The majority today agalntt the Smoot amendment to the tax rcvi km bill preoir(f a buiuct aalct lax of one-half of I per cent wn even larger than wai that lait night againit the Smoot I per cent manu facture' aalca tax. The vote to day wai 4o to 25 ai compared to A3 to 25 last night. - Ai was the cant with the manufac turer! tax, the democrats voted solidly against the business tax. They were joined by 22 republicans, three of whom Fernald of Maine. Good ing of Idaho, and Keyes of New Hampshire voted for the manufac turers' tax. ' Six republicans who did not vote last night brandegee, Connecticut; Calder, New York; Dillingham, Vermont; Hale, Maine; Marrcld, Oklahoma, and Johnson, California supported the amend ment today. (, ; Less Than Estimate. ' Three republicans who supported the manufacturers' tax did not vote today. They were: Edge, New Jer sey; Ernst, Kentucky, and Warren, Wyoming. Counting senators who Were paired, it was estimated that She maximum vote, which would ave been cast for the sales tax was 34, or tome six less that it had been estimated would support it. Some senators thought that the debate re sulted in the loss of some votes. I The' senate continued considera tion of the tax bill at a session to night, but with the soldier bonus and other important amendments yet to be disposed of, republican leaders abandoned hope for passage of the bill this week. They sought 1o obtain unanimous consent for a final vote at 3 p. m. Tuesday, with time limited after 3 p. m. Monday, but the plan fell through, after some debate. Several senators, who want to go home to vote in local elections, ob jected to a vote on Tuesday, and .asked that some hour on Wednes day be fixed. There seemed pros pects of an agreement on this, but ' Senator Jones, democrat, New Mex ico, protesting against the limiting jbf debate, objected to the agree ment as drafted. This ended the ef fort' to obtain unanimous consent lor ia vote, but negotiations 'to this' end 'probably will be renewed tomorrow. Continue Auto Tax. ; Urging his sales tax amendment, senator smoot told, the senate tnat .since a sales tax was to be adopted in connection with the soldier bonus, he thought it would be a wise plan to put it into effect now, so as to '.determine what rate would be neces sary to yield the money needed. . An unsuccessful effort was made tonight by Senator Townsend, re publican, Michigan, to have the 3 per cent tax on automobile trucks and wagons repealed. The senate voted, 36 to 27, against reconsidera tion of the committee amendment, proposing1 to continue this tax. Amendments by individual senators then were taken up, under a tacit agreement that the session tonight 'would continue until a late hour, r r Without a record vote the senate adopted an amendment by Senator Jones, democrat,-New Mexico, re quiring corporations in making out their income tax returns, to show the dividends declared during the ear lor which the return is made. ts purpose, the author explained, was to prevent the possibility on concealing profits . i North Platte Car Repairer P Is Killed by Engine i!:' North Platte, Neb., Nov. 4.

Victim of Assassin At Tokio Rail Station ii i mm Premier of Japan Is Murdered by Assassin (Continued Fran Fate Oh.) tinguished political career. Born in 1854, he was for some time in the foreign office service both at home and abroad and was vice minister for a time in 1895. He joined the late prince I to in organizing the Seiyu Kai party in 1900 and shortly after ward became minister of communi cations in the cabinet Later he served again as head of that depart ment of the government in the Seiyo-Kai cabinet of 1906-8, resign ing with the fall of that ministry and traveling in Europe and Amer ica in the latter part of 1908 and in 1909. On his visit to this country he was received by President Roose velt in Washington in September, 1908. M. Hara re-entered the cabinet in 1913 as minister of home affairs, and in 1919 formed the cabinet now in office. Went Into Journalism. When a youth M. Hari studied law for a time, but forsook it for journalism, through which work came his introduction into the for eign office service. During a la ter interval in his political career, in 1896-7, he was chief editor of the Osaka Mainichi, and took up again the chief membership of that paper for a time before entering the Sai Unii cabinet as minister of the in terior in 1906. In May, 1920, a plot was discovered to assassinate Premier Hara, the de tails coming out in November, last, by publication of the findings of a preliminary court, which tried a for mer artilleryman named Ito, charged with planning an attempt against the premier's person. Seven bombs were to have been employed in the attempted assassination, which was to have taken place on May 8. IVA), the court findings showed. Purchased Revolver. It was asserted that Ito came to Tokio and purchased a revolver and explosives, making his bombs out of bottles and boxes. On taking them into the streets, however, he was knocked down accidentally by an auto and the police discovered the infernal machines he had devised and unravelled the plot. The assassination of Premier Hara recalls a similar dramatic inci dent when Premier Clemenceau of France was shot and dangerously wounded at a time when the peace conference, of which he was presid ing officer, was at its height This occurred February 19, 1919, while Clemenceatf was going from his home to the American headquarters at the Hotel Crillon. Springing from behind a kiosk, the would-be slayer, Emil Cottin, fired a volley of shots at the aged statesman, two bullets taking effect, one in the shoulder and another in the breast near the lungs. The victim's life was despaired of for a time, but his iron will helped carry him through and within three weeks he resumed his place with the peace conference, which had been threatened with dis ruption by the incident The Vienna congress after the Na poleonic wars was similarly dis turbed, first by a series of assassins and then by Napoleon's dramatic stroke in escaping from Elba and returning in triumph to Paris.
