Being GIVEN CAREFUL SCRUTINY
Toxic Dispatches Indicate Negotia-
tions Are Drifting Into Disputations
Where Lawyers Will Have Ample
Opportunity to Display knowledge.
(Bv Associated Press.)

Washington, May 22.-The basis OF
the State Departments contention that
the California alien land act does not
in terms violate the treaty with Japan
was given careful scrutiny by all the
lawyers of the cabinet on the language
OF the law and treaty. Save upon the
single point that in depriving the ia
panese in California of the right of in
heritance to real estate they conclud-
ed there was no ground for complaint.
Officials gather from the Toxic dis
patches that the negotiations are drift
ing into a stage of pure disputation
where international lawyers on both
sides will have ample opportunity to
exercise their full resources in de-
termining the exact relations between
the California law and the treaty of
1911.

NO QUESTION IN HIS
Mind As TO IDENTITY
Believe That Boys Were Exchanged At
Cameron Ferry Between August rs
and 29-Men Closeted With Mayor
And Chief Of Police for Two Hours.

c. P. Dunbar and two men assisting
him in tracing the whereabouts of
little Bruce Anderson so that there
can be no further doubt as to the
identity of Bobbie Dunbar, are in Hat
tiesburg today following up a clue
which may throw some light on the
complicated mystery. They were
closeted with Mayor Batson and Chief
of Police Bennett for two hours this
morning during which time several
residents of the city were called in
and questioned concerning the strange
man who was here last summer with
some children, one of whom was be-
lieved to have been either Bruce An
derson or Bobbie Dunbar.
Mr.. Dunbar, with the other men,
came here last night from Poplarville,
where they were yesterday working
on a clue which convinces them that
the Dunbar child was exchanged for
the Anderson child a few days after
the kidnapping occurred last August.
Both Mr.. Dunbar and the other trac-
ers were very reticent in giving out
any information regarding the quest
that they are on, saying that for them
to give definite facts and names would
be to inform the parties they are
seeking and put them on their guard
thereby destroying the benefit of all
the information they have secured.
Mr.. Dunbar stated that in a general
way the information they obtained at
Poplarville yesterday serves to
strengthen them in their theory that
his little son was kidnapped and then
exchanged for the Anderson child OF
about his age He seemed to be con
fident that they are on a good trail
and that they will be successful not
only in locating the Anderson child
and settle forever the identity of Bob
bic Dunbar, but that they will also
show that Walters is a member of 6
band of crooks who has operated
throughout Mississippi and Louisiana
He said that all the members of the
gang go by the name of Walters ant
that kidnapping was not the only crime
of which they have been guilty.

INCOME TAX TO RAISE MORE,
THAN WAS EXPECTED

by Mr.. Hull and presented in the
House.
The work of whipping the Under
wood bill into final shape will begin
in earnest in the Senate committee
this week. The three subcommittee
engaged in preparing tentative changes
will continue at top speed. 1t is hoped
to bring the measure in for discussion
during the first week in June. Amend
ments expected will lower the duties
on nearly all items in the metal sched-
ules, covering productions of iron and
steel, and raise the rates on agricul-
tural products. None of the changes
will be of great consequence and all
will have tendency to equalize the
degree of protection afforded and al
low the consumer more benefits, if pos,
sible.
Leaders in both branches of Con-
gress are well satisfied with the pro-
gress of the tariff bill. Delay was ex-
pected from the outset in bringing the
measure before the Senate. 1t is ne
cessary for the Finance Committee to
correct all errors that slipped by the
House. 1t is also essential that the ad-
ministrative features be carefully
ironed out and made to meet the ex-
igencies of the Treasury and Justice
Departments. This naturally requires
deliberation and time.

Washington, May 22.-An aggregate
of 500, 1000, 900 annually will be brought
into the national treasury by tax
on incomes, according to the latest re-
vised estimates of experts. Previous
computations have fixed the ap-
proximate amount at $7O,O0O,OOO. Care
full examination of statistics and other
available data now has added $780,
100000 to the original sum.
1t has been figured that New York
will pay more than one-fifth.
In dividing results from the income
tax it is now concluded that the tax
placed on the incomes of corporations
will bring in $4O,O0O,O0O. The two
other features of the section will re-
alize a further $60,O0O,0O0.
This change in expectations has
greatly delighted and encouraged Dem
ocratic leaders, who consider the wis
dom of imposing an income tax has
been more than justified. In addition
there will be comfortable leeway for
falling off of revenues under the re-
vised tariff act when it becomes op-
perative.
The conviction prevails that the in
come tax feature of the Tariff bill will
be little changed in the Senate. Up to
this time no suggestion Of modifica-
ton has been made. 1t seems destined

a large crowd gathered at the Christ
ian Church last night at which time
Mr.. Clements had as his subject 1.-THE

stated in the beginning that he dis
agreed with the theories of a great
many of the scholars in regard to what
the objectionable sin is and that his
own conclusions were drawn from the
Bible and the Bible alone. By reading
various verses in the New Testament
the speaker drew the conclusion that
the objectionable sin can be COM
mitted unly by one who has be-
come a Christian and then only by
this Christian turning against Christ,
denying him publicly and refusing to
believe the teachings of Christ.
The song service was entered into
by a large part of the congregation
and was spirited from beginning to
end A duet by Mr.. Snyder and Mrs.

At the conclusion one young man
made the good confession.
