HOUSE TAX MEASURE
REVISED ON BASIS OF
s3,200,000,000 need.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 10.-Revision
of the house tax bill on a basis Of
government needs of $4,000, 000,0 900
from internal revenue this fiscal year
was begun today by the senate finance
committee. The measure was taken
up section by section, the committee
having failed yesterday to reach any
agreement on the high points.
Developments yesterday led to a
general belief at the capital that the
committee would not have entirely
smooth-sailing, but Chairman Penfose
still was hopeful that the measure
could be completed by the time con.
gress reconvenes one week from next
Wednesday. 1t is his desire to cut
down discussion and get to action.
sAs was the case in the house, the
principal points of disagreement are
retroactive repeal of the excess profits
tax, and reduction of the income
surfaces. Although still holding that
majority sentiment is drifting toward
retroactive removal of the profits tax
Republican leaders apparently are not
as optimistic on this point as they
were day or two ago.
Present Solid Front.
Democrats in the committee will
present solid front against these two
proposals, according to Senator Sim
mons, of North Carolina, ranking mi
nority member, and they are counting
on support from some Republicans. If
they lose their fight in the committee
they will carry it to the senate floor.
Besides passing on the six changes
in the house bill proposed by Score
tary Mellen, the senate committee al
so expects to have before it a number
of othr tax policies, including tbs
sales tax plan of Senator Smoot, Re
publican, Utah, and the suggested
tax by Senator Calder, Republican, OF
New York on 2.76 per cent beer and
alcoholic liquors diverted to beverage
purposes.

Sim FEINERS TUNNEL
way OUT OF PRISON
CBy Associated Press)

DUBLIN, Sept. 10. - A tunnel re-
quiring many weeks to construct was
employed Thursday night in effecting
the escape of some so interned Sim
Feiners from the Curragh internment
camp in County Kildare where about
1900 prisoners were under guard
The camp is surrounded by several
rows of barbed wire entanglements
and is heavily guarded by soldiers.
The prisoners built the tunnel under
the barbed wire, using some of the
flooring of their huts for props.
The most difficult part was to elude
the guard. This was done by Great
ing a diversion Thursday evening.
Numerous prisoners gave songs and
recitals which received great applause,
both from other internment and, it is
said, from the guards. While this was
proceeding between 40 and so men
passed through the tunnel and have
not been seen since.

IRISH REPUBLICANS
CONSIDER BRITISH
REPLY WEDNESDAY
fRy Associated Press,

LONDON, Sept 1o.-Prime Minister
Lloyd Georges invitation to Emmon
De Valera and his colleagues to confer
as to basis for settlement of the
Irish controversy must await action by
the Irish republican party.
That body will meet in secret ses-
sion next Wednesday at which time
it is assumed, the prime minister's
latst note to Dublin will be submitted
and a decision will be reached as to
acceptance of rejection of the invita-
ton.
1t was understood when the repub-
lican parliament adjourned at Dublin
recently that it had conferred plenary
powers on Mr.. DeValera and his col
leagues. The note from Mr.. Lloyd
George, however is asserted to have
brought a factor into the situation
which made it necessary for the par
lament to meet and widen the scope
of the mandate it gave its leaders.
Parliament is Pledged.
The members of the parliament, it is
pointed out, took the oath of alleg-
lance to the Irish republic and the
government of the Irish republic" and
pledged themselves not to yield volun-
tary support to any pretended govern
ment, authority or power within Ire
land hostile or inimical thereto
Thus, it would appear, the condi-
ton precedent that there could be nc
separation of Ireland from the British
empire, which was laid down by Mr.
Lloyd George, would in effect call
upon Mr.. De Valera and members oil
his ministry, creatures of the parlia
ment, to recognize government, au
| thority or power" in England other
than that of the, Dali Eireann if they
accepted his invitation.
| 1t would also seem that they must
| be especially empowered to meet the
prime minister on the ba sis laid down
i down in his latest note.
Opinions Are Many
Announcement in Dublin yesterday
| that the Dali Eireann had been called
to meet next Wednesday was various
/ ly construed here, but there were mo-
wanting those who believed Irisl
chieftains would ind way to attend
the conference.
1t was reported that if necessar!
the date of the meeting, tentativel,
fixed for Sept. 20 by the prime minis
ter, might be postponed a week 81
/ that the Dali Eireann and its leader!
would not be Inconvenience by tht
short period intervening.
