11 reasc the limit of the proposed in?
come tax on larger Incomes failed In
the senate today when Senators Do
tah. Bristol* and Cummins led an ef?
fort to amend the Income tax section
of the Democratic tariff bill.
Bonator Borah offered an amend
meat Increasing the graduated tax oti
larger Incomes until it would have
reached I per cent ??n those gbovi
lioo.oou ? year. The Democrat?,
aided by li Republicans, defeated the
amendment, 47 to 17.
A RK re radical provision With a
maximum tax of 10 per cent on in
comos of 1100,000 or more will i"
submitted by Senator Drlstow to?
morrow.
In the Ponding bill, the rates on
bjkrgef incomes are:
One per cent op Incomes from
$20,000 to $30.000; I per cent from
$30,000 to $100,000; and 8 per cent
On more than $100,000.
Beantor Borah proposed the follow?
ing additional tax:
One per cent on Incomes from $10,
000 to $$0,000j | per cent from $80,?
000 to $50.(?00; :i per cent from $50,
00 to $80,000; 4 per cent from $10,
o?m) to $100,000, and I per cent on
more than $100,OOo.
Democrats roted solidly against the
increase.
The demaml for an increase of the
tax on hlK Incomes was accompanied
by the declaration that men with
targe Incomes would escape their just
share of the tax, under the bill.
The man with the small Income
uiways pays his tax more completely,"
said Senator Hoiuh. "than does the
man with the large Income. it is
much easier to lind all the $8,000 in?
comes than to lind all the $50,000 in?
comes. A tax of 1 to 5 per cent on
the man with $100,000 will not In
Convenience him more than the 1 per
cent ta\ will Inconvenience the man
with $5.000.
Senator Williams, who had ? harre
of the income tax provisions for the
Democratic side, insisted that the
committee had gone slowly and cau?
tiously In Inaugurating the new form
of direct taxation.
'?\\'e thought it well now to < <P

he said. "HxperlenCO alone Will show

When the senate adjourned tonight.
it had loo or more paragraphs cov?

These are scattered throughout the

that he expected t<? complete the in?

the measure before returning to the
tariff rates still in dispute. In the

Shall it take a step now that may

Tins question will come up In th"
Episcopal General Convention, meet?
ing in this city In October, it la not
bo worded but it is so regarded. Bish?
op Tattle, of Missouri, has so char?
acterised it. and declared himself op?
posed to the s? heme, and some years
ago in a previous general convention
Lev. Dr. \Y. M. Qrosvenor, of tln^
city, a deputy from New York, shout?
ed out the Inquiry when the u "heinc
was up:
"Will he be Leo xiv, or Plus :.iv'
Everybody laughed and the plan for
the mom< nt was dead. It is coming
Up again, and a good many Ep'.v o?
pal leaders think it will pass.
Presbyterians are commissioning

ize their National Council Modera?
tor to do the same. Episcopalians
gi\c that bishop who has been long?
est In bishops orders the work of
ill Presiding Bishop, Which does not
at all mean that he shall preside, for
the House of bishops elect another
bishop to do that, but that he shall
represent the Episcopal Church in
many functions of its work.
The trouble is that it is usually
found that the senior bishop is an
old man. Sometimes he Is not lifted,
whether old or young, to discharge
the dilti? s. Besides, it is desired by
many to put upon him many mole
duties, making him head of the great
official societies, like missions, relig?
ious education and the rest. Such of?
fice means big pay, big staff of help?
ers, an official residence, and some
Profess not to know what it ma\
mean in the course of time.
The present senior Episcopal bish?
op is Kt Rev, Dr. Daniel S. Tuttle,
of Missouri. Although 7 1 years of
age, he la vigorous and able, and will
be one of the great figures of the con
vcntlon in this city six weeks hence.
It is not proposed to displace him.
The three bishops next In rank to him
are Rishop Nibs, of New Hampshire;
BIShoP Scarborough, Of New .Jersey.
and Bishop Gurrett, of Texas. AH
are past 80 years <>t' age. Five or six
next in rank arc much past Ta.
A law will be brought forward in
tili? convention making the office
elective, and there Is talk <>f locating
a young and vigorous bishop as lo ad
of all at Washington. From there he
is to manag?' many vast interests. \[v
will be free from local duties, and
will gi\c all of his time to general
ones. A somewhat similar proposi?
tion Is made by Congregatlonallsts In
the selection of a secretary of their
national council. While far apart In
policy, both bodies arc confronted by
the same needs, an official adminis?
trator, and both are talking about
electing such officers.
Bishop Tittle, the present presid?
ing bishop Is out with a statement In
opposition to the sein inc. He points
out the ?langer as he sees it. He
says:
"This would be a new departure.
Dnngei lurks along the line ??f its de?
velopment. The bishop elected would
be a young man. He would be s
strong man. probably. It were a
strange thing If he war?- without am?
bition. It were a stranger thing ii
he were to fail to see manifold op?
portunities to be seised for the good
oi the church. It he did n??t selxe
them his self-restraint would take
on quite the shape of Belf-reproach.
It he did selxe them, up rises a
bristling army of opposition,
"The scheme looks to the Introduc?
ing of a monurchial plan which in
time might take on a Ilildebrandlan
touch and t?m?-."
Bishop Tuttle then points out the
expenso?110,000 a year at bast
with a pension later on, and adds
that with many other taxes upon
Christian people this one muy, he
thinks, be decided without ?langer or
damage.

WASHINGTON OFFICIALS HOPE

Wilson's Message to Congress to lie
Read ait Noon Today, l idos Huerta
Concedes to Proposals Dolore That
Time?Little Hope for Present Ad?
ministration in Mexico.
Washington, Aug. 26.?The dilato?
ry attitude of ihn Huerta government
today gave administration officlaLi
hope that concessions might he ma<*e
to the American proposals lor peace
in Mexico, hut Indications pointed to
a final ending of negotiations tomor?
row when President Wilson is sched?
uled to read his message to both
houses of congress. He will define
the policy which he thinks the United
States should pursue toward its
Southern neighbor.
A 24-hour postponement of th>'
presentation of the message which
was to have been read today was
agreed to alter a joint request by
Frederlco Gam boa, Mexican foreign
minister, and John Lind. It follow?
ed repeated efforts on the part of
the Huerta officials to have the read?
ing of the document deferred inde?
finitely.
Mr. Hind left the Mexican capital
early today for Vera Crux.
Mr. Hind has made certain supple-'
mentary suggestions to Senor Gam-1
boa, constituting no departure from
the fundamentals of the American]
note. The original proposals were
announced as follows:
1. Cessation of hostilities and u
definite armistice.
2. An early and free election.
Huerta to hind himself not to
he a candidate.
4. Agreement by all parties to abide
by the results of the election.
Mr. Lind Informed Senor Gamboa
that he would stop in Vera Cruz and
could he reached there in case there
should be any reply to bis last sug?
gestions. For several days Senor
Gamboa ami Mr. Lind have been
fencing.
Officials deny that Mr. Lind hau
gohe to Vera Cruz to avoid any em?
barrassment in the Mexican capital
following the publication there of
President Wilson's message. it was
said that Mr. Lind, having virtually
concluded his mission, went to Vera
Crui chiefly to impress upon the
Mexican administration that tomor?
row noon positively was the last mo?
ment the United states would wait
before proclaiming to the world the
position it has taken towards the
I luerta government.
Discussion today centred chiefly on
tin absence of any demand for the
Immediate retirement of Huerta,
which generally had been supposed is
part of the American note. It was
suggested by officials, however, that
this government could not logically
call upon Huerta to resign a post
which it never recognised him as
legally holding.
So far as the United States is con?
cerned Huerta is not the constitution?
ally chosen provisional president of
Mexico because of the Irregularities
attending Iiis assumption of office.
The Washington government's in?
sistence that Huerta eliminate him?
self from the presidential race If an
? lection is held is based on his own
promise contained In official reports
that he would not be a candidate.
While administration olliciaks re?
gret they were unsuccessful in bring"
Ing things to a definite point through
the Lind negotiations, information,
official and unofficial, indicates to
them that the Huerta government can
not last much longer.
With foreign governments support?
ing the American policy, there is little
hope, according to the official view
here, for the Huerta government to
I obtain any funds abroad to pay its
army or meet running expenses).
This was a clay of keen and un?
usual tension in official circles. The
postponement of the message read?
ing with the possibility that an
eleventh hour Concession might be
made, developed a general feeling of
anxiety lor news from the Mexican
I capital. The only message from Mr.
I Lind received up to a late hour to
I night merely reported his departure
I from Mexico City for Vera Cruz.
' President Wilson and his family
i
attendi d a play, but the president
kept In touch with the White House
Secretary Bryan spent the evening at
his home and no announcements
I were made at any of the government
I departments.
Good Reason for fits r.ntliustnsm.
When n man has suffered for sev?
eral days with colic, diarrhoea or
other form of bowel complaint and is
then cured sound and well by one or
two doses of Chamberlain*! Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Itemedy, as
i- often the case, It is but natural that
he should be enthusiastic In his praise
of the remedy, and especially is this
the case of n severe attack when Ife
s threatened. Try it when In need
of irch a remedy. It never fails. Sold

CATTLEMAN IN HAH.
American Hanch Owner Is Thrown
Into Jail.
Douglas, Ariz., Aug. 25.?Stuart
Hunt, an American ranch owner and
cattieman of Sonora, with two of his
cowboys, w as arrested today at Front -
eras, charged with being an enemy of
the Sonora State government. They
were imprisoned by order of Jose May
torena, the insurgent governor.
Hunt was arrested because of a
catle deal. He is charged with having
bought from a wealthy Mexican fed?
eral sympathizer cattle that had been
seized by the State government. The
American's offense consisted in not
dealing with the State government
direct. American cattlemen on both
sides of the frontier have taken up
the question with constitutionalist
leaders in an effort to effect Hunt's
release.
LIND TO LEAVE M FX ICO.
Tells Ciamboa Goodbye? Nothing In
Regard to Resumption of Relations.
Mexico City, Aug. 2 5.?President
Wilson's personal representative, John
i
j Lind, will leave the Mexican capital
tomorrow, proceeding to Vera Cruz.
Mr. Lind called on Foreign Minis?
te?- Gamboa today to say good-bye, but
there was nothing in their conversa?
tion regarding the resumption of ne?
gotiations or to indicate that Mexico
would recede from her position.
Mr. Lind will sail from Vera Cruz
at an early date, presumably on a
, battleship. It is believed William
Baynard Hale, who has been in Mexi?
co City in an official capacity, will
