Prance, last November.
Two accidents oecur.
With the air full of aeroplanes two
addent* from collision* occurred dur
ing the meet here to-day. At one time
dwenty-two machines were dodging
and swooping over the Betheny Plain.
The air craft gave the appearance of
a flock of giant birds sweeping down
on the field.
The first accident was when the
machine of the Belgian Klnet bum
pedlnto the bl-phane of the hussion
Petrowskl
The latter’s machine fell to the
ground and was badly damaged, though

The two aeroplanes fell to the ground
from a short height and were wreck
ed. Weymann alighted on his feet
and w-a* unhurt while L.tndpalnter
twisted an ankle.
SURGEONS LOCATE BALI
IN SULLIVAN'S HEAD
Memorial hospital surgeons applied
the X-ray Wednesday afternoon to
the head of Lucian M. Sullivan, the
penitentiary guard who shot himself
in the mouth with a pistol at Tdle
wood last SaturdaJ afternoon. The
bail was easily located Just above the
!»ft eye on the side of hig temple.
It will probably be extracted in the
next two or three days.
Sullivan is unable to see out of his
left eye, and the doctors fear he will
loae the sight of It completely. The
orb Is no longer closed, but Sullivan
eays he can see nothing except with
the other eye.
It was said at first that Sutlivan shot
himself twice. He says, however, that
only one chambgg of the weapon was
discharged, and it appears that he
Is about right. At any rate, the doc
tors have been unable to locate the
Mher ball.
Sullivan still Insists that the ahoot
ng was an accident.

WHY RICHEST AMERICANS
DON! WANT INCOME TAX
They Prepare for Poor People to Bear Expenses of Government.
• row Rockefeller Will Be Affected to Tune of $2,
400,000 Per Year.
400,000 Per Year.
searchlight of mathematical analysis
is thrown on some of the great for
tunes which will be affected If the
Income tax bill proposed at Albany
becromse a law, some of the powerful
influence that has been brought to
bear against the passage of the meas
ure can be understood. Calculated in
cold figures. It means that such a for
tune as John 13. Rockefeller is sup
posed to have would produce. If the
full tax were paid on It, about $2,
400.000 a year for the State.
One point in the bill la that all In
comes more than 1200,000 a year pay
the same Income tax. 6 per centum,
the millionaire having an Income of
$200,000 per annum paying the same
proportionate tax as Rockefeller with
his fabulous Income. All Incomes of
less than $200,000 a year are gradu
ated down to an Income tax of 1 per
centum on the little fortune of $2,500
a year.
John 13. Rockefeller's exact fortune
la not known, nor are his Investments
public enough to reveal his exact in
come. Millionaires themselves who
have endeavored to convince the pub
lic that they were not getting as much
money each year as was popularly
supposed, have said that not more
than 6 per cent, from their invest
ments could be counted on, although
In many cases the Incomes are less
and in others considerably greater.
Five I’er Cent, as Basis.
Under the Income tax law the for
tune owners will have to make state
ments showing their exact Incomes
and the sources from which they are
derived, but for purposes of prelim
inary estimate, all fortunes are being
considered to yield 5 per cent. It Is
on this net Income that the tax will
be fixed. Thus, it requires a fortune
of $4,009,000 to produce an Income of
$200,000 a year, the lowest Income on
which the 6 per cent. Income tax rate
can be charged.
Rockefeller Is thought to have ful
ly $809,000,000 Invested in various
ways, and.at 5 per cent, this would
make his Income about $40,000,000 a
year The 6 per cent, rate on this
would yield for the State the $2.
400,000. It Is probable, though, that
when the income tax assessors got
right down to their tax. the Rocke
feller lawyers would be able to con
vince them that this was consider
ably too much for Mr. Rockefeller
to pay. How much this single case
would do toward defraying a part of
the State's expense each year can
readily be seen.
Andrew Carnegie's fortune is an
other one which would be highly pro
ductive of results. He is thought to
have about one-half of what Rocke
feller has, his fortune being variously
estimated at from $800,000,000 to
$400,000,000. Accepting the higher
figure, he would pay the State $1,
200.000 a year, since his Income would
be about $20,000,000.
Women Would Bo Taxed.
There are many women whose
iiuun « vi ntivn
world on account of their great riche*
who would have to pour large sums
Into the State'* coffer* al*o. For ex
ample, Mr*. Jo. H. Harrlman. with an
estimated fortune of 9*0,000,000,
would make out a check each year
for 9240,000, a sum sufficient to estab
lish *ome State Institution or main
tain several of them.
Mr*. Hetty Green, If her residence
could ever be permanently fixed,
would have to go down to her bank
vaults and give up almost the same
amount. With about 9i0.0oy.000 at
her command, Mrs. Green’s yearly In
come ought to be at least 9-1.600,000,
and from the fact that *he Is noto
riously *o clever In money deals, she
would probably produce a great deal
forger Income from such a fortune.
Based on the five per cent. Income,
however, her share of the Income tax
would be 9210,000 a year.
Mr*. Bussell Page would be about
third on the list of women, starting
with a fortune of 9*0.000,000, having
an Income of 93,000,000 and paying
91*0,000 a year Income tax.
Gould Fortune*.
. Other well-known society women
who would help swell the Wtate's In
come are Mrs. Whltelaw Held, Mrs.
John Jacob Astor, MLss Helen Gould,
Mrs. Klltott F. Shepard and Mr*. O.
H. P. Belmont. Mr*. Hamilton McK.
Twombly, with a fortune of about
910.000,000, ought to have an income
of 9500,000, and on this she would be
taxed 930,000 a year. Miss Helen
Gould's tax would be about double
that amo'-nt. and Mrs. Belmont, with
an Income of approximately 9250.000
a year, would send 916.600 a year to
Albany.
Howard Gould, according to his
wife's testimony In their divorce case,
has an Income of 9400,000 a year, re
gardless of the size of his fortune,
which might mean 5 per cent, on 9*,
000,000, or 10 p,- cent, on 94.000.000.
On this Income, however, he would
have to pay the State $24,000 a year,
which Is exactly 96.000 a year less
than he ha* to pay his wife for her
maintenance.
Mrs. Howard Gould, on her court
allowance of 930,000 a year, would
ha%e to pay a tax rate of 3 per cent.
Instead of 6 per cent., because, on the
rate schedule, her Income comes be
tween the 925.000 and 950,000 limits,
where the 3 per cent, rate prevails.
Consequently her check would be
only for 9900'
Small Incomes Taxed.
If Mayor Gaynor's campaign
speeches were a real criterion of his
Income, and he had no ottler means
than his salary of 915,000 a year from
the city, he would pay at the rate of
2 per - ent., hi* salary being within
the 910,000 <>t 925.000 zone, and he
would only have to pay the Plate 9300
a year As a matter of fact, though,
by the time his Income from the Zieg
ler estate and other sources had been
tacked on he would have to pay a
higher tax rate and make his chefck
considerably larger.
HEROIC MESSAGE OF
DOOMED SAKUMA
Submarine No. 5 of the Japanese
Navy, engaging In manoeuvres off
Kure, Japan, late last month, sank
Cp in hi* turret, hi* men dying pain
fully about him. Commander Sakuma,
a type of the Intrepid men who con
trol the submarine, made hi* careful
report of what had happened a* a
warning and guidance to the world
he would aoon leave. This tragic
meaaage. a document which will live
forever In heroic literature. Is as fol- ;
low*:
"I have no excuse or apology for j
having sunk HI* Majeaty’a No. 5 sub- I
marine by my carelessness, but the j
craw of the boat bravely and calmly
discharged their own duties until the
last moment*. We now die for the
sake of our country, but we regret
that the future development of sub
marine* will receive a heavy blow
as a result of the disaster It Is
therefore my hope that you will en
gage In deeper study of the subma
I rine w ithout haring any misapprehen
sion a* to disaster*. If you do this,
we shall then feel no regret at our,
death*.
••We were making a gasoltna dive
when the submarine sank lower than !
was tntanded. and we tried to close j
the sluice valve when the chain un
fortunately snapped. I therefore
closed the valve with my hands, but
it was too late to avert disaster, and j
the sea entered at the rear of the j
boat, which sank with a Mat of 25 ;
degree*.
"It reached the bed of the ocean
on which It stood with a list of 15 i
degrees. As the water submerged the :
electric generator the light was ex- j
ttngutshed and the electric w Ires j
fused. At the same time a noxious
gaa was generated, which made respi- j
ration very difficult.
"It waa about l5 A. M. on April j
15 that the submarine sank. Envoi-,
oped by the noxlou* gas the crew en- j
dot cored to pump out the water.
"When we prepared to take the'
i dive the water In the main tank was j
promptly pumped out. Although the j
gauge was invisible, owing to the elec- j
trie light having failed. It is recog- |
nixed that the water In the main tank
was completely exhausted. The elec- j
trie current has entirely failed ua and 1
tve are also unable to generate chlo- j
rine gas’ Aa a reault. our only hope ;
depends upon the hand Pump.
“I write this by the light coming,
through the conning tower at 11:45
A. M.
“The majority of the crew are sat
urated with water and we feal ex
tremely cold. I had many time* ar- ,
gued that men engaged In submarine j
work must possess the qualities of j
coolness and prudence, and that un- 1
’ leas they act entirely without thought!
of self the development of submarine*;
cannot be effected. People may scoff
at this warning and urge that It • ts j
written on aocount of the disaster,
l but I firmly believe that my statement
will be found correct.
"The depth meter Installed In the
conning tower now Indicates 51 de
grees. We have worked hard to pump
out the water, but the boat remains
in the same position.
"The depth of water here I* be
lieved to be about ten fathoms. The
crew of a submarine should he se
lected from among men of the very
highest ability, aa they will be use
ful at a time of such disaster. For
tunately. my crew are all doing their
best. I am contented with this.
"I am always prepared for death |
when I am away from home. My;
will Is therefore In the locker. Thl* j
la, however, of my private affairs, and j
there Is no necessity to announce It,
here. I only hope Mr. Taguchl will
kindly send It to my father.
“A word to Hla Majesty. I respeet
i
fully beg If uy thHt It is my hope
that Your Majesty will see to It that
tho bereaved families of the crew
are provided for. Tht* is foremost in
my mind.
My respect* and kind regards to
the following persons: Admiral Baron

Admirals Shlmomura and Fuji!, Rear
Admirals Sawa. Yamshlta and Narl

"The air pressure Is becoming so
great that I fee! a* if my ear drums
are breaking—
"It is now 12:SO P. M. My respira
tion has become difficult and more
and more painful—
"I thought I could hold out against

WILL MAKE FIGHT
10 SHOW PICTURES
Tin-rat to Take Matter to Courl
Accepted by Secretary
Sh^w.
NEW YORK, July 7.—Tha right
of communities or statos to bar tha
exhibition of tha moving pictures
of tho Johnoon-Jeffries fight at
Reno will bo tooted in tho courto.
S. Lubin, tho Philadelphia mil
lionaire moving picture man who
heads tho syndicate, aaid to-day:
“We hava apant too much money
not to make a fipht to exhibit our
pioturos,” ho said, “and wa are
confidant that tho sort to prevent
showing them will net suoceed,
when the oourta interpret tho lawa
bearing on tho case. Wa apant up
ward ef (200,000 to got perfeot pie
turea of that fight. We had apo
dal lenxea made and twelve mi -
ohinoa at tha ringaida. After all
that axpanaa and troubla wa do
net moan to yield to our oppo
nsnts without a struggle.”
AOeepta Challenge.
The challenge of the moving pic
ture syndicate In connection with the
intended exhibition of the Reno prise
fights picture# wn a cep ted to-day by
Secretary William Shaw, general sec
retary oof the United Society of Chris
tian Endeavor. Shaw isaued the fol
lowing statement;
“All that has been dona thus
far In the fight to prohibit the
exhibition of moving pictures of
the Reno prise light has been but
preliminary skirmishing for posi
tion, if the syndicate controlling
the plcturee Intends to appeal to
the courts for protection.
“The only reason given Is the
financial one. Tha demoralisation
of our young people, the degrada
tion of manhood and the destruc
tion of life, do not count.
"We accept the challenge, and If
1 know anything about the tem
per of our people, the syndicate
will be In worse condition when
the fight is over than Jeffries ■ was
when his aeconda threw up the
sponge.
"This is to be a fight to the fin
ish and I hope the decent people of
every city and town will get Into
\
It at once. If the authorities are
blind let the people open their
eye*. The men Interested In tne
fight are In the minority while
the women and children are prac
tically unanimous against it. Let
the voice of the mothers be heard
on this question."
His closest friends are urging Jef
fries to undergo an examination by a
special in nervous disorders and also
to have his right eye examined by an
optical expert. The fear the strain
of the fight completely wrecked Jei
rrles nervous system and that It win
be along time before he recovers hi*
health.
