Disaster probablv would have overtaken the suffragettes at their weekly meeting In tho music hall at Piccadilly circurs this afternoon but for the protective action of the nollcu. Hostile crowds, 400 strong, hod gathered with the intention of Invading the moot Ing, when a big force of police officers marched onto the scene, broke up tho mobs and established a rigid cordon which effectually prevented the projected assault Miss Kennedy, presiding &t the meet ing, said Mlsn Emmellno Pankhurst would be among them "In a few days, (f not within a few hours." i'naiora Condemn Women, Militancy Is beginning to receive at tention from the pulpits of the British isles. Dr. Leonard O. Broughton, the pastor of Christ church, Westminster Bridge road, forrrferly of Atlanta, Oa.. unsparingly castigated tho women yester day for their actions. He said; "A small bunch of' rampant anarchists, who ought to "be" In prison or In the luna tic asylum, are bringing disgrace nn their sex and hindering their noblo caUsoa caute which, sooh would. tie, victorious, if It were 'not fattlie methods of nnarohy used by fhsa Women with the idea of forcing It."

INCOME TAX BILL OUTLINED (Continued from Page One.) a net Income of a million would pay P.260 on his first 1100,000 and In addition' he woUld pay 4 pcr cent dn 1900.000, which would bring his total tax to 138.260. Tax oh Corporations. The bill also would re-enact the present corporation tax law Imposing a 1 per cent tax on the earnings of corporations, stock companlos, Insurance companies and the like, but it would exempt partner ships. This Is A flat tax. there being no graduated scale as the earnings Increase. The few changes from the present cor poration tax act, concern chiefly the ttmo of making returns and the time for collection. The bill also Includes under its provi sions the property and earnings In this country of persons who live abroad. It Is estimated by members of the ways and means committee that approximately I1OO.O0O.COO in revenue may be derived from this new tax. Including the corpora tion tax, that amount making up for tho deficit in revenues to be derives from im ports by virtue of the greatly reduced tariff rates and the transfer to the free list of articles that ore classed as neces saries of living. Incomes of taxable persons shall Include gains, profits and Income derived from salaries, wages, or compensation for per sonal service of whatever kind and In whatever form paid, or from professions, vocations, buslnetses, trade, commerce, or sales or dealings In property, also from Interest, rent, dividends, securities, including Income from property, Income from but not the value of property acquired by bequest, dsvice or descent, and also proceeds of life Insurance policies paid upon death of persons in sured, Deductions Allowed, The bill allows as deductions In com puting net Income all necessary expenses naturally Incurred In carrying on any business, not Including personal living or family expenses, Interest accrued and payable within the year by a taxable per son on Indebtedness; all national, state, county, school and municipal- taxes, not Including local benefit taxes; losses In curred In trade or from fires, storms or shipwreck not compensated by Insurance or otherwise; debts actually ascertained as worthless and charged off; alio rea sonable allowance for wear and tear on property, but no deduction will be al lowed for expense of restoration or Im provements made to Increase property k'aluf. It excepts also, In computing net In come, amounts received as dividends upon the stock of any corporation. Joint stock company, association or insurance com pany which is taxable upon Its net In come under the corporation tax provision of the bill. The bill excludes the compensation of yie president of the United States during hi terra, judges of the supreme court and" Inferior courts of the United States, and compensation of all officers and em ploye of a state or any political sub division thereof. It establishes a system of collection of consisting of two Initial-Towels and Tho special $1 a Set the tax nt Its source, requiring all per sons, firms, copartnerships, companies, corporations, Joint stock companies, asso ciations or Insurance companies, and all trustees, executors, administrators, re ceivers, etc., and officers and employes of the United Ktates having tho control or disposal of salaries, wages, Interest and other profits and Income of another person to withhold and pay to the col lector of Internal revenuo the amount of Income tax due from such person.

Kxulnnntlon by UnilerTvond. "In forming this additional Impost," said Chairman Underwood In his report, "the aim has been made to provide not only a source of revenue, but also a means of redressing In some measure the unequal tax burdens which result from the practloo of basing the federal In- Come entirely upon customs and Internal revenuo duties. This Is a system of taxa tion which inevitably throws the burden of supporting the government upon the shoulders of the consumers. It corre spondingly exempts the men of larger Income, whose consumption of the ordi nary necessaries of life Is subject to tariff taxation In a far less Aggregate degree than Is that of smaller Incomo earners, who expend the greater propor tion of their resources for the ordinary necetsltles-of life." Tho bill provides that all taxable per sons shall be notified of the amount for which they are liable under the law on or before the first day of July of each yVare.nd assessments bo paid on ftr be fore July 30. For delay In fnaklng pay ment, ithrrten days after notice, there shali be added tho" sum of S per cent oh the amount of tax unpaid and Interest at tie rate of 1 per cent a month from th tlmo the tax fell due. Tho corporation tax provision, It Is di rected, shall be computed upon Income for tho year ending December 31, 1913, and for each culondnr year thereafter. It Is provided, however, that corpora tions may dcslgnato the last day of any month as the day of tho closing of the fiscal year and may have tho tax com puted on the basis of net Incomo onding on Its designated day. All labor, agricul tural, , horticultural, fraternal, rollgtous and"mutual societies are made exempt from this proposed tax.

April 7.-Re-moval of all tariff from mtrtiy articles of food and clothing; broad reductions In the rates of duty on all necessaries of life; an Increase of tariff on many lux urlcK, ana a new income tax that would touch the pocket of every American cltl xen whose net Income exceeds tl.000, are the striking features of the new demo cratic tariff revision bill presented today to the house.

The new rates are estimated to reduce the customs revenue approximately fSO,000,000 a year. This is expected to be made up by the Income tax. Protection to the farmer would be cut throughout by more than 60 per cent In an effort tn reduce the cost of food. Protection to the steel and implement manufacturer would be cut by fully as wide a margin. The free wool proposal, backed by President Wilson and accepted by the house committee, Is expected to provoke a severe fight within the democratic ranks of both houses. It had not be come clear today whether the democratic opponents of free wool and free sugar In the senate would be able to force a com promise on one or both of these pro visions. The decision to make a gradual reduc tion In the sugar tariff was reached by tho president and house committee before Louisiana cane growers declined to ao cept a compromise that would have established a 1 cent per pound tariff for three years, with free sugar In 1918. The Incomo tax, which will transfer In direct taxes levied through the tariff Into a direct tax upon the Incomes of Indi vidual citizens and corporations, exempts all sums below $4,000. Income nnd Corporation Taxes. Incomes In excess of that amount will pay 1 per cent tax up to 320,000, 3 per cent from WO.000 to t50,009, 8 per cent from (50,000 to $100,000 and 4 per cent above that figure. The present corporation tax, levying 1 per cent on corporation Incomes above $5,000, would be retained aa part of the Income tax. To encourage trade with foreign coun tries, the bill would reverse the maximum and minimum provision ot the present law. The new tariff rates would be the maximum tariff, and the president would be given authority to negotiate reciprocity treattes and make concessions to coun tries that grant favors to American ex ports. In a statement accompanying the bill, Chairman Underwood said the measure. In the oplnton ot Its makers, would re vise the tariff "to a basis of legitimate competition, such as will afford a whole some Influence on our commerce, bring tellef to the people In the matter ot the. nign cost or living, ana at tne same time woik no detriment to properly conducted manufacturing Industries." "In Its tariff revision work the com mittee has kept In mind," he said, "th distinction between the necessities and the luxuries of life, reducing the tariff burdens on the necessities to the lowest points commensurate with revenue re quirements and making the luxuries of life bear their proportion of the tariff itsponslbllltles. Many Items of manu facture ' controlled by monopolies have been placed on the tree list." The Persistent and Judicious Use of Newspaper Advertising la the Road to Business Success. MANY BILLS RUSHED INTO CONGRESS FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION (Continued from Page One.) ever, had ben sworn In on Inauguration day. The strict formality that had charac terized the opening of congress for years was shattered when a young man In the gallery of the senate tried to halt a recess of that body by cries of Mr. Chairman." Galleries were filled with women suffragists and for a time It was thought tho demonstration was part of the suffrage advance upon congress. The man, who gave his name as George B. Clemmen of Monroe, N. C, said he waa a "herald of the prince of peace." Vice President Marshall called the ien ate to order and administered the oath to Senators-elect Sherman of Illinois -and Goff of West Virginia. C'lnrk Chosen Speaker. The republicans ,had nominated Repre sentative Mann as their candidate for speaker and the progressive had nomi nated Representative Victor Murdock, with a full ticket for officers of 'he house. Speaker Clark received 271 votes; James R. Mann of Illinois, republican, rccetved 111 votes, and Victor Murdock of Kan sas, progressive, received 18 votes. Four progressive republican Voted for Rep resentative Cooper of Wisconsin. Mr. Cooper voted for Representative Nelson of Minnesota. For the first time in eighteen years, congress assembles with both Its branches under control of the democrats. Familiar Faces Ttllcalnar. Scores of familiar faces are' missing In both houses. In the house, the complete change In the seating arrangements had made even old members strangers to the scene. In place of the mahogany desks and swivel chairs to which members had clung for many years, stiff rows of leather upholstered benches, aranged In seml-clroles, filled the house chamber. The new bench system, somewhat simi lar to that of the British House of Com mons, gives no desk space at which mem bers can write or work, while In the house chamber. New members dominate the larger houso In the new congress. The Increase of tho membership of the house from 396 to 43S, which became effective, March 4, brought In a larger proportion of new members than have appeared In any con gress of recent years; and made more conspicuous the absence of old-time lead ers, such as Former Speaker Cannon, John DaUel of Pennsylvania, Nicholas Longworth of Ohio, Samuel W. McCall of Massachusetts, E. J. Hill of Connecti cut, and William B. McKlnley of Illinois. The work before congress today con sisted chiefly of organisation business. Tho sonate had completed Us organization early In March, during the special session nailed to act on President Wilson's ap pointments. Vice President Marshall served his early apprenticeship us a pre siding officer and tho democratic leaders took charge of tho senate, elected officers and chose committees at that session, and were prepared for general legislative Work today. Tho organization of ' the house waa expected to consume all of today's session of that body. ' Messnoje Comes Tomorrow. president Wilson's message will be 'read to1 both houses shortly after the begin ning of the session tomon-ow. In his call summoning the oxtraordlnarj session of; congress the president Old not specify the purpose for which it waa to be con vened. Members of congress who had talked with the executive expected that the message prepared to greet the new congress would urge action upon the tariff as the first duty of tho democratic majorities In the two houses, but would leave the way open for action on the cur rency and other pressing matters If It Is decided later to taka them up. Democratic majorities in both houso and senate are considered strong enough to carry through the program of tariff revision determined upon by recent con ferences. WILSON WELLREAD MESSAGE (Continued from Page One.) bodies meet In Joint session only once fivery four years, and then for the per functory ceremony of canvassing the elec toral vote. President Wilson Intends to slip quietly away from the White House with his message In his pocket and attended by probably only one secret service man, ride to his office almost Immediately. Some of the president's friends say he may be expected to delver alt his prin cipal messages to congress tn the same way as his term goes on. President Wilson was asked today what motive Impelled him to renew custom of a century ago. "The reasons are very simple," he said. "I think that It Is the only dignified way tor the president to address the houses at the opening of the session. Instead of sending the address up by messenger and letting the clerk read It perfunc torily tn the familiar clerk's tone of voice. I thought that the dignified and natural thing was to read it. It Is a precedent, which It Is true has bean dis continued a long time, but which is a very respectable precedent." The president was asked If he expected that there would be answers from con gress, as there had been In the old days, but ht smilingly replied that the only re sponse he looked for waa the legislative answer. The president explained that he In tended to make his visit as simple as pos sible. He said that he had asked Sen ator Kern and Leader Underwood of the house It It would be agreeable tor him to come and they both had said that It would and In this they represented the feeling of their colleagues. A concurrent resolution was Introduced In the house today by Mr. Undirwood, and later called up tn the senatu, to pro vide for the Joint session In 'ho house chamber tomorrow. The president will arrive at the capltol about 1 o'clock to. morrow. He will he escorted to Speaker Clark's office and there will be received by the vice president," speaker .nd other officers of both houses. A committee of two members' will be appointed from the senate and house to escort the president to the speaker's rostrum tn the house. Speaker Clark probably will Introduce the president to the Joint session. Vic President Marshall will sit on tho ros trum. The president was asked If he would take his cabinet with htm tomorrow, a President John Adams did. Mr. Wilson laughingly remarked that thsre were then only three cabinet members and that he would not renew that precedent. 11a said he had not decided what message here after he would read to congress. He would ba guided, he said, by thalr Im GERMANY NEEDSLARGE ARMY Chancellor Says Victory of Balkans Creates New Conditions. PEAKS FRANCE AND RUSSIA Growth of Pnn-Slnrlsm nnd Warlike Spirit In Frnnce, lie Harm, Call for Increase In Mllltarr Establishment. BERLIN, April 7.-"If outsido forces should threaten us Germany must stand ready with Its last man," dcclar-d Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, the" Imperial chancellor, In Parliament today while submitting the government's bills for In creasing the army and for providing new forms of taxation. His speech waa a striking one, although he qualified his warning with the admission that "a Euro, pean conflagration In all probability will not occur." "The good Intentions of the French and Russian governments are beyond ques tion." declared the chancellor, "but Ger many must reckon with the great forcu of modern public opinion which in the form of French warlike patriotism anU Russian Pah-Slavism threatens the peac of the world against the wisheu of tho great masses of both peoples." It was noteworthy that in (h. t,u ccllor's speech Great Britain was referred to only as a paclflo factor. Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, although Indicating by his manner that he had little belief In the practicability of hn made by the British admiralty for a years naval holiday, said Germany was willing to consider concrete proposals from the British government. Lnrirrr Army Needed.' The Imperial chancellor speech by pointing out that the strength oi ma army had not kept pace with the growth of the German nation, and aakM: "Can Germany allow itself tho luxury of dispensing with tens of thousands ot trained soldiers?" "The conditions of Europe," he contin Ued, "have been radically changed by the Balkan war, which has substituted tor the passive European Turkey other state of feverish political activity. In all this there are factors of progress Indeed, but should a great European conflagration between Germanism and Pan-Slavism come this change would alter the balance In Germany's disfavor. This does not alter the fact that I consider this con flict probably will be avoided." The chancellor declared he had made special efforts since assuming ofllco to cultivate good relations with Russia, and believed the Russian ruler and the Rus sian ministers reciprocated. "But the events of the war," he added, "have greatly strengthened the Pan Slavic current In Russia, and this Is a danger for peace." Will Stand hy Anstrln. Germany, the chancellor said, 'has been working to mitigate the Austro Ruaslan tension, "but should war break out, the German empire would unhesi tatingly fight beside Its ally." The chancellor then reiterated Prince Bismarck's saying: "If the French wait for us to uttacK them they, will watt forever," and con cluded that there was every reason to believe the present French government washed to llvo In peace with Germany, and "that the French masses wished.it, too." But the warlike party In France, he concluded, 'Is counting 6n the supcrl orlty -of the French army In the DeV-el that German cannon and military in structors have been tried and found want ing by Turkey, on the Russian alliance and perhaps on British assistance. Ger many cannot Ignore the aspirations or such French and Pan-Slavic circles. ' The Persistent and Judicious Use of Newspaper Advertising is the Road to Business Success.

Four firemen were Injured, two of them probably fatally, In fighting a fire which today destroyed beef house No. 2 of Armour & Co. In the Union Stock Yards. The loss on the building and its contents Is estimated at $500,000. The fire, because of the low water pres sure, gained rapid headway and after being apparently under control for a short time, broko out again in several places following a number of explosions believed to have been caused by the blow ing out of ammonia tanks.
