.
May Stop Night Riders.
The measure is practically the same
as that which passed the house. 1t
removes the tax of cents a pound on
the tobacco grower as the vender, and
thus removes what is supposed to
cause the night rider attacks in Ken
lucky and Tennessee. There is little
doubt that the provision will remain
in the bill, The tobacco tax schedule
as a whole was adopted by the SEN
ate.
