REVENUEJN BILL
Says Senate Tariff Measure
Gives Enough Income,
OPENS DEBATE IN UPPER HOUSE
Chairman of Finance Committee Makes
Statement In Support of the Bill
and Explains' the Various Changes.
Democratic Senators Will Urge In
come Tax as Most' Prolific Means
of Increasing Government Receipts.
"Washington, April 19. The tariff
debate In tho Bennto began today Im
mediately after the close of tho rou
tine business. Senator Aldrlch, chair
man of tho committee on finance,
opened the proceedings with a gen
eral statement in support of the bill.
Senator Aldrlch went Into detail In
explanation of the various changes
made by his committee and undertook
to show that the bill, as reported, will
be a strong rovenuo producer.
Ho will bo followed by Senator Dan
iel, the senior Democratic senator,
who Is expected to outline tho Demo
cratic position regarding the measure,
taking the opposite stand.
Other Democrats will declare that
tho weakness of the Payne-Aldrlch
bill is found in that It will not insure
aufllcicnt Incomo to permit the govern
mental business to proceed without
tho addition of other features which
will put money into tho national treas
ury. Tho Democratic senators will
urge an incomo tax as tho most ra
tional and most prolific means of in
creasing the receipts. All of them
will support an Incomo tax provision
and In nddltlon somo of them will
strenuously urge a tax on all dealings
In futures. They will havo tho sup
port of some of tho Republican sena
tors, but will not receive assistance
from any of tho members of the com
mittee on finance, as they take the po
sition thnt with greater economy and
Improved business conditions, which
nil arc predicting, the bni will insure
Bufllclent revenue to meet the de
mands of tho government.
There will not be In the sermto an in
tho house, any sharp dividing line be
tween general debate and the discus
sion of amendments to tho schedules,
but on the contrary It Is expected that
Immediately after the close of the
Daniel speech, tho reading of the bill
will proceed', with a view to consider
ing amendments wherever they are of
fered. If senators desire to make set
speeches, even on the general subject
of tho tariff, they will bo permitted to
do so in connection with tho consider
ation of the different schedules. If
It is found necessary thero will bo a
lengthening of Uio dally sessions. Tho
Democrats profess ns great anxiety as
tho Republicans for the early dispo
sition of the measure.

Is Victim of Plot.
Paris, April 19. "I am the victim
of the most diabolical plot ever de
vised to ruin an innocent man." This
was tho message contained In a fare
well letter found In tho effects of Will

The American consul genernl, Frank
H. Mason, continues to believe that
Mr. Balnbridge, for whom ho had tho

hesitation, expresses belief In her hus
hand's words.
