INCOME TAX FIGHT
CHARGED THAT LOBBYISTS ARE PAID BY MILLIONARES TO DEFEAT AMENDMENT IN
 GEORGIA

Atlanta Ga, Aug. 5.-The proposed income tax amendment to the Uniteo States Constitution recently passed py Congress and transmitted to the states for ratification will be considered by the Georgia Senate today and the ln- dications are that a bitter debate Will result. There is said to be strong op- position to the amendment and 1t is alleged its defeat is not impossible.
 When the income tax amendment was transmitted to the Senate 1t was pigeonholed by reference to the Ju- dietary Committee, as it was sug- gested that Georgia might, decide to impose an income tax for State pur- poses.
 Friends of the amendment, realiz- ing that it meant it's death, succeeded in taking it from committee and mak- ing 1t a special order for today. Dur ing the debate Senator Perry charged that a lobby is at work to defeat the income tax amendment. Perry alleges that these lobbyists are being paid by multi-millionaires of the country who are resolved to defeat the amendment
 The opposition to the amendment is considered remarkable, in view of nu- merous declarations in State Demo- cratic platforms declaring for an in come tax

Litchfield County News.
For Loss of Husband.


 In spite of the fact that Coroner Higgins of Winsted rendered verdict in the case of Andrew Coltes last June that death was due to natural causes the Hungarian societies of Torrington have taken up the matter and are said to be backing Mrs. Coltes his widow. in a damage suit against Mrs. Karl Moczkowski for 5000 for the loss of her husband. The theory Of the compliments is that Mrs. Mocz- kowski invited Coltes to her home where she was to permanently cure his rheumatism, and that he died the first night as the result of medicine administered by her. Mrs. Moczkow- ski will, 1t is understood, deny that she gave him any Snedicine.

Pennsylvania Democrats
 Favor an Income Tax

Harrisburg, Penn, Aug. 5.-1n the Democratic State Convention held here yesterday, a harmony unusual in Democratic gatherings prevailed. The following ticket to be voted for in November was nominated:
 Associate Justice of the Supreme Court-C. Larue Munson of Williams port.
 State Treasurer-Congressm Geo. w. Kipp of Towanda-
 Auditor General-J. Wood Clark of Indiana
 The convention was called to order by State Senator Dewalt, Chairman or the State Committee, and Congress man A. Mitchell Palmer, of Strouds- burg was unanimously selected as Chairman.
 The platform adopted condemned ''as an imposition upon the consum- CT and wage earner the pending tar if law passed by the House of Rep resent atives, and declared that its the promises of the Republican Party and it's platform and framed for the benefit of special interest and against those who purchase the necessaries Of life"
 It declared also for the establish ment of a permanent and expert Tar if Commission, whose tenure of of flee shall be so fixed as to not be subject to political influence or whfm, and whose duties shall be advisory to Congress in regard to changes in ex- isting tariff laws in order that the tar if system may be expertly eQual1Zed and necessary alterations made from time to time, as existing conditions demand without subjecting the entire system to reconstruction, which all ways brings business depression and financial disaster
 Another plank declared: we favor an income tax as part of our revenue system, and declare for the proposed Constitutional amendment specifically authorizing Congress to levy and to collect such a tax upon individual and corporate incomes.'

 Heffin repeated the epithet and at the same time sprang for the automo- bile drivers throat. He was doing an effective job at choking his adver- sary when Representative James and Clayton of Alabama separated the men.

There is evidently a predisposition

without trouble: Ask for " o.

good-sized, clean bottle. Simply take
this mixture after every meal and
at bedtime, one teaspoonful to the

Dieting need not worry you in the

CASES DECIDED
IN CIRCUIT COURT

Yesterday afternoon Judge Gallo
way, in the circuit court, refused u
strike out the answer OF the oregon
Electric Railroad company to the
company agreed to stop cars at a
the railroad company to compel them
to perform a contract in which the
compny agreed to stop care at a
designated point on the Ford ranch
for the privilege of a right-of-way
through the property. In the answer
which Judge Galloway sustained,
the company claims that to stop cars
at the point on the Ford ranch regu-
larly would not be of any conven-
fence to the public. Judge Galloway
held that as a common carrier the
oregon Electric would virtually be
mountaineering the public by stop
ping cars on the Ford ranch, owing
to the loss of time.
Judge Galloway heard and decid-
ed several other cases yesterday. The
injunction suit of Edward A. Dunna-
gan VS.. Amer Wood was decided in
favor of the plaintiff, neither party
to recover costs or disbursements
from each other. The attorney for
the defendant gave an oral notice of
appeal
In the case of j. X. Sears VS.. Geo.
A. Steel, state treasurer, which was
decided by Judge Galloway in favor
of the plaintiff yesterday, oral notice
was given by attorneys for the state
of an appeal to the supreme court.

sion in the partition case OF Lafay-

In which stipulation was sustained

pard and N. 9. Loran were appoint

Seattle. June Ex-Governor j. N.
GilTett of California, who has been
in Seattle several days visiting the
exposition, left this afternoon for
Portland, where he expects to spend
Thursday and then proceed TO Sac
ramento. The governor said today
that he considered the exposition a
crowning success and that he had
greatly enjoyed his visit to Seattle
In discussing questions affecting
the welfare of the Pacific coast, Gov
ernor Gillett said:
We should wipe out the state line
idea. and with one vast empire, ex-
tending from Mexico to the Arctic
ocean, bend every effort to influence
the general government to come to
the aid OF the shipping industry on
the Pacific coast.
What we need is a ship subsidy
law or the enactment of other laws
which would have the same effect.
We cannot compete with foreign
countries trading on the Pacific,
which grant large subsidies. and at
once expect to build up an American
commerce in American bottoms. We
must ask congress TO help us. To
this end every state on the coast
should pull together"
The governor also expressed him
self as heartily i'm favor of the per-
manent assigning of Pacific squad
ron OF war vessels TO protect the coast
line.
