TALK TAX CHANGES,
BUT NOT APT TO ACT
Proposed Laws Are Not Likely
to Get Past Hearings
Stage.

What to do about the tax laws at
the short session IL one OF the things
troubling leaders In the Senate and
House.
The subject Is already being dis
cussed among the leaders. Senator
Watson. prominent on the Finance
Committee. has talked IL over with
senator Lodge. Also II will be the
subject OF his forthcoming conferences
with Senator Penrose. chairman OF
the Finance Committee. House Leader
Mondel Is taking II up with House
members and on the arrival here OF
Chairman Fordney OF the Ways and
Means Committee he will be consulted
Big business is anxious for changes
In the revenue laws. and would like
something done this session. The
proposal to defer the time for paying
the last tax installment does not
seem practicable. Senator Watson
would like emergency legislation 10
get rid OF some OF the annoying
features OF the tax laws this session
but is doubtful whether II can be
brought about.
AS II looks now. the upshot OF the
matter will be hearings by the ways
and Means Committe and the Finance
Committee on taxation and on tarin
this session, but no legislation until
the extra session.
However. the views OF Senator
Harding will be ascertained nex1
week and will have a bearing on the

LORD MAYOR
q -
Of CORK DEAD
Macswiney Dies After Hunger
Strike Of 73 Days
ARRESTED ON AUGUST IL
Mayor OF Cork Succumbed To Hunger
Strike And Adds Another Chapter
To History OF The Struggle
For irish Freedom.

London.-Terence MacSwiney, lord
mayor of Cork, died at Brixton Prison
Sunday morning, following hunger
strike Of 70 days.
The Lord Mayors death occurred
at $40, A. M. Father Dominic, his
private chaplain, and his brother,
John MacSwiney, were with him at
the time. MacSwiney never gained
reconsciOusness.
The story of the self-starvation of
Terence MacSwiney, lord mayor of
Cork, probably will become one Of the
most moving chapter Of the centuries
long history of the Irish struggle. No
other controversy has stirred Great
Britain so deeply as this since the
one that conferred uron Cecil Rhodes,
when the Jameson raid was baked by
Paul Kruger and Nthe raiders i'm.
prisoned.
The campaign in English for Mac.
Swineys release from prison has been
apart from all political and party con-
siderations and even the King was
drawn into it. The movement in Mac
Swiney's behalf was mainly humani.
tartan and enlisted tender-hearted peo
pie of all factions but was urged by
others with arguments Of party
strategy.
MacSwiney was arrested on August
IL in the city of Cork under the De-
tense of the Realm Act. Four charges
were made against him. They were:
1. That he was on the day Of his
arrest in possession of the secret
numerical CIPHER code issued to the
Royal Irish Constabulary.
2. That he had this secret code IN
der his control.
3. That he had in his possession a
resolution passed by the Corporation
of Cork acknowledging the authority
Of and pledging allegiance to the Dali
Eireann, a document which was likely
to cause disaffection in Ireland.
4. That the speech which he made
when he was elected to succeed Lord
Mayor MacCurtain, copy of which
was in the hands Of the government.
contained seditious utterances and
was likely to cause disaffection.

LEAPS INTO NIAGARA FALLS.
Astounded Spectators See Man Go To
His Death.

Niagara Falls, N. Y.-Before the
eyes of a score of sightseers at Pros
pect Point a man climbed over the
railing, waded out into the river and
was carried over the American falls.
Too astounded to act the spectators
stood by while the man drifted to the
brink, waving his hand and shouting:
Here's where l leave you; good
bye"
In black derby found near the
place, where the man climbed the rail-
way, was found a piece of paper On
which was written:
"This hat belongs to Carl A. Ellis,
Of Hamburg, N. Y" )"
The description Of the suicide cor
responds to that Of Ellis, who could
not be located in Hamburg.
The owner of souvenir stand near
the falls told the police that the man
approached him and laughingly said:
"Well, I can't vote for Harding, SO
l may as we'll go over the falls"
The souvenir seller thought the man
was joking and paid no more atten-
ton to the incidentN short time
later when he saw the fatal leap.
