Some Contentions Surrendered, but Will Agree on Main Features of Amendment, BT ASSOCIATED PRESS. WASHINGTON. May 18. That there will be a sharp contest In the Senate over the proposition to refer to the judiciary committee the amendment to the tariff bill, introduced by Senator Bailey, providing for an Income tax is indicated by a coalition of the Democrats and some of the "progressive Republicans," wbicn became known to-day.

Unquestionably the vote will be close, probably the closest that will occur in the making of the tariff bill. The Democratic strength in the Senate is SI votes, all of which are pledged to support the amendment. Mr. Bailey is counting upon from 16 or 17 Republican votes to secure the adoption of the amendment, and it is said that some of the "progressives" have assured him that they can deliver that many. Fifteen would be sufficient if the Democrats vote solidly for the amendment.

On the other hand the "conservative Republicans" in charge of the tariff bill, Bay they have made some inroads upon the "progressive Republican" camp and that upon the question of referring the whole subject of an income tax to the Judiciary committee for a report at the next regular session they already have 45 votes pledged and they express confi-flence of success. Until the understanding announced today, the Democrats and "progressive Republicans" wre far apart over the form of the bills to be supported. Senators Cummins and Borah, who were the chief advocates among the latter for an income tax amendment, were In favor of a graduated tax according to the size of the incomes and were opposed to a tax on corporations. By surrendering these contentions in order to get a vote, It was said to-day that an agreement would be reached upon the principal features of the Bailey amendment. The plan is to provide for a fiat tax of 2 or 3 per cent upon incomes above $5,000 and upon Incomes of corporations above the figures named.

In order that there shall be no double taxation of Individuals, provision will be made for deductions where the tax upon corporation stock has been paid through the corporation itself. PRESIDENT ELIOT LAYS ROBE OF GFFICt Noteworthy Event Marked by No Interruption of Work at Harvard. BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. CAMBRIDGE, May 18.

With Abbott Lawrence Lowell now will rest the guidance ot the doctor, the young lawyer and the young business man, in his Educational career. The passing of President Eliot to-dav, and the advent of President Lowell tomorrow, while noteworthy in the history of Harvard, was unmarked by interruption in the regular pulsation of college work.

In both instances he spoke a few words of appreciation for the support given him and received their good wishes. President Eliot is understood to have no plans for the future beyond those for a quiet summer In Maine.
