DUNCAN ARRAIGNED
ON MURDER CHARGE
Man Who Shot His Wife in Rutland
Pleads Not Guilty and Is Held
Without Bail.

RUTLAND, August 11.-George W.
Duncan was arraigned before F. e.
Swinnerton at the county jail yester-
day on the charge Of premeditated muir
der. Duncan shot and fatally wounded
his wife at the home OF Mrs. Edward
Dezero last Saturday night.
Appearing very calm he pleaded not
guilty, waived examination and was
bound over to the September term Of
the Rutland County court without bail.
He was represented by Attorney 10
seph G. Jones and the state was repre-
sented by State s Attorney G. V. Pou-
lin and City Grand Juror Charles D.
Novak, who assisted the state's attor-
ney in the initial investigation.
The state S attorney has notified the
two assistant judges, Edwin Horton Of
Chittenden and Samuel Hitchcock OF
West Haven, that it will be necessary
to call session of the grand jury
and it is probable that the judges vii
confer at the court house next Wednes
| day to draw both the grand and petit
jury.
Rutland attorneys intend to ask
Judge Butler to hold short session q
court on Scatember u, the opening DAY
of the September term, as it conflicts
with election day and most of the in
rOrs will want to remain in thel
| home towns.

RESTORE LIMIT On
THE INCOME TAX
Democrats Decide Against Reduction
Consider 10 Per Cent Tax on
Munitions Profits.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Yieldinc
to a flood of protests from the coun-
try and from senate and house members
of their own party, Democrats Of the
state finance committee recon sider4d
yesterday their decision to lower the
exemption ON the income tax law from
81 900 to $4,000 for married and single
persons, to $4,000 and $4,000 respsc-
lively, but voted to make the rate of
tax on the lowest taxable class of in
come per cent instead of l per cent.
lad the committee declined to Weld
on the amount the Democratic sena1c
caucus probably would have reversed
it. The amendment increasing the sur
tax on incomes exceeding $2,000,000
from 10 to Is per cent is retained and
there is a probability that further in
creases in the surtaxes will be made in
| caucus.
Last night the Democratic caucus
| continued consideration of committee
| amendments and had before it the pro,
rosal agreed on by the committee late
in the day, striking out the specific ex
else taxes on munitions manufacturers
| and submitting a 10 per cent net profit
tax on the profits of all manufacturers
of munitions and of wares that enter
into munitions.
The committee also adopted al
amendment increasing the salaries OF
members of the proposed tariff board
from 81 800 to $4,000 each.
| As revised by the committee, the bill
woAld yield an estimated annual rev
enue of $l9S,000.000 as against $210,
100000 as it passed the house. The ne
decrease is due to the change in TIL
munitions tax, the house method pro
viding for $72,00O,OOO and the senate
plan, $45. 100000
