proposition under consideration.
The report is not authenticated here,
but is believed to be true, inasmuch as
it comes from several sources and IS
being generally discussed among Sea-
board railway employees. Mr.. Poole
has for several years held the respon-
sible position which he now occupies
and is esteemed alike among officials
and employees of the entire system.
Mr.. Poole is a native of Americus,
having seen here the first years of
service of his long connection with
the Seaboard system, and his friends
would regret to see any severance OF

MRS. PANKHURST
GIVEN SENTENCE
OF THREE YEARS
LEADER OF SUFFRAGETTES
Sent TO Work House for In

London, April 8. Mrs. Emaline
Pankhurst, the leader of the militant
suffragettes, was today found guilty
and sentenced to three years penal
servitude at the Old Bailey sessions
on the charge of melting persons to
commit damage
The jury added to its verdict of
guilty strong recommendation for
mercy, and when the judge pronounc-
ed the heavy sentence of three years,
the crowd of women in the couct
room rose in angry protest.
AS Mrs. Pankhurst stood up in tho
prisoners enclosure her sympathiz-
ers cheered wildly and then filed out
G. fhe court room singing, March On,
March On" to the tune of the Ma
seilleise."
Mrs. Pankhurst's closing address
to the jury lasted so minutes She
informed the court that she did NOT
wish to call any witnesses. In her
address she frequently wandered 50
far from the matter before the court
that the judge censured her.
Mrs. Pankhurst denied any mali
cious incitement. Neither | nor the
other militant suffragettes are wicked
or malicious" she said.
Women are not tried by their
peers, and these trials are an exam
pie of what women are suffering in
order to obtain their rights. Per-
sonally, l have had to surrender q
large part of my income in order %
be free to participate in the suffrage
movement"
Speaking with much feeling, Mrs.
Pankhurst fercely criticised man
made laws and said that the divorce
law alone was sufficient to justify a
revolution by the women.
In impassioned tones she declared:
Whatever may be my sentence, /
will not submit. From the very mo-
ment | leave the court l will refuse
to eat. l will come out Of prison,
dead or alive, at the earliest possible
moment"

SULzER ON WARPATH,
is LOOKING FOR BARNES
Says G. 0. P. Leader Must
Quit MGddIiRg in Senate

Albany, N. Y, April 3.-Govern or
Sulzer tonight accused VIM. Barnes,
Jr., chairman of the republican state
committee of having instigated a res
olution requesting the senate judiciary
committee to determine what, if any.
action should be taken by the senate o5
the Legislature in relation to pub
lished letter in which the governor
was quoted as having made pre-elec-
ton promise to sign the full crew bill.
''If Barnes doesn't keep out of the
senate l will go after Mr. Barnes" de-
clared the governor. Barnes is the
man who instigated that resolution
He is a part of the invisible govern
ment He has no business. meddling
with the Legislature. There would be
a howl if Mr. Murphy came here and
went into Senator Wagner's room and
drew resolutions against the governor
/ want Mr. Barnes to keep away from
the capital He is the republican boss.
The people do not want bosses up
here The people are the bosses now
Even if had promised / would sign
the full crew bill, it would be all right.
Governor Hughes and others promised
they would sign certain bills if thew
could get them passed. There is moth
ing wrong in that. l notice Governor
Fielder signed full crew bill yester-
day over in New Jersey Between the
railroads and the people, | am with the
people In my opinion, one human life
is worth more than a train of freight
cars"
Senator Brown denied that Mr..
Barnes had any part in drafting his
resolution. Governor Sulzer said Ia
day that John Fitzgibbons, of Oswego,
legislative representative of the
brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, had
denied the authorship of the letter ac-
credited to him in which the statement
was made that tn governor had prom
ised to sign the full crew bill if ell

NEXT MONDAY
MANAGER WEBER RETURNS
Men Signed Should Come in
Pretty Soon

Not before Monday will the local
baseball team get its first practice.
Manager Weber has returned fro II
his trip to Savannah and reports tn
securing of a bunch of good players.
These will not likely report here be-
fore Saturday or Sunday.
Manager Weber has been in con-
ference with members of the local bail
club since his return from Savannah.
He hopes to have a strong contingent
of young players on the local diamond
for practice next Monday At that
time nearly all, if not all, the players
he has signed will have reported for
practice
Gratifying progress is being made OF
the baseball diamond and grounds. The
traction engine has leveled off the
diamond and part of the outfeld so
that the grounds are in very good
shape. A good deal of dirt has been
added to build up certain places, so
that the small clods in these places
make the surface rather irregular. It
may take some time to get the surface
we'll leveled The fence and grand
stand are in much better shape, while
the bleachers have been rebuilt.

LARGE FOR THIS SEASON
2SO Bales We're Disposed Of
in Lot

The sale yesterday of 29O bales of
cotton at the warehouse of Mr.. L. G.
Council was the largest effected here
in several months, and was of interest
in local warehouse circles. The cot
ton was of several grades, and own
ed by Sumter county farmers who had
been holding for an expected advance
in the market, the sale netting them
an amount near $4,000. The cotton
was sold to Mr. Robert Lipscomb, To-
cal representative for We'll Bros, and
the shipment of this large lot will
serve to reduce warehouse stocks in
Americus to 700 or 500 bales.

PRESIDENT And
Committee BUSY
WITH PROBLEMS
WRESTLE WITH INCOME TAX
Question Of Free Wool is
Settled

Washington. D. C., April 8. - The
democratic majority of the house
committee on ways and means has
assembled today at what is expected
to be the final meeting before the
tariff revision bill is laid before the
democratic CAUCUS next Tuesday With
the points of difference between Pres
ident Wilson and the committee SET
tied by an agreement on free raw wool,
the interest shifted to a large extent
to free sugar and the details OF the
income tax plan
Members of the committee wers
prepared to receive a final word from
the president regarding the tariff
measure and to devote muc4l or t.6ay
to consideration of the income tax.
There is a possibility of a change
in the provisional rate of l per cent.
on amounts above the exempted S4,-
900 year, running up to 4 per cent.
On 100000 or more a year. In con
nection with the framing of the new
permanent feature of the government
revenue system, a consideration of
the question of fiexibility of the rates
so as to meet emergencies i'm the gov
ernment's needs has invoked an iss1e
as to the constitutionality of any
provision that would permit the presi.
dent by proclamation or otherwise TO
change any income tax rate :
The income tax plan Will absol
much of the administrative details uf
the present corporation tax law; will
be administered by the present, but
enlarged internal revenue machinery
of the treasury department and will
be based on the incomes for a single
years operations instead of an aver
age of number of years as had been
suggested to the committee
The cost of collection of The tax, it
is estimated. will not exceed ] pt
cent of the aggregate revenue from
that source.
1t is figured that probably at least
two-thirds Of the income tax can be
collected under the principle of col
lection at the source The purpose cf
this method is to minimize the III
quisitorial features and lessen the
basis of individual complaint. This
ic largely based on the workings of
the law in Great Britain, which, ac-
cording to information laid before the
committee, collected $2o0,0o0,00o from
an income tax.
AS to all incomes by which the tax
is so measured and paid, the individ-
ual taxpayer would not be required
to make a personal return The goy-
ernment. corporations, co-partner-
ships and persons paying annual
earnings to employees or other per-

dinal Raphael Merry del Val, the papal
secretary of state. Great as is his po-
sition and power at the vatican, he is
still comparatively young man, for he
was born on Oct. 10, 1855, and will
celebrate his 4sth birthday today. He
is a Spaniard of Irish descent, and
was born in London where his father
was secretary to the Spanish embassy.
The pontifcial secretary was educated
at Slough, Ushaw college in Durham.
and in Rome and in his student days
was known as "the Merry Devil" He
is descended, from an Irish family that
settled in Spain about three centuries
ago.
when he was appointed a papal envoy
to Queen Victoria's jubilee, and a little
later he represented the pope at the
funeral of Emperor William l. He was
also the vatican's representative at
the coronation of King Edward. He
was made archbishop of Nicosia in
1900, and he was only 80 when he re-
ceived the red hat of the sacred col
lege. Merry del Val was secretary to
the congregation that elected Plus x
to the papal throne, and Plus then
made him pontificar secretary of state,
the most important office within the
gift of the pope.
Merry del Val was given a number
of important diplomatic missions early
in his career. One of these was the
settlement of the Manitoba school con-
troversy, long a religious and political
issue in Canada.
The cardinal speaks English, Span
ish, French, German, italian and Latin.
He is fond of golf and other outdoor
sports, and, strange to say, is base
ball "fan." He knows the names and
records of all the leading big league
players and follows the pennant races
with great interest. He became inter-
