GABY DESLYS LEAVES;
TO ENTER CONVENT p!

NEW YORK, April 26.-Gaby
Deslys leaves us today. 1.-THE Honey
moon Express" has footed it's last
at the Winter Garden and the stellar
attraction of the piece finds no ex-
cuse for lingering longer on these
shores. Even the alleged authorship
of beauty articles has lost it's first
tang. So she takes to the blue, blue
sea today on a transatlantic liner
headed for Paris.
But hold, gentle reader, the worst
is yet to come. Rumor vows that
never are we to see fair Gaby any
more. Why? Because convent walls
are soon to close about her. Thus
there was weeping under the white
lights last night in the haunts of the
tango and turkey trot. Stranger
things have happened-but not by
much.
Whether Gaby of the Lilies will
meet Manuel, one-time king, on the
continent has not yet been revealed.

HULL DEFENDS HIS
INCOME TAX BILL
Method of Taxation OutgroWth
of Centuries of World Ex-
pertinent, Author Says.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 90
A comprehensive analysis of the in
come tax bill by Representative Hull
Its author. marked today's debate in
the House. other House speakers
were on the program for discussion
of the tariff itself
Mr. Hull replied today to numerous
comments upon provisions of the in
come tax. To the suggestion that 1t
is class Legislation and a distinction
between citizens of large means and
those without particular means he
answered that its purpose was to
reach for taxation those who have es-
capped taxes and who are most able
to bear them. He declared the masses
of the people were paying most of the
100000 tariff taxes and most of
the State and local taxes, save in a
few States.
Rebukes Sectionalism.
Where, then" he asked. sis the in
Justice of requiring the receivers of
ize in some measure these tax bur
dens by contributing less than $780,
100000 to the Federal Treasury? He
denied that there was any sectional
ism in the effects of the tax.
1T would be monstrous," he said,
Ito say that the receivers of great
incomes, drawn from every section
of the country, may segregrate them
selves and upon the plea of segrega-
ton or sectionalism, successfully ex-
empt their entire wealth from taxa
ton. They should invoke the plea
of segregation and not sectionalism."
The tax, he said. is fair, productive,
responsive to changes in rates and
cheap of collection. No honest tax
payer had anything to fear, he said.
Against the assertion that the tax
was upon thrift, industry and profits,
Mr.. Hull replied that the tariff was
tax on consumption, want and even
poverty and misery and added that
the proposed income tax was meas
ured by net profits or gains and not
imposed upon gross income nor capt.
tai nor other property. He charac-
terized the income tax as the out
growth of centuries of tax legislation
throughout the world.
Insurance Threat Exposed
Mr.. Hull said he had received from
policy holders of mutual insurance
companies circular letters issued by
the companies. designed to brighten
them into the belief that the pro-
posed / per cent. tax upon the net
income of the companies would do the
policy-holders injury and carrying
yelled threats TO increase the pre-
miums.
These companies said Mr.. Hull,
"well know that there is no purpose
to tax the proceeds of life insurance
policies"

d. Anderson, recommends a divorce
for Mrs. Margaret M. Mcmillan, of
New Brunswick, from John MoMul-
Ian, former plumber in Verona.
McMullan's present whereabouts is

INVENTORS RELATIVES
ARE SUING FOR $4,000


on September ;, 1909. and the four
children and the widow, joint legate
under the will of the deceased. In
this matter Mrs. Madelle Irene Jones
Wiedenmayer, the widow, is suing
Helene C. Kleinhans, a daughter, and
George c., Gustave A. and Joseph E.
Wiedenmayer. sons of the deceased,
for 100000 damages. claiming that
the children maiiciously conspired to
have Mr.. Wiedenmayer's will so
drawn as to deprive her of her proper
share of the estate. She also alleges
in a long bill of complaint filed by
Lum, Tamblyn & Colyer that she
was injured by the children depriv-
ing her of consorting with her hus-
Band prior to her death and depriving
her of her home with him.
The complaint is very long AMI
involved one. so much so that John
r. Hardin. counsel for the children,
today sought TO have 1t declared in
valid in that it was not specific
enough in setting out the cause for
which damages are claimed.
Court VIII Consider.
After a long argument Chief JUS
tice Gummere took the matter under
advisement for one week and viii an
announce a decision next Saturday.
Under the will of Mr.. Weidenmayer
the estate was divided into five equal
parts. one-fifth going to each of the
four children and the remaining fifth
to the widow.
Mrs. Weidenmayer's contention now
is that but for undue influence and
conspiracy by the children her share
of the estate would have been much
larger. The case is soon to come up
on hearing in the Supreme Court I'M
les sthe bill Of complaint should be
adjudged defective by the chief JUS
tice.

BURIED 60 HOURS,
FIND MINERS ALIVE
Rescuers Save Pair Two Miles
from Entrance to Finley
vile Mine.

PITTSBURGH, April 26.-Two men
were found alive early today in the
Cincinnati mine at Finleyville, the
scene Wednesday noon Of an explo-
sion in which from 100 TO 115 men
lost their lives.
Suffering untold agonies from the
shock of the explosion and exposure,
the men, Charles Crawl and Philip
Legler. each 36 years old. were
brought to the surface almost uneon-
scious.
That they survived the explosion
and poisonous gases of the mine for
sixty hours is considered miraculous.
After the expert helmetmen and
mine inspectors had left the mine late
last night J. McVickers and Clyde
Gibson, of the coal company's rescue
crew, entered to search for bodies.
They had reached a point two and
half miles from the entrance when
they heard a faint cry. Investigation
disclosed the two miners alive in
what is known as room 10 of entry 20.
They were barely conscious and had
to be dragged through the long tun-
nels to the opening.
Crawl is a widower and has two
children. His first words when res
cued were a plea to see his children.
When brought out a message was
found scrubbed in chalk on a leg of
his overalls. reading, "Good-by, my
childrenl God bless you"
At the hospital today Crawl had
recovered sufficiently to tell this
story:
"Legler and / were eating lunch In
the room where we were found
shortly after 1890 O'Clock Wednes-
day afternoon when we heardaa dull
explosion, which seemed far away.
We finished our lunch. Then I began
to get nervous, as ] did not hear the
other miners at work, and went to
investigate. / found dead miners
lying all around, and then l knew
what the explosion we had heard was.
Remembering a former experience,
I told Legler to follow me, and we
crawled into the old workings in an
effort to find way out. We had only
a slice of bread apiece, and quenched
our thirst with sulphur water from
the mine floor We crawled and
crawled, but could not find any way
out. l gave up hope several times,
but as long as my strength lasted we
kept crawling. Legler wanted. to lie
down and die, but 1 urged him on.
I'm room %, entry 10, we found an
old man and his son. They were
alive, but could not move. We tried
to carry them, but their weight was
too great, for we were exhausted.
When we left them my mind seemed
to wander, but / held to Legler's
hand. and in some way we got back
TO where we had started from after
the explosion"
Crawl's reference to his former ex-
perience was to the Mariana mine
disaster on November %, 1908, when |
154 lives were lost. In that explosion
Crawl lost his right eye.
On their trip the rescuers of the |
two men found eight more bodies, |
which brings the total known dead in
the Finleyville disaster up to ninety
six,
