Premier Announces ,Balfour,
Two Others, to Represent
Britain at Conference

LONDON, Oct g. Premier Lloyd
George stated definitely that it would
be impossible for him to attend the
Washington conference in a telegram
be sent to the ambassador at Wash
ington, which is quoted by the Mel
bourne (Australia) correspondent of
the London Times, as having been
read by Premier Hughes in the house
OF representatives. The premier's S
view, as further set forth in the tele-
gram, was that the British delegation
should consist of Balfour and two 9th
ers.
The correspondent adds that Pre-
mier Hughes said one of the others
was the first lord of the admiralty,
but the third man had not been named
because he had not yet consented to
go.
According to the premier's telegram
TO- the ambassador, says the cores
pondent, it was arranged ut the re-
cent imperial conference that his ma
iesty's government should represent
the whole empire at the Washington
conference, but the government now
would prefer to include the dominion
point of view.

To Resume Meetings

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. = The ma
tfonal conference on unemployment
will reassemble next Tuesday instead
of Monday, Secretary Hoover said to-
day. Committees will meet Monday,
he added, and it is hoped several OF
them will have completed their recon
mendations on permanent measures
for combating unemployment and re-
viving business and commerce.
Deliberations of the manufacturers
committee were continued today, but
little progress towards report was
made, it was said. Only minor ques-
tions were discussed, members declar-
ed, and the relation of wages and
prices to a general economic program
still awaits consideration.
Colonel Arthur Woods, former po-
lice commissioner of New York city,
assumed charge of the central agency
for co-ordinating emergency unemploy
mentr elief throughout the country TO-
day, and Secretary Hoover addressed
a letter to all mayors asking their CO.
operation in putting immediate meas
ures into effect.
Colonel Woods received visit
from Urban Dedoux, and MS travelling
army of unemployed, which it was an
nounced will leave for Albany, N. Y,
tomorrow. and expressed his willing
ness toa id them in finding work.

the more urgent. Officials are care
full to point out that the three SUBJ

the conditions surrounding unemploy-

After unemployment, there looms
the new Irish conference of October
II, to which the cabinet must appoint
representatives. The cabinet will
then give full consideration to the
Washington conference. 1t was learn

tinues to Bring Mass of
Medical Testimony

TWIN FALLS, Idaho, Oct. 6. THAT
Edward F.. Meyer suffered an attack
of typhoid fever andt Uphold pneu-
monia in April, 1913. and was treated
by DR.. d. l.. Alexander of Twin Falls,
was stated on the witness stand by
DIR. Alexander today in the trial of
LYDIA Meyer Southland, charged with
the murder of>Meyer, her former hus-
band.
Other medical testimony was to the
effect that the Vidal test for typhoid
might result in a positive reaction
when applied to the blood of a person
previously afflicted with typhoid.
DIR. Alexander also stated on the
witness stand that in his opinion.
Meyer was suffering from "some sort
of intoxication or some sort of pois-
on" when he visited the patient at the
hospital on September 8, four days
prior to Meyers death.
DIR. Alexander declared that within
his experience he had never seen a
case of typhoid in which the patient
had sub-normal temperature through
out the progress of the disease. He
said this sometimes developed during
the period of recovery but he had
never known it to be present before
the period of recovery.

To STOP FIGHT

Republican Chiefs, in Confer
ence, Agree on Tentative
Revision of Measure
REJECT SMOOT PLANS
Sales Tax Thrown Out While
Repeal of Excess Profits
Levies Gets Approval

WASHINGTON. Oct. g. Republi-
can senate leaders, in conference to-
day, agreed upon a tentative tax re-
vision program which they believe
will close the principal gap within
their party ranks in the senate and
prove acceptable to the Republicans
in the house.
Main points in the program are an
increase in the maximum surtax rate
from 30 to so per cent, and repeal of
the tax on freight, passenger and Pull
man transportation. Ii is proposed
to repeal the $4,000 exemption allow
ed corporations, which would mean
en additional $60.000.00O of revenue
from corporate sources; retain the
corporation capital stock tax. esti-
mated to yield $75.000,000 next year,
and repeal the various so-called nuis-
ance taxes. such as those on soda wa
ter, cosmetics, proprietary medicines
and the like.
There was also said to have been a
tentative agreement to increase the
estate taxes so as to have a maximum
of 40 or 80 per cent ON estates in ex-
cess of $1o.J0O0 900. The present max
imum is 25 per cent on estates of
sic 100000
May RaiSe Postage
Most leaders are understood to
have favored the committee proposal
for a falt tax of Is per cent on cor
poration incomes, but there was some
discussion of graduated tax with
the rate ten per cent on corporations

In advance of this meeting. Sena-

amendments embodying the proposed
changes for presentation to the COM
mittee Republicans. Ii is the plan TO
have the amendments presented on
the floor as committee proposals with
a view of eXpediting action on the tax
bill.
In framing their program the lead
ers considered and rejected the SmoOt
manufacturers sales tax plan and ap-
proved the committee proposal to re-
peal the excess profits tax as of next

NEW YORK, Oct. 6. - National in.
time of recovery. having entered the
period of easier credits, Secretary of
Commerce Hoover told members of
the American Manufacturers Export
Association at their annual dinner to-
night This was marked, he said, by
the rise in the price of bonds and the
fall in federal reserve and interest
rates generally. He emphasized that
he did not wish to be understood as
saying that the country is on the
threshold of boom.
We have a long way to go to get
back to economic stability" he said.
I'VE have yet to go through with
much readjustment in price levels, but
we are definitely on the road"
Citing other evidence of recovery,
Secretary Hoover said there had been
a very fdefinite increase during the
last two months in the production of
textiles, coal, iron. steel, shoes, build
ing materials and building construc-
tion.
Exports Increasing
There is, in the construction in
dustries," he continued, 'even a larg-
er activity than at this time a year
ago. Our exports of food stuffs have
not only been increasing, but they
are also larger in volume than that OF
n year ago. and this indeed, without
any forced measures of foreign govern
ment credits"
The destructive effect of violent
fluctuations in foreign exchange, ne
said. was the first obstruction TO
American trade, and until some meas
ure of stability could be secured from
month to month, there was little hope
that the foreign trade of this or any
other country would recover to nor
NAL
There can be no hope to stability
in any of the worlds exchanges" he
in so considerable part of the world.
Stability Needed
Il am perfectly well aware that we
should not interest ourselves as gov
ernment in stabilizing the budgets and
establishing sound currencies IN for
eign countries, but unless our COM
mercial community is willing in some
way to interest itself in the countries
struggling with fiscal and CONNER
cial problems. we must expect to pay
many thousand fold in the loss of ex-
port markets and in the employment
of our people. 1t should not be be-
yond the intelligence of the human
race to secure a solution of this mat
ter as would result in some stabiliza-
ton of the German mark. Better ar
rangement of this matter must take
priority if we are to see stability in
any of the European currencies."
Secretary Hoover said there had
been great response to the recon-
mendations set out by the unemploy.
ment conference last Saturday and
the presidents appeal that they
should be transformed into commu
nifty action.
