misunderstanding of Panel.

New York, Sept 22.-Evidence that
Hans Schmidt ana "Dr." Ernest Muret,
his dentist friend, planned a campaign
of murder for the purpose of collecting
life insurance money reached the po-
lice, today. 1t tended to explain the
blank death certificates found in
Schmidts room.
The evidence came from a physician,
who told Inspector Faurot of the de-
teetive bureau that Schmidt and Maret,
short time ago, tried to arrange with
him to issue death certificates in the
event of sudden death" of persons
just insured.
Il cannot divulge at this time the

-Xeavief>Tax on the Incomes.

Washington, Sept. 22.-Apprehension
lest the Democratic tariff bill lead for
eign nations to impose tariff penalties;
against the United States as soon as
the new law goes into effect caused
administration and Senate leaders, to-
day, to plan the introduction of a joint
resolution in Congress making specti'
provision for the continuation of eX-
listing relations with all countries un-
til President Wilson has time To ne
gotiate new trade agreements.
The seriousness of the situation that
will confront the administration Was
impressed upon Chairman simmons Of
the Senate finance committee, today,
by state department officials.
1t was pointed out that the trade
relations established by President
Tafts proclamations under the Payne
Aldrieh law of 1909 would terminate
as soon as the new law becomes cf-
fective and that the United States then
would face the possibility of having
higher tariff rates applied against it's
exports by many countries.
While the tariff law would give the
President authority To negotiate trade
require him 10 apply special penalty
rates against any countries discrim
mating against the United States.
To prevent the possibility of trade
war; the ~>stfte department is now
drafting joint resolution which will
provide that existing rates shall con
tinue for four months. This will not
keep in effect the tariff rates of the
Payne-Aldrich law. but will assure to
foreign countries that the new penalty
provision of the Underwood simmons
bill will not be applied to them until
a reasonable time has been allowed
the President and the state depart
ment to negotiate new trade treaties
Practically all nations having any for
eign commerce will be asked to en-
ter into such pacts.

Governor Suffers legal battle was
resumed, this AFTERNOON. when the
court of high Impeachment for his
trial for alleged high crimes and mis-
demeanors was called to order by
Judge Cullen at Q O'Clock. Louis J.
Marshall took up the argument upon
which he WAS engaged when the court
adjourned, on Friday. in which he held
that the Governor was demonstrations
ally impeached.
Mr. Marshall quoted precedent in
support of his contention that the
Assembly in extra session was en-
titled to consider only subjects called
to its attention by the Governors
There is not" he said, to be found
in the history of any of the states. a
single instance of the institution OF
impeachment proceedings at an ex~
traordinary session of the Legisla~
ture."
Answering the argument that the
Assembly exercised not Legislative
but judicial function. Mr.. Marshall held
that an impeachment was equivalent to-
an indictment and that the Assembly
exercised no other function than that
of grand jury.
1T will doubtless be argued that un-
der our Interpretation. the Governor
could not be impeached except at a.
regular session of the Legislature, sincs
it would be unnatural for him to rec
commend to the Legislature at an ex-
traordinary session the consideration
of the subject of his impeachment This,
it is claimed, constitutes reductio adj
absur1um of our contention.
That, however, is a complete beg
ging of the question. The mere fact
that the trainers of the constitution
have not provided for the contingency
of the impeachment of the Governor at
an extraordinary session. does not de-
prive the clearly conceived limitation
upon the powers of ain extraordinary

 TO CAPT. CUNNINGHAM FOR INFORMATION.

Capt. Cunningham received a tele- gram from Acting Governor Futrell this morning, asking for information as to how many squads from this company would be available for i'm mediate service along the Mississippi ! river front for the protection of the levees which are in danger. He an swered that at least two, and possi- 1 ply three, squads would be in readi- ness for immediate transportation to the overfowed districts.
 A call was made to the governor last night for several companies of militia to guard the levees in south east Arkansas, and he followed the above method in ascertaining the number of militiamen upon which he could depend in case of an emergency
 The militia will be used as guards or patrols along the levees much like the militiamen of several states last year were used along the Mississippi river in Mississippi and Louisiana The guardsmen will report any slight depression in the banks and in this way the minute weak spot appears lit can be given attention.
