Verdict Of Coroner's Jury Which
Investigated Deaths In Eek
ington Car Barn.

After hearing mass Of testimony from
electrical experts as to the possibilities
of electricity, and the almost incredible
statement that 6,60O volts of electricity
passed through one mans body only
slightly injuring him, while two other
men were instantly killed by the same
voltage, a coroner's jury this afternoon

from Sundays rain, was about six or
eight inches deep. He was pushing
the transformer while the other men
were pulling it. Norton's back acci-
dentally came into contact with one
of the insulated wires carrying the
electricity.
Two Instantly Killed.
The 6,6o0 volts Of electricity passed
through Norton's body. through the
transformer and into the bodies of the
other men, Regan and Kelley were kill
ed instantly, while the other men were
but slightly injured.

ISOLATION THREATENS
AMERICANS IN MEXICO
Northwestern Railroad Now
Doomed to Destruction.
Depredations Continue.

JURAEZ, Mexico July 17.-MOre than
500 American citizens. together with their
wives and families, in towns along the
Mexican Northwestern railroad are
threatened with isolation far from the
American border with scant means OF
escaping depredations of Mexican rebels.
Sufficient facts have become known OF
the real situation along the Mexican
Northwestern to warrant the statement
that 1t would cause no surprise II the
Americans in all the towns along the line
were warned to leave Mexico at once.
Gen. Pascual Orozco, jr.. within the last
twenty-four hours ordered the Mexican
Northwestern railroad destroyed between
Pearson and MADEIRA, 207 miles southwest
of here. but the order has been mysteri-
ously rescinded.
Railroad Is Doomed.
That the Mexican Northwestern rail-
road, along which most of the rebel army
now is stretched, is doomed to destruc-
ton, is generally admitted. for the rep-
els intend to harass the government
forces moving northwestward from chi
huahua City. 1t is feared that after the
destruction of the railroad and the tele'
graph, Americans marooned in the inter
ior would have no redress If depredations
by irresponsible rebel bands began. 1t j:
desired, however, to take no chances. ant

colonies in MADEIRA and Pearson proba bl.

States.
Though the hungry rebel army. it j:
considered. may cause trouble in confis
eating supplies and possibly in looting the
many handsome residences erected by tht
Americans. more apprehension is reall.

and ammunition which the American:
have for self-protection.

CAUCUS. DECIDES
ON INCOME TAX
House Democrats Spring SUI:
prise in New Measure.
SUGAR GOES Oh FREE LIST
Excise Law Provides for Taxation Of
All Incomes in Excess Of Five
Thousand Dollars. .

Washington, March IA bill to put
sugar on the free list, eliminating $52,'
900 900 in all cusoms revenue, and an
other to extend the present corpora
ton tax to include individuals and CO.
partnerships having an income OF $5,'
900 a year or over were ratified oy
the Democratic caucus of the house.
The excise law, 50 called by the
ways and means committee, is in ef'
feet an income tax. The bill is so
drawn that it is expected to comply
with the supreme courts decision
against the constitutionality of an in
come tax. Its effect would be to tax
every person who earns more than
$4,000 a year, on the excess of $4,000
at the rate of l per cent.
The estimate of Chairman Under.
wood and members of the ways and
means committee is that the proposed
excise tax would bring in a revenue
of between S50,O00,000 and $60,00O,O0O
q year.
Placing sugar on the free list, the
Democratic leaders estimate, will re-
duce the price of sugar to the con-
sumner about " cent a pound.
The secret that members of the
ways and means committee had been
so closely guarding for several days
was the provision to extend the cor
poration tax.
Some of the special provisions of the
income tax or excise bill provide that
in computing incomes expenses actu'
ally incurred in carrying on business,
not including personal, living or fam.
lily expenses, shall be deducted, as
shall interest on Indebtedness.
Majority Leader Underwood an
nounced that the bills would be re-
ported to the house in few days.
