amendment was a proposition for q
duty of 10 cents pound on tea and Mr..
Tillman was behind 1t. The South
Carolina senator pressed so hard and
so long for his provision that 1t was
after o'clock before a vote was taken
and the schedule thus disposed Of.
There was another effort on the part OF
Mr.. Owen to revert to the question OF
duties. but in accordance with q pre-
vously announced determination, Sem
ator Aldrich moved to lay on the table
the Oklahoma senator's motion. which
looked to the gradual reduction Of all
duties imposed under the terms Of the
bill. and it prevailed.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Tillman's stren-
uous effort, his tea amendment was
lost by the decisive vote Of IS against
as opposed to Is for. The provi-
sion had the support Of only two Demo-
Gratis, Mr.. Bailey and Mr.. Tillman.
When the income tax question was
formally taken up, Senator Lodge NOV

Washington. June 29.-With tariff
schedules disposed Of and the DOB
locked for awhile at least against the
intrusion Of amendments the Senate
today began consideration of the in
come and corporation tax questions.
While the Senate was more THAI
four hours in formally coming to the
question of the taxation of incomes
the subject received more or less in
cidentai attention while the tea pro-
vision was under consideration, and Ii
was during that stage of the proceed
ing that the most interesting occur
renee of the day took place This was
the announcement of the real attitude
Of Chairman AIdrch of the finance
committee towards the corporation tax
provision. which he had introduced DIT
the instance Of the President.
1t had for some time been whispered
around the Senate corridors that the
Rhode Island senator had become. an
advocate of a tax on the earnings Of
corporations as the most effective
means of defeating q general income
tax amendment to the pending bill.
Mr. sAdrich today stated his own posi-
ton, which was in accordance with
the ruinorS. He spoke in response to
question from Senator Clay, and in
50 many words confessed his advo-
cacy Of the corporation tax as a means
Of defeating the income tax. He add
cd another reason, which was that he
thought for the next year or two there
would be deficit in the treasury re-
ccipts, which he was willing to have
made good by the proposed corpora
tion tax. With this service performed.
he thought the law could and would
be materially modified IL not entirely
repealed.
This frank declaration was seized
upon by the Democrats as confess
sion that the corporation tax is a mere
subtcrfuge to destroy the income tax,
and they were not slow in playing
up" the developments. Mr. Aldrich
denied, however, that he had intended
to characterize the corporation tax as
a subterfuges and defended it as q
legitimate means of raising revenue.
With only one amendment pending
when the Senate met at 10 o'clock, it
was supposed that it would be put out
of the way soon, and that, in accord
ance with the unanimous agreement
the Senate would Immediately take up

MEMS DIVISION n. z. MERRILL
In giving the history of The Senior

those that have gone before hy an in

pearancc IN thcir Freshman year when
tE"y proved themselves in the horn
rush. the baseball game and the r.ccp-
ton. These were distinguishing marks
of the class, and it is a credit to them
to say that they still hold good. The
class Srrit that marked the class from
the beginning has always been strong,
and it is due largely To the strong per-
sonality of its members. The record of
the class has been maintained in the
field of sports as is attcstcd by the fact
that ten Of the 2s men of the class are
ucarors If the &C" Anderson. Chand-
Ter. Fitzpatrick and Trasll. distinguished
themselves in track. fitzpatrick, Ham

Mcclellan in basketball. These are some
OF the achievements of the men in the
athletic phase of college. III the in
tnlleeutal field Dean. Mixer and Cup
til stood high in debate: Foye in cool
o"y: and Chandler in chemistry. Each
member OF the class has done some
thing of credit to himself and to the
college, Time is too brief to recite the
personal history of each, but the
achievements of the men after they

resume Of their course at Colby.

No Sinecure When Legis=

ing what the Legislature would do
It's such a handy thing to have around.
Suppose you want to introduce a bill
that o NOW is going to be torn to
pieces before you can get it fairly in

go to the attorney-generars office, out
line what you a to accomplish and
go away again. Then when the thing
is ready you spring it on the rest of
the unsuspecting legislators with the
announcement of its origin, and there
you are.
1t works the other way, too. Suppose
there is some measure pending that you
and your party don't quite like the
looks of. but which it would not be
we'll to kill right away. There you are
again. No one can kick very much if,
in your desire to see thai no undesir-
able legislation is enacted, you make a
motion and it is carried that the
matter be referred to the attorney
general. That takes time, no matter
how speedy the encouragement or his
assistant may be, n by the time the
bill is ready to come up again lots of
things may have happened.
So you can readily see hat the at
torney-generaPs office, especially dur
ing the legislative session, is a fairly
busy. place and that the post of as
sistant involves considerable industry.

Some Varied Experiences of the
Present Efficient Holder
Of that Position.

~ --M.N a- r .H
Gaskill was born in Mount Holly.
He prepared for college at Peddie In
stitute, in Hightstown, and entered
Princeton in 1896. While there he did
some debating that won a medal for
him. Upon graduation ne spent two
years in the Harvard Law School and
studied n year in the office of his
father, Judge Joseph H. Gaskill. He
was admitted to the bar as an attorney
IN 1899 and passed his counselor's ex-
amlnations three years later. Since his
admission he has practised law in
Camden with his father, as a member
of the, firm of Gaskill & Gaskill.
In h meantime, however, he had
been having some experiences. Too
much debating and studying will use
up even "a future assistant attorney
general, and Gaskill had to go to Cali
fornia to get into shape again. While
there he. went in for gardening ami
later became a superintendent of a
banana plantation farther South.
He Is an enthusiastic golfer, sailor
n horseman, but his strongest fad
is his library. At one time he took a
course in practical bookbinding in the
Trenton Industrial School. He enlisted
in the National Guard in 1896 and was
made a captain of his company two
years later. Since then he has been
appointed battalion adjutant of the
Third Regiment, a position he now
holds, together with a place on the
Governors personal staff.

failed TO reappear. DR.. Barclay tore
away the earth and weeds about the
hole until he had enlarged it enough to
enter. 1t was the entrance to the quar-
ries.
A chamber is pointed out in which it
is said the first meetings of Masonry
were held. 1t is a small semi-circular
place, with seats about it formed of
shelves Of stone. Crumbled into a
~shapeless mass at one end of the semi
circle is what once was a pillar of stone
and is said to have been the chapel OF
the lodge. 1t is in the same condition
now as when discovered, Mr.. Wallace
said.
An American named Page, according
to Mr.. Wallace, gave the best indica-
ton of the time which passed since the
quarries were lost. A small pottery
lamp, such as those used by the early
Jews, vas found in the quarries by Mr..
Page. 1t was filed with the minute
particles of dirt which float in the air.
These particles would remain in the
vessel after falling in, because pro-
tected from air currents by the rim of
the vessel. The pottery lamp had a
bowl one inch deep. 1t contained only
these atoms of dust. showing hat II
requires ages to fill.
The supposed connection of Solomon
with these quarries, together with the
traditional idea that associates him
with the early history of the Masonic
fraternity. is responsible for the inter-
est with which Masons regard these
caves, and especially the particular
chamber where lodge meetings are
sometimes held. Gavels and paper
weights made from the white stone OF
the quarry, and on which Masonic en-
blems are carved, are to be had in some
Of the stores of Jerusalem, and are
much priced by Masons.
