NEARLY AGREED TO

Washington, June 26.-Conferees on
the census bill were in session prac-
tically all day but did not come to a
full agreement on the differences on
the bill.
The only question which remains to
be settled is connected with the gath
ering of statistics in the turpentine
districts of the south. 1t is expected
another meeting will be held today
to determine this question.
One of the principal points of diff
ference related to the provision made
for the extension of the quarters in
Washington for the census bureau.
The amendment providing for the &C
QUESTION of site and the construc-
ton of new building was stricken
out of the bill and the director was

Il YEAR OLD LAD
cONFESSEl MDRDt R
SHOT LITTLE BROTHER AFTER
QUARREl-BURiE BODY
I'm THE SAND.

Modesto, Cal, June 26-Twelve
year old Cecil Hopkins, self-confessed
slayer of his six year old brother,
Theodore, made statement to the
coroner yesterday that strengthens
that officials belief that the victim
was buried alive on the hill where his
body was found Thursday.
According to his story he killed
Theodore while his parents were alb
sent from home. The two quarreled
over luncheon and Cecil drove IS
brother from the house and shot him,
Fearing the consequences of his
deed when his parents should return,
he dug a grave in the sand. While
the grave was being dug, Cecil said
that Theodore moaned and once
stretched his arms.
The cramped position of the arms
and the fact that the victims mouth
was filled with sand adds to the the
DRY that the child was buried alive.

WRIT OF DIVORCE
AND $36,6OO A YEAR
MRS. HOWARD GOULD vIcTORI-
Gus IN HER SUIT FOR
SEPARATION.
DECLARES SHE'S HAPPlEST WO-
MAN ON EARTH-CLAIMS
INDICATION.

New York, June 26-After trial
which lasted nearly three weeks,
Katherine Clemmons Gould obtained
legal separation from her husband,
Howard Gould, by decision of JUS
tice Bowling in the supreme court
yesterday. With the exception OF
alimony, her victory was complete,
but in this phase of the case, the
court decided that $4,000 a year was
sufficient, although in her suit Mrs.
Gould asked for $250,000. She has
been. receiving $4,000 year from
Mr.. Gould so that the amount fixed
by the court is but slight increase
compared with the amount sued for.
1t was in the vindication of the
charges of intoxication and her al
legged relations with Dustin Farnum
that Mrs. Gould scored most strong
ly, for Notwithstanding the long array
of witnesses for Mr.. Gould who gave
such testimony as to make Mrs. Gould
appear at times as the defendant
rather than the plaintiff, the court
utiu lHe dlIeSeu lHIoAlCdtloH might
have been due to excitement AS to
Dustin Farnum, it was held that her
association with him came after the
separation and the husband apparent
ly made no objection.
Immediately after the decision, De
Lancey Nicoll, for Mr. Gould, asked
for a sixty days stay of judgment
Clarence j. Shearn, for the plaintiff,
objected. He asked immediate judg-
ment Justice Bowling compromised
by making the stay thirty days.
Shearn then asked for an extra al
lowance for counsel fees and the
court gave him $4,000. This together
with $4,000 allowed recently and the

SENATOR CRAWFORD SAYS ITS
PROTECTION GONE
MAD.

Washington, June 26.-Yesterday
was another of the senate's active
working days, and by the time the
session closed at o'clock, so many
schedules had been considered and
disposed of that Mr. Aldrich freely
predicted that by tonight all of them
would be out of the way, leaving the
senate free to begin consideration OF
the corporation tax and income tax
amendments at the commencement or
proceedings next week and to follow
these with the administrative feat
ures of the bill.
Beginning the days session with an
increase of five per cent. over the
house rate of So per cent. ad valorem
on harness, the senate marched stead
lily along throughout nine hours OF
its sitting, indulging in very little
speech making and acting upon many
important provisions. Among the
changes made were:
An increase of duty on scrap iron

original allowance of $4,000 will bring
his fees to $4,000, with an additional
sum of $4,000 for expenses.
Friends of Mrs. Gould began to
crowd about herd as soon as the de
cision was announced. She had been
somewhat lonely during the trial, but
after the verdict, she was kept busy
receiving congratulations
As the decision was read, she kept
her head cast down, and seemed plain
ly disappointed by the allowance. As
soon as the case closed, however, she
shook hands warmly with Mr. Shearn
and thanked him for his conduct of
her case. Then she beamed upon her
friends and even smiled upon the
downcast trio of lawyers who had
fought for her husbands interests.
Howard Gould hurried from the
room as soon as the decision was
given, and declined to discuss the
case. Mrs. Gould left the court
with Attorny Shearn and drove away
in an automobile.
Mr.. Shearn was jubilant at the de-
cision and pronounced it a sweeping
and complete vindication of Mrs.
Gould. He said she could have COM
promised for fortune at any time
but would never consider for mo-
ment anything but the opportunity of
clearing her name in an open, public
trial" He added that either party in
the suit could still bring action for
absolute divorce. Mrs. Gould's dowry
right in Howard Gould's real property
amounts to $3,000,000, he said, and
was unaffected by the separation.
Mrs. Gould issued the following
statement:
II am the happiest woman living
because I have been so completely
indicated before the entire world of
all those horrible charges. Not one
little pang shot through my heart at
the smallness of the allowance-on1y
the supreme joy and deepest graft
tude. I send thousand loving thanks
to all who have helped me-"

Washington, June 26.-Presidenr
Tafts much heralded corporation tax
plan was presented to the senate by
Mr.. Aldrich, chairman of the finance
committee, and ordered printed as
committee amendment to the tariff
bill. If the schedules are completed by
Monday the corporation tax amend
ment will then be taken up and held
before the senate until final dispose
ton is made OF it and of amendments
on the Subject of direct tax on in
comes.
In general form the corporation tax
measures follow the outline given by
the Associated Tress after the confer
ence at the white house on Tuesday
night when the subject was consld-
cred by the president, lawyers OF MS
cabinet and senate and house re-
publican leaders. AS drafted by At
torney General Wickersham and Sen
ator Root the measure is believed to
be amendment proof and an effort
will be made TO put it through con-

given an exemption of $4,000 of earn

All of the machinery relating to
the collection remission and refund
of internal taxes is made applicable
to the corporation tax and the re-
sponsibility for the enforcement of
the proposed law rests with the COM
missioner of internal revenue in the
same manner as other internal taxes.
