WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Deter-

With this as it's announced peace

to test the ability of the system
to check expansion and to induce

planned it was aware of the implied
power to rectify the condition which
confronts the country. This power

Recommendation also were made
to congress for amendment of the
reserve act which would permit re-

federal reserve board, to establish
normal maximum lines of credit ac-
commodation for member banks. An
as sding scale of rates would be
provided in event money was bor-
rowed above the maximum line. This,
IL. board believed, would induce
banks to hold their own large bor-
rowers in check and thus work to
the end that credit expansion on a
large scale would be stopped. Warn
ing was given that the country must
guard against too rapid defation.

HOOVER OPPOSES MAKING LEAGUE ISSUE At POLLS
URGES DRIVE ON
TAXDODGERS
SAVE A BILLION

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-An ap-
preparation to finance a $1,000, 000,-
600 drive on tax dodgers has been
asked of congress by Internal Reve-
nue. Commissioner Roper. it was
learned today.
This amount, Roper informed the
house appropriations committee, can
be brought into the treasury if con-
gress will allow sufficient funds for
thorough audit of all tax returns.
ADULTS of the 1915 and part of
the 1917 returns have netted $780,
100000, but the internal revenue bu-
reau is so far behind on it's work
that a large additional force of audi
tors is needed to bring more money
due the government into the treasur =
at this time, Mr.. Roper said. For
this purpose he asked for an appro1
priation of $4,000 to employ $50 audi
tors and 600 auxiliary clerks to go
over faulty returns.
A preliminary investigation also
has shown that the government has
been paid money on income and 9th
er taxes to which it is not entitled,
and it is estimated that the refunds
during this year will total $4,000
600.
AS to the taxes which the govern
ment hopes to recover, Mr.. Roper
said:
1--WE find upon examination that
two-thirds of these unassessed taxes
lie in a group of about Is 900 returns.
These are the so-called consolida ted
returns-that is returns of corpora
tons of all kinds which have many
subsidiary companies probably rum
ming from five to twenty subsidiary
companies per return. These $4,000
consolidated returns probably repre-
sent 100000 individual company re-
turns. An audit of 302.93S cases has
Melted the government 1925. 705, 422."

Census Estimate Makes
New York Biggest City

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Estimates
on New York's census returns for
1920 give the city more than 1900
600 inhabitants, according to census
officials The population of the
metropolitan district, which includes
suburbs not actually belonging 10
the city, is said to exceed 100000.
These figures would make New
York indisputably the biggest city
in the world, London coming sec
ond with about 100000 less both
for the city proper and the London

NINE ARE DYING IN JAIL
Hunger Strikers Have Been Eighty

CORK, Nov 5-Tension in Cork in
creased today with reports of wide
spread raids by military forces. OK
all sides it appeared to be taken for
granted that further tragedies are
bound to occur and Irish and British
steeled themselves to meet them.
The excitement surrounding Ter
ence MacSwiney's funeral had not
died away today. The election last
night at Donal O'Callaghan as lord
mayor of Cork showed feeling here
had not died down. O'Callaghan was
associated closely with MacSwiney.
He attended the funeral services in
London and took part in the fighting
at Holyhead in an effort to prevent
seizure of the body by British soldiers.
At night Cork's streets are deserted.
The curfew law is in effect. Pedes-
trians may go about il they have pass
es, but even then it is dangerous, as
sentries and other armed men are
quick to shoot. -.
Adding to the tenseness of the stu
alton is the impending death of the
remaining nine hunger strikers in
Cork Jail Their death is accepted
as certain TO occur, especially since
they only recently rejected an honora-
Bile opportunity to break their fasts.
In space in front of the Jail hundreds
of women gather daily to pray for the
prisoners, whose bodies are wasting
away, but whose courage remains un-
shaken. The women remain all day,
kneeling and counting their beads.
With the exception of John Hennes-
sey, all nine hunger strikers were con-
scious when I visited the Jail. Hen
nessey is believed to have sunk into
a coma from which he will not
emerge This was the eighty-seventh
day of the strike. Jail doctors told
me the men have no medical care, but
that expert nursing is provided by
nuns.
, Relatives are sti1l admitted to the
prison and the men are able to whis-
per to them and to the priest, who Of
ffers them cons olatien.
The men show the ravages of star
vation. Their faces are drawn and
the skin is stretched tightly over
prominent cheek bones. Their fea-
lures are colorless. The bedies have
shrunken and the weights of all have
sunk to about half of normal.
The nine are resigned to their death
They consider themselves bound te

/ WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The "sol'
emn referendum" on the league OF
nations having gone against President
Wilson, his friends as well as critics
are asking:
seWhat twill President Wilson do
now about the peace treaty"
The answer is known only to- the
president. If he intends to do any
thing he has not confided in his Off
cial family. Many gueses have been
made, among them these:
That Wilson will do nothing more
about the treaty or the league, leav-
ing to Harding the task of making
peace with Germany and deciding ON
what terms the United States shall
CO. operate with other nations to pre-
vent war.
That he will resubmit the league
covenant to the senate in December
with a statement that he will accept
ratification with such reservations as
the senate adopts.
That he will resign shortly and step
out of the treaty fight as suggested
by William ]. Bryan.
That he will make separate peace
with Germany before March fourth,
1921.
That he will shortly address a
statement tn the American people in
which he will say his last word, Off
cially, on the treaty.
All of these are mere guesses unsup-
ported by single authoritative intfma-
tion from the president or persons
close to him.
White house officials today refused
to discuss William J. Bryan's sugges-
tion that Wilson resign to let Harding
be sworn in at once. The report that
Wilson planned to step out soon after
election has been going the rounds
here and has even gone mdenied in
certain official quarters, but it is i'm
possible just now to say whether Will
son does intend to quit or not. His
closest associates scout the idea, how
ever.
The suggestion Wilson might yield
to the senate on reservations was scoff.
ed at today by those nearest to him
That would be surrender, one official
who sees the president almost daily
said, adding that Woodrow Wilson
may be defeated, but he never sur
renders.
The president, it was said, would
rather have the United States stay
out of the league than have the league
rendered impotent through elimina
ton of the obligation in article X
Acceptance of the senate reservations
would do that, in the presidents opin
ion.
