New York, Dec 10.-Harry K. Thaw.
 defendant in two of the most sensa-
 tional trials in the history of criminal
 law, is under no restraint" at the
 Pennsylvania hospital for the insane at
 Philadelphia, to which he was com
 mitted after his flight from New York,

 turn to New York. MT. Swann hopes
 to place Thaw on trial on two indict-
 ments charging him with Kidnapping
 and assaulting Frederick Gump, a Kansas City Mo, boy.
 MT. Swann said investigation of re- ports that Thaw had been enjoying periods of freedom from the institu- tion had proved the reports true. He declared that Edwin P. Kilroe, an as sistant, who had been in Philadelphia 1 Investigating the case, was told by an official of the hospital that If Thaw wanted to go out of the institution there was no power vested in the in- stitution to .detain him.
 The official Mir. Swann said, em- phasized that the hospital was a 'pri- vate and not public institution"
 l MT. Kilroe, he declared was denied peTInlSSlOU tO see IldW dl lIl0 llSlllu- 1 ton unless he obtained permission from Thaw's private counsel. This

SENATE DEBATES REVISED
 WAR REVENUE BIL

Washington, Dec. 10.-Debate on the revised war revenue bill began in the senate today witlv the presentation of the majority and minority reports from the senate finance committee before a small attendance of senators. The measure has been given right of way and because of republican opposition to the fixing of 1920 taxes discussion is expected to contiue almost indefi- nitely.
 Chairman Simmons opened debate by presenting the majority views on the legislation, while Senator Penrose spoke for the republican members, ex- cept Senator La Toilette of Wiscon- sin, attacking the 1920 taxation plan. Senator Themas of Colorado, demo- crat,- presented an individual report, criticizing the excess profits and in heritancel tax features and Senator Smooth of Utah. republican, plans to file an individual statement tomorrow Later Senator La Toilette also will present his views. -
 Senator Simmons completed his statement today and, in defending the 1920 tax provisions, declared that American. business interests are enti- tied to know what tax burdens they WEI be called upon to. bear during the period of reconstruction He asked if the republicans advocating postpone ment of 1920 legislation, desired to keep the question in abeyance- solely ! in order that the next congress, con- trolled by republicans, may handle the matter.
 The minority report, while express ing general approval of the 1920 tax program, declared that extension of the legislation to 1920 is without justi- | fication. Senator Penrose said future conditions are too uncertain and in- formation at hand insufficiet for con gress now to fix tax schedules for 1920. He added, however. that tax reductions in that year are foresone conclusion. Besides the republican opposition to the 1920 program, several features of 1 the bill relating ot 1919 taxation meet with the disapproval of individual sen- ators and many amendments are to be offered. Opposition already is devel- oping to the elimination of the so- called luxury taxes, while increase of the individual income surtax, corpora | tion and war eycess profits rates also is to be proposed
