CAFF0RD IN SUIT
State Accountant Asked for
$4,000 Damages to Child.
Baby Falls Down Stairs, Per-
manently Injuring Himself.

Leavenworth, Kan, March 2-J. c.
Gafford, state accountant, and one of
the wealthiest men in Kansas, is the
defendant in a suit filed here for $67, 900
damages. The suit grows out of in
juries received by the son of w. G..
Duncan tenant in one of the Gafford
apartment houses, here, known as the
Planters Flats. There are two suits,
O brought in the name of the son,
who is an infant, and another in Dun
cans own name. Gafford was in
Leavenworth where he and his agent
were served with notice of the suit.
Child Falls Twenty Feet.
Duncan's child, 16 months old, fell
from a window near a stair landing to
the cement floor 20 feet below. The
skull was crushed, the brains of the
child oozing out upon the cement floor
before it's terrified parents could reach
it, For time it's life was despaired
o1 but physicians prevented death.
Now they say the child will be paral-
yzed on the right side throughout its
life.
Negligence in not providing some
manner of safety which would make
such a fall impossible is charged in the
suit
It is declared the owner and agent Of
the flats knew of the condition of the
stair landing and window The amount
of damages asked includes physicians
bills, remuneration for the loss of the
child's services, money with which to
provide for the child in his life time,
and punitive damages.

tor Smoot of Utah, member of the
senate finance committee which will
deal with the bill declared there was
no possibility of the measures passing
the senate.
Smoot Calls 1t Unconstitutional.
II do not believe he said, that
any Republican senator regular or in
surgent, or that many Democrats will
stand for this measure that would de-
Stroy a great industry. The income
tax proposition is absolutely uncon-
Stitutional To call it an excise tax
instead of an income tax that has al
ready been declared unconstitutional
is simply quibbling on words. 1t is
an income tax pure and simple
Senator Kern, of Indiana, who was
Democrat candidate for vice presi-
dent in the last campaign said the
measure was a good one.
'I am and always have been in ia
vor of an income tax" he said. 'I
also am in favor of free sugar.
1.-The measure is eminently wise and
ought to pass said Senator Martin of
senate. There is no doubt in my
mind as to it's constitutionality."
Senator Poindexter of Washington,
progressive Republican said:
ct am very much in favor of an
income tax. I have been favoring it
for years.
senator McCumber IN. d. mem
ber of the senate finance committee
expressed doubt of any change.
Senator McCumber expressed doubt If
any change in the tariff on sugar would
make any difference to the consumer.
He said the income tax proposition was
lost in the supreme court of the United
States by very much OF a divided
court and that the constitutionality
of an income tax was different matter
to determine.
.PersonalIy.'' he added, ct am inclin-
ed to think that congress has the power
to levy such a. tax.
Senator Bacon of Georgia who did
not attempt to speak for his party as
he had no opportunity to talk with any
senators regarding the bill predicted #
the bill passed the house it would find
Sufficient support in the senate

Although parties of soldiers belong

London, March 2.-The great ports
of the United Kingdom particularly
those situated in Wales from which
coal is shipped to every part of the
world and the centers of the iron and
steel industries have naturally been
the first to feel the effect of the
strike of more than one million coal
miners in England, Scotland and
Wales. Many iron works in various
districts were closed today and at
swansea and elsewhere the docks
practically have come to a stand
still. No vessels are arriving and the
lockers and workmen employed in
the local industries have been thrown
out of work. Great crowds of these
men gathered in the strets discussing
the dispute.
Thus far there have been no dis
turbanceS anywhere.
In south Wales however, the mine
owners are preparing for emergencies.
They have had walls built around
the mines and have laid in great
stores of provisions in anticipation of
a long siege. The railroad and street
car service in many cities was furth-
er curtailed today.
Only two small nonunion mines in
the entire country are still at work.
One of these is in North Wales and
the other near Berwick on the Scot
tish border.

coal. Six hundred mills will be idle
within a few days and forty thousand
men will be thrown out of employ
