SET FOR MONDAY

Senator Brown Of Nebraska. secured
an agreement In the Senate this morn
ing TO take d vote Monday at 1 O'Clock
on his joint resolution TO amend the
Constitution so as TO permit the levying
OF income taxes.
Senator Brown at first asked that the
resolution be taken up Immediately and
disposed of.

Jected 70 immediate consideration, and
also 10 q proposition to take q vote At
i o'clock this afternoon Finally. at the
suggestion of Senator Carter, Senator
Brown proposed a vote AT O'Clock
Monday afternoon and unanimous con-
sent was given TO this.
Senator McLauriu indicated that he
was disposed 10 oppose the joint resO-
luton. He said he did not believe any
amendment was necessary IN order to
levy an income tax, and that he thought
the effect Of passing a joint resolution
would be 10 defer the enactment Of any
income tax law.
Doubts Ratification.
he doubted whether three-fourths Of
the States would ratify the amendment
and thought that fact would be used
before the Supreme Court as an argu-
ment that Congress had no authority to
enact income tax legislation. He said
he did not know that he would vote
AGAINST the resolution, but ne wanted
time 10 consider Il.
No doubt Is felt that when the reso-
luton Is brought up Monday, IL will
be passed. The charge Of bad faith
with respect TO this resolution has been
made several times. and Senator Aid

Will Probably Return to the

Alva Williams came to Keokuk yes
terday morning on the Wabash and
will spend the week hunting on the
Mississippi in this vicinity. AT the
end of the week Williams will go to
Terre Haute and report for the COM
ing season. The former Keokuk
catcher expects to have better sea-
son than ever before and expresses
himself In excellent condition to play
good ball For some time Williams
held out for more money but differ.
ences between the two parties were
finally settled satisfactorily as stated
short time ago in this paper.
It Is back to the minor league for
Spencer The former Burlington and
Keokuk pitcher has been shifted from
Comiskey's first squad to his second
squad, and this is given as indication
that 1t will take another season for
him t. be of major league calibre.
Spencer may yet make good but the
dope" at the present time Is that he
will be retired to one of the minor
organizations to round out another
season of ball. 1t Is possible that
| Egan may secure the return of Spen-
Ger although nothing of this kind has
been sent out from the Burlington
camp.
Egan has completed his team by
the purchase of Maunsch from Mil
waukee for the cash sum of 5000. He
played with vicksburg in the Cotton
State league last year, hitting .2S1 and
stealing 80 bases. He was purchased

The Burlington Hawk-Eye contains
the following concerning William
Corners, the new Kewanee manager:
William Corners, who will lead the
Kewanee baseball team of the Cen
trail Association the coming season,
although one of the three new man.
ayers in the league this year, has al
ready become to be much feared
leader from reports that are finding
their way into the papers of the cir
cult. In Kewanee Corners is a COM
parative stranger, having never played
ball in that city, but just the same the
Boilermaker fans have not been a bit
slow in looking up the past history OF
the man who is to head the club. Con-
ners first broke into the ranks of pro-
fessional ball fourteen years ago, and
since that time has always been num-
bered with the top-notchers as hit
ter and a fielder. This can be proved
very quickly by referring to the back
numbers of the baseball guide.
When Mr.. Hayes, now at the head
of the Davenport club of the Three
Eye, heard that Kewanee had been
successful in getting Corners name
to a contract he said, Those lucky
Kewanee people-they have robbed
the Three-Eye league of the best
manager it ever had" The Davenport
MN is not alone in making such
statements, for Jack Thikht OF the
Rock Island club, has said that if
Corners does not finish, one, two, or
! three the Central ssociation then
he does not know ball player.
Kewanee in its first year had some
managerial experience that it will
never forget. The first man signed
came touted to the skies. He was an
untried product as leader, though a
cracking good ball player. The fans
took it upon themselves to have him
removed and one of the pitchers came
to the rescue and Immediately pulled
Kewanee out of the mire into which
it had been sinking SO fast, that had
the first manager been retained an
other month, the patronage would
have fallen to such an extent that
baseball would not have been pos
sible. "That experience ir good
teacher" is slogan that Kewanee
has built its hopes on for the coming
season, and when it was deemed
best to secure manager, at any cost
who could lead the Boiler Makers, the
. Kewanee directors threw their lines
to men who had had experience, ant
Corners name was proposed.
Connors' last season was will
Bloomington, the tow where he frs
broke into baseball. The past tw'
wears he has not been as successful
as in former years, for his hands wer
tied up to such an extent that he real
ly had no say, and the club owner
were tired of the proposition of tryin
to further boost the great nationa
game in the Three-Eye league city.
