UNDERWOOD PUTS
MANTLE Of SCORN
ON TAX "SLACKER"

Opening the fight Of Southern Dem
ocrats on war proits taxes. Senator
Underwood, Alabama, denounced
money slackers."
81 have no patience with the money
Stacker" he said. The man who at
this hour hesitates to respond with
his dollars to his country's need. the
man who wants special privileges and
special exemptions, Is entitled to no
place in this Republic except one that
will bring on him the contempt and
scorn of the American people.
ut is equitable and just that a
great share OF the burden OF paying
for the war should fall on the great
wealth of the nation. Great wealth
Is prepared to meet q easonable
strain.
"On the other hand, with wartime
costs pyramiding, with the price OF
his daily bread going higher every
hour, II Is more and more difficult for
the plain citizen OF the United States
to raise money to support his family.
Therefore, every dollar OF con-
sumption taxes you put into this bill
falls on family already in distress.
Bill @Ful of IntTieaeIes.S
at would take a PhIIadelphia law
yer to extract from this bill its Intri-
cacies," said Senator Underwood, crftI-
cising the Finance Committees plan.
Nobody can tell what this bill
means. Such q bill should be so
clear there can be no favoritism, no
discrimination IN favor of any set OF
corporations.
Public opinion has forced the COM
mittee to yield this much-that no
man shall make less than per cent
nor more than 10 per cent as q normal
profit They have yielded so far; but
why continue to play favorites? Why
not yield, II they yield at all, on the
main proposition, which is that all
shall pay a war tax that will not
penalize them for being in business?"
Companions Show Inequalities.
Senator Underwood compared taxes
to be paid by numerous companies
under the committee plan to show
Inequalities" in the bill.
Cloture will be attempted by the
leaders Of the Senate Finance Com
mittee in the effort to drive the war
tax bill to an early vote.
Following an attempt by Senator
Simmons to get an agreement on a
time to vote, which was checked By
Senator La Toilette. the Finance Com
mittee leaders decided to bring UP
the motion for cloture tomorrow.
Fifty-nine Senators have signed the
cloture petition and on the basis of
attendance today the motion will Sc
cure the necessary two-thIrds and
will be adopted.
Insurgont Senators, who are insist
ing on higher rates on excess profts
and large incomes, today denounced
the EFFORT to gag the Senate. This
Will be the first time the new cloture
rule has been tried.
Bad blood will be stirred up II the
Finance Committee leaders carry out
their plan to force q vote on cloture
Senators La Toilette, Borah, Kenyon,
and others who want higher rates on
incomes and war profits say the coun-
try will be aroused, and will deem 1t
an effort to shield wealth from high
er taxation.

Wits Intent Toward Son.
AN examination OF the will OF Mr..
Mclean leaves no doubt that he had
in his mind that his only son and heir
should have an important part in the
administration of his estate.
AT the time OF his death he owned
two valuable newspaper properties,
the Washington Post and the Cincin-
natl Enquirer. He directs, in para
graph X, that no sale OF such proper
ties shall be made by his executor or
trustee until the same shall have first
been approved in writing by my
friend. Francis T. Homer. of the city
of Baltimore, provided he
be living, or, II he shall
fail to approve, then without the
written approval OF my said SON.
THE testator further provides that,
as to his newspaper interests in Gin
cinnati. Ohio. they shall be under the
supervision OF said Homer and OF his
son. the plaintiff. The will also pro-
vides that certain employees Of his
Cincinnati paper CThe Enquirer)
shall be retained according to the
Judgment OF the plaintiff and Mr.. Ho-
mer. The will directs that the plain
tiff Is also at all times to be freely
consulted by his executor and, trus-
tee in its representation OF my inter
est with respect to the Washington
Post
Reliance Indicated In Son.
There are other provisions OF the
will which clearly indicate an inten-
tion on the part OF the testator to rely
upon the judgment and discretion OF
his son, the plaintiff. Paragraph XI
Of the will reads as follows:
XXI. have not included my said
son, Edward B. Mclean as an execu-
tor and trustee under this, my last

the existence, as am informed, OF
legal difficulties or obstacles to the
appointment of a beneficiary under a
will to act as a trustee hereunder.
1t is my wish, however. and l so d.

shall consult with my said son in all

management OF my estate. and that

Jack McAuliffe Only Champ
To Retire With His Title

When Freddie Welsh was knocked
out by Benny. Leonard he lost not on
,ly his lightweight crown and its
money-making possibilities, but he
also failed to realize his ambition
to retire an undefeated champion.
Willard has the same ambition, but
II he realizes it, it will not reflect any

to risk it.

 The orchestral strains first sounded at nine o'clock and from that time until ten o'clock the floor was filled with the dancing feet of scores of strange look ing creatures, whose movements were so light and rapid and joyful and whose attire was so weird that one could easily imagine it dream such as char acteriZed the childhood hours spent in Fairyland
 At ten o'clock the judging of the coS- tunes was begun. Two silver cups had been purchased and ordered suitably engraved by the arrangement commit tee. Those representing local business honses whose managers or proprietors had entered the competition for the merchants cup. took places in a line on one side of the hall, while those competing for the individuals cup were stationed on the opposite side. Three disinterested judges, selected during the evening, examined the vari- ous costumes and after much cogitat- ing agreed on the winners.
 The costume which in the opinion of the judges ranked first among those entered by merchants, ana entitled to the merchants cup. was that worn by Benjamin West, of 225 West Adams street. and representing well the busi- ness of the Baswitz Cigar Co. Honor able mention was awarded the Indian costume entered by Graves Indian Shop and most becomingly worn by Miss Julia Doheney, 723 North Seventh street
 In the individual contest the silver cup was awarded Mrs. John Miller, who was cleverly attired in a Teddy bear outfit. Honorable mention in this class was given Miss Nanna Shaw. 1150 East Van Buren. who was quite attractive in q Colonial costume.
 After the judging one hundred and forty couples participated in the grand march, which was elaborate in itself. The program of dances was then begun and nearly all of the dancers remained until che Home, Sweet Home" waltz was played, near the hour of 100 a. m.
 Refreshments were served free throughout the evening.
 Several flashlight pictures were talk en during the evening by Thos. Williams of Williams Studio, 223 East Washing ! ton street, and prints of these may now be obtained at the studio.
 At the regular meeting of the Phoe- nix homestead of the Brotherhood of
 
 faction was manifested as a result of the success of the masquerade ball, and it was decided that at the next regular meeting. Thursday. February 8. a ban uuet would be held when by means of music and speeches, the members can give expression to their enthusiasm. Resolutions thanking the committees. and the newspapers for publicity were ' passed and it was decided that the masquerade ball would be made an annual event of the lodge.

 Te Observer then pours upon the Russian allies what is jocosely calley "taffy''
 Germans have never forgotten that lesson The allies would be lost it recorded in vain them. For Russia above all the moral stands written in letters of fire, and the Tsar and his people are equally resolved that again shall Germany Austria be saved by any defecton deflection of Russian policy. Our great allies in the east have proved magnificent fidelity under uttermost trials, Every underhand influence. every plausible induce ment has been employed again and again to lure Russia into separate peace.

If the allies set against each other by d- plomacy, the military efficacy of the grand alliance could not be restored the would be chloroformed The negotiations could be broken up when Germany was past the economic pinch of the few months and of her next harvests the great triumph in the eas-equvalent, we have repeatedly explained, to complete triumph in the whole warxmight be se- cured.

The United States could do nothing to repair or redress the situation.
