TAFT INFLUENCE KNOCKS OUT
 INCOME TAX

Washington, June 15.-with the full support of President Taft, who has abandoned for this occasion his hands
 of" attitude toward Congress, Sena-
 tor Aidrich on Friday twill try to post pone indefinitely final consideration of the income tax amendments by offer ing a constitutional amendment de- claring it within the power of Con- gress to levy an income tax The in-
 huepce the Administration is using is telling heavily on doubtful advocates or the income tax, and the insurg- ents and real supporters of the levy believe that their position is desper- ate. The question win come up Fri day under an order of the Senate adopted June Il.
 The proposed constitutional amend ment will be offered along with the 2 per cent. tax on corporate dividends, which the Senate leaders did not feel strong enough to dispense with as a concession. The definite end to all hope for an income tax for a long number of years is pointed out in the fact that under favorable circWnstan- ces two years are required to enact a constitutional amendment, and that with things as they now are 1t is be- lieved to be impossible to get the consent of the Legislatures of three fourths of the States to the amend ment-- The insurgents declare the if adopted will give no authority not already clearly within the powers of Congress.
 In spite of the Presidents repeated refusal to interfere with the tariff his hand has been the de- termining factor in solving the i'm come tax snarl in favor of Senator AL drich, according to the freely express ed opinions of the income tax support CTS. Within the last two or three days MT. Taft has gone so far as to have at least four of the doubtful Sem ators summoned to the White House. where he argued against the consti- tutionality of the tax, the advisability of pushing it now. and the wisdom of skipping the Supreme Court in the face" by overriding its compar atively recent decision.

stop the horse, and just as he had it
under control, the buggy collided with
a heavily loaded wagon and threw him
out. The horse continued west on Sew
enth street and ran over woman who
was crossing the street near the post

TELEPATHY FAILS TO
WORK ON BROWNE
PASSES TRIED BY UNKNOWN
TO NO PURPOSE
Newspaper Clipping is Only Clew to
Visitor Who Called on Dis
trlct Attorneys De-
tective

S. L. Browne, chief of the district
attorneys criminal bureau, sat in his
office yesterday, wondering why the dis
trict attorney had failed to again file
charges against the Edendale Spiritual
lists, discharged a week ago by Justice
Ling because of a defect in the COM
plants.
Apparently the Spiritualists also were
wondering what was to be done, or il
may have been the result of a mental
suggestion, or telepathy, transmitted
from the detectives mind to the
cerebral apparatus of one of their num-
Der that brought her into Browne
presence.
The woman was dressed in black and
her face was filled with the sadness
that comes from listening to other peo-
pies troubles. She regarded the detec-
tive intently, then closed her eyes and
pressed her hands to her temples.
"You are Mrs. Browne" she an
nounced trimuphantly.
"WeH, I'm not denying 1t, am I?''
aueried the discovered.
Another pressure of the temples ana
the woman told Browne his first name
was Sam" Browne did not deny the
assertion, which came like an accusa-
tion, but wanted to know what 1t was
all about.
"Ah, can see so many things that
are hidden from you" she said.
A third pressure and the woman
squeezed out the information that the
name of a young woman in the office
was Miss Hitchcock, which was cor
rect.
Browne refused to become sufficiently
mystified, and the woman left. AS the
door closed the detective picked up
from the floor a newspaper clipping
containing the names OF hllnseli ahd
Miss Hitchcock in connection with a
raid on the spiritualists' camp several
weeks ago.
