Brides and White,

In olden days a bride of the poorer classes went to her wedding in white, as warning to the public that since she brought nothing to the marriage her husband was not responsible for her debts. At the beginning of the eighteenth century brides began to in- troduce touches of color into their cos tunes. Blue was for constancy and green for youth. Yellow was never worn, as it stood for jealousy.

FATHER OF THE SCHEME SAYS
1T WAS sMoTHERED BY THE
SENATE COMMITTEE

Washington, June 17.--A gradual
ed income tax on corporations having
capital stock of more than $1O0,000,-
900 and controlling more than one
fourth Of the production in their re-
speetive lines, was proposed to the
finance committee today by Senator
Hitchcock from the floor Of the SEN
ate. He stated that as the committee
had rejected his proposal to lay a
special tax upon the tobacco trust
he offered the new amendment as a
substitute.
4 propose to take these amend
ments to the democratic caucus, if the
finance committee rejects them. and
to carry them to the floor Of the
senate itself, il necessary" declared
the Nebraska senator as he faced
Chairman Simmons Of the finance
committee.
Senator ft1tchcoch eHpldlheu enat
his new proposal to tax the trusts
provided that on corporations control
ling one-third of the production, the
tax would be Is per cent Of their net
annual profits and on those control
ling 80 per cent, a tax Of 25 per cent
New York papers have denounced
my tobacco tax as socialistic," said
Senator Hitchcock. Il am ready to
accept anything socialistic if It will
do the work. do not think If we are
faced with big monopolizing products
in defiance of law and public opinion
and the spirit Of DEGREES of courts,
we should be too squeamish about the
method adopted for dealing with
them.
The amendment was formally refer
red to the finance committee.

clared before the senate lobby inyes-
tigation committee that th9 clauses
in the sundry civil bill now awaiting
President wilson's signature ezempt-
ing labor unions and farmers organ
izations from prosecution under the
Sherman antitrust law, represented
the work Of a lobby.
The American Federation Of Labor,
he declared. had lobbied for the ex-
emptions, although Samuel Gompers,
the senator said, had admitted to him
that It was class legislation, term
former President Taft used in veto
ing the bill last spring.
THE very bill on the presidents
desk this morning" he said. was
put through by a lobby Of labor or
ganizations; they know there is class
legislation in it. Samuel Gompers
admitted to me it was class legisla-
ton and that is the kind Of lobby |
think exists.
"Of course the American Federa-
ton has laDDy here dnnt con-
demn It. They have a right TO be
here; so have the sugar people and
the steel people and the others. T
think there is a very considerable
lobby here: there always has been

lit in the Titanic investigation and
the Mexican revolution. They are
here and they have right to be

Senator Smith added he knew John
Norris Of the newspaper people
had been here for free print paper.
"He was for it and I was against
it, said the senator. I own paper,
but am more OF protectionist
than a newspaper man., he added.
Temperance people had main-
tanned lobby in Washington.
you do not attach any odious slg-
nificance to the lobby, DO you2" asked
Senator Walsh
Il do not; It IS obstinate and often
unwise, but these people have right
to be here and be heard.
Senator Smith said he approved
of the use Of influence by presidents
He said that every president since
Cleveland had undertaken to influ-
ence legislation and added that il he
had been IN the White House he
would have done the same thing

The armcred train attack on Holly

Mr.. Morton described arranging for
the trip with Sheriff Bonner Hill, and
huying 81 rifles in Charleston to arm
the men on the train. Mr.. Morton
asserted that before the train reached
Holly Grove the lights were turned
down on the train because Sheriff
Hill said the train was likely to be
shot up Sheriff Hill was in charge
Of the train, according to Morton. He
said he saw a cabin crowded with wo-
men and children just before the train
reached Holly Grove.
1T was our belief" he said that
women and children had been remoy-
ed from there by the miners and that
we were going to have trouble.
fJust as we got 70 Holly Grove" he
said, = heard two shots that seemed
to come from the camp One window
in the car was broken and a second
later general fusillade, both from
the train and from the camp, was on
i shot, Of course, Just as everybody
else did"
