r,rolc. the unthroned boss has been
particularly mute concerning his own
affairs.
Few besides Cassidy's most intimate
friends knew that he had been petit
tioning for restoration 70 citizen
shin. II was not until Assemblyman
Thomas A. McWhinney handed him the
document in the Rockaway City Club
last Thursday night that the public at
large knew that such action had even
tccn considered by the Governor.
Secrecy in Transaction
Tho same secrecy enshrouded the
transaction in Albany. No announce
mcnt of the restoration was made until
Inquiries were started concerning u
Yesterday. Governor Whitman had left
the capital by the time the news had
gone abroad, and no statement could be
obtained from linn.
Political wiscacres limited yesterday
that the fact that Queens returned a
majority for Whitman last fall may
have influenced Cassidy's chances. In
defence Of tho action IL was said that
the Governor was merely following out
q policy. adopted a year ago, OF re-
etoring citizenship 20 cX-convicts after
they had been out Of Jail for year OF
t%O.
Since his release from jail Cassidy
has been gradually regaining the pres.
tigc lost ir his dominion. Many OF
the members of his old organization
have remained faithful to him through
out an his misfortures. and others have
returned To- their old allegiance m the
last few months.
When H. became known in Queens
that Curly joe was a citizen again
the former boss's home at Far Rocka-
way was besiegcd with telephone calls
and visits Of congratulation. Cassidy
was not at home during the afternoon.

Fifth Avenue Home Is
Opened for Second
Large Dinner
STANDARDS SOUGHT
FOR WELFARE WORK
College Heads and Pro-
feSSorS Hear of Indus
trial AmeriCanizatiOn

Mr.. and Mrs. Vincent Aston enter
tanned at dinner in their Fifth Avenue
home last night 100 Of the leading en-
Glnocrs, engineering professors and
college presidents Of the East and Mid
die West.
The immigration committee OF the
United States Chamber Of Commerce,
which has inaugurated the industrial
Americanization" movement, was joint
host with Mr.. and Mrs. Astor. Il was
this question OF industrial Americana
zation that the guests were invited to
discuss.
Not since Mr.. and Mrs. Astor moved
into the old Astor home at $40 Fifth
Avenue, have they been the hosts at
such an elaborate function as last
evenings. The big dining room and
adjoining library or the FIRST floor were
thrown together to accommodate the
tables at which the guests were seated.
Two Women Present
Only two women. aside from Mrs.
Aston. were prcscnt at the dinner Miss
Maudc Wctmore. daughter of cX-Scu-
ator George Peabody Wetmorc, Of
Rhode Island, and chairman Of the
women's department Of the National
Civic Federation, and Mrs William
Bayard Cutting, widow Of the lawyer
and railroad executive and sistcr-in-law
Of r. Fulton Cutting
The dinner was the second of a
series of three Amcricanization dinners
being given this winter by Mr.. and
Mrs. Aston. The first was given on No
vembcr Ii, when nearly q hundred in
dustrial leaders Of the country gath
cred in the Aston home 10 discuss in
dustrial preparedness and 20 lay plans
for playing their part in the Amcri-
canization of immigrants The third
OF the series probably Will be rendered
by the Astors early in March.
Last night'o dinner was distinctly in
the domain of "uplft work. Its pur-
pose was announced to the guests by
Ganot Dunn, president Of the j. G..
White Engineering Company, who pre-
sided in the absence Of Frank Trum-
bull, chairman of the Railway Man
ayers Executive Committee
of the present day movement toward
the illumination of industry" said
Mr.. Dunn. 1T aims to make what is
commonly called welfare work not
an exercise Of the employers 'paternal-
ISM but a Legitimate part Of business
organization everywhere.
No Welfare Agreement
There are now innumerable kinds
Of welfare work But there is no
agreement among American employers
as TO where the organization of the
human side OF industry really belongs.
And there are absolutely no standards
for it,
What we need to do is to extend
scientific methods TO the human phases
Of industrial organization, and thus
give welfare work a definite place and
definite standards.
"The engineer. as the consulting
mind of industry, must be the leader
in this work. It is he who determines
the site of the plant and its construc.
ton. Inside the plant the engineer,
again, has much to do with efficiency
methods. No efficiency methods that
are unrelated 10 the man in the plant
can prosper permanently"

EXCESS PROFITS
TAX BILL FRAMED
$685. 100000. To Be Raised
in That Way-Bond Issue
of $2S9,000,000

Washington, Jan. ia tentative
draft Of the Administration revenue
bill was completed to-day by a House
ways and means subcommittee. IL
will be laid before Democratic mem
bers Of the full committee Monday and
a caucus Of the House Democrats may
be called some time next week to APP
prove it as a party measure.
The bill proposes TO raise S236,O0O,-
GOO from a tax on excess profits OF
business and increased rates on in
heritances. and s2S9,OO0,OO0 from a
bond issue. A provision may be in
corporated later to increase 70 $780,
100000 the maximum amount of Ger
tificates of Indebtedness which may be
issued to tide the treasury over until
the new taxes come IN. The Treasury
now has authority 70 issue not eX-
ceeding S20O.0OO000 of these certifi-
Gates. limited to year and to 3 per
cent interest.
Plan for Tax on Profits
In levying the excess profits tax Of
s per cent upon all profits of corpora
tons and copartnerships in excess Of
per cent of capitalization, the bill
defines capitalization as including
actual money paid in. actual property
used or owned. and all surplus and un-
divided profits. Concerns having an
nual profits Of $4,000 or less would be
exempt. as would profits derived from
agriculture or from solely personal
services. such as the income of profess
sional men.
The subcommittee framing the bill,
which comprised Representatives
Kitchin, Rainey and Hull. exempted
agriculture on the ground that the
farmer already is taxed heavily enough
and that il is impossible to tell how
much a farmer has invested IN ms
business. Excess profits laws m
France. Russia. Great Britain ana
Italy exempt agriculture and personal
services.
Foreign Corporations to Pay
A foreign corporation doing business
in the United States would be required
70 nav the excess profits tax the same
as a domestic concern, but only on the
business done here. The income tax
methods of collection and assessment
would be applied in collections OF the
new tax. The inheritance tax m
creases would raise the rate on me
minimum inheritances now taXaoIe
from to p per cent and would levy
q new rate Of 10 per cent on those OF
more than s15,000,000.
