WOULD CUT INCOME
 TAX TO 3 PER CENT.
Failing in This, Bacharach Would
 Boost Exemption $500
MEN GETTING UNDER $4,00O

Committee Already Tentatively Agrees
 to Allow s2OO More Exemption For
 Each Dependent of Heads of Fam lilies.
 Washington, Aug. 12.-Further de- lay in revision of the tax law was looked for today because of reason of conferences of republican mem< bers of the House ways and means committee and the senate finance committee regarding the American valuation provisions of the Fordney tariff measure.
 May Change Exemption.
 Many changes in the bill remain to be decided upon. Representative Bacharach of New Jersey plans to renew his effort to lower the income taxes paid by single and married men having annual net incomes of $4,00O or less. MT. Bacharach said he pre- ferred that the rate on such incomes should be reduced from four to three per cent, but indicated that if this proposal failed an attempt would be made to increase the exemption by $500. The committee already has agreed tentatively to increase the ex- emptions to heads of families having dependents by $200 for each depen- dent.
 Back Tax Settlements.
 Administrative features of the new bill understood to have been agreed upon include a provision designed. to simplify the process of settlement of back tax claims. The time of settle ment would be limited to three years instead of five except that additional time might be granted by the secre- tary of the treasury.
 Simpler Tax Return Form.
 Agreement also was said to have been reached to give the secretary authority to call in representatives of taxpayers in an effort to simplify the present tax return forms. These forms are now drawn by treasury experts and it was said that committee mem bers felt that if these officers had the benefit of the advice of tax pay CTS familiar with the subject, the forms could be improved.
 New Candy Tax Proposed.
 The committee has yet to act On the proposal to substitute gr1duAt- ed manufacturers tax on candy ac- cording to cost in place of the recent flat tax of five per cent. This matter is now before a subcommittee.

Place Gun Was Found Corresrords With Deductions Made by Police in duplicating Young Burch in Slay. ing of J. Belton Kennedy.
 Los Angeles, Aug. 1.-The discovery of the butt of a double barreled shotgun in the Pacific ocean near Santa Monica, was announced today by >sheriffs and officers Investigating the staying of J. Belton Kennedy.
 The butt was found by a camper. it was announced. It was lying on the beach after the surf had receded.
 Newspaper Gets Weapon. The camper, William wylie of Los Angeles, said he found the butt last Saturday, but did not learn until yes- terday shotgun was sought in con- nection with the Kennedy staying. He then turned the butt over to a local newspaper which offered a reward for discovery of the weapon used in the staying.
 IF Gauge Shotgun.
 
 At the sheriff's office 1t was stated the butt apparently was from a 12 gauge shotgun. Two 12 gauge cartridges were found near the Ken nedy cottage where the young broker was found last night with the back of his head blown off. The metal parts of the gun butt were rusted when turned over to the sheriff but Wylie 1t was declared, said they were bright and shiny when he found the butt.
 Circumstantial Evidence The discovery, Wylie said, was made near a point where the divers em- ployed by Dist. Attorney Woolwine had been searching for the missing weapon. The district attorney select ed this point because the mileage registered on the speedometer of an automobile alleged to have been rent ed Friday by Arthur c. Burch, in dicted for the alleged murder, showed the car travelled just far enough to reach it.,
