TO the natural precipitation TO learn
that considerable portion ot the win

the soil below the depth Of eight feet ia
something Of a surprise. 70 has been
supposed that very little Of thc winter

The figures FOR an irrigated farm are

THE WoLLEN SCHEDULE.

Washington, D. C., June 9.--The wooden schedule was still under con- sideration in the senate today when the usual recess for dinner was taken. The committee amendment increasing the house rate on wool top waste and other wastes from 20 cents per pound to 30 cents per pound was adopted by vote or 40 to 30. This was a finance com mittee change and the committee SCOT ed its usual majority.
 Speeches were mad during the day by Messrs. Warren and LaFOllette the former advocating a generally increas- ed duty, while the latter contended for a general reduction. The two senators engaged in a sharp controversy during which MT LaFollette said he expected further recruits to his belief from the eastern senators.
 Probably the most interesting devel- opment of the day was a declaration by Mir. Deliver that a rag trust existed. The Iowa senator was contradicted by MT Warren.
 MT LaFollette occupied the entire night session without concluding his speech. When the senate adjourned at 1O:25 o'clock the wooden schedule had not been disposed of.

INCOME TAX
 OR NOTHING "A Suggestion From White
 House DisregaPded IN INTEREST 0F HARMONY
It Was Requested That a Cor poration Tax Be Substitu- ted---The Fight Will Now Proceed on the Cummins Amendment.

Washington, D. C., June 9.-After a conference at the White House yes terday between President Taft and Senator Aldrich it was stated that the finance committee would consent to placing per cent tax upon the net earnings of corporations if the sup porters of the income tax amendments would accept it and withdraw their proposition. This suggestion, it is de- clared, came from President Taft and was designed to prevent a split in the republican party over the income tax feature.
 MT. Aldrich communicated the plan to Messrs. Cummins and Borah, leaders of progressive republicans" who have favored the Cummins income tax amendment. These senators consulted with their colleagues and the plan was repudiated by them, as it was by the republican leaders opposed to the in come tax idea
 By order of the senate the income tax will come up tomorrow for a vote but in view of the unsettled condition. a motion will be made to postpone ac- ton. So far as the pending tariff bill is concerned. some of the republican leaders fear any plan to tax the net earnings of corporations might be hail. ed as democratic idea for the reason that Senator Daniel has pending an amendment to do that very thing.

LAKE POURING THROUGH
 THE CANADIAN CANAL
CREATING FALLS AND A GIANT
 WHIRLPOOL
Damage to the Waterway and Wreck
 ed Steamer $35o,ooo.

Sault Ste. Marie, June 9.-With all the weight of lake Superior behind it, an ungoverned torrent of water rush ed tonight through the s4,OO0,OO0 Ca nadian canal built to carry vessels around the impossible rapids of St. Marys river.
 The entire fall of approximately twenty feet is concentrated in the lock which was wrecked today when the steamer Perry G. Walker of the Gilchrist fleet rammed her bow through the lower gate. The canal showed within it's walls this evening a tremendous spectacle including two waterfalls and a giant whirlpool.
 The ore-laden steamer, Crescent City, of ~the Pittsburg Steamship company, which was just entering the locks from Lake Superior when the accident occurred, was swept down stream like a feather. She overlook the Assiniboia and struck the latter two glancing blows after having a great hole torn in her side as she swept past the broken lower gate. Tugs caught her and lowed her to the American site where she settled to the bottom
 The loss to the Canadian govern ment probably will reach s25O,OOO and the damage to the Crescent City is estimated at $1OO,OOO. The damage to the steamers Walker and Assini- boia was comparatively light.

REHEARING
 IF SPOKANE. APostp0nnent Of|t Until Next

PHOENIX CASE COMES NEXT

Washington. D. C., June 9.-(Spe- al)-The decision in the Spokane case has been postponed for a further hearing either in Spokane or San Francisco, in September. The class rates as previously ordered by the commission will become effective July 1st.
 No change will be made in com modity rates until further considered. General Traffic Manager J. c. Stubbs of the Southern Pacific suggested that all rates to inter mountain territory should receive the early consideration of the commission, calling attention to the attendance at this meeting of the numerous traffic bodies far removed from Spokane.
 The Nevada commission had two members present. Los Angeles, San Francisco. Portland, Reno. Salt Lake, Seattle and Tacoma. Arizona and also New York and Baltimore were repre- scented. Mir. Stubbs gave a luncheon this afternoon at the New Willard to which all the representatives were in- vited. Spokane has many business men here looking after her interests. The Phoenix case will receive no con- sideration until after the Spokane case is settled, in the opinion of the mem bers of the commission. The Arizona railway commission was requested to present the cases of other Arizona towns and cities in a proper manner for the consideration of the commis- sion in order that the whole situation may be understood and passed upon.

RUFF NOT 10 BE CALLED
The Indications are That the Defense Will Offer no Tes- timony and the Case Will be Submitted to the Jury Next Week.

San Francisco, Cal. June 9.-Prose- cutor Heney announced this afternoon that the prosecutions case in the trial of Patrick Calhoun will be complete at the hour of adjournment tomorrow.
 T have every reason to believe" said MT. Heney. that all the evidence we intend to present can be placed be- fore the jury by tomorrow night.
 This definite announcement relating to the end of the trial, which has aI- ready extended over a period of nearly five months, was accepted as an ac- knowledgment that Abraham Ruef, the political boss convicted of participa- ton in the bribery charged to the president of the United Railroads, will not be called as a witness.
 Ruefs attitude since his sentence of fourteen years in the penitentiary was pronounced last December has been a subject of conjecture, and it was be- lieved that he might be produced in court as a climax to the series of sen satiOns that have characterized the trial
 Whether or not the defense will of fer any testimony is doubtful. The at torneys for Calhoun declined to make any statement tonight. and predictions based upon the three trials Of Ford were used to support the theory that no witnesses would be called. In this event, the opening argument for the prosecution by Assistant District At torney O'Gara may be expected on Friday and the case certainly will be submitted to the jury next week.
 George F. Starr, treasurer of the United Railroads, who has remained in New York during a period of two years and resisted efforts to compel his appearance to testify in the Ford trials. was called to the stand today and questioned at length about the finan- cial transactions relating to the sum- mer of 1906, when Calhoun is alleged to have sent to the mint a fund of $20O,000, subsequently, employed to bribe Ruef and the supervisors for the award of the overhead trolley permit. Starr admitted that he had been di- rected by Calhoun to charge to the lat ters account an item of S2O0,O00 for which the witness was utterly unable to account.

THE CHICAGO TRIAL
 '0F CHINESE SMUGGLERS
Three of the Eight Defendants Said to Have Confessed.

Chicago, June 9.-The defendants in one of the greatest conspiracies to smuggle Chinese into this country with which the government ever has dealt, were placed on trial here today before United States District Judge Landis.
 Eight men were indicted as the re- suit of the activity of government agents. Robert w. Stevenson, said to be the son of a Cripple Creek, Colo. judge, w. H. Clark and John Heltzell, all brakemen, recently ad- mitted their part in the alleged con- spiracy and agreed to give testimony for the government. They assisted in bringing the Chinese from Fl Paso to Chicago.

THE OHIO BLACK HAND
 WELL ORGANIZED BODY
ALL REGENT CASES OF ExToR-
 TON TRACED ToIT
It is Not Known That it is Related
 to the Siclian Brotherhood.

Cincinnati, June 9.-Revelations in extortion, plotting and murder by the Black Hand as uncovered today by postoffice inspectors from the Gin cinnati office show conclusiyely that the gang in Columbus, Marion, Den nison, Bellefontaine and other ohio towns was organized along the same lines as the old Mafia, but with q much more thorough system of con- cealment.
 It is now known that the Ohio Black Hand, or Society of the Ba- mana" as its members style them selves, had a branch in Pittsburg one in Chicago and a line that extended to South Dakota. Regular meetings were held and the money obtained by extortion was distributed to va rious divisions in this country and sent to relatives in Italy for safe keeping
 We have found what I believe to be certain proof that the Black Hand outrages, at least in the middle west, were committed by a well-organized society with grips and passwords and that they are not simply sporadic cases of individual extortion," said Chief Post Office Inspector Holmes. We have no evidence that the American Blanck Hand in the west is connected with foreign organiza- tion that killed Lieutenant PetrOsino in Sicily
 Eleven arrests have been made so far in Columbus, Marion, Dennison, Rellefontaine and Cleveland, all in Ohio, and the government officers in Chicago and Cincinnati are tonight looking for Antonio Lima, brother of Salvatore Lima, who was arrested in Marion. Another important arrest is expected in Cleveland.
