EUGENIA DAVIS TAKES
TROUSSEAU BY FORCE
Gets Clothes From Mothers
Apartment by Aid of Writ
and Marshals.

Mrs. Eugenia Kelly Davis got her trous-
seau yesterday from the apartment Of
her mother, Mrs. Helen NJ. Kelly. ZIG
East Sixty-third street. but It took q
writ OF replevn, An automobile truck, a
climb up nine flights Of stairs and a
broken door to do 1t.
1t wasn't really her trousseau. but
Eugenia Kelly became Mrs. Al Davis
only last Saturday night and she wanted
to get her clothes from her mothers
apartment. Mrs. Kelly wouldn't give
them up hence the writ and everything
else.
Justice Sturges in the Municipal Court
gave Mrs. Davis the writ after her
husband. the former jockey, had de-
posted 1000 bond. Then Marshal Peter
]. Gaffney got the auto truck and Mar
shall John G. Gardner and Tom Troy. che
marshais assistant. who is six feet tall
and weighs 225 pounds. Thus equipped
the party descended on the Kelly home.
They found themselves expected II not
welcome callers--the elevator wouldn't
work and zone Of the haliboys would or
could work It.
The marshals couldn't work Il either,
so Mrs. Davis. the two marshalG and the
heroicaliy proportioned Mr.. Troy had to
climb nine flights OF stairs to the SER
wants entrance of the Kelly apartments.
They found the o locked. The mar
shall fiourished the writ. but not until
Mr.. Troy leaned against the door could
they enter.
Mrs. Kelly was out" so her daughter
pouDced upon piles OF silk and satin
. slippers of green. salmon color. red,
bronze and gray. pink N blue evening
dresses, silk sweaters, suits, sealskins
and other furs. silk stockings OF all
hues and lingerie galore. Three trunks
were Allied and borne OF t%riumphantly In
the auto truck. which Mrs. Davis speeded
onward anxiolsly when she heard that
her mother was expected back In twenty
minutes. The marshal will give her tho
clothes in IA few days unless Mrs. Kelly
proves some are hers.

CABINET UNABLE TO HIT
President Is Said to Favor Strongly Increases in the Tax
on Large Incomes for Defence-Bond Issue
Likely to Be Dropped.

WAsHiNorok, Nov. 23.-President
wilson had a long conference with his
Cabinet to-day In regard 70 the problem
VI raising revenue 70 finance the ma.
tional defence programme n 10 meet
the Treasury deficit.
The discussion was a general one and
did not result In the formulation Of even
a tentative revenue programme for the
Administration. Two fairly definite i'm
pressIons are held In official circles to-
night. however. as to what the President
will do.
First. 1t Is thought probable that the
President will shoulder a measure Of the
responsibility for the revenue
lust as he has done with the national
defence increases. This will be lndi-
Gated By the Incorporation in his forth
coming address to Congress OF a few
general suggestions Az to how the rev.
enue for national defence may be best
raised.
Second. It is believed that the presi-
dent Ia strongly inclined to favor In
~creases In the tax on large incomes as a
partial reliance for meeting the needs
OF the army and navy. This plan has
strong support among the Democratic
leaders OF tho House. More than one
member Of the Ways and Means Com
m!ttee already has urged II on the
President.
Increase seems sure,
Indeed the support OF the move to
force the men OF big INCOMES to bear a
considerable portion of the burden of
taxation necessitated by the war pre-
paredness programme has attained such
extensive proportions that little doubt
exist that some increase over the
present rates will he asked for by the
President. The arguments which ave
Of this scheme centre around the PROPOSE
ton that the men of great incomes have
most to gain In u material way from
the strengthening OF the national de-
fence.
1t Is contended that Il large part of
the wealth along the Atiantic seaboard.
especially In the cities which would be
most vulnerable TO attack In time OF war.
is held by a comparatively small number
of men. These men. 1t In argued. should
pay n proportiorHite share of the cost OF
protection against attack.
Few OF the ADMINISTRATORS advisers
believe, however. the President will rely
on the Increased income tax to provide
for all the revenue needs Of the Govern
men which must be- considered at he
next session Of Congress-.
The Administration faces the necessity
of providing measures ut the next seS-
sion not only to cover the $3.50. 900, 900
Of additional army and navy expendi-
lures to be authorized. but approx
mately $4,000 900 now derived from
the revenue tax and a sum
y~ariously estimated from 3%5. 900. 900 to
500, OO0. 900 to represent the Treasury
deficit anticipated for the end of the
fiscal year.
Secretary McAdoo has already an
nounced that he will recommend to Con
