"SUNNY Jim" FOR GOVERNOR?

If the capitol furnishes a candi-
date for the republican nomination
for governor. he is likely to come out
of the Office of the secretary of state,
after all. It is understood that Julius
Schmahl has given up the idea of
becoming a candidate himself, but
political aspirations are said to be
forming in the mind of James A..
Larson, the assistant secretary. The
Walnut Grove man is Scandina-
Wan, good speaker and his friends
are asking, why not ?''-Minne-
apolis Tribune.
1t is quite generally known that
the secretary of state has decided to
again be a candidate for reelection,
and has brushed away the guberna-
torial bee that was being "shooed" in
his direction by a number of his
personal friends.
James A. Larson, the deputy
secretary of state, is known in this
section. He spoke at the county
fair here, two years ago, and made
a decided hit by his boost" of what
he had seen at the fair, as to our
agricultural resources. He would
undoubtedly make good impressio n
up this way.
The writer knows James A. Lar
son best as the typical Sunny Jim"
Courteous, affable, and of a most
genial disposition, he fits the name

fore Interstate Commerce Commits
sioners Harlan and Clark. Glen w.

Mr.. Trainer told of the holdings of

There is no question but what
the range counties are going to get

Aldrich Accepts the Brad
ley Amendment.
NO OTHER CHANGE MADE
Balance of Tobacco Schedule Is
r Adopted as Reported by the Senate
Finance Committee-AiI Attempts
to Amend the Corporation Tax Pro-
vision Fail and It Is Adopted as Ap-
proved by Committee Of the Whole.

Washington, July 9.-The final
hours of the senate debate on the tar
if bill were devoted to the corpora
ton tax amendment and the tobacco
schedule. The former was adopted
as reported, but the tobacco schedule
was amended by removing the cents
pound tax on leaf tobacco. All other
amendments were defeated.
The uncompleted corporation tax
provision was the first subject of the
days consideration and Senator Dan
lei resumed his speech. He promised
not to speak for more than fifteen
minutes. His remarks were in defense
of his amendment levying a tax Of
one-quarter of per cent on the gross
receipts of corporations having a cap
ital stock of more than 100000.
The Daniel amendment was defeat
ed and other amendments to the cor
poration tax amendment we're quickly
disposed of In the same way. Sen
ator Gore wanted the tax on national
banks turned into the treasury as
part of special safety fund to reim-
burse depositors of insolvent banks.
Mr.. Newlands wanted the tax to ap-
ply only to corporations with gross
receipts of more than $250,000.
II move to lay on the table," was
tho 0r1xy Nv, ,io1,~ T.,
these suggestions and without encoun-
tering further: resistance that course
was adopted. The corporation tax
amendment as perfected by the COM
mittee was then agreed to and MI.
Aldrich announced that, with the ex-
ception of the tobacco tax, the bill
was perfected so far as committee
amendments were concerned.
Tax on Stock Sales Voted Down.
Mr.. Bacon, for his colleague, Mr..
Clay, offered an amendment to the bill
providing for special tax on stock
exchange sales and for the regulation
of such sales. It was voted down, al
to "a.
AC SoOc1S\o Cc]A chIuCuuuIo1lL WCS
laid before the senate after the dis
posal of the other measures. Mr.. Mar
tin protested against it as carrying a
large increase Of taxation on the to-
bacco industry. 1t was, he said, an
increase of 33 per cent of the tax on
manufactured tobacco and he predict
ed that it would bring into the treas
ury $10,0O0,0OO additional revenue.
Mr.. Simmons On. CO. also opposed
the increase.
BY "a to 81 an amendment by Mr..
Daniel to reduce the tax on tobacco
from 8, cents to cents a pound was
rejected.
The senate then accepted Senator
Bradley's amendment permitting to-
bacco growers to sell their products
without the payment of tax. The
measure is practically the same as
that which passed the house. It re-
moves the tax of 6 cents a pound on
the tobacco grower as a vendor and
thus removes what is supposed to be
the cause Of the night rider attacks in
Kentucky and Tennessee. There is
| little doubt that the provision will re-
main in the bill. The tobacco tax
schedule as a whole was then adopted
| by the senate.

Ella GingIes Relates Sensational Epl-
code Alleged to Have Occurred In
Bathroom Of Chicago Hotel-Scores
Of Women and Even schoolgirls
Flock to the Courtroom, but Many
Are Turned Away.
Chicago, July THE sensational
incident of the Wellington hotel bath
room was reached in the trial of Ella
Glngles. For the time being Assist
ant States Attorney Shorts cross-ex-
animation of the young Irish lace
maker, accused of theft of lace from
her employer, Miss Agnes Barrette,
was suspended and the direct exam
nation by her attorney, P. Fl. O'Don-
nell, was resumed. This was done
after conference of counsel with the
court. Mr.. O'DonneN, it was an
nounced by Judge Brentano, would be
allowed to question Miss Gingles in
the freest manner to bring out the
story of her life. The purpose of this,
1t was stated, was to allow the prose
cution to cross-examine the young de-
PENDANT. <a.s.
: Scores Of women and even school
girls were turned away from the
courtroom. Judge Brentano comment
ed on the presence of women and
girls in the face of published state
ments showing that much of the testi-
mony in the case is unfit for publica-
ton. He threatened to photograph
every woman present. At once sew
eral Of them fled from the place.
The cross-examination, before being
suspended, was brought up to Feb.
16, when Miss Gingles was found
bound and gagged in public bath
room at the Wellington hotel. She
claimed at that time to have been the
victim of mysterious attack. How
ever, the bathroom was found locked
from the inside and there were many
other details throwing doubt on the
story.
Tells Of Bathroom Incident.
On direct examination Miss Gingles
related in detail the bathroom Incl.
dent She had gone to the hotel, she
said, to collect some money due her
from Miss Arnold. Going to the lat
ter's room she was met by man
who, she said, told her Miss Arnold
was in the bathroom. According to
Miss Gingles' story the man followed
her to the bathroom.
"He put something burning on my
face" she said, land I don't remem-
Der anything more until Miss Barrette
and another woman came in. I was
undressed except for a nightgown.
My head hurt in the back and when
they went out of the bathroom I
reached over and picked up my purse.
/ found an envelope and wrote on it
"Come quick. Ella" I addressed it
to Miss Joyce, put stamp on it and
threw it out of the transom."
At this point in her story Miss Gin
giles nearly broke down and tears
streamed down her cheeks. After re-
gaining her composure she continued
the story of her alleged ill treatment,
but the testimony is unprintable.
!. Miss Gingles declared she sustained
twenty-three wounds as result of
her experience and she showed the
jury the scars on her arms and one
on her head just above the right eye.
She declared she had never recovered
the lingerie taken from her at the
time and explained that the door OF
the bathroom was found locked on
the inside because the man left by
way Of the transom.
