SHAFROTH'S VIEWS AS Ex-
PRESSED IN WASHINGTON

While In Washington last week Gov.
Sbafroth was interviewed by the
Washington Post in which the gov.
ernor said:
Il am strongly in favor OF an in.
come tax, and believe It will be en-.
acted into law before long.
Il believe all incomes should be
taxed and that congress should choose
the method OF collecting It. Nobody
believes a tax will be imposed on mu-
nicipal or national bonds. The taxes
collected should not be converted to
the use of the federal government
alone. There should be a division be-
tween the federal government and the
states. am not prepared to say
whether IT should be equally divided.

SEND SUFFRAGISTS
INNOCUOUS BOMB
Internal Machine" Found
to Contain Guinea
Keats Head. A

A package, so closely resembling an
Internal machine that Inspector Board
man, Chief Of detectives. personally
took charge OF the investigation, was
delivered through tf7 mails this morn
ing 10 the headquarra-s Of the National
Woman's Suffrage association, lSZ3 H
street northwest
The machine however, proved TO be
an old paint can filed with clay and a
gUineakeats head The package was
wrapped in a piece of newspaper On
which had been pasted q newspaper
clipping with the name and address OF
the association. It was postmarked
Philadelphia
Inside the newspaper was another
wrapper of pink paper. on which was
pasted strips Of red paper and numer-
Gus newspaper clippings On the top
was a red seal, on which had been
fastened headlines about the recent
strike of shirt waist makers. Because
of this the police think the sender Is
some one IN sympathy with the strikers
As soon as the first wrapper was un-
done one of the clerks at the suffrage
headquarters teIephoned the police, and
Inspector Boardman sent a detective for
the package and had il brought to head
quarters. The inspector decided not TO
undo IL. but took il 10 the navy yard
and asked Admiral LeutZe, the comman-
dant to have one Of the powder experts
examine Il.
Using every possible precaution 10

supposed Internal machine, the chemist
carefully unwrapped the package As
he pried the cover of the paint can
there was an OdOr unlike anything he
had ever associated with powder
There was something IN the can that
looked suSpiciously ike ordinary clay,
but he took no chances When il was
removed, he discovered the source Of the
peculiar odor. II was the dead guinea

The chemist laughed. and Inspector
BOardman came back to headquarters
convinced that some one had played a
