INCOME TAX In
TARIFF BILL?
Combination Of Democrats
and Republicans Nay
Force it Through
By unIted Press &c So We


WASHINGTON, April IL That an
income tax to the tariff bill may be
adopted by the Senate is more than
a possibility. If 1t is. there is no
doubt that it will be accepted by tho
House. and viii be part Of the bill to
be presented for the approval Of the
President.
President Taft is already on record.
as favoring such tax, If il can be
so applied as to meet constitutional
objections. The best lawyers on botn
the Republican and Democratic side OF
the Senate are working on the PROPOSE
ton, and the prospects are that they
will be able to evolve n law on the
subject that will stand the test Of the
courts.
If the whole Democratic vote in the
Senate is cast in favor of an income
tax, as would seem to be promised by
the action of the two conferences of
that party this week. IL is claimed that
the amendment can be passed with
out question by the aid Of Republican
votes.
But il is to be remembered that the
Democratic caucus does not bind any
of the members. each reserving TO him
self the right TO cast his vote accord
ing TO his own ideas. A week ago,
there were several Democratic Sem
ators who expressed themselves in op-
position to an income tax. Whether the
weight of party opinion will induce
them to change their attitude, now
that it has been determined to make
this tax a party measure. remains to
be seen.
A Republican who has been studying
the situation, claims that II all the
Democratic votes can be counted upon
an income tax proposition Of some
character can readily be written into
the bill He figures that there are
at least twenty Republicans who viii
vote for satisfactory amendment or
/ this subject He gives the following
names as being reasonably sure:
Senators-Borah, Of Idaho; Bourne
/ of Oregon; Bradley, OF Kentucky
Bristow, of Kansas: Brown. of Ne.
| braska Burkett. Of Nebraska: Clapp
| of Minnesota: Crawford. OF South Da.
/ kota: Cummins. Of Iowa: Curtis. OF
! Kansas: Dixon, of Montana; Dolliver
of Iowa; Gamble. of South Dakota
Johnson, of North Dakota Jones. oi
Washington; Lafollette. OF Wisconsin
/ McCumber. OF North Dakota; Nelson
Of Minnesota; Piles of Washington
and Smith. of Michigan.
Besides these, Beveridge. OF Indiana
Warner, of Missouri. and Burton. o
Ohio. are believed to be disposed (,
support an income tax, II they car
be persuaded that it is so applied a.
to meet the constitutional objections
of the Supreme Court.
These votes would be more thar
enough to carry the amendment. if th'
! Democrats stick together. IL look
now as though it depended upon them
as to whether a tax shall he put oi
incomes or not.

HUNDREDS SLAIN IN
ASIA MINOR RIOTING
BY United Press Leased Special Wire

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
CONTANTINOPLE April 17.-Gen-
eral Izzet Fuad, assistant minister of
war under the new bureau chief, Ed
hem Pasha was murdered last even
ing, the news of the crime being made
public today. No particulars have
been learned. II is supposed that Fuad
was slain by soldiers, who are violent
ly opposed to Edhem Pasha, as head
Of the war ministery. The soldiers
asked for the appointment of Nazim
Pasha, at the time Edhem was named
Rioting in Asia Minor.
The British consulate at Adana and
Major Doughty -Wylie, the British vice.
consul at Mersina, have been wounded
in the rioting that has ragged in this
section Of Asia Minor for the last As
hours according TO a report that has
Just reached here.
The latest reports says that $500
people have been slain, in Adana, and
Mersina, and that the massacre of
Christians is spreading to other towns
and is likely to swep over all Asia
Minor A large part of Adana has been
burned and the Mohammedan fanatics
are applying the torch in other towns.
Several English. German and Amer
lean residents in Adana are among the
killed an dwounded it is reported, but
no definite information Is obtainable.
1t has not yet been possible to learn
the names Of the two American mis-
sionaries who are reported TO have
been slain at Adana. The report still
lacks official confirmation.
So many wild stores are coming from
Adana and Mersina, that il will prob
ably be several days before an accur-
ate statement Of conditions there could
be obtained.
Business at Stand Still.
Business in Constantinople continues
at a dead standstill. Hundreds of prom
inent citizens have fled the country
Soldiers of the Sultan are numbering
Young Turks wherever the latter are
found. In many cases the homes OF
Young Turks have been broken into and
the men of the household slain without
a chance for their lives. 1t is impos-
sible to state the number OF such MUIR
ders as no report is made of them.
The Sultan is greatly disturbed over
: the reports from Adana, and Mersina as
he fears the slaughter of Christian,
will cause the powers TO interfere. Ht
has ordered all available troops to rush
to the scene and put down the riot al
any cost.
The Europeans in Asia Minor are
clamoring for the foreign powers e
hasten warships TO the scene as the
only means of preventing a massacre
that will stand out as the darkest bio
in the history of this bloodstainec
country.
The slaughter of the last two days
really began at Tarsus and has beer
confined almost exclusively to th'
Christian Armenians.
Conflicting reports have reached here
regarding the fate of Enver Bey th'
Young Turks leader. One says that h'
was arrested while enroute from Ber

has him arriving safely in Salonica, anC
