LANES WEDDING
COCKTAIL FOR TtlEF T

NEW YORK. Dec. s.--when Miss
Grace Legendre, formerly head book
keeper at the Georgian hotel. was ar
raigned today on a charge Of forgery.
she blamed her downfall on a cock
tail she drank four years ago at a
wedding. where she acted as one OF
the brides attendants This one cock
tail. she said. had caused her to be-
come SO fond of liquor and good liv-
ing that 1t had blunted her sense OF
honor In financial dealings She was
held In $4,000 for trial
Miss Legendre Is charged specifically
with getting s4oe from the hotel, but
It is said that she took between s2,-
00o and $4,000. Part of this money
went to satisfy her love for drink and
finery she said. and part to pay pre-
vious employers from whom she had
taken money. Three firms for whom
she has worked are said TO have lost
50, 900 through the young woman. and
to have agreed not to prosecute her
II she would pay back their losses.
Miss Legendre is about thirty-two
years old. and her features show that
few years ago she was a woman OF
unusual beauty.

Attack on Income
Tax Legality Made
in District Court
BURKE COCHRAN, COUNSEL FOR
COMPLAINANT, IN ILLINOIS,
GIVES REASONS.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.---A complaint
attacking the constitutionality of the
new income tax was filed today in the
United States court for the Northern
district of Illinois, by w. Burke Cock
ran. acting as counsel for Elsie de
Wolfe.
The complaint alleges that tho new
law Is not uniform throughout the
United States, as required by section
eight, article one. OF the constitution.
and that the tax grossly violates
every element Of equality before the
law"
One OF good many interesting
charges against the tax Ia that II
discriminates against persons pos
sessing n moderately comfortable In
come In favor OF those who enjoy in
comes OF such size that they cannot
spend what they have.
Again 1t is set forth that the tax
Is imposed On but $4,000 persons
out of a population of some 90, 0o0.-
600, and the 'said persons or class on
said tax have never consented to its
imposition"
The attorneys of record are Fyffe
& Ryner a Chicago firm. The de-
PENDANT in the case Is the Continental
and Commercial Trust and Savings
hank. a corporation organized under
the laws Of Illinois. The plaintiff is a
resident OF New York State. residing
at Versailles, France.
The complaint is based on the re-
fusal OF the Continental and CONNER
cial Trust and Savings bank, to pay
coupons on bonds OF the Appalachian
Power company, a Virginia corpora
ton. because the plaintiff declined to
sign certificate prescribed by the
United States government, stating
whether or not she claimed exemp
ton from the tax levied against GER
tain incomes by the income tax.

Make Another Appeal to
President for Weight of His
Influence.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 3.--The National
American Woman Suffrage convention
determined today To send a committee
TO see President Wilson, and urge upon
him the desirabiiity of making at least
one OF his promised later messages 10
congress deal with the question OF ma
ton wide woman suffrage
This was an aftermath OF the ex-
citing scene enacted in the convention
hall last night, when the resolution of
criticism was passed by unanimous
vote. and amidst scenes of wild en-
thusiasm. The determination took the
form of resolution introduced by Mrs.
Medtll Mccormick, which. like it's pre-
decessor of last night, received 8
unanimous vote on Its final passage.
Consideration of the resolution was
the first business of the afternoon sss-
sion, which followed the busy morning
hearing before the house committee on
rules. In presenting her resolution
Mrs. Mccormick said:
The Resolution.
"Since the president omitted all men
ton OF woman suffrage In his message
of yesterday. and since he has an
nounced that he will send several other
messages to congress. outlining the
measures which the administration Wal
support, I move that this convention
wait upon the president in order to lay
before him the Importance of the suf-
frage question. and urge him to make
1t an administration measure. and send
Immediately to congress the recon-
mendation that II proceed with this
measure before any other. also move
that committee of two be appointed to
make the arrangements with the presi-
dent"
A small minority Of the convention
expressed the view that the words be-
fore any other" should be stricken from
the resolution as introduced by Mrs.
Mccormick. For nearly an hour the
convention debated this point. but in

ly that the senate will vote tomorrow

ness--the Hetch Hetchy biil---was laid
before the senate. Senator Gallinger
suggested vote ought to be taken on
the resolution tomorrow.
Efforts for an agreement for unan-
imous consent for date to end de-
bate on the currency bill. and take a
vote. were blocked by disagreement
between Republicans and Democrats
as to the date. Democratic senators
were willing TO take vote on any
date not later than December 2lst
but the Republicans seemed unwilling
to agree to any date before Christ

An acrimonious debate on the
merits of the resolution. and on the
merits OF the respective currency bills,

speaker for the Republicans He
charged the Democratic leaders with
unfairness IN seeking to prevent fair
discussion of the bill
Senator Owen insisted that the Re

that but for their dilatory tactics the
bill would be law already

In this statement he is expected to
point out a number of alleged de-

these is the fact that no one of the
accounting committee sees the vouch-

entire work of the committee is based
on these vouchers, and the receipts.
