Rarely ha Beverley been held In a more
continuing excitement than today. Through
out the long afternoon the road leading
past the secluded park, where the presi

crowded with sightseers. Two stalwart
policemen and half a dosen secret serv

more venturesome of the curious.
The day. of the president's arrival wa
well nigh perfect. A cool breese made
the warmth of the unclouded morning sun

The cottage, which I quite palatial In
the extent of its accommodations and
equipment, i set among towering elm, the
view from it wide verandas commanding
a long sweep of wooded beauty.
The picturesque old bay, dotted here and
there with ragged, rocky Islands, offered
a marine plot ire of rare attractiveness to

Many Demands
For Workers in
Wheat Fields
Adams County Fanners Are Offering
extraordinary Inducements
to Laborers.
HASTINGS, Neb., July 4. (Special.)
With a record-breaking wheat crop now
ready for harvest the farmer of Adams
county are confronted with one of the mom
serious labor famine ever experienced In
thl aection. Men have been taken to the
farm from many lines of employment In
thl city and rural jobs paying all the way
from 2.50 to S3.50 per day, with three
farm meals thrown in, still go begging
Numerous local employer find themselves
handicapped by the loss of hands that have
quit their city job and gone to the wheat
fields. Yesterday all but six of the eight
een men employed by Contractor Rine
hart In the laying of a long sewer dropped
their picks and shovels and made for the
farms. Four tramp printers who struck
town about the middle of the week, Just
In time to find employment In rush work
on catalogues and other publications,
climbed Into a farmer's six-cylinder tour
ing car yesterday and today the editors And
publishers are celebrating the Fourth of
July by setting type and feeding press.
Two base ball players that failed to make
good on the local team found Jobs at their
own terms where they will not have to
siftfer the wit of merclles fans. Bartend
ers who lost their positions through the
pit- l ice a day, however much the house
wife may object, and a number of them
have placed orders with the local brewery
for a keg of beer each morning. A whole
sale Ice cream manufacturer this mornlryy
sent out a dozen ten-gallon tubs of Ice
cream to squads of wheat workers.
All reports indicate that the wheat crop
will exceed all former records in this
county, both in quality and quantity, and
local automobile agents are making ar
rangements accordingly. As many automo
biles are already owned by farmers In this
county as there are owned in Hastings,
and all the village, and dealer say their
best prospects for future sales are among
the farmers. Last week thirty farmer in
the vicinity of Glenvllle, a short distance
south of Hastings, organized a bank in an
ticipation of big returns from the wheat
harvest, and each subscribed 1500 to the
capital stock. That . one move heat the
automobile men out of a number of sales,
but the dealer believe that if one of the
new crop of capitalists can be Induced to
buy the others will quickly follow.

Senate Leaders Confidently Expect
Final Vote to Be Taken
This Week.
VOTE ON INCOME TAX TODAY !
Senator Brown's Constitutional
Amendment Will Be Adopted.
WILL SURVIVE CONFERENCE
Little Doubt that States Will Be
Asked to Act on It.
GETS HARD TO KEEP QUORUM
Senators Have Crown Weary 1Q Lone
and irve-Hackisg Debate tn
Hot Weather, and Want
to Get Away.
WASHINGTON. July 4.-Tt is confidently
expected by senators generally that .he
senate will reach a vote on the passage
of the tariff bill by the end of the present
week.
There it still much to be done and there
are many Important feature to be con
sidered, but the measure ha been before
the senate so long that men of all factions
and of both parties are becoming tired of
it, as has been made evident since the ac
tion on Friday last on the Income tax ques
tion. That subject wa regarded a the
culminating Issue and with it disposed of
In accordance with the finance commit
tee' views, the opponent of that organ
isation seem to have lost all heart.
The discussion Saturday was perfunctory
and at no time was there barely more
than a quorum present. Thl Indicate to
the minds of many that there is little
fight In the opposition. Hence the belief
that the remaining provision will receive
slight attention and that the final vote la
near at hand.
Income Tax Vote Today.
At 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon the sen
ate will enroll Its vote on the proposition
for a constitutional amendment looking to
the levying of an Income tax. Senator
Brown of Nebraska I the author of the
resolution on which the vote will be taken,
but the proposition Is a part of the gen
eral administration scheme with reference
to income and corporation taxes. There la
no doubt that the resolution will be
adopted by the senate, and It is believed
it will run the gauntlet of the conference
and become a law, so that before long the
various state of the union will be called
upon to say whether they desire a federal
Income tax. Twelve state can defeat the
provision.
Other matter of Importance -remaining
to be considered In connection with the
I tariff bill are the drawback provision, the
CU8torn court section, the tobacco tax.
which tt Is generally understood wlU be
increased, and the authorlzatlop ot- the
valuation ot a certain class of imports in
accordance with American prices. Any of
these would have caused a week's debate
at the beginning of the discussion of the
measure, but It Is believed the most of
them will be disponed of after little, if any,
more than a da,y'a consideration.
Still Open to Amendment.
So far the bill has been considered by
the senate as in committee of the whole,
hut as soon as Its discussion in that con
nection Is completed It will cross the un
marked parliamentary line and enter the
senate proper, where it will be possible to
reopen any of the numberless subjects
covered by It. Comparatively few of the
Items, however, will be retouched, but
among those which will receive some at
tention are the corporation tax, petroleum,
sugar and, probably, wood pulp and print
paper.
Senator Aldrich ha given an explicit
promise that the committee on finance
would pay especial attention to the cor
poration tax question, with the view of
modifying It so as to exempt purely mu
tual benefit concerns, such, for Instance, as
building and loan associations. - It Is be
lieved an amendment In that direction will
be brought In by the committee, and If it
Is it will receive favorable consideration
from the senate. .
Hard to Hold Qnoram.
It I becoming difficult to hold a quorum
In the senate and an especially large num
ber of senator will be away until Tues
day. A number of them left the city to
spend th Fourth at their home or at the
seashore, and It may be difficult to get a
legal vote on the Income tax resolution
on Monday.
Th house ha no business before It and
will again adjourn from Monday until
Thursday, and from Thursday to the fol
lowing Monday, without attempting to leg
islate on any subject.
To Create Custom Conrt.
Agreement to stand by the section of the
tariff bill providing for the establishment
of a customs court, aa originally reported,
was reached today by the senate committee
on finance. Th provision has been
singled out for attack in th senate.

Alleged Leper
to Be Subject
of Experiment
John F. Early, Former Soldier, Taken
from Washington to New York
for Treatment
NEW YORK, July 4.-After an all-night
ride, practically a prisoner, In a baggage
car attached to a fast Pennsylvania train
between Washington and New York, John
R. Early, the North Carollnan, whose, de
tention as a leper in an Isolated camp at
Washington stirred up such a controversy
among medical men, arrived in New York
today and Is now a patient of the New
York Skla and Cancer hospital, where his
case will be thoroughly investigated. Early
wa accompanied on the trip by Captain
Beavers of the Salvation Army Industrial
bureau in Washington, and a friend.
Arriving at the Institution here, he was
not confined to his own ward, but was al
lowed the freedom of practically the en
tire building, and spent the day In con
versing with the patients of the other
wards. The superintendent of the hospital,
who 1 a woman, said that. In her opinion,
there was absolutely nothing the matter
with Early, but In the absence of Dr. Bulk
ely, who is on a vacation, she was unable
to say what disposition would be made
of the patient.
Mrs. Early reached here on a later train
today and will endeavor to obtain work.
It was largely through Dr. Bulkely's ef
forts that Early was brought here for
treatment. Dr. Bulkely Interested himself
n the case, visited Early In Washington
several times, and obtained permission from
the new York health authorities for his
removal here. There has been a wide va
riance of opinion as to the former soldier's
ailment. Many physicians do not believe
that he has leprosy. At any rate, Dr.
Bulkely, as an eminent skin specialist,
hope to make a scientific study of the
case and give what relief he can to the
unfortunate man.

Southerners Opposed to
Negro Census Enumerators
WAamNQTON, July 4. Concerned about
what they suppose to be the possibility
that negroes may be sent into the home
of white resident of the south a enumera
tors to get their Information for the thir
teenth decennial federal census, members
of congress will urge President Taft to
give instructions that only white enumera
tors shall be employed In districts south
of the "Mason and Dixon line."
Representatives of the southern state In
congress say that they have little hope of
preventing the employment of negroes un
less th president Interferes. Reports of
the experience of the Virginia delegation
in seeking a portion of the census patron
age from that state have disturbed the
southern representatives. Senator Martin
and Representative Hay of Virginia, it U
aid, were informed by Director Durand
that the recommendation of the republican
referees In the southern states would gov.
ern, wherever possible, in the designation
of supervisors of the census. Th super
visors will select enumerators.
As passed by the house, the census bill
provides that the enumerators should be
appointed by the president. The usual re

BEER DELIVERY CASES UP
Havelork Saloon Keepers Who Sent
Beer to Lincoln Will Be Tried
Wednesday Arguments In
Primary Case.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, July 4. (Speclal.)-Though
only about one-third of the county as
sessor have made their return to the
State Board of Equalization, the Indica
tions are the Increase over the assessment
of last year will not be more than $5,000,000,
exclusive!".-, of. - jaiLroaa property. This
would be an Increase of $23,000 actual value.
In the county real estate was returned at
a valuation lees than last year, but as the
board, believes this was due to an error
the report has been sent back for verifi
cation. The Board of Equalisation will meet on
the third Monday In this month and will
continue In session until it work Is com
pleted. No valuation can be raised unless the
board hear the testimony of the county
assessor whose county Is affected and
other county officials who are Interested.
In the past this plan has always been fol
lowed,' but the last legislature enacted the
board's usual methods into law, so it. is
law now -for the - board to send for the
county officials when a raise in assessment
is contemplated. '
Fountain Will Be Dedicated.
Lincoln will- formally, dedicate lis new
fountain, presented by the humane alli
ance with offices in New York. The foun
tain ha been constructed on M street be
tween Eighth and Ninth streets. Mayor
Love and' others will make speeches. The
fountain I for the benefit of horses and
small animal.
Beer Delivery Cases.
The exolBe board is insisting upon the
enforcement of Its order against the haul
ing of beer from Havelock to Lincoln and
the matter will be decided upon the cases
called for trial next Wednesday in police
court.'
Three Havelock saloonkeepers who sent
beer over to Lincoln In drays have been
arrested and will be tried Wednesday. Two
wagons loaded with beer were taken to the
police station, and released upon the prom
ise of the saloon man that he would not
deliver any more beer In this city until
the case was decided in police court.
It Is going to be inconvenient for families
to keep beer on tap this summer, for the
excise board has made a rule that when
beer 1 shipped tn to Individual the con
signee must In person go to the station
and get th unit, though the board does
permit him to take along a wagon and
have It hauled out home. However, the
(Continued on Second Page.)
contingent upon th advice and consent
of the senate was absent. An amendment
was adopted in the senate supplying this
deficiency. When the bill wa considered
In conference the president is reported to
have told some of the member that. If the
senate provision were eliminated, he would
see to it himself that a satisfactory class
of supervisor and enumerator would be
employed.
rtenator Taliaferro then called at the
White House, and he say he understood
the president a giving him the same assur
ances. Th Florida senator then voted In
conference to strike out the provision le
qulrlng that th appointments should be
confirmed by the senate, but In spite of the
fact that a majority of the conferees of
the senate which originated the amend
ment voted to strike out the provision, the
house conferee and a minority of the sen
ate conferees declined to abandon It.
The fact that admission to the home
cannot be denied to enumerators, white or
black, who hold geverninetit commission
to gather statistics serve to aggravate
the situation. It is for this reason that
the minority has decided to appeal to the
president.
