ried by the Associated Press, says:
"The senate ratified the resolution
approving the proposed income tax
amendment vto the federal constitu
tion defeated last year by a single
vote in the assembly. The resolu
tion is expected to be acted upon by
the assembly within a short "time,
and no doubt is expressed of its
adoption. A lively debate preceded
the vote, the republicans generally
opposing the amendment, while the
democrats favored it."
An Associated Press dispatch from

arrested some time ago as an accom
plice in the robbery of freight cars
on the National railway near here,
has just received a check for $1,5 5 G
as compensation for the time he was

locked up. The order of railway
conductors adjusted the matter.

THE CROSSED FINGERS
He swore that her kiss was the first
he had had;
But his fingers were crossed!
He'd kissed but his mother, when he
was a lad
Yes, his fingers were crossed! j
He vowed that not only he'd ne'er
had a taste.
Of "quivering lips, but that no other
waist
Had ever'been clasped by his arms.
Then in haste
His fingers were crossed!
The sparkler he gave her he'd pur
. chased that day,
But his fingers were crossed!
No previous maiden had worn it
nay, nay!
But his fingers were crossed!
And never, so long as his life should
endure,
Would eye, cheek, or lip of another
maid lure
He knew it past every doubt he
was sure
But his fingers were crossed!
' She listened to all of the guff he
had said
While his fingers were crossed!
She laid on his bosom her wise little
head
While his fingers were crossed!
She answered so low that the famed
"little bird"
Who peddles . sweet secrets could
scarcely have heard
As she breathed, "Oh, my love, I be
, lieve every word!"
' . But her fingers were crossed!

A Washington correspondent for
the Philadelphia North American
sends to his newspaper this more or
less startling dispatch:
"By an order dated October 28 of
las,t year, eleven days before tho last
election, and several months after
tho attempt to turn over the Alaskan
coal fields to the Morgan-Guggenheim
syndicate had been frustrated
through the investigation of former
Secretary of the Interior Ballinger,
President Taft himself gave actual
control of the same coal fields to the
same syndicate.
"This announcement, made now
for the first time, is given added sig
nificance by the fact that at the time
the order was issued President Taft
had publicly announced that hehad
taken into his own hands the matter
of tho claims of the Alaskan coal
fields, with the intention of adminis
tering absolute justice alike to the
coal, claimants and to the public In
terests. He had, led the publicjto be
lieve that its property rights In the
coal lands of Alaska were to be safe
guarded, and that neither evasion,
nor violation of the law would be
permitted to open a way to tlie in
vasion of those rights by monopoliz
ing syndicates or exploiting indi
viduals. "With the public lulled into a
sense of temporary security, both by
the assurances of the president and
the revelations made In the Ballinger
inquiry, which seemed to preclude
the possibility of any action adverse
to the public Interest, until all claims
were adjusted publicly, the president
signed .the order which, so far as the
Morgan - Guggenheim syndicate Is
concerned, was as valuable to that
combination as would have been a
title to the.coal lands themselves.
For tho order issued by President
Taft, and made public now, for the
first time, gave to the syndicate ab
solute control of ihe only possible'
outlet from the mines to tidewater
not ..already in the control of the
syndicate."
A Washington correspondent for
the New York World says: "If the
farmers' free list bill, reported, be
comes a law, the remission in duties
will be more than $8,000,00Q. The
cotton growers of the south, it is
estimated, will save $1,500,000 on a
13,000,000 bale crop. On sacks to
ship peanuts, potatoes and kindred
