nj VOTE.
House Passes the Senate's
Joint Resolution.
ALL DEMOCRATS IN ITS FAVOR
Only Fourteen Republicans Against
It President Agree, to Reduc
tion of Corporation Tax
to One Per Cent.
Washington, July 13. It Is now up
to the- legislatures of the several states
to say whether there shall be nn In
come tax amendment to the constitu
tion. By the decisive vote of 317 to 14,
more than the necessary two-thirds,
the house passed the senate Joint reso
lution providing for the submission of
the question to the states. No amend
ment having been made to the resolu
tion, it now goes to the president for
his signature.
To a tnnn the Democrats voted for
the resolution, while fourteen Repub
licans cast their votes against it as
follows:
Allen (Me.), Bnrchfeld, Dalzell, Mc
Creary and Wheeler (Pa.). Fordnoy
(Mich.), Gardner, MeCall and Weeks
(Mass.), Hill and Henry (Conn.), 01
cott and Southwlck (N. V.), Calder
head (Kan.).
Chairman Payne of the committee
on ways and means voiced the senti
ment that such a tax would make "a
nation of liars," although he said it
was well that such power should be
given congress, especially In times of
war.
The burden of the Democratic
speeches was that it was simply a
case of stealing Democratic thunder,
although some of the remarks on that
side Incidentally touched upon the tar
iff and the corporation tax, with no
little amount of castlgallon of tlu Re
publicans for falling, as was alleged,
to keep party pledges.
Mr. Henry (Tex.) vainly sought to
offer an amendment providing for the
submission of the quest Ion through
'"constitutional conventions, but the
speaker ruled that under the agree
ment for a vote no amendment was in
order. From that decision Mr. Henry
appealed and succeeded In forcing a
roll call.
The vole resulted yeas isr, nays
143, which had the effect of sustalnl
the speaker. Vndaunted, Mr. Henry
moved to recommit the resolution with
instructions, but was debarred from
recognition because he was In favor
of the resolution. Mr. Gardner (Mass.)
made the point, but It was overwhelm
ingly voted down.
At a conference with the president
at the Whlto House it was definitely
decided that the rate to be levied un
der the new corporation tax shall bo
reduced from 2 per cent to 1 per cent
and that in redrafting the measure
now In conference with the tariff bill,
to meet various objections that have
been raised, duo consideration shall be
' given to the demands of the mutual
Hfo insurance companies whose in
comes would' bo seriously affected by
the tax in Its original form.
The president is in dally consultation
with the tariff conferees. Ho told sev
eral of his callers that he is ilndlng
, the conferees conciliatory and that he
Is hopeful that a satisfactory measure
will be presented to him for his sig
nature. The conference report should
be available, according to the presi
dent's information, by the end of next
week.

put back to this port, where she ar
rived with part of the crew of tho
Cowle.
The Scott, a new bout on her maiden
trip to the head of the lakes, had Just
passed the light at Whltellsh Point
and straightened out her course up the
lake when suddenly the John B. Cowlo
loomed up through the fog broadside
on to the Scott and only a few feet
away. The Cowle had 8,000 tons of
i Iron ore in tho hold.
The ships were so close that it was
impossible to avoid a collision, and the
Scott crashed into the side of the
heavily laden Cowle. For fifteen feet
the bow of the Scott penetrated the
side of the Cowlo. Tons of water
rushed Into the great opening.
Immediately after tho collision a
line was thrown from the deck' of tho
Scott to the forward deck of the Cowle
and three members of the crew es
caped to the deck of tho Scott by this
means.
The rest of the crew who were
saved jumped from the sinking steam
er Into the lake, some without life pre
servers, and were picked up by the
Scott and the steamer Goodyear.

of the Cowlc's presence wns when the
great huU loomed up through the fog, !
so close ft the bow of his ship that it
was impossible to prevent the two
steamers coming together.
The John B. Cowle was 41," feet long,

White Plains, N. V July 13. A

was decided upon at tho continuation

With all of the testimony so far In

District Attorney Turbine eliminated,
I Thaw's chances for release appear

' Ing to concede Thaw's right to a full I
tand impartial examination. I
He suggested that counsel for Thaw
and counsel for the people agree ro a
commission of three expert alienists

both parties to the suit without rcser-
