wagons. Hucksters have disappeared
from the streets because of vegetable

Upon New England States
Under the New Income
Tax Provision
SO SEN. DILLINGHAM;
OPPOSED MEASURE
His Amendment Would Use
Proceeds to Improve
Roads

Washington, D. c., Aug. Ex-senator
Dillingham; this week offered an amend
ment to the tariff bill to turn over the
avails of the income tax to the states,
each state to receive an apportionment
based on the proportion the popula-
ton of such state bears to the total
population of the United States, for
the purpose of constructing and improv-
ing the public roads of the states. BY
the terms of the amendment no state
will receive the benefits of the act I'M
less the state itself has appropriated an
amount as large as the apportionment
for such state for the current year.
Senator Dillingham;, while favoring the
theory of an income tax, was opposed
to the ratification of the proposed
amendment to the federal constitution
granting the right of the government
TO impose such tax because he be-
lieyed that the states needed this source
of taxation to meet their own constantly
increasing expenses. The argument was
used in favor of the ratification of the
amendment before the legislatures which
were considering the question that the
amendment only gave the government
the right to impose such a tax and
that the government would not exercise
its right to collect taxes under its new
authority except in a time of war or
when some extraordinary condition ex-
listed. The Democrats, however, lost TO
time in figuring upon the ayails of the
income tax as a regular means OF meet
ing the deficit in revenue occasioned Ivy
the lowering of tariff duties and it Is
now an important section of the tariff
bill calculated to raise millions of dol
lars to meet the regular expenses of the
government.
In his recent tariff speech Senator Dill
lingham called attention to the fact that
the income tax would fall very heavily
on the New England states where com
merce and industry prevail to such a
marked degree. He called attention to
the fact that when the inheritance tax
was imposed at the time of the Spanish
war, Massachusetts alone paid a tax in
the year 1900 four times as great as
that paid by the states of Alabama, Ar
kansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas and Virginia combined.
He also directed attention to the opera
ton of the present excise tax on cor
porations showing that in the year 1912
Massachusetts and Connecticut alone
paid nearly as great an amount in taxes
as all these southern states combined.
He contended that, while the income tax

try, some idea might be gained Of its
probable operation by the illustrations
of the working of the inheritance tax
and the tax on corporations above re-
ferred to.
In other words, Senator Dillingham;
believes that those states contributing |
such large amount to the total income
tax collected should have some return |

Of Mayor Gaynor's Private
Office in New York City
Yesterday
CONSERVATION WAS
CAUSED BY DISCOVERY
Detectives Are Searching
Out Perpetrator of .
the Act

| New York, Aug. Getty hall officials
We're startled shortly before noon yes
terday when Joseph Ryan, son of the
city hall janitor, ran into the building
announcing that he had discovered sew
eral sticks of dynamite lying on the
ground under the window of the en-
trance to Mayor Gaynor's private office.
Mayor Gaynor was in his office when
the sticks were discovered, but he did
not learn about it until some time later.
Investigation showed that four sticks
of what resembled the explosive had
been left directly under the window
where the mayors police guard always
sits. The spot is about thirty feet
from where the mayor sits at his desk.
Fire commissioner Johnson was i'm
mediately notified and ordered a bag
placed over the sticks, one of which
had been broken in two. Policeman
Joseph Grady was detailed to stand
guard over the stuff until it could be re-
moved The crowds passing in the park
were unaware of the discovery.
The Degnon Construction company is
building the section of the new Broad
way subway that passes the hall, but
one of the superintendent said that the
contractors did not use dynamite in
their construction work
Neither Lieutenant Eastehbrook nor
Acting Secretary to the Mayor James
Mathews knew anything about the
sticks being found until informed by re-
porters. Both refused to get excited
over the matter. Secretary Mathews
declared that it was ''hot weather
story" and the lieutenant that it was
the first he had heard of it.
Inspector Owen Eagan of the bureau
of comhustibles of the fire department
arrived at the city hall about an hour
later and removed the burlap bag that
covered the sticks. tucked the bundle
under his arm and was told by Com
missioner johnson to take it to the
make chemical analysis and
report his findings to the commission
er's secretary.
When the inspector picked up the
sticks something that looked like rusty
copper wire or very dirty string was
hanging from them.

AFTER FIFTY YEARS.
Chorin Seeks Reimbursement for Money
Lost to Robbers.

Washington, Aug. 22.-Nearly half
century ago George Chorin, then a
dashing young soldier in the first Mass
achusetts volunteer infantry, lost 5000;
yesterday he wanted the government to
reimburse him and has appealed to CON
gress for it through Representative
Mitchell. The latter is not quite clear
as to what can be done for the veteran
and as for interest on the amount he
has so far baked at any attempt TO
figure it.
Chorin explains that back in the six
ties, just before his regiment was mus
tered out, he was set upon and robbed
by four men of his own company
while in camp at Bunker Hill, Maryland.
He was on guard at the time. While
the identity of the men was known,
Chorin alleges, there was no court
martial because of the disband-
ment of the regiment which then was
under way.

On Progress of Negotiations
Being Conducted in
Mexico
HE WILL READ 1T IN
CONGRESS MONDAY
This Has Never Happened
Since Washington's
Day

Washington, D. c., Aug. 22.-Pres-
ident Wilson was at work last night on
special message he will probably read
to both Houses of Congress Monday re-
lating i'll detail the negotiations which
have been conducted through his per
sonal representative, John Lind, with
the Huerta government in Mexico.
This will be the first time since Wash
ington's day that a president has com
munieated matter of foreign policy in
person to the legislative branch of the
government
The Senate of the United States is
heartily in accord with the efforts of
President Wilson to deal openly and
peaceably with the Mexican situation.
The entire Senate is in accord with
those efforts--the Republicans as well
as the Democrats. Moreover. the anti
war sentiment in the Senate has de-
veloped such strength that it is plain
now that the Senate viii not tolerate
the printing in the congressional record
of any articles from newspapers. the re-
suit of which would be to infame or
misinform public opinion on the situa-
ton. This was the attitude of the Senate
as it became manifest after an hours
remarkable debate yesterday in the
course of which ii was proposed that
President Wilson take the Senate into
his confidence in executive session.
During the debate, which eentered
around resolution introduced by Sen
ator Penrose asking for S25,000000 to
be placed at the disposal OF the presi-
dent to protect American life and prop
erty in Mexico. senator after senator
rose on each side of the chamber and
urged peace and the suppression of war
talk. Discussion opened over the ques- |
ton of the reference of the resolution. |

committee, maintaining that il |

tention he was supported by Senator
Lodge, who stated that il is the feeling |
of the majority and minority members l
of that committee alike that all mat |

Senator Penrose agreed, but sent to the |
desk an article from the I'll Paso Times,

CREAMERY EXPERT
SENT TO VERMONT
Henry w. Larson Will Cooperate With
State Department of Agri-
culture.

| The dairy division of the bureau of
animal industry of the United States
! department of agriculture has delegated
Henry w. Larson, creamery expert, to
do work in Vermont in cooperation with
the state department of agriculture. Mr..
Larson is a graduate of the dairy school
of the Iowa college of agriculture and
has for some time been connected with
the dairy division, in charge of demon
stration creameries. His headquarters
while in Vermont will be at st. Al
bans.
Mr.. Larson will first of all study the
creamery situation in Vermont and will
be willing to give assistance in matters
pertaining to creamery operation and
butter making to creameries desiring
such assistance. Ultimately he plans to
conduct demonstrations in few cream
cries in the state with view to improv-
ing the quality of the product and to
stopping leaks and losses SO that the
largest possible over-run may be Sc
cured. S. c. Thompson, in charge of
dairy manufacturing Investigations of
the dairy division, who came to Yer
mont to start Mr.. Larson in his work,
says that in his opinion, which is based
on reports received from Vermont cream
cries, an over-run of five per cent larger
than is now being secured may be easily
obtained. This would mean that cream
cries would be able to pay one and one
eighth cents more for butter fat if this
additional over-run could be secured.
Mr.. Larson will supplement the work
now being done by w. f. Ayres, the
state creamery inspector, giving more
time to some of the specific creamery
problems than Mr.. Ayres is able to do.
In Mr.. Ayres and Mr.. Larson, Vermont
has two valuable men who should, with
the cooperation of our creamery men
and dairymen, be able to accomplish
much in the way of improving the quail
ity of our dairy products.

Throughout the discussion of the agri-
cultural schedule this last week the two
Vermont senators have taken active
parts in the debates. Senator Page led
fight to retain a duty upon butter,
contending that it was necessary to pro-
tect Vermont dairymen from Canadian
competition in the New England mar
kets, but it was to no avail as his
amendment placing the duty at two and
one-half cents per pound was lost by a
vote of 80 to 90 Senator Thornton of
Louisiana, Democrat, voting with the
Republicans. On Tuesday when the ma
pie sugar paragraph of the sugar sehed-
ue was under discussion, both Senators
Thornton and Ransdell of Louisiana vot-
ed in favor of the Gallinger amendment
to retain the old rates of duty, which
was lost by the close vote of 81 to IS.
