time in the country's history, a tariff
on raw or undressed furs has aroused
loud protests from furriers and the
sub committee headed by Senator john
son which has the sundries schedule
under consideration is studying the sit
uation. The Underwood bill proposes
rate of 10 per cent on raw furs. One
brief filed with the committee by Joseph
Ullman of New York stated that duty,
no matter how small, on raw furs would
completely destroy an international
trade which United States fur mer-
chants have built up. Fur skins are
free in all foreign countries, except
Russia, which has very small speci-
ic duty by weight. The brief set forth
that under the most favorable cireum-
stances the estimated amount of reve-
nue. from such duty, which the ways
and means committee put at s1,400, 600,
would fall decidedly below one-half
this amount and insisted that the tariff
would result in loss to American
merchants of $6,000,000 annually.
1t was reported tonight that the sub
committee considering the income tax
mas about decided to amend the bill
so as to give genuine mutual life in
surance companies exemption. The
measure. it was said, would not be fiat
ly amended to exempt mutual life in
surance companies from the tax, but
provision would be made whereby such
companies, after the tax had been as
sessed, might have an opportunity to
show that their business was not con-
Quoted for profit. Upon the companies
would rest the burden of the proof as
to whether they would be entitled to
exemption.
Automobiles costing not more than
$1,000, it was learned tonight, will be
slated for 80 per cent ad valorem
tax instead of 45 per cent as in the
Underwood bill. This will be in the
report of Senator Stones sub commit
tee. In the meeting of the full chm
mittee another amendment may be
adopted TO further decrease the tax on
automobiles costing less than $500.
All automobiles costing more than $1,000

Preceding his election the popular presi-

mendous success and for bending his
every energy to make this occasion the

Had Head Lying on Rail
When Discovered Too
Late by .MOtOrman
NOTHING FOUND TO
AID IDENTIFICATION
Was Dressed Entirely in Black-Hand-
bag Contained Numerous Articles,
But Nothing of Value.
Body Brought to City

An unidentified white woman, appar-
Gently about As years of age, was struck
and instantly killed last night about 1850
O'Clock by a Boyles street car. The ac-
cident occurred on the Vanderbilt trestle
on Forty-ffth street, between Fifteenth
and sixteenth avenues.
According to statement made by D.
M. Hornsley, who was in charge of the
scar as motorman, the woman was stand
ing by the side of the treste with her
.head lying on the rails. The trestle where
the accident occurred is only a few feet
high The motorman said that he could
not see the woman until it was too late
to stop the car.
The corner of the car struck the
woman on the forehead crushing the
skull and causing instant death. She
was badly cut and bruised about the
face and head, although her body was
not mutilated.
/ peculiar feature of the accident, or
suicide, as the police hold, is that al
though the woman had a number of ar
Fticles in a small handbag there was alb
solutely nothing on her by which she
fcould be identified
Picked Up by Crew of Car
The body was picked up by the crew
of the car and several passengers. There
was a physician on the car, who ex-
amined the injured woman and pro-
nounced her dead. The body was car
ried to Birmingham and removed to the
Undertaking establishment of Shaw &
Son, where it will be held pending iden-
tification.
OFFICERS T. u. Williams and q. F. Hol-
slums boarded the street car few blocks
from where the accident occurred and
investigated the womans death. No ar
rests were made the officers being con-
WINGED that the accident was unavoid-
liable.
Williams Makes Statement
Officer Williams made the following
statement in regard to the matter:
My partner Hollums, and | boarded
the car few blocks from where the ac-
cident happened and investigated the
death of the woman. d. NJ. Hornsley,
the motorman, made the following state
ment to us: We were going toward
Boyles and when we had gotten on the
Vanderbilt trestle I saw a woman stand
ing beside the trestle. She had her head
on the rail. She was about one-third
of the way across. l tried as hard as
could to stop the car, but 1 couldn't, ano
the side of the car struck her forehead
knocking her down.

Senator with a smile. He said he was
unable to give a list of all those who
had been to see him but produced a
list of men who had appeared before
the sub committee of which he was a
member, adding that he believed each
one had also called up him personally

est of men in their business, l should

ator Cummins.
Embarrassing Position
That puts me in an embarrassing po-
sition of criticizing all men who appeared
before the committee, and besides [ did
not read more than the headlines of the
Presidents statement Senator Hughes
replied.
The New Jersey senator said he would
have gotten along better II about S5 per
cent of his callers had not come. He
declared a favorite method of approach
ing him had been for delegations of Ia
boring men to come to him with an ap-
peal not to hurt their business
Senator Johnston of Alabama testified

garding dog biscuits.

President knew just what he was talk
ing about" declared the senator. He
said he did not know to what extent
social lobbying was being carried on
at this time
Senator LaFolette of Wisconsin test-
fed he was interested in the publication
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-04

of a weekly paper owning most of the
stock, but said he did not believe 1t
would be affected by any item in the
tar1n. He said he owned farm and
an interest in some zinc bearing lands in
wisconsin, which since the Payne A ldrjch
law had been producing small royalty.
-Four years ago Senator LaFolette said
he was interviewed in regard to hides the
interviewer informing him that he already
had engaged page or two of ADVERTISE
ment In his magazine. II told him If he
did not hurry to the, telegraph office [
would beat him in ordering cancellation
of his advertisement declared the SEN
ator.
Union Men Kept
Replying to questions about persons be-
ing maintained in Washington to look
after legislation. Senator LaFollette said
the American Federation of Labor and
the Seamen's union kept men here ''iin-
der my definition of the term that is

he said kept men here. his understanding
being that there was an organization If
lawyers in Washington that worked up
claims.
Years ago lobbying was of a coarser
kind than at present" the senator told
the committee. The old bargain and sale
method Is out of date. Later .he interests
elected men to look out for them from the
inside. In the last six or seven years the
representatives of the special interests
have fast disappeared"
"A legislator should stand In the same
attitude as a judge" Senator LaFollette
declared. II would make it an offense to
speak privately to a senator about pub
lie business"
Senator James of Kentucky, a majority
member of the finance committee said he
had seen swarms of tariff men in Wash
ington, but he was not certain whether
they We're lobbyists. A lobbyist he de-
csribed as one who hung around and
nudged up to say something to you about

swering Senator Reed, he said there was
no doubt that determined effort was be-
ing made to keep up the tariff rates. Sem

struck her. The trestle where the acci-
den occurred is only about waist high"
All efforts to identify the woman last
night We're unaYailing. There was abso-
lutely nothing on her person that gave
any clue as to who she was. She Is
apparently about As years of age, has
dark brown hair. is medium height and
weighs about $50 pounds. She has a
broad forehead, aquiline nose. small
mouth and firm chin. She was dressed
entirely in black at the time of the ac-
cdent and carried a small black hand
bag.
Many Articles in Handbag
In this handbag there was an assort-
ment of articles, although nothing of i'm
portance. There were two small purses.
one containing / cent and the other 2
cents. There were four pairs of spec
tacles, none of which was broken. Other
articles in the bag were: A black rib
bon, comb an undervest, two hand
kerchiefs. a pair of hose. a bar of toilet
soap, a bottle of hair tonic, a clothes
brush, a metal drinking cup, box of
face powder, a black lace collar a hand
kerchief with a key tied to one corner,
a set of false teeth, two spools of black
thread. pair of shoestrinBs, a mirror,
a pair of scissors. a pencil, thimble,
a box of cough tablets. a package of
needles and a paper of pins. 1t is
thought she had been shopping.
The only writing that was in the bag
was two answers to advertisements in
the daily papers offering the services OF
a cook. On a piece of paper, apparently
torn from a sheet on which an answer
had been written, tNe dead woman had
evidently begun an answer to one of the
inquiries. The writing was in pencil and
almost illegihle. Tt read:
