Explains New Law.
Wisconsin income tax assessors
are receiving letters from the state
tax commission, which is letter of
instruction and explanation relative
to an important amendment to the
income tax law passed by the presens
legislature.
The law, contained in chapter 615,
as amended exempts from the income
tax all dividends received from state,
national mutual savings banks and
trust companies subject to taxation
by the state and also incomes of
building and loan associations. all re-
ligious, scientific, educational benevo-
lent or other corporations of individ-
uals not organized or conducted for
pecuniary profit.
1t also provides that the stockhold-
er may deduct dividends received
from his stock, that is, he will con-
tinue to report the dividends received
upon the first page of the income tax
blank and deduct them on the second
page.
1t will be necessary for the assess
ors, according to the letter, to this
year go over the returns and deduct
dividends received from the state and
national banks, savings banks and
trust companies in this district as the
law applies to the assessment of this
year upon incomes of 1912.
The provisions of the income tax
law permitting the offset of personal
property tax against the income tax
has also been amended so as to de
prive the owner of bank and trust
companies stock from using the re-
ceipt for the tax paid upon such stock
as an Offset against his income tax.

ARGUMENT IN SULlER CASE,
LENGTHY SPEECHES DELIVERED
BY MARSHALL AND PARKER.
Believed that Verdict Will be Rem.
dered Tuesday and Punishment will
be Fixed Then il Executive is
Found Guilty.

Albany, n. Y, Oct. 9.-Fifty thous-
and words of legal argument, scath-
ing denunciation of Gov. William Sui
ezr on the one side and of his accuscrs
on the other, delivered today by op-
posing counsel, brought a verdict in
the trial Of the impeached executive
one day nearer.
Another day will be occupied sim
ilarly tomorrow, at the end of which
the high court will go into executive
session, it is expected, to determine
procedure in deciding the guilt or in
nocence Of the accused. The court
probably will adjourn until Tuesday,
There Is some talk tonight, however
Of taking a vote Saturday. The pro-
cedure to be adoped will include the
manner Of deciding several constitu-
which was reserved until the end of
tional questions, determination Of
the trial. These include the impeach-
ability Of acts committed by the gov
ernOr before he took office and the
question whether the use of campaign
contribution given without restriction
constitutes larceny.
These matters, it is likely, will be
decided either Saturday Oh Tuesday in
executive session, after which the
doors will be thrown open and the
public admitted to hear the vote on
the verdict. Each of the eight arti-
cles Of impeachment will be voted
upon separately, it Is expected, and
there now being 81 members of the
court in attendance, 38 ayes will be
the necessary two-thirds majority to
convict. In the event Of a conviction
vote probably would be taken as to
whether the governor should be re-
moved from Office and another as to
whether he should be disqualified
from holding office in this State here
after.

CHARLESTON JURY's TASK.
Witnesses Are Examined After So
licitor Hands Big Batch of In
dictInents to Grand Jury.

Charleston, Oct. 9.--With over 500
liquor indictments before 1t the grand
jury OF Charleston has a large task
In prospect. Since Solicitor Peurifoy
handed the big batch to the inquisi-
toriaf body, witnesses have been ex-
amined and consideration given to
the cases and Judge Bowman has
charged twice as to the law.
There Is wide interest here in the
wholesale move TO bring alleged vio-
lators of the liquor statutes to task,
but with the cases running into the
hundreds and failure heretofore to
convict fresh In mind many are
skeptical Of results as the outcome of
this activity on the part of the Law
and Order league.
Whether the grand jury brings in
true bills or no bills cases given to
the solicitor for trial will not come
up before the next term.

AGAINST TARIFF CHANGE.
UNDERWOOD OPPOSED TO RE.
PEAL OF FIVE PER CENT
CLAUSE.
Following Conference with House
Leader, Folk, Solicitor of State
Department, Announces That no
Change Will be Made Now.

Washington, Oct. 9.--EffOrts to re-
peal the tariff bill clause providing
for q per cent. tariff discount on
imports in American ships met set
back today with the return to the
city of Representative Underwood,
chairman of the ways and means
committee. original champion Of the
clause.
After Joseph w. Folk, solicitor Of
the state department. who advocates
repeal of the provision, had talked
to Mr.. Underwood. he announced
there would be no development in the
matter for several days. 1t was also
stated that President Wilson's mind
on this subject still is open. Represen-
tative Underwood still emphatically
favors the provision and had no hesi-
fancy in saying so.
The tariff bill now Is q law and /
am for the bill as it stands" Mr..
Underwood declared. IF the presi-
dent thinks the issue is grave enough
to send a message urging the repeal
of the discount provision, or If he in
dicates that he wishes it repealed. /
Will call the ways and means commit
tee together to consider the idea. But
even then / would not favor O repeal
until thorough hearing had been
held and everything had been said on
both Sides"
Mr.. Underwood stated that he be-
lieved there was a misconception in
the departments regarding the clause
and that he believed 1t would work
out advantageously to this country.

IsoaL wolsM AND BOIL wEEvIn,
Now to Detect and Deal with the boil
Worm.

Washington, Oct. 10.-The Depart
inent of Agriculture has recently re-
ceived numerous inquiries about in
Jury by the cotton boil worm. espc-
cially In the eastern part of the belt.
In many cases this insect has been
confused with the boil weevil. and
several erroneous reports about the
occurrence OF that pest in new re-
gions. have thus become prevalent.
The boil worm Is the larva of q
moth. and is only very distantly re-
lated to the weevil which belongs to
the large natural group of beetles
The worm when first Matched is very
tiny. but grows rapidly. becoming
finally a little over an inch long. and
sreenish or brownish in color. The
weevil grub Is white and found only
within the cotton. square or boil. ii
never exceeds one-half inch In length.
In the case of the present outbreak
tho injury began so late In the season
that little can be done TO protect the
present crop. Nevertheless. a farmer
can insure the crop of the coming sea-
son against injury by the pest with
comparatively little truoble and ex-
pense. The action that should be TAX
en- wherever injury has occurred this
year Is To pick the cotton as quick
ly as possible and Immediately there
after To plow and harrow the fields.
This work will-result in the destruc-
tion OF the immature stages of the
worm which have passed just beneath
the surface OF the soil. In addition
to the effect In destroying the insect
the plowing and narrowing of the
fields will have very great value in
the way OF preparing for the crop
of the following season.
Methods OF control OF the boil worm
which n. applicable in different
seasns of the year are described.

c0TTlA MARKET is WEAK.
BROKE PAST THE THIRTEEN
CENT MARK.
Last Prices for Day Were 10 to -
Points Lower, With Tone Steady.

New York, Oct. 9.-The cotton mar
ket today broke through the 13 cent
level with January contracts selling at
1890. or about s4.65 per bale below
the high records of last week. Relief
from Atlantic storm apprehensions
and talk Of easier Southern spot mar
kets seemed to inspire general heavy
offerings, while stop orders were un-
covered during the progress OF the
decline. Covering and reports that
trade buyers had absorbed a good
many OF the contracts thrown over
during the morning steadied prices in
the later trading and caused rallies OF
nine To ten points from the lowest
with the close steady at a net loss of
10 to % points
The market was under heavy pres
sure almost from the start until prices
showed a net loss OF from 26 to 20
points
The opening was steady at an ad-
'e"sV VI tuicc potnts On OctODeT, lfi
sympathy with steady cables. but later
months were three to five points low
er. and after little irregularity the
market became very weak and un-
settled. Weather advices indicated
that the Atlantic storm had passed
inland and that there was no serious
damage In the interior. Some light
rains we're shown in the Southwest.
but generally speaking weather condi-
tions seemed favorable and evidently
led to n renewal OF the selling move
ment. which was checked yesterday
By fear Of Eastern belt damage. Of
ferings became a little less active be-
low 1895 for January, and the late
rally was helped by the more favor
able spot ndvices from New Orleans,
where private wires claimed that fac
tors were covering their tables and re-
fusing TO meet the decline. Houses
w..h Southern connection were among
the sellers during the morning.

Il
Line railroad car inspector, was kill
go early Monday when he was
run over by several cars of q freight
train. The accident occurred in the
| pc ssenger station yard just in front of
the small buildings alongside the
railroad track and opposite the pas
senger station. Dutton was engage9
in coupling the cars at the time ,
WIS knocked down and run ovc
cars on engine No. 981, pu)' - q
through freight between CHI ,ston
and Columbia.
The cOroner's jury at the close Of
the taking Of testimony at the inquest
Monday morning returned verdict
placing all Of the blame on the Coast
Line and it's employees, the verdict
Of the jury being THAT the said Lee
Drtton came to his death by being
ru over by an A. c.. l.. r. r. train
through the carelessness of signals
on the part of A. c.. L. r. r. en-
kployees, when Dutton was engaged in
the discharge Of his duty" Mr.. L. ID.
Jennings was present throughout the
inquest and prior to it, representing
the heirs Of the deceased.
'ahe killing as ascertained Monday
follows: The through freight from
/ Charleston rolled in about 5 o'clock
and threw off some cars and prepared
to lake on others. The shifting engine
carried the cabOose from the cars
which were thrown off to the rear of
the other cars which were to be at
tacned and it was coupled there, the
air brakes being coupled by Dutton,
this being a part Of his duty. Dut-
ton then went on alongside the cars
! towards the engine, examining them
to see If all of the brakes were fasten-
ed. Finding one unfastened he went
in between the cars to fasten it, AS
he knelt to couple the hose, the
swi'chman on the shifting engine,
seeing that the caboose had been
mace fast to the cars, gave the signal
to tae engineer on the shifting engine
to back up. This signal was seen by
Engineer Banks on the freight who
thou ght it was for him. He backed
! up and when the cars came together
they failed to couple and rolled back,
catching Dutton between the cars and
knocking him over. Four cars pass
ed over his body, which from the
waist down was fearfully mangled.
The body was dragged for the dis
tance of two carlengths. DuttOn
still alive was taken into the
bagg age room by Yard Master Bald
win and Station Agent Bostick, where
he died a few minutes later, before
the GOctor, who had been summoned,
coulC arrive.
The accident occurred about SIS
a. m and the corOner's inquest was
held at 10 o'clock. At the inquest
G. j. Fritz, the fagman on the train
S91, was the only witness who had
seen the accident. Other witnesses
were DR.. Archie China, A. c.. L.
/ physician; +. p. King, an A. G. L.
employee and T.. w. Baldwin, night
yard master, and Hunter Hodge,
another A. c. l.. employee. The tes-
timony of practically all Of the wit
nesses was to the effect that the acci-
dent was caused by the mistake in
signals.
Fl. Lee Dutton, the deceased, has
been living in Sumter for a number
OF years. The pathetic part of the
killing is the fact that the deceased
leaves a young widow and two little
children, who depended upon his sup
port.

POSTPONE GAMES
CLOG PEN MAR SCHEDULE

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEWARK. May 26-At special
meeting OF the Pen-Mar League held
here Saturday night, arrangements
for playing off some of the postponed
games on Decoration Day we're dis
oussed. There are a number Of post
poned games. and as the schedule
does not call for any games on Fri
day it was thought best for teams
that can TO play on that day before
there are any more postponed con-
tests. Il is likely that some Of the
managers will arrange for games on
Friday.
Professor C. A. Short president OF
the league, received encouraging re-
ports relative to the umpires that he
appointed. The reports were to the
effect that the umpiring to date has
been fairly good. The reports that
number Of players we're about to
Jump to the Tri-county League were
discussed. II was the general opinion
Of the managers present that there
will he few II any desertions to the
Tri-county organization. 10 was de-
cided that in case any Of the present
players on the Pen-Mar teams plan
one game on any Tri-county League
club. he shall be barred from the for
mer organization for the remainder of
the season.
