CONFESSION OF CHAIRMAN OF
FINANCE COMMITTEE TEXT
IN TIE DISCUSSION.

washington, June 3O.-The income tax
was practically the subject, and Sena-
tors Cummins Of Iowa and Borah OF
Idaho the only speakers before the SEN
ate today.
Mr.. Borah was heard toward the close
NJ the session, when the Iowa senator
Welded the floor, which he had held
since Yesterday. He took for his text
the declaration made yesterday by Sem
ator Aljrich that he would vote for the
corporation tax amendment only as a
means of defeating the income tax, and
without resorting to personalities, he
criticised the position of the chairman
NJ the finance committee, who had pre-
sented the corporation tax amendment
10 the senate. Mr.. Cummins also paid
his respects to Mr.. Aldrich on account
Of his avowaL
CummIns Began at Once.
Mr.. Cummins took the floor as soon as
a quorum could be obtained soon after
10 o'clock. and with a brief intermis-
sion for luncheon, an innovatiO IN the
senate, he held 1t until 4:30 o'clock in
the afternoon.
Much of the time today was devoted
to the consideration of the nations
finances. but considerable attention was
also given to the general merits of a
tax on incomes, which Mr. Cummins de-
Tended as the most rational, because the
most Just of all taxes.
Estimating the total revenues under
the AldTiCh-Payne bill at $3.50, 900, 900,
and those to be derived from the inter-
nal revenue at $24O. 900 900, ne predicted
that at the end of the fiscal year, 1911,
there would be a deficit of not less than
SIZE, 900 900. He therefore cOntended that
the amendment Of the tariff bill by the
adoption Of an income tax was neces-
gary in order to produce sufficient rev.
eHue for conducting the business of the
government.
Sure to Be Beaten.
Mr. Cummins said if the finance COM
mlttee's resolution. providing for the
submission to the states of a constitu-
tional amendment for an income tax,
should be presented to the senate he
W0Gld vote for the amendment, but not
with any hope of its success. He did
not doubt that there would be enough
interest manifested against it to OBJ
tain adverse votes in a sufficient num-
Der Of states to defeat the proposition.
The senate, at $50 o'clock, adjourned.

ALSO A SUCCESS
Heavier Than-Air Flying Ma
chine Lifts Itself With
Operator Aboard.

Washington, June 80.-For the first
time in America, a helicoptre, a heavier
than-air type of flying machine, which
depends on aerial screws for its lifting
powers, has successfully lifted itself
with an operator. A machine built by
]. Newton Williams of Derby, Conn,
and Emile Berliner Of this city, lifted
Mr.. Williams from the ground on three
occasions. The experiment was made
a day or two ago at Mr.. Berliner's lab
oratory at Britwood, q suburb of this
city. The only other machine that is
known to have made a similar perform
ance is that Of NJ. COrnu, a French in
ventor. Scientists have always had
great respect for the helicoptre type Of
flying machine.
Total Weight About 600 Pounds.
The Williams helicoptre with the op-
orator weighs about 500 pounds, and has
a lifting surface of only eighty square
feet. This surface consists Of two pairs
Of propellers revolving horizontally in
opposite directions at the end of a YER
teal shaft. The prOpellers are eight
feet, eight inches in diameter In the
successful experiments the machine was
so confined that it could not rise more
than ten inches, but it rose to that
height.
In previous experiments the Williams
machine had risen without an operator,
and it has moved rapidly along a track
in tests. The forward motion is OBJ
tanned by the operator shifting his pO-
sitiOn forward.
Two revolving motors of thirty-six
horsepower each are used, but it is in
tended to use only one motor from
which it is expected greater power will
be derived. It is also expected to reduce
the weight of the complete machine
without the operator to 325 pounds. 1t
now weighs $50 pounds. Mr.. Beriiner
has left for Europe, but the work of
preparing the new meter will proceed.

A letter from Chung Sin written since

that the murder was done by one man,

should be held. denounces the authOri-
ties and implOres the aid of all members

The police believe little reliance can
be placed in any of the various rewards
