Chicago, Dec. 15.—A special from Wash-
ington to the Record-Herald says:
There is still hope for the poor con-
gressman. The senate is turning the mat-
ter over in its mind, and a strong dis-
position to join the increased salary pro-
cession exists at that end of the capitol.
The senate, less amenable to public senti-
ment, or rather safer from possible pub-
lic wrath, is expected to fix things and
relieve the representatives from respon-
sibility for originating the legislation.
Senator Cullom of Illinois will have
charge of the executive and judicial bill
when it reaches the senate next week,
and he makes no bones of being in favor
of larger salaries than the government
“Now; I don’t want to decry men for
accumulating money. That’s what I call
thrift. We can’t have too much of it in

government wants to impose a tax that
may affect his income is silly and short-
sighted.”'

St. Petersburg, Dec.
tempt on the life of Admiral Dubessoff,
governor general of Moscow, was made
this afternoon, but he escaped with slight
injuries.
Dubessoff was driving at 1 o’clock in
Segiyewskaya street on his way to Tuer-
ids palace, when two men hurled a bomb
at his carriage. It exploded with great
force, but only slightly wounded the ad-
miral.

either side.
who heard the captain’s story, stated this
to be a fact.
After hanging to his boat for while he
was relieved by other boatjnen, who as-
sisted him in keeping ths craft from going
to the bottom.. Several of the utensils
common for an oyster boat to carry were
lost. The custom house license was also
lost in the water, but later was recov-
ered.
The Einesta is a seven-ton boat and the
captain was en route to . west bay for
oysters when the accident happened.
Another accident was barely averted out
in the east end of the channel opposite
the live saving station during the wind
and thunder storm between 4 and 5 o’clock
yesterday afternoon.
An aged lady named Mrs. Waters, who
recently moved to Galveston from Chi-
cago, accompanied by her son yesterday
afternoon hired a boat from the life sav-
ing station and rowed out in the channel
near the jetties to fish. The weather just
after the noon hour was so inviting that
nothing was thought of a possible squall
springing up.
At the time named a hard wind caught
the little boat, and for a while the lady
and her son were in imminent perii. Mem-
bers of the life saving crew noticing their
dilemma hurried to the rescue and reached
the tiny craft not a moment too soon, as
the wind had stirred up a very chappy
sea which threatened to engulf both skiff
and occupants.

INTERCOLLEGIATE REGATTA.
By Associated Press.
Madison, Wis., Dec. 15.—Max Loeb,
secretary of the Wisconsin Alumni as-
sociation and editor of the Alumni Mag-
azine, issued a statement last night in
which he strongly advocates abandon-
ment of the policy of sending crews
east every June to participate in the in-
tercollegiate regatta at Poughkeepsie.
He declares the natural field of ath-
letes for Wisconsin is the middle west,
that an intercollegiate rowing associa-
tion should be organized by such of the
big western universities as have ade-
quate facilities, that a series of rowing
r^ices should be held between crews rep-
resenting the different departments of
the university, that an eastern trip is
expensive, that owing to natural diffi-
culties Wisconsin is unable to acquit
itself credibly and that the advertising
which the university receives by send-
ing crews east is not an adequate re-
turn for the expense and trouble in-
curred.
Coming, as it does, on the eve of the
proposed request by the board of re-
gents for the employment of a crew
coach, the statement of Secretary-
Editor Loeb is causing comment. The
regents will pass on the question of a
coach Tuesday.

New York, Dec. J6.—In the six-day
bicycle race at Madison Square Garden
the night passed uneventually. A few
spurts were made in an endeavor to
gain a round, but beyond stirring up
some excitement among the spectators
these sprints were fruitless. Ten teams
remain in the race, Vandertuyft and

dropped out. The score at 4 a. m. was
as follows:

PROF. WILSON AGAINST IT.
By Associated Press.
New York, Dec. 15.—Woodrow Wilson,
president of Princeton university, came
out against the income tax, and in favor
of proper application of present laws,
rather than the passage of new laws, in
an address at the banquet of the South-
ern society last night.
Prof, Wilson said:
“We have reverence enough for the
laws if it be an evidence of reverence
that we think that making law consists
of legislation. I don’t know that this
country needs any more laws. I think
we have laws enough. What this coun-
try needs ife a more searching process in
tht; application of the laws and less re-
gard for persons in that application.
“It is proposed now that taxes shall be
punitilve; that men shall be punished for
getting rich. A government which has a
discriminating tariff can not in conscience
punish a man for getting rich. In my
opinion there is only one sort of taxa-
tion that is just and that is taxation that
does not discriminate. I know of only
one legitimate object if taxation, and
that is to pay the expense of the govern-
ment.” „
has been paying. The senior Illinois
senator, during his long career in Wash-
ington, has felt the pinch of maintaining
his position on $5000 a year. He repeat-
edly has declared he has been unable to
save any money, and that frequently he
has been forced to deny himself some of
the real necessities of life because of the
condition of his pocketbook.
The plan is to insert a provision in the
bill similar to that knocked o'ut in the
house when the measure comes before
the senate and it is expected that it will
carry. Then, when the committees of the
two houses go into conference over the
bill the senate conferees will insist on
the retention of their amendment and
the house conferees reluctantly will bow
to their insistence in the matter,
record of the house will be all right and
bigger salaries simply will be forced on
the lawmakers who are elected by pop-
ular vote.
The board of city missions of the Meth-
odist church will meet at the Wesley
house next Tuesday at 3.30 p. m. A full
attendance is desired.

Box of 2500 Cigarettes is Found at Man’s
Deathbed.
Hammond, Ind., Dec. 15.—Julius Persky,
45 years old, a cigarette fiend, is dead at
his boarding house in this city, and at
the Inquest which was held over his body
some startling facts were revealed. His
friends say that he smoked on an average
nearly 100 cigarettes
years, and has probably ‘ consumed nearly
half a million of them. He bought them
in 7000 lots. Persky was employed at the
W. B. Conkey plant. He was never with-
out a cigarette in his mouth.
By his deathbed a box of 2500 cigarettes
was found. His death was agonizing. He

Yesterday afternoon during the squall
which sprang up from the west side of the
bay the sloop Einesta, in command of
Capt. Charles Gustofson, was caught by
a gust of wind and capsized in the bay
near the railway drawbridge. Luckily for
; the captain and crew two* other boats
. came to their rescue, and after three
. hours’ laborious work the boat was right-
past two months he had been able to .e(^ an(i t^e water bailed out.
In relating the story to a Tribune re-
porter today Capt. Gustofson stated that
the accident was primarily due to the
manner in which the drawbridge was han-
dled. He says the bridge tender swung
the bridge around and caught his vessel
between the bridge and a house, which
caused him to lose control of the vessel,
and being unable to steer the craft, the
wind ccaught the sails just right to upset
the boat. He further states that there
was no train approaching, and as the bay
there is under the jurisdiction of the fed-
eral government boatmen are allowed
right of way, even if trains must wait on
