HOUSE ACCEPTS
 HALF HUNDRED. AMENDMENTS TO PARTY TAX BILL
fRepubIican A. p. Leased WIrel

WASHINGTON. Aug. 19.-More than half a hundred amendment to the republican tax bill, most of them of minor importance, were accepted today by the house in a five-hour session, marked by occasional flashes between the majority and minority and renewal of tho personal con- troverssy between Chairman Ford ney of the ways and means commit tee and Representative Byrnes, dem- ocrat, of South Carolina.
 A number of other changes in the bill, including elimination of the provisions for 5 per cent tax on the manufacturers of proprietary medicines. tooth powder and paste and mouth washes. and reduction in the tax on cereal beveragess from 6 to 4 cents gallon. are expected to be proposed tomorrow by the ways and means committee before the measure is passed late in the day.
 Republicans and democrats of the house were a unit today in approv- ing one amendment, that striking out the section of the bill imposing an annual license tax of s10 on ven ors of soft drinks. On a few other changes there were sharp divisions. but many of the minor ones merely changing language or punctuations were put through without a single member on either side voting on the yea and nay calls. All of the committee changes proposed were adopted.
 Under one amendment, approved over democratic opposition, corpora tions making gifts for charitable purposes would be relieved from tax on such sums unless they exceed per cent of the net income of the do- mating company. The big fight of the day was over the amendment defin- ing as foreign trade corporations such domestic corporations as derive 50 per cent or more of their gross in- come from the active conduct of business outside the United States, and, similarly, as foreign traders those American. firm who derive so per cent or more of their gross in- come from sources outside of this country.
 The democrats claimed this propo- sal was a discrimination against purely domestic corporations in the matter of taxes The Republicans essary to relieve foreign trade cor porations and foreign traders from taxation on income received from sources outside the country in order that they might compete with for eign concerns.
 The amendment was adopted, 103 to S5, II republicans joining in the negative vote.

 SENATOR bORAH
 DEMANDS NAMES
 |OF CROOK" ON SHIPPING BOARD
rRepublIcan A. p. Leased wire1

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1s.-Demand that congress get the names of ''the men who had been guilty of crook edness in the affairs of the shipping board" was made in the senate today by Senator Borah, Republican of Idaho, during consideration of a de- ficiency bill of $4S,500.000 for the board.
 Declaring that the effort to get at the bottom of shipping board man. agement was not partisan, Senator Glass, Democrat of Virginia, insisted if crooks should be found they would prove to be Democrats and Republi- cans alike. an opinion in which Sem ator Borah agreed.
 Throughout the debate on the bill, Chairman Lasker was both criticized and defended. Senators New, Re- publican of Indiana, and Williams, Democrat of Mississippi, declared the sooner the government got rid of the whole shipping board outfit the better it would be for the coun- try, Senator New cnaracteriZing it as a terrible mess" and a "stupendous wreck"
 Discussing future policy, Senator Jones, Republican of Washington, said Chairman Lasker had informed him today that he was beginning to think it the wiser plan to cut the operation of ships to one hundred or less, and to build up from that.
 Senator Lodge, the Republican leader, declared nothing was to be gained "by attempting to turn this matter into politics"
 Chairman Warren of the appropri- ations committee, in charge of the bill said that Chairman Lasker had got a better grasp of the boards af- fairs since he appeared recently be- fore a house committee.
 MT. Lasker is able and honest Senator Warren said, and he will pull this board out in some shape if we give him proper help"

Late last night the northside metropolis was virtually cut off from the rest of the valley. Telephone lines were broken and roads under water, though a car bearing two rep resentatives of The Republican made the trip from Glendale to Phoenix about II o'clock, but with consider able difficulty.

 Buried Beneath Debris Just as Guy Richards reached the ditch running by the sidewalk the entire front of the brick garage build ing was swept out by the wind. and Richards was literally buried beneath a pile of brick. His brother was pinned beneath a big steel beam and the wooden framework, while Mrs. Anderson and the youngster probably would have met instant death had not Anderson hurled them back into the building and safety. at the risk of his own life He was slightly injured on the arm and shoulder by the falling debris.
 Volunteer helpers quickly extri- cated the Richards brothers. to find that Guy had been killed instantly. His body was brought to Phoenix. Carl was found to have broken hip and possibly injuries of the back He was taken home and attended by physicians, who said he would re- cover.
 While the grammar school auditor ium and the Anderson garage were | the only buildings wrecked by the storm, few structures escaped with out damage.

In addition. it contained about $10.0oo worth of school supplies and books. Its destruction probably will delay the opening of school in Glendale, as the structure included two class rooms, the administrative office and the library besides the assembly hall proper.

 DAUGHERTY ASKS FOR 18 FEDERAL JUDGES TO HELP CLEAR D0CKETS
[RepubIIcan A. ?. Leased wIrel


 WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Legisla- tion creating IS federal judges at large was recommended today to President Harding and to the iu- dietary committee of the house and senate by Attorney General Daugh- erty as part of plan for reorganiza- tion of the country's judicial system to remedy the congested conditions of federal court dockets all over the country.
 Provision would also be made un- der the plan for an annual conference of the nine senior circuit judges with the chief Justice of the United States and the attorney general to consider business and increasing the effi- ciency of the courts.
 The new judges. it was explained, would not be assigned to any partic- ular circuit but would be available for service wherever court business piled up.
 Investigation of the alarming sit- uation" in the federal courts. MT Daugherty said, revealed that on June 30, 1921, there were 41,0OO cases sending as compared with 11S,744 cases at the end of the previous fis- cal year, while in some districts there hdQ been an increase Of SUU, QUO per cent in criminal business since 1912
 While this condition is largely created by the legislation relative tc prohibition" he said, ''and although the number of liquor cases vii doubtless decrease as the states pass enforcement laws and as public opin- ion changes in the districts where enforcement is now difficult, never. theless such decrease will not occul in the near future and even then th4 increase in civil business due tt growth in population, the ending O the war period, and the continued de. velopment of the country, will, in ou judgment prevent any appreciable re lief to the federal courts.
 "The present congested condition o the dockets is intolerable and result in loss of evidence, the abandonment of cases, the denial and frequent de feat of justice, and lowers the higl standards of the federal courts. It i my opinion that this legislation i. practical, economical and most neces sary."
 The proposed plan of judcal reor ganization was drawn by voluntar commission composed of Judge Joh F. Sater of Ohio, Judge w. l. Grub of Alabama, Judge John C. Pollock c Kansas. District Attorney William + Attorney Charles F. Clyne of Chicago working with Chief Justice Taft an MT. Daugherty.
