him from the federal disciplinary bar

buddy and the man who saved his
life while the two men were with the

he wanted to repay part of the debt he
felt he owed Jones in saving his life,

living in Canada, is being sought by

WAR DECLARED ON MEAT PRICES
Government Officials Call Retailers
Profiteers

Washington-A campaign against
"meat profiteers" will be begun within
few days by the department Of agri-
culture, which is determined to bring
down retail meat prices, it was learned
Thursday from high officials of the de.
partment.
The department has just completed
survey which shows, officials said
that retail meat prices the country
over are on an average III per cent
higher than before the war. The sur.
vey shows most of this is going into
the pockets of retail meat dealers as
profit.
Various means are being considered
by the department to force down mea,
prices. One plan is to permit big
packers to establish retail stores and
sell directly to the public. Another
pain is to induce "chain stores" such
as are maintained in practically all
cities to sell meats.
Still another is to foster establish
ment Of cooperative meat markets.

MEASURE FACES
THIRD REORAF1
TAX REVISION BILL FACES THIRD
REWRITING By THE HOUSE
AND SENATE CoNFEREES
Bill Passed by Senate, Goes Back to
Be Sent to Conference For
Final Shaping; No Ma
teriaI Alterations

WashingtOn-The tax revision bill
now faces its third rewriting, this time
by the house and senate conferees
The measure finally was passed ear
~ Tuesday by the senate, 80 to "a, at
the end Of continuous session last
ing nearly sixteen hours 1t will be re-
turned to the house when that body
reconvenes Wednesday and Republic
an leaders there plan to send it to con-
ference Thursday. 1t may reach the
president for his approval late in the
month.
At rough estimate treasury ex-
perts say the bill in Its present form
would net approximately $3.50, OOO, 900,
or $200,OOO,OOO less than the present
law, and about the amount of revenue
which treasury officers have said the
government must have. Eventually
the bill, the experts assert, would re-
duce the nations tax toll by about
$3.50, 100000 a year. While they un-
doubleday will make many changes in
the measure, the conferees are not ex-
pected materially to alter the revenue
total. AS the bill now stands there are
just the major provisions on which the
house and senate agree. They are re-
peal of the excess profits tax and the
transportation taxes on next January
l, and the retention of the present tax
on corporation capital stoc.
Other outstanding provisions of the
bill are:
A reduction in the maximum rate
from Is per cent on all over $1,OOO,O 600
to 30 per cent on all over 100000, as
against the house reduction to 80 per
cent on all over $4,000
Retention of the house provision
granting increased normal exemptions
Of $500 to heads of families having net
incomes of $4,000 or less and 5000 on
accounts of dependents.
Repeal of the $1,000 normal exemp-
ton to the corporations except in the
case Of those having net incomes of
$25, 600 or less.
An increase in the estate tax maxi
mum rate from 25 per cent on all over
$1O,OOO,OOO to so per cent on all over
$1OO.OOOOOO. Increased toxes OH medi-
cinal beer, wine and whisky.
A provision taxing gifts of property
by any person at rates ranging from
per cent on the amount between $780,
600 and $4,000 to 25 per cent on all
over $1OOOO,OOO.

legged Arch william Accused
Of Luring Ten Fiancees
To Villa

Versailles-COurt officials gathered
here Monday for the opening In the
Seine-et-Oise assizes Of the trial Of
Henri Desire Landru the "Bluebeard
OF Gambais." who is charged with elev-
en- murders. Ten of his alleged VIC
tins were women, to whom he Is said
to have promised marriage, and the
eleventh the son of one of them. He
Is alleged to have burned his victims
bodies.
The trial of Henri Desire Landru,
who has become known throughout
France as "The Bluebeard Of Gam
bais," on eleven counts of murder
growing out Of the disappearance of
ten women to whom he had promised
marriage, and the son Of one of them,
bids fair to rank among the celebrated
criminal cases Of France.
Landru was arrested in April, 1919,
and has spent his time for the past
two and half years In answering or
evading questions of the police, the in
vestigating magistrate, and other
court officials us to the fate of his fl
ancees. He has proved most stub
born as we'll as very clever prisoner
and the police admit that their case
against him IL not as strong as they
should like 1t to be.
The so-called Bluebeard rented a
small villa at GamDaIs, few miles
from Paris, and 1t IS there that the
police charge he did away with the
women, all trace Of whom has been
absolutely lost. 1t Is alleged that he
advertised in various matrimonial
agency papers and chose from the let.
ters received those signed by women
with a little property and no near rel
atives.
A short courtship would follow, then
journey to the Gambais villa in the
company Of the fiancee. The accusa
ton says that 1andru always returned
alone. The police claim to have proof
that women were seen to enter the
villa, but none was heard of after
ward. A few weeks later. whatever
bonds, stocks, furniture, jewelry thu
women possessed would be sold.
The villa and Gambais has beer
searched, ransacked, practically de
molished by the police IN an effort t.
find the remains of the missing wo
men. A few bones were found, some
hair, but not enough to form "corpu

The statement was holly denied by

lenged.
There were indications that the
house, like the senate, was on the

soldiers were hanged without trial.
mo American was shot in France
without trial." said Mr.. Johnson, but
there may have been cases where they
were shot in the line of battle by their
own forces as traitors or as mentally
deranged."
From the Democratic side members
attempted to break in on the speaker,
who could not make himself heard at
times because of the hubbub.
Commenting on the charge of illeal
iangings made by Senator Watson,
MIR. Johnson said:
mo matter how we agree or dis
agree with the former secretary of
war or General Pershing, l know the
charge that men were taken out and
hanged without cOurtmartial cOnvic.
ton is not true. And l know that no
officer or private carried out any such
orders for illegal hangings.'
