Shots Fired in Chase
Draw Crowds to Streets
Reserves Restore Order After
Fugitive Charged With Stab
bing Is Recaptured

A young man, who gave his name as
Charles. Becker and his address as so4
Grant Avenue, the Bronx, was arrested
last night by Patrolman Ward, Of the
West Forty seventh Street station, on
complaint of Joseph Garran, Of 27o
West Fifty-second Street Garran sl-
legged that Becker stabbed him in the
neck with pocket knife while they were
arguing at Broadway and Forty-second
Street
Becker was booked at the West Forty
seventh Street station on charge of
felonious assault. Owing to the fact
that prisoners are not kept in that sta
ton, Becker was ordered transferred to
the West Thirteth Street station. AS
he was being led to the patrol wagon he
broke from the patrolman's grasp. Run
ming east on Forty-seventh Street, he
reached Eighth Avenue before he was
recaptured. The patrolman who chased
him fired three shots before the fugitive
was taken. The firing attracted thou
sands of persons and order was not re-
stored until the reserves were called.

Bootlegggers to Pay
Millions i'm Taxes
On Hidden Incomes
Revenue Department Ferrets
Out Information and De-
ferred Payments; Fines of
Others Total 100 Million

Deferred and undeclared income
taxes and penalties for such defalca-
tions are expected to net the govern
ment an amount in excess of $10O,00O,-
600 this year, it became known ycster-
day All fines and penalties imposed
upon violators of the Volstead act
which have been collected to date are
said to total more than S15,0O0,O00.
Income tax and penalties in one case
alone are said TO amount to $1,653,-
1925. This is the case of Edward i.
was arrested in the Hotel McAlpin last
December on a charge of conspiracy to
violate the Volstead enforcement act.
Prior to the passage Of the dry law
Donegan is said to have been a dock
laborer.
According to deputy collector OF
the internal revenue department who
has been employed in checking the
earnings of bootleggers, large portion
of the $100,000,000 revenue which the
government expects to collect this year
from defaulting taxpayers will be paid
by persons said to have made excessive
incomes in illegal liquor traffic.
Most of the bootleggers who have
been called upon for payment Of taxes
on their true incomes have made
acknowledgment Of their earnings
through attorneys. Two questions
have usually been asked by the legal
representatives Of these men. The first
is whether or not payment on the ac-
tual income does not mean incriminat-
ing the payer. The second, how in
formation of the earnings of these
alleged bootleggers is obtained.
Revenue collectors reply to the first
that it Is not possible to pay taxes
in such a case without incrimination,
but that they must, nevertheless, be
paid. The answer to the second ques-
tion is that most of the information
comes through anonymous letters and
telephone calls. Some Of these So
called "squeals" have been made by men
against their brothers and even, in
some instances, sons against fathers

Br'aziI's Trade Shows
Signs of Recovery
Increase i'm American Ship.
mcnts TO Southern Republic
Expected by Bureau

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Brazil is
showing encouraging signs of emerging
from the commercial stagnation of the
first half of this year, the Commerce
Department said in a statement to-
night.
That republic, it was explained, has
been severely affected by the worldwide
trade depression, especially through
the fall in the price of coffee, its prin-
cipal product, which resulted in an un-
favorable trade balance and 9 depreci-
ated currency.
"The Brazilians, however," the state
ment said, "have been taking measures
to shake off the depression, and the
commercial outlook is now distinctly
brighter. Trade is more brisk. The
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce is anticipating the time wen a
notable upward sweep in the Brazilian
import trade will enable the United
States to make bigger sales of all dis
tnctive American products"

High Labor Cost Stumbling
Block lin Garment Trades

made personal visits to most Of the
large mills and finishing plants in the
East. discovered that in the plants
turning out goods for the garment
manufacturing trades present orders
were scarcely 80 per cent Of produc-
tion while in the plants making goods
distributed over the retail counters by
the yard orders are running from 150
to 200 per cent above production. In
our own business our sales in yards
this year arc about double those Of
last year, but the increase has been
wholely in the goods going to the re-
tailcrs. In fact. our distribution
through the garment manufacturing
trade has been considerably less than
normal.
There Is no doubt in my mind that
the high wages paid garment workers,
which are still at the peak Of the after
the war boom, are responsible for the
high price Of clothing, which is turn
ing thousands of women to home sew
ing Garments are cheaper than a
year ago, but only to the extent that
cloth and trimming prices have been
reduced which is only small proper
tion Of the total cost Of the finished

Harding Presses Button
For Night Illumination
Ten Million Candle Power
Display About Buildings
Where Council VIII Meet

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-President
Harding tonight pressed a button and
threw into action series of illuminat-
ing sets arranged by local organza-
tions about the Pan-American Building
and Continental Hail. in which most Of
the sessions of the armament confer
ence will be held
For several blocks along Seventeenth
Street powerful lamps throwing fiaring
torchlike flames formed "the avenue of
light" which led to the "jeweled portal'
in front of the an-American Union. Be-
tween two obelisks, eighty-fve feet in
height, was hung a sparkling curtain
bearing the flags and coat Of arms of
the visiting nations outlined in multi
colored bulbs.
AT the Capitol an electric imitation
Of the Aurora Borealis sent long rays
of tinted light high in the air. Many
Of the public buildings were specially
lighted for the occasion or were illu-
minated by direct rays from great
searchlights placed on nearby struc-
lures.
The ceremony attending the illumi-
nation was brief President Harding,
accompanied by Vice president and
Mrs. Coolidge, motored through crowd
ed streets to booth near the "jew-
eled portal where a master key con-
trolled all the special installation. A
battery of field guns stationed near The
Washington Monument doomed the
Presidential salute and 80 the high
towers sprang into light a military
band played the national anthem. The
Pre- sident made no address and after
viewing the spectacle for a few min
utes the party returned to the White
House
Those in charge of the electric con-
struction estimated that the equiva-
lent of ten million candles was used in
the sets.

Broaden Argentine Exports

Although exports from the Argen-

cable summary to the Argentine
American Chamber of Commerce here,
progress. is being made in broadening
the variety of commodities shipped
from the South American republic

900 cases in excess over last years
shipments were made in the first ten
months of this year. A successful sale
Of Argentine oranges in New York has

Tax Bill Deadlock
Over Surtax Rates
Seen i'm Conference
Treasury Program Held Up
While House Farm Bloc
Strives to Force Raise in
Proposed Levy to so p. G..

From, The T,ibune's Washington Bsreuu
WASHINGTON,e Nov. 11.-Prospect
of deadlock over the tax bill between
the House and Senate which Will seri-
ousy delay its enactment is causing
apprehension among Republican lead
ers in Congress. 1t also is giving con-
Germ to Secretary of the Treasury Mel
Ion, who is anxious to have the bill
enacted so that the administrative ma
chinery for carrying the new meas
ure into effect may be set in motion.
With the new budget system in opera
tlon 1t becomes more than ever impor-
tant that the Treasury Department be
in position to calculate with accuracy
on the revenues, and it cannot do this
unless it knows what the law is to be.
While there are possibilities of diff
ferences between Che two branches
leading to delays in many Of the SEN
ate amendments, the question of sur
tax rates looms as likely to prove the
most troublesome. The Senate has fixed
the maximum rate of surtax at 30 per
cent. The House fixed it at 32 per
cent.
The House has sent the bill to con-
ference without instructions. At the
same time. a powerful group in the
House, headed by members Of the ag-
rlcultural bloc, has set out to force
through the so per cent rate of the
Senate and has been promised a vote
on this question. Chairman Fordney
of the Ways and Means Commit ttee
and a group of the other House Re
publican leaders, although they prefer
the 81 per cent rate, are understood to
be prepared to compromise on about
40 per cent. But the agricultural bloc
is unwilling to compromise and NAV
force through the higher levy.
Senators who supported the so per
cent surtax rate in the Senate and
forced it through said to-day they did
not intend to accept any lower figure
in conference. They threaten to fight
the adoption Of the conference report
at length if the rate is put at the House
level or is compromised at 40 or there
abouts.
Senator Penrose, chairman of the
Finance Committee, has repeatedly said
that the tax Aill would not require
more than two or three days in confer
ence. This view, however, is not gen
orally shared. The Senate put more
than 800 amendments into the bill
This is unusual, even for tax or tariff
bills. 1t will not be easy to iron out
all the differences which inevitably will
arise in connection with this great
number of amendments, some Of which
are of much Importance
House leaders are eager to finish the
extra session about November 19, and
in any event just before TS>Snksgiving
Unless there is smooth sailing as to
the tax measure, however, it may prove
impossible to carry out this program
