NO CHANGE FOR
INCOME TAX LAW
REPUBLICAN SENATORS SAY THE
COURSE OF SENATOR BAIL
EY or TEXAS HAS KILL
ED PROPOSITION.

washington, May 2S.-The income
tax proposition is dead for this ses-
sion. the leaders of the republican in
come takers asserted today, and they
charged that the course of Senator
Bailey in dealing with the question
was responsible for the hopeless situ-
alton.
They tried not TO charge Bailey
not say he was insincere in his adj
yocacy Of an income tax, but they
did assert that mis- course was admir-
ably calculated to make 1t impossible
to keep together the republican and
the democrat advocates Of the tax.
If he had started out deliberately
for the purpose OF making impossible
the adoption OF an income tax amend
ment TO the Aldrich bin. the republi-
can progressives say, he could have
hardly hit upon more effective tactics
than those he has pursued.
In this bin OF particulars against
Bailey, the progressive republicans
point to his constant naggfng at the
about the question and
his allegations that the majority knew
an income tax was necessary In order
to raise sufficient revenues for the
support Of the government, but that
they feared to resort to IT because
they realized that the adoption of the
tax would mean the beginning OF the
end Of the whole protective system
Bailey. the republican income tax
ers point out, has repeatedly declared
his own conviction that the adoption
of the tax would mean the breaking
down OF the protective system, and
only yesterday he told the republicans
that their party would soon so to
pieces if they resorted to an income
tax.
The whole effect of this line of talk
by the Texas senator. the progressives
assert. have been TO scare the more
tirnid from the support og the income
tax proposition.

SIMPSONS LIFE
WITH THE JURY
CASE WENT TO TWELVE GOOD
MEN AND TRUE JUST AFTER
CLOCK ToLLED u TODAY
FIVE vERDlcTs ARE POSSIBLE
UNDER THE CHARGE.

The fate, for life or death, OF Edward
Simpson, the colored man charged with
the deliberate and cold blooded murder
Of Charles Clarke, now rests with the
twelve good men and true," who were
selected for the jury in this case.
Five verdicts were possible under the
charge as given by Judge Chas. A. Pol
lock. These five verdicts are as fol-
lows:
Murder in the first degree, penalty
death by hanging.
Murder in the first degree, penalty
life imprisonment
Murder in the second degree. penalty
from ten to thirty years Imprisonment.
Manslaughter In the first degree,
penalty from Ave to fifteen years.
Not guilty, freedom.
AS the great clock on the courthouse
tolled out the hour, Of I2 at noon today,
Judge Pollock was Just concluding his
charge to the jury and he waited until
the clock finished tolling before giving
the last few impressive words to the
twelve men.
Judge Pollock did not review the evi-
dence in the case. He simply gave the
jury the law as he understood II, as I
covered the case as it had developed
under the testimony brought out at the
trial fsN
He told the jury that II they found
that Edward Simpson had killed Clarke
with the deliberate intent of killing
him, and that 1T was not case of self
defense, that they should find him
-,
the extreme penalty.
1t is with the jury, under the North
Dakota law, to fix the sentence as well
as to determine the guilt or innocence
of the party accused.
w. s. Stambaugh, assistant states
attorney, gave the opening arguments
for the state to the jury. He spoke
briefly yesterday afternoon, outlining
the evidence in a clear, forcibls man
ner.
Atty. T. III. McEnroe for the defense
followed, and he spoke at some length
both yesterday afternoon and this
morning.
His principal plea Of defense was
that number Of the witnesses for the
state were not dependable. That they
had manufactured some OF their evil
dence out of whole cloth. He claimed
that the state had not proved that
Simpson had fred any shots except the
first five, which he claimed were fired
while the defendant was in the heat
of passion.
States Attorney Fowler closed the
arguments for the state going over oil
the evidence and putting the Ease In a
very strong light .....ss-.
A dramatic incident of the trial was
just as States ATTORNEY Fowler finished
his exhaustive talk to the Jury. Simp-
son jumped to his feet shouting, Il
want to ask that man some questions" !"
He was jerked back to his seat by
Deputy Sheriff Richards and he kept
mumbling and talking to himself for
several minutes.

Ryan, and Mccartney also, will be
placed on the witness stand when his
case comes to trial.
The marshal and Mr.. Mckay have
had a strenuous time getting their
prisoner. He had been confined in the
state reformatory at first and 1t was
from that institution that they secured
him to testify against Mccartney.
When they arrived there this time,
however, they found that owing to in
corrigibility he, with bunch Of other
prisoners, had been trans
ferred to the state pen and 1t was
necessary to wire back for lew papers
before they could get him

vENTloN ENDED THURSDAY.

One OF the largest and most enthus-
iastic conventions Of the women's For
eign Missionary society of the Metho-
dist Episcopal churches o. the Fourth
district of North Dakota, closed yes
terday afternoon in Fargo.
The principal business # the after

Work Most interesting.
The work of the entire convention
was most interesting, especially that
which was outlined by the programme
yesterday afternoon. The session be-
gan at 1880 with conference OF the
young peoples and children workers
The convention proper opened at 2:30
o'clock by a devotional exercise con-
Quoted by Mrs. Talbot Of Fargo.
Mrs. w. J. Clapp, also of Fargo, pre-
sented a most interesting paper on
children's work. Mrs. Clapp demon
strated clearly what a great interest
the children and young people take in
the mission work when they are edu-
Gated to the great needs of the cause.
Her thoughts were very valuable to the
delegates. They showed what really
great interest the rising generations
are taking in the work of christian ex-
pansion.
The Work Among MosIen1s.
The principal address of the day
was that of Rev. G. A. Mcnamara on
The MosIem Work. This address was
especially interesting because of the
fact that Reverend Mcnamara spent
number of years in Indian and is
conversant with conditions In that
country. He dealt with his subject In
a manner that only those who have
been in Mohammedan countries are
able to speak.
Following the address by Mrs. Clapp.
the children of the First M. r. and
Broadway churches rendered a most
interesting programme. Recitations
and songs by the Sunday school chill
dren's societies--the , Kings Heralds
and Little Light Bearers-were given.
Letters from Miss Huelstn, the chill
dren's missionary, were read
The children of Fargo have made
twenty nine life members in FIVE years,
was one Of the pleasing reports that
was made during the convention.
The programme as outlined was fol-
lowed out with the exception that Mrs.
N. L. Redman took the subject Friend
and Quarterly Review, which was to
have been given by Mrs. w. F. Taylor
Through the convention from point
Of interest and attendance was the best
that has been held by tho Fourth dis
trict mission workers in long time.
