RUMOR THAT BAILEY
WILL DEFEND GLOVER
Former Senator Likely to Be
Counsel in House Con-
tempt Proceedings.

Persistent rumor at the Capitol today
stated that former Senator Joseph Bailey
of Texas would defend Charles c. Glover
before the bar Of the House and possibly
in the Supreme Court of the United
States in case the House shall adopt the
resolution to pass sentence of some kind
upon the banker who slapped Representa-
tive Sims OF Tennessee in the face for
things Mr.. Sims said on the floor Of the
House
Mr. Bailey is in New York today and
inquiry at his Office brought neither con-
Mr.. Glover is also out OF the city. Mr..
Father. cashier OF the Riggs National
Bank, told a Star reporter:
Il have not seen Mr.. Glover in ten days
don't know thing about the Bailey
rumor. but I do not credit it,
Hearing to Follow Tariff Debate.
The Glover-Sims matter is scheduled TO
be brought up by Representative John
w. Davis of West Virginia or a member
of his select committee Immediately after
the tariff bill passes the House. AS 1t is
a matter of the highest privilege, nothing
can stop 1t. The report has been filed
with the House. and a general discussion
on Its merits and facts could have pre-
coded the debates on the tariff bill, but
Mr.. Davis and other members OF the
committee believed it would be more
dignified not to appear to rush the mat
ter too precipitously.
A resolution calling upon the Speaker
to pass sentence is already In the hands
Of a member Of the select committee. and
it will be presented after the report is
discussed.
Arrest Warrant to Issue.
If the House votes to adopt it. Sergeant
alarms Gordon will Immediately arm
himself with a warrant signed by Speaker
Clark to arrest Mr.. Glover. This arrest
will probably be held as sufdcient grounds
for a writ OF habeas corpus, and members
Of the House are convinced the matter
will be taken to the Supreme Court and
fought out there.

An Ancient Maine Bridge.
rom the Calais Advertiser.

From the Calais Advertiser.
Eastern Maine historians have delved
in vain for the history Of an old stone
bridge. the remains Of which may be
seen. leading from the main island Of
Deer Isle to Stinsons Neck, now the
settlement known as Sunshine. Stinsons
Neck is separted from the main island
by half tide bar. across which there is a
good roadway. Here the rains of an old
stone bridge may still be seen, So far as
is known, 1t antedates the settlement of
white men on the island, and is believed
to have been constructed by Indians
Many interesting Indian relics have been
found in the vicinity, and on one of the
smaller islands near by. at the eastern
entrance to Eggemoggin Reach. the late
Frank Hamilton Gushing. the well known
archeologist, q few years ago discovered
the remains Of what he declared to be q
permanent Indian village-not a temper
airy fishing camp, as most OF the coast
settlements of the Indians were.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON, April 20, 1913
The militant suffragettes may burn va
cant buildings and destroy golf greens,
and the interest of the general public
is indirect and often passive. method
Of more real annoyance was wanted,
something that would reach certain in
dividuals with particular severity, and a
series of hoaxes was devised. These
vary with the circumstances Of the case,
but a practical joke played on Prosecutor
Bodkin is typical.
Mr.. Bodkin has conducted the case
for the government at many Of the suf-
fragette trials. He it was who proceeded
against Mrs. Pankhurst. In the midst
of this trial he was called from his bed
at 3 o'clock one morning by g. telegram
which stated that his Offices in the Tenn
pie were burning.
Hears hooking Voice.
Without waiting to complete his dress
ing, Mr.. Bodkin flung on an overcoa& and
was driven at high speed through the
deserted streets from his home in the
edge OF London to the Temple. Arrived
there, he found all peaceful and dark.
The prosecutor had little doubt as to
what agency to attribute the hoax, but
he was doubly convinced when. as he
climbed into his car for the drive home.
he heard a knocking feminine voice from
the direction of the Embankment cry,
Votes for women"
The next day Bodkin made his address
to the jury in the Pankhurst case and
some Of the severity Of his denunciation
of the suffragette tactics has been attrib-
uted to his early morning visit to his
Offices.

PROTEST PAYING TAX
on INSURANCE FUNDS
Senators Told That Mutual Life In
surance Companies Should
Be Exempted.

Senators are today receiving many pro-
tests against the provision In the Under
wood tariff bill which would tax the in
comes Of the mutual life insurance COM
panies Of the country. 1t was predicted
today that a warm fight would be made
against this feature of the bill when it
goes to the Senate. provided 1t Is not
eliminated In the House.
The mutual life insurance companies
and their thousands Of policy holders are
directing the attention Of the senators
to the fact that the companies already
pay the corporation tax. and large taxes
for the privilege of doing business.
They point out, too, that a mutual
life insurance company possesses no
capital stock. The company is not en-
gagged in business for gain. There are
of the company, 1t is declared; the
policyholders are themselves the own
ers OF the company. and any tax levied
upon the company IL levied upon the
policyholders- While the tax Is, in fact
collected from the company. the pro-
testants say, 1t is paid by the policy
holders. Whatever amount the COM
pany pays as tax dimintshes by so
much the surplus Of the company. and
increases the cost Of life insurance to
the policyholders.
Fraternal Societies Exempted.
The bill as II now stands exempts from
taxation 50 far as the income tax is con-
cerned fraternal and beneficial societies
providing for the payment of life ben
efts-. The mutual life insurance COM
panies claim that there is no reasonable
ground whatever for making a distinc-
ton between such societies and mutual
life insurance companies in the IMPOSE
ton OF a tax.
In Great Britain, where both life in
surance and the income tax first originat-
ed, an express provision Of the law has
always exempted from the income tax
moneys paid by policyholders In premiums
for the insurance Of their lives

proved of the didactic materials used in
the method, however, and said that many
of the good results claimed for the Mon

natural character of Roman children.
An Inspiring talk on Montessori methods

nized by Mime. Montessori as the fore
most exponent of her principles in Amer
lea. She said she was gripped by the
possibilities of the methods. The Mon

MILLIONAIRE FIGHTS
ACCUSATIONS OF GIRL
Arraigned on Two Indictments
Charging Contributing to
Delinquency.

LOS ANGELES, May 3.-Demurrers
and other means of legal defense were
prepared in behalf of George H. Bixby,
the Long Beach millionaire. when he was
arraigned today in the superior court on
two indictments charging him with aid
ing. the delinquency of two minor girls.
The indictments were returned last night
by the county grand jury. after a week Of
inquiry into allegations that wealthy men
had an organized system of ensnaring
young women for immoral purposes.
Two other indictments were returned at
the same time against Mrs. Josie Rosen-
berg. who already was in Jail in default
of $4,000 bail Mrs. Rosenberg, as keeper
of THE Jonquil," the resort at which it
is alleged Bixby was known as the BLACK
PEARL is charged with having been chief
procurer for the wealthy patrons of her
place.
Warned Away From City.
Shortly before Bixby was arraigned
Kitty Phillips. the youthful motion pic
ture actress, whose charges initiated
the sensational white slavery investiga-
ton, was taken to the central police
station by Detective Erwin, who had
testify before the grand jury, which
will resume its inquiry Monday. Miss
Phillips was questioned by Chief of
Police Sebastian.
He wanted to know why she had plead
ed guilty to a vagrancy charge and then
vanished after the Matchmaking charge
preferred by Bixby had been dropped, and
she had nothing further to fear. She re-
piled that her attorney had advised her
to do SO, saying il she did she would be
given a suspended sentence conditioned
upon her leaving the city. while if she
remained certain wealthy men interested
in the suppression of all white slavery
facts would see that she was severely
punished.
