ALL TAX REPEAL BILLS
ARE REPORTED ADVERSELY

until we put something better in its
place"
Representative Stovail declared
that the vote on the enactment OF
the tax equalization law was IS 20
lawful majority. He expressed the
opinion that the law has never been
legal, and that it should be repealed
as soon as possible.
II am frank to admit that the re-
peal would result in a decrease in
taxes, and that is what we want"
Mr.. Stovall stated. Ninety per
cent of us are reducing our own eX-
penses these days, and the state
must do the same. The tax receiv-
ers and collectors could continue to
operate under the old law, as they
did forty years, from 1877 to 1917,
and the state wasn't in debt then, Ell
Their, as it is now. 1 don't believe
in holding the feet of rs per cent of
the people to a fire that is getting
very, very hot, until we can get the
feet Of somebody else to hold there
Mr.. Stovall stated that he intro.
duced bill providing for an income
with an income of more than $4,000
tax of one per cent on all persons
at the 1910 and 1911 sessions of the
legislature, and was informed at
that time that an income tax could
be written into the law without a
constitutional amendment.
1.-The people have spoken for the
repeal of the tax equalization law
in three elections" declared Repre-
sentative Daniel. THAT provision
was in the platform of Governor
Dorsey, Governor Hardwick, and

der the old system, the tax receiver
came to our doors. and asked us
specifically about improved land,
unimproved land, household goods,
money, notes, bonds, etc, and he
made us hold UP our hands and
swear that we were telling the
1 truth. Furthermore, he knew every
piece of land in the county and

had been voted down, Mr.. Ennis
stated that the bills were of too
wide a nature to be decided with

the early trading today, but favora-
BILE weather over the belt and eXpec-
tations of at least fairly favorable
weekly weather and crop reports
from the government caused a reac-
ton. At the end of the first hour
OF the session prices were I to 20
points lower than the close of yes
terday. July rose to 26.S5 and fell
off to 26.40; October rose to 1892
and fell off to 1906. The appear
ance of a very few tenders helped
to weaken July.
The weekly crop returns were
considered about as favorable as ex-
pected and caused moderate selling
OF the new crops. July was almost
inactive. In the trading up to IL
o'clock the new crop positions
widened their net decline to 10 to
10 points, October falling off to
22.90.
Claims of high temperatures in
Oklahoma, wired to brokerage
houses here, checked the downward
movement and brought about re-
eoveries Of about 20 points in more
active months, October trading at

COTTON

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE cot
ton market opened steady at an ad-
vance of Il to 26 points in response
to relatively firm cables and con-
tinued apprehension of drOuth II
the southwest or boil weevil dam
age. July sold up to 1920 and Oc-
tober to 24.03 on the call, but the
higher prices met a, good deal of
southern selling and realizing which
caused more or less irregularity
during the early trading. July
eased off to 1852 and october to
1884. or within to Z points of yes
terday's closing. Sellers on the
opening advance appeared to be in
fluenced by the weakness of the
opening stock market. the reappear-
ance of dollar wheat in the Chicago
market and an unfavorable view OF
the labor situation.
Offerings increased slightly fol-
lowing the publication of the week
ly report of the weather bureau.
which evidently made a favorable
impression on sentiment as to the
progress of the crop. Rumors that
one of the private reports indicated
a mid-month condition of 70.2 or
0.S points above the end-June bu-
reau was also regarded as indi-
eating some increase in the crop
prospect and prices eased off to
26.75 for July and 1854 for October
or about 10 to 10 points net lower.
General business was not active,
but there was no aggressive sup
port, apparently, and the market
was barely steady at midday.
Selling was checked during the
early afternoon by detailed weather
reports showing high temperatures
more general in the southwest and
October rallied from 1858 to 1913.
This bulge was not fully maintain
ed, however. and the market was
quiet around o'clock with active
months about 10 to Is points net
lower.

AMERICAN GUNBOAT
FIRED ON BY CHINESE
Engages in Ten-Minute Battle
While on Patrol of
We. .
West River.

By the Associated Press.
CANTON, July 23.-Previous to the
recent capture of Wuchow by the
constitutionalists, the United States
gunboat Pampanga, while patroling
the West river protecting American
interests, was fired on by artillery
and rifles at Dosing, twent-seven
miles below Wuchow, by Kwangsi
troops, although the ship was flying
two large American flags. 1t Is the
first time in the history of the West
river that an American gunboat has
been fired on.
The Pampanga, in self-defense, was
forced to return the fire Of the at
tackerS. Some difficulty was expert-
enced in maneuvering the ship. The
action lasted about ten minutes There
were no American casualties.
An apology for the attack was de-
manded by Lieut.. Leland P. Lovette,
commander of the gunboat, and given
by the Chinese. Lieut.. Lovette last
week brought peace to this section
of China for the first time in months
by acting as an INTERN ediary between
the forces Of Sun yat-sen, southern
constitutionalist leader, and the
Kwangsi army under Stumbling
yiung.

ENGLAND VEER|NG
To 12-M|LE LIMIT
Hughes Proposal for Stop.
ping Rum Running More
FavorabIy Met in London.

Recent developments in England in
connection with Secretary Hughes
proposal for special treaty to deal
with ship liquor stores and rum-run-
ming incline officials here to believe
that n more favorable sentiment is
developing in London toward the
American twelve-mile- limit plan.
Since the London foreign office
committee considering the American
suggestion has reported. it was pointed
out today, there have been numerous
indications that the committed took
a more favorable view of the plan
than 1t was at first thought foreign
office officials were disposed to do.
The apparent favorable reaction is
believed to be due to a. better un-
derstandfng of what really was pro-
posed, and a realization that nothing
had been suggested that in any way
impaired the three-mile limit princf-
pie of international law because no
Legitimate commerce could be embar-
rassed by extension of the zone of
search and seizure against contra
band.
There is precedent in British prac-
tice for local extensions of territorial
Jurisdiction beyond the three-mile
limit. 1t is pointed out here that the
British method of granting pearl
fisheries permits in far eastern pos
sessions rests upon the patrol of wa
ters beyond three miles off shore. and
this has never been regarded by any
power as in any way invalidating the
general principle of three-mile ter
ritorial delimination.
1t is assumed in Washington that
complete study of the American pro-
posal and of British precedents has
exercised favorable influence in
British foreign office circles, and Ii
Is Hoped that this will be reflected
when the formal British reply Is
dra Fl ed

CHESTER, ILL.,. July 23.--Fifteen
Of forty-one insane convicts, who last
night escaped from the state hospital
for the criminal insane here, had been
recaptured this morning.
Acting concertedly, in contradiction
to the frequently expressed theory
chat insane persons cannot act in
unison, the frenzied madmen escaped
by battering down q section of steel
mesh wire fence, after killing one of
their own number and seriously
wounding two guards. DR.. Frank
Stubblefield. superintendent, suffered
a fractured arm in attempting to hold
back the inmates.
Negro Convict Killed.
The dead convict is William Jack
son. a negro, convicted in Chicago
on a murder charge. 1t was asserted
today that he was stabbed to death
by his fellow convicts in the general
fight preceding the escape, and not by
guards as previously reported.
The wounded guards are James
Denney, who was stabbed below the
heart, and Ralph Dilday, who was
clubbad about the head. Little hope
is held for Denney's recovery, 1t was
said.

the crime.
Possibility that the court might
authorize the jurors to reopen the
case and investigate the possibility
of Mrs. Kepner having destroyed her

it should follow the regular course of
