court or special session, sitting as a
District Court of the United States,
and that history covers a period of
substantially 100 years. We are now
in this proceeding asked to hold that
no crimes against the United States
such as are charged against the Pc
proceedings before Criminal Division 2
could be tried elsewhere than in a
special term sitting as a District Court
of the United States.
Against History in ID. c.
ITO do this would be to require that
the court now ignore what has been
the course Of criminal judicial proceed
ings of the character in question dur
ing the whole history of the District
of Columbia. Second it would require
us to hold that no effect is to be given
to Section 83 of the code, notwithstand-
ing the express language of that pro-
vision that the trial of crimes and
misdemeanors committed in the Dis
trict shall take place in the special
term Of the court sitting as Criminal
Court"
The court overruled another point
contended for by Wampler, holding
that the bill of particulars asked by the
defendants had never been questioned
by them as an amendment of the in
dictment. Another point that one of
the jurors was an alien had been aban-
doned at the hearing, the court said.
In conclusion Justice Siddons point
ed out that the matter of release on
bail after conviction is entirely within
the discretion of the justice presiding
and while frequently such persons have
been allowed to continue at liberty
there has lately been a tightening OF
the matter and the stricter rule is
usually adopted now.

outstanding, held by approximately
5000 purchasers. Many of these are

The receivers for the bankrupt mort

braska asked for information on the
subject, saying he understood Mr.
Cramton had been selected to be a
member OF the commission The Ne
braska Senator said he thought the
commission when originally set up was
to serve without pay.
Chairman Jones of the Appropriations
Committee called attention to a law
passed some time ago authorizing the
Bicentennial Commission to employ an
executive secretary and historian and
such other assistants as may be
necessary.
Events Are Reviewed.
S nator Fess then took the floor to
explain that Mr.. Cramton had not been
a candidate for the existing vacancy as
associate director for the celebration,
and that no decision has been reached.
Senator F;SS explained that when the
Executive Committee was considering
whom to appoint to the vacancy, the
name of Mr. Cramton was suggested by
some of the member of the House. The
Ohio Senator said he asked the Presi-
dent what he thought of the suggestion,
and that the President stat he saw no
particular objection to it. Senator Tess
emphasized, however, that the Presi-
dent does not make this appointment.
Senator FesS said he asked Mr.. Cram
ton whether he would consider the mat
ter and that Mr.. Cramton told him
he could not say at that time.
Friction on Pay Feared.
Senator Barley, Democrat, of Ken
lucky said he had no prejudice against
Mr.. Cramton or any individual but
wondered whether it would be good
policy to appoint an associate director
on a salary basis when others have
served in a similar capacity without
pay. Senator Barley asked whether
it might not lead to friction
Senator Tess said he thought his COL
leagues would agree with him that the
task has reached dimensions where
some one should be on the job all the
time. Senator Fess said he would not
feel like continuing the responsibility
as chairman of the Executive Committee
unless there was some one in active
charge Of the work.
Senator Barley then inquired
whsther there is constitutional pro-
vision that would prevent a member of
Congress from accepting the position
created during his continuance in Office.
Senator Norris said that technically
the constitutional provision would not
apply in this case, but indicated he re-
garded 1t as a bad practice to select
members of Congress for public Office
shortly after their terms expire. Sem
ator Norris said he hoped he would not
adding that he holds no feeling against
Mr.. Cramton. Senator Norris said he
respected him greatly, but does not be-
lieve this step should be taken.

I'VE MEN APPEAR
AT CANNON HEARING
Richmond Detective, Compan-

Two Others at Trial.

Bishop Cannon to interpose objections
to various items as they came up.
1t had been forecast that Bishop
Cannon's only role in the hearing would
be to make statement, and only that.
If this privilege was accorded by those
in charge of the case.
As it turned out, however. Bishop
Cannon was said to have been allowed
free rein, and the general understand
ing was that this privilege was 70 be
further extended today and the az

Just how much latitude would be

the grave nature of the charges, and
their possible cutcome-Suspension of
Bishop Cannon until 1884, when he
would be tried at the General Con-
ference of the church-entitled him to
the fullest. hearing.
Several Affidavits Filed.
The Cannon charges have never been
made public. There we're several az
fidavits submitted yesterday, including
one of more than 20 typewriter pages
to which most Importance reputedly is
attached. A bulky mass of newspaper
clippings and sections from the Cen
gressional Record also went before the
jury
In proceedings on Capitol Hill. where
Bishop Cannon long has been a storm
center, his political activities and
stock market dealings have been the
subject of extended discussion. 1t was
said emphatically yesterday, though, that
nothing political enters into the pres
ent investigation.
Due to the speed with which the
hearing proceeded yesterday, it was
thought in informed circles that to-
morrow evening would see the end.
Probably the determining factor will
be Bishop Cannons health. Suffering
from arthTitis, which necessitates the
use of clutches, Bishop Cannon is a
patient at Sibley Hospital, and only
leaves his room there to attend the
hearing.
1t was said yesterday by a son, David
Cannon, who, with another brother,
Prof. James Cannon, 3rd, of Duke Uni
yersity, are with their father, that
Bishop Cannon went to the hearing
over the protests of his physicians.
Those behind the investigation, it was
said, do not want unduly to try his
strength.
In convoking the session yesterday,
the names of the IL elders considering
the charges we're withheld.
Ten of the dozen ministers were
identified, however, as:
DR.. S. A. Barcum, Texas; Drs w
L. Duren and A. NJ. Hughlett, Georgia;

INCOME TAX FACTS.
No. 3.

No. 5.
Returns are required of every
single person whose net income
for 1880 was ST 500 or more, every
married person living with hus-
band or wife whose net income
was $500 or more, and every
person, single or married, whose
gross income was $4,000 or more,
regardless of net income. Di-
vorced and married persons sep
arated by mutual consent are
claSSed as single persons. The
personal exemptions are $1,000
for single persons and $4,000 for
married persons living together.
Husband and wife living to-
gether may each make a separate
return of the income of each, or
their income may be included in
a single joint return. If separate
returns are filed, they cannot re-
port income which belongs to the
other, but must report only the
income which actually belongs to
each. (This rule applies only to
taxpayers residing in States other
than where community property
laws are in force) If a joint re-
turn is filed. such return is treat
ed as the return of a taxable unit
and the income disclosed is sub
ject to both the normal tax and
surtax. Where separate returns
are fled the exemption of $500
may be taken by either spouse or
divided between them, the hus-
band, for example, claiming
$4,000 and the wife, $500 How
ever, where the income of one
spouse is in excess of $4,000. it is
to their advantage if such spouse
claims the total personal eXemp-
ton, the reason being the differ
ence in the normal tax rates,
which are IL per cent on the
first $4,000, 3 per cent on the
next $4,000 and per cent on the
balance. The case of a husband
