feet on the Democratic platform oi 1910, which declared for the income tax. He reminded the senators that already 30 sovereign states of the Union had declared in favor of this amendment and that it required only a two-thirds vote of the states in the Union to ratify it. He said even ii Connecticut did not ratify the action of amendment at the present session of the legislature it was certain to do so at a succeeding session be- cause the amendment is continued in permanency until finally ratified. Sen- ator Mitchell of New Haven was op- posed to the amendment on the ground that under its operation the people of Connecticut would be un- fairly taxed on great irrigation pro- jects for the benefit of Southern and Western states.
 Senator Brinsmade of Washington made an effective speech in favor of the amendment. He said that the question was whether the National government shall have returned to 1t the power with which it was vested for over 100 years and which was lost to it by an adverse decision of the U. s. Supreme court the court de- ciding adversely by one vote.
 He quoted numerous authorities in- cluding most of the foremost states men of American history as favor able to the income tax as the fairest of all imposts.
 Senator Judsop declared that he could not support the amendment in its present form It had a sinister origin, he said, it was rushed through the Congress as bargain between the so-called regulars and insurgents of the Republican party in order that the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill might become a law.
 Ho l become the organic law of the land, the senators of the West and South could impose a tax and that four fifth of the revenue which would be derived would come from a handful of eastern states.
 The money thus obtained could De used for their billion dollar projects of irrigation and equalization of their western rivers. He maintained that the Federal government had suffici- ent power at the present time to levy an income tax in case of war or any other great necessity. He was op- posed to such a tax. being levied :n nary purposes of running the govern ment and referred to a statement re- gently made by an eminent authority that there was an annual waste of $500, 100000 in the conduct of the Federal government. He further CiduueI Lndl the 1OunQerS or the gov ernment had ne-er intended that such a power should be exer cised by the Congress.
 He said that under the proposed amendment the bonds of the states and the municipalities would be sub !ect to the tax which would greatly impair the ability of the states and to market these securf- ties.
 Senator Peck of Danbury in a clear statement which contained his rea- sons for supporting the minority re- port said he was convinced that the proposed amendment would not work the hardship predicted by it's oppon- ents. He favored the amendment

Coroner Wilson Finds Eli ott F.Beach, Killed in Col lision, Criminally Negli- gent.
Says He Ran by Signals, Causing Four Deaths, Be- sides Own When Four Freights Crashed.
Evidence as Taken in Star Chamber Hearing Discus sed in Lengthy Finding Two Were in Engine Cab with Beach.

Coroner C. B.. Wilson filed his find ing in the matter of the deaths occa- stoned by the freight wreck at Fair field The evidence was taken in star chamber. A portion of it is consid- cred in the finding. The blame is lodged with Engineer Elliott F.Beach, who was killed. He is found crim- inally negligent, in that, as the cor oner finds, he ran by signals set against him. It appears that there were three men on Beach's engine at the moment of collision. Beach him self, Robert $. Gates and Leonard N. Harris, the latter fireman and head brakeman respectively.
 The coroner finds that under these remarkable circumstances Beach ran by a caution signal, ran by a Tight at the tower, which was out, but which was therefore a signal to stop, ran through two torpedoes sent 1000 feet back of the point where the col lision took place, and that fusee was dropped, from the train which had right of way, just before it started after making the repair referred to in the finding.
 The coroner concludes as follows:
 That the said train H-f-2 was run by Elliott F. Beach, the engineer, and ran into the rear of Extra 338 which had stopped east of the Fair field tower, at 11:32 p. m.
 That the caution signal about 1.470 feet west of said Fairfield tower was set at caution when Beach reached it; that the signal light at the tower was out, but that this signifed stop (absence of a signal from it's accus- toned place to be read as "Stop) fIof Walsh between 1000 and 1,4OO feet to the rear of where he stopped; that Extra 33S" had gone between 800 and 1000 feet from the point where it stopped when it was run into; that these torpedoes were exploded by that Walsh dropped a fusee just aft CT Extra 33S" started up; that there were five red lights on the rear of the caboose of Extra 338", which was directly in front of "H-Y-2," Beach's train; and that Brown and Beach from the Fairfield tower to stop.
 That Beach was normal. healthy man, had not been overworked, and had been in the employ of the said railroad company for number of years.
 That Beach at no time since leav- ing South Norwalk slackened the speed of his train.
 That the said Beach ran by all the aforementioned signals without needing them in the slightest degree, and crashed into the rear of Extra 338" while still pulling
 That the said Elliott F. Beach was criminally negligent in causing said wreck and the subsequent deaths of Leonard N. Harris, William Laurie, Robert S. Gates, Daniel P. Hannon, and himself.
