The states of Wyoming and Dela ware rushed to the fore and made the provision for levying an income tax part of the constitution of the Uni.ed States by ratitying the amendment submitted to the states by congress. Thirty-five states previously had taken similar action. As to whether Delaware or Wyoming will be accord- ed the honor of being the state com- pleting the three-fourths necessary to made the amendment part of the con stitution probably will depend upon a technical question of time. News of Wyoming's action was the first to reach Washington. The action in Wyoming was taken in both houses of the legislature under a suspension of the rules. Jersey and New Mexico, both of which were expected to ratify the amend: ment, were beaten out in the race to be the state to decide the question that has been agitated in various forms for many years, This is the sixteenth change in the constitution and the first since the re- construction days following the Civil | War. Congress now will enact a law to levy the tax, and it probably will be- come effective in the extraordinary session to be called by President-elect Wilson in March. The tax itself, its provisions and its limitations are zil left to congress. 3 The new law probably will super sede the corpoartion tax and provide for a tax on all incomes above $5000, although there has heen some senti- ment in favor of making the limit as taken u ucted by Charles D. West and | oy as $4000. Congressional leaders | who have been preparing for the fina! | ratification by the states.gstimate an | income tax would bring in about $100.- | 000,000 a year. Now that the tax is permitted by the constitution, the proposed excise tax, framed by the Democratic leaders ‘n by the representatives of a bondholders’ | 1912 to meet the supreme court's de-| cision, which held a former income | tax law unconstitutional, will be dro)-| | ped, and some of its provisions may | photographers to surround him as he be included in the new law. As there are forty-eight states in the Union, ratification of thirty-six, or three-fourths of the whole number, acting through their legislatures, is necessary to change the constitution. The thirty-five states acting before Ala bama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, | Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, In- diana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Missis- sippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wis- consin and West Virginia. Four states — Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Utah— rejected the amendment. The sixteenth amendment, as it will be known, reads as follows: “Article XVI—The congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source deriv: ed, without apportionment among tac states, and without regard to any cen- sus or enumeration.” This change in the fundamental law marks a new epoch in the American tax system. All previous efforts for a tax of this kind have been without ex- plicit authority of a constitutional pro vision. The change also marks a broad development of the economic and fis. cal system of the United States, per mitting incomes to be a basis for tax- ation similar to the systems now in force in Great Britain, Austria, Swit zerland, Spain and various other coun tries. Bomb Slayer Tells of Murders. John Paul Farrell, a janitor in New York city, has confessed that he sent to Bernard Herrera last Sunday the bomb which resulted in the death of Mrs. Herrera and serious injury to Herrera and to Miss Fughtman, a boarder. : Then Farrell astonished the police by calmly reciting that he sent tho bomb which killed Mrs. Helen Taylor a year ago, adding that Mrs. Taylor was his daughter. Next Farrell solved the mystery surrounding the sending of a bomb last year to Judge Otto Ro. salsky. Finally he explained the death of “Kid” Walker, slain in 1887. He slew Mrsfi Taylor, he said, be cause she was his daughter and had gone wrong. “Kid” Walker was killed, he declared, by a man named Le- strange because Walker had causad Mrs. Taylor's downfall, The attempt on Judge Rosalsky's life, he added, was made because tne judge had sentenced a criminal, un- named, to twenty years’ imprisonment. The bomb was sent to the judge by & man who was known to Farrell only as “Tony.” Herrera's life was sought, Farrell said, because Herrera had said that he would discharge him from his job as janitor. Farrell was employed at the apartment house where Herrera is su- perintendent. Before the astonished detectives, the maker of deadly bombs constructed 2 dummy infernal machine, explained how he made it, what he put into ii how it operated ana what the damage would be to the person who should open it. Tae Taylor and Rosalsky bosbe: he said, were entrusted to the Finds Mother Dying In Burning Home. Thus New enered the room of his aged mother, Mrs. Bridget Curran, eighty-four years old, where the flames were burning fiercely. The fire chief stumbled over some- thing on the floor and, reaching down, picked up the terribly burned body of his mother. He carried the woman into a neighboring house, where she died soon afterward. The aged woman's daughter, Miss Mary Curran, who attempted to save her mother, sustained fatal burns, while a son, Michael, was terribly in- jured by the flames. The fire had its origin in an open coal grate. It is supposed that Mrs, Curran rose in the night and approach ed the mantel, her nightrobe becoming ignited at the grate. Her screams brought her daughter from the second floor, and in the fight with the flames Miss Curran was burned over the greater part of her body. Castro Released From Ellis Island. | Cipriano Castro, former president of Venezuela, walked the streets of New York, temporarily a free man, under a writ of habeas orpus issued by Judge Holt in the 1ederal court. A surety company gave $500 bail for the general. The case was brought be- fore Judge Holt as the result of the refusal of the department of commerce "and labor to admit Castro to this coun- 1 try. His lawyers pointed out that Castro | had already been held at Ellis Islund for several weeks, “in a manner suffl- , clently outrageous to satisfy the vin- | dictiveness of any one,” and asked | that he be admitted to bail imme- | diately. | United States District Attorney Wise ' opposed the application for bail. “It seems to me,’ sald the court, “that his is a case for bail.” Mr. Wise argued that granting liber- | ty to Castro, even temporarily, at this time would defeat the purpose of the | department of commerce in the steps it has already taken. The court, how- | ever, sustained the application and , fixed next Friday for hearing argu | ments. Followed by a curious crowd, Castro went to a hotel. He was all smiles and beaming with happiness as he invited | posed. Before the habeas corpus pro- | cedings the Venezuelan issued a state- ment bitterly attacking the authorities | at Washington for excluding him. Landslides Menace Panama Canal. Further movements of the slides in | the banks of the Culebra cut, Panama | canal, was reported to the Isthmian | canal commission in Washington. | Material to the amount of 1,000,000 i cubic yards has been or will be thrown | into the cut as a result of this latest | activity of the slides. | Between 300,000 and 400,000 cubic | yards of earth moved into the cut at | Curachaca, covering five railroad i tracks in the cut at that point, leav- ! ing only one of the tracks open. i Another slide occurred just south of Gold Hill, and it is expected that 500, 000 cubic yards of earth and rock will have been precipitated into the cut be- fore the slide is completed. The latest slide at Curachaca has also weakened the bank at Purple Hill, and it is ex- pectad that there will be further slid- ing at that point in the near future. Married Eight Years and Never Kissed Mrs. Theresa E. Deems appeared in court in Baltimore, Md., against her busband, George W. Deems, for non- support. She gave out an opinion in open court that wives should never kiss their husbands. “Haven't you ever kissed your hus- band?” asked State's Attorney Broen- ing. “I have never been kissed,” she said. “My father and mother never kissed me. In my eight years of married life I have never been kissed by my hus- band, nor have I kissed him. I have never kissed my seven-year-old boy. I don’t believe in it. I would not kiss my baby, whom I love more than my own life.” Red Caps For Hunters.
