HELD COURT IN A RIVER.

The Attorney Was In . Hurry, and the
Judge Was Accommodating.
To act in a legal capacity while en-
joying morning swim-surely a
unique record in the annals Of law
once fell to the lot Of Vice Chancellor
Shadwell
The then Duke Of Newcastle had
commenced to cut down the timber at
Clumber in such a rapid and wholesale
manner as to raise the anger Of his
eldest son, Lord Lincoln, who, finding
expostulation useless, turned to the
law and sought an injunction to re
strain his father. Although it was
long vacation, he ordered his solicitor
to press matters forward, for the mag.
nificent trees were falling at an alarm
ing rate.
So up to town posted the attorney
and had the afidavits drawn up the
same night. The following morning
he repaired to the vice chancellors
house on the banks Of the Thames, to
find on his arrival that the chancellor
had gone for his mornings swim.
With exemplary presence of mind he
chartered a boat and after stir pull
came up with the Judge and at once
stated his case. Meanwhile the vice
chancellor trod water and, on the in
junction being formally applied for
granted it forthwith and resumed his
swim.-Tit.B Bits.

The Man With the Umbrella.

One Of the famous sculptors Of Paris,
a man renowned for his resourceful-
ness and his humor, was caught in a
downpour of rain and took refuge in
a doorway. There was no taxi to be
obtained, the fiacres that passed were
full, and there was no prospect Of the
rain abating. At the moment a gen
tleman passed, well dressed and carry
ing a large umbrella. The sculptor
saw his opportunity. shook hands with
the stranger and installed himself I'M
der the umbrella. 1t was a coinci-
dence that they should have met. He
had been looking out for his acquaint-
ance for the past fortnight. He talked
necessarily about a hypothetical fam
lily and other matters until they reach
ed the studio. Then the sculptor dis
covered his mistake and apologized.
The apology was accepted coldly, so
the man with the umbrella was fnvit-
ed to inspect the studio. He declined

MOUNT ROBSON PARK
ATTRACTS CLIMBERS
New Playground Contains
Five Thousand Square
Miles.

VICTORIA, B. c., March 26.-The
new national playground of five thous-
and square miles, much of which still
is unexplored. unmapped and unknown
and which the provincial administra-
ton has proposed to create and call
Mount Robson Park. comprises some
of the widest and most picturesque
areas on the continent The fact that
only one man has yet scaled Mount
Robson's precipitous heights. Rev G.
r. B. Kinney. has fired the zeal of the
Canadian Alpine club and arrange
ments are now being made for locating
the 1913 summer camp of that hardy
sportsmen's organization near the
foot of Mount Robson which towers in
almost a sheer wall II 900 feet above
the valley. The camp will be just out
of range of the avalanches which slide
from it's summit almost to the lake at
it's foot. Members Of the English AL
pine club and Alpine climbers from
the United States are expected to join
in the first general assault on the dizzy
summit, reached by scaling precepices
such as are not attempted in Switzer-
land.
Little information about the district
which will be included in the proposed
national park, like Yellowstone in the
United States and Jasper park in
hnI N-I
Minister of Lands w. r. Ross made
his memorable speech advocating it.
THE Pathfinders and engineers for
the Grand Trunk Pacific railway which
Is building through central British
Columbia to Prince Rupert on the
coast found cateracts which exceed in
height that of Niagara" he said
"They found mighty rivers which
existing maps showed fifty miles out
of their place; the found rivers and
lakes that TEEN with fish and rugged
wild alive with big game. All this Is
set in an expanse of sublime gran
deur."
In report from DIR. Charles M.
Walker, geologist, attached to the
Smithsonian institution he declared
that he has seen all the unusual noun
tain areas in the Rockies from the Rio
Grande to the Yellowhead Pass and
that the Mount Robson area, with the
added charm of being absolutely
primeval, is the most striking and pic
turesque of them all. He urged that it
was a duty to future generations to
preserve intact the vista through the
pass at the end of which looms Mount
Robson.
The lowest part of the proposed
park will be 5000 feet above sea level,
nat suitable for agricultural exploita-
tion.. and surrounded by heights which
are covered with forests to remote
from transportation to allure the log
ger to their Businesses.

In his capacity of stage director and
producer Henry Miller has given the
theatre going public many pleasurable
thrills and surprises. He is probably
the only genuine American rival of the
famous David Belasco in point of eff
fective stage lighting and unique pic
toral grouping of characters and ac-
cessories into scenes, and of success

Mr.. Miller has a wonderful genius for
inserting the wholly unexpected hap

Provisions of The Act.
The income tax amendment as
adopted by the states in January pro-
vided that congress shall have power
to levy and collect taxes, from what
ever source derived, without appor-
tionment among the several states and
without regard to any census or emu
meration" That left the amount and
manner in which the tax shall be
levied up to congress to decide in suit
able legislation.
The fight to enact an income tax
has been agitated through many ad-
ministrations. At one time an income
tax bill was passed by congress and
signed by the chief executive but on
being carried to the supreme court it
was found to be unconstitutional
Advocates of the measure then took
the fight back to congress in the form
of a proposed amendment to the
United States constitution making the
levy of such a tax constitutional. On
July 81. 1909, they succeeded in pass
ing a resolution through both houses
of congress providing for the submittal
of the amendment to the states.
The first to ratify the amendment
was Alabama. The legislature of this
state voted ratification on August 10
1909. BY the end of 1910 the amend.
ment had been approved by eight
states In 1911 the number was In.
creased to 80. In 1912, Arizona, Ar
kansas, Louisiana. and Minnesota fell
! into line and in January of the presen,
year the total number of ratifyine
states was brought up to So, the need
ed number. making the income tar
amendment automatically a part Of
the constitution

Coming Session.

WASHINGTON, March ga fight
on income tax legislation, which may
equal the coming battle on the tariff,
has been fomenting in Washington and
will break the converting of the 63rd
Congress, according to those convers-
ant with the situation here today.
Behind the fght are believed to be
some of the most wealthy men in the
United Statesmen whose fortunes
run into the hundreds of millions and
whose share of the income tax must
necessarily be heavy. That these
forces will be able to decisiEely de-
feat the measure was regarded today
as impossible, but it was thought that
a postponenlent of income tax legis-
1ation and a final settlement upon a
minimum tax might be accomplished.
AS the matter now stands the Demo
cratic party has gone on record as
favoring the enactment of this legisla-
ton, but there is yet to be drafted a
bill defining the nature and amount of
the tax to be levied upon fortunes.
Construction of Bill.
The construction of this bill Is the
point upon which the attack will be
made. In the past income tax legisla-
ton has called forth much oratory
and discussion with it's attendent de-
lay. Similar results were predicted
today for the future
The fact that the Senate carries but
slight Democratic majority and that
wdie difference of opinions exists
among the legislators as to the exact
amount of such tax was also regard
ed as favorable to the campaign Of the
interests.
Another feature taken into consider
alton by those who have predicted a
long standing discussion over this
class of legislation is the fact that
the men who will be hardest hit by an
income tax have been in the past
among the largest contributors to cam
paign funds in the United States
Among these are number of con-
tributors to both the Democratic and
Republican war chests
Possible Tax Income.
The following table has been COM
piled showing the amount which may
most actively engaged in business and
politics. In all cases the compilation
has been made upon the basis advocat-
ed in the last income tax bill to fail
in congress. This bill was introduced
in 1912 and provided for 1 per cent
tax on all incomes over $4,000 an
nually. The figures used in estimating
the fortunes of the men involved are
regarded as conservative by those
making the compilation The first
figures are estimates of wealth, the
second set amount of tax at per cent,
third set tax at l per cent:
