one Of them hit upon ruse which

the Pacific and his new-found love, but
he confessed to her that he was good
Catholic, that his daughters illness had
been preying upon his mind, and that
he must return and see her before she
died.
Meanwhile Mrs. Graham Helm could
not resist letting friends know Of her
blissful state. She wrote a fatal letter
10 Mrs. Grace Mayell, Of Flatbush, that
Anton and he were having the time OF
their lives, that their bliss had never
been rufiied with one single spat, and
that darling Anton was a perfect Jewel.

SAD, SEES HEARSE, DIES
Chinese Feudist, Downhearted
Over Execution of Friends.

The friends of Jim Gum, one of
Chinatown's leaders, who died yester-
day of what the physicians say was
pneumonia, at "a Mott Street, his
home, say he really came to his end
through worry over the execution in
Sing Sing recently of the two Chinese
murderers.
Gum was a true Chinaman. He be-
lievad that the Chinese trial code was
superior to that followed here, and
that the conviction of Ing Hing and
Lee Dock was not in accordance with
Chinese justice.
When Hing and Dock died in the
chair Gum became respondent. For
years he had tried to inject into China
town the code that the man who killed
was to suffer at the hands of the vic
TINS relatives.
Broken in spirit, Jim Gum, against
the advice of his physician, got out of
bed yesterday. Chinese music drew
him to the window. He saw the hearse
carrying the body of zee Bow Kong.
His weeping alarmed his wife, who
ushered him back to bed. A few hours
later he was dead.

DECIDE ON STAMP
TAX ON LIQUOR
Senators in Caucus Vote
to Withdraw Higher
License Bill.

From {. stan Correspondent Of The Tribune)
Albany, April 20.-The Republican
Senator'S in caucus tonight made
changes in their indirect tax pro-
gramme by which they hope to add
more than $4,000, 900 to the revenues Of
the state. They decided TO withdraw
the Wilson bill, which would increase
by SO 13 per cent saloon and hotel
licenses, and substitute for il a stamp
act calculated to raise 100000. It
provides for stamps on alcoholic
drinks. as follows:
Barrel of beer, cents; gallon of
whiskey, "a cents; pint bottle beer,
one-sixteenth of cent; quart OF i'm
ported champagne, so cents.
The amount of stamps on other kinds
of wines and liquors has not yet been
decided upon, although IT was agreed
TO mike the tex on domestic wines
very light. 1t is expected that the bill
will be introduced tomorrow. The
Senators believe that this tax will be
more equitable because it is governed
by the volume of business instead Of
being a fiat increase on the liquor GER
tihcate.
To Tax Jitney Buses.
It was also agreed to pass the Sulli-
van-LawsOn bill repeating the present
law, which reduces by half the tax on
automobiles which have been in use fov
four years. II is expected that $120,-
900 will be raised in this way. A new
bill will be introduced taxing inter
urban jitney buses 81 seat and plac-
ing commercial machines in the same
class as other motor vehicles. At pres
ent commercial cars are taxed a fiat
rate OF s.. Under the proposed law
they would be taxed by the horsepower.
Governor Whitman and sponsors for
various proposed amendments 20 the
election and primary law decided to-
day at a conference to abandon the
proposition to submit to the voters the
question of returning to the old form
Of nominating by state convention. A
clause intended to provide such d refer
endum is contained in the Walters bill,
which now is in the Senate Judiciary
Committee.
Local Option Bill Lost.
An attack on Speaker Sweet by As
semblyman Hamilton Fish, jr, marked
an unsuccessful attempt of sponsors
for the Anti-Saloon Leagues state
wide local option bill to have the meas
ure considered by the Assembly to-day.
Fish said that Sweet was q DR.. Jekyl
and Mr.. Hyde on the question of liquor
legislation. charging that he had sent
letters broadcast through the state i'm
pugnng his position on the locc, op-
ton bill.
The local option question was
brought up to-day on the motion Of
Asemblyman Howard, sponsor for the
local option bill, to discharge the rules
committee from further consideration
Of the measure. Favorable action on
the motion would have thrown the bill
before the House. However the spon-
sors were able 10 muster only 50 of
the rs affirmative votes necessary TO
discharge the committee. There were
Il noes.
