GREAT INVENTION
BY RICHMOND Man

Which Is Being Viewed
With Favor.

INVENTOR, c. kNoPF, CLAIMS
THAT IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE
FOR RAILS TO SPREAD WITH
HIS DEVICE.
IS A WRECK PREvENTER.

After seven years OF effort G.
Knopf OF the KnoDf Floral company
west of the city has completed the
construction Of q steel railroad tie and
fastening and has been granted a pat.
ent on his invention. by the United
States government. If the invention
proves as practical in the test. as he
believes it will. there is no reason why
it should not almost -evolutionize the
railway tie conditions.
Several financiers and expert rail-
pronounce it very good in theory, pro-
stration. Mr.. Knopf's attorneys at
Chicago are now arranging for a test
to be made Of the invention.
Will Prevent Wrecks.
Mr.. Knopf claims for his invention,
that 1T win not only be a great saw
ing to the users Of ties. but that it
will also make wrecks less frequent
Wrecks due to spread of the rails
will be impossible II his invention OBJ
tains general use.
The tie has 4 ct" shape arrange

train passing over them and causing
the rails to spread.
Mr.. Knopf claims that the life Of his
tie and fastening 10 from Is to 90
years. while that Of the wooden tie is
but five years. While the initial cost

This Action Taken Today for
The Expressed Purpose of
EHecting a United Form of
Opposition.
INCOME TAX FIGHT
TO BE PROSECUTED
Lively Trouble Is in Sight, De-
spite Fact That "StalWart"
Republicans Appear to Be
Satisfied.

Washington, June ia caucus of
democratic senators was called for to-
day, all being urged to attend, and an
attempt will be made to secure united
and possibly harmonious party action
on the income tax. The Republican
members of the senate finance COM
mittee met last night and agreed to
favorably report joint resolution
proposing an amendment to the con-
stitution by which an income tax may
be authorized and the full committee
will be summoned to pass on the mat
ter.
The "stalwart" Republicans, head
ed by Mr.. Aldrich, made another
count OF noses and satisfied them
selves that sufficient votes could be
secured to put through the double
program. Senator Crane rounded up
the doubtful ones and reported that
several democrats would vote for the
tax on corporation earnings. All the
republican leaders declared the sit
uation well in hand.
War 10 in Sight.
There is more war In sight, how
ever. Five progressive republican
senators. Borah, Bristow. Cummins,
Lafollette and Clapp, conferred to de-
termine what their attitude was to be.
They decided the presidents plan to
tax corporations net incomes was not
inconsistent with their demands for
the adoption of an amendment taxing
incomes, and that both might be
adopted In harmony. They assumed
that the presidents plan was designed
to "chloroform" the income tax
amendment, but nevertheless an
nounced that they will continue to
fight that idea.
In a brief statement prepared by
Messrs. Borah and Bristow, the sup
porters of an income tax amendment
say in part: ....
"The friends Of the income tax feel
it a duty to continue to put forth ev-
cry effort to secure the adoption OF
the measure They will therefore
urge the adoption of the amendment.
They also stand ready to support a
resolution providing for an amend
ment to the constitution Of the United
States. While they believe. the SUI
preme court will sustain the law, yet
to provide against any possible con-
tingency that may arise from an ad-
verse decision they gladly favor the
proposition to amend the constitution.

ANNUAL MEETING
Hello LAST NIGHT
Art Association Members
Meet and Old Officers
Were Re- elected.

At the annual meeting of the Rich
mond Art Association last evening.
officers were elected ard reports for
the year read. The association is in
excellent condition both financially
and otherwise and bright outlook
is had for the ensuing year, which will
mark the transoosition Of the art gal
lery and annual exhibit from the Gar
field building to the new gallery, in
corporated in the new high school
building.
The officers reelected include. Mrs.
M. F. Johnston, president; Prof T. A.
Mott, first vice H/,sident: William
Dudley Foulke, second vice president;
Miss Carrie Lesh. secretary and H. r..
Robinson treasurer. The members of
the board of directors reelected in
Robbins. Frank Girardin and Otto
Punsch. They are elected for a per-
Tod of three years.
Under the terms o. the new consti-
tuition. a member of the school board
has to be elected director of the
Art association. The selection of a
member Of the school board will be
made at the next meeting of the or.
ganization.
Membership Gain.
The reports made last evening
showed that there had been q gain in
the membership and with the raising
of $500, and a gift of an equal amount
from Daniel G. Reid, the picture fund
is very substantial one. The money
raised for routine expenses is suffi-
Gent to cover all. and still leave a
balance in the treasury.
The number of visitors to the asso.
citation this year is probably greater
than ever before. This is especially
true of visitors from out Of the city.
The exhibit will probably have a repu-
tation from coast to coast.

AN UNKNOWN man
BREAKS IN STORE

In an attempt to rob Mrs. Brehm's
millinery store, 533 Main street last
evening, the intruder must have gone
on a demolishing expedition, judging
from the condition Of the store this
morning. The door between the work
room and the store proper was
wrenched from the casing and the
lock broken. The intruder had gained
entrance through a rear window.
Nothing Of value was secured.
