more heavily on the larger incomes.
He suggested a tax as high as 10 per
cent on incomes of 100000 or more.
THE time must come in this coun-
try agreed Senator Borah, when we
can levy the expenditures and extrava-
gances of the country upon the prop
erty of the nation. These vast fortunes

diture."
More than seven-eighths of the reve-

Pottery Tariff Discussed
Concluding his two-day speech SEN
ator Smoot devoted considerable at
tention to the pottery tariffs which he
maintained We're far too lows He de-
elared the transportation question was
a great problem and that there were
crockery rates to Salt Lake City from
England that were lower than the rate
from Ohio. Senator Cummins rose to
refer to a bill introduced by him which
would prohibit railroads and other
carriers from fixing proportional rates
on combined foreign and domestic
hauls lower than domestic rates.
Domestic products said Senator
Cummins, "are in many instances de-
MED adequate protection and they are
compelled to pay from one-third to
one-half more than their foreign rivals
for transportation over their own rail-
roads. Such a condition is absolutely
lndefensible. To remedy this will need
Legislative enactment which l intend
to press with all possible Vigor."

combining their talk to opposition to

NASHVILLE AUTO
PARTY FIRED UPON

Nashville, July 22.-While autoing on the
Harding road nine miles out from Nash
vile tonight an automobile party con-
sisting of Mr.. and Mrs. August Gerst,
William Gerst, Jr., Mrs. Schneider and
the two Misses Schneider, were fired on.
Mrs. Schneider and her two daughters
were sprinkled with birdshot but are not
seriously injured. AS there has been
some feeling aroused here by frequent
automobile accidents, it is thought prob
ably that the person who fired on the
car had some fancied grievance against
autoists Mr.. Gerst had never made the
trip before and had no knowledge of who
his assailant was.

Features of Catastrophe
Some features of the catastrophe was
brought out in a statement by Reed B.
Freeman, president of the company which
operated the burned factory.
Il was in the offices when Mrs. Free
man called to me that there was a fire,
said Freeman. II ran out on the main
floor and saw flames coming from under
the open stairway. Some Of our EN-
ployes are 80 addicted to cigarettes that
smoking, being forbidden in the building,
they went out into the alley every hour
or so for pun. believe one of these,
on returning to work, threw his cigarette
under the stairway
Soon the flames had begun to sweep
throughout the ground floor like a fash.
Mrs Freeman, in the office, had the
telephone receiver down trying to call
the rush of flames that she had to drop
II.
"As we ran out the bodies of girls be-
gan to drop from the upper floor win
dows. They seemed more like sacks OF
flour than human bodies. 1 saw three
girls jump from windows.
1T being a comparatively warm day
all the doors and windows were open and
this provided terrific draft
IF the facts ever become known I be-
fieve 1t will be found that the heads of
the departments showed splendid heroism
in sticking to their posts and directing
the girls. Under the rules Of the fire
drill they were SO instructed. and 1 be-
lieve all stayed at their posts, some to
perish in the flames"
The fire, besides destroying the Bing
hamton Clothing company building,
spread to the federal building burning
the roof off that structure, and damaged
the building of the McKeller Drug COM
pany, Simon O'Neal, and the Binghamton
Motor Car company on Waters street.
Christ church also was scorched. The
total money damage, however. is not ex-
pected to exceed 100000.
At midnight 26 bodies had been re-
covered
