w yE will call the man Milton
~ Jones. You know him
" " we'll by a far different
name, which has often ap-
peared on the billboards. College men
have listened to his scientific lectures.
He has been the friend of noted psy-
biologists and mind experts. He has
written books and conducted courses
in hypnotism and helped medical men
in peculiar, obstinate cases. He has
often gone after bad" boys for church
purposes. His big, masterful eyes
have stared out in black. silhouetted
pictures in many a magazine adver-
tisement, but there his name did not
appear.
l am telling you all this about him,
because l want you to realize the i'm
portant position he occupies in scien-
tific circles. Then when | show YOU

is a crew who are mulching hundreds
of romantic, ambitious people of their
earnings, making them believe they
are getting a course in hypnotism.
Mr.. Jones once asked me to be his
subject" A subject is a person per
fectly willing to be made ridiculous
before an audience, for their amuse-
ment and the hypnotist's fame and
profit. For the sake of experiment
consented to his proposal.

tized,' l argued.

he asked, getting impatient.

Washington, Feb. An income
tax is one of the provisions of the
Constitution Of the United States.
Wyomina's ratification today of the
income tax amendment-the sixteenth
change in the constitution and the
| first since the reconstruction--cOm-
rieted a list of thirty.siX states-three
fourths of the Union, which have ap'
proved the provision.
! Congress now will enact law to
/ levy the tax and it probably will be
come effective during the eXtra-ordi-
Irary session to be called by President
elect Wilson in March. The tax it
self, it's provisions and its limitations
are left to congress.
The new law probably would super
| sede the corporation tax and PROVIDE
, for a tax on all incomes above $4,000,
although there has been some senti-
ment in favor of making the limit as
low as $4,000. Congressional leaders
who have been preparing for the final
ratification by states each year estl-
mate an income tax would bring IN
about Sl0O,000,000 year TO the gov
ornment.
Now that the tax is provided by
the constitution, the proposed excise
tax, framed by the Democratic lead
ers in 1912 to meet the supreme court
decision which held former income
tax unconstitutional, will be dropped
and some of its provisions may be in
cluded in the new law

UNCLE SAM TO PROSECUTE
SHOE COuPANY,S OFFICERS

Washington, d. c., Feb. 3-The
government will prosecute officials of
the United Shoe Machinery com
pany under the one remaining indict-
ment, it was announced at the de-
partment of justice today. That in
dictment charges monopoly and un-
fair competitive methods and is de-
clared by officials to be the most i'm
portant and strongest of the indict-
ments returned against the company.
The action of the supreme court to-
day grew ont of the Massachusetts
federal courts annuling Obne of two
indictments brought against the shoe
manufacturing company.
The Massachusetts courts took the
position that the indictment did not
state an offense under the Sherman
law. The government appealed to
the supreme court by virtue of the
criminal appeals act of 1907, on the
ground that it did state an offense.
The government in the indictment
alleged that Sidney Winslow, Edward
p. Hurd, George w. Brown, VIM. M.
Barbour and Elmer P. How violated
the law, first by organizing the Unit
ed Shoe Machinery corporation and
second by system of leasing their
machines, whereby patrons were
compelled to promise not to use any
machinery made by an independent
and to use only that made by the al
legged combine.
The charge was that the shoe
machinery corporation took over the
business of the Consolidated and
Mckay Lasting Machine company,
manufacturing 60 per cent of all last

Joint resolution number 3. This is
the resolution which passed the SEN
ate Saturday and which places New
Mexico in the forefront OF states or
progressive ideas by ratifying the
amendment to the federal constltu-
ton for an income tax. New Mexico
was close competitor with other
states in the union for the privilege
of being the one state to make the
necessary majority to complete the
adoption of the amendment.
The resolution was reported to the
house soon after the house convened
at 2 O'Clock this afternoon. AS soon
as the resolution had reached the
clerks desk, Mr.. Clancy moved that
the rules be suspended and that the
resolution be taken up for considera-
ton. The motion prevailed and the
resolution was read. 1t was adopted
in the house without debate and with
out dissension, the vote being 36 in
favor of it's adoption.
Considerable debate was aroused
when Mr. Tully offered a resolution
throwing open to the accredited mem
bers of the press all committee meet
