I.ate this afternoon tha state filed a de murrer to the petition of the plaintiffs arking for the Injunction. This was done at the request of the court, when all the lawyers had agreed upon the statement of facts la the ease. The decision will be on the demurrer. Practically the entire day waa taken up with the dlsouaslon of one phase of the case whether the state bad a right to limit the business of banking to corporations, Judge Albert and C. O. Whedon contend ing that It did have the light. John I Webster'closed the argument for the plain tiff a.. Jar' Asian, ueatloma. Judge Vandeventer frequently Inter rupted the lawyers with questions, and on one occasion he aaked the attorney to underatand that the question waa no In dication of bla own conclusion Id the mate . ter. The questions were aaked, he aald, ' to secure as much light as possible. In discussing the right of the state to prohibit a private bank. Judge Albert ar , gued that the Individual was not oon- - cerned, lor the reaaon that the individual , beuame a quasi publlo Institution when he became a banker and therefore the law did not deal with the individual Ubertlea of anyone. Judge . Vandeventer, In endeavoring to i gat Judge Albert to aay whether the state i had just aa much right to deal with the ! Individual aa It had to deal with the oor- ' porauon, unaity uin u juuga Aiutin ' believed the state had the right to eend . Its Inspectors Into a grocery store under the pure food law to make inspections. Judge Albert would not deny the state . this right, though he did tell the court that the continual and persistent passage of such lawa would eventually deprive '. the individual of the rights given him un der the constitution. The main points of Judge Albert's argu : roent waa the right of the atate to limit tha ! banking business to corporations by epe i clfylng that private bankera would have to Incorporate. Mr. Whclaa't Arsraasent. C. O. Whedon, arguing along tha same lines about the right of the state to limit the banking business to a corporation, told of the limits placed upon Individual liber- ties by saying that when a person pursues happlneaa by hunting and fishing en Sun day the aharlff pursuee him. Judge Van . deventer Informed Mr, Whedon this was . not a good illustration because tha tlsh and , the game belonged to the atate, and the ! state had a right to designate the season , when they should be killed. Then Mr. Whedon changed hta llluatra tion by saying when a farmer pursues hap- I plneaa by plowing In his fields oo Sundays , the sheriff pursueee him under the state law prohibiting common labor on the first ' day ef the week. "Tou don't mean to say It would re quire a statute to prevent you from plow ing on Sunday," aald the Judge with a j smile, but Mr, Whedon failed to eee any humor In the. situation and did not Join ia the smile wbleta want over the court room. Mr. Whedon then argued that the new law did not prohibit tha Individual from engaging In the banking business, but it did prescribe certain rulee for him to fullew before he eould engage in such bual neaa. The state, he aald, had a right to pre vent a person engaging tn banking bual neae with a capital of U and If It had this right it eould prohibit hint from entering tba banking bualneaa. Then be oltad the regulations and condlllona under which ' Pawnbrokers did buelneae and the regu . iatlua ef .lnauranee companies. He argued the state had ample authority 1 to enact legtalatlon for tha eon trot of the banking bualneaa. Judge Albert waa asked by Judge Van i devantar If In hla opinion could a portion ( of the law, that relating to private bankers be declared unconstitutional, would the re ( tnalnder of the aet stand f Ia reply Judge Albert aald I ' "peaking (or myself alone and not bin I ing evher eouneel I would say If a part v of the aet la deetreyed all ef it should be deetreyed."

A moment later another member or the deputation, Mrs. Saul Solomon, knocks! off the Inspector's cap a second time, whllo others made determined attempts to rush the cordon of police. Eventually the en tire deputation was placed under arrest By this time a second deputation had left Caxton hall, accompanied by some nun dreds of suffragettes and others, and an attempt was made to reach the house of commons through the underground pas sage, leading from Westminster bridge.

CUMMINS BREAKS WITH TAFT Iowa Senator Opposes Administration Earnings' Tax Plan. CALLS IT UNCONSTITUTIONAL Also Declares that It Contraveaea "3Iot Marred Principles of Onr Goi rrniuenlal Compact." Fa. ore Direct Income Tax. WASHINGTON. June ft.-Senator Cum mins ol Iowa, In addressing' the senate to day in favor of the income tax, said In part: I "The Issue respecting an income tax has sudden changed. Until within a few days the lstue was whether any income tax should be authorised by congress. It now seems to bo what kind of an Income tax shall be adopted." Mr. Cummins said that while be believed It to b the duty of a senator to give rec ommeidations of the president careful con sideration, he did not consider such rec ommendation as a ooromand nor did he believe the president would want any sen ator tot accept It unleaa It is In harmony with tk own judgroer -Ho felt that be eould ivt agree with 'tha president's con clusion "I beieve," said Mr. Cummlna, "that the special Income tax which haa been pro posed by the finance committee not only contraienea the most aacred principles of our gorernmental compact, not only over rides tile deepest oonvlotlons that civilised man hilds wtlh reopect to taxation, but that It collides with the decision of the supreme court, so often mentioned in this debate, at the same point and with the same fctoe as does the general lnoome tax provtaloa which we propose. I believe that It la no.i only In conflict with the Pollock case, but I believe that It has a constitu tional weakness peculiar to Itself, and that Its validity Is much more doubtful than the validity f the amendment that we have offered." Life of Protection Involved. Mr. Cunmtna suggested that the very ex istence ot the proteotlve tariff system would nuke necessary some other means of raltsng revenue than that now followed. The people he said, would not oonsent to the excesttve duties that would be neces sary to obaln all the revenue needed from Imports. lie said that the "objections that are urged against the Income tax when weighed with the objections that can properly be brought against any other form of laxatlos' open to congress will be found to b trivial and epheraereal. "It It hes been fairly established that we ought low or In the near future to resort to sane form of taxation not now employed tkere can be little doubt that we should ke Incomes rather than any other kind f property, whether tangible or lntanglbli aa the object of our add! tlonal taxal!n." Ihe Iowa tenator concluded that if the government lapends upon Its present re sources. It wl have a large deficit in 1911. As a practical matter he regarded it aa necessary to find some means for offset ting It by a aew form of taxation, which would be lmiosed upon the people best able to bear it Why He Opposes Taft Plan. Mr. Cummiia reviewed many decisions bearing upon te Income tax. The amend rmnt proponed, by the finance committee, he aald, was rabject to all the obpectlons from a legal pnt of view that were urged against the Imeme tax proposed by him. Reviewing thesi objections, he said: 1. It is a tax upon Incomes, and the fact that It brings vtthtn its provisions the In comes of corpomtlons only does not and cannot change lu character.

COMES TO VIEW THE SITUATION "One Mi Thing Is Certain, No Nebraska in Will Succeed Me," Says Dean of Nebraska Medi cal College. IYof. J. B. Johnston of the University of Minnesota probably will succeed Dr. Henry C. Ward hs dean of the University of Ne braska College of Medicine. He is favored for the position by Dr. Ward himself and by members of the board of regents. Prof. Johnston was escorted to Omah by Dr. Ward to meet the members of the faoulty of the Omaha branch of the Ne braska School or Medicine. A luncheon waa given In his honor at the Omaha club at which ten of the prominent doctors of this city were present. Dr. Ward when Interviewed upon his ar rival said he did not know that Prof. Johnston would be hla successor. He said ho brought him here to aee the Omaha school and to let htm learn how well Omaha waa prepared to treat him should he be elected to the position of dean. Dr. Ward would not say that Prof. John ston was his choice for the position. He said, however, that his successor would not be ar member of the present Nebraska faculty. "Prof. Johnston is brought here by me that he may become acquainted with the Omaha members of the Nebraska faculty, He has not consent! to accept the posi tion vacated by me. He has not as yet learned enough about the Nebraska school to know whether he would like the place or not Will Know Wednesday. "By Wednesday I think he will be able to state whether he would like to take my place. Tou had better Interview him then and he may be able to tell you what he will do. "In the meantime he will be In Omaha with me. His visit here will permit the local professors and doctors to learn whether they will like Prof. Johnston and that, of course, will have some bearing on his being elected as my successor." "Whether Prof. Johnston is elected or not, my successor Is euro to be some pro fessor who Is not now a msmber of the University of Nebraska faculty. There Is no one at Lincoln who feels that he could take up the work of aean or the medical oolloge and so the regents will have to get a man from some other school. "Prof. Johnson ranks high In the Unl versify of Minnesota faculty. He has been there several years and has done good work for the Minnesota college." Dr. Ward will leave for Alaska this evening to do some research work for the government He will return to Ne braska late in August and some time after that will go to Illinois to take up the duties of his new position In the Illinois State university. Confederate Brigadier la Suicide. OAKLAND, Cel., June 29. General George B. Coaby, aged 09, a native of Ken tucky and one of the few surviving briga diers of the Confederate army, committed suicide by Inhaling gas here today. He had been suffering from paralysis. "I did not have enough power turned on," explained Orville at this Juncture. At 6:30 o'clock the machine was ready for another trial and the first mishap waa repeated, with the exception that thla time tha left wing scraped the ground. The machine was then returned for a third trial, and the crowd, seeing that Or ville was determined to make a flight, chered lustily. Orville stuck to his theory that the power was not sufficient. He did not appear to be the least bit nervous nor concerned over the two failures. He Joked with the news paper men, who were the only persons allowed within the field today, and seemed to be confident that the machine would ultimately make a auccessful flight. The third attempt waa even leas successful, the machine refualng to rise at all. At 7:46 o'clock the final trial was started and the machine rose to a height of about fifteen or twenty feet. Shortly after It ascended from the ground It showed s gns of losing headway, but Orville kept on around the field, remaining in the air about fifty second and landing almost In front of the starting track, 1 1 Thia u4e4 Uie ujal for the day, ; Rhode Island Man Favors Earning?' Tax Only to Defeat Income Tax. HE FRANKLY TELLS SENATE SO Makes Explicit Answer to Questions Propounded By Bailey. BIO FIGHT IS ON IN EARNEST Schedules Sidetracked and Internal Revenue Comes Up. TEA DUTY IS BADLY DEFEATED Tillman Pleads in Vain for "Infant Industry of South Carolina" Senate lias Intrreettnsj Sea ton on llevenne. WASHINGTON, June 29 -With the tariff schedules disposed of, and the door locked agalnat the present Intrusion of amend- menta upon them, the senate todny finally entered upon the consideration of the in come and corporation tsx questions as con nected with the tariff bill. While the sen ate was more than four hours In formally coming to the question of taxation of In come, the subject received more or less Individual attention while the tea provision was under consideration, and it was dur ing that stage of the proceeding that the most Interesting occurrence of the day took place. This was the announcement of the real attitude of Chairman Aldrich of the finance committee towards the corporation tax pro vision, which he had Introduced at the In stance of the president It had for some time been whispered around the senate corridors that the Rhode Inland senator had become an advocate of a tax on the earnings of corporations as the most ef fective means ot defeating a general In come tax amendment to the pending bill. Chairman Aldrlch Prank. Mr. Aldrich today stated his own posi tion, which was in accordance with the rumors. He spoke In response to a ques tion from Senator Clay. He said: "I shall vote for the corporation tax as a means of defeating the Income tax." He added: "I shall be perfectly frank In that respect. I shall vote for it for an other reason. The income of the govern ment this year will show a deficit of $00,. 000,000. Next year there will be a deficit of 145,000,000. I am willing that the deficit shall be taken care ot by a corporation tax, but at the end of two yeara It should either be reduced to a nominal amount or repealed." Mr. Aldrlch said he did not favor aa a permanent form of taxation "a tax which is sure In the end to destroy the protec tive system." Valley Makes Reply. At onoe Mr. Bailey declared Mr. Aldrich had announced that hla attitude tn favor ing a corporation tax was a mere subter fuge. "Under the statement made by the sen ator from Rhode Island," said Mr. Bailey, "those who have said they favor an In come tax and now Join him in this subter fuge to defeat it, may see clearly what they are doing. We now are told that this corporation tax is to be entirely repealed, or at least emasculated, within the next two years, and see that after all It la simply a contest between an Income tax as a part of our fiscal system, or a corporation tax as a subterfuge to be continued two years." Wey Aldrlch Favors Tax. "My support of the corporation tax," re plied Mr. Aldrlch promptly, "la not a sub terfuge in any sense of the word. The cor poration tax. is a tax on corporation!, which it is clearly within the right of con gress to Impose, and those senators who are honestly In favor of an income tax that Is constitutional, and that can be operated, will support the Income tax prop, ouitlon of the administration as against the proposition of the senator from Texas which is certainly, In the minds of more thoughtful people, unconstitutional." . "The least thoughtful people," corrected Mr. Bailey. "My direct authority," continued Mr. Bailey, "for saying this was a subterfuge, Is the statement ot the senator from Khode Island that he will vote for a cor poration tax for the purpose of defeating an Income tax. If that does not define a subterfuge we will need a new dictionary." Mr. Aldrlch said he favored an Income tax only for times of emergency and le ctured Senator Bailey wished te use the tax as a means for destroying tho proteo tlve system. Supports the President. "This proposition for a corporation tax waa made by the president of the United States before the house committee on waya and means prior to the time we considered It here," said Mr. Aldrlch. "I am here as a republican to support a republcan ad ministration aa far as I can consistently with my duty. I shall vote for thla proposi tion for the purposes I have named, and the fact that It is a republican proposition and supported by the president of the United States is not the least controlling." Mr. Bailey said he had a curiosity to know whether "when they had set their heads at work to defeat the income tax amendment, the president made the sug gestion or the senator from Rhode Island sugKested It to the president?" "I suppose the senator scarcely expects an answer to that question," responded Mr Aldrich, who added hia recent converaatlon with the president was a private one. "While you are talking about all these things." pW-aded Mr. Tillman, "my poor little tea baby has been laid aside and is crying for pap." Another Hap at Aldrich. Mr. Clay suld he believed the Rhode Is land senator' favored the corporation tax solely to defeat the income tax. "Not solely." replied Mr. Aldrlch.
