In India Before Lords
Sydenhan Ignores Government
Request to Forego Attack
ON Eve of Princes Departure

LONDON, Oct. 25 by The Associated
Pressl Despite government efforts to
prevent Parliamentary discussion of In
dian affairs on the eve of the departure
of the Prince of Wales for India, that
subject was taken up in the House of
Lords to-day, where Baron Sydenham
charged the government with exercis.
ing a weak policy by which British au-
thority had suffered throughout India
He asserted that it was widely be-
lieved by the masses of Indian people
that British rule either had ended or
shortly would end. He argued that
the government must have been aware
of the recent Moplah uprising which
he declared was well organized under
the eyes Of the government.
Lord Curzon, the Foreign Secretary,
who strenuously objected to the de-
bate. said that he had written pre-
viously to Baron Sydenham and also
to Baron Ampthill urging them to state
their reasons for declining to refrain
from debate of the subject at the pres
ent time Neither of them, however,
was prepared to give way. ne said. He
declared il was most unusual thing
when a request of this kind was made
by the leader of the House for it to be
ignored. Such debate was capable OF
exercising very deleterious effect on
the eve of the departure of the Prince
of Wales, ne declared.

Importer Dies
With Unknown
Woman i'm Fire
Two Found Suffocated in
Top-Floor Apartment of
W. 58th St. House After
2-Alarm Blaze Is Checked

L. Duell, forty years old, an importer,
and an unidentified woman met death
by sufocation last night when q two
alarm fire gutted four-story COM
bination business and dwelling house
at 1871 West Fifty eighth Street. Mrs.
Levenson, lessee of the house, the only
other person in the building at the
time of the blaze, left her apartment
without injury.
John Mullen, a chauffeur, living at
1876 West Ninety-frst Street, was pass
ing through West Fifty eighth Street
shortly before II o'clock last night,
when he noticed smoke bilowing from
window on the fourth hoor Of No.
1871. He rushed up to the house and
finding the door open, entered. He
had gone half way up the stairs lead
ing to the first landing, when he was
driven back by smoke. Mullen told
the police that he was sure that he
heard some one in an upper floor cry
ing for help.
Ladder Men Search in Vain
Mullen left the house and rushed to
a fire alarm box and turned in the first
alarm. This brought apparatus under
Deputy Fire Chief Ross. Extension
ladders were run to the fourth floor
windows by hook and ladder company
and search was made of the upper
floors of the house for tenants reported
to have been trapped in their rooms by
the blaze. No one was found.
A second alarm was turned in by
Ross when it appeared likely that the
flames might spread to adjoining build
ings. The additional apparatus which
arrived was successful in controlling
the blaze and in short time the fire
was reported out.
While firemen were mopping up they
came to the Duell apartment, which
is on the top floor of the building.
The door was unlocked and when the
fremen entered they found Duell's
body and that of woman in a heap on
the floor. An ambulance surgeon pro
nounced the two dead.
Can't Identify Woman
Mrs. Leyenson, who, besides being the
lessee of the building, is part owner
of the firm Of Wahl & Co., interior
decorators, which has Offices on the
first two floors Of the building, told the
police that Duell had rented the two
room apartment on the fourth floor for
four years She said that he had just
renewed his lease for another year
Mrs Levenson was unable to give the
authorities any information which
would lead to the identification Of the
woman, said to be about thirty years
old, who was found dead beside the I'M
porter.

peal the excess profits tax Senator
Reed declared this proposition was
"the most monstrous ever put before
the American Senate"
Senator Hitchcock, Democrat. Of Ne
braska, told the Senate tha. the excess
profits tax had the same justification
as the graduated income tax. He
added that he could not see why cor
porations making profits above per
cent upon the capital invested could
not pay a graduated tax Just as indi-
viduals did.
The Senate swung tonight into the
first of the long threatened night ses
sions on the tax revision bill.
Plans of Republican leaders as TO
procedure after tonight were some
what in doubt, but the majority con-
tinued to hold over the heads of op-
ponents of the bill the threat of a
continuous session beginning to-mor-
row.
Immediately after the Senate con-
vened and before half the Senators
had settled in their seats the com
mittee amendment fixing the normal
income tax at the present and 8 per
cent rates was adopted Later the COM
mittee amendment increasing from
81. 900 to $500 the normal exemption
allowed heads of families having net
incomes OF So 600 or less was adopted
without roll call.

kinds of wines and whskies are said tc
have been manufactured at the still
hidden away in the hills back of the
lumber camp. About as many kinds Of
trouble were experienced by the pro

one prisoner with a rope before he
consented to be arrested.
Information concerning the still wa:
written to headquarters, and Agent:
Moe Smith and Izzy Einstein, masquer
aiding as cigar statesmen, penetrated the
hills to the lumber camp. They brough'
