ENGLISH MINORS EXEMPT
From the Operation of the Income Tax,
Decided in Huxley Case.

London, Jan. Three judges OF the
divisional court have decided that WI
liam Huxley. the well-known English
Jockey, is not liable for income tax.
He had been assessed on $4,000, but
on his behalf the question was raised
whether a youth under p years, who has
no guardian OF trustee. is liable for in
come tax The court accepted the mega
tive view. One Of the justices said il
seemed TO him impossible to hold that an
infant who could not ordinarily be
served with legal process or exercise the
right Of appeal should be assessable to
income tax unless the legislature so pro
vided.
The effect Of this decision. says The
Mail, viii be wider now than in peace
time. Ordinarily minors are caught in
the income tax owing to the simple fact
that their incomes are usually unearned
increment administered for them by
guardians and trustees. A few jockeys
and infant prodigies have escaped. but
now there must be thousands Of minors
who are earning up to $50 week in mu-
milton factories

Immense Devastation.

Paris, July IA. p. ma wireless
despatch from Athens today describes
the destruction of the summer palace
of King Constantine and the burning
of the forest of Tatoi, in which the
palace stood. The king, says the des-
patch, escaped in an automobile from
a dangerous position where he was
directing the foresters endeavoring to
eXtinguish the fire which had started
in the woods. The motor in which
the king approached the burning dis
trict had been surrounded by flames
and he darted on foot through the
anger zone, reaching another auto
mobile and got away in safety.
flames and perished, among them sew
eraI army officers. The forest, which
was the largest in Greece, was entire
Iy burned over The total loss from
the flames, exceeds 10000, 600 francs.
1t is suspected that the fire start
ed from the carlelessness of wander
ing vagabonds in throwing a ciga-
rette stub into dry brush wood, the
countryside being dried out by lack
of rain and intense heat.
The pavilion of Queen Mother Olga
and the palace of the Crown Prince
were destroyed and also it is feared,
the tomb of King George.
King Constantine shed tears at the
sight of the devastation wrought by

DEMOCRATS SEE END
A LONG WAY OFF
Bills Enough on Hand to Keep sena-
tors in Washington for Two Months

Washington, July 14.-Democrats of
the senate will caucus tomorrow night
to consider further the legislative
program for the remainder of the ses-
sion. Some democratic senators are
making urgent appeals for considera-
ton of special measures not included
in the imperative program drawn up
by party leaders and democratic and
republican conferees have been unable
to agree formally on what measures
should be disposed of before adjourn
ment.
At a Joint conference with the dem
ocrats early this week republican sem
ators agreed to a program including
the appropriation, revenue, Sh1pplnS
and corrupt practices bills. There was
no agreement, however, on the child
labor, workmen's s compensation and
immigra tion measures and their cham
pions now are insisting that they
should not be deferred until next ses-
sion. Other democrats are pressing
tor action on the vocational education
bill, the suffrage amendment and nu-
merous other matters.
Senator Gallinger, the republican
leader, told the senate today that how
soon an adjournment was reached was
entirely within the hands of the dem
OcratS and that the republicans would
cooperate in completing the program.
Democratic leaders realize that final
passage of the naval and army ap-
preparation bills and the revenue and
shipping measures alone will require
four or five weeks at least and that If
many other measures are to he taken
up the idea of an adjournment by
Sept. l must be abandoned.
The house is expected to complete
the entire legislative program suggest
ed by President Wilson by passage
tomorrow of the Rucker corrupt prac-
tees bill.
Until the senate is ready to adjourn
the house will mark time.
