st. Petersburg, June 17.-Ozar Mich
olas and Emperor William today met in
the Gulf of Finland aboard the German
Imperial yacht HohenzOllern. The meet
ing between the two rulers, which it is
expected will have great bearing on
future European politics, was attended
by much pomp and ceremony and WAS
far from the mere "friendly VISIT in
Dictated in preliminary reports.
The meeting with the car is but one
link in the chain of efforts the kaiser is
making to establish the absolute su-
premscy of Germany in Europe.
Germany regards with deepest sus-
piciou the new tripartite entente be-
tween England, Russia and France, and
recent acts of hers have given rise to the
suspicion that the kaiser is seeking to
ALLEVIATE both Russia and France from
this union and attach them to her own
constellation Of powers In short, Ger
many, in the opinion of leading Russian
diplomats, is seeking to substitute her
own supremacy for the present domino
ton Of England.

Excitement at a Fire.

Cincinnati, June l7.-MOTe than
one hundred Hungarians, men, women
and children, living in an old FIVE story
river front tenement, fought in mad
panic this morning when gasoline ex-
plosion on the second floor set the room
on fire. Men and women we're over
come by smoke before they could grope
their way through the dark Railways.
Some ran unclothed to the street.
An eighteen.months-Old baby was
hurled by its crazed mother from p
fourth.stOry window in the arms of a
drayman. Then the mother lesped from
the window among massed policemen
and fremen and was but slightly hurt.
Firemen battled at the tops of ladders
With men 80 crazed they would have
hurled their Tescuers to death had they
not been beaten down. Even women
had to be knocked senseless. Only
bravery and discipline of the fremen
and police prevented a holocaust.
Ten persons were slightly burned.
No one WAS fatally injured. The build
Jog was destroyed.

RoOseveIt's Appeal.

New York, June l7.-From the
wilds OF far off Africa ex-President
Roosevelt has sent another appeal to the
American people "to wrest the control
of the government ont Of the hands OF
rich men who nse 1t for unhealthy
purposes"
Under the caption ''The Thraldom of
Names" Mr.. Roosevelt writes in the
current Outlook, with customary vigor,
of the necessity of continuing the fight
against crooked business, and declares
that 'ff business is hurt by the stern
exposure of crOokedness and the result
of efforts to punish the crooked man,
then business must be hurt, even though
good men are involved in the hurting"
The Article will undoubtedly be re-
gsrded by many as a suggestion from
the ex.president to his successor in
Office though 1t reads throughout as a
direct appeal to the American people.

Washington, June u.
Considerable opposition is already be.
ing manifested IN the Senate to the Taft
Aidrich proposition to put tax OF two
per cent on the net income Of all corpo-
rations. As result it is quite possible
that. when the amendment is finally re-
ported from the finance committee, 1t
will contain provisions which will ex-
empt from taxation the incomes of cor
porstions which do not exceed certain
figure, and may also exclude from the
operations of the law the incomes, de-
lived from corporations, Of individuals
which do not exceed certain amount
IN other words an effort is to be made to
protect the small stakeholder and throw
the bKrden Of the proposed two per cent
tax, sUall IS it is, upon wealth. One
of the first objections tost have been
raised to the plan proposed by Senator
Aldrich and endorsed by President Taft,
is that, whereas the direct income tax
proposition WAS limited to those persons
having incomes in excess Of s. 600 q
year, the pending suggestions would af-
feet everybody who hrd even the Smallest
kind of an interest in corporation OF
q Joint stock company OF sDy kind.

DISPATCHES from London cay tina

Max O'Rel, French journalist, many
years ago wrote a small volume entitled
"John Bull and His Island" The
writer gave a number Of extfavagsnt de-
scriptions of the idiOcyncrscies OF the

SENDING in a special message yester-
terdsy proposing an amendment TO Inc
constitution to permit the levying Of sn
income tax, and proposing also the IN
corporation 10 the tariff bill tax OF 2
Der cent. upon undistributed net earn
ing of corporations, President Taft de-
welcomed a situation that overshsdows
completely the tariff legislation.
The presidents recommendation IS to
an income tax is precisely in line With
the national democratic platform of last
year, aud directly at variance with
speech that Mr.. Taft made 10 Cincinnati
accepting the presidential nomination
He then declared he did not believe that
a constitutional amendment was neces-
,sary. but that an income tax Law could
be framed that would pass She scrutiny
of the Supreme Court. In his message
Yesterday the president admits that ne
has changed his mind and now believes
that a constitutional amendment is nee
essay. He admits some doubt IS to
whether such an amendment can be &C.
cured, but says he believes that the great
majority of the people want it. MI
Tait's action yesterday make many be-
Hieve that he has succumed to the wies
of Senator Aldrich and that the chances
of revision of the tariff cownward as
ne had recommended are slim indeed.

CITY FATHER GARNISHEED FOR
TAXES WHICH HE CLAIMS HE
DOES NOT OWE.

The dignity Of City Father has
been rufAed by the merciless and un-
sympathetic routine of the heartless
tax office.
Supervisor Aylett has been gar
nisheed for taxes alleged to be due,
amounting to $34.70.
The queer part of the proceeding is
that the tax assessor came all the way
town town to garnishee Aylett's mu-
nificent salary of $50 per month as a
statesman, when it would have been
so much easier to garnishee him as
night custodian of the capitol build
ing.
Whether Aylett owes the money is
another question. Ten dollars is
claimed by the Territory for personal
taxes, and the rest on property.
The personal tax alleged to be due
relates to the time when Aylett was
a member of the band, and as such
was exempt from taxation. The pro-
perty tax he also declares is an inn
position, for the reason that the prop
erty taxed has left his hands through
foreclosure of mortgage.
