SKELETONS FOUND UNDER OLD HOUSE Believed to Have Been Vic- tims of Insane Eugene
 Butler

Niagara, N. D., June 26.-Workmen excavating under the house occupied until few years ago by Eugene But Ter. who died in 1913 in the state hos- ptal for the insane, unearthed the skeletons of six men believed by the authorities to have been murdered by Butler while employed by him as farm- hands. The skull of each had been crushed. Butler became violently in- sane nine years ago. but had never been suspected of the crimes disclosed today
 Before he was taken in charge by the state authorities in 1906, Butler, who vas prosperous farmer and unmar. ried was known to be mentally ds- ranged, and it was during this period of four or five years that he is be- lieved to have done away with the tasn.. There is no clue to the identity of the victims who had been buried side by side

Among the many accomplishments Of Judge Zell Gaston, the well-known at torney, near-farmer and dog fancier, is his knowledge of the code of procedure and rules of practice in preparing an old fashioned southern barbecue. There is no more delightful dish in the world than meats properly barbecued. and incidental lY there is no dish more disappointing than meats not properly barbecued. To him who has never partaken of sure enough" barbecue dinner, there is this to say, that he has something to live for, as barbecued shoat, lamb, beef chick en, with Brunswick stew on the side, are viands fit for the gods. This however
 is merely incidental to this article.
 On Tuesday, June 29, the Birmingham Kennel club will hold it's annual outing and barbecue at Judge Gaston's palatial farm near Roebuck Springs. It will be strictly a stag affair Why the ladies were excluded was left to w. S. Scott, the Apollo of the club, to explain. He will
 be pleased to tell the reason. Not
 only has Judge Gaston given over for the
 time being his Hands and tenements, n puN hds dioo PiOlititu tO tdht ptfSolldi charge of the barbecue. Needless to say his proffer was accepted on the spot.
 Speaking of the Birmingham Kennel club it is composed of practically every dog 'fancier in the Birmingham district And all are enthusiastic, both as to the
 club and the particular breed of man s best friend that has taken their fancy. l When a person becomes a "bug" on any particular subject whether it be dogs l chickens, microbes or Halleys comet. he | usually goes the limit. He may be per fecty sane and sensible on every other 1 subject. but is a candidate for the fool

ATTACK LEGALITY
 INCOME TAX LAW Papers Filed for First Test of Provisions of New
 Currency Act

Washington. June 26=Papers were l fled here today in the first attack in the supreme court on the constitution aiity of the federal income tax, which promises to be the most important case before the court next term. Counsel for John r. and Horace E. Dodge of Detroit filed a brief of argument at ticking the surtax on income of indi viduals.
 Three main reasons were assigned for claiming the surtax provision of the law is invalid Stockholders in cor porations, it is asserted, when com putting their surtaxes, are subjected to liability for the gains and profits of the corporations which have not been divided or distributed.
 "ro tax a stockholder on prospect i've dividends which he may never re- | ce:ve can only be properly character iaed as so utterly absurd as to induce 1 levity" the brief declares.
 It is charged also that the provision vests in the Secretary of the Treasury 1 an arbitrary power of determining without hearing, whether any cor poration has accumulated greater radivided surplus than is reasonable for the needs of the business
 A third reason is that the provision p' rmits corporations to accumulate and withhold from surtax such part of l their profits as may be reasonably | necessary for the needs and purposes of the business and does not accord such business privilege to individuals and partnerships. It is urged that cor porations are thus favored by a most invidious discrimination"
 The brief urges that the sixteenth amendment to the constitution did not oblterate entirely the provisions of the constitution against direct taxes and that Congress can only tax income ard not real or personal property It is contended that Congress can make no distinctions as to the source of in- 1 come.
 If Congress has such power some very popular discriminations are . within it's reach, the brief asserts.
 1t would be very popular in somC , quarters" 1t says, ito levy a higher
 rate on incomes derived from the man.
 dfacture of liquors Another popular discrimination would be to increase thu rate on income from oil and steel ant automobile corporations. And just be fore each congressional or presidential : election the demand for a lower rat
 on incomes derived from agriculture
 pursuits would be irresistible' The case was begun to prevent tn collector of internal revenue at De troit from collecting surtaX on eacl of the Dodges of approximately S45,00 for the year 1913. The Michigan fed aral district court held the tax valid
