T0REIGN PROTESTS PREVAIL

bjectionab Administrative Features
tpItered to Overcome Objections
Made by Them.
]. NV ashington, June %. = Radical
sssIhanges in the income tax plan OF the
Underwood tariff bill and alteration
The administrative features OF the
fieasuer to overcome most of the OBJ
Kecti0ns raised by foreign governments
sgere agreed upon in tentative way
Ty the Democratic members OF the
ellate finance committee.
The income tax under the new plan
wpuid apply to individual incomes
liver $4,000, but would make important
xemptions for individuals, municipal
ffies, civic bodies and mutual insur-
E,nce companies, under certain restric.
ions.
Changes IL the administrative sec
lions Include a new provision giving
ne pre- sdenr authority to increase the
tariff duties against certain foreign
articles coming from countries that
discriminate against the United States.
The proposed five per cent conces-
sion in tariff goods brought in Ameri-
San ships; the anti dumping clause,
and the provision giving United States
authorities "inquisitorial powers" to
Examine books of foreign manufacture
ers when the. valuation of goods is in
dispute, were stricken out. These
provisions brought protests from many
foreign nations.
4 Democrats OF the committee made
it clear that some further changes
might be made in the income tax and
administrative sections before they
were reported to the senate caucus,
but the revised sections as made pub
aic are expected to stand with but lit
tile alteration until the caucus reaches
them.
Chairman Simmons; of the finance
committee, secured agreement to vote
upon both not later than four o'clock
To-day. No amendment to the
free wool provision has been offered,
but the majority senators. will have
an opportunity to express their opin-
ions on two sugar amendments. Sen

Ter Before the vote is taken and decide
ito concentrate their support behind
one amendment if the other is beaten.
LEADERS of the majority were conf
dent that despite the oratory against
free sugar it would be retained in the
bill and that only the two Louisiana
senators would be found opposed to ii
when the measure reaches the senate.
Under the proposed new form of the
income tax an additional exemption
of $1,000 would be allowed to married
men or married women with depend
ent wives or husbands, not taxable
under this law, and $500 would be
added for each dependent child living
with the dependent upon the taxable
parent In case of both parents being
taxable, however, no exemption for
children would apply

KILL YOUTH BY AIR
FORCED into MOUTH
Boy Dies After Fellow Workers
Initiate Abdomen.

Camden, N. J., June 25.-Joseph De
Fini, eighteen years old, employed in
the plant OF the Victor Talking Ma
chine company, died in the Cooper
hospital as a result of injuries suS-
tanned when two of his fellow work
men forced a tube down his throat
and filled his abdomen with COM
pressed air.
The cause of death was a rupture OF
the abdomen, caused by the admission
of compressed air. Detectives have ar
rested the two men on a charge or
atrocious assault and battery. They
are: Eugene Bysher, of Philadelphia,
and Walter Simon, of Camden, each
about twenty years old.
1t was learned by the detectives
that the other employees in De Fini's
department objected to his presence
because of his nationality. He IS an
Italian. For some time past they have
been making him uncomfo by
playing practIcaiN jokes On him. -
Bysher and Simon caught De Fini
in a dark corner of the room in which
he works and told him they We're go
ing 'to have some fun with him..
They threw him to the floor and then
forced a brass tube down his throat.
Although the youth cried for help
they attached a pump to the tube and
filled the youths stomach with COM
pressed air.
Later he was removed to the hospi-
tai in an unconscious condition The
doctors were nonplussed, as they
could obtain no intelligent history OF
the case, and could not understand
the strange symptoms. He died an
hour after he had been admitted, and
Coroner Bentley discovered the cause
of death. Immediately detectives were
sent to the factory, where they arrest
ed the two men.

WOMEN TO SEEK VOTE.
Legislature Will be Asked to Submit
Amendment to Constitution.

Richmond, Oct. 4.-That the next
general assembly of Virginia will be
asked to submit to the qualified vot-
ers voters of the state for ratifica
ion an amendment to the constitu-
ton, whereby women shall have the
right Of suffrage equal to that be-
slowed upon men, indicated by petit
ton of this nature which has made
its appearance on the streets Of Rich
mond.
The petition comes from the Equal
Suffrage League of this city and is
being circulated by members of the
league who, it is understood, will de-
mand hearing before both branches
of the assembly.
4. gleat number of suffrage lead
ers have gone on record as being OPP
posed to an amendment to the federal
constitution giving women the right
to vote because it is inimical to the
principle of states rights,and, many
contend, would never be ratified by
the Southern States.
1t is also understood that a bill
differing somewhat from the one III
troduced at the last session of the
general assembly has already been
prepared and will be placed in the
hands Of a strong member for intro
luction early in the next session.
The petition now in circulation in
Richmond reads as follows:
petition to the General Assembly
of Virginia"
"We the undersigned citizens OF
Virginia, over 81 years of age, do
hereby respectfully petition your
honorable body to propose and sub
nit to the qualified voters for ratif-
cation an amendment to the constI-
tuition of Virginia whereby women
shall have the right Of suffrage
equal to that bestowed upon men"

raising to their farming. And they
continued to thrive for three CEN
turtles more-until 1890, when the first
white farmers came into the country
smelling out the fertile lands and stop
ping where. they saw the garden of
the Pimas made possible in that dry
country by the precious water Of the
ella. ri
Then began the destruction Of Sa-
eaton, the Pima reservation. The
whites went into the narrow valley
above the Indians and tapped the
river wherever they settled-first the
Mormons at ~Solomonsville, then
"Gentiles" at Florence and at other
points. BY 1905 Indian agents began
warning the government what was
going to happen, as colony after COL
only Of whites constructed their flimsy
wing dams and extended their irri-
cation canals.
The blow fell a year or so later
the first of seven years Of drought.
The river failed the Pimas almost en-
tirely; what water there was in the
ella vas diverted to the farmers Of
the whites farther up stream. For
seven years the Indians planted their
crops each spring after the freshet,
only to see them burn up by summer.
A bitter poverty fell upon them and
they were driven out to beg for work,
many OF them to become drunkards
and vagabonds.
1t is the boast of the Pimas that
their hands have never been stained
by the blood of white. men. They are
probably the only tribe which never
fought against the whites. On the
contrary, they gave shelter and pro-
lection to white refugees during the.
Apache and Navajo troubles and
furnished scouts to the American SOL
diers.
It was the fate of this gentle peo-
pie to receive the most scurvy and
contemplate treatment given to any
Indians by white men. They protest.

interests are beginning to understand
that there is to be a new order in
place of the old. We find many of
the hitherto arrogant corporations
manifesting an interest in the. dear
people which is entirely new; the role
is unaccustomed, but the corporations
will get used to it. Perhaps the inter-
est will ultimately become genuine.
So does practice accustom those who
indulge. And there are some corpo-
rations which have genuinely taken up
a system of publicity which they find
is to their oWn advantage, however
strongly they may have inveighed
against it, two years ago. In the bet
ter mutual understanding will be found
benefit both for corporation and public.
