INCOME TAX BILL FAILS
New York Assembly Tables Meas.
ure After Four Hours Debate.
Resolution offered by Andrew n.
Murray and Advocated in Speech
Quoting Senator Root.

+
Albany, N. Y-The proposal for a
national income tax amendment was
defeated in the Assembly after a long
debate. The resolution for an in
come tax was offered by Andrew F..
Murray, Republican for the Nine
teenth Manhattan district, and he
made a long speech sustaining the
position Of President Taft and Sem
ator Root on the proposition. The
resolution as required by the rules
was in the form Of bill and required
76 votes. Even after call of the
House. Assem- blyman Murray could
only obtain IA. The vote against the
income tax was Sc and there were
ten absentees. Murray gave notice
that at some future time he would
move to reconsider the vote by which
his motion was lost, and this means
that If within any time before adj
journment he is sure of &c votes he
will call up the resolution.
The opinion here is that New York
State is not likely to be committed,
this year at least, to a Federal income
tax, but it is in the Senate probably
that it will have to be defeated. AS
semblyman Murray, Republican, of
New York City, who has charge of it.,
is confident that the two votes which
he lacked will be on hand to pass the
resolution when he calls it up again,
before the end of the session.
Assuming that the Assembly will
pass the Murray measure, all signs
point to its defeat in the State Gem
ate. 1t will be recalled that six weeks
ago the Republicans, by almost a
unanimous vote on their part, refused
to invite Elihu Root, an advocate of
the tax, to address it in reply to the
objections advanced by Governor
Hughes in his annual message; there
fore, it is believed here that, should
the Murray resolution get as far as
the Senate, 1t probably will find few
friends outside of the sixteen mem
bers of the Democratic minority.
The vote on it, which came after
more than four hours of earnest, and
at times bitter, debate, stood IA in
favor, Sc against, two short Of the
seventy-six votes necessary for pas
sage This vote was non-partisan,
several Republicans voting for the
proposition and two Democrats
Chanler, of Duchess, and Shortt, of
ting against it,
Assemblyman Murray followed the
announcement of the result by mo-
ton to reconsider the vote and to lay
that motion on the table. This was
passed, 81 to 16.

BOY SHIPPED AS COLLATERAL.
Sent to a Bank as Guarantee of Pay
ment of q Board Bill.

st. Louis, Mo--A shipment of one
boy, six years old. was received in the
Union Station here from Monroe, La,
consigned to the National Bank OF
Commerce for collateral for a board
bill to be RENTED by the Bank Of
Monroe.
Mrs. F. J. Koontz, acting as agent
for F J. Koontz, whose name is Ar
thur, called in the Union Station for
the consignment. but the officials of
the Iron Mountain, mindful of their
obligation as common carrier, refused
to deliver him into her hands, be-
cause she was not the consignee
named in the bill of lading. The boy,
still tagged, was taken to the National
Bank of Commerce in taxicab.
The bank gave its receipt to the
railroad company and the boy was
turned over to Mrs. Koontz. The
bank in Monroe was then told by wire

HEAVY FALL IN KENTUCKY
Area of Remarkably Low Tempera-

Latest Snowfall Ever
Recorded in Illinois.


Chicago, Ilf.--The third killing
frost has spread over the West and
Northwest, destroying the remnant OF
the fruit and berry crops. The loss
was estimated at $40, 1000, 900, Mich
igan, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, In
diana, Missouri, Minnesota and Ne
braska being the chief sufferers.
Michigan lost peaches, grapes,
pears, plums and strawberries. The
big loss in Illinois, Iowa and Missouri
has been apples. 1t had been snow
Ding and freezing for forty-eight hours
over the entire territory.
Forecaster Cox reported a mini
mum temperature of twenty-seven
and maximum of thirty-eight.
The situation was designated by
MIR. Cox as one of the most serious in
his experience. The only chances for
a supply of fruit that he could foresee
were in the Colorado districts and
those west of Colorado. with posi-
BILE chance that some fruit in Mis-
souri, will be saved by smudging.
$50 far as the fruit is concerned it
will be serious and perhaps total
loss from here west" he explained.
"The cold is going into Ohio to COM
plete the ruin which is general north
of Central Illinois and as far south
as Kentucky and Tennessee. The
freeze extended westward and north
westward UP through the Dakotas and
down through Iowa, Missouri, Kansas
and Oklahoma to the foothills of the
Rockies. The fruit suffered much
from the first freeze, and this one
will finish killing what had not been
killed already"
Only once for the entire month of
April for any previous year on record
has the temperature been so cold, and
that was on April /, 1899, when the
mercury dropped to nineteen de-
grees.
The snowfall In Central Illinois was
three inches, according to the Wealth
er Bureau. Never before has there
been more than a trace of snow re-
corded after April Is in that region.
Reports from the entire Northwest
indicate that barley, oats, rye and
corn were badly damaged, but the
soil still is in fine condition, and it
is not too late for reseeding.

estimated at half a crop by William

Patrick FL. McCarren once told me
Of a funny incident that happened In
Rome" said a Brooklyn lawyer. NC
Carren said that on his first visit to
Rome, after he had seen the Coliseum
and the Forum. he visited the Ara
Coeli church, on the left of the Capt.
toline hill. He climbed the grand
stairway leading to the church, the
finest open air stairway In the world.
He pushed back the heavy leather cur
tain, and, entering, he found a service
in progress. So he put his hat on the
marble floor at his side and took a
seat.
After ten minutes or so he decided
he would go and reached down for his
hat. But a restraining hand was laid
OF his. and he desisted. He knew, Of
course, that some churches don't like
people to leave In the midst of a sery-
ice.
'"Ten or fifteen minutes more passed.
The service still continued. Senator
McCarren got impatient and again
reached for his hat. But again the un-
seer hand restrained him from the
rear.
"a little later, however. the senator
quite lost patience. This was. he told
himself, an important service. Of
course. Nevertheless he did n pro-
pose to miss his luncheon, and IL would
harm no one II he slipped out quietly.
$50 a third time he reached for his
hat. and the invisible hand a third
time detained him. He persevered,
however. The silent hand pushed. and
