league was doing or had failed to do,
Count Gimeno, a Spanish delegate,
stirred the South Americans as they
had never before been stirred In the

ring for Fight.

Washington Retroactive repeal OF
the excess profits tax in order to re-
duce the tax burden of business dur
ing the present year has been decided
upon tentatively by the republican
members of the senate, finance COM
mittee.
This was -.ctory for the admins
tration tax position as outlined by
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon.
Four of the six tax changes in the
house bill proposed by Mellon were
accepted by the republican membres
of the committee, thus indicating that
senate republicans, in general will
line up with the administration in OPP
position to various features of the
house tax Kill.
The other three proposals urged by
Mellon that were adopted we're.
Increase Of corporation income
tax to Is per cent as OF last Jan. l.
2-Tax on proprietary medicines,
perfumery and cosmetics as OF Jan. l.
3-Elimination of the capital stock
tax as of next jan l.
The suggestion Of Mellon that the
maximum rate on surtaxes be re-
duced to rs uer cent next Jan. was
rejected in the house and the maxi
mum of 80 per cent adopted. His pro-
posals to cut transportation taxes in
half as OF next Jan. 1, and repeal them
on Jan. 1, 1923, was also overridden
In the House provision for complete
repeal next January accepted.
Repeal of the profits tax caused a
hot debate among the republican
members, and Melons suggestion
was adopted by majority OF one. Re-
peal of the transportation tax pro.
vision also was adopted by close vote.
While the committee has definitely
decided the tax bill must provide So
zoe, 900, 900, asked by Mellon, no plan
to make up the losses that will result
from the elimination Of the transpor-
tation taxes has yet taken shape.
Senator Smoot, of Utah, the chief
advocate OF the sales tax, declared
he would offer his bill providing for a
two per cent turnover tax on all goods,
wares and merchandise as a substitute
for certain sections OF the bill, before
1t Is reported to the senate. IL re-
iactad ha said ha would offer II in the
senate.
Meanwhile, the democrats In the
senate are preparing to launch party
fight against the tax bill. Senator Sim
mons of North Carolina, ranking NIL
nority member Of the finance commit
tee, declared he would urge Minority
Leader Underwood to call party eau

RITUAL OF AGONY
Remarkable Religious Rites Dear

Two Days Of Fasting Followed by
Hours Of the cruelest Tortures
Self-lnflieted.

A religious sect Of the Malays has
just been keeping festival dear to
them as Christmas Is TO u.s. writes a
correspondent from Singapore TO the
London Daily Mail. The feast started
with procession early on Sunday
morning, when they carried a costly
idol from one temple to another two
miles distant.
A silver chariot, with canopy and
fais, on which the Idol had been car.
rled, was placed at the entrance to an
avenue Of palms leading into the tenn
pie and lined with banners worked
with allegorlcal designs. In the porch
were four great hollow statues, gro
tesque affairs like efigies destined for
bonfire; these had been carried by
men walking inside them. Here also
were two fine white bullocks adorned
with silver ankets-animals kept
solely for the purpose of drawing the
chariot in the annual procession.
AS | was about to enter the tenn
pie a tall, strengthening native
emerged and told me TO remove my
boots. AS did so and took them out

on the steps. then picked up the largest
piece and returned. followed him.
The temple Itself was dark and
dirty Smoky flares lighted up two
affairs before which priests we're NUT
tering prayers, tearing up green leaves
and throwing the fragments on the
ledge at the base of the idol.

the foot of the altar; there | saw him
place his portion of coconut beside
many other half-nuts, each holding
two bananas and tender leaf, which
Is eaten as food by the Malays. The
priest blessed them and offered them
TO the idol, which was fully revealed
for few seconds by the light of a
torch.
Each mon then claimed his fruit and
nut, together with a pinch of powder
like sndalwood ash. With this he

The idol was brought back In torch

Monday the natives practlced the
crazlest feats of ndurance-Indeed, I
could hardly believe the evidence Of

In the temple, where the air was
fetid with the smell of burning sandal
wood and perspiring humanity, were
men with hundreds Of little darts
sticking into the body, wearing shoes
containing spikes which penetrated
deep into the foot, and drawing
wagons containing offerings Of fruit
