CITIES TO GET HALF
STATE INCOME TAX
Republican Leaders in Assem-
bly, Also Agree to Let
Travis Collect It.
specia! Despatch 10 THE Sun.

ALBANY, April 11.-Republican leaders
In the Assembly have agreed TO pass
amendments to the income tax bill sub
mltted by the Joint Taxation Committee
which will give the state Comptroller the
authority to enforce the law and to give
the cities instead OF the counties the 90
per cent, OF the revenue which Is to go to
the localities.
Frederick NJ. Davenport, chairman of
tho committee, Is opposed to changing
the provision in the bill which would take
from the Tax Commission the duty of
collecting the income tax. and Comp
troller Travis. who has opposed imposi-
tion OF the tax altogether, blames
Speaker Sweet for the amendment.
These amendments and others which
change details In the proposed business
tax and in the personal property tax
were submitted to the Assembly to-day.
Chairman Davenport. II Is understood, is
in favor of the plan TO turn over to the
cities the localities share
The Assembly leaders figure that II the
lower house passes the income tax bill
amended to meet their ideas and sends It
TO the Senate that bill or nothing will
have to be taken in tho last days of the
session. If the session Ia extended as q
result of the revolt Of Senators Thomp-
son, Graves. Fowler and Davenport this
plan may miscarry but there were sug-
sestions to-day that II tho four In the
upper house try TO hold UP adjournment
the Assembly, which can complete its
work next week. will take a recess.
Assemblyman Franklin w. Judson of
Monroe, who is vlce-chairman OF the
Joint Taxation Committee, and Assem-
blyman Joseph A. McGuinness Of Ripley,
one of the leaders OF the lower house,
who also served on the committee, are
understood to be ready to back the
amendments.
Tho Assembly leaders say the Comp
trohers office Is the logical one to collect
the income tax rs It collects other taxes.
To establish a tax commission bureau in
the commissions Office would divide au-
thority. they assert. and duplicate eff
forts would result in waste.

Burke Makes Denial.

Burke on the witness stand denied
that he ever had any talk with
Senator Thompson about trust COM
panies, but finally did recall some sug-
gestions of Senator Thompson that a
trust company would make money In
Lockport, and he told the committee he
said to Thompson:
We'll. II ! can gather enough together
I'll take little of that myself"
It is understood that the committee
has Information by which It can be
proved that Senator Thompson told sew
eral friends in Lockport in February,
1917. about the offer OF 100000 for
starting a trust company in that city,
laughing about the matter as though II
were a Joke.
To the committee Burke appeared
as mystery man. In answer to a ques-
ton as to whom he represented, he said /:
THAT Is os funny 1t makes me laugh,
did not represent any one but myself"
He declared that his purpose In con-
tinuing his friendship with Senator
Thompson was TO use him" He left
unexplained his acquaintance with such
men as Nicholas f. Brady. TO whom he
telephoned to arrange a meeting with
Senator Thompson John p. Stanchfield,

whose office he conducted the Senator.
and others.
II never got a dollar from Mr.. Brady,
directly or indirectly" said Mr.. Burke.
II was playing Thompson. He had TO
blame somebody when he talked his
head of. and he Just slapped It on me-"
A roar OF laughter swept the Senate
chamber. and Burke went on with a
story that he had fooled Senator Thomp-
son from the start OF his intimacy with
him after the inquiry into the New York
! City Public Service Commission by pos
ing as the man who furnished him GER

Paris.-A special session of both
houses of the American congress prob
ably will be called to assemble about
the middle of May, the date when
President Wilson hopes to return to
the United States.
1t is possible that if the treaty of
peace is sufficiently advanced to war
rant such course, a special session of
the senate may be called even earlier
to afford it opportunity to deal with
this subject before being called upon
to direct its attention to other impor-
tant matters, chief of which will be
financial affairs.
1t is held to be unnecessary for Pres
fdent Wilson to be in Washington
when the call for such special ses-
sion is issued, for this may be cabled
from Paris in advance of his departure

JuareZ, Colonel Augustin
Mora, commander of the Juarez dis
trict, announced Friday he had re-
ceived what he considered additional
confirmation of reports received from
General Fortunate Zuazua that Martin
Lopez, Epifanio Holquin, Ramon Vega
and Felix Martinez, Villa generals,
were killed during the battle Of Bou-
quilla del Marquette, Chihuahua,
seyenty,five miles south of the bor-
der. He said this confirmation came
in military messages from General
zHagtsa, set set 81 runner
No additional details were given In
these messages, he said, except that
the federal cavalry was pursuing
closely the remainder of Lopez band
and hoped to overtake and capture
them. The losses sustained by the
bandits was heavy.
Martin Lopez is the most famous
revolutionary leader in northern Mex
leo, next to Francisco villa, his chief.
Born in San Ysidro, Chihuahua, the
scene of many revolutionary battles,
Eopez joined Villas command as a
boy when Villa was operating indie
pendently in the Sierra Madre noun
tain range of western Chihuahua.
Yet young man, Lopez had gained
fame through Mexico for his daring
deeds of banditry.
. He was credited with having orig
mated the plan of dynamiting passen-
ger trains, executing the federal es-
corts, isolating the passengers and
then forcing men, women and children
to remove all their clothing, which he
carried off to his women followers in
the mountain caches.
He was recognized as Villas best
pupil in fearless fighting and often
led attacks when villa was sick or
wounded. He was a brother of Pablo
Lopez, who was captured by Carranza
troops after the Columbus raid and
executed at Chihuahua City.
