sauall on the floor of the House this

The Yuction started when Representa-

privilege, to discharge the judiciary com.
mIttee of the House from the considera-
ton OF his bill-prohfbiting members OF
Congress from receiving gifts or COM

Aalby Answers Sharply.
A half dozen members of the judiciary
committee simultaneously bounced to
their feet. Representative MaIby Of
New York caught the Speakers eye He
denounced the Randell resolution, and
declared it was nothing but an attempt
at cheap notoriety.''
Mr.. Randell didn't like this for a lit
tie bit. He demanded that the chair
call Mr.. Malby TO order.
Then he left his seat and walked
around in the we'll in front of the
Speakers desk. He drew near the

Malby yelled back.

The Speaker instructed MIR. Malby to
proceed in order. Mr.. Malby Gained

Insult, Says Parker.
He insisted, despite Mr.. Randelrs at

Some survivors tell of falling ona and
two stories before the awful crash died

safety. The majority sought safety by
rushing to the front of the building, fac

the fact that the death list does not
run into the hundreds. for there were

One ladder was hoisted, reaching to
the fourth floor, on which the bindery
was located. 1t came between two WIN
dows. From one of these a little girl
crept along the coping until she could
reach the ladder. Grasping a rung with
one hand and placing a foot on another
size lent a helping hand to eight girls
twice her size. When all the girls had
reached the ladder and had been brought
down in safety she came down alone. BY

was pouring from the front windows. The
little girl tainted when she reached the

URGE BILL TO TAX TRUST
COMPANIES LIKE BANKS,
fFroln . star Correspondent.

TRENTON, March 24.--Representa-
municipalities We're here yesterday
to ask the Eous. judiciary committee
to report favorably Assemblyman Sui
liNan's bill 10 place trust companies on
a par with national banks for taxation
purposes and to limit all tax exemptions
for investments in n~on-taxable secur-
tiles to a sum not to exceed the surplus
and undivided profits
In other words. the banks and trust
companies under the sullivan bill
would have to pay taxes locally on
ratables equal AT least 10 their capital
ization. 1t establishes the principle
that for taxation purposes a share of
bank stock must be assessed at not less
than its par value. Another proviso re-.
auires the banks TO pay the tax on their
personal property and to collect from
dividends accruing to the stockholders.
The Sullivan bill was prepared by
City Attorney Herbert Boggs, of New
ark. MIR. Boggs in supporting the bill
said:
Under the present law we have beeli
unable to include any material amount
Of bank stock in our ratables. So
heavily do the national banks invest in
n~on-taxable securities that we collect
taxes on u very small value. The North
Ward Bank. Tor instance, showed ex-
cinptions in it's return to the Newark
Tax Board that made its stocks tax
able value s2.e1 per share, and they
kicked at that. The market value Of
The stock is $3.50.
Mr.. Tioggs offered as another example
the Fidelity Trust Company, Of New
ark, with stock quoted at $500 per
share. a market value of $4,000, 900 out
standing. The Fidelity, he said. had
Paid voluntarily on a comparatively
small percentage of that colossal
amount.

days ago, will be scrutinized by the
jurors, and it nay be that. using then.
