SHAKEN
AS STORE GARAGE IS
DYNAM|TED MONDAY

GAINESVILLE, Ga, April 2S.-
Gainesville was shaken this morning
at 8 o'clock when a store on the
outskirts of the city was damaged
by a blast Of dynamite. The build
ing belongs to Leman RaIston, WHO
runs the store and garage, which is
opposite the Alta Vista cemetery.
The front of the building, including
a shed, was blown away, and all
window glass was broken. The same
was true of building located 40 feet
away.
There was no one at the store at
the time, and officers have as yet
been unable to establish the identity
of the dynamiters. 1t was at Rails
tons garage that young man by
the name of Whitmire was killed a
few days ago as the result of
practical joke. Three young men,
Rich Edwards, George F'ester and
W. A. Sigman. were given a pre-
liminary hearing Saturday and held
under bonds of $500 each in connec-
ton with the case.
Whitmire was a native Of Forsyth
county. Officers think that possibly
some of his friends may have dyna-
mited the place in a spirit Of
revenge. Ralston is we'll known to
officers, having had several auto
mobiles seized in whisky cases.

BILL

BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Immi.
grafton legislation has progressed tc
a point where it can be determined
roughly what the quota of each
country will be under the proposed
law as compared with quotas under
the present law, which expires
June 80.
The quotas of the new law will

the various nationalities resident in
the United States as determined by
the census of 1880, plus 100. Quotas
under the existing law are per
cent with the 1910 census as a base.
The number of quota immigrants
admissible annually under the pres
ent law is 357 1903. Under the pro-
posed law it will be, roughly, 161-
1874, according to calculations made
for the congressional immigration
committees.
However, in addition to the 161,
1S4 who would be allowed to come
in under the quota regulations, there
would be an undetermined number
who might come in under the eX-
emption clauses OF the law.
The exemption clauses of the SEN

worked out il a conference commit

come in under whatever exemptions

Woman Art Student,
Found Dead in Lake,
Joins Spirit Affiianced

CHICAGO. April 27-The body of
a woman, identified later as Miss
Janet Stedman. Chicago artist, who
formerly lived at Peoria, and who
disappeared last February. was taken
from Lake Michigan. Frien d $
expressed the opinion that she had
voluntary gone to join her spiritual
sweetheart.
Years ago, when the attractive
44year-old painter studied music
abroad, injury caused deformity
which left her lame.
Her sensitive nature barred a pub
lie career, and she turned to paint
ing. While in Paris she and a
young Frenchman, said to have been
a scion of the nobility. fell in love.
He died and left her welded to her
art alone.
After her return to Chicago ne
told friends she had been able to
meet and converse with the spirit
OF her French affianced. She kept
trysts with tho spirit at the IT
institute and elsewhere, and these
visits seemed to bring her happiness.
The spiritual courtship was the
only manifestation of any abnormal
condition, according to her friends.
A day or two after her disappear
ance two of her paintings were de-
livered from a DEMONSTRATING shop
to the studio of her friendS Miss
Laura Abrams. The latter recalled
that Miss Stedman had said to her:
When | am gone I want you to
have these two works"
A few days later, Mrs. A. w. Al
len. of Peoria, a sister, asked the
Chicago police t. search for the
missing artist

matte arts at a music school, told
Of an eisht-year mountaineering

PUBL|CANS. PLAN
STRATEGY To BEAT
TAX Of DEMOCRATS

a. WASHINGTON, April 27.-The
senate will launch into the income
tax rates, the crux of the controversy
on the revenue bill, on Monday I'M
: der program announced today by
Chairman Smoot, of the finance COM
mittee, in charge Of the measure.
Most of the non controversial COM
mittee amendments have already
been disposed of.
The conteAt is expected to precipi-
tate the most bitter legislative ses-
sion in which party lines will be
sharply drawn. A showdown will be
demanded first on the Mellon rates,
placed in the bill by finance commit
tee Republicans in place of the Long
worth compromise adopted by the
house.
However, practically admitting the
futility Of obtaining the adoption Of
these rates, the Republican organiza-
ton leaders Unanswered today to de-
feat a practically solid Democratic
! lineup for d schedule calling for
higher surtaXes and lower normal
rates than the Mellon plan.
Chairman Smoot said. f the Mel
lon rates were rejected he would of
fer a succession of amendments, go
ing up step by step on the maXlum
surtaX rate. A schedule lower than
that prepared by the DEMOCRATS and
about the same as that adopted by
the house on surtaX rates would be
adopted, he predicted.
Other Republican leaders are not
so optimistic, while Democrats pre-
dict their plan, advanced by Sena-
tor Simmons North Carolina, ranking
Democrat on the finance committee,
calling for maXium surtaX rate of
40 per cent on incomes Of 100000
and over and 3S per cent on in
comes of 5000 900, will be adopted
with the support of Republican in
surgents.
The Mellon plan would cut the
present maXium surtaX of fifty per
cent, applicable to incomes of $780,
900 and over, to 25 per cent on $780,
900 and over.
Mr.. Smoot said if the Mellon rates
were rejected, he would offer a max
imum surtaX rate Of 80 per cent.
The program, if this is turned down,
he said, had not been fixed. If Is
were intimated however, the next
proposal would be 80 per cent
then 35 per cent, and later, if noes
sary 3715 per cent. The later is the
rate in the Longworth compromise
and this is expected by many Rep
ublicans TO be the minimum which
the senate will accept.
