rRepubIlcan A. p. Leased WIre1

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S-After re- jecting two proposals for a graduated income tax on corporationS-eachb by a margin of a single vote-the sem ate adopted today, 36 to 26. the if nance committee amendment to the tax revision bill, providing for flat 15 per cent tax.
 Proponents of a graduated levy. or of some other plan that would pre- vent the proposed increase of 50 per cent in the tax of thousands of cor poration making small profits, gave notice that they would renew their fight later. They expressed confi- dence tonight that they would win.
 Senator Walsh. Democrat of Mas sachusetts, and author of two amendments voted down today. S3 to 32- said he had been assured by Sen ators Johnson, Republican of Cali fornia. and Myers, Democrat of Mon tana. who were absent at the roll call today. that they would support his amendment when next presented. Senator Walsh also expects to win over some Republicans who voted against him today.
 Waish's Proposal
 The first proposal of the Massa- chusetts senator was for a tax of 10 Der cent on the first S100.000 of in come, IS per cent on the next S-uu,Vuu and 20 per cent on all over S300OOO, with an added provision that corpo- rations which did not pay an excess profit tax in 1920. corporations whose net incomes did not exceed eight per cent on the investment should pay only at the 10 per cent rate.
 The fight over the estate tax sec ton followed It led the senate into a night session and resulted in the adoption. A to 15, of the compromise agreement to increase the present maximum rate of 25 per cent on all that part of an estate over Sl5.00O,- GOO to 50 per cent on all over $1OO,- GOO. 900.
 Senator Walsh of Massachusetts. then proposed that there be a tax l of 15 per cent on the transfer of tax ! free securities in an estate, with an exemption of S5O 000 of such securi- ties. He said this would test the sincerity of senators who had eN- pressed the wish that the govern ment could obtain some tax from this class of securities. The Walsh 1 amendment led to another long fight. but was repected without record vote-

FIRST SESSION IF DELEGATES TO
 ARMS FARLEY TO DE HELD NOv. F
[RepubIIcan A. p. Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2s-Definite decision to hold the first session of the conference on limitation of arma- ments on the morning of Saturday, Nov. F, instead of Armistice day, was announced today at the state department. It was found impossible to reconcile even an informal gather ing of the conference on Armistice day with the program of ceremonies connected with the burial of Amer fca's unknown soldier.
 The conference will be called to or der by Secretary Hughes and the welcoming address to the delegates by President Harding will follow. It is expected that the conference then will perfect its organization and ad- journ to take up It's real deliberations. The appointment of committees to consider special topics, arrangement of conferences in which those nations invited to participate only in the dis cussions Of Far Eastern and Pacific problems may be present, and simi- lar matters will be deferred until the following Monday.
 Progress is neing made in the prep aration of the auditorium in the building of the Daughters of the American Revolution, adjoining the Pan-American building, where the open sessions of the conference will be held. The delegates will sit at a horseshoe shaped or rectangular ta- ble during these sessions with the interpreters and other aides in the open space inside the table and the delegates themselves facing each oth- CT around the outer side of the con- ference table.
 The general public probably cannot be represented at these sessions ex- cept through the press and through members of congress who may be given seats in addition to those which will be provided for the use of the various embassies and legations in Washington. The seating capacity of the hall wifi not admit of any wide distribution of seats. as the total number available for all purposes will be less than 1900.
 Meetings of the various committees appointed by the conference to study special subjects will be held in the Pan-American union. the office room provided in the navy department for the use of the conference delegations, or elsewhere as may be necessary, and it is expected that these meet ings will not be open to the public or the press except on special occasions when the conference may decide that it will be advisable to throw them open. As far as the open sessions are concerned it was emphasized to- day that the state department was anxious to provide every possible means of pub icity in order that the general public could know what was | transpiring

NESb|T,
 FINANCES GONE 1. ATTEMPTS LIFE
IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel


 NEW YORK, Oct. 2S. - Evelyn Nesbit was resting comfortably to- night, after taking an overdose of morphine when a city marshal began moving furniture from her apart ment.
 It was vivid day in the life of Miss Nesbit, once the wife of Harry K. Thaw, later the wife of a dancer, Jack Clifford. and now Evelyn Nes- bit again, no longer a dancer herself, but owner of a tea room in the theater district.
 Her financial distress. which caused all the excitement today, came to light a month ago when a city marshal appeared ar her tea room with an eviction warrant Miss Nes- bit arranged to pay overdue rent on the $500 a month tea room and her s150 a month apartment upstairs. The marshal went away.
 Today another came on a similar mission and began taking furniture out to the street while Miss Nesbit sobbed, wrung her hands and franti- cally called her lawyer on the tele- phone. The lawyer obtained a truce of few hours with the landlord. and Miss Nesbit began calling friends in the hope of raising some cash. In this she failed.
 She telegraphed to her mother in Philadelphia, and a few minutes af- terward leaned out of the window and screamed: i've taken enough nor phine to kill 20 persons. falling back with the cry that she was going to die.
 An ambulance surgeon came quickly and used a stomach pump.
 The landlord on hearing about the episode. announced he would wait until noon next Monday befo-e press ing the enforcement of the eviction warrant

MAKES POLOGY ID MEN
 WHO ATTEMP TED TO UNSEAT HIM
Says He Was Misunder- stood By Colleagues Tells House Will Reprint And Circulate Speech
Republican A. p. Leased wIrel

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-An apol- ogy to the house, which attempted yesterday to expel him, was made to- day by Representative Thomas l.. Blanton. Democrat of Texas, in let ter to Speaker Gillett, read to his col leagues, and warmly applauded .es- pecially by Republicans.
 The Texan, occupying the same seat from which he arose to defend him. self against the charge that he had printed in the Congressional Record an obscene affidavit relating to a conversation between two printers, took no part in the brief discussion preceding the presentation of his apology.
 The Letter of Apology
 It read:
 T am involved in no issue now be- fore the house, hence what now say is not a sacrifice of principle.
 When I expressed a wish of be- ing able to place before the country the record expunged I was misunder- stood by my colleagues who believed that I would circulate the objection able language. My intention was not te do this, but to circulate the ex- punged record with all the objection able words and abbreviations con- tained in the employees affidavit eliminated and circulated only to show the country the honest, bonafide purpose of my remarks.
 I realize that the judgment of no human is infallible- l bow to the col lective judgment of my colleagues, against none of whom I harbor mal- ice, and offer this, my apology, to the house for what my colleagues in their decision determined was an error" Speaking in behalf of MT. Blanton, Representative Garrett of Tennessee, acting Democratic leader, prior to the reading. asked that four words used by the Texan in answering Represen- tative Longworth, Republican. Ohio | be stricken out of the permanent rec | ord of congress on the ground that | they had been uttered in the stress oi debate and were not intended. Rep resentative Mondel1 of Wyoming, the Republican leader. objected.
 Mir. Longworth had asked MT Blanton if there was any truth in the report that he had expressed an in | tention to send out 25O.000 copies oi his speech. expunged from the rec ord last Monday, and he had replied that if financially able he would pu it in the hands of every male votei l in the country, just as it is" It wa. agreed among Republicans that Mr Longworth had put the Texan "on { limb" and that probably two score ol more who had been in doubt voted fol expulsion simply because of the mem ber's own statement.
 To Circulate Speech
 Given the right to edit his speech Mir. Blanton said he would have elimi' hated the words just as it is" before printing, but in the distress that fol lowed a vote of censure by the hous' and public reprimand by the speak CT he had overlooked them Thes' were the words Mir. Garrett had asked to be eliminated, but which remained upon the insistence of MT. Mondell.

in a statement prepared Saturday
by DR.. B. F. Bond, county commits
sioner of health, as a precautlon
against spread of smallpox, of which
there is one case, in a negro family,
in Americas. He states that during
the week he visited a dozen cases
of this disease in an unnamed neigh
boring city, and points out that it is
entirely unnecessary for Americas
to have an epidemic. His statement
follows:
"a word of warning in reference
to our small pox situation will not
be amiss. We only have only fam
lily quarantined at present for small
pox. We have tried to vaccinate all
contracts and those even remotely
associated with the disease.
From a personal knowledge and
from newspaper reports of other
towns I consider that we are very
fortunate in requiring a vaccination
scar or certificate of vaccination be-
fore permitting children to enter
school, and advise all teachers in the
city to carefully observe that that
law is obeyed.
"The case under observation is a
recent addition to our population
and house-keepers and others en-
ploying labor are we'll advised to in
quire of helpers and assistants in
the home or other work if they are
protected against small pox, and if
they can't show a good scar insist on
them being vaccinated at once. That
is one way to prevent small poX oc-
