The expulsion OF these priests was

fled This Winter.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Formal mott g
Of the ratification by the state Of
Louisiana of the income tax constitu
tional amendment reached the state
department today. Thirty-three states
have given notice of their approval OF
this amendment and the department is
daily expecting notice from the state
of Ohio, whose legislature has already
acted favorably.
The affirmative votes of only two
states are now necessary to make the
three-fourths required by the consti-
tuition for the adoption of an amend
ment. 1t is not doubted here that the
necessary votes will he Forthcoming

the legislatures of the following ten
states which have not yet acted upon
the amendment:
Delaware. Florida. Massachusetts,
New Jersey. New Mexico. Pennsyl-
vania. Vermont. Virginia. West Vir-

Only two states. Minnesota and
Massachusetts. have so far acted upon
the amendments submitted to them

NO EFFORT TO.
STOP ATTACKS
Neither Policemen Nor Mill

Strike Disorders.

Salem, Mass, Nov. 5.-That militia

in Lawrence on the morning of Janu-
ary 20 and that the cars were be-
sieged by an organized gang of about
twenty men. was the testimony today
ers at the trial of Ettor. Giovannitti
and Caruso for the murder of Anna
Lopizzo.
II saw this gang of twenty men go
up and down the Streets" said Ready.
"They were armed with clubs with
which they smashed the windows of
the cars. Some of them threw
chunks of ice. The policemen on the
street made no attempt to stop them.
Neither did the soldiers"
Several Lawrence women and chill
dren workers testified that police and
militiamen dubbed the strikers. One
boy by soldier.
the American members of the strike
committee. testified that he never
heard Ettor urge violent action. The
witness quoted one of Ettor's speeches
1 to the strikers as follows:
"The greatest power of the work.
ing people is when they do nothing
and remain absolutely quiet with their
arms folded. AS soon as you fold
your arms. there will he no one to
build automobiles for the rich. Then
will you have the CAPITALIST class at
your mercy and be on the way to VIC
tory.

here what 1000 years of Christianity
have not done. We have brought to.

capitalist at Colorado Springs. last

RAMSEY COUNTY
CLAIMS BIG LEAD
Hanna Will Go Out of That
County With 600
Majority.

Reports from many points in the
state at noon today Indicate that a
heavy vote is being polled The wealth
er has been fairly good as a whole.
There was slight snow last night but
in nearly all parts of the state the
skies cleared up at an early hour and
the day was pleasant.
Interest at all points centers around
the governorship. Early voting it is
claimed indicates that L. E. Hanna is
receiving large vote, but as the
preferences of the late voters may lie
the other way, the early forecasts are
not reliable. The voting in the Red
river valley was heavy in the early
hours. and as it is generally conceded
that these counties would give the
weakest support to the republican can
didate for governor it is possible that
he has not received the large support
believed.
There are evidences in nearly every
county of scratching of ballots This
is judged by the length of time the
voters are in the booths in marking
their ballots.
The three cornered contest in ma.
tional affairs makes it impossible to
determine the relative strength of the
contestants.
