To Meet Cost of Bonus to War
Service Men
PROPOSED BY INSURGENTS
Bill to Be introduced in Congress To-
day as Substitute for Sales
Tax Plan.

Washington April 26. An eighty
per cent. tax on war profits Is the
plan the House Democrats and in
surgent Republicans under the leader
ship OF Representative Johnson IS.
i'd, will insist be passed as the
method OF raising the money neces-
sary to carry out the soldier bonus
programme now being formulated by
the Ways and Means Committee
Such measure was agreed to by
Representative Rainey (Ill) and Mr..
Johnson today. 1t will be introduced
tomorrow with the statement by Mr..

The huge levy would affect all ex-
ltraordinaly profits made during the
years 1917, 1918, 1919 and 1920, and
would be paid in quarterly install
ments, beginning March Is, 1921 For
individuals the tax would be placed
en- the difference between the average
met income during the years named

ROBBER|ES IS
FOUND HIDDEN
Most Skillful Burglar on Record
Met Fate at Last
KILLED BY POLICEMAN
Kept a Card Index Of Places He Had
Robbed and of Those Under
Consideration.
KILLED BY POLICEMAN

Chicago, April 26-"He was the
king of them ALL" Police Chief John
J. Garrity of Chicago was viewing the
bullet-riddled body of Henry l.. James
declared to have been the cleverest
burglar in America, when he uttered
the above today. He could have
been a senator or a great flnancier-
anything" reminisced Garrity. When
it came to brains and genuine ability
he was genius. But you can see
what his genius-the way he used it,
got him"
The genius of Henry l.. James, the
man in the silver mask" as he was
known to police and secret service
men from one end of the country to
the other, won him death in a back
alley with 100 policemen pouring lead
from their automatics at him from
every angle.
With his death came the details Of
a remarkable criminal career--found
in his diary.
The last chapter-the chapters Of
years gone by, deal with diamond rob
berries in London, picture thefts in
Paris, criminal plots involving high
officials in the old days--reyeals how
this man, university graduate, a
brilliant student and art connoisseur,
working alone, in two months stole
so many priceless Persian and Turk
ish rugs, so much valuable periods
furniture, match'ess proclaim and fine
china that he had to lease ware
house, within stones throw of a
police station, TO hold it. His jewel
Operations netted him such fabulou
collection of precious stones that he

street corners of Chicago. There he

cleverness and placing his swag N

James was accumulated by the police

value would run into hundreds OF
thousands of dollars. Thiity-hye

DOROTHY FISHERS VIEWS
State Of Vermont Held Up to Ridcule
by Failure to Act.

The following letter was written by
Mrs. Dorothy Garfield Fisher CT Ar
lington, regretting her inability to be
present with the delegation Of Yer-
mont women who urged Gov. Clement
to call an extra session Of the Legis-
lature for the purpose OF ratifying the
Federal Amendment.
Mrs. Fisher is known as famous
au,hGr. Her stories of Vermont life
and her book Home Fires in France"
are very widely read,
II am regretting very greatly that
shall not be able personally to be
present in Montpelier. II would have
been relief to me to add my person
al presence to those who are In favor
of this most obvious reform.
And yet what is there TO say at
this late date in favor of woman suf-
frage?. One feels as foolishly anti
quated to be forced to speak in favor
of it, as if one were called upon to
speak in favor of good schools, or
good hospitals, decent government,
or any other Of the reforms Of our
country, which are thol Jughly &C.
cepted by all intelligent people. What
is there to say, except that not only
ought woman suffrage to come, but
that 1t is coming-really that ii has
come.
"n ever the will of the American
people was plain on any point, it is
plain on this point by this time.
The only thing to say is that a
good Vermonter hates beyond any
thing to see her state held up to ridi.
.cule as reactionary, behind the
times commonwealth as viii happen
If Vermont puts difficulties in the
way; and that a good vermonter
would feel a great pride and satisfac-
tion If Vermont might be the deciding
factor in a decision which is bound
to 90 one way in the end
Cordially and sincerely,
Dorothy Garfield Fisher"

the purposes of the institution, its
advantages, courses of instruction and
surroundings has been prepared by
the clerk of the board Of trustees, Ed.
ward H. Bates, and can be had upon
application.
1t was the original intention OF the
founder of the school that admission
should be limited to the sens OF men
who had taken part in the recent war,
but ii. soon became apparent that, be-
cause of the youth of the men who
served in the American army and
navy, the number of boys Of school
age at the present time would be too
limited and the privileges of the
school has since been extended, in the
discretion of the trustees to other
boys above the age OF l9 years who
may meet the requirements. II Is
provided by the articles of incorpor-
alton, however, tina. such admission
shall not be permitted to the exclus-
ion of any minor son of soldier or
sailor of the world war.
