Vote to Strike Out Exemp-
tiOn of Mutual Life In
surance Companies
ACTION FOLLOWS
SPIRITED DEBATE
Exemption Clause fauses Heated Dis
cussion in Party caucus.
Tariff Bill Is New
Complete

Washington, June 30.-DemocratS oil the
Senate in caucus late tonight approved
the income tax section of the tariff bill
as revised by the majority members of the
finance committee, voting, however, to
strike out the amendment which would
exempt mutual life insurance companies
from the tax.
The action of the caucus came in the
midst of lively debate which earlier had
threatened to be prolonged, there being
wide difference in opinions expressed as
to the amount of the income exemption.
AS approved by the caucus. the Senate
finance committee amendment stands
exempting incomes of $1,000, for single per-
sons, with $l00 additional for a married
man, or woman with a taxable income,
and $500 for each dependent minor child
not to exceed two. After many sugges-
tions to extend the exemptions for de-
pendents upon a family, the democrats
finally concluded that they were getting
into deep water. and agreed to the COM
mittee change which reduced the normal
exemption as proposed in the House bill
from $4,000 to $4,000.
Companies Exempted
Inc action OF TIE caucus III SlflklnS
out the mutual insurance company amend
ment was agreed upon just before adj
journment and is to be reconsidered in
the House bill mutual life insurance COM
panies were not exempted from the terms
of the income tax and vigorous protests
were made by all the great mutual life
insurance companies to the finance COM
mittee. 1t was finally agreed by the COM
mittee that mutual companies not con-
Quoted for profits should have been ex-
empted from the tax.
Senator Pomerene tonight made the mo-
tion to strike out this amendment and
1t was carried by a vote of 13 to IL. Be-
cause the caucus was SO slimly attended
members of the committee thought the
matter should be presented to the full
democratic membership and Senator
Lewis of Illinois. who had voted for the
Pomerene motion moved to reconsider
the matter. 1t will be taken up again
tomorrow.
Settlement of the income tax section will
complete the entire tariff bill with the ex-
ception of few amendments, which the
committee has under consideration. The
prospect now is that the caucus will get
through tomorrow night and that the bill
will be reported to the Senate next week.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA. Char
lottesville, February 2S.-Everythng here
seems to be in readiness for Manager
Griffith and his band Of Nationals, who
are to arrive the first part of next week.
The frost has been out OF the ground for
over a week and the rain the last few
days will enable the squad Of wOrkmen
to complete the remaining work to be
done in perfecting the base lines. The
diamond is in much better shape than it
was last year. as work on it was started
some time ago, and the men kept at it
until today.
Lime was spread all over the infield,
making the grass much thicker and more
even. Last year the players complained
of the field being too fast, and it is
thought that the fault has been erased
by the new crop Of grass. All the hol-
lows have been filled in and the whole
field graded, SO it drains easily and will
be ready for play soon after rain. Mike
Martin arrived yesterday and began get
ting the house in shape. The students who
were living in it moved out and the neces-
sary furniture which has been rented for
the month was moved in. The house is a
much better one than was used last year,
having more modern improvements and
being a good deal nearer the gymnasium.
The college teams have already played
three nine-inning games, and althouh the
pitchers were allowed to work only a few
innings apiece, they were able to let out
