PEARSON PACT MAY FAIL
Colombian Congress Likely to
Reject Oil Concession Grant.
From The Tribune Bureau


Washington. Sept Conformation has
been received I'm Washington when IN
dicates the possibility that the Colon
blan Congress will refuse TO raufy the
great oil concession granted Pearson q
Son. the British contracting frm, In
contract between Lord Murray Of Eli
hank. q partner in Pearsons. and Presl-
dort Rostrepo Of Colombia. The contract
ia subject to the ratification OF the con-
eress.
The proposed concession is one or the
greatest ever contemplated by the Colon
bian government, and ii has proved OF
particular interest TO the State Depart
rnent because OF provision which grants
the concessionaries the right to build
among other things. canals, wharVes'
docks and storage warehouses.
This aroused officials here TO the pos
sihility Of this provision beng utilized FOR
construction Of an intcroceanic canal
along the Atrato River route and OF har-
Dor works which might he used as a naval
bass. .Thc possibility OF naval base Is
con sidered much more seriously than that

MUST APPEAL TO COURTS
Kingsley Says One Income Tax
Provision Is Vague.

Darwin P Kingsley. president OF the
New York Life Insurance Company, said
YESTERDAY OF the inc me tax provisions OF
the tariff bill:
Under the income tax about 10 be en-
acted life insurance companies mean
responsible life insurance companies-are
to be taxed / per cent upon their net in
come. Fraternal. beneficial and religious
orders are properly enough exempt. for
the reason that they pay no dividend TO
any stakeholder We could not make the
members Of Congress see that every rea-
son why these orders should be exempt
was a reason why life insurance done by
responsible mutual institutions should
also be exempt Mutual fire insurance
companies are also exempt. on the theory
presume, that property Is more valuable
than human life.
Outside Of the usual exemptions which
apply to all corporations. the particular
thing that life insurance gained In the last
hours OF the consideration Of the bill is
expressed in this language: Life insur-
snce companies shall not include as in
come in any year such portion OF any
actual premium received from any indi-
vldual policyholder as shall have been
paid back or credited 10 any such indi-
vidual policyholder. or treated as an
abatement Of premium OF such individual
policyholder, within such year
There is, however, another question on
which no life insurance man dwelt during
the fight for further exemptions. because,
speaking for myself, il did not seem wise
10 confuse the greater issue by discussing
minor points. The language / refer TO &C.
ours in Paragraph b, Subdivision 2 and
IS as follows:
THAT in computing net income under
this section there shall be excluded the
interest upon the obligations OF a state or
any political subdivision thereof. and upon
the obligations of the United States and
its possessions
"'rhe bill is here dealing with the indi-
v;dual and how he shall make UP his re-
turn. The trainers Of the bill were OBJ
vIouslv trying 10 avoid the difficulty
which Justice Hughes 0hen Governor
Hughes pointed out in opposing the SIX
teenth an endment. 1t will be remembered
that he opposed the amendment because
its language would allow the federal gov
eminent 20 tax the instrumentalities Of
government OF each state and the sub
division OF the state.
Under this language the income OF a
bond Of state or any political subdivision
thereof Is not taxable in the hands OF an
Individual. but we find no such language

JERSEY DEMOCRATS IN
A BITTER WARFARE
Gloom and Discomfort Pre-
dominant Features of Con-
Yention Held at Trenton.

[From a staff Correspondent o. The Tribune
Trenton. y. J.. Sept 9o.-With gloon,
and discomfort as its predominant feat-
ares. the Democrats held ono OF their
oldtime conventions here to-day. AZ which
a Eight over the adoption Of constitu-
tional convention plank became so per
sonal and bitter that the party split prsc-
ucaIly in two on sectiona! lines.
The members from the populous coun-
ties referred TO South Jersey as the land
Of carrots and sand and the members from
the rural districts spoke feeingly OF
North Jersey as the place Of ash cans
and dump heaps.
Prominent Democrats were gloomy
and rssentful over Mr.. Fielder's mani
fe.to of last night reading ex-senator
Smith and Jim Nugent out Of tie
Democratic party. and they did not hcsl-
tate 10 declare IL a tactical blunder. as
serting that if the Democratic candidate
for Governor intended TO follow Presi-
dent Wilson's leadership in his fight On
Smith and Nugent he should at least
have waited until Election Day had
passed. They were good and sore and
did not hesitate to say so.
Nugent evened up things somewhat by
personally nominating Edward H. Gross
cup for state chairman and seeing him
elected after Mr.. Fielder had announced
that his personal choice was Representa-
tive Kinkead Efforts to get President
Wilson interested In this nght proved
unavaiing. and when the vote was taken
the Democratic candidate for Governor
was beaten by the decisive vote OF 10 70 o.
Nugcnt also swung back at Nr. Fielder
with q statement Of his own to-day, IN
which he says the Governors charges are
absolutely false and demanding proof OF
his assertions.
The platform adopted 10y the convention
was rather tame. no real progressive
measures being advocated. Loyalty was
pledged to President Wilson and arioe
was expressed in The new tariff bill.

Atlantic City Sept 30.-In his annual
address delivered at to-nights opening
session OF the annual convention OF the
National Association OF Cotton Manu-
facturers. Edwin Farnham Greene, Of

clsred that he was optimistic regarding
the future OF the cotton industry, despite
the criticism levelled at the revision OF
the tariff by cotton mill owners
1T is perhaps hardly fair TO say" he
declared. that all OF the business hesita-
ton in the last few months has been due
TO the prospect Of change in tho tariff,
for the tight money market. wars and
prospective wars abroad and At home
and the proposed monetary legislation in
this country have contributed much to
the curtailment in business.
I'VE are. however an optimistic people.
and we should enter on the new era as
cheerfully az can he. having full conf
dcnce that II I'm spite Of our best efforts
the new tariff proves an undue burden.

mistake and make reasonable changes

is nearly twice I'm this country what IL is

the high wages paid in this country, par
ticularly 10 skilled labor. but ! do not

condition Of affairs. ! do. however, ask
the public TO bear this fact i'm mind when
forcing us into keen competition with for
cign mills.
Much as We may feel discouraged at
the present moment. We have passed
through hard times before and possibly
the effect may not be as disastrous "a

forward with courage. believing I'm the
energy. ability and efficiency of the Ameri-
can manufacturer and labOrer and in the
fairness Of the American people in the

The presidents address caused mucn
animated discussion among the delegates.
Many OF them do not share his views,
but hold 20 the belief that tho cotton
schedules viii entail deal OF distress 10
the trade. The question will probably
have open discussion at TOMORROW ses-
sion. and II was said this evening that
some OF those present from the Northern
section might try 10 have resolutions
adopted expressing tho sentiment OF the
association In opposition TO the new
schedules
Others share the optimism OF Preside NJ

In any event. there is said to be good
