MILLION FROM
FRANCHISE TAX
New Jersey municipalities
Will Benefit as a Result.

Trenton, Oct 25.@New Jersey
municipalities will receive 0
than 81. 100000 this year from the
franchise tax levied against public
utility corporations. This will be
considerable increase over the ag-
gregate amount of this tax last
year, when the figures were $685.
144. This increase win be partly
accounted for by the higher tax rate
this year against street railway
companies, the rest being due to the
fact that it has been a good year
for the business Of this class of cor
poration.
Under an amendment to the Voor-
hees franchise act passed a few
years ago street railway companies
must pay this year at the rate or
four and one-half per cent on their
gross receipts. Before the amend
ment was enacted trolley corpora
lions paid at the rate of two per
cent on their gross receipts, the
same as all other public utility COM
panies. The new act increased the
trolley rate one-half per cent each
year until five per cent was reached,
when it var to remain at thai fig
ure. The maximum will be reached
next year, when every street rail-
way in the state will be required to
pay the franchise tax at the five per
cent. rate.
Last year this tax showed an in
crease Of $132,871 over that of
of 1909. The tax is assessed by
the State Board of Assessors and
the amount due each taxing district
In the state is then certified to the

TO CHANGE INAUGURATION DAY
Ratification of Las1 Thursday In
pril Assured.

Washington, D. CA change of
the date of the Inauguration of the
President is assured of ratification by
the Sixty-second Congress, and it is
not improbable that similar action
will be taken to change the date of
holding the national elections.
This assurance has been given by
a two-thirds majority of both houses
of Congress to Representative Henry,
of Texas. chairman of the House
Committee on Rules, who introduced
recently a joint resolution providing
for the submission or this proposal
to the Legislatures of the States.
The proposed amendment of the
Constitution of the United States
changes the date of the Inauguration
from March 4, usually an inclement
day in Washington, to the last Thurs
day in April The date of holding
national elections would be changed
from the first Tuesday in November
to the first Tuesday in April, preced-
ing the expiration of the terms of the
President and members of Congress.

HOUSE PASSES FREE LIST BILL
Efforts of Republicans to Amend It
Are Futile--Vote Was
236 to 1903.

Washington, d. C.-Nine hours of
continuous pounding at the hands of
the Republican minority of the House
Representatives failed to make
single change in the first Democratic
tariff bill, that placing on the free
list agricultural implements, meats
and many other articles.
The bill passed the House by
vote of 236 to 1O9, the Democrats
voting solidly and mastering "a Re-
publicans with them. This came af-
ter the Democrats had voted down or
ruled out of order more than 100
amendments and had demonstrated
again that the Democratic majority
was a compact and smoothly work
ing machine for the enactment of
legislation.
Minority Leader Mann threw
amendment after amendment into
the debate, ranging all the way from
free rice to free lead and pig iron,
but those that were not ruled out of
order were cheerfully voted down
by an almost solid Democratic vote.
An attempt by Mr.. Mann to re-
commit the bill to the committee on
Ways and Means was tabled by the
House.

KILLED Him TO
SAVE HIS SOUL
A Wife's Reason for Numbering
Her Husband.
ANOTHER WOMAN THE CAUSE.
Mrs. O'Shaughnessy Makes Astound-
ing Declaration--Said 1t Would
Have Been Easier to Have
Committed Suicide.
Copyright. 1910

New York.-Frail, but cool, young
Mrs Patrick O'Shaughnessy told the
coroner without tremor or remorse
OF fear in her voice that she had kill
ed her husband to save his soul. 1t
was an astounding declaration, quite
in the same key with her manner,
when she went into a police station
and informed the sergeant:
I've just shot and killed my hus-
band"
She wants to be punished at once,
before the birth of her child. 1t
would have been easier to commit
suicide, she explained, but in that
case the husband she loved would
have forsworn his religion for the
woman who had supplanted her.
Rather than see that, she killed him,
and rather than add the crime of
suicide to murder she chose to give
herself up and let the justice of man
take its course.
II hid the revolver in the folds of
my dress" said the little woman,
"and came upon George as he was
hunting for letters | had found, let
tiers that told me the other woman s
name, the letters he had forgotten.
He said it was true, but that he
couldn account for it. We talked Of
her George loved me through 1t
all; but when he was with her, he
said. he forgot his country, his relig-
ion, his wife and his coming child.
| fell on my knees and asked him if
there was no chance for us to be
happy together again He pushed
me off. Then shot him. AS he lay
on the floor | stopped and kissed his
lips. Then l gave myself up"
Mrs O'Shaughnessy was commit
ted to the Tombs without bail. Her
husband was a store cashier only 81
years old, and the girl whom he loved
better than his wife and his God is
but IS She is heartbroken.
'Shaughnessy told her he was I'M
married.

President Taft, Secretary of State
Knox and hundreds of persons
prominent in diplomatic and official
life paid honor to Mr.. Carnegie here

Against Denial of Ballot.

New York.-Fifteen hundred wom-

get a chance to do little ballot
shopping on election day marched,
two-stepped, tripped and glided down
Fifth avenue, as protest against
Legislature which has persistently re-
fused their right to vote.
Thousands of spectators fanked
the line of march from Fifty-seventh
street to Union Square to witness the
most picturesque petticoat pageant in
the city's history, but whether
through respect, awe or reverence,
the fact remains that the exhibition
aroused very little enthusiasm.
Ninety-one intrepid men clinched
their claim to Carnegie's medals by
participating in the parade, never
fiinching in the face of running fire
of ungallant remarks, hurled at them
from their brethren on the sidewalk.

Cordova, Alaska. The excitement
caused by the governments failure
to hurry action in Alaska coal-land
cases reached a climax here, when
300 business men and citizens formed
a mob and, armed with shovels,
marched to the ocean dock Of the
Alaska Steamship Company, where
they proceeded to throw several hun
dred tons of British Columbia coal
into the bay. 1t was a protest against
what the citizens of Cordova con-
strued to be President Taft's failure
to acknowledge receipt of any of sew

When the cable dispatches from
Washington failed to bring news of
President Taft having acknowledged
the receipt of the appeals from

call to arms, which in this instance
means a call to shovels, was sounded.
Among those who participated in
the coal party" were A. J. Adams,
president of the chamber of COM

Councilman James Flynn and Charles

The time selected for the move
