Captain Alfred Brown. who recently

turned from Colon yesterday by the Ham

helm. He said that Notwithstanding the
courtesy of Colonel Goethals and tho fa-
oilities offered to him, his undertaking
was accomplished with great difficulty.
Brown swan from the harbor OF CristO-
bal tn the Pacific. a distance Of forty-one
miles. in two days. His actual time i'm

Averaging So minutes TO the mile. Brown
made twenty-four miles the first day

The intense heat and humidity he said

the branches of dead trees and foliage
which had broken from the bottom and
foated to the surface. Several times

MULHALL UNDER
LASH OF LAWYER
Counsel for McDermOtt De.
nounces Lobbyist and NC.
Michael as COnspirators.
From The Trlhnn. Bulean.

Washington. Dec. I'm a brief fled
with the House lobby investigating com
mittee to-day. James Easily Smith. attor-
ney for Representative James 7. McDer-
mott, one Of the House members accused
i'm the Mulhall charges, bitterly a,sails
Colonel Muhal. onc-time lobbyist Tor the
National Association of Manufacturers.
Mr.. Easily Smith is hardly less caustic
in his criticism Of /. n. McMichacl, for
merry House page and a McDcrmott pro-
tege. who in part backed UP the Mulhail
story.
There is no crcditable and satisfactory
testimony in this entire case corroborative
Of the charges and insinuatjons Of Null
hall and McMichacl," says Mr.. Easily
Smith. Liar" professional corruption
ist. and "betrIycr for hire" are among
the terms applied 10 Colonel MulhaIl.
"If 1.-THE of these charges be true, -
continues the brief. James r.. McDer-
mott richly deserves not only 10 be cX-
PEELED from his high Office but 10 be
driven out from the society Of honest
men.
Il submit, without hesitation, that these
charges in their entirety and i'm their de-
tails are not only false. but are the result
Of a deliberate conspiracy on the part Of
Mulhall and McMichael and others to
ruin Mr.. McDcrmott, first for money,
secondly for revenge. and thirdly for self
protection"

ONLY THOSE PAYING
REPORT ON INCOME
Officials Decide Those Exempt
from Tax Need Not
Make Returns.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Treasury ON
Gals have decided what they consider
one Of the most important questions
which has arisen in connection VITA
the collection OF the income tax
whether only persons who have in.
comes taxable under the law shall
make returns, or whether every indi-
vidual in the country or claiming
American citizenship must certify that
he is or is not taxable.
Officials believe that they have power
under the law TO require every person.
to make a return. After long consid-
Grafton, however it has been decided
that this power will not be exerted and
that returns will be required only from
persons taxable.
Under this decision the returns from
taxable individuals will total probably
only a few hundred thousand, whereas
a regulation requiring every person 10
make such returns would food the co..
lector's office with millions of printed
forms.

Washington. Dec. 4-The fight i'm the
Senate over the Democratic programme
Of forcing through the currency bill by
physically eXhausting the opposition leo
to a spirited clash between the leaders
OF the contending forces to-day.
The Republicans again denounced the
method of legislatins by caucus when

the Kern resolution providing for morn

cussion. ut is farCical, absurd, and not
a Just performance of legislative duties.
said Senator Root of the Democratic
programme.
THE measure has already been consid-
cred and passed elsewhere said Senator
Cummings, referring to the currency bill.
The real work of legislation for this
body is taking place in the Democratic
caucus and debate on this measure would
be a pure farce. There is not an open
mind among the members of the ma
iority. No one would dare to vote for am
amendment without referring 1t to Il
party caucus
In reply to Republican criticism, Scna-
tor Owen, who is in charge of the cur
rency bill. retorted that the Republicans
were filibustering against the bill indl-
rectly by debating the Hetch HetchE
bill and the Kern resolution at length

a quorum when there were tifty-slX MEM
