 Tariff Legislation As Men.

Washington, April 26-suffraeis4s for the second time in a week. storm. ca the national capitol to arR7Je why women should have the election fran chlse on the same plane as men through the adoption of a. consfi4I7- tional amendment Chief aunone 4tose present to plead for universal suffraee was Mrs Anna Howard Shaw. presi- dent of the National American Vyo- mans Suffrage Association. She was seconded by Mrs: Helen Varrick Bos- well, president of the Woman's Ma tional Republican Association. Mrs. Harvey W.

 Two Senators, Shaffroth of Colo rado, and Brady of Idaho. and the Wisconsin and Mrs. Sutherland of Utah, also were ready to advance ar- guments for the "cause.@
 Representative Bryan, of Washing ton State, also was among the piead- CTS.
 Mrs LaFollette argued that women were as vitaIly interested in tariff leg islation as the men, and declared that every important piece of legislation be- fore Congress in the last 9 years had affected women equally.
 If the tariff in any way affects the price we pay for what we cat and wear; if the trusts and combinations have anything to do with the high cost of living. women should under stand about it," said Mrs. LaFolIette. If the prices of great staples like beef. sugar. oil, affects the cost of the children's food and clothes, the only radical way to right the wrong is through national Legislation

 MINE HORROR
Death Message in
 Chalk on Legs of His OVeralIs

 ling Over Dead Bodies

Pittsburgh. April 26-Charles Crawl who with Philip Leg1er, was taken alive, last midnight from the Cincin- natl mine of the Mononghela River Consolidated Coal & Coke Company al F'inleyvilIe, where a disastrous exp1o- sion occurred on Wednesday, was also a survivor of the Mariana mine dis aster of Nov. 2S, 1908, when 154 lives were lost. In the explosion, Craw lost his right eye The rescue o1 Crawl and Legler, both of whom are 36 years old, was effected by J. Mo Vickers and Clyde Gibson, members of the local company's rescue crew who entered the mine, late last night. . after the expert helmet men and min ing inspectors had given up work for the night
 When Mcvickers and Gibson reach ed a point two and a half miles from the emtrance they heard a faint cry towards which they groped and dis covered the two miners barely consci- -ous. They had to be practically drag ged through the long tunnels to the opening.
 Crawl is a widower and has two children His first words when res c1ed were a plea to see his children. He said it seemed he had been in the mine for a week
 At the hospital. this morning, Crawl had recovered sufficiently to tell his story
 ''I entered the mine at 6:2o. We'd -nesday morning." he said. "Legler and I were eating lunch in the room when we heard a dull, explosion which seemed to be far away. We contin- ued- eating and finished our lunch. I began to get nervous when I did not hear the other miners at work and I went to investigate. found dead miners lying all around and then I knew what the explosion had been.
 Remembering my former experi- ence. I told Legler to follow me and we crawled into the old workings in an effort to find a way to get out. We had only a slice of bread apiece and we quenched our thirst with su1- phur water from the mine floor. I gave up hope of ever getting out alive several times but as long as my strength lasted I pushed on. Legler wanted to lie down and die but I urg- ed him on. In room 23, entry 10, found an old man and his son. They were alive but could not move. We tried to carry them but in our ex- hausted condition their weight was too great When we left the old man and his son my mind seemed to wan der but I held Legler's hand and in some way we got back to where we started from
 When Crawl was taken from the mine. a message was found scribbled in chalk on the legs of his overalls. It read: Goodbye my children. God bless you"
 "Only for Crawl" Legler said. ''I but he urged me on. I never expected to see daylight again but God was with us and helped us through"
 On their trip, the two rescuers found the bodies of eight miners which brings the total known dead up to ss.

 Del Val

 dress on Temporal Power

Rome, April 26.-The departure of Angelo Sarto, brother of the Pope, from the vatican, this morning, is re- garded as confirmation of the con tinued improvement in the condition of the pointiff. The Pope was later permitted by his physicians to stand behind the window of his bedroom and watch the American pilgrims crossing the square of St. Peter's 70 enter the bronze door of the vatican for their reception by Cardinal Merry Del Val, papaI secretary of state.
 The American pilgrims were under the leadership of the Right Rev. Joseph Schrembs. Bishop of Toledo. and were presented at noon iu the ducaI hall by Mgr. Thomas F. Ken nedy, rector of the American college in Rome. Cardinal Merry Del Val re- cetved the Americans in the name of the Pope.
 The audience was conducted in the English language. Tn his address Bishop Schrembs dealt with the situa- ton created for the hold of the church in Rome by the fall of the temporal power.
 Cardinal Merry Del Val, in his re- ply, emphasized the statement of Bishop Schrembs saying that the papacy could not be nationalized and therefore the Holy See for the exer- else of its own spiritual ministry must enjoy real and\ compIeCe HDerty ana independence while it was now at the mercy of the changeable decision Of the government of one country. Car d1lfal Merry Del Val said he had been entrusted by the pontiff to thank the American pilgrims for their visit to Rome After their long journey and the inconTeniences they had endured. he said, be quite understood thaS the fact of not seeing Pope Plus would b. a tfiSapDo intment to them
 The Cardinal then iTnparted to all the pilgrims f9etr--fa n1Hiss the apostolic benedtction. He also blessed the religious objects carried by the pilgrims. When the Cardinal enter ed the Popes room, this morning, he found him working at his desk on matters requiring n.s attention

 The girl very recently attended the fashionable. Ing1eside School, in New Milford, on the Berkshire division, and was a frequent visitor in this ctiy. Detectives in the pay of the anxious father were busy here today looking but their activities did not develop anything definite.

 The report which brought MT. >Bor- den to Boston was that his daughter was stopping at the Vendome, but no sooner had he arrived than it was said on his behalf that it had been deter mined that Miss Borden was not at that hotel though he had reason to be- lieve that she was in Boston.
 It was stated that the supposed of the girl had been made known through private sources and not by the detectives who were en- gagged by MT. Borden a day or two after she disappeared from a sanitar- Ium at Pompton. N. J., last Wednes- day

O. c. Kyle, another of the party who came from New York with Mir Borden, remained at the Hotel Essex. this forenoon, and was in frequeni standardization, supposedly with cgnel m e1n bers of the party. MT. Kyle said he was a representative of MT. Bor- den- He added:
 we received tip that Miss Bor- den was in Boston while we were in New York at a quarter of twelve, last night. This tip was not from a pri- vate detective agency in Boston as had been stated but from private sources in New York.
 We took the frse train for this city. We learned later that Miss Bor- den was not at the Vendome as first reports had it, bue we have reason to believe that she is in Boston or in this vicinity.
 MT. Borden has now gone out to keep an appointment, the nature oH which I cannot disclose He was ac- companied by both Boston and New York detectives. I expect that he will return to the hotel between and 3 o'clock, this afternoon. More than this, I cannot say at this time. MT. Borden is hopeful, and I believe he has good reason to be, that he will soon be in the company of his daugh- ter. There is no secret of his pres ence nere or the I11sS1on that prouSn- him. He registered as G. Borden, Los Angeles, because we presume he for merIy lived in the California city.
 MT. Borden had intended to go to Baltimore, today, to see his mother, who is seriously i'll from worrying over the disappearance of her granddaugh- ter. His plans were changed sudden ly upon the receipt of the information that Pomona was in Boston,
 It was stated positively, today by the clerk at the Hotel Vendome that neither Miss Borden nor her father or in fact any of the supposed acquai11- ances were stopping there. Inquiry at other hotels in the Back Bay indicate that Miss Borden was not a guest in that section unless she was stopping at a boarding house or with friends.

Hull Analyses His Income Tax
 Bill In House Tariff Debate
Author of Measure Says IL Aims to Help Do Away With Spo|iation Now Accomplished
 Through Protective Tariff

It's, Mir. Hull replied that the tariff was tax upon consumption, want and even poverty and misery while the proposed income tax was measured by net profits or gains and not impos- ed upon gross income nor capital nor other property. It was, he said, the outgrowth of centuries of tax legisla- tion throughout the world.
 Victims of our intangible and in- visible tariff taxes with all their fea- lures Of spo1iation and plumber, will welcome the proposed tax; the receiv- CTS Of large incomes and owners of great wealth should prepare to ac- cept it as a permanent tax for it has come to stay. Its effect will be to displace a about $27o 00O, 600 derived from vicious customs house taxation to the end that this country may have in the future justice in taxation, flexibility and sta ability of revenue and economy in expenditures.'
 Mr Hull said he had received from policy holders of mutual insurance companies circular letters issued by the companies designed to frtghten them into the belief that the pro- posed one percent tax upon the net income of the companies would do the policy holders injury. and carrying yelled threats to increase the prerni- ums.
 ..These companies said Mir. Hull. well know that there is no purpose to tax the process of life insurance policies nor the return of any amount of the principal invested in insurance during life for business purposes but only the gains and profits that arise from the same. The tax would not in the least increase the amount of the premiums under any theory of fair dealing"

Special RepOrt On
 Care Of Children
 Ar LakevieW Home

The care of the unfortunate children
 sent to Lakeview Home is the subject
 of a report by Dr. Andrew 81cQueeney
 which will be presented to the Board
 of Charities at it's meeting Monday
 afternoon. He will deal with the sub
 5ect without gloves. This question is
 a troublesome one for the Board of
 Charities, and while practically all the
 members are agreed that the home per
 haps is not the best place for them,
 there is a division as to what is best to be done
 President William lBehrens yester- day said that he had not yet received a copy of the report of pr. AIcQueeney. and did not know just what the doc tor would recommend. He believed, however, that while. I4akeview Home is not the ideal place for the unfor- tunate children in the care of the Charities department, it is better to keep them there for the present than 70 farm them out at set sum per week to people who are looking only for the money they could make from the unfortunates and might not give them as good care as they now re- ceive. At Lakeview, at least, they are under the direct supervision of tho matron of the home, are well fed, and while sometimes the matron cannot give personal attention she can have a general oversight of their care.
 There is usually some one at the home who is able to look after the children except for short periods, and MT. Behrens believes it would be bet ter, and even cheaper. to employ a nurse if necessary, rather than placo the children out to board.
 The cIergymen of the city have made to the retaining of the children at the home, but the mem- bers of the board are seeking the best disposition of a troublesome sub ject and it was for this reason that Dr. McQuenney was asked to look in to the matter and make a special re- port to the board Monday afternoon. pr. McQueeney has not made the sub- stance of his report public, and there s some speculation as to what he will recommend
 The question of the erection of new for Lakeview home is yet and will have an important bearing upon this subject also. and lntiI 1t Is settled it is believed thae 70 change in the disposition of. thS should be made. After th9 children reach the age of four year6 hey can be sent to the county home It NorwaIk where excellent care can ,e given.

Washington, April 26-A comprehen- sive analysis of the income tax by Representative Hull, of Tennessee, it's author, featured today's general de- bate on the tariff in the House. Other speakers were on the program for dis cussion of the tariff itself
 To the suggestion that the income tax is class legislation and a distinc- tion between citizens of large means and those without particular means, MT. Hull answered that its purpose was to reach for taxation those who have escaped taxes and who are most able to bear them. He declared that the masses of the people were paying most of the $312, 100000 taxes and most of the state and local taxes, save in a few states.
 Where then," he asked, "is the in justice of requiring the receivers of incomes more than s4, 900 to equalize in some measure these tax burdens by contributing this more than $500, ,a0O. 900 to the federal treasury?''
 He denied that there was any sec tionalism in the effects of the tax.
 'It would be monstrous,' he cried, ito say that the receivers of great in comes, drawn from every section of the country, may segregate themselves and upon the plea of segregation or entire wealth from taxation. They should raise the plea of segregation and not sectionalism.
 The tax. he stated, is fair and pro ductive, responsive to changes in rates and cheap of collection. No hon est taxpayer had anything to fear, he said.
 Against the assertion that the tax was upon thrift. industry and prof
