CLOSE VOTE IS
VERY PROBABLE
Big Fight in the Senate Over
Reference of Income Tax
Amendment.

Washington, May 1S.-That thereIwilI be
sharp contest in the senate over the
proposition to refer to the judiciary COM
mittee the amendment to the tariff bill
introduced by Senator Bailey, providing
for an income tax, IS indicated by a coali-
ton of the Democrats and some Of the
progressive Republicans" which became
known today.
The vote will be close, probably the
closest that will occur in the making of
the tariff bill.
The Democratic strength is thirty-one
votes, all pledged to support the amend
ment. Mr.. Bailey is counting upon six
teen or seventeen Republican votes for the
amendment. Fifteen would be sufficient
the amendment.
On the other hand, the conservative
Republicans" in charge of the tariff bill,
say they have made some inroads upon
the progressive" camp, and that upon
the question of referring the subject OF
for a report at the next regular session
they already have forty-five votes pledged
Until recently the Democrats and PRO
gressive Republicans were far apart over
the form of the bill. Senators Cummins
and BOrsh. who were the chief Repub-
lican advocates for an income tax IA
VOTed a graduated tax and opposed a tax
on corporations. As they surrendered
these contentious in order to get vote
it was said today that an agreement would
be reached upon the principal features oil
the Bailey amendment
The plan is to provide for flat tax OF
or 3 per cent upon Individual and cor
pOrate incomes above 5000. In order tha'
there shall be no double taxation pro
vision will be made for deductions where
the tax upon corporations has been palC

Denver, May IS.-The Tennessee tun-

CURED and there were no casualties.
The cavern occurred 1000 feet from
the portal Of the tunnel and extended
to a height of eighteen feet from the
bottom. The discovery of the cave-in
