Vote on Income Tax.

Washington, July 4 1t was neat.s
ly agreed in the senate today to vote
on both the income tax and: corp0s
ration tax amendments next Tues
day. The compact was prevented
by the objection of Senator Buckley
Of Connecticut, which created mo
little dissatisfaction. For time
the proceedings took the form az aE
general pow-wow- in which half =
dozen senators tried to- hold tho
floor at the same time. The ma
jority OF the senator's present d..
sired to vote on both propositions
Tuesday. Buckley was obdurate,s n
because he expected to be away. xItss
colleagues are inciined to- think
that he will change his mind befofej
Saturday and give his consent thats
the matter be cleared up Tuesday.
Senator Root spoke for the cor
.poration tax and Senator Borahs|
against 1t today. Other speakers
for the income tax were Senator'S
Clapp and Owen.
About the capitol lobby today
were heard many suggestions for
postponing action on both the in-!
come and corporation tar questions
until the next session of congress-.
While the members OF both houses
are tired and the weather Ii ex-sS
ceedingly hot and all would ~
for adjournment, there seems tn i4As
one to take the lead and fofmnlGtSS
a plan Of postponement. Republic
can leaders are afraid Of Offending
the administration II they openly
favor an, adjournment without act
ing on the presidents suggestions.

is said, the shocks this morning
were greater in their severity than
the fatal ones Of last December. Be

A number of casualties occurred,

One woman was killed by falling

Messina, which, since the earth

Representative from China Meets
Rapid City Ladies' and Gives
Interesting Talk.


Yesterday afternoon at the Bap-
tist Mission Circle, at the home
Mrs. E. H. swander, Miss Edna Dale,
of Wuwu. China, was greeted by a
large number Of ladies from the
various missionary societies in the
city. Miss Dale is possessed of a
pleasing personality and everyone
present enjoyed her talk.
Miss Dale opened by saying that
she would speak OF some Of the
things that keep China back. First
is the foot binding, which is an old
custom, and because Of its being
the custom is exceedingly hard to
do away with. 1t is generally be-
lieved that because the Empress
Dowager issued an edict against
foot binding that 1t has been largely
done away with. but this is mis-
take. The government is against
1t, but custom is hard to break. The
government Is coming to see that the
women must be educated and ele-
waited II they are to improve. In
the schools instituted by the mis-
sionaries the foot binding is not
practiced, and whenever possible the
poor, little, disfigured feet are re-
stored as much as possible to their
normal condition.
Girls there when they marry have
as large a dowry as their parents
condition will justify. Early mar
rinsoS, is not common, that is, not
before sixsssn. although early be-
trothals are com... =. and sometimes
the little girl goes to uss ar future
mother-in-law's drudge from the
time She is betrothed.
The poor women have many more
privileges than the wealthy. In that
they are not so secluded.
China is a nation of gamblers.
but it is not an Incorporate nation.
Opium is the fearful curse, and 1t
is England's shame that she forced
her opium trade upon the Chinese
until forty per cent are users Of
the drug. The government is working
against it. and is struggling to free
her people. She is no longer sleep
ing nation, and they are after edu-
cation. All China is open to the
gospel. but 1t is hard to overcome
prejudice. More money is needed,
and the native Christians put this
country to shame when the amount
OF their gifts for the gospel is con-
sidered.
Miss Dale showed many curiosities
she brought with her, and also some
very beautiful Chinese work that
she has for sale. She invited ques-
tions and many took advantage Of
asking her what they wished to
know. At the close Of the talk Mrs.
Swander served ice cream and cake.
being assisted by Mrs. L. Carey.
Mrs. F. Schackelford, Mrs. III. e.

ranch at Canyon Lake, about four
miles above the city. Mr.. Perry
has been about two weeks looking
the field over and had concluded TO
go to Piedmont and start an in.
dustry there, when by accident he
met Tom Sweeney. A few moments
conversation satified Mr.. Sweeney
that Mr.. Perry was too good a prop-
osition to let go, so he busted him
self in Mr.. Perry's interest and
brought Mr.. Bennett and the man
agement of the r. c., B. H. G W..
line together. AS the result OF sew
aral days of prospecting Mr.. Perry
decided to locate here.
A large acreage has been obtained
and the work of building kiln will
be commenced within a few days.
Later on stucco will be manufacture
ed and the plant increased from
time to time as the business de-
velops.
Mr.. Perry is thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with the business upon which
he is embarking and represents
eastern South Dakota capital. The
company which will operate the
plant will be Incorporated under the
laws of South Dakota and will be
known as the Rapid City Lime and

 There was a noticeable disposition on the part of the "stand-patters" We'd nesday, following their conference with President Taft Tuesday, to ac- cede to the wishes of those who have opposed any "gag-rule" which would prevent a vote on certain important schedules. The ways and means com mittee have agreed 10 submit amend merits to the bill wh.ca will keep tea on the free list. str e O.; the counter yailing duty on coffoe and make the rate on barley 25 cents bushel.
 It was said Wearesday that Presi- dent Taft had been directly appealed to by Speaker Cannon and Leaders Payne and Dalzell Tuesday when they spent more than an hour and half with the chief executive at the White house. The tactics of the insurgents are worrying the leaders to even a greater degree than they are willing to admit, and 1t is to bring these Ire, eaIcitrants" into line that the presi- dents aid has been sought.
