BECGARS, FAKERS
TAKE WARNING
Here's One City in Region
Where You Won't Be
Tolerated.

Indiana Harbor has for a number OF
months been overrun with fakirs,
mendicants and beggars who not only
have solicited funds i'm public places
from all classes of people but have been
in some cases really insolent to those
who have passed by without dropping
the requisite silver coins.
Citizens of that end Of the city have
been very much incensed at the efforts
and attitude of these undesirables and
sporadic efforts have been made to drive
out these people that are thus making
general nuisances of themselves. But
the efforts have been u~navailing. Every
pay day especially q group OF these
solicitors make their appearance and It
is safe to say that they have been pick
ing up hundreds of dollars with their
pitiful stories.
Yesterday w. J. Murray, president Of
the chamber of commerce. circulated a
petition which was signed by a large
and addressed to the mayor and chief
Of police asking that the city ordinance
against practices of his kind be regidly
enforced.
1t is believed that the city authorities
will take .drastice action at once on this
matter and that police officers will be
instructed to handle this matter vigor-
ously.

SENATE CUTS Off
sI40 MILLION TAX

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-The s per
cent diferential against the undistribut-
ed profits of business which the House
incorporated in the revenue bin was
stricken out by the Senate finance com
mittee yesterday. Senator Simmons.
the chairman, estimated that this would
cost the treasury $140,0 900. GOO. 900 in
revenue.
Under this change the income tax
rate on corporations would be uniform
at II per cent upon all the income,
whether distributed or not. The House
fixed the rate at Is per cent on undis-
tributed income and - per cent on that
portion distributed to stockholders.
Business Against Plan.
The Senate committees action brings
to an end a controversy which has been
waged ever since the House voted to put
this differentiaI in the bill. Business
corporations protested vigorously
against the diferential. c%ontending it
would be ruinous in a multitude Of

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES
IN FRANCE. Oct. 1s.-War has made
the world infinitely smaller, as the
following tale of remarkable reunions
along the front shows. 1t is the
story up to date IF three brothers.
and it began back in California. where
they were in college, two wears ago.
Several months before America en-
tered the war, these brothers seized
with the desire to come to France.
Al that time the big possibility was
the volunteer ambulance service. but
owing to financial circumstances one
brother could not come to Europe.
Brother Number One then was sent
along. the other two thinking they
might never see him again.
At the time America entered the
war. Brothers Two and Three had the
opportunity TO come TO France in the
same service. and started for New
York to embark. There Brother Num-

and parted from Three. the trio hgur-

by luck. he encountered Number One,
on a permission from the French bat
tlefront. 1t was then both One and
Three were transferred into the same
nit. and sent to the Balkans, to serve
with the French army OF the Orient.
They served there until their unit
was recalled. wondering all the time
