PRESIDENT PENNA DEAD.
Head of United States of Brazil Ex-
pires Suddenly.

Washington. June 14.-Dr.. Alfonso
Moreira Penna, president of Brazil
died at half past O'clock this morning
according to despatch received at the
state department from the American
ambassador at Rio. de Janeiro.
The death of DR.. Penna evidently
was sudden. Other than despatch
received from Rio de Janeiro lastnight
saying that he was gravely i'll and that
as a consequence the ministefsN had
been summoned to the palace there has
been no intimation that he was in i'll
health The last report of his doings
concerned the opening of the Brazilian
congress on May 4 and his message to
that body, and two weeks later hts re-
fusal to accept the resignation of the
Brazilian minister of finance.
DR.. Penna was elected to Office by
universal suffrage in the twenty fed
Grated states in 1906 and assumed Of
flee Nov 10 of that year. His term
would have expired in 1910 He was a
native of the state of Minas Geraes
and his success was due to a coalition
or the principal states against Sac
Paulo, which had supplied all past
presidents.
The vice president of the republic
today is Milo Pecanha. On June 10 II
was announced in Rio de Janeiro that
Marchal Hermes Fonseca was a can
didate for the presidency in succession
to DR.. Penna.

25Oth ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
of the
Founding of Norwich, July 5fh and 9th

there will be no further mention of
Buffalo Bill" big" Hawley. the for
mer convict, or Ed Sholes, the reputed
gambler But 1t still leaves the ques-
tion of Mrs. Gould's alleged Indulgence
in intoxicants.
Mrs. Gould BIushed a Dark Red.
Whatever bearing the events of the
day will have on the ultimate decision
in the case, honors were about even
in the verbal battle between the cross
examiner and Mrs. Gould. Both sprung
surprises. The lawyers most peril
nent and apparently embarrassing
thrust was the exhibition of a faded,
fashioned photograph Of young
woman sitting on a white horse, with
the white canvas of a circus tent in
the background. Mrs. Gould turned a
dull red, when 1t was shown, but she
would not Identify the photograph as
one of herself. nor would she swear
that it was not. She thought 1t was
hardly fat enough for me-" This pic
ture was introduced to show, If pos
sible, Mrs. Gould's former association
with Buffalo Bills show. She had de-
MED on the stand that she was in any
way connected with the Wild West
though she admitted that she had
Travelled at times with Col. w. r.
Cody and his daughter, and that he
was her manager.
Cutting Retort from Mrs. Gould.
In retaliation for the picture Incl
dent, Mrs. Gould made one cutting re-
tort to her inquisitor.
Mr.. Nicoll had been asking the wit
ness about her gowns, how many she
wore, how often she wore them and
what became of them. They were CIV
en- away, Mrs. Gould testified. "One
of them" she shot in, was given to
your own sister, who is on the stage.
I have aided many poor girls to get
stage engagements by equipping them
with my discarded gowns"
did il become her?" was Mr.. Mic
OILS only rejoinder.
"Very Bad Taste" to Wear a Gown
Twice.
AS was the case Friday, most of to-
day was taken up in questioning Mrs.
Gould concerning her lavish expendi-
lures. How many frocks to wear a
day, how long it took to dress and
the declaration that it was very bad
taste" to wear gown twice. were
among the interesting fashion hints in
the testimony. The name of Dustin
Farnum, the actor, was again brought
in, and George Gould testified how he
instituted an investigation of an al
legged marriage of the plaintiff before
she became his brothers wife.

INCOME TAX QUESTION
Comes Up for Vote Next Friday
Plans of the Opponents.

Washington, June 14.-When the in
come tax question comes before the
senate for a vote, next Friday, the
plan of it's opponents, backed, by the
interest of President Taft, to circum-
vent the adoption of such measure,
will be outlined.
Substitute Attachment.
Already the opponents express con-
fidence in their ability to substitute
for the income tax amendment a pro-
vision for a tax on net earnings of
corporations, available for dividend
purposes, coupled with a provision for
the submission to the legislatures of
several states, a constitutional amend
ment giving congress the power to pay
and collect direct taxes on incomes. 1t
is understood at the capitol that a
number of progressive" republicans
have expressed their willingness to
support an amendment providing for
tax of two per cent. on the undis-
tributed net earnings Of. corporations,
available dividend purposes, if an
amendment is adopted, submitting to
the states the question of adopting an
amendment to the Legislature giving
to congress the right to collect direct
taxes on incomes.
Senator Aldrich was at the White
house today and was the guest of
President Taft at luncheon. They dis
cussed this proposal at great length,
and the chairman of the finance COM
mittee added with the president that
such a plan would be wise.
The Presidents Position as Under
stood.
1t is understood that the president
believes the income tax question
should not again be submitted to the
supreme court, but he takes the posi-
ton, it is said, that congress should
be given the power to levy taxes on
incomes. 1t is his theory, according
to members of the senate who have
talked with him, that the right of con-
gress to levy such a tax should be de-
termined as soon as possible so that
this method of raising revenues could
be available in time Of war or emer-
gency of any character.
That the president is not in favor
of the direct taxes, and that sufficient
revenue can be produced without them
is asserted by many senators opposed
to the income tax. Harmony with
the attitude of the president in this
regard, the provision for a tax on un-
distributed net earnings of corpora
tions, would, il adopted, probably be
limited to a period of two years. The
idea back of the provision for a short
term tax is that sufficient revenues
would be produced in two years to
wipe out the deficit in the treasury
and put the government finances on a
firm footing. 1t is argued that the law
could be extended by a vote of con-
gress If necessary.

BEAN SOUP REMEDY
FOR STEADY DRUNKS."
New Jersey Sheriff Has Sure Cure
for Dipsomania.

Burlington, n. j., June 14.-The
bean soup remedy introduced by
Sheriff William w. Worrell as one Of
his economy and reform plans is not
only Saving Burlington county several
hundred dollars monthly, but is making
more real converts to temperance than
any cure yet discovered. Criminolo-
gists who have studied the phenomenal
results of the bean soup programme
pronounce il a greater success than
the wash and work edict by which
the new sheriff has cleaned the county
of tramps.
Tramps were the scourge Of small
cities and towns about the county
when Mr.. Worrell went into office.
Past conditions at the Jail had made IL
handy winter retreat for the idle.
When Mr.. Worrell made the tramp
prisoners bathe, wash their cells, and
do all the work about the Jail, there
was such a bolt to other counties that
the saving on the tramp board bill
alone would pay for a new Jail build
ing
The sheriff a few weeks ago began
to apply his new plan to the dipso-
maniacs sent up as "steadies.' When
the tramps deserted the prison. work
WAS given to the habitual drunkards.
but, in addition, the sheriff prescribed
a daily menu of bean soup for all such
prisoners
Protests from some of the prisoners
under the unchanging diet Of bean
soup" are reaching the outer world.
One came to Police Captain Shumard
of Burlington. 1t says in part:
Dear Cap: ] am writing to see IL
you can't get some of my time taken
off l don't like the bean soup they
serve out over here. They don't even
use white beans any more. They make
it out of yellow beans. But it's bean
soup just the same, and nothing but
bean soup every day. Damn the beansl

Washington, June 14.-Leaders in the
senate now express themselves as con-
fdent that the tariff fight in the SEN
ate is fast drawing to close and thai
the final vote will be taken before july
LIST. This again brings forward the
question of conference between the
two houses and speculation as to the
makeup of the conference committee
is once more an important topic. II
is conceded that the struggle between
the senate and the house in committee
will be strenuous, as the two bills are
radically different. and it is generally
understood that the house members
of the committee will refuse to give
in to the. senate changes. 1t may be
the bill viii be in conference three
weeks or a month. but when it comes
out it is expected it will pass both
houses without any trouble.
There will be five republican senators
and five republican members of the
house on the committee, according to
present plans. Senators Aldrich, Bur-
rows, Penrose and Hale are sure to be
on the committee. 1t is predicted that
Senator Cullom, who would naturally
be the fifth member, is not to go on,
and that someone from the west will
be selected in his place. If so, it will
been one of Senator Aldrichs chief
lieutenants, although Senator McCum-
ber is also mentioned in this connec-
ton.
At one time it looked as though Mr..
Hill would not be on the committee
-on conference. but at present his
chances look very bright Mr.. Payne,
Mr.. Dalzen and Mr.. Bouten are the
other members sure to go on. Whether
Mr.. Mccall will go on or not seems
doubtful at this time, as the middle
west is clamoring for one representa-
tive, and New England has more than
its share The fight seems to be be-
tween Mr.. Calderhead of Kansas and
Mr. Fordney of Michigan, provided, of
course. Mr.. Mccall is passed by
Present indications seem to indicate
that the following will constitute the
membership of the conference commit
tee: Senators Aldrich, Burrows, Pen
rose, Hale and Smoot, Representatives
Payne, Dalzell, Hill. Boutell and Ford
ney. This is a strong committee and
the house members are expected to
stand up for the bill that passed the
house. On the other hand, it is pre-
dicted that the senate members will be
willing to concede many points, but the
deliberations will be slow and tedious.
Those who expect to be on the confer
ence committee are now studying hard
the two bills, and when the proper
time comes they will go into confer
ence well prepared as to the various
schedules

Abandonment
The Sole Issue
UPON WHICH THE CASE WILL BE
DECIDED.
THE COULD DIVORCE SUIT.
Case for the Plaintiff Rested-verbaI
Battle Between Gross Examiner and
Mrs. GouId-Latter Talks Back.

New York, June .14.-Abandonment
will be the sole issue upon which the
suit for separation brought by Katha-
rine Clemmons Gould against her
husband, Howard Gould, third son of
the late Jay Gould, twill be decided.
This ruling was made late today in
the supreme &ourt by Justice Bowling,
who is hearing the case, after counsel
for Mrs. Gould had rested the case
for the plaintiff. This sweeps away
several phases of the case-notably
cruelty and on-support-and is a
partial victory for Howard Gould. AS
to the charge of abandonment, the
court held that this too might not
stand unless the plaintiff was able to
show that Howard Gould's stipulations
for a reconciliation with his wife were
unreasonable. This phase of the case
will be argued tomorrow.
No Further Mention Of the Sports.
Inasmuch as the abandonment
charge evidently is to be considered,
