FERRIS Hopes OF
PEACE have FLED
Governor Is Unable to Rec
Oncile Miners and
Operators.
OWNERS ARE DEFIANT.
Declare That Under No Circum-
stances Will They Recognize
Western Federation.
OWNERS ARE DEFIANT.

Hougghton, Mich, Jan. S.-Governo1
Ferris efforts to effect reconcilia-
ton between the copper mine owners
and officials of the Western Federation
of Miners, have proved futile. This
was the general belief expressed fol-
lowing the close late today of the in
vestigation conducted by the state ex-
ecutive into the strike situation. The
governor, who will leave the copper
country tomorrow, refused to discuss
his findings tonight
The day was gigen over to hearing
the mine owners story of the
troubles in the district. Attorney A.
F. Rees, for the mine owners, made
their position clear early in the hear
ing and shattered any hope the gov
ernor may have had for effecting a
settlement
eve will never, on any considera-
ton, either directly or indirectly, rec
ognize the Western Federation of
Miners, nor go so far as to treat with
Them" said Rees.
A question from Governor Ferris
as to whether the mine owners
would treat with any labor organiza
ton and whether or not the mine op-
orators believe in the rights of organ
lied labor, brought series of fairly
evasive answers from the attorney
and some of the mine owners present.
Many of the latter, however, said that
ORGANIZED labor would not be objec-
tionable, providing the organizations
were properly conducted.
Immediately after the statements
of the mine owners had been made
to the governor, the labor leaders, who
had also been present at the hearing.
walked out, and Governor Ferris an
nounced the hearing had come to an
end.
Charles H. Meyer, president of the
Federation of Miners, returned to the
copper country today. He was accom-
panid by two guards and his secre-
tary. He came only after he had re-
ceived a guarantee Of protection from
Governor Ferris. On his arrival Moy-
err announced that he intended to stay
until the end of the strike, despite any
action of the Citizens Alliance or the
mine operators. The Western Fedora
ton president did not leave the train
at Houghton or appear to the great
crowd that gathered at the depot. At
Hancock, crowd of miners and strike
sympathizers greeted him with round
after round of cheers as he stepped
from the train into the waiting auto
mobile of Sheriff Cruise, in which he
was taken to the labor headquarters
in the Scott hotel. Meyer would
make no statement other than the
brief announcement that he was UNI
der the protection of the governor and
intended to remain.

clerks and some voters.
The ballots in the Washington
township box showed the same num-
Der Of votes for Brewster and Will

the sub committee that canvassed
the returns of the primary election

Among the witnesses heard during
the afternoon were G.. C. Monk and
H. L. Phillips, partisians of Will
liams land who testified that the
election was fairly conducted in
Washington township, that they had
made out tickets for votes, at the
voters request, and Mr.. Phillips adj
mitted on the stand that two Of the
voters had asked him to make out
their ballot" because they wanted to
vote for the Taxpayers Protective
Associations candidates. c. A.
Lennon, clerk, testified that he
made out no tickets, Notwithstanding
the claim of Williams attorneys that
he had.
In the Vaugine township count
Brewster gained another vote. The
original returns, as canvasseds and
as reported on the night of the cleo
ton. gave Brewster 102 and Will
lams, IS. The recent showed Will
!iams to have received 81. In this
township Brewster only challenged
one vote, and his challenge was sus-
tanned by the evidence, although the
sub committee has made no ruling
since the investigation began on
legal or illegal votes.

FROM NEXT SATURDAY

By an agreement reached yesterday
in the water rate hearing which has
been in progress some days before
Standing Master Durand Whipple, of
Little Rock, unless all testimony is in
by Saturday afternoon, the hearing is
to go over until January 49,. AS each

has only gotten in a small portion of
the evidence, ii is certain that the
hearing will be postponed
That there will be further delay in
the hearing in the long run was
made certain when B. c. Fowles, gem
eral manager of the Pine Bluff Com
pany, admitted after being on the
witness stand two hours, that he was
not conversant with the $4,000 item.
named the day before as used toward
the construction of the plant. He had
not checked the hgufeS.
After giving much testimony on
cross and redirect examination, he
said that the figures comprising the
Sal, 600 item had been compiled by the
company's auditor, and had been
handed to him only short time prev
iously... While the testimony given
e.. 4Sr.As ~
will go into the record-al1 testimony
of whatever nature given, goes into the
record at this time-it is believed that
the Pine Bluff Company will have to
place the company's auditor on the
stand to give testimony concerning the
$47 900 item.
Some of the things being brought
out at the hearing are that there are
no flat rates for water being given In
Pine Bluff and that the meter system
was placed into effect without CONSUME
ers being questioned as to their
wishes. whether a meter basis ar flat
rate was desired.
General Manager Fowles testified
that during his administration there
had betn laid approximately 1900
feet of water mains and that there
have been approximately 1,215 water
meters installed.
He was on the stand until nearly
four O'Clock yesterday afternoon. After
that time the Pine Bluff Company In
troduced as an exhibit a short piece
Of service pipe, which it is said was
laid in 1889.
There are two reasons advanced as
to why the hearing will have to be
postponed after Saturday until later
date. For one reason, G. R. Shannon,
expert accountant of Ewing & Co.,
Memphis, an important witness for tina
city Of Pine Bluff, will not be able to
remain here for tn present and cannot
return until January 10. For another
raeson, there are some exhibits which
Standing Master Whipple has called
for, and which 1t will require time for
the Pine Bluff Company to furnish.
The hearing will be resumed az
TO- 80 o'clock this morning.

School authorities
VETO CHILDREN PARADE
PROHIBITION CAUSE ADVOCATES
WISH THEM TO MARCH IN
BODY AS PROTEST AGAINST
SALOONS
To Parade Streets After School
Hours As Individuals, With Con-
sent Of Parents. Is
Only Way

Rumors, circulated yesterday to
the effect that children of the public
schools would march in body this
afternoon at 3 o'clock in protest
against the re-opening of saloons,
when sifted, resulted in rlnding
that those espousing the prohibition
cause had asked for such a demon
stration, and has been refused by
the school authorities. At 3 o'clock
it is said that some children may
parade, and if they. do so, it will be
only with the consent of their par
ents and they will march as indivi-
duals, not as a school body.
Asked last night in regard to the
matter, Superintendent of Schools
Junius Jordan said the matter had
been discussed, that the child
rem would not march as school
body, but that some children might
enter parade after, school hours,
and could do SO, as they would be
without the jurisdiction of the school
authorities and teachers after school
hours.
Prof. j. r. Allen. principal Of the
High School and Prof. F. Garland
May, principal of Lakeside scnovi,
each said there had been discussion
on this point, but prohibition advo-
Gates, favoring the move, were in
formed that it could not take place
as wished.

PRESIDENT WILSON
BREAKS HIS SILENCE

Pass Christian, Miss, Jan. S.-Pres-
ident Wilson broke his long silence
on the Mexican question today, to
make clear two points. First, that no
Mexican of any type accompanied Mr..
Lind on his journey on the Chester.
Second, that Charge d'Affairs
O'Shaughnessy's name was not men
toned, except in the most cordial way
during the conference between him
self and his personal envoy.

HARVEY WITHDRAWS
FROM LIQUOR CASE

Attorney lBen Harvey yesterday
announced his withdrawal from the
liquor license petition hearing which
will be heard by his father, Cou1ty
Judge w. H. Harvey, January 10, at
Star City. The reason for Attorney
Harvey's withdrawal was the fact
that the liquor license petitions for
Lincoln county are to be heard by
his father and for this reason the
appearance of both father and son
in the case might cause embarass-
ment.

may also be deducted to the extent
that the cost of the new articles does
not exceed the value of the old. No
deduction may be made for the cost
of additional farm machinery, but
credit may be allowed for the annual
depreciation in the value of such ma
chinery. For example, if a machine
cost 500. and is regarded as good for
ten years of service, the annual de-
probation would be 10 per cent, and
a deduction of $40 each year could
be made on this account, as part of
the expense of operating the farm.
The expense of supporting the fam
lily, however, can not be deducted
from the gross income. Among items
for which credit is not allowed are ex-
pense for medical attendance, life in
surance, insurance on dwelling, store
accounts, family supplies, wages of
domestic servants, and cost of board,
room or house rent for family or per-
sonal use. In case an individual owns
his residence he cannot deduct the
estimated value of his rent. But a
tenant operating a rented farm as
proprietor may deduct the rent of the
farm as part of the expense of his
business.
Farmers are not required to include
IN, hnt he AL
from the farm and consumed by the
family. Only produce sold off the
farm is to be included. A farmer is
not entitled to deduction for his own
labor, or for expense of feeding live
stock. He may, however, deduct such
items as cost of fertilizer and other
supplies and materials which are used
up in the course of his operations.
This provides that for the year 1913
the tax shall be computed only on the
net income for the ten months from
March LIST to December 31st, and that
returns shall be made on the basis
of tive-siXths of the year Therefore,
if the Net Income for the last ten
months of 1913 amounts to $1,000 or
more a return on form 1910 is re-
