HIMSELF
ON H STAND
DECLARES HE NEVER HEARD or
WOMAN WHO ACCUSED HIM
OF MISCONDUCT.

SIOUX Falls. S. D.-That the argu-
ments in the 100000 libel suit now
being tried in the circuit court aga
inst the publishers of the Press will
be completed today and that the case
will be submitted to the jury by ev-
ening is the present forecast of those
involved in the case. The case is now
on its eighth day and hence has TAX
en- a longer time~for trial than any
case adjudicated in recent years in
this county.
On the witness stand Saturday af-
ternoon and again yesterday. George
w. Egan declared that he had never
even heard of Mrs. NJ. e.. Wilson,
who testifies that he committed an
assault on her at Logan, until he saw
her name mentioned a few weeks ago
in the notice to take her dispositions.
He declared also that he had tried to
locate her and had failed. He swore
also that Mrs. Harris had never been
in his office hut once and that she
was at that time. accompanied by her
husband.
On crosseXamination Mr.. Esan
showed a decided propensity to forget
and had a poor memory. This was eS-
pecially true when he was questioned
regarding his claimed travelling on to
Omaha to locate Mrs. Wilson. How
ever when n. j. Marvin, who lived in
Omaha fourteen years. was put on the
stand for the purpose to show that.
according to Egan's testimony he had
spent M hour and "a half in going a
mile and a half, Mr.. Egan showed a
good knowledge OF the streets of
Omaha and their relation one to
another.
Andrew kuehn was put on the
stand to testify to matters in conncc-
ton with the O'Grady case especially
in connection with the indemnity
bond which it is claimed that Esan
put up to protect bondsmen in that
case.
After Mr.. Cherry of counsel for the
defense had made an unsuccessful eff
fort to get in parts OF Mrs. Wilson $
deposition, which had previously
been ruled out. and the court had re-
iected the deposition of r. A. Turner,
offered by the defense, Mr.. Cherry
announced that the defense rested

h general public is expected to
given close study to these new laws
in the next few months, as the first
burden of the tax payment rests with
the individual citizen, and his fail

able by a fine. 1t is admitted that
when the first returns are made many
taxable persons probably will escape
payment, but with each year the gov

estimates by treasury experts, 425,-
900 American citizens must keep such
accurate account of their incomes
this year that they will be able to
account to the income tax collector
next year exactly how much they owe
the government under the new in-
come tax law. So far as the taxable
American is concerned the income tax
practically now is in force against
him. The tariff bill in which the law
is embodied will not be signed until
some time this week. and the first re-
turns do not have to be made to the
March /, 1914. But when the returns
are made they will cover the incomes
of citizens from March /, 1913, to
December 81. and the first payment
of tax will be for money received dur
ing this period.
Every single person (citizen or
foreign resident) whose annual in
come exceeds $4,000, and every mar
ried person with au income of above
$4,000, is expected to report his or
here receipts in detail to the govern
ment agent March / for each year.
Estimate of Receipts.
The estimate indicates that the
income "a will produce $S2.2S9,0O0
from the 425,000 persons taxed. To
this will be added the $4,000, 900
or more produced by the present cor
~poration tax. which is continued as
part of the law.

TOXIC, April 12.--(Special to The
Advertiscr) Officials Of the govern
ment, all political parties and business
men are growing hourly more excited
over the prospect of California, by an
Alien Land Bill, shutting the doors to
japanese who desire to live in that
State. ~
The feeling throughout the country is
intense, urged by the expression of
popular indignation, the minister of
foreign affairs today sent new instruc-
tons to Ambassador Chinda, at Wash
ington, to make new protest against
California's action.
Chinda is instructed to point out to
president Wilson and his cabinet that
California s proposed action is in con
illct with the treaties existing between
Japan and the United States
In ease President Wilson fails to in.
duce California to resist from passing
its proposed alien land law it is freely
admitted here that reprisals will be
made, but what form these reprisals will
take has not yet been decided upon.
