COP. TAXPLAN
TO MEET FIGHT
Democrats See Effort to
Shift Burden to Shqul1
ders Of Poor.
4 BILLION A YEAR NEED
Minority Party Leaders Say
Long Time Will Be Re
quired for Change.
4 BILLION A YEAR NEED

Fearing that the Republican
promise of a reduction in taxes
means in reality a shifting Of the
burden from the shoulders OF the
rich to the shoulders of the poor.
the small coterieSof Democrats who
will constitute the next Congress
already are laying plans for fight
ing to the last ditch any such pro-
posal.
1t will be impossible to bring
about a reduction in taxes during
the next three years, they main
tain. and Secretary of the Treasury
Houston Is cited as authority for
the assertion. While 1t Is admitted
there Is room for reform in reve-
nue. legislation and the method of
levying taxes, there Is no way TO
get around the fact that $4,000. .000,-
900 annually will be required for
the next few years. they say.
Fight Tax Plan.
Representative William A. Old
field. of Arkansas, who will be next
to ranking minority member on the
Ways and Means Committee in the
event that Claude Kitchin Is made
minority floor leader in the next
Congress. declared yesterday that
the Democrats will fight bitterly
the proposal to levy a tax on gross
sales and a consumption tax in lieu
of the present excess profits tax.
Only three countries in the world.
including Mexico. resort to a sales
tax for revenue, Oldfield said. This
tax Is one of the easiest to be
shifted to the ultimate purchaser.
he said. while a consumption tax
would be just as unfair.
Men with swollen fortunes" he
said, eat no more food than a
workingman and. while their ward
robes may be larger, they pay no
more in proportion for clothing than
do the government clerks; yet the
poor man would pay virtually as
much to run his government under
this tax as the rich man."
Propaganda for Repeal.
Oldheld charged that a quiet
propaganda has been going on for
some time for the purpose of bring
ing about the repeal of the excess
profits tax While there are some
sound arguments against this form
of taxation, he said, 1t must not De
overlooked that it brings into the
Federal Treasury more than $780,
0o0, 200 annually.
1t Is true to a certain extent,
Oldfield said, that this tax retards
trading, in that it would prevent
a man from disposing of property
which had enormously increased In
value while under his ownership.
Timber land. for instance, purchas-
ed several years ago at from IS
to SO an acre. and now worth sew
eral hundred. would be held by the
owner. who would not want to sell
IL and then pay a large part of his
profits to%the government in the
form of taxation
Houston's Plan Favored
While this feature is objection
able, he said. il must not be over
looked that this tax cannot be pass
ed to the ultimate consumer. and
that IL is taken from the man who
can AFFORD to pay it.
Oldheld, however, declared that
the proposal suggested by Secretary
Houston, of increasing the tax on
incomes above $1,000. would be the
most sound and would prove a par
tiaI solution of the problem

Millerand Agrees to Accept
Presidency of French Republic

PARIS, Sept. 20 (By The Associated
Press) Premier Alexandra Millerand
to-day agreed to be candidate for the
Presidency of the Republic to succeed
President Deschanel, who has rendered
his resignation.
NJ Millerand formally announced his
candidacy in q statement rciterating
his declared policies. He expressed
the belief that he could best serve as
Premier. but il Parliament preferred
him as President he would mot evade
the cali"
M. Millerand's decision came after
an hours conference with Aristidc Bri-
and. former Premier, who said at the
conclusion Of the meeting that he was
working for Millerand and would ask
his followers to work for him. While
che Premier is the almost unanimous
choice. there Is strong opposition, even
among his most fervent supporters, to
any revision Of the constitution such
as Millerand is understood to be In
sisting upon. The slogan at Versailles
will be: ELECT Millerand, but don't
tamper with the constitution"
M, Millerand conferred with Presa-
dent Desshanef at 'Resnb0illes this AFTER

noon. On his return to Paris the Pre-
mier sent copies Of the Presdent's
message of resignation to the presid-
ing officers of the Senate and the Cham
Der Of Deputies, who tomorrow will
present it to Parliament.
M Millerand's acceptance as a can
didate for the Presidency has virtually
solved the Presidential crisis, as it is
conceded by all sides in the Chamber
of Deputies and Senate that his cleo
ton is forgonc conclusion. He would
receive more than 700 votes, rs no other
candidate has officially entered the
field.
The Premier's opponents have de-
cided to refrain from voting and ex-
pect to muster about 100 blank ballots.
The question uppermost in the dis
cussion among the Deputies and Sena-
tors at present Is the formation of the
new Cabinet t. replace that headed by
M. Millerand. At least two ministers
of the Millerand Cabinet are slated to
go. M. BRAND probably will become

CHICAGO. Sept. 20.-Three negroes
were besieged in Sr. Gabriel's Church
on the South Side tonight for more
than an hour by a mob of thou
sand persons after the negroes
had killed Charles Barret, white man.
Barret is said to have gone to the res
cue of white girl who was insulted
by the negroes. The negroes were
rescued and placed in Jail.
Chief of Police Garrity ordered the
entire police force mobilized and placed
several hundred extra policemen around
the scene Of the trouble t8 avert race
riot. Several thousand negroes are en-
ployed in the stockyard neighborhood,
where Barret was killed.
Shortly after the murder three
negroes were dragged from a streetcar
two blocks away and severely beaten.
The negroes who killed Barret. cut
ting his throat with q razsr. were
chased several blocks by a continually
increasing crowd. and finally ran into
the church. Two hid in the confes-
sional and one back Of the altar
Sticks and stones were throwr at the

Burke, pastor of the church, appeared
st the entrance, and -or several minutes
pleaded with the crowd to disperse,
but without avail. Only when police
men armed with rifles appeared did the
mob break up.

Italian Workers Ordered
To Quit Occupied Plants
Confederation OF Labor Issues
Instructions That Normal
Employment Be Resm,,a1sd

ROME, Sept. 2G.-Ine Messagero SAYS
to-day it learns that the General Con-
federation of Labor has ordered the
workmen to leave seized plants and
resume normal work. The ccnfedera-
tlon has guaranteed that order will be
preserved, the newspaper adds.
Following conference with the Min.
lister of the Interior to-day, represent
atives of the employers and Workmen
reached an agreement whereby the in
crease granted the workers should be
retroactive to July Is. This, however,
does not include salaries for the days
the plants were occupied by the en-
ployees.
Giolitti's conference with the em-
ployers and workmen was prolonged
chiefly owing to the difficulty of reach
ing an agreement whether workers
guilty of attacks on property and per-
sons during the occupation of the fac
tories should be reinstated. After 8
long discussion the Premier proposed
that all the workers be reinstated. bus
that accusations against any individu-
ais should be taken under consider
alton by a commission composed of two
representatives from each side. The
employers strongly opposed this, but
impose it, they submitted.
The arrears of wages to be paid from
JNly 15 were also fixed, and it is ex-
pected the factories will be handed
back to the masters tomorrow.

Rides to Jail irs T'ari
Chauffeur Told He Needn't

or Until He Anssuers Questions

Jules ("Nicky") Arnstein rode to Lud-
low Street Jail yesterday in a taxi. Af-
ter he had paid the tariff the deputy
from the United States marshnl's Office
who mpanied him told the chauffeur
he need not wait, sfor his passenger
would be inside for some time
Judge Martin T. Manton, who COM
mitted Arnstein to jail for contempt OF
court, was more explicit as to the dura-
ton of "Nicky's" stay in Jail. He said
il would be as long IS he persisted in
refusing to answer questions in the
bankruptcy proceedings against him in
defiance Of an order Of Judge Hand.
Arnstein yesterday again refused to
answer the questions which Saul s.
Myers, counsel for the surety companies,
has been asking him since February.
The defendant said he acted upon advice
OF counsel. Judge Manton thereupon
signed papers for Arnstein's commit
ment. with the information that he could
purge himself of contempt and leave
Jail when he was ready to answer.
AS Arnstein entered the United States
marshal's Office, he lost mis- calm for a
moment and said to- Mr.. Myers:
II suppose you arc happy now that
you have separated me from my wife
and child and have finally succeeded in
putting me in jail"

LONDON, Sept. 20.-Representative
OF the miners and the government
failed to reach an agreement at a
four~hour conference this afternoon
and, as consequence. the prospect Of
preventing q coal strike is dim.
When the miners entered the con-
ference Robert Smillie, president Of
their federation, made statement
that they had not taken up any new
position since Saturdays discussion.
Fhe negotiations which ensued were
much in the nature Of deadlock, both
sides adducing old arguments.
Sir Robert Horne, president of the
Board Of Trade, definitely refused
smillie's final appeal for an in
crease IN wages of two shillings a day
and likewise refused to submit the
question to arbitration, though Sir
Robert admitted that an increase prob
ably would be granted following the
convening of an industrial court.
Il think that our executive can an.
nounce- with a perfectly clear con-
science. before the conference to-mor-
row that We have done everything in
our power to avoid strike" was
Smillie's last shot.
The attitude of the miners indicates
that they will advise strike when the
labor delegates meet tomorrow. The
transport workers will meet the
miners tomorrow, and the triple alli-
ance, including these two trades and
the railway men, will meet Wednesday
to consider joint action. The strike
notices will expire Saturday and the
strike will begin Monday, unless there
is last hour settlement.
Arrangements already have been
made to ration the country in the
event of strike. Many factories
have announced their intention of
closing without waiting for coal
shortage to develop, and a general
dislocation of industry is predicted,
following the actual stoppage of
mining. The government is said to
feel that the miners position is weak.
but the outlook tonight clearly irdi-
Gates showdown. The miners, after
abandoning their demand for reduc-
ton in the domestic price Of coal, evil
IDENTIFY are determined to refuse fur
ther concessions.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2o.-Rumors
that President Wilson before many
weeks will emerge dramatically from
his retirement for a brief but active
participation in the Presidential cam
pagn persist in well-informed quar-
ters, in spite of efforts to prevent any
premature announcements concerning
his plans.
1t was said a month ago that it was
well within the realm of probabilities
that the President, before the cam
paign ended, might make one or two
speeches in behalf Of the Democratic
ticket. There is good reason to be-
lieve that this suggestion is still be-
ing considered, and that the President
himself, who has improved in health
to an extent not generally known, is
revolving tbs proposition in his mind.
Confident in his strength, the Presi-
dent would even like to make speak
ing tour through several states, al
though it is probable that if his
physieians yield to the extent Of per-
mitting him to speak at all, they will
insist, on the side Of caution, that he
corfine himself to one or two addresses
in Washington. Some Of his advisers
would prevent him from undertaking
even this, not that they believe him
unequal to the task, but because they
fear that ne would be tempted to over
do and risk setback.
The fact that the President several
days ago received in person a dele
cation of officers of The Veterans of
Foreign Wars, which held conven-
tion last week, indicates the extent
to which he has overcome his sensi
tiveness to meeting people, and it is
to be expected that from now on he
will receive other visitors. His weight
is now normal. He moves around the
White House with comparative ease,
though still using a sane. SO far as
the duties of his Office are concerned
he has nearly reestablished his old
routine and works daily at his desk in
the White House library. His drives
through the parks of the city have
brought glow to his checks and his
conve rsation is animated by flashes
of dry humor.
That the President is wrapped up in
the outcome of the political campaign,
particularly with regard to its effect
on the League Of Nations controversy,
is shown by the fact that within the
last few days he has given his 0. X.
to a collection Of "hints for Demo-
cratic speakers on the League of Ma
tions and Democratic achievements"
which was prepared in the White
House Office.
One of the most effective portions
of the pamphlet is given up to COM
parison between the arguments made
against the league and the arguments
set up against the Constitution when
it was up for ratification in 1887.

cused of completely In any Gexman spy
plots, or other activities against the

1.-THE Interchurch World Move
ment, indeed is of a practical
character that hardly can fail to ap-
peal to men of sound judgement.
Summed up, it is simply a plan for
the cooperation of all Protestant
Evangelical churches in the effort
to Christianize the world. Here
tofore this same work has been
carried on separately by the differ
ent Protestant denominations each
one working it's own way. AS
they all worried to the same end, it
was a simple business proposition
that could be accomplished and at
less cost and strain by a united
effort. 1t is not a movement in
spired only by practical considera.
tions, but has a spiritual basis else
it could have never reached its
present proportions or have been
carried on to this point with the
harmony that has characterized the
conferences Indianapolis Star.
