V w W: S J 1LVER BELT Volume III, No. 214 II IS IB POLICE? DANGEEOUSLY WOUNDED MAN IS UNWILLING TO NAME HIS ASSAILANT - IS SLASHED WITH A KNIFE MEXICAN WOMAN SUSPECTED OF- MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON LOCAL BARBER In a cutting affray surrounded by mystery, "Red" Nesbitt, a barber em ployed in the Newport shop, received a dangerous wound early yesterday morning. Just how Nesbitt happened to re ceive tho knifo wound lias not boou determined as yet, as tho injured man has told a number of conflicting stories of the affair, in an ap'pnronl effort to shield the wielder of the knife, whoso actions eamo so near causing; his death. Tho polico arc investigating tho affair, however, and it is probablo that an arrest will bo made within a short time. N'esbitt received a gash fivo inches in length, just above tho lower rib on tho right side. Had tho knife struck tho body of tho injured man an inch lower, a wound which would linvo been of such a sorious nature that the pa tient would have had only a lighting chance of recovery could hardly liuvo been avoided. As his wound was being dressed by Drs. Wales and McPheotcrs, in the of fico of tho former at 3 o'clock yester day morning, Nesbitt, after stating to the Silver licit that lie was cut while attempting to enter ''tho wrong house," said that a Mexican attempt ed to start a quarrel in a lower Broad Ktrect saloon, the name of which lie could not roniember, and that when ho (.truck the man, the latter attempted to tab him with a knife. As ho walked somo distanco from tiie sceao of the stabbing before ho asked for assistance from friends lie met on the street, the exact location of tho affair has not been learned as yet. Nesbitt is said to have been inti mato with a Mexican woman for some timo and it is said, by those who claim to know tho insido details of the af fair, that the woman and not a man wielded tho knifo. Whether or not this assertion is cor rect will probably be determined by tho. police within tho next few hours, as an investigation is now in progress. After his wounds were dressed, Nes bit was able to walk to his homo. Ho declined to take an anaesthetic wliilo some twenty stitches were being taken ni tho wound, exhibiting an unusual amount of coolness as his injuries wcio receiving medical attention. Dr. Wales is of tho opinion that un less the. wound becomes infected, the injured man will recover within a short time. 111 AMERICANS ABE PREYJOR BANDITS EL PASO, July 12.

STRIKING MINERS SHOT DOWN Bf DEPOTIES e-,- PRIC VIVE CENTS . Y y. SE DEFIES IN FAVOR OF INbiE TAX LEW ALMOST UNANIMOUS APPROVAL OF ' NEEDED AMENDMENTS TO CONSTITUTION OPPOSED BY14 REPUBLICANS RATIFICATION OF AMENDMENTS BY STATE LEGISLATURES NOW NECESSARY WASHINGTON, July 12. The houso today adopted by a vote of 317 to It, tiO joint resolutions submitting to ' ' !k various legislatures for ratification the proposed amendment to the consti tution empowering congress to levy au income tax. To a man, the democrats voted for tho resolution, while fourteen republi-' cans cast their votes against it. They were: Allen of Maine, I5archfeld, Dal zell, McCrcary and Wheeler of Penn sylvania, Fordney of Michigan, Gard ner, McCall and Weeks of Massachu setts, Hill and Henry of Connecticut, Olcott and Southwick cf New York and Calderhcad of Kansas. The. debate lasted four hours. "Wo welcome tho conversion of the republican party to another democratic principle,"' was the comment of Clark, the minority leader, who got rousing applause from his side of the chamber for his utterance. An incomo tax, ho maintained, was a democratic prind pic. .'Q"v by cac, the roses fali,"V said, addressing tho republican side, "and one by one you adopt "our plat form.'? He concluded by expressing himself in .'faS'or of increasing tho amount of exemption about 15,000. This led to" a colloquy by Mr. Burke of Pennsylvania. "How far above $5,000, and why J" Burke asked.' "I would fix whatever figure I did fir for the public good," harply an swered Mr. Clark. Declaring that if tho question had been put to him, Clayton of Alabama said he would exempt tho poor man, who is least able to bear the burdens of government and would tax tho multi-millionaires, thereby making the idlo rich pay something to support the fed eral government. "I would," he exclaimed, amid dem ocratic applause, "get your Willio Waldorf Astor, who has millions of in come and lives abroad, in the light. I would get the laird of skibo, or skeebo, or whatever you call it." "Hobo," a voice on tho republican side was heard to say. "I scorn," said James, of Kentucky, favoring the resolution, "a government whoso taxing power provides that Laz arus shall share his crnmbsj but that Dives much not give up his riches." James quoted from an -ante-election speech in which Taft favored n grad-' tinted income tax -and expressed tho view that perhaps a change in the per sonnel of the United States supremo court might effect a reversal of its for mer opinion, holding an incomo tax unconstitutional. "You denouueed Bryan for that," he exclaimed, facing the republican" side. "You said he was assailing the' honor and integrity of tho supreme' court, yet the man who was elevated' to the loftiert station in the nation virtually repeated the same words, that for twclvo years, the democratic party in every platform had uttered." In a fiery speech in support of tho income tax, Robinson of Arkansas ar raigned tho republicans or, as ho charged, "fooling people" before tho last presidential election. He defended Bryan, declared he stood head and shoulders above any other man in pri vate life today. . "There nro men here," remarked., "who owe -William J. Bryan an npol ogy."
