CORPORATION TAX IS DEAD
INCOME AMENDMENT ALSO MAY
BE LEFT OVER.
AIdrich Group Of Senators Prefer to
Collect Revenue Entirely by
Means Of Tariff.

Washington, June 24.-The CAM
paign in favor of postpOning until the
next session of congress the serious
consideration of the proposed tax on
dividends OF corporations and the pro-
posed income tax amendment to the
federal constitution has been steadily
crystallizing this week, and is now in
form to justify something like a de-
finite statement as to the reasons
which are behind it.
These provisions looking in the
directions of new sources OF revenue
are based OF the assumption that the
tariff law now in process of making
will not produce revenues sufficient 10
aefray the necessary running eXpens-
eS of the government. In other words,
if the new tariff law should be found
TO be a sullic.en: evenu producer.
there would be no reasO why either
OF the proposed direct taxes should
be levied.
Senator Aldrich and his associates
on the finance committee have from
the beginning said that the new tariff
law would produce ample revenue for
all proper purposes. They gave their
consent to the income tax and di;i-
dend a propositions, not because
they favored them on principle. but
because they wanted to head off q
movement that would have tackled an
income tax amendment onto the tariff
bill in the enate.
Their purpose has now been &C,
complished, or it will be accomplished
the moment a vote has been had or
the Bailey-Cummins amendment, for it
is pretty definitely known that that
amendment cannot carry as long az
the other two propositions are pend
ing.
The house has put into it's tariff bin
an inheritance tax section, INC the
men who will be confcrees on the part
Q! the house are not in sympathy with
it. The senate probably will put into
its bill a dividend tax section, and the
men who will be conferees on the part
Of the senate will be of the same
opinion as those Of the house. The
result, as the wise ones now foresee
it, will be that, when the conferees
get together, they will drop both sec
tons and agre on the bill with no
evenue features outside of those pro.
vided by the schedules.

Wehrum, Pa, June 24.-Sixty-ive
men are entimbed in a mine OF the
Lackawanna Coal & Coke Company,
where an explosion occurred and it
is now feared that they may be burned
to death.
Three miners are dead, five or six Oh
the workers are fatally burned and
twenty-five are badly injured.
Shortly after noon word was sent to
the Cambria Steel Company at Johns
town to forward with all dispatch 20
the mine at Wehrum all the oxygen
tanks the company might have in its
possession.
Black damp has been increased to
such an extent in the mine that the
work of the rescuers is being seriously
hampered.
Fires are Raging.
The company was also asked to send
assistance for the purpose Of fighting
the flames, which has been asserted as
raging shortly after noon in the vari-
Gus parts Of the mine.
The explosion occurred in what is
known as the first lift of the main
heading.
The mine has been recently work
ing only on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Work was started and many OF the
miners went in and were engaged in
blasting down the coal and getting it
ready for the loading on next Friday.
No open lamps are used in the mine,
oil of the miners having safety lights.
The mine was recently inspected and
found to be in good condition. 1t is
surmised that one of the charges of
dynamite may have reached a pocket
Of gas and thus caused the explosion.
Shortly after noon, George Blewitt,
a miner from Vintondals, called for
volunteers to enter the mine to assist
in bringing some of those who had
become overcome by the black damp
Ten men quickly responded. They
were able, however, to remain there
only for about twenty minutes, having
been compelled to return on account
of the poisonous fumes of the after
gas.
Explosion Throughout Mine.
The first report that came to the
anxious watchers at the mouth of the
mine was that two or three men had
been injured and that the accident
might not turn out seriously as such
accidents generally do. This buOyed
up the relatives and friends of the
miners for a short time, but as the
minutes sped by and only a few OF
the men reached the surface, burned
and seriously injured, despair begar
to settle on the watchers.
When Johnson and the Burns broth
ers succeeded in escaping from the pi
they stated brokenly, while suffering
the greatest agony from burns, tina
the explosion a a bad me-. 1t ap
peared to them hat the explosion hat
taken place throughout the entir'
mine, and that everyone at work il
the mine seemed for a moment or tw,
to be paralyzed.
Following the explosion there was
flash and then all was darkness. Pit
full calls for help and groans wer,
heard as the three men made thei
way to the entrance, staggering an
falling over the bodies of comrade
who had succumbed with the frs
shock.

HOW TO DESTROY EXPLOSIVES.

Precaution to Be Taken With Gun.
powder and NitrogIycerins.
The best way to destroy ordinary
black gunpowder is to throw 1t into a
stream under conditions that prevent
any harm coming to human beings
or animals through the dissolving of
the saltpetre. II no suitable stream
10 available the gunpowder may be
poured out on the ground in a long
thin line and ignited with a fuse at
one end.
To destroy dynamite cartridges the
paper wrappinngs should be carefully
removed. the bare cartridges laid in
a row with their ends in contact and
the first cartridge ignited with a fuse
without . cap. Even with these pre-.
cautions a simultaneous explosion Of
the entire mass may occur, so that
it is wise to retire to q safe distance.
The row Of cartridges should be laid
parallel with the wind and ignited at
the leeward end so that the flame
will be driven away from the mass.
Frozen dynamite should be handled
with special care. as Its combustion
is peculiarly liable to assume an ex-
ploeive character. A small quantity
Of dynamite may be destroyed BY
throwing 1t in very small bits into an
open IRE, or the cartridges may be
exploded n by one In the open air
with fuses and caps.
Dynamite should never be thrown
into water, AZ the nitroglycerine
which it contains remains u%ndissolved
and capable Of doing mischief. Other
| explosives which contain nitroglycer-
inc should be treated in the same way
as dynamite.
Ammonium nitrate explosives may
be thrown in small fragments into an
open fire, or II they do not contain
n~itroglycerine may be destroyed by
means OF water. Explosive caps
should be exploded with pieces OF
fuse.
