One hundred ands fifty packages,

Christmas morning to dispense the
gifts.
Heretofore the Elks have contri-

4 Pages Today, But
Soon-Never Again

Selling the opportunity offered by
the little demand of advertisers uu-
on the Times-Recorder mechanical
department in the holidays between
Christmas and New Years, the Times
Recorder appears in four pages today
to enable its press room force to do
some necessary work on the big per
tectng press in final preparation to
put it into operation some time this
week, according to present expecta-
tions.
The readers interests have not
been forgotten, however, in reducing
the size of the paper, as much read
ing matter appearing today as is Of
ten the case in an 8-page edition.
This is possible because of the alb
sence of as much as % columns of
advertising, or four full pages, which
amount additional to what appears
today is often printed in an 8-page
edition. Although less attractive in
size and appearance, and lacking
some regular features, every effort
has been made to offer a well-bal-
anced newspaper in the four pages
today, and no news that was in hand
at press time has been omitted.
The abbreviated size will possibly
appear once or more times again this
week, after which it will be abolished
forever

LEADERSCLASH
in SENATEOVER
TARIFF MEASURE
Republicans Unable To
End Democratic
Filibuster

WASHINTON, Dec. 81. - Efforts
of Republican leaders to end today
what they described as Democratic
fiibuster against the house emerg-
ency tariff measure we're unavaiiing.
A Democratic motion to send the
measure to the commerce committee
was tabled 33 to IL, but Senator
Harrison, Democratic leader, prompt
ly moved to refer the bill to the In
terstate Commerce committee and
fight over the bill continued
Senator Harrison later withdrew the
motion and the measure was refer
red to the finance committee.
Republican and Democratic leaG-
ers in the senate clashed over the
tariff sbill. Characterizing the meas
ure as an embargo bill and "shock-
ing proposition" to restrict Ameri-
can commerce, Senator Hitchcock, of
Nebraska, Democrat, proposed that
the bill, instead of being referred as
a tariff measure to the finance COM
amittee, be sent to the commerce
committee. lie charged the kepub-
llcans proposed to rush through"
the measure practically without CON
sideration.
Senators McCumber, Smoot and
other Republicans denied the legis-
lation contemplated embargoes.
McCumber promised "fair and
adequate consideration of the bill
next month, but in the present form
he would not support it under anv
consideration, he said.

CAN'T FINANCE
BONUS BILL, IS
HOUSTON'S VIEW
Secretary Says He Is
Against a Wall On
Revenue Sources

WASHINTON, Dec. 27.-Passage
of the soldier bonus bill would cost
the government approximately $2,-
800, 900, Secretary Houston estimat-
ed today before the senate finance
committee considering the bill. Sec
retary Houston declared enactment
of the bill meant added burden in
the way of taxes. He said it was
impossible to compute accurately the
exact cost of each of the four option
al aid plans, but believed the esti-
mate submitted substantially :cr-
rect.
Assuming that all the men would
select one of the four optional plans,
Secretary Houston estimated the cost
of each as:
Adjusted service pay, $1,342,000,-
900:
Insurance provision, A, 534, 500,-
00O
Vocational training, $1,88O,O0O,-
900.
Farm and home development, ST..
100000.
Houston profesesd to be against
walP' as to methods of obtaining
revenue to meet the outlay that
would be required of the bill if en-
acted. He called the committees
attention to suggestions for new
taxes in his annual report, but ex-
planned that these were mentioned
only for the information of congress,
without any sort of recommends
tions. He asked the committee to hear
DIR. I. 5. Adams, treasury economist
and tax expert, who gave a compre-
hensive resume of the tax situation.
Adams declared the treasury is
daily seeing new evidence of further
drying IN of revenue sources, adding
that the task of computing tax re-
ceipts was to that extent becoming
more difficult. He also declared the
internal revenue bureau faced an
other problem in keeping experts
on the Job. He said men who are
capable did not stay long
Senator Smoot said:
"The real danger is that these men
get training in the revenue bureau
and then oo out to he'll big firms
evade tax payments"
Adams said that might be true to
some extent, but that he knew "of
one man who left the bureau a year
ago whose resignation cost the gov
ernment millions of dollars of uncol-
lected taxes, for he was an execu-
tive with expert knowledge of the
work"
The witness said this was typical
of labor turnover, that it direct
ly affected tax collections and would
continue to have more direct effect
on such collections unless the tax
laws were simplified."
The committee adjourned without
setting a date for further hearing

By WILLIAM E. BORAH.
Senator From Idaho.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Wher
the Treaty of Versailles was signed
the German navy was no more; the
German army was reduced to a mere
police force; Austria was helpless
and starving; Turkey was dismember-
ed; and the fighting forces of the
Central Powers were at an end.
Yet the Allies pledged in the
Treaty of Versailled to disarmament,
began the most stupendous program
of super-military preparedness the
world has ever seen.
Debts are being saddled on an ov-
ertaxed and overburdened world
and the people, already ground to
earth by taxes, discouraged and rest
less, are having placed upon them
the additioal weight of untold mil
lions.
Why?
For the most civilized nations to
hunt out still more deadly instrumen-
talities of death!
To accentuate, if possible, the
barbarism of the last war!
To dedicate the human race to a
more inconceivable inhumanity than
characterized the years from 1914
to 1881
1t is crime almost equal to the
crimes of the war itself.
1t enslaves the world in taxes and
seeks to make certain another war.
Who are the Allies going to fight,
Germany or themselves?
Lo they fear Germany? She will
be unable, even if she desired, to dis

Is YEARS SUPT.,
ECIVEN WATCH
Sunday School Honors
t. Furlow Gate
wood, Sr.

t. Furlow Gatewood, Sr., superin-
tendent of the First Baptist Sunday
school. was presented with hand
some gold watch yesterday morning
at the Sunday school hour as token
of appreciation for his services to
the membership.
Mr.. Gatewood has served in the
capacity of superintendent for the
school for the last fifteen years, and
as assistant superintendent for Eve
or six years before. When he be-
gan his duties fifteen years ago, the
roster registered only $50 names of
children and grown people who at
tended the Sunday school. Under
his administration, the membership
has grown from this small number
to a regular attendance each Sun
day Of 400 or more. Despite the
rain yesterday 296 were present and
gave an enthusiastic hour to the
program.
1t is a notable fact, also, that the
collections of the school run near the
S25 mark each Sunday. These reg
ular collections are augmented dur
ing the year by special collections.
The Baraca class alone this year has
raised more than $500 for the ex-
tension of the work.
c. A. Chambliss is assistant SUPER
intendent of the school at this time,
and with his aid in direction the af-
fairs of the school are progressing
splendidly. A cordial welcome al.
ways awaits strangers and visitors
who present themselves at the door,
and it is only necessary for a name
to be presented for the committee
on reception to call and make the
welcome genuine.

GANG WAR HERO
IS FOUND SLAIN
Monk Eastman, Noted
Character of East Side,
Vendetta Victim

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-" Monk
Eastman, once leader of notorious
gang that terrorized the lower East
Side, convicted felon but restored
to citizenship as a reward for hero
ism as soldier in the great war, was
slain shortly before daybreak Sunday
by ''some one unknown"
Eastman's body, bearing five bull
let wounds, was found by police
man at the corner of Fourteenth
street and Fourth avenue. Nearby,
on the steps of the subway entrance,
lay a revolver with five empty shells.
In the dead mans pockets were
$140, watch and chain, and a
Christmas card. The presence of the
valuables indicated to the police that
the killing of Eastman probably was
not part of the prevailing crime
wave, but the result of vendetta.
Eastman, whose right name was
William Delaney, had youthful ca
reer that was lurid even for under
world annals. The son of wealthy
and indulgent parents, he chose as his
companions the gangsters of the
one-time toughest" district in New
York, near Fourteenth street and
Third avenue-only block from
where he was killed.
A dozen years ago the monk
Eastman gang was composed of gun
men, burglars and drug addicts, and
the police claimed to have traced a
score of murder mysteries to the zone
in which the gangsters operated.
Their leader, however, served several
terms for lesser crimes-burglary
smuggling of narcotics and disposing
of stolen goods.
The last time Eastman appeared
on police records was in 1915 when
he was arrested, pleaded guilty and
was sentenced to two years in prison.
On his release in October, 1917, he
enlisted as doughhoy in the army
in the 106th Infantry of the Twen-
ty-Seventh division. He then was As
years old.
After the war he was honorably
discharged, but lacked the rights of
citizenship because he had been con-
victed Of felony. Gov. Smith, in re-
storing the soldiers civic status, act
ed on the recommendation of the
regiments officers.
An incident related to the COVER
nor was that Eastman had gone cover
the top" on hands and knees with
grenades with which to attack Ger
man machine gun, nest. The enemy
fire was so intense that his pack was
sheered from his back, but he gained
his objective.
