Senate Adopts Amendment
for Submission.
NO CHANGE In RESOLUTION

Motion of Mr.. Bristow to Include Elec-
tion of Senators by Direct Vote of
the People Ruled Out of Order-Ef-
fort to Amend Method of Ratiflca-
tion of Proposed Amendment Is
Voted Down.
Washington, July 6.-Having re-
fused to amend the Brown resolution
for a constitutional amendment pro-
viding for an income tax the senate
adopted the resolution unanimously,
the ayes being II and the noes 0.
When discussion of the amendment
was resumed Mr.. Bristow presented
an amendment TO the resolution re-
quiring the election of senators By a
vote of the people and Mr.. Bailey pre-
sented two amendments one provid-
ing that the ratification Of the pro
posed amendment be by state conven-
tions instead of by state legislatures
and the other providing for a gradu-
ated income tax.
Before a vote was taken the vice
president ruled out of order the
amendment of Senator Bristow for the
election of senators by popular vote,
thus bringing to the front Mr.. Bailey's
amendment to refer the ratification
of the proposed amendment to state
conventions instead of the legisla-
lures. The amendment was rejected,
80 to 46. The Democratic senators
generally voted for the Bailey amend
ment and the Republicans generally
against it.
Six Republicans Not in Line.
The exceptions on the affirmative
side were Borah, Bristow. Clapp, Cum
minis, Jones and La Toilette, Repub.
licans, who voted for the Bailey propo-
sition, and Daniel and Martin, Demo.
Gratis, who voted against it,
BY unanimous consent Mr.. Bailey
withdrew his amendment providing
for graduated income tax, saying he
knew 1t would be voted down and he
did not wish that fact to be cited in
the United States supreme court at
any time in connection with any in
come tax case. The vote then recur
ring on the original Brown resolution
referring to the legislatures of the
various states the question of amend
ing the Constitution so as to author
ize the levying of an income tax, the
resolution was adopted without dis
senting vote.
Immediately on the passage of the
income tax resolution the admins
trative features of the tariff bill were
laid before the senate and Senator
Rayner vigorously attacked the valid
fty of the provision for a customs
court on the ground that 1t did no
provide for a jury trial. He insisted
that there should be some provision
for an appeal from this court

AT present the only point al which the

miles above that town, and to reach which
it is necessary to go out of ones way on
the trip from Washington. Edwards
ferry is about five miles this side of
Whites ferry. 1t is reached from this
city either by the Rockville pike, the one
most frequently used at present, or the

the very good reason that it is the better,
it will probably not be long before the
River road rivals it in popularity on that
same account. The first fourteen miles by
the river route are over the Conduit road.

Great Falls from this point 1t is necessary
to make detOur around the hills. This

IN no place has nature been more

are offered the motoTst in search of
pleasing afternoon trip. Through the
courtesy Of 10 r. Grabill, assistant en-
sineer of Rock Creek Park, few days

bridge is expected to be completed by
January / next. Ii will be a macadam
road from Columbia road northward.
The smooth macadam roads throughout
the park are in excellent trim, and every
inducement is offered the motorist to
spend his leisure moments in that vicin-
ity. The speed limit is twelve miles per
hour. In addition to the macadam roads
bride paths and dirt roads are provided,
which are closed to automobiles. The
famous Bowlder bridge, the Pebble

picturesque examples of artistic cOnstruc-

G. X. LEAGUE SCHEDULE.
Seventy Games VIII Be Played
Season Starts June IA.

Salina, Kan, April 2.-The official
Central Kansas league schedule for
the season of 1909 has just been given
out by the schedule committee, COM
posed of Roy Gafford of Minneapolis,
F. S. Foster of Ellsworth and J. T.
West Of Manhattan.
The season will open on June IA,
with the four western towns, Beloit
Ellsworth, Minneapolis and Salina,
playing with the four eastern towns,
Abilene, Junction City. Clay Center
and Manhattan, and when the season
ends September 1, the four eastern
towns will be found playing with the
four western towns. The season con-
siStS of seventy games. 1t was origin
ally planned to have 100 games, but
owing to the fact that league baseball
is something new for three of four of
the towns, only seventy games will be
attempted. The season will open late
and most of the teams will be organ
lied in time for at least one month of
exhibition ball.
On account of the Fourth of July
coming on Sunday, half of the towns
were given doubleheaders on Saturday
before and the other four on the fol-
lowing Monday. 1t is intended that
the towns will accordingly arrange
their celebration plans.
The league is under national pro-
lection and it promises to be the
strongest league in the state. It's only
competitor is the State league but the
circuit of the Central Kansas league
is so much more compact that travel
ing expenses of the teams will not be
half as great. The State league COW
