BY SINGLE VOTE.
Massachusetts, Senate Turned Down In
come Tax Measure.

Boston, May 4.--By a vote of 10 to
III, with nine pairs, the Senate killed
the federal income tax resolution yes.
terday Counting the pairs, the record
vote of the Senate is 10 to 20, with
President Treadway not voting.
Senator Gates of Westboro, who
pledged himself in his campaign for
election to vote for the income tax
voted against it, He explained this by
saying that he did not understand the
proposition when he pledged himself to
favor it,
Il favor a state income tax" he said
"and did not understand when pledged
myself to vote for the income tax that
it was tax to be collected by the fed
eral government"
Mr. Gates waited until everybody
else had voted before he asked to be re-
corded. The resolutions were dead
without him, since a tie was all that
was necessary for their rejection. But
he evidently did not know that, for,
when asked by brother senator why
he voted he replied that President
Treadway would have been compelled to
vote If he had refrained from doing so.
There was no reason, however. why
Mr. Gates should have acted to pro-
tect Mr. Treadway, because the presi-
dent had spoken against the federal in
come tax again and again, and was
quite ready, if occasion demanded, to
put himself on record in the Senate.

In THE MURDER TRIAL
Respondents Daughter Testified That

Guildhall. May AT to-day's ses-
sion of the trial OF Mrs Florence M.

er Heath's death The witness could
not remember any other facts in con.
nection with the case.
DIR. A. c. Breitling, who visited Mrs.
Dodge's home after the shooting, tes-
titles that he examined the revol-
yer at the time and could see
no trace of putty This fact was
brought out by the prosecution attor.
neys to counteract the theory that
Heath had committed suicide. Heath
was painter and was working with
putty.
Mrs. Dodge appeared in her customary
good spirits to-day and remained undis-.
turbed throughout the proceedings
An intimation of the line of defense
Of Mrs. Dodge was brought out yester-
day in the trial when, in cross examine
ing witness, her attorneys secured the
admission that from the position of the
body and other circumstances he had
formed the opinion that Heath shot
himself, either accidentally, or with sui
cidal intent. The witness was GUY
Garyin, who was one Of the first per-
sons to view Heaths body after the
tragedy. AT that time, he testified. the
dead mans hand was outstretched to-
ward the revolver, which, it is alleged,
caused his death.
DR.. Charles f. Dalton of Burlington,
who assisted at the autopsy, corrobo-
rated the testimony OF DR.. Stone. On
cross examination, Dr. Dalton said he
could not remember seeing anything on
the clothing worn by Heath that looked
like powder marks.
For three years before Heath was
shot, Mrs. Dodge said, she kept a re-
yolyer under her pillow every night, ac-
cording to the testimony of Mrs. Clara
Nichols of Lunenburg.
Judge Kyle T. Brown of Lunenburg,
testified that on the day of the shoot
ing he heard Mrs. Dodge say she was
afraid she would have to go to court,
and perhaps to jail. Eleven witnesses
