Senator Smith was charged with be
ing a member of the Haskell conven

"Yet," Governor Bleaee said, "because

UNDERWOOD DENOUNCES
DETRACTORS OF RULING
PARTY'S SUCCESS
FINANCES ARE GOOD
Figures Thst Government Will
Come Out Ahead and Even
Better Second Year
(Hy Assuclatcd PreBs >
Washington, Juue 27.-Fortifleil
with ottloiul ligures from the treasury
department. Democratic Leader Un
derwood today told the bouse that
there would be Rp deficit in govern
ment financer and that any predic
tion of one was u dream, haced on
whites springing from political on
tagoninm.
In an analyste of thc government's
financial situation, Mr. Underwood
announced that the total receipts of
the government fer the llscul year
j ending next Tuesday would aggregate
1 $73o.000.000. leaving" a surp??.- of $30.
?000.000 and that willi only u half
lyear'r. operation of Hie income tax.
That did not include Panama expendi
tures, estimated at $35.000.000. Next
year, he declared,, Panama expendi
tures virtually would pass away, and
canal receipts would pay running ex
poneos.
Mr. Underwood's speech was In sup
port of tho Senate's amendment to the
legislative appropriation bill lo la
creare tho treasury fund for collecting
tho income tax from $1,000,000 to $1.
500,000, which thc house Anally agreed,
to. Mr. Underwood explained.the In
crenr.o was for collecting the income
tax fi om persons and corporations
trying to eva-Je it.
More From Tux.
"For next year," ho predicted, "we
can be assured of collecting more
?han $100,000,000 from the income tax,
even if no more proportionately la
collected than wan collected this year,
i and more proportionately will be col
.ff??lfrta.^cre producing In the car
rent year ?22,000,000; more than' the
ntolniatr?tlop bsd" sxpe?ted.
. "There will be no falling off in tho
income tax receipts next year," he
said. "A large proportion ot the In
come accrues and is payable in Jan
uary, a^d February, but the Income tax
becomes operative as to the normal
tax bi' March and, to the super tax or
Additional tax, not until the bill be
came a law in October. Probably one
halt ot the dividende and coupon in
terest on bond3 aro payable In Jan
I uary and Febiuary of each yoar, and
they are not included in this year's
roturas of the income tax. So lt is
, fair to cay that only one half ot the
year has been available in which to
collect the Income tax.
Another Increase.'
"I think the corporation tax this
year will show ah increase of about
$4,000,000 or $5,000,0000 over the last
year of the Payne bill."
' . Representative Payne, of Now York.

COLONEL SUFFERS
ENLARGED SPLEEN
Physician Has Ordered Him To
Take Four Months' Rest
For Malaria
(By Associated Press.)
Oyster Bay, June 27.-Four moptbs
of absolute rest has been prescribed
for Colonel Roosevelt by his physi
cians, -who informed him that he was
suffering from an enlargement of the
spleen and a loss of vitality as a result
of the malarial fever he contracted in
thc South American jungles.
"But In four months the campaign
will be over," the colonel said today.
Consequently hei added, he considered
lt an Impossibility to follow his phy
sicians advice.
Col. Roosevelt has abandoned hie
campaign trip across the continent
which bad been arranged tentatively
for September. He also telegraphed
to. Pittsburgh that would make only
one speech there on Tuesday night.
Two had been arranged.
The chanee in. the ex-presldent's
plans came after an examination
made last night by Dr. Alexander
Lambert of New York? Dr. Lambert
came to Oyster Bay. inspected hin
patient and then told him he must
rest for four months. He urged the
colonel to make no speeches during
the campaign. He explained, the
colonel Bald, that it would require a
longe period to shake off the effects
of the malaria and that If this were
'not accomplished the disease might
became so securely fastened Upon
>lm that he would never recover hts
full strength. lt might even Impair
h la mental vigor, the physician Said.
"I iii ink Dr. Lambert took a gloomy
view." Colonel Roosevelt paid lagbingr
ly, "hut I shall take care of myself as
well as I can and I'll see that the ma
laria does not get settled in my sys
tem."
Upon his return from Pittsburgh,
Col. RoOeevelt ls to see a New.York
throat specialist. He hopes that the
specialist wll take a more optimistic
view of the situation. But, whatever
the physician says ' of the possible
consequences, he is determined, he
?aid, to go on with the campaign in
a limited way.
