DEMOCRATS OFFER TO
AMEND TAX BILL AS
REPORTED BY REPUBS
Walsh and Gerry Have
Their Ideas About
Income Rates
(By Associated Pressl

Washington, Sept. 22.-Reductions
in the normal tax rates on individual
income of $4,000. or less, and a
graduated tax of from ten percent
to twenty percent on the income of
corporations in place of the sug-
gested fiat rate of fifteen percent,
were proposed in amendments to the
republican tax revision bill offered
today in the senate by Senator Walsh,
of Massachusetts, and Gerry, of
Rhode Island, democrats on the fl
nance committee.
To make up the $1O5,OOO,OOO loss
from the tax on individual income it
was proposed that tax of one cent
gallon on gasoline be imposed at
the source and that the capital stock
tax yielding around $60,000,000 an
,nually, be retained. The mapority bill
provides for repeal of this tax, eff
fective in 1922.
Under the Gerry amendment indi-
vidual tax payers whose net income
is less than $4,000 would pay a nor
NAL rate of two per cent instead of
four percent on $4,000, as provided
in the revised bill; tax payers whose
net income is between $500 and
$4,000 would pay a normal tax of
four percent on the excess over $5,-
900 instead of eight percent on all
over $4,000, and tax payers whose
net income is between $1,000 and
$4,000 would pay normal tax of
six percent on the excess over $10,-
900 instead of eight percent on the
excess over $4,000.
Incomes in excess of $4,000 would
pay at the rate of eight percent on
all over that amount, but it was ex-
planned they would receive the bene-
lit of the lowered normal tax up to
the $4,000. The sur-tax rates, as
fixed by the finance committee, would
remain unchanged.
Under the corporation income tax
offered by Senator Walsh
the rate on the first 100000 of cor
poration net income would be ten per
cent, that on the income between
100000 and 100000 would be fif-
teen percent and that on the income
in excess of 100000 would be twenty
percent.

Invades Floor 'Of Senate
Try AssOciafeti pressl


Washington, Sept. 22.-The kukluS
khan and religious intolerance en-
teered into debate on the floor of the
senate during discussion today of the
beer bill.
Senator Watson, democrat, Georgia,
asserted that religious liberty had
not been secured in the United States
under the charter granted Lord Bal
timore, while Senator Stanley, de-
mocrat, Kentucky, insisted that
there was only one place in all the
civilized world where man could wor-
ship his God according to dictates of
his conscience and that was in the
province of the Catholic nobIeman,
Lord Baltimore"
81 am here to fight intolerance,
whether it whetS its knife and lights
its torch in a kuklaX camp in Georgia,
or whether in western Ohio it takes
the form of these miserable general
variants" added Senator Stanley,
referring in the latter case to the
anti-saloon league which has its
headquarters at Westville, O.
Il will meet the kuklux khan issue
"hen it comes up" declared Senator
Watson. "Until some crime is proven
against that society or some other
secret society with which this coun-
try is honeycombed, | will withhold
my judgement until the guilt of the
accused it established by competent
testimony"

ELEVEN TENTATIVE
JURORS CHOSEN IN
TRIAL OF jill. POPE
Defense Contesting Ev-
cry Step of Ground
In Trial
WAS DAY OF. ARGUMENT
Question of Qualification
of Juror Is Point
At Issue

Jacksonville, Sept. 22.-1Eleven
tentative jurors had been seated in
the trial of John H. Pope, local at
torney charged with murder, when
court adjourned for today.
Thirty-fve men had been examin-
ed. Of the eleven talesmen tenta-
lively accepted four were passed
yesterday. In the afternoon session
today only one man was accepted
out of nine. Two of the prospective
jurors were disqualified today be
cause they did not believe in capital
punishment, while two others said
they were so prejudiced against the
defendent they could not give him
fair trial.
No Jury Before Monday
While it was believed the tenta-
tive panel would be completed to-
morrow it was not considered likely
a jury would be finally selected be-
fore Monday. Both sides have already
made known their intention of chal-
lenging, for couse, several of the
men already seated. Each side is
also permitted ten peremptory chal-
lenges. Thirty eight men remain in
the present venire.
The defense brought up a point to-
day which, had it been, sustained,
would have indefinitely delayed the
selection of jury, giving the de-
fense the additional time it has Wig
orously sought. The argument had
to do with an opinion or impression
gained by a prospective juror from
reading a newspaper. Attorney E.
A. Waybright, of the defense, cited
some recent provisions of the statute
and argued that anyone having form
ed an impression or opinion was not
qualified to serve as a juror, des-
pite the assertion that he would not
be influenced in rendering a verdict
on the face of evidence introduced.
The point was apparently well taken
by the court, who spent considerable
time in examining various authori-
ties. Assistant State Attorney w. A.
HalloWes, Jr., counter argued that
lnder the diSsents Interpretation of
the cOntroverted provisions it would
be impossible to ever obtain an in
telligent jury. The defense was fl
nally overruled and an exception
noted.
Sea Captain on Tentative jury
The last talseman qualified today
was Captain Halstead Roberts,
seafaring man. He said he had known
all three of the Pope boys since they
were in their teens and also knew
their father He was positive, how
ever, he could render a fair verdict
and was tentatively accepted. The
defendants two brothers, Frank, of
Daytona, and Charles, of New York,
are here with him, the former, a
lawyre participating in the defense.

New York Sept. 22.-District At
torney Swami today obtained from
Lowell Sherman, motion picture
actor, a graphic account of the party
in San Francisco which had for an
epilogue the death of Virginia Rappe.
Sherman, who attended the party,
staged in the room of Fatty Ar

automobile with a red haired woman.

publicity and not Mr.. Swami, and
that he had been waiting for an in
vitation to appear at the District
Attorneys office. He professed him
self ready to return to the Pacific
coast to testify at the Arbuckle trial.
An assertion which appeared sew
eral times in Sherman's former state
ment mailed tonight to District At
torney Brady at San Francisco was
that those who had attended the
party had not felt great concern over
Miss Rappe's illness, the concensus
of opinion being that she simply

had occurred between him and the
girl after they entered the bedroom
and closed the door, and Arbuckle
