THE GOSSIP OF SERVANTS
Under the Influence of Liquor They Said Unutterable Things Fell From Tongue of the Plaintiff in the Sep- aration Suit.

New York, June 16.-Howard Gould did not go on the stand today to testify against his wife, Katherine ClemmOns Gould. whose suit for separation he is opposing. Instead there was a con tfnuation of the servants gossip, ae- counts by menials of their former mis- tress' eccentricities; humiliating de- tails, as sworn to on the stand, of Mrs. Gould's alleged fondness for al- coholic beverages and her manner at such times when what the witnesses said was influence of liquor brought from her lips remarks i'll suited to a wOman's tongue.
 It was but a reiteration in some re- spects an amplifica ton of yester- days testimony, the basis of which was that at various times at Castle Gould she had been intoxicated and had abused the servants and given arbitrary and unreasonable commands and had used rather severe language in alterations with her husband.
 An occasion when she would have fallen from her carriage but for the protecting hand of a coachman, her attempt to drive through a closed gate. O eAliAC ei AOObliiclAA SdNCd falling while intoxicated. as he testi- fled, were among things alleged.
 A carpenter, Herbert Trotter, was the last witness of the day. He said that while he was working in the ser wants quarters. Mrs. Gould rushed in and swore at the servants" Her voice was shaky and ineoherent, her hair disheveled, and she. was very profane She was decidedly drunk" said the witness.
 At another time she came into the stables while I was working there and swOre at the grooms and was very drunk. She tried to go up stairs to the harness room, but could not navi- gate the steps"

THE PRIMARY LAW
 OF. THE SUCKER STATE HELD TO BE AN UNcONSTITU-
 TIONAL ACT. The Third Attempt of Illinois to
 Enact One a Failure.

Springfield, H., June 16-In a de- cision handed down today the su- preme court of Illinois declares the district primary election law uncon- sttutionaL This is the third primary law so declared by the highest tri- bunal in this state
 In the workings of the law, objec- tions were made that it was cum brous and laden with too much ma chinery. The restrictions placed upon voters regarding eligibility and the powers granted committees were oth- CT grounds.
 It is believed this will necessitate the calling of a special session Of the legislature next fall. The decision may invalidate the indictments against Chicago west side politicians, who are charged with fraud in the primaries last August.

INCOME TAX AMENDMENT
Mir. Gore Wants an Early Re- port by the Finance Com- mittee on Latter Feature of the Message--A Threat by MT. Bailey.

Washington, June 16.-Recommend- ing a two per cent tax on the net in come of corporations. and the aGup- tion of an amendment to the constitu- ton providing an income tax without an apportionment among the several states, President Taft today sent to congress a message embodying his views on the subject. The president spoke of the apparent inability of congress to agree to an inheritance tax, and as regards an income tax he refers to the decision of the su- preme court in the case of Pollock vs. the Farmers Loan and Trust com pany, in which the court held the tax to be unconstitutional unless appor- tioned according to population.
 Tt is," says the president, 'undoubt- edly a power which the government ought to have. It might be indis- pensable to the nations life in a great
 crisis
 The amendment suggested provides for the imposition on all corporations and joint stock companies for profit. except national banks Otherwise tax ed) savings banks and building and loan associations. of an excise tax of two per cent on the net income of said corporations.
 The president points out that am other merit to the tax on corporations is the federal supervision which will give the government. the stockholders and the public a knowledge of the real business transactd.

THE pRoeREsslvEs UNCHANGED

Washington, June 16.-The fight for an income tax will be continued. Five progressive republicans. Senators Borah, BristOw, Cummins, Lafollette, and Clapp, conferred tonight to de- termine what their attitude is to be in relation to the income tax amendment to the tariff bill in the face of Presi- dent Taft's special message to con gress today favoring the submission of the question to the states for con stitutional amendment and the enact ment of a la wtaxing the net earnings of corporations.
 They decided the presidents plan is not inconsistent with their demands, for the adoption of the income tax amendment to the tariff bill. and that both may be adopted in harmony They assume that the presidents plan. endorsed by leading republicans on the finance committee, is destined to ''chloroform' the income tax amend ment, but nevertheless they announce that they will continue to fight for it's adoption

ITS RECEPTION IN THE SENATE


 Washington, June 16-The mes today recommending the incorpora- tion of provision in the tariff bill for the taxation of the earnings of corporations and the adoption of resolution looking to an amendment of the constitution to permit the levying of an income tax was regard ed by senators of such importance as to place in the shade all questions pertaining strictly to the tariff schedules.
 The message was received early in the afternoon and was referred to the committee on finance. Senator Root occupied the chair when one of the presidents secretaries appeared with the message, but it was not presented until Senator Burton, who was speak ing had concluded his remarks. A full senate was present and the dOcu- ment was given the most careful at tention.
 MT. Gore attempted to have the committee instructed to report on the income tax feature of the message by next Friday when, under a general
 
 again to be taken up for considera- tion. His motion was, however, vot- ed down and for the first time in many weeks the division was strictly along party lines
 During the informal discussion of the reference of the message, Mir. Bailey gave notice that he would de- mand that provision be made for a graduation of any income tax that might be provided, and he intimated that much time would be necessary to get through a provision which did not carry that qualification. The senate adopted the finance commit tees recommendations regarding the admission of Philippine products but not until after two or three amend ments had been voted down.
 MT. Foster of Louisiana opposed the free admission of any Philippine sugar. MT. Aldrich presented the fi- nance committees substitute for the house zinc schedule and it received a major portion of the attention of the senate during the afternoon. The committee amendment which was adopted, places a duty of 50 cents a ton on zinc ore containing not more than 90 per cent of zinc and with graduated duties up to S4 a ton on ore containing over 55 per cent zinc.
 The senate also agreed to the amendments placing a duty of Is cents a pound on zinc in blocks or pigs and zinc dust, l 3-4 cents a pound on zinc in sheets, and ? cents on zinc sheets plated or coated, and one cent a pound on old worn out zinc metal. This action concluded the consideration of the zinc provi- sion and the metal schedules. The committee suggestions for changes in the sil kschedule were also adopted.
