Quarrel Over Miss Boyd.
York told me several times he was

myself. But I never could get An ex-
PLANTATION Of why he new made any
deposits t the bank and why his bank
book was never balanced. York did m
elegant business at the time I knew

York seemed to be a sport He
was not close listed. He always head
ed the list When anyone wanted any
donations. He thinks a good deal OF
the ladies. Miss Boyd used to come
into the store quite often.

relatives of Mr.. Wheelock thought him
responsible for his death. He said he
came to me to say that he was mo- re.
sponsible and did not know what
caused my husband to do 1t. MI
Wheelock had not mentioned Mr.

that Mr.. York had come to him for ai-

Representative Hull, Tennessee. faith
err of the income tax legislation. said
to-day that more than sl00.000.000 in
government revenues will come to the
government.
Mr.. Hull contends that with this tax
to be adjusted for the first time by
Congress, the necessity for heavy ta-
riff burdens on the people will be re-
moved.
Flexible System of Revenue.
Defending his measure. Judge Hull
says:
THE largest yield OF our tariff taxes
has barely exceeded 1890, 000, 900, while
our internal and other taxes have been
less. This comparison indicates the
great Importance from the revenue
standpoint. of this new method of tax
alton. This tax proposes measurably
to equalize tax burdens, and at the
same time to afford the government
what it has never hada-a flexible and
elastic system of revenue
"To collect more than 100000, 900
incomes enables Congress to make
proper and sweeping reductions Of the
eXorbitant tariff rates heretofore COL
lected In each of the fourteen tariff
schedules. including those relating to
wool ard cotton manufactures, sugar
flax, hemp and jute, agricultural i'm
plemonts. Iron and steel manufactures
and I'm fact all articles OF common use
