A REVISION
I'm Which All Names But
That of Cicotte Were
Eliminated - Attorneys
Had Revised Only Two
Pages in the First Two
Hours Effort

Chicago, July 26.-When Walter }
Smith, court stenographer who took
down Eddie Cicotte's grand jury con
fession, began reading the confession
in the baseball trial to-day, so many
objections were raised by the defense
that it was necessary to adjourn court
temporarily while the attorneys went
into conference with Judge Hugo
Friend.
Since confession can be used only
against the man making it, Smith was
not allowed to mention any name ex-
cept Cicotte's. The defense maintained
that such words as ball players, out
felders" and "infelders" also were
barred.
Judge Friend ordered the attorney to
reach an agreement on the wording of
the confessions before presenting them
in court, but after two hours of argu-
ment only two pages OF Cicotte's thirty
page statement had been revised.
Indications were that it would take
s!l day TO revise the three confessions.

little island of Metinic, about 20 miles
from here. He sas very much exhaust
ed and nearly starved, having had no
food, but is expected to recover.
The engine became disabled a short
time after Tuning left Nantucket and
his 42-foot boat drifted to sea IN the
fog. He had no nourishment except
a little fruit which he ate early that
-day. not dreaming that he would ex-
perience any trouble, and no water
except rain caught during occasional
showers.
The fog continued thick most of the
time and he never saw a boat during
the l2 days, except the Boston steamer
which was half a mile away. He was
unable to attract the attention of those
aboard the steamer.
Fishermen on Metinic discovered the
drifting boat, apparently unoccupied
last night and going out to it found
Tuning. The White Head coast guard
station was notified and he was taken
there by one OF the station boats. He
was given treatment and will be kept
there a few DAYS until he is able TO
return to Nantucket. His wife was

FRAMING TAX Law
FOR THE COUNTY
Ways and Means Committee Begins
Hearing of Witnesses at Wash
ington.

Washington, d. c.. July 26,-The
ways and means committee took up
the burden of building new tax law
to-day, with numerous witnesses on
hand for the opening session of hear
ings at which suggestions will be heard
on all.phases of the tax revision. Chair
man Fordney of the committee, who
said he would insist on limiting the
hearings to four days, expressed the
belief that the revenue bill would be
ready for the House in about three
weeks, but other House leaders say
they believed it could not be put into
shape that quickly.
Among other tax plans TO which
members of the committee are under
stood to be giving consideration in
their search for methods to raise the
four billion dollars of revenue required
is return to the three cent postage
stamp. Stamp taxes, including levy
on bank checks, also probably will be
considered, although many members OF
the committee are frankly opposed to
the idea.
A fiat tax on corporations to offset
the loss resulting from repeal of the
excess profits levy, which is regarded
as certain, is the most generally sup
ported OF the proposed major assess
ments, having the entire endorsement
also of Secretary Mellon.
Committee leaders said they believed
this would take the form of 10 per
cent levy on corporation incomes, with
the present $1,000 exemption abolished,

Smith, in his opinion on the question

That it is not the duty of the court
to withhold warrants for the governor.
That Governor Small should be per
mitted to voluntarily present himself
before the court.
