Immediate Peace
With Germany Is
Urged by Lenroot
Senator Tells Garment Man
ufacturers Harding Must
Also Readjust Taxes and
Lower Federal Expenses

Immediate peace with Germany, revo-
cation of the Presidents war powers
readjustment Of taxation upon an equi-
table basis, reduction Of the cost Of
government and the adoption of high
protective tariff are some of the things
which must be undertaken at once by
the incoming national administrat ton,
Senator Irvine l.. Lenroot of Wisconsin
told the international Garment Manu-
facturers' Association at its luncheon
at the Waldorf Astoria yesterday.
The association yesterday closed a
three days convention in this city.
Senator Lenroot also told the manu-
facturers they must cooperate with the
government in an effort to reduce
prices and obtain normal sreadjust-
ment OF business conditions.
Gone of the first acts Of the new
Administration after the fourth Of
March," said Senator Lenroot, will
be to secure peace with Germany. This
is the first essential to get the country
back to a normal basis"
Among the most important prob
lens, the Senator said, would be re-
ducton Of the cost Of government and
taxation. He continued:
"As to taxation, it is generally un
derstood that shortly after March A
there will be o revision of our tax
laws There is only one just rule
of taxation. and that is that every man
should contribute to the burdens of
government according to his ability to
pay. One Of the great needs is to do
away as far as possible with the cum
bersome and complicated system we
now have and substitute for it one
that is simple and certain. We must
expect to raise upon the average $4,-
00O,000,0 900 a year for some years to
come.
1--WE therefore cannot look for any
great reduction in the sum total of
taxes except as business conditions as
they are to-day viii automatica ly re-
duce the amount. But business men
have the right to expect simplicity and
certainty, and that we will try to Sc
cure"

and the last cent In the Treasury, ex-
cluding the comparatively small
amount that will be secured from gen.
eral internal revenue sources, and
which will be far more than Offset by
the amount paid out for general gov
ernmental expenses, there would still
be left by January 8 past due obliga-
tions of $329,981,765. But even that
deficit is based on the assumption that
the Treasury is MIXED dry, is left
bankrupt. In making his calculations
and estimates the Secretary of the
Treasury places as the minimum
safety cash balance $250,000,OO0, and
therefore to keep the Treasury on a
safe basis we must add this sum,
which brings the deficit or amount
which must be raised in some way to
S579,981,7Cb.
But even this gigantic deficit, which
requires immediate liquidation, does
not disclose the full truth. There must
be added to this whatever sum is nee
essary to make good deficits growing
out of governmental operation Of rail
roads, estimated by the President in his
annual message at $650,000,O00, which
brings the total deficit immediately
confronting suto s1,229.981 ,765. This
is the situation, and it, is the deficit
that meets our immediate gaze"

SANTA ROSA, Calf, Dec. 10 (By
The Associated Press) Three for
mer convicts were taken from the
county jail here shortly after mid
night last night by mob of a hun
dred masked and armed men, conveyed
in automobiles to a cemetery just out
side of the city limits, and hanged to
an oak tree.
The men hanged were George Boyd.
Terrence Fits and Charles Volento.
They were accused of having murdered
the Sheriff Of Sonoma County and two
detectives here last Sunday Boyd and
Nolento had been identified Monday BY
three young women as members of a
gang that attacked them in a Howard
Street house.
Members Of the mob, arriving at the
jail, threw a Gordon about the build
ing while twelve men entered, held up
the new Sheriff and his deputies, dis
armed them and, with their keys, took
the three men from their cells.
The three prisoners were dressed
only in their underclothes. Boyd ac-
companied the mob without a struggle

Nation w armed
OF Huge Deficit
By McCumber
Aggregate Likely to Reach
$4,000, 900, 900 by June,
He Tells Senate; Calls
for Strictest Economy
New Enterprises Opposed
Relief Measures Declared
Impracticable in View of
u. S. Need for Money

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Nc
Cumber, of North Dakota, acting chair
man of the Senate Finance Committee
told the Senate to-day that the short
ago cash in the United States Treas
ury nccessitated sharp reductions in all
appropriation measures and the aban-
donment of new projects.
Faced by a deficit that would reach
81, 000,000,000 by the end Of the fiscal
year next June, he said. the Treasury
could not stand further heavy drains.
He explained that the committee had
this fact in mind when it decided not
to report out resolution deferring
income tax payments due December IS.
The Senator said that there were two
features of the present situation, the
collapse OF prices for farm products
and the heavy reduction In inventory
values, occasioned by the drop in
prices.
Doubts Wisdom of Relief Plans
He regarded as doubtful the wisdom
of granting the relief measures sought
by some. These are the postponement
of the date on which the taxes are due
and the readjustment of losses by let
ting the deficit of 1920 offset the profits
of 1919 and to that extent reduce the
amount of tax due this year
II wish. therefore," said Senator Nc
Cumber, "to present a general state
ment of the condition of the National
Treasury, its immediate obligations
and it's cash assets to meet them
"The total amount in the Treasury
on December was $160,01S,235, and
the December Is tax nstalment, it is
estimated, will yield $685. 900, the
total being ,235. We turn now
to our immediate liabilities, and we
fnds that the outstanding certificates
maturing December Is total $500 0Oo,-
600. Those maturing January 3-15
next total $300,O00,0OO, while those ma
turing December Is, also this present
year, add another $14O,0OO,O 900, making
the total amount of certificates imme,
diately maturing $1,14O, 100000.

with Jimmys father failed.
Jimmy's equanimity began to return
at sight of his brother -in-law, and
presently he started vivid narration,
! to which Detective Murphy and Lieu
tenant Gallagher listened with interest,
which did not wane even when Jimmy
devoted several paragraphs to the vir-
tues of the kittens which used to creep
into his prison through a hole in the
door
When the men had bundled him into
the limousine out in Long Island Tues
day, in spite of his protests that he
didn't want to go for ride, the car

that they. had not gone far before sheir
caracrashed into another. Neither We

riding IN.
After this a tire blew out. causing
another delay. but within an hour from
the time of his capture, Jimmy reck-
oned, they were approaching the house
IN which he was to be kept prisoner.
RE never saw the house, he said, being
blindfolded before they reached it and
hustled out of it in such haste last
night that be had no time for a single
backward glance.
Went Up Three Steps
When he marched into the house he
went up three steps before reaching
'he front door. Jimmy was sure of his
count, because he had made the same
computation when he was taken out
last night, Then they walked through
= hall. and Jimmy was thrust into tne
room which was to be his cell
The gas was burning as it burned
throughout the four days that jimmy
was prisoner. There was. 81 stove
with fire in it, a couch, table, bed

stairs the old man would look up from
his eternal frying pan, Jimmy said, and
catching his eye, would break his
silence to inform the boy that "they'
were calling his father now, and prob
ably he would be there soon.
Jimmy lost all track Of time, meas
ured as it was only by the irregular ad-
vent of kittens, and was somewhat
astonished when three men. two of
whom were of the party that kidnapped
him, hustled him out into darkness and
sleet last night. He had vaguely sup
posed that it was daytime, because he
had got used to the Elimination in his
room.
This condition may have had some
thing to do with his inability to catch
glimpse of the house in which he had
leen confined. The men walked him
about a block at a brisk pace and then

He pointed to Schnabel and Lotus.
The police believe that Jimmy un-
derestimated the length of his ride
after leaving the house and that it
is not so close to the place of his
discovery as he thinks. However, they
set out with him in search of it. Jim
my's recollection of the fact that his
captors spoke in Italian and even of
the trace Of dialect in their speech
is regarded as important.
SO far as the police have been able
to discover, Jimmy's father, Alberto,
has no feud on his hands with any of
his countrymen, although he had a
violent quarrel a few months ago with
three men who had been working for
him.
