WARMER CASE
AGAIN WEDNESDAY

Greensboro, May 2.-Attorneys in
the case of Mrs. Florence c. Warner
VS.. Her Husband, H. B. Warmer, of
Lexington, will appear here Wednes-
day before Judge T. B. Finley, pre-
siding over Superior court, to ar
que three motions relating to the
divorce proceedings filed by Mr..
Warner in Davidson county some time
ago. Attorneys for Mrs. Warner will
argue to have the divorce case re-
moved from Davidson county for ali
mony and for a new bill of particu-
lars of the motion. The divorce case
is set for trial in Lexington Monday,
May 8. This information was given
out here yesterday by T. 1. Walser, of
Lexington, one of Mr. Warmers at
torneys.
The divorce proceedings are recog-
nized as a very vital chapter of the
famous Warmer litigation. 1t is point
ed out that if Mr.. Warner is granted
an absolute divorce the new trial
pending in federal court will be ap-
preciably weakened, if not with
drawn altogether. There are varions
rumors afloat regarding a possible
compromise. However, attorneys for
both Mr.. and Mrs. Warner refuse to
discuss the reports.
Mr.. Walser stated that DIR. j. w.
Peacock, who is now in Lexington
Jail awaiting trial, charged with the
murder of Chief of Police Taylor, of
Thomasville, will be brought to trial
the last Monday in May, May 80.
Asked about DR.. Peacock's mental
condition Mr.. Wa1ser said that he is
as sane as any man and that reports
stating that he is demented are false
Mr. Walser didn't discuss the proba-
bic line of defense the defendant will
put up.

CERTAIN PROPOSALS
FOR TAX REVISION
OFFERED BY MELLON
FOUR SPECIFIC PLANS
Repeal of Excess Profits Tax,
Readjustment of Income Tax
Rates, Repeal of Luxury Tax
and Imposition of Addition
al Taxes to Bring Revenues
to About $4oo, ,ooo, 900.

Washington, May 2--Four speci-
aic proposals for revision of the fed
.eral taxes are made to Congress by
Secretary Mellon, with recommen-
dation for early action SO the new
taxes can be applied for this calendar
year. They are:
Repeal of the excess profits tax
and the existing $4,000 income ex-
,emption of corporations, the loss OF
revenue to be made up by tax on
corporate property or an additional
income tax on corporations, to yield
an aggregate of between 100000
1000 and $5OO,OOO,000.
Readjustment of income tax rates
SO that no income will pay more than
40 per cent this year and 35 per
cent thereafter, with a view to pro-
ducing aggregate revendes substan-
TALLY equivalent to the estimated re-
ceipts from the income tax under the
existing law.
taxes together with the nuisance"
taxes, such as those on soda foun-
tain drinks, but retention of the
transportation and miscellaneous
specific sales taxes.
Imposition of sufficient new and
additional taxes of wide applica-
tion,'' such as increased stamp taxes
or license taxes on the use of auto
mobiles to bring the total revenues
from internal taxes after making the
changes above suggested to about
$4OO, 100000 in the fiscal years 1922
and 1928.
The treasury secretary's suggest
ions> are contained in a letter to
Chairman Fordney of the house ways
and means committee, which was
made public yesterday at the treas
ury department. A copy of it also was
transmitted to Chairman Penrose of

and final settlements and permitting
under safeguards, the carrying over
of net losses by taxpayers for one
year as deduction from incomes of
succeeding years.
