A. W. Johanas has lightened the labors
of Rural Mall Carrier James. . The first
station of his route, extending out over
the limekiln road to Crescent Is located
at the head of Harrison street There

post and it has taken a long time to
distribute the mall. Yesterday when

the posts had disappeared, and in their
place stood a post of easy access from
the road. The post was a strong Iron
wagon axle and on the top of it a wagon
wheel had been attached and all of the
eight boxes were fastened securely to the
wheel.
The carrier can now drive up and reach
the boxes by revolving the wheel, saving
hlra a great deal of trouble and much
tnme. The device was put up by A.
W. Johanas, who lives near and it was
wholly at his own expense.

they would feel under obligations to us for calling their
attention to it. - . s

Newbroe Herpicide in Omaha, have each arranged to give
valuable Herpicide products free to the first 125 persons
who bring the coupon from the advertisement to any one of
our several stores, and purchase a large bottle of Herpicide.

MAKE UNUGUAL OFFER TO USERS OF
SENATE PASSES EXCISE BILL
Democrat, and Progressive Eepnb
licanr Again tfnite. ,
ADD PERMANENT TAEUT B0AED
Measarc Will Go Back to Honae for
, Approval with Amendment for'
Repeal of Reciprocity
Agreement.
WASHINGTON. July .-Democrats
and progressives united again in the sen
ate tonight and by a vote of 3S to M
passed the demooratio excise tax bill, ex
tending the present tax on corporations
to the business of Individuals, private
firms and copartnerships. Attached to
the measure, also by the aid of repub
lican votes, were amendments for the re
peal of the Canadian reciprocity law and
the fixing of a 12 per ton tariff on prln.
paper, and for the establishment of a per.
manent nonpartisan tariff commission.
The second day's victory tor he .democratic-progressive
combination came after
a debate lacking In Interest. The passage
of the excise bill became certain early
In the day and the republican leaders of
fered little opposition to it. Senator
Borah in a fight to have his Income tax
bill substituted ' for the "tax on bust
ness" lost by a vote of 33 to 23, although
he mustered to is support many of the
regular republicans and four democrats
Ashum. Culberson, Hitchcock and Mar
tine. ; , - ' .
Refuse to Chance BUI.
The democratic majority stood almost
solidly against any change in the house
bill that would threaten Its defeat. They
declared the "tax on business" was
clearly constitutional, while an Income
tax had once been held unconstitutional
by the supreme court and might again
suffer that fate, until the states ratify
the amendment to the federal constitu
tion! The excise bill was supported by
the following progressives and Insurgent
republicans: Bourne,' Brlstow, Clapp,
Crawford, Cummins, Gronna, Jones, Ken
yon, La Follette, Nelson, Polndexter,
To wnsend and Works.
- The measure was changed from the
original house bill only in minor par
ticulars, except for the addition of the
Canadian reciprocity repeal and the per
manent tariff commission provision. It
will go back to the house for the approval
of that body, and It is believed an agree
ment soon will be reached, so that a per
fected measure can be laid before the
president for his approval. The excise
measure would levy upon all persons,
firms or copartnerships an annual . tax
equal to 1 per cent of net Income in ex
cess of 16,000.
Senator Cummins' permanent tariff
board amendment, which was carried
once yesterday in the wool fight and then
lost In the final upheaval when the La
Follette bill passed, was attached to the
excise bill by a vote of 38 to 29. All of the
democrats except Pomerene of Ohio voted
against the tariff board, while all of the
republicans except Keyburn of Idaho sup
ported it
Labor Unions exempt.
The senate made a change in the ex
cise bill so that the tax would not apply
to labor organisations, agricultural aeso
elation or fraternal organizations of an
insurance character. This amendment was
offered by Senator Fletcher. A plan to
cheek the tobacco monopoly by a special
exolse tax on production above a certain
amount, - offered by Senator Hitchcock,
waa defeated. ' ''':. ..' ' '
The Hitchcock proposal. was a special
tax on the production of more than 20,
000,000 pounds of tobacco, 400,000,000 cigars,
the same number of cigarettes, and 4,000,
000 pounds of snuff by any one company.
For an annual production above this
quantity the tax Would rise rapidly, so
that it would soon become prohibit! "e.
Senator Hitchcock declared such a taxing
system would curb a tobacco monopoly
which the government had failed to do
through a "mistake, lack of Judgment,
connivance or in some other way."

gregated for the assassination, and Jack
Sullivan, alleged go-between for certain
of the police and gamblers, were in front
of the Hotel Metropole at the time Ros
enthal waa slain, was given in coroner's
court this afternoon. Following these
statements. Sullivan, who has been held
as a material witness, was rearrested on
a charge of homicide and Webber was

Sullivan as having been there imme
diately after the shooting.
John Relsler, known in the tenderloin
as "John, the Barber." testified that he
had seen Webber near the Metropole
after the shooting and that "Brldgie"
was running.
Mayor Gaynor took a decided stand
today In the turmoil that has arisen over
the inquiry. He wrote to Police Com
missioner Waldo directing that Lieutenant
Becker, who was charged by Rosenthal
with being in league with the gamblers
In this city, shall hot be suspended or
put to trial without evidence to Justify -his
conviction and dismissal. On the
"other charge" that Becker instigated
the murler of Rosenthal, the mayor
said: '
"This is possible, hut so far there is
no evldenoe to support the charge."
Patrolman William . E. File, who was
in the Metropole at the time of the
murder, was served with charges that
he failed to take proper action in caus
ing the apprehension of the murderefs.
