Cent Over That Amount
BY the Associated Press

Washington, Oct. 2J.-Nnrmal tax
rates of per cent on the first $4,000
of income. and s per cent on all above
that amount, were approved today by
the Senate without a record vote. These
are the rates now in force.
The committee amendment promising
these rates, which the Democrats thrice
sought to amend yesterday without sue
cess, was approved within a minute
after the Senate met. There was no
discussion and the amendments which

Auto Accident
On Main Street

A collision early Friday morning
opposite the home Of DR.. F. f..
Farmer on Main street drew a
small crowd which was eoon in
creased by the arrival of Il copper
alton attorney, policeman and
the attorneys clerk. The latter
took the names of all the specta-
tors the attorney marked the
TRACES of the truck with saWdu 81
and the route of the little car with
paper while the policeman listen
ed to the story of the accident. It
all happened when the big Stan
dard Oil truck driven by William
B. Roman ran into a Ford
owned and driven by George w.
Badger. The accident occurred
just as DR.. Farmer was backing
out of his yard and the big truck
as it proceeded south turned to
the right and struck the Ford car
which was also at the extreme
right Of the road but going IN a
northerly direction. E. II. Chase
was riding in the back seat of the
Ford carrying a magnetic to a
local garage. When the accident
happened the magnetic was jam
med up against his leg. His in
iuries were only slight. The
Standard Oil truck had a dent on
its front fender while the Ford
car came out second best having
a severe dent on the body, while
the running board and part of the
fender on one side of the car was
smashed. After separating the
broken parts from the Ford it was
able to proceed on its journey
under its own power.

IRepublIcan A. p. Leased wirel

PARIS, Feb. 2S-Great military ac- tivity was noted today along that DOT ton of the Rhine occupied by the French near the Mayence bridgehead. Artillery was brought up, as also were ammunition trucks while the airplane camps at Bourget and Villacoblay oe- gan to show activity. It is reported that the movement of colonial troops arriving at Marseilles the last few days has greatly increased.
 Marshal Foch is expected to return from London tomorrow with General Weygand and proceed to Mayence' to await the decision of the London con ference. probably Friday or Saturday.
 Should the Germans decline to accept the allied reparations demands, every thing is said to be ready to execute penalties.
 Secrecy is being made as to these penalties and concerning military movements but the Associated Press learns on good authority that a great naval demonstration by the brltlsh has been decided on at Kiel. Hamours E and Bremen, while Belgian and trench troops will operate on land
 The Ruhr region, it is said. probably will not be occupied as the French de- sire to demonstrate that any movement taken by them is directed against the reactionaries. nationaIists and impe- rialists.

Year Mine Dispute Is Decided
 By Supreme Court
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s-The Conkling Mining company today lost its 12 years fight against the Silver King Coalition Mines com pany, for damages for copper ore removed from a vein intersecting claims of both companies in Utah.
 The Silver King company won the original proceedings brought in the federal district court of Utah, but the decision was reversed by the circuit court of appeals at St Louis and remanded to the Utah courts for an accounting. The Utah court thereupon fixed damag es of s542,000. An appeal from the accounting then was taken and the court Of appeals sustained the lower courts amount and added s27.o00. This judgment was entered three years ago and with interest now amounts to $706.S00. The Sil- yer King company brought the pro- ceedings in which it was today successful.
 When the court handed down its decision today, it was reported that decrees of the courts were sus- tained but examination of the rec ords later showed that the lower tribunals had been reversed.

 At Porter the wreck had made that little place a country wide attraction like circus Farmers lined the streets with their muddy machines and wagons, and among them mingled for eigners who had motored here from Gary.
 News of the wreck had to be ob- tained from three towns-M Michigan City. Porter and CheSzerton. As a re suit the few taxi owners made money easily, charging s1 a mile.
