GYPSIES AT FLORENCE.
Community Is Exercised Over tile
Presence of Wanderers.

Florence, Dec. 5.-This community
is very much exercised over a band
of gypsies that is said to have at
tempted to short change" practically
every bank and a number OF ner-
chants in the city. They we're ar
rested in what is supposed to have
been an attempt to short change the
Farmers and Merchants bank but a
trap set by Cashier Gilchrist, who had
learned OF other attempts, set the trap
for them, was sprung too quickly and
the light fingered artist escaped. They
were tried in magistrates court today
by jury and found not guilty. There
are two other warrants cut for the
women. They approach a counter,
buy something or ask for change for a
large bill, hand back part Of tho mon
ey they receive and ask for some
thing different while a second party
attracts the attention Of the clerk.

st. Matthews, Dec 5.-Had Gen.
Huerta been on the Bridge" here last
night he would doubtless have con-
cluded that Gen. Villa, instead of
stopping before Chihuahua, had
come on and was assailing the city. a
perfect fusillade Of shots was fired
and the town was treated to it's fill
OF excitement. No one was hurt, the
chief damage being to nerves of the
timid. 1t seems that the Enloe family
of Orangeburg and Il. +. Antley have
been having some differences about
race horse lately. Mr.. Antley's horse,
which he was exhibiting at a Barn
we'll county fair, went astray on his
return to ST. Matthews. Search by Mr..
Atnley found the horse in the posses
sion Of the Enloes, who own livery
stable Mr.. Antley received a mare in
place of his horse, which would indi-
cate a simple complication of ship
ping orders. Since then trouble seems
TO have been brewing. Late yesterday
evening the Enloes came to town and
inquired for Antley. Not finding him
at his residence, it is said, they got
his little girl to pilot them about his
premises in search Of harness to which
they laid claim, and later they ap-
peared on the streets and began to
state in unequivocal terms what they
would do if it were necessary to show
themselves. A crowd gathered and
Policeman Hane and Sheriff Hill sue
ceeded in getting the visitors to oc-
cuLy their car, which was standing
on the streets, under a promise to go
home. About this moment Antley
who had learned Of the conduct Of the
men about his premises appeared and
hot words followed. Then the car
began to move and shots began TO
pop. For a few moments the streets
seemed a place Of war, with the visi-
tors beating a hurried escape in their
honk wagon. Some shots are said to
have hit the car, and some Of the oc-
cupants had ciose calls. They were
brought back to town this morning
and fined.

INCOME TAX UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Measure Constitutes Glass Legislation,
Is Allegation Made I'm Test Suit i'm
Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. 3.-Charges that the
income tax section Of the new tariff
law constitutes class legislation and
is unconstitutional today were made
in a test suit filed here against the
Continental and Commercial Trust
and Savings Bank on behalf Of Miss
Elsie DeWolfe, OF New York.
Tic United States government prob
ably will be asked to aid in defence
of the bill, according to Levy Mayer,
counsel for the bank. who said he
would seek a conference with Attor-
ney General McReynolds to discuss
carrying the action to the United
States Supreme Court for a ruling.
The declaration filed by Bourke
Cochran, OF New York, and Colin
Fyffe, of Chicago, for Miss DeWolfe,
alleged that the tax violated the fifth
amendment to the Constitution in that
1t deprived her Of her property with
out due process of law and that it vio-
lated the fourteenth amendment in
denying her equal protection under
the law.
The graduated scale of taxation, the
declaration alleged, unjustly discrimi-
mated against persons of incomes un-
der 100000 year, usually gained
from industrial and artistic pursuits, -
in favor of those with incomes more
than 500, 900 a year.
Miss DeWolfe was an actress. She
retired from the stage in 1905 and at
present is in Paris

DEMOCRATS FEAR
FOR SENATE LEAD
REPORTED SENATOR HITCH
COCK WILL BOLT TO
REPUBLICANS.

Washington, Dec. 5.-That Senator
g. M. Hitchcock, of Nebraska, who has
been one of the chief "buckers"
against the administration tariff and
currency bills, is preparing to bolt the
Democratic party is a report generally
circulated and generally believed
among his colleagues in the upper
branch of congress.
1t has created CONSERVATION among
Democratic members of the senate
whose majority is very narrow at the
best, and who are hanging on to pow
ar by the eyebrows, as it were. They
fear 1t means that from this time
forth Hitchcock will be a thorn IN
the flesh of the majority and will be
a constant menace to Democratic su-
premacy in the upper chamber
Hitchcock's perveiseness in fighting
currency legislation has led some Of
the Democratic solons, high up in the
leadership of the party, to do some
quiet investigating and they have
come to the conclusion that he is plan
ming to cut the ties that bind him to
the Democratic party. That means,
they say, that he will not run fer re-
election to the senate in 1916 as a
Democrat, but as a Republican or in
dependent of the stripe CT George w.
Norris, who came to the senate after
tighting Cannonism in the house ana
leading the ruction which resulted In
throwing Uncle Joe off of the commit
tee on rules. The understanding here
Is that Hitchcock is planning to an.
peal to about the same class of voters
as Mr. Norris appealed to.
If Hitchcock should change his par.
ty affiliations, as 1t is said he intends
all, so exceedingly strange about the
| proceeding as his father was dis
| tinguished Republican and represent
ed his state in the United States sen
! Hitchcock flops, however, it will mean
a commotion in Nebraska politics, al.
though as personal political move II
is regarded by his party leaders here
as very adroit. Hitchcock is at outs
with Bryan and could not hope in
any event to have the support of the
Bryan followers, and that means the
Wilson followers, for reelection.
If he ran for denomination as a
Democrat he would have to fight the
Bryan-Wilson element, while Iii he
makes a record, as he evidently Is
trying to do, that would appeal to the
independent and progressively inc,in.
ed Republicans he might together
with his own personal following in the
Democratic party, be able to pull
through.
