BAILEY ARGUES FOR INCOME TAX

Asks Aldrich if He Regards Taft as a Socialist HAVEL STOPS THE CHEERS Texas Senator Frankly Tells Why He Would Make Proposed Provision Apply to Those In Receipt of $5,000 or More, Saying That He Would Went It to Affect Few So That It M.«. »t let Provoke Hostility. ■ n, April 27. —During the 1i .on in the senate, Senator i ...e involved in a discussion < Aldrich with regard to -uauce in the senate in IL> . >e income tax was suppo; i<u . i,e Socialist, Populist and Deiuucia.it parties. Bailey said that President Tait now favored an income tax and asked Aldrich if he considered the president a Socialist, Populist or Democrat. Aldrich replied that his statement was true at the time it was made. "If this bill, as he presented it," said Bailey, referring to the chairman of the finance committee, “coupled with an income tax, will raise too much revenue, let’s reduce the rates that we collect on the necessities of life.” Aldrich suggested that the United States Steel corporation produces only from 45 to 50 per cent of the steel output, and asked whether the senator from Texas believed the other steel corporations could make a profit if the prices were, reduced 33 1-3 per cent. Judging by Their Autos—Yes. "If 1 am permitted to judge by the | size and-equipment of their automobiles and the size and equipment of | their yachts and by other extrava- " gances they flaunt in the faces of the American consumers, 1 say yes," ref plied Bailey. “How did the senator arrive at the income of $5,000 as the proper-one to tax?" asked “instead of $4,000 or $3,000 or $2,000.” “I know what you want me to say and lam going to say it. 1 fixed upon $5,000 a year as the income to be taxed for the reason that 1 wanted it to afi feet as few people as possible, so that it might not provoke hostility, is the senator satisfied?” inquired Bailey. t “In other words," retorted Aldrich, “the senator wants to enact legislation with a class distinction in order to get It through.” Aldrich said laborers abroad received from G to 00 cents a day and from SSO to S3OO or S4OO a year, while American labor is paid about S7OO a year. His plan, he said, would be to reduce the protection that is being given this American labor over the foreign cheaper labor. ' Gavel Necessary to Restore Order. I would like, said Bailey, amid applause from the galleries, "to make it Impossible for that cheap labor to . come here at all.” • ’t'he gavel ol the vice president was | necessary to restore order, and Aldrich Interposed to say; “The senator < would prevent these laborers coming | to this country, but he would permit the product of that cheap labor to ! come.” Declaring he would give some atten- | tlon to supreme court decisions on an income tax, Bailey said: I “I do not think that any citizen or ■ senator is precluded from indulging in | just and fair criticism of any question | relating to any department of this goverument. lam willing to stand uncov- | ered in the presence of that great trli bunal, but I am not willing to be | silent. The judgment of the supreme I court governs me in any particular | case, and I submit without complaint to that Judgment, but I do not subE scribe to the doctrine that because the have spoken all other men must Ireceive their speech in silence.”

They smiled over talk indulged in several weeks ago and agreed that war between the two nations was impossible. Evans asked how the men of the mikado’s navy had so easily raised the Russian ships sunk in battle, and Ijichi explained that the task had been found easy because the vessels had been only superficially harmed by shells and had been gent to the bottom by the opening of their sea cocks by their own sailors.

HIS CHURCH HOW AGAINST SULTAN

It Appears Certain That Abdul's Rule Has Ended. ALBANIANS ARE SUBDUED Two Hundred That Remained Loyal Until Surrounded by Artillery and Infantry at Last Lower the Red Flag and Hdlst White Token of Sur render—Probable Successor a Man Who For Years and Years Practically Has Been a Prisoner. Constantinople, April 27. —The deposition of Sultan Abdul Hamid appears now to be certain, and the 101 guns saluting Mehemmed Rechad Effendi as the new ruler of the empire probably will be heard before the next Selamlik on Friday. The grounds upon which the issuance of a canonical rescript will be demanded are that the sultan’s supremacy is harmful to the church, contrary to the sacred law and unjust to the Turkish people. The program as agreed upon at the caucus, Is that a demand shall be made for the abdication of Abdul Hamid simultaneously from the highest court of the church, from the national assembly and from the military chiefs. The sultan will be offered a palace and liberal allowances. Think Church Against Abdul. The parliamentary leaders wish to discuss this program at a public sitting before they approach the Sheik-ul-Islam, for in the popular belief it is ■with this man, who lives a secluded life of a mysterious, semi-holy character, that the difficulty lies. It is believed that he has counseled with the principal Ulema and sought the opin ions of the wisest and most powerful men in the church and that their decision is against Abdul. Mehemmed Rechad Effendi, the heir apparent, has lived practically a prisoner for twenty-five years in the large palace and gardens not far from the Yildiz kiosk.

Capture 10,000 Prisoners.

General Schefket, commander of the Constitutionalists, has overawed the Albanians into surrender. This force, which was composed of 200 men, was stationed in the imperial palace. The Albanians were not Mfriigaged in the fighting Saturday, but persistently refused to lay down their arms. General Schefket sent up a strong body of Macedonians and six field pieces were placed in a prominent position above the palace. Other guns were disposed on the neighboring heights, while the troops commanded all the approaches. The red flag continued, however, to fly defiantly until late in the day when the watchers saw it dropping slowly down the flagpole, making place for the white token of surrender. It is estimated now that at least 10,000 prisoners are in .the hands of the Salonikins. Those liable to severe punishment, such as the rebellious Saloniki chasseurs, have been securely roped.

MENACE 100.000 ARMENIANS

Besieged In Deurtyl by Army of Fanatical Moslems. Alexandretta, Asiatic Turkey, April 27. —Refugees from Deurtyl bring most alarming accounts of the situation there. They affirm that 100,000 Armenians are beleaguered by 50,000 Moslems. The besieged are half starving. It is certain that there are no Americans there. If relieving forces were sent out, in opposition to the governor’s wishes, such an expedition would be equivalent to a declaration of war. The largest commands that the warships could muster would stand in great danger of being overwhelmed. The town of Hadjin, about 100 miles to the north of Alexandretta, where the residents have withstood the assaults of the fanatics for the past week, was in flames. Up to daylight today all the Americans, including five women missionaries,-were safe.

CANADA DOESN’T NEED OUR TRADE

American Merchants Told Annexation Idea Is Dead.

Detroit, April 23.—“1t is your move,” la the concise phrase in which J. A. McDonald of Toronto expressed to the delegates to the conference here on Canadian trade relations, the attitude

MYRON T. HERRICK.

of the Dominion toward the movement in this country for bettering trade relations with our northern neighbor. Incidentally Canada’s representative in the conference told the 100 delegates from many cities that all sentiment in Canada in favor of annexation with the United States is dead and buried deep “beneath the industrial prosperity and commercial confidence into which Canada has come during these last dozen years.” Canada’s protective tariff was only imposed, McDonald stated, to meet the prohibitive features of the Americap tariff. “When your McKinley tariff suddenly killed Canadian trade in important lines serious Injury was inflicted on many Canadian industries. Our people then sought markets else where. They are no longer dependent on any one market. You must teach your people that trade is a stick with two ends.” Former Governor Myron T. Herrick of Ohio, was chosen chairman of the conference. The speakers at the first session were Henry R. Towne, president of the Merchants’ association of New York; Chairman Herrick and William Judson. Towne argued for a permanent tariff commission. Herrick, while proclaiming himself a protectionist, declared that he had been for several years in favor of free lumber. “Every means for making the flow of trade and commerce easy should be encouraged,” he said, ad ding that the influence of such conferences as the present one is being felt as never before.
