COMMITTEE ON FINANCE
AGREES ON TARIFF FOR
TEA AND COFFEE FRIENDS

WASHINGTON, april T.-Numerous
conferences were held between Repun-
lican members of the senate today TO
further consider the substitute for the
maximum and minimum feature of the
Payne bill, which will be submitted to
the senate from the committee on
finance.
The provision has been completed ex-
cent articles on the free list that are
to be taxed specifically when imported
from countries that fail to give to the
United States the advantage of their
best rates.
Experimentally the committee has
fixed a tax of 10 cents pound on cor
fee and 10 cents pound on tea In
order to illustrate the operation of such
a provision. These taxes could not go
into effect, except as applied to coun-
tries that Disseminated against the
United States, and then only upon
proclamation by the president
The specific taxes are TO be named
solely for trading purposes In cam
paigns to extend the markets in all
parts of the world to American pro-
ducts.
1t was practically decided today that
the amendment providing for the ap-
plication of the rates noted in the bill
would not be presented to the senate
until all the other administrative fea-
lures have been worked out.

MURIEL WHITE
TO WE'D COUNT
DAUGHTER OF AMBASSADOR
0vERCOMES DIFFICULTIES
Happy Couple Will Have Both Civil
and Church Ceremonies Tomorrow
to Overcome Religious
Differences
Especial to The Herald. ]

PARIS, April 27.-All Paris is await
ing with expectancy the marriage to-
morrow of Miss Muriel White, daugh-
ter of American Ambassador White,
and Count Herman Scherr-Thoss
The civil ceremony, which alone con-
stitutes a legal marriage in France,
will be performed by the mayor OF the
eighth reimbursement, in which Am
bassador White resides.
Thursday the religious marriage will
be celebrated In st. Joseph's church, in
Avenue Hoche. one of the most ex-
elusive Catholic. churches in Paris.
Although the marriage is of interna-
tional prominence, the service will be
simple and attended only by members
of the immediate families.
The arrangements for the nuptials
had been delayed by the differences
in the religious beliefs of the contract
ing parties, but this point was adjudi-
Gated by having both the. civil and
church service. Ambassador White
will not be present at the church serv-
ice. The match was love affair, pure
and simple, and although for time
the difference of religions threatened a
disruption among the families, the
young couple eventually found a happy
solution and tomorrow's ceremony will
be the elimination of a pretty ro-
nance that has been watched with in
terest in France and the United States.

SPECIAL GRAND JURY
TO PROBE LYNCHING
Over 200 Witnesses Summoned in Ef.
fort to lndct Mob Leaders in
Ada outrage-Another
Lynching Talked

ADA, OKLA, April 27.--A special
grand jury ordered by Governor Has
kell to investigate the lynching here
or April 10 of James Miller, Jesse
West, Joseph Allen and w. T. Burrell,
the cattle men, for the murder of A.
A. Bobbitt, a United States deputy
marshal, convened here today. Attor-
ney General West will conduct the
examination of witnesses. More than
200 witnesses have been summoned and
every effort will be made, it is said,
to secure indictments against the
leaders of the mob at least.
During the past twenty-four hours
there has been talk of another lynch
ing. This talk has centered around
the fact that Oscar Peller and Ed
ward and David johnson, all three of
whom were taken to Tecumseh Jail for
safe keeping several days ago, have
been returned to Ada. Peller, who is
young boy, is being held as an al
legged accessory to the murder of Bob
bitt and it was his confession that is
believed to have been the primary
cause of the lynching of the quartet
of cattle men.
The Johnson brothers are charged
with the brutal murder of I. Fl. Put
nam Allen last January, and up to
this time there has been no trial of
their case

SAN PEDRO PUT
ON RECORD FOR
OUTER t1ARBOR
TWO CONSOLIDATION BODIES
IN FIRST MEETING
USE OF 14e ACRES SUBMERGED
LAND NECESSARY
Stoddard Jess Makes Answering Let.
ter from San Pedro Committee
and Satisfactory Resolution
10 Adopted

San Pedro's stand as outlined by Its
consolidation committee to the Los An
Eeles consolidation committee last night:
No Immediate Improvement at the har-
Dor Is possible except by use Of 146 acres
Of submerged land between the shore
line and the breakwater trestle. which
can make 100 acres of land with seven
slips suitable for the largest ships en-
gagged in international commerce.
This may be reached In several ways.
by tunnel or by widening streets, and
slips affording slack water at all times
for ships of thlrty-five feet draught In
one years time.
The San Pedro board Of trustees wishes
to see this tract diverted to the govern
ment for n naval station, and the San
Pedro consolidation committee, having
given up the last vestige OF hope other
than obstruction from the board of trus-
tees believes the Los Angeles council
and chamber of commerce should see
that the government refuses to proffer.
When the legislative committee wanted
to arrange for state control of San Pedro
harbor 1t was refused with the under
standing that Los Angeles had sufficient
credit TO make the improvements. San
Pedro has all along understood that this
applied to the outer harbor and believes
Los Angeles should redeem the pledge
then made.
The San Pedro consolidation commit
tee desires TO act Jointly with the Los
Angeles committee at ali hearings of
harbor interests, and does not want to
be called In merely as. experts to testify
before jury

NEEDLES, Cal, April 27.-The Col
orado river has risen rapidly the past
week and is near the high water mark.
1t has overfiowed it's banks on the CAL
ifornia side. Considerable apprehension

until now the situation is alarming. and
an appeal has been made to the gov
ernment.
plans are perfected to construct a

dian lands on the Arizona shore, the
cost being more than $250,OOO, but such
an undertaking makes the destruction
of Needles all the more certain.

RELIGION, BACKED BY
WIFE'S DESIRES, LEADS
TO PATTEN'S QUITTING

NEW YORK, April 27.-Fear that his
hold on the wheat market would be
broken did not induce James A. Patten
to get out Of the market, nor was 1t
that he was satisfied with his profits.
He closed out his holdings, according
to story in Wall street. because his
wife desired him to do so.
Both Patten and his wife are intense
ly religious and spend much time and
money In church work. When Mrs.
Patten saw the newspaper stories about
the increase In the price of bread and
read that her husband was blamed for
this, she realized the sufferings brought
on the poor and. It is said, persuaded
MIR. Patten to close out his speculations
in wheat.
Experts here say Patten could have
sent the price Of wheat to $3.50 had he
so desired They therefore credit the
story Of Mrs. Patten's Influence.

JUDGE THROWS OUT
BANK INDICTMENTS

DENVER. April 27.-The seventeen
indictments against Judge Theron
Stevens, George r. Hurlbut and Joseph
Turner were quashed in Gunnison yes
terday by Judge Carlton M. Bliss of
Denver.
The indictments charged the men
named, who formerly were officials of
the defunct Bank of Ouray, with receiv-
ing deposits thirty days before the in
stitution closed its doors, when, it was
charged, they knew the bank was in
solvent.
1t was argued that the court below
denied the defendants the right to ap-
pear before and question the grand
Jury on grounds of alleged bias and
prejudice.
Judge Stevens had been appointed to
the bench in Goldfield. New, when the
indictments were found against him.
He had not been resident of Colorado
for two years.

INCOME TAX IS
CONSTITUTIONAL

SENATOR INTERRUPTED WHILE
SPEAKING ON TARIFF
Declares No American Citizen Who
Respects Himself Will Lie to
Escape Paying Duty.
Texan Applauded.
IRy Associated Press. ]

WASHINGTON, April 27.-In the
last half of his speech of two days
Senator Bailey devoted nearly three
hours in the senate today to discus
sion of the legal aspect Of his income
tax amendment to the tariff bill, citing
numerous cases and authorities to
maintain the view that such law
would be constitutional
He was interrupted frequently by
senator's, who at times objected to his
position or suggested authorities to
sustain him.
Mr.. Scott spoke on the tariff with
special reference to its effect on the
south. Mr.. Gore of Oklahoma de-
nounced the protective tariff.
Mr.. Bailey quoted from court opin-
ions and other authorities to SUB
stantiate his contention, respecting the
constitutionality of an income tax. lie
denounced the men who resist the in
come tax as inquisitorial as calculated
to make the United States nation of
liars"
THAT this tax is inquistorial," said
Mr. Bailey, 'is true, but not more SO
than any other tax. To compel me 10
tell the source of my income as Is done
in the state III WHICH ihC ~ 90 ~
quisitorial as to compel me to tell the
amount of my income. Every tax must
be inquisitorial, because otherwise the
honest men would pay 1t and the dis
honest men would escape 1T.
Mo American viii Lie
"I don't think a self-respecting
American citizen will lie to escape pay
ing a tax and If should find a man
who would commit perjury to escape
taxation l would favor disfranch1sing
him. 1t may be that rich men Will tell
a lie to avoid paying an income tax.
but 1 will not say so, although some OF
them say it themselves.
The rich man, Mr.. Bailey SAID,
should be willing to pay for the pro-
lection of his property over which
armies and navies "stand In solemn
guard"
For himself if he were counsel for the
rich. he said, he would advise them
not only to support but to advocate an
income tax law.
"And if they would do that" said
Mr.. Bailey, they would do more. TO
silence anarchy than all the penetac-
tions and charities they can do.
'.It seems to me there are rich men
who are willing to give benefactions
in order to have them published, who
are not willing to pay their fair por-
tion of the expenses of the govern
ment.''
AS Mr.. Bailey concluded he was con-
graduated by a large number of Demo-
cratic and Republican senator's.
