SENATE SLAYS
 TAX BILL THEN
 RESTORES LIFE
Notice of Reconsideration Saves Day for Hess
 General Sales Tax

The Senate this morning applied the axe to Senator Hesss bill for general sales tax system, voting to indefinitely postpone further consideration of it, then gave it renewed life at least temporarily when Senator Dimond, who had voted for postponement, gave no- tice that on Monday next he would move for a reconsideration of the vote
 The motion to indefinitely post pone was carried six to one, MT. Hess opposing. The action was taken after the bill had been re- ported in by the Finance Commit tee recommending it do not pass.
 Probably Won't Pass
 Members discussing the matter unofficially said there was little likelihood of favorable action being taken on the bill, but that it prob ably will be laid on the table until later in the session at which time a more definite idea of receipts and expenditures will be had
 This was one of pair of tax bills sponsored by MT. Hess. The other, a bill to put one-cent tax on gasoline and fuel oils of all kinds, is still in committee. It IS expected to reach the floor of the Senate early next week. Some consideration has been given the subject by the Committee and by other Senators but none of them have been inclined to make any definite comments upon it.
 Pass Few Measures
 The Senate this morning passed three House measures, two memor- ials and one resolution. McCutch- cons memorial urging Congress to make land grants to Alaska ex- service persons, and Fosters asking for a Coast Guard Cutter to be stationed in western waters, were passed A resolution urging con- tractors on public works in Alaska be required to give preference to Alaska labor was passed.

BOGOTA, Colombia, April H. Is a citizen of the United States of America an American, a Yankee, North American, a United Stateser. Saxon American or "gringo"?
 It's delicate question through out south America, depending largely on how friendly the gen. eral attitude of any particular nation is toward the United States.
 For after all Colombians, Argen- tineans and Chileans are inhabi- tants of America, and are just as much entitled to be calle d Americans" as are inhabitants of the United States.
 In Colombia, which is perhaps as friendly to the United States as any South American nation, any of the foregoing appellations is likely to be heard with perfectly friendly intentions Any, that is. except "gringo" which is in the nature of dirty crack and is

WASHINGTON, D. C., April H. A nationwide educational cam paign fortified by good example in the home" is named by an un- official Law Enforcement Commis- sion of g women as the chief recommendation for improving the present Prohibition situation.

ROYAL COUPLE
 FROM ORIENT
 VISIT IN J. 5,
Prince of Japan with l9- Year-Old Bride Given
 Noisy NY. Welcome

NEW YORK, April 1l.-Prince Takamatsu and Princess Kikuko of Japan were given a typic al noisy New York reception on their arrival here yesterday which was marred by a short lived Commun- ist demonstration. Police quickly quelled the outburst of the Red demonstrators.
 The younger brother of the Mi kado and his 19-year- bride will go to Washington next "Wednesday where they will be guests of Pres ident Hoover and Mrs Hoover and will be given a state dinner at the White House. The honeymooners will remain six weeks in this country and Can- ada. After going to Washington they will visit Boston, Chicago, and several other middle western and Pacific Coast cities.
 The 26-year -old prince, second in line of succession to the mikado's throne, and his 19-year-old bride, have smashed precedents of more than 2,000 years in their honey | moon around the world. When they appear in public in their own country the princess 1 keeps three paces behind her husband conforming to Oriental l custom.
 Yet friends who saw them during their long voyage to Europe de- cided that this was very modern marriage.
 | Princess Kikuko showed little or no awe of her lord and master, romped with him, tousled his hair, led him about, and in general, ap- parently had pretty much of her own way.
 She is considered one of the most beautiful women of her land. 1 Prince Takamatsu is the Imperial family's representative in the navy in which he holds the compara- lively humble rank of lieutenant.
 He also has found time, how ever, for sports, and studies in so- ciology and economies. He plays tennis and golf.

GRADUATED TAX
 FOR TRAP FISH
 REACHES HOUSE
Provides for Reduced Li- cense and Substantial
 Raise in Fish Rate

Nine new bills, including one proposing material changes in the present fish trap schedule in the general taxation law, were intro duced in the House this morning. That branch passed one House bill, considered three others and a memorial in second reading, and seven Senate measures in second reading, continuing two of them in status for Monday.
 It passed a measure directing the Attorney General to study and recommend to the next Legislature some sort of an income tax sched- uIe.
 Raise in Trap Tax
 Among the measures introduced, Mir. Donnelly brought in one on fish traps. The present schedule places a tax of $50 on hand driven or stake traps where located on tidelands, and on pile driven or floating traps $200, with an added $2 per thousand fish in excess of 100000 taken in any one trap.
 The proposed amendment would substitute for this base tax of $100 for all traps, including so- called dummies, and an additional tax of g per thousanad fish caught over 25000 to 100000; $4 over 100000 fish up to 15O,000; $6 for l50,00 to 100000; and $8 for all over 100000. The amendment would not become effective, if passed, until January l, 1892.

 Protection of persons other than owners, in performing annual as- sessment work on unpatented min ing claims is the object of meas ure by MT. Boyle which authorized such work to be done by any per son who is in possession thereof

WARSAW, April II. Polish peasants have found a silver lin- ing in the cloud of diversity which has shadowed farms throughout the world Prices of eggs, poultry, vegetables, butter and milk aEa so low that many peasants do not find it worth while to take their products to city markets. They prefer to eat them.
 AS a result Polish peasants who for centuries have lived on potatoes and rye bread, selling all other products, now sit down to plates of chicken, vegetables, butter and eggs.

Hard Times Bring Menus of
 Luxury to Farmers in Poland

Health conditions on Polish farms have improved materially, especial ly among the children, and doc tors say the death rate is the lowest in the history of the coun- try.
 City relatives of the farmers also are finding the uses of diversity sweet. The rush from the farms crowded the urban centers and un- employment has left 360,0o0 with cut jobs.
 But an appeal to the folks back home in the country brings gifts of palatable food, and individual suffering has been comparatively small.

OFFICE, INDIAN
 AFFAIRS, HAS
 BEEN CHANGED
Complete Reor ganization Perfected After Over
 Years s Study
Especial Correspondent


 WASHINGTON, D. C-Complete reorganization of the Office of h. dian Affairs has been put into ef- feet. The plan for reorganization, which has just been approved by pr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of the Interior, is the result of more than a years study by Charles J. Rhoads, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and J. Henry Scattergood Assistant Commission CT.
 Five field divisions of Health, Education, Agricultural Extension and Industry, Forestry and Irri- gation have been organized with a technical or professional directo.' at the head of each division. This new staff of experts now has di- rect executive and administrative powers over the respective field services. These divisions are group. ed under two Assistants to the Commissioner whose spheres are defined as Human Relatans' and Property"
 Old Was Cumbersome
 The old organization, basically unchanged for over 50 years and operated largely along purely cleri- cal lines, was cumbersome. Division heads lacked the necessary exe- cutive powers and, with the excep- ton of those of Health and For estry, none had technically trained man in authority. The standards of qualifications for the administrative offices, directors and assistant directors, have now been raised, and salaries have been made more attractive
 Both MT. Rhoads and MT. Scat tergood consider that the new plan will work out to the best advan- tage in the administration of h. dian Affairs. They hope it will make for a simplification in the management of the complicated affairs of the Indian Service and will make the Office much more
