GEORGIA MAN SHOT DY BURGLAR STILL WORKING FOR A TARIFF COMMISSION ol the Senate Lead ers Want Such a Commission OR PETROLEUM TAX Majority of Members of the Senate Finance Committee Have Agreed That n Tax Shall lie Levied Upon Petroleum Which Was Placed I'pon the Free List by the House. (Generally Believed the Amount Will be Fixed at About 25 Per Cent Income Tax Amendments Will Take I p Senate's Time Tills Week Senator Haily Gives Much Time to Subject. ( By Leaned Wire to The Times) Washington, April 26 The ma jority members of tlie senate finance commit tee . have practicnlly agreed that a tax shall be levied upon petrol eum, which was placed upon the free list by the house. The amount of the duty has not yet been decided, but it is generally believed will be about 25 per cent ,' nd valorem, the amount fixed by the ways and means commit tee in the Vreeland amendment, which was defeated by an overwhelming ma jority in the house. Efforts are being made by some of tlie senate leaders to have a provis ion for a tariff commission inserted in the pending measure. Yielding to the pressti ro exerted by Senator Bev eridge for such an amendment, Sena tor Aldrich, chairman of. the finance committee, - has indicated a willing ness to consider a plan for a com mission to consist of three treasury department experts and three com mercial men. There is much senti ment in the senate in favor of a com mission. This phase of the tariff re vision Is likely to iidd an interesting feature to the discussion. Much of the senate's time this week will be devoted to discussion of the several income tax amendments. Sen ator Bailey will devote .his argument almost entirely to the subject. He lias given it much study and is pre pared to answer objections which may be raised to his plan for reducing the duties without interfering with the amount of revenuo provided for the government. The senate convened at noon. Sen ator Taliaferro presented the creden tials of his colleague, Senator Duncan V. Fletcher, recently elected. He was at once sworn in. Senator Overman presented an amendment to the tariff bill propos ing a head tax of $12 on aliens. Dis cussing the amendment he said the purpose of the bill was to protect la bor and raise revenue. His amend ment would do both, he asserted. He estimated that a $12 tax would yield between $6,000,000 and $10,000,000 of revenue annually. There were, he said, 8,500,000 immigrants admitted to the t'nlted States during the last ten years and H, 275, 000 had return ed to their former homes during tljat time. He estimated that upwards of $90,000,000 was sent out of this country annually by these immi grants. The tax, he declared, to be both constitutional and just. Consideration of the tariff bill was then resumed. SHOCKED TO DEATH IN ELECTRIC CHAIR Auburn, N. Y., April 26 Percy Mill, who killed his sweetheart, Chloe Hancock, near Cuba, N. Y., on March IS, 1 90S, was shocked to death lu the electric chair at 6:12 o'clock this morning. Hill went to the chair without giv ing way under the strain but his pale face and twitching month Indicated the tension he was under. Since his arrival here on June 19, 1!I0S, he had never seen a relative, and nobody came to say farewell to htm, 'His chief consolation was the letters written to him by the mother of the girl he killed, who told him she and her family believed be was not In his right mind when he shot her.
