Most Important Work Ahead
of Congress After Appro.

Disposed Of, He Insists

Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator
boles Penrose, of Pennsylvania, who
will head the Finance Committee Of
'he next Senate, in an interview here
to-day said he would introduce legis-
lation to establish a budget system
at the next session of Congress. Other
legislation which Senator Penrose be-
iieves Will have early consideration is
repeal of the luxury taxes and the
formulation of a ship operating pro-
gramme, the absence Of which, he said,
IS now menacing the shipping industry
of the country.
The first task of Congress will be
consideration of the appropriation bills
which failed of passage in the last
Congress- said Senator Penrose
These bills, of course, have to be
passed before the end of the fiscal
year. which will be the end of June.
Even as it is, hardly time is permit
ted for the proper consideration of
these important measures, involving
billions of dollars. The fact is that
Congress should have been called to-
gether a month ago. Until the ap-
preparation bills are disposed of it
is not likely that any other legisla-
tlon can get much consideration.
10 Repeal Luxury Taxes
ut is likely that a resolution will
be pressed repeating the so-called lux
ury taxes. These were inserted in the
revenue bill by the House WAYS and
Means Committee under stress of war
conditions, and later, after the armis-
tlce, were eliminated by the Finance
Committee of the Senate with the con-
currence of Treasury officials as being
harassing and difficult of enforcement
The resolution repeating these taxes
woud* have passed in the last Con
gress had it had consideration.
Perhaps the most important legis-
ation related to revenues is that to
provide tor budget system, and by
this 4 mean budget system that is
administrative and legislative. There
IS an almost complete absence of bud
Eeo system III the government of the
United States, and this fact, together
with the habit of Extravaganza and
wasteful expenditures developed by the
war, Will produce a chaotic condition
unless such system is provided for.
Would Simplify Tax Laws
Later on the question of changing
the tax laws is to be taken up with a
view to simplifying the returns which
individuals and corporations must
make out"
Discussing the possibility of reduc-
ing taxes, Senator Penrose said
The reduction or possible increase
IN taxation goes back to the budget
system. 1t is no eXaggeration to say
that no official of the government is IN

senator Penrose SAID:

rose continued:

All Russi an
Government to
Form at Onlsk
Statement Indicates Plans
Have Been Completed for
Organized State of Fac
tions Opposed to Reds

WASHINGTON, May 9.-The strength
o. the Omsk government is such that
formal declaration made to-day by
s. ughet, charge d'affaires ad interim
Of the Russian Embassy, begins:
sThe hour which Russian patriots
snd democrats have been waiting for
during long months has come at last"
The statement indicates that the de-
tails OF the establishment of the gov
ernment at Omsk as the all-Russian
government have been completed.
Thanks are given 20 the United
States and the Allied nations for
the assistance rendered the new
government, and especially to the
Czecho- Slovak Republic, whose SOL
diers stemmed the flood of Bolshevism
at the most critical time before the
Omsk government could be organized.
"Russia is coming back to life,"
concludes the statement, "and the near
future will see her great organized
state built on broad democratic prin-
ciples, with equality before the law
for every creed and nationality. Rus
sia's constitutional, social and national
problems will be solved through the
al Russian Constituent Assembly,"
FARlS, May 9.-Ihe movement for
the recognition of the government of
Admiral Kolchak at Omsk by the Allies
and the United States as the &c facto
government in Russia is supported so
generally in Paris that announcement
Of such action any day would not be
surprising.
President Tschaikowsky Of the
Northern Russian government in Arch
angel has consented to recognize the
kolchak government as the central gov
ernment OF Russia on condition that
the Archangel and other local govern
ments are permitted to retain control
OF local affairs. Similar action is ex-
pected on the part of General Dene-
kline, the head OF the Cossack govern
ment at Ekaterinburg, whose advisors
II Paris have recommended it.
The Russian factions in Paris ap-
parently are coming together on a
platform providing for the support of
constitutional assembly elected by uni
versal suffrage. Former Premier Ke-
Tensky, who is now in Paris, opposes
the government of Admiral Kolchak,
but the admrals repeated promises of
constitutional assembly apparently
have satisfied most Of the Russian rad
icals in Paris.
Meanwhile encouraging reports have
zen received here of the progress of
holchak's troops against the Bolshe-
Wiki. From east of Samara northward
the Bolsheviki are being pushed back.
On the extreme northern wing the Boil
sneviki are retreating rapidly q few
miles east OF the important railway and
manufacturing town of Viatka.

Chicago, July 28.-Thomas Fitzger-

kinsOn
He enticed her into his fiat with
candy. FEe made advances. She
screamed. He choked her to cath.
Then he buried her body in TIL coal
pile in the basement of the building.
He confessed the crime to Acting
Lieut.. Fred Howe at the Chicago ave-
nue. station, where he had been held
since a. m. Wednesday, II hours af-
ter Janet vanished. Then he helped
the police to find the corpse.
His confession came abruptly at the
end of the most remarkable grilling in
the history of crime. 1t lasted through
out the entire night. 1t was ver1ta-
BILE fourth degree" in which psychol-
ogy played a leading part.
He was not physically abused, but
the manhunters, feeling the end was
near, pounded his muddled and sleep
less brain with every mental shock
they could devise.
Kind words, threats, thousands OF
questions and suggestions were t1red
at him with machine gun regularity.
The ordeal had endured eight hours
when he called for Acting Lieutenant
Howe.

SENATE GETS THE
i. S.-FRENCH PACT
President Urges Ratification and
Explains the Treaty.
CITES GREAT DEBT TO ALLY
Document Is Practically Identical
With One Signed Between France
and Great Britain-Purpose of
Agreement Shown.

Washington, July 30.-President
Wilson transmitted to the senate the
special treaty with France by which
the United States pledges itself to
come Immediately to the aid Of that
republic in the event of an unprovoked
attack by Germany, and asked for its
early ratification "along with the
treaty with Germany"
Submission of the treaty came after
sharp criticism by senate Republicans,
who for several days had openly
charged on the senate floor that in
failing to present the draft of the pact
along with the treaty of Versailles, the
president had violated one of the ar
ticles of the document. The president
did not follow the usual custom of
presenting the treaty in person. He
sent it to the capitol by special mes
senger- along with a message explain
ing its object
Difference in Wording.
The Franco-American treaty is al
most identical with one signed between
Great Britain and France. One diff
ference between the texts, as made
public by the French foreign office, to
which attention has been called, is
that the United States pledges itself
to go Immediately" to the assistance
of France, while Great Britain CON
sents" to assist that country.
The president told the senate the
purpose of the treaty was to provide
assistance for France in case of I'M
provoked aggression by Germany with
out waiting for the advice of the coun-
Gil of the League of Nations that such
action should be taken, and explained
that it was to be an arrangement, mot
Independent of the League of Nations,
but under it,"
Treaty Limitation.
1.-THE covenant of the League of Ma
tions," the president said, provides
for military action for the protection
of its members only upon the advice
of the council of the league-advice
given, it is to be presumed, only upon
deliberation and acted upon by each
of the governments of the member
states only If its own judgment justi-
fies such action.
Pointing out that the treaty shall
receive the approval of the council of
the league" the president said it
would remain in force "only until,
upon the application of one of the par
ties to it, the council Of the league,
acting, if necessary, by a majority
vote, shall agree that the provisions
Of the covenant Of the league afford
her (France) sufficient protection"
Mr.. Wilson said he was moved to
sign the treaty by the ties of friend
ship binding the two countries and the
assistance France gave America in it's
struggle for independence. Without
this assistance, the president said, it
was seriously to be doubted whether
America could have won independence,
and added:
Nothing can pay such a debt"
