Senator Glass Says He Is Not
Seeking Controversy,
However.

LYNCHBURG. Va. Sept. 1s.-
When Senator Carter Glass learned
today Of the denial Of Admiral Sims
that he had told Senator Glass
he favored development of the
American government-owned mer-
chant marine. he reahirmed his own
statement as follows:
TT may be that I was mistaken
In what Admiral Sims meant to
say. but was not in the least
mistaken in what he did say.
recall distinctly that when he de-
clared that the United States was
traditionally opposed to a ship

gress forty years ago, but subsidy
or no subsidy ! do not believe the
American people will ever allow
their country to be caught in the
FIX in which II found itself at the
outbreak of this war
ITO repeat" said Senator Glass,
Admiral Sims very likely knows
better than / what he intended to
say, but know perfectly well
what he did say. Two of my Con-
gressional colleagues were present
when the statement was made and
the three Of us discussed the amaz-
ing nature of II after leaving the
office Of Admiral Sims. However, i
wish 1t to be understood that I
did not present the matter in any
contrc versial spirit in my brief re-
marks In the Senate. nor in any

and Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatiyes.
A plea that the navy yard work
ers be given a wage which will
enable them to properly ciothe, feed
and house their families. and that
a hearing be given the workers by
the officials of the Navy Department
before the wage cut is finally de-
cided upon. was contained in a letter
written by NJ. D. Rosenberg, presi-
dent of the Bank of Commerce and
Savings and former president OF the
Bankers Association of Washing
ton, and sent to President Harding
and Secretary of Navy DENLY.
A similar plea. pointing out that
the general reduction of wages at
the navy yard would place the
wages of the workers at a lower
level than the prevailing cost of
living. and would make it impos-
sible for them to properly care for
their families and to give their
children the advantages of an edu-
cation, was the gist of a letter sent
to the President and Secretary of
the Navy by Henry Lansburgh.

Capitol and L streets to witness the
tests. The big touring car stood

miles per hour.
Before the final event, the three
representative models went through
the tests of acceleration from
standing still, gears locked in high,
and also demonstrated small turn
ing circles. On a first test, one of
the cars, fully loaded, accelerated
from standing still to seventeen
miles per hour in ten seconds, for
ward motion being obtained by
slipping the clutch. On a second
trial, the same car, similarly loaded,
picked up to twenty miles per hour

TAX BILL READY
TOGO OSENATE
FOR APPROVAL
Committee Completes Draft
After Shelving Smoot's
Sales Tax.

Final action Fas taken by the
Senate Finance Committee on the
House tax bill as amended. after
the Smoot per cent manufac-
turers' sales tax proposal had been
definitely shelved. The Smoot sales
tax plan was discussed at length
but when it appeared that a ma
jority of the. members were against
il. Senator Smoot indicated that he
would not press 1t further in COM
mittee but would reserve the right
to present it on the floor of the
Senate.
Senator Penrose. chairman, was
directed to report the revised bill
ito the Senate when it convenes to-
morrow. Senator Penrose predicted
that the bill would be passed by the
Senate within two weeks and that
consideration in conference would
not require much more than a week.
He expressed confidenc that the bill
would reeach the President by the
latter part of October.
A few minor changes were made
in the bill yesterday. 1t was de-
cided to exempt from the 10 per
cent tax on admissions all charges
of 10 cents or less. The committee
also decided to change the basis for
the imposition of the proposed tax
on hotel charges for rooms to tran
sients. Instead of a tax of 10 per
cent on the excess amount over IS
for a single room and IS for a
double room the tax will be i'm
posed on Spe entire charge.

.PENROSE PREDICTS
TAX BILL PASSAGE.
BEFORE NOVEMBER.
Senate Finance Commit
tee Finishes Revision
OF Measure.

The revenue bill will be law by
the end of October, in the opinion
Of Senator Boies Penrose, of Penn
sylvania. chairman OF the Finance
Committee.
Penrose made this prediction yes
terday. when the committee con-
cluded its revision of the tax mea-
sure, and turned 1t over to special
lists to be put In final form for
presentation to the Senate wednes-
day.
His statement.
$50 far as the business of the
Senate will permit, 1t is purposed
to take up the bill and press II
for consideration" said Penrose
Opposition is expected from GER
tain quarters to the repeal of the
excess profits>tax and the reduction
in surtax rates. But II is not be-
lieved there Is any intention to de-
lay the bill. but rather the inclin-
alton is to expedite 1t.
1T Is reasonable to expect that
the bill can be passed in the Senate
within two weeks. Not more than a
week. should be required in confer
ence. It Is entirely safe to pre-
dict that the bill will be sent to
the President in the latter part OF
October at the latest.
1T is extremely desirable to
have the bill become law as soop as
possible, so Treasury officials may
have ample time to formulate regu.
lations.'
Add Hotel Tax.
The committee yesterday made
two changes in the measure. The
tax on admissions of 10 cents or
less was exempted, an alteration
that means a loss in revenue of
81, 200, 900. A tax of 10 per cent was
| imposed on hotel room rates where
the charge is more than IS daily
for one person or IS daily for two.
The hotel is to pay the tax.
The committee agreed in princi-
pie to the proposal of Senator Calder
for a tax Of s6.40 a gallon on all
distilled spirits withdrawn from
bond. except those used industrially-
Calder will suggest an amendment
for this tax when the bill is before
| the Senate. His proposal for the
legalization of 2.75 per cent beer.
with the object of imposing a tax
on 1t, was not brought up before the
committee.
Smoot Talks on Sales Tax.
Senator Smoot again discussed HIS
proposed sales tax, but did not push
II. He reserved the right to offer
it as an amendment to the bill in
the Senate.
Treasury statisticians now are
figuring how much the bill will pro-
duce. The first estimate is for
3,200. 100000 during the ensuing
fiscal year. and s2.7oo, 600, 900 for the
years thereafter.

Mr. D. w Sims. General Superin-

lectures delivered by him have dealt
largely with practical methods for
solving the Sunday School problem
of increased attendance and eff
cheney. His address on Monday night
telling of the work of the State
The daily times., 1921-11-29

Sunday School Association was OF
intense interest to all present, his
subject being "Our purpose and Our
Task
In speaking Of the work of the AS
sociation Mr. Sims said. It seeks help
full cooperation. not union. Its con-
ventions and Institutes discuss me-
thods of work, not church doctrine
and are free and open to all who will
attend. Again. in territories where
there are no Sunday Schools the Asso-
citation does not suggest the organ
ization of union Sunday Schools but
urges the organization of denomina-
tional Sunday Schools of the denomi-
nations preferred by the people Of the
Community.
"The purpose Of the local Sunday
School. this convention and the State
association is to promote Bible study
through the Sunday School. The
reasons FOR the promotion of the
Sunday School were first, the Sunday
taxes. He said that Judge in a near
by State had made the following
statement: I'm the eight years that
1 have been judge of Carroll County
Court about 1900 people have come
before me for various kinds of crimes
and only one of them was a member
of a Sunday School," "One dollar
|spent in formation is worth ten spent
in reformation" declared the speak
er. when the work of reformation is
compared to the work that is done
in the Sunday School. it is like put
ting an ambulance at the bottom of a
precipice to care for the injured when
with less effort fence could be built
at the top to prevent them from
falling over. The Sunday School, ''he
said, lis the fence at the top of the
precipice. Mr.. Sims gave some start
ling figures In regard to crime in this
country and Germany indicating that
people must be educated in heart as
well as head.
The second reason for promoting
Sunday Schools was that it was a
great church builder. Seventy-five per
cent of the churches of America have
been built on a Sunday School.
The third reason he gave was the
Sunday School pays the largest Giyi-
dend of any business on the glcbe--
putting in ten per cent in dollars
and getting out 80 per cent in re-
suits. We get from the Sunday
School" said he, "s5 per cent of all
saved souls. 80 per cent of au cru,c ch
workers. such as deacons, elders and
stewards, 95 per cent of all preachers
and 80 per cent of all missionaries.
"Our task, Mr.. Sims said, is to
form enough Sunday Schools to teach
