KILLED GIRL: TRIED 10
 TAKE HIS OWN LIFE
FLED, BUT WAS CAPTURED LATER-GIRL
 DIES INSTANTLY.

Fayetteville, Ark, Feb. 4.-About 8 o'clock Sunday night Homer Davis shot and killed Miss Nellie Moneyhun, daughter of George Moneyhun, at the latter's home, eight miles from this city. Davis then tried to kill himself by firing the gun at his head, but the bullet glanced upward, leaving only slight scalp wound. At the report of the pistol, Mr. Moneyhun rushed in from an adjoining room and found his daughter and Davis prostrated on the floor. While the father admins tered to his daughter Davis got up and walked off. He was tracked to White river, where he took skiff and was rowed down stream to prevent dogs from tracking him. Yesterday, however, he was caught on the other side of the river and was brought here this afternoon and lodged in jail. It is said that Davis had been trying to court Miss Moneyhun, but she re- fused to marry him and was soon to wed another. It is believed that in a fit of jealousy he committed the awful crime. " z@
 The ball entered her right eye and went into the brain, and she died in stantly. The brutal deed has stirred up much indignation in the immediate vicinity. Davis will say little about the affair at present, A preliminary hearing will be arranged for an early date.

SHEPHERD OF THE
 HILLS' co. PRAISED

"The Shepherd of the Hills," dra- matized from Harold Bell Wright's novel of that name, was the attrac- tion at the Kempner last night. It is a clean, idyllic story of the Ozark mountains in Missouri, enlivened by occasional bits of melodrama. It is given good scenic setting and the company is much better than the av- craze popular-priced attractions boast of. There is no tendency to exagger- ate the mountain types. They are just such as one may meet in the hills with none of the "begosh" about them. Outside of the melodramatic fight at the mill, in which the combatants tear the wall out, and the scene in the cab in when Wash Gibbs gang threaten a descent on the shepherd, the action

of the play is subdued and natural, do- ing no violence to the conventions.
 Annie Elsmore, who plays Sam my, the hill girl with aspirations, is clever young actress, very simple and natural and not at all of the pert sou brette order. Harry Schraeder as Grant Matthews, Jr., is ideally the fine strapping miller, and Harry Boyle in the comedy character role of Preachin' Bill is an important factor. Much interest devolves in Dad" the shepherd, character well played by J. $. Harrington, J. B. Sherman as Grant Matthews, Sr., and Martha Ur- bank as Aunt Molly, portrayed their roles intelligently, and Dolly Day, bare of foot and leg to the knee as Pete, the afflicted child, made pathetic appeal. The comedy at the mill with ,Preachin' Bill and the hare-lpped citi- zen in the limelight, produced consid- erable merriment.
 The play will be repeated at a popu- lar-priced matinee today and again to- night.-Arkansas Gazette.
 This company will be at the Grand in this city Monday, February 10.

l6TH AMENDMENT
 IS ADOPTED
MAJORITY OF 38 STATES
PROVIDING FOR A GRADUATE FEDERAL INCOME
 TAX IS ADOPTED.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 4.-Direct taxes upon the incomes of citizens of the United States, whether derived from idle capital or from the conduct of business, were made possible yes terday by the ratification of the six teenth amendment to the federal con- stitution. Delaware, Wyoming and New Mexico, indorsing the income tax amendment through their respec- tive legislatures, completed list of 3S states that has approved it, two more than the three-fourths neces- sary for it's final adoption.
 Leaders in congress predicted last night that through this authorization the law, which will be passed to levy the tax upon American incomes, will be introduced as soon as the extra session opens. It's exact terms have not been decided upon, but it is be- lieved it will exempt all incomes be- low $4,00O or $5,O00; and will pro- vide tax of one per cent upon the majority of personal incomes that do not run to an excessive figure
 Informal notice of the final adop- tion of the new amendment was given to the senate by Senator Brown of Nebraska, who introduced the resou- Ition in 1909 upon which the proposal for an income tax was submitted to the states. Drafting of the bill to put the tax into effect, it is expected, will fall to the lot of Representative Hull of Tennessee, member of the house ways and means committee, who drew the excise tax bill proposed last year by the Democratic house of repre- sentatives, but which did not become law.
 The income tax will be designed to Isupplant the present corporation tax and will apply to the incomes of in- dividuals, firms and corporations. In a statement last night Representative Hull declared he favored making the new tax an integral part of the finan- cial system of the United States to remain in full force without regard to the character of tariff bills that congress may enact from time to time.
 One feature, which it is believed will be included in the tax will be provision for collecting at the source" of the income. This feature, now in operation in England, would require firms to certify to amounts they pay to individuals in salaries or fees and pay the tax direct to the government. It is believed this would remove much complaint that might be made if the government had to inves- tigate every citizens income and would prevent evasion of the law.
 The annual amount that the gov |ernment may realize under the income tax is estimated by Democratic lead CTS in congress at approximately ,$100,000 This would include the $30, 0,000,000 collected under the pres ent corporation tax.
 "One of the important results of an income tax" said Representative Hull, twill be the curbing of unnecessary federal expenditures. When a great part of the governments income is derived by a direct tax upon the citi- zens of the nation they will scrutinize more carefully the appropriations made by congress-"
