MRS. FREY IS FOUND
AT HOME OF HER SON
Mystery of Disappearance Ex-
planned by Sojourn in Pri-
vate Hospital

Mrs. Anna B. Frey. fifty-seven years old.
who disappeared from her home, 43l7 Wya-
1using avenue, on Tuesday morning. was
found late this afternoon at the home of
her son, Theodore Frey, Hollywood street
above Cumberland. She had come there last
night, after having been in a private hos
pital in Green street since Tuesday
The mystery of Mrs. Frey's disappearance,
which has baffed her family and the police,
was explained by the fact that she had
failed to state in a letter which she had
written to her daughter. Mrs. William II.
Childs with whom she lived, that she had
gone to the hospital. Although she mailed
the letter from the hospital. she put her
home address, 4317 Wyausng avenue, at
the top of the letter. Her son-in-law, Mr..
Childs, searched all the public hospitals in
the city, but could find no trace of her.
In despair he went to his brother-in-law' s
home this afternoon and found Mrs. Frey
there.
"I came here because you paid no atten-
tion to the letter | wrote" said she, 80
thought you didn't want me at your house
any more"
II am awful sick" the letter said, 'and
just as soon as / can sit up l will phone tC
you. ! am not able to raise my head up
Come and see me. They got my head al
done up in ice. Did the washerwomar
come? I am writing lying down. They

COMPROMISE WAR
TAX BILL FAVORED
Efforts Under Way in Sen
ate to Force Through New
Revenue Plan
WEALTH'S SHARE HIGHER
WASHINGTON Aur oi

WASHINGTON. Aug. 81.
Efforts are under way today TO force
through compromise on the war tax bill.
The plan subscribed to by many friends of
the committee measure. is as follows:
Elimination of all consumption taxes.
Increase the amount to be raised by the
bill to s2.S5OoOO, 900.
Supply the consumption tax deficit and
the general tax increase by heavier draft
upon incomes and war profits
"A number of us have agreed that public
sentiment demands that n larger share OF
the financial burden of the war be laid
on wealth and that the common people be
relieved of additional taxation on neCes-
saries of life" said Senator King, of Utah,
heretofore supporting the committee bill.
lie predicted passage of the amendment
introduced by Senator Hollis. increasing
surtaNes on incomes to provide 5000, 100000
more than is raised by the committee bill.
Numerous Senators, who yesterday voted
against La Follette's amendment, said they
would support the Hollis plan.
The Hollis amendment accepts The Gerry
provision adopted by the Senate and which
affects incomes of 100000 to $1,000,000
and over. 1t also accepts the Finance Com
rittee schedules on incomes for $4,000 to
$4,000 Between Si2,500 and $4,000 it
adopts la FolletteS schedule and inserts
new increases from S95,000 to 100000,
thus appealing to all factions in the fight
Senator Simmons, in charge of the rev.
enue bill, admitted today that he expects
increases in the taxes weait', must pay.
tndismayed by his defeat yesterday,
Senator La Toilette continued his drive
TO force higher rates on big incomes. He
had prepared a series of amendments, each
proposing a slightly reduced scale on in
dividual income surtaxes and he made it
| clear he will force vote on each Of these.
Senator La Toilette said he had high
| hopes that one of the less drastic of tho
amendments might be adopted. Word from
| the White House that President Wilson IL
| not averse to increasing war profits levies
| has given the La Toilette movement new
| impetus.
Senators supporting Senator La Follette's 3
| plan insisted that the vote yesterday on
the income tax amendment could not be
| regarded as fair test of their strength.
! They prophesied they would be able to
tforce the adoption of amendments virtually
doubling the war profits levies.
