House Passes the Senate'S
Joint Resolution.
ALL DEMOCRATS IN ITS FAVOR
Only Fourteen Republicans Against
It-President Agree. to Reduc-
tion of Corporation Tax
to One Per Cent.

Washington, July 13-It is now up
to the legislatures of the several states
to say whether there shall be an in
come tax amendment to the constitu-
ton.
BY the decisive vote Of 317 to IA,
more than the necessary two-thirds,
the house passed the senate Joint reso-
luton providing for the submission Of
the question to the states. No amend
ment having been made to the resolu
ton, 1t now goes to the president for
his signature.
To man the Democrats voted for
the resolution. while fourteen Repub-
licans cast their votes against it as
follows:
Allen Me.), Barchfeld. Dalzell, Nc
Creary and Wheeler Pa). Fordney
(Mich), Gardner. Mccall and Weeks
(Mass), Hill and Henry Comm, o.
colt and Southwick IN. ", Calder
head (Kan).
Chairman Payne of the committee
on ways and means voiced the senti-
ment that such tax would make "a
nation of liars" although he said 1t
was we'll that such power should be
given congress, especially in times of
war.
The burden of the Democratic
speeches was that it was simply a
case Of stealing Democratic thunder
although some Of the remarks on that
side incidentally touched upon the tar
q iff and the corporation tax, with no
little amount of castigation of the Re
publicans for failing, as was alleged.
to keep party pledges.
Mr.. Henry CTex) vainly sought to
offer an amendment providing for the
submission of the question through
constitutional conventions, but the
speaker ruled that under the agree
ment for vote no amendment was in
order. From that decision Mr.. Henry
appealed and succeeded in forcing a
roll call.
The vote resulted yeas 1S5, nays
143, which had the effect of sustaini' ~
the speaker. Undaunted Mr.. Henry
moved to recOmmit the resolution with
instructions, but was debarrcd from
recognition because he was in favor
of the resolution. Mr.. Gardner Mass
made the point, but it was overwhelm-
ingly voted down.
At conference with the president
at the White House it was definitely
decided that the rate to be levied un-
der the new corporation tax shall be
reduced from per cent to 1 per cent
and that in redrafting the measure
now in conference with the tariff bill,
to meet various objections that have
been raised, due consideration shall be
given to the demands of the mutual
life insurance companies whose in
comes would be seriously affected by
the tax in its original form.
The president is in daily consultation
with the tariff conferees. He told sew
eral of his callers that he Is finding
the conferees conciliatory and that he
is hopeful that satisfactory measure
will be presented to him for his sig
nature. The conference report should
be available. according to the presi-
dents information, by the end of next
week.

AGED COUPLE MURDERED.
Beaten to Death In Bed as They Slept
and Then Home Set on Fire.


Fatchogue, n. Y, July 13.-A coro-
ner's autopsy has proved cOnclusively
that Thomas Verify, ninety-three years
old, and his wife Cynthia, eighty-four,
whose bodies were found in the ashes
of their home here, We're not smoth-
cred by smoke or burned to DEATH
Death had come from conclusion of
the brain. They had apparently been
beaten to death in bed while they lay
asleep. The woman's scalp bore three
gashes, one five inches long, while the
old mans head was badly cut. -.
A motive for the murder is not easy
to assign, although Peter Backaleyitch,
the landlord, is held as suspect,
When the tiremen came they found the
landlord, who lives on the SECOND floor,
fully dressed outside the locked front
door.
His explanation is that he was so
hard pressed by The flames that he had
to jump from his bed out of the win
dow, grabbing his clothes as he fled. 80

chauffeur and bartender are the pris-

plants were carted off in the dead Of
night in taxicab. They were planted
at Mrs. Sage's expense and comprised
the finest collection Of the kind in the

at times and at others closed his eyes
while the taxicab halted and the occu-
pants despoiled the beds.

certain. Nelson declares that the fight
will not go the limit, and many are
inclined to agree with him. Wolgast
is, however, a husky lad, In good
shape, and may make the champion ex-
tend himself. 1t is said that Nelson
will receive $500 for his half hours
work, while Wolgast will be paid
$500.

English Lightweight Declared the Win

Mountain Ash, Wales, July 13. -
Freddie Welch, the English light

of what was scheduled to be twenty
round bout here.
Josephs was disqualified for fouling.
Welch ruled the favorite in the betting

The fact that Welch WOE on foul
was very unsatisfactory, as he un-

rounds. His superiority was clearly
marked. He did most Of the leading,

Greensboro, October 7.-(Special.) 1.-The
elevens from the Southern university and
from the Marion institute played a very
exciting game of football here on Wednes-
day afternoon. The game consisted of
two halves of 20 minutes each. The
Southern university had the kickoff in the
first half and though they carried the ball
to within five yards of the enemy's goal
they were unable to score. In the second
half the Marion boys started out bril-
liantly, but found that the Southern uni
versity line could not be broken. The
game closed a tie, the final score being
0 to 0. The lineup of the two elevens
was as follows
Southern University: C. H Cleveland,
fullback; A. H. Mcdonald, right half;
H. w. Thompson. left half; A. II. Moore,

HEYDLEY TURNS
DOWN PROTEST


New York, October 7.-President Heyd-
Ter of the National league has declined to
allow Brooklyn's protest Of the game
played with Chicago in Brooklyn Septem-
Der 8, which resulted In a Chicago victory
by score Of 10 to A. eight Of Chicago's
runs being scored in the ninth inning.
It had been agreed between the man
ayers of the respective teams to stop
play at SIS p. M. but the umpires' re-
port showed that the Brooklyn club had
adopted dilatory tactics when it was In
danger of being beaten.
President Heydler finds merit in Brook
lyn's contention that the umpire-in-chlef
should have called the game at bib p.,
M. but as the time of starting the game
was half an hour later than provided in
the constitution, and as the Brooklyn
team also pursued tactics of delay, he
does not feel justified in throwing out the
championship game and altering the
standings of the clubs involved.

REMNANT RACE Is
ENDED AT LAST

nant floating securely over the Pittsburg
clubhouse for another u months, the 1909
championship baseball season of the Ma
tional league passed into history today.
Boston and Brooklyn won the final vic
tories of the season, the former defeating
Philadelphia and the latter New York.
Pittsburg's victory has been widely pre-
dicted since May 5, when the team as
sumed an aggressive lead. Chicago, which
finished second, has held an intimidating
position all along, however, and the result
was not clinched until September %.
New York finished third and Cincinnati
fourth The disappointments of the year
were the Brooklyn, st. Louis and Boston
clubs. The standing of the clubs fol-
