PRESIDENT TAFT ON RECORD FOR
 INCOME TAX
(specia1 from United Press.)

NoRSCld1 4IOAAI OhAlC0 ICSS.l
 Washington, April 17.-That an in come tax amendment to the tariff bill may be adopted by the Senate is more than a possibility. It is believed there is no doubt it will be adopted by the House and will be part of the bill to be presented for the approval of the President. President Taft is already on record as favoring such a tax if it can be so applied to meet constitu- tional objections. The best lawyers on both the Republican and Demo cratic side of the Senate are working on the proposition and the prospects are that they will be able to evolve law that will stand the test of the courts.
 If the whole Democratic vote in the Senate is cast in flavor of an income tax as would seem to be promised by the action of the two conferences of that party this week, it is claimed that the amendment can be passed without question by the aid of the Republican votes.
 But it is to be remembered that the Democratic conference does not bind any one of the members, each reserv- ing to himself the right to cast his vote according to his own ideas. A Republican who has been studying the situation claims that if all the Demo cratic votes can be counted upon, an income tax proposition of some char acter can readily be written into the bill He figures that there are at least twenty Republicans who will vote for a satisfactory amendment on this subject.

Charles ". Morse
 May Settle Case

Especial from United Press.)
 New York, April 17.-Many different rumors today center about Charles w. Morse, whose hearing on the supple mentary proceedings against him was suddenly postponed yesterday for some unexplained reason. One which is given serious consideration by those we'll versed in Morse's business affairs is that he has "cleaned up" a large amount of money in Wall Street and is ready and willing to settle the case. In this connection it has been stated that B. c. Martin. the broker who has a claim of $15,000 against Morse. is willing to accept $5,0O0 and drop the matter off his books. This is also un- confirmed.
 It also was consistently rumored that Morse is on the verge of a physical and mental breakdown as a result of his long Imprisonment. This is de- nied today by Deputy Warden Hanley of the Tonabs.

COL. HENDRIE IN
 AUTO-ACCIDENT
Car Totally Wrecked and Occupants Thrown 9 Feet MiraculOusly Escape Death.

Col. Charles w. Hendrie of Stam- ford, with a companion from New Ha- ven who withheld his name, and. his chauffeur, narrowly escaped death at Broad street in Stratford last night. The car. big Chalmers Detroit, ran into a big sycamore tree in front of Capt. A. Bedeu Benjamin's residence and was completely wrecked. Col. Hendrie was on his way to New Ha- ven when the accident occurred. It attempted to make the turn at a high rate of speed and struck the tree squarely head-on.
 The occupants of the ear were tree and landing on the soft sod All three were knocked out and Dr. Cogs- well was called to attend them. They recovered shortly, however. Only a few insignificant scratches told of the peril they had been in.
 Another car was procured from a Bridgeport garage and Col. Hendrie and his friend continued their journey. The chauffeur went back to Stamford. The force of the collision was so great that the forward spring of the car was driven into the solid wood of the syca- more fully six inches. The car is completely wrecked and it is doubtful if it can be repaired
 It required a number of men with a rope to pull the automobile away. The auto is now in Sheriff Stagg's garage. It is estimated it will cost $750 to put it in repair.
 Judge c. H. Peck happened to be taking a walk in the neighborhood at the crash and running to the spot found both men unconscious from ner- yous shock. Capt. and Mrs. B. Bedel1 Benjamin, with nuFse and medicines were soon on the spot to afford all the relief possible before Dr. Cogswe1l ar rived.

She entirely blind for two years, and Hood $ SarsapariIa cured her. It is wonderful, and do you think it surprising that I feel very grateful to this medicinef
 ssMy story is, briefly, as follows: We had her vaccinated, that she could go to school. Pretty soon, however, before her arm healed, she began to have eyes. They kept getting worse, and we took her to the doctor. Pretty soon she was blind in eye, and could see very little with the other. They told us she had ulcers on the eyeballs, and had five different doctors, some of the best specialists, and paid out over $20O for her treatment They told she would lose her sight. She could not stand the least particle of light, and we kept her in a dark room for weeks at time. Occasionally she would be a little better, but she became poor and nervous that she could not sleep, and did not know what earth to do, and was just dis couraged as could be when my mother said to me: q want you to give her Hood s Sarsaparilla.' I did not think it any use, but I did she rec commended, and I am glad I did When I had given her eight bottles her eyes had so much im- proved that she could not only stand the light, but was able to go to school for the first time in

1t was February 20 last that Douglas
learned of his inheritance. He received
letter that day from Willis & Jacobs,
New York lawyers, advising him that
Colonel G. III. Warield, for whom he
used to ride polo ponies, had left him
$4,000.
The former bellboy is the son of c.
K. Douglas. a wealthy wholesale drug
gist of Los Angeles, who disinherited
his son because of previous marriage.
1t was while riding for Colonel War

Douglas married Helen Sutherland,
prima donna with Ellen Beach Yaw
in Melba's company. Douglas pere
promptly disinherited his son when in
formed of the match. The young man
quit polo riding because his wife con-
sidered it too dangerous.
III health caused the young woman to
take her life in a Los Angeles hotel
October 81 last while Douglas was a
travelling auditor for the Pullman COM
pany. Shortly afterward Douglas came

he would go to Europe as soon as he
had secured the money, but he seems
to have fingered in this country long
