TAFTS HAND TO BE FELT PRESIDENT WILL SUPERVISE DRAFTING OF INCOME TAX BILL. Conference to Be Held at the White House Today to Put on the Finishing Touches. Washings of, June 21. President Ta'ft will personally supervise puttingthe finishing touches upon the proposed amendment to the tariff b 11 providing for the imposition of a two per cent tax .pon the net earnings of corporations. Th!s will be done tonvarrow night at a con-fernve at the White House. There will be present Attorney General Wicker-ham and Senator Root, who are drafting the amendment. Secretary of State Knox and Senators Aldrich, Burrows, Penirose, Hale, CuIIbm, Lodge, McCumber, Smoot and Flint, constituting the Republican membeship of the finance committee. The draft prepared by Messrs. Wickersham and Root will be disc"ussed' at ihe con fere nee, -Such changes as are agreed upon will be made by the attorney geneTal on Wednesday aud it Is expected the perfected amendments will be ready tor int rod net ion in the senate on Thursday. The attorney generals and Mr. Roo; had a iong: sesiin at thcc-apitol today and reache'd an agreement on practically every feature of the corporation tax. The position which is giving tbem ,the greatest trouble relates to the government canitrol of coporatiorts necessary to carry the law into successful operation,. There has b'ten nolittfo opposition to subjecting thte corporations' to the amount of (publicity that will be required for ühe enforcement of the law and to prevent manipulation od stocks and bonds for tae purposes of evasion Member. oi the finance committee as well as 'Mr. Root ami 'Mr. Wickershfctm agree? with President TaTt that such publicity must foe given and that without it the corporation tax law, would be a failure. 'This- feature it was aid today, certainly will be incorporated in the amendment. The authors of the -draft, however, are experiencing difficulty in finding an effective way -of reaching the situation. Amon.th details sl the bill determined today are that the ax to be levied will -be at the rate of two per cent, and that it wilf be collected from all corporations. All banks will come within; the range of the tax bill and deductions will be allowed national banks to the amoumt of taxes paid upon their circulation. An important provisions to be included in the b?Il is a definition df net earnings. This will follow as -nearly as possible the definition of earnings contained in it'h-e interstate commerce act relating to rai?road corporation's. A Farccj on Justice. For two, years the courts of South Dakota liiive been struggling- with the case of Mrs. Emma Kaufmann. . the wife of a wealthy bn wer at Sioux Falls. She was accus-ud of causing the death of a 16-year-old servant girl fresh -from Germany. The evidence Snowed that she had most brutally, even fiendishly, maltreated the girl, who had lieJ from he injuries- inflicted. Yet, on tfu: first trial, the jury disagreed; on the second trial a verdict "of manslaughter in the second degree -wfas rendered, but this was set aside on technicalities, and n the third trial a convicton for assault and -battery was obtained, followed by a fine of $100, -which was immediately paid. It is pretty , safe to asisaime that tShe money of Mr. Kaufmann akle-d tin (mitigating the I'unishment for one of the most dastardly and cruel outrage-si that imagination can conceive. A fine of $100 is a jird-ieHal farce. Had this been the outcome of the first suit while the crime was fresh in the -minds of the people, its- -tendency would have been to provoke disorderly protest, if not mob violence. It is such miscarriages of justice that bring courts into disrepute. Grafters May Escape. Murrcie, Ind., June 22. A severe blow at the (prosecution of offenders in the so-called office graft cases has been -dealt byf Judge Paulus, of the Grant county circuit : court; ' sitting- a i special jud'ge in the Delaware county circuit court, when he quashed the indictment charging malfeasance in office that has been returned against -Robert M. -Monroe, former auditor and prosecuting attorney of Delaware county, and againfet Thomas- Starr, former 'sheriff. Judge Paulus he!d thlat the staute of limitation applies to the crimes) in public office alleged to have been committed by these men and that they are exempt from prosecution. However, Judge Paulus recommended that the prosecuting attorney make his: exception to the ruling and carry the matter to the supreme court of t'ie state for final determination, as there was, n the opinion of the court room for conflict of 'opinion. "Dry" Leader Assaulted. iThos.. Dwyer paid a fine of $5 an-d cosfts- Saturday ifor assaulting Thomas OToole, president of the Howand County Anti-SaSoon League, at Kokortio. Dwyer was recentlty -put out of business by the1 local option election, and it is said the assault was the result; of bitterness over thte election.

10 KILLED: 41 INJURED

Cars Loaded with Crowd Which Attended

Auto Races at Crown Point Wreck Occurred Near Chesterton.

Chesterton, Ind., June 20. -As a result of the -wieck on the Chicago, Lake Shore and South Berrd Railway near here Saturday night, in whxh ten persons- were killed and forty others frightfully injured, the people of Indiana have a fair chance of witnessing the Criminal prosecution of the officials and operating officers of the railroad company. Much hostile talk against the railroad company has (been heard, and there seems to foe a popular demand that the "higher-ups" of the railroad company be brought to account. The fatal collision near Chesterton, while plunging -the " families of many f thoe who were returning from the automobile races ht Crown Point, into grief, has aroused others to an attitude of resentment. The wreck is viewed as- the culmination of a year of bad railway management a year that has been marked by numerous collisions ami wrecks in which a number of persons have been killed or injured. Prosecutor Ready to Act. . District Attorney Charles- R. Burkhart of Porter county, declared today that he intended to use the full pow?r of his office in an- effort to ascertain the extent of the criminal liability of the ofheers of the railroad and asserted that ii he cou'ld find any legal justification for such a course he would convene -the grand jury of Porter county "and ask .that the higher officials of the road Ibe indicted. - The inquest will -be begun at 2 o'clock tomorrow, and Coroner J, C. Carson stated that the investigation win foe thorough. No official of the road, no matter how high his- position said the coroner, would be shielded or whitewashed if the evidence tended to show any degree of guilt. "There seems to be no excuse for this- -frightful loss of human life," aid District Attorney Burkhart. "Wrecks and collisions on this road have been altogether too numerous to be consistent with good management and I intend to learn just wheTe the responsibilty lies-. We are told that a motorman, disobeyed orders. The same plea is made in every railroad wreck, and -while it may be true enough, the .people have the right to know if the higheT officials of the road are not bfameable because of the negligent system of 'operation that they; permit on their lines. Corner Carson is just as eager to extern! the scope of the inquiry as District Attorney .Burkhart, but he is not so sanguine of the probability that the county officials will be able to secure evidence that would warrant a criminal prosecution. "I have visited the 'scene of the wreck and have interviewed a number of witnesses," said the coroner, "and it appears at the outset that the crew o( the west-bound train was responsible for the fatal coflhion. I am told that they were ordered to wait on a siding for the east-bound train, and ignored their orders.". HU. WaMace, general manager of the Chicago, Lake Shore and South Bend Railroad, on- whose line the two big electric cars collided head-on, differs -from Coroner Carson in his version of the accident. According to Mr. Wall lace, the wreck was due to the disobedience of orders by 'Motorman George -A. Reed of the eastbound car;vho was killed. Crowd Throngs Morgue. In preparation for the inquest Coroner Carson visited the morgue of J. B. Dundbefrg early fn the morning, and viewed the ten terribly mangled bodies of the men who were killed in the wreck. The morgue was thronged with curious men and women throughout the day. One -by one the foodies prepared by the undertaker were laid in plain wooden boxes, and then shipped away on trains to the towns in which the victims had lived. The relatives df some of the victims traveled many miles to cl'aim the remains-, and the scenes at the morgue, as the sorrowing men and women looked for the first time upon the crusJied and broken bodies, moved the crowd of sight-seers to tears. Nearly every trayi w hit hi moved out of Chesterton during the day carried one or more bodies artd the same trains were met at other Indiana towns .by relatives and friends of the dead men. List of Dead. A list of the dead is as follows: Red, George A., motorman, Michigan City, Ind. formerly of Villa Grove, III. MerrimajT, -Ray F., South Bend, Ind Johnson, Charles, Porter, Ind. Gilbertson, Edward, Porter, Ind. Barber, A., 'Mis'liawaka, Ind. Moore, F. T.f residence unknown. Leon, William, secretary of the Dowagiac iMotot Works, Dowagiac, Mich. Lake, F. A., ipresident Dowagiac Motor Works, Dowagiac. 'Midi. Hut son, H. 11., Niks Mich. - Svvanton, Charles-, Porter, Ind. Forty-one -were inured, many seriously, and some fatally. Running at High Speed. The cast bound car, at the time of the ajecident, running as train No. 59 it is stated, -was ga:irg at the Tate of 50 miles- an hour, to make up lost time. When the crash occurred, the east-bound car was- telescoped and almost entirely wrecked. In this- train were all of the "killed and most of the injured, -passengers on train No. 5S westbound, escaping' -with slight bruises and scratches. The scene of the wreck, immediately after the crash, was described by eyewitnesses as being sickening" in

G

-the extreme. The two cars were welded together intc -cne mass of debris in -which lay the ten dead and dy ing and the two score injured. The cries- and appeals for help were hor rifying and caused a scene of utter confusion for many minutes-. Soon, however, the cool-headed among the passengers brotfgbt order out of cha os, -while some arranged. . to rouvert the home of E.'R. "B'orfg, nearqy, into a temporary hospital and morgue David Crawford a. chauffer of South Bend, related a story of the accident "There were about fifty on our car," aid Crawford. "iMost of us got on at Hammond, having been at the auto races at Crown Point. Tired out by tue long day of excitement, many of the pas-sengers were asleep. "About D o'clock 'we were running between fifty and sixty miles an hour, there was a terrific crash, smashing of timbers and creaking of steel. Then suddenly everything was dark and death-like stillness followed. "But it was for a second only. Im mediately afterward- the stillness was broken foy the cries of the injured and dying. Shrieks and groans hor rified the passengers who had escap ed. The cars telescoped each other.'' URGES MANUFACTURERS. Asks Them to Go to Washington to Help Keep Schedule Up to a Protection Point.

WHAT TARIFF CONFEREES WILL DO

SENATE AND HOUSE EACH SELECT MEN TO COMPRO MISE. Past Experience Has been That the Rates do not Dwindle Much in the Process. Washington- Tune 22. "The tariff bill will be made in conference." That is- -what you read numerous times a week. But if you're that great figure ot literature known a "he averace man" you don't quite know what the conference is or what it can do or can not do. The conference is the arrange ment under which the two houses o congress work out and setfle, if pos sible, their differences of opinion on acts of legislation. A tariff bill, for instance, must originate Sn the house. When it has been adopted there it is sent to the senate, Which at once refers- it to the committee on finance. 1 his committee then reports 'the bill to the senate with amendments-. Commonly the house bill is torn to pieces and the pieces -shoved into the furnace by die finance committee, so that the meas ure reported lis virtually a new bill. Usually Well Disciplined. The senate then considers the bil by paragraphs, and from time to time the finance committee may submit amendments, which are usually adopt edprovided, of course, the majority is as well disciplined as it is in Vhe present senate and other senators may submit -changes which will foe at once thrown into the waste bas-ket. Finally the bil! gets through the enate. The result is that the house .as passed one bill and the senate an other, ft now becomes the duty of :he two houses to compromise their differences. They do this by the appointment of conference committees, referred to as "conferees" or mor? prope rly . under a house ruling as "managers." The speaker appoints the managers for the house, the vrce ores ident for (the senate, though in both instances the presiding officer es expected to akreept the advice of the chairman of the committee in charge of the forll as to who the managers Jul 11 be. Can't Change Accepted Paraeraohs. The house managers are headed by the chairman of the -ways and mean committee, the senate managers by :he chairman of the finance commit rce. The number of conferees is not ixed. The Din-gley bill was handled y eight managers frorh each house five of them republicans and three f them Democrats. These managers jet together and go over the pjnus of disagreement. They have no,ai hority to consider paragraphs of a Mil which have been accepted by both houses. So strictly is. this rule observd that when Senator A'llijtai moved the senate, to invite the -house to a conference on tlc Dingley bill, he was obliged to ask unanimous con sent to authorize -the managers to iraighten 'out the numbering, of the paragraphs. Without that consent not v'ven the number of a paragraph that iad been agreed to foy both houses could have been changed. Conferees Report not Altered. On the disputed paragraphs the managers recommend that the bou?e or the senate precede or else :hev suggested a compromise paragraph to take the place of those discarded. In the imlpendKng conference , for in stance, the house' managers may stand out toe the increased hosie -v d.;t e Ahich the senate has propped to rc duce. If Senator Pcnros?, as one of the scrJate managers, should purs jade his repufoliea i colleagues of :hc sen aie board' that it was useless to stand out against the house, the hou-c rate: would then stand in thi bill a report ed from the conferees. -When a bill is reported from con ferencc it must be accepted or reject rd without change. It cannot be modi ed. Should it be rejected, another conference -might be ordered Thhouse gives its. nu-iagcrs instruction if it soMesires, as to what points t insist upon. The sera?. rsn't acc.n toi-K-d to instruc'iu.j ;he conferees. The senate adopted S72 amend ments to the Dingley bi-I. About four fifths of these were agreed to in tin conference, so that the bill, as i; pass ed finally, established hih.-r du! e than either the house or the sen i Mil. Not Always Conwir.i'se-5. te A conference is (supposed to o m promise disputed points. The ccinm mise duty is expected to be bet wee the limits set foy the liouse and t is senbte. If -the house, for instant s-hould, fix a duty on borax of tw cents a pound, and the senate shon Id ch.mf it to live cents a nound th coniferees would be expected to bring in a iuty between two and five cenl They are always scrupulous a-bout d ts lo ing tins'., however, and they have be ll known to raise rates above the hi si limit of -both bills, as it, for instance in the case' just onsidercd they should report a duty of ten cents a pound. The tendency of. otheV ta-.fc meas ures has been to trade one increa for another, so thaCJAe effee h e been revision upward. Presiden: Taft as hopes to reverse this process in tilt conlerence on the Payne bill -md induce tlhe managers to accept t reductions oi" both bills. t.. he Walkerton Erased from "Dry" Walkeröon, the heretofore dry läge f St. J'os-eph county, was List 'ttweKl .JUondav ihv- ivhn t after a hard fought battle.
