HARDING SENDS MESSAGE

The testimonial dinner to Samuel S.
koenig at the Hotel Astor last night
not only celebrated the tenth anniver-
sary of Mr.. Koeng's election to the
chairmanship of the New York County
Republican Committee but resolved It
self into an expression of militant Re-
publicanism modified for the forthcom-
ing Mayoralty campaign.
The ballroom of the Astor was crowd
ed by friends OF Mr.. Koenic of every
political faith. All Republican leaders
of the city and many from out of town
were present, while Tammany Hall ex-
pressed its admiration for its rival gen.
eral through the presence OF Tom Smith.
Tammany secretary Phil Donohue and
others.
After Senator William NJ Calder
Senator James w. Wadsworth. Repre-
sentative Ogden Mills. Helen Varick
Boswell. committee vice-chairman, and
others had expressed the admiration OF

behalf of the executive committee.
kilograms of felicitation were re-
ceived from President Harding. Gov.
Miller, Postmaster General Hays, Vice
President Coolidge, Chauncey NJ. Depew
and many others. Senator Wadsworth
described the occasion as the greatest
demonstration Of it's kind in years"
From the moment Mr. Mills, who pre-
sided, made the first address, each
speech was a challenge to Tammany
this fall. Under Chairman Koenig," )"
The New York herald., 1921-05-10

said Mr. Mills. ''the strength of the Re-
publican party has grown until can
say In all fairness to our Democratic
friends that we are ready to meet them
on equal ground
TT has been suggested that on the
eve of the Mayoralty election the Re
publican party might be actuated by sell
fish motives. The people OF New YORK
know that the Republican party VIII put
the interests OF the city above all other
considerations, and they may rest as
sured that this will be done without the
sacrifice OF any OF the spirit OF militant
Republicanism."
Senator Wadsworth congratulated
Speaker Machold of the Assembly upon
the achievements OF the Legislature ana
Gov Miller In effecting q 3 per cent.
reduction in the cost OF State govern
ment. which. he added. was the first
chapter of fulfilment Of the Republican
promises of last fall.
This fall" he continued, you have
your municipal election. The whole
country will watch the Mayoralty con-
test and It's outcome is or Importance 10
the entire nation. / feel certain that the
way for the Republicans 10 conduct
themselves In that campaign Is with a
degree of militancy never before
equalled."
In no expression was there any hint OF
acceptance of the overtures of independ-
ents for a fusion ticket.
Miss Boswell assured Mr.. Koenig that
the Republicans expect to redeem the
city from Tammany Hall this fall. and
the women expect to lend their hearts
and hands to that end"

WET BLANKETS SAVE
THIRTY HORSES IN FIRE
Heads Covered, They Are Led
Out From Burning Stable.

Thirty horses owned by the New York
Transfer Company narrowly escaped
suffocation last night in fire in a
building behind the company's garage
and stables In 43 West Twenty-eighth
street. The stables filled with smoke
and 1t was necessary to cover the heads
of the horses with wet blankets before
they would become calm enough for
hostlers to lead them out.
The fire caused serious damage to the
second floor of the building In West
Twenty ninth street behind the garage
and two alarms were sent In. It started
in a paper box factory and spread to a
laboratory on the same floor. Several
thousand persons gathered to watch
the flames and police reserves were
called out to handle the crowd.

ONE PER CENT. FAVORED
Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HnALp
New York Herald R.res1.

Specins Dc,patch to THE NEW YORK HnnALp.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. c., May ..
A general sales tax Is the most de-
Hirable, equitable. productive and easily
administered form of new revenue that
can be devised to meet Government
needs it was contended to-day by
witnesses appearing In it's favor before
the Senate Committee on Finance In
the first formal revenue hearing in the
present Congress. Charles e. Lord OF
New York. drygoods merchant; Hugh
Satterlee OF Philadelphia representing
the trades council OF tho Manufacturers
Club and A. ]. Kelly OF Pittsburgh
speaking for ordganized real estate in
terests. were witnesses The hearings
will be continued tomorrow. when both
advocates and opponents are to be
heard.
The witnesses agreed In advocating a
general turnover tax Of l per cent. on
goods, wares and merchandise. which
they estimated will raise annually
81 500, 100000 at least The said
Government actuaries arrived at the
said estimates.
Unqualified support for It was mani
tested by Senators Smoot (Utah) and
Watson (Ind). Other Senators did not
indicate their positions. Incidentally
the discussion involved arguments re-
garding possible reduction OF surtaxes
on incomes. the witnesses favoring
abolition Of taxes running higher than
30 per cent
Summarized, the arguments presented
were:
That a general sales tax Is equitable,
whereas present taxes, both specific
consumption taxes, income taxes and ex-
cess profits taxes. are inequable.
That in the long run the Government
will be the gamer by a sales tax and
that the taxpayers will be relieved OF
discriminatory taxes.
That the sales tax Is simple Of ad-
ministration. economical dn collection,
requires no expert advice in making re-
turns and thereby does away with n
vast expense now involved both In fees
to tax experts and in the auditing forces
of the Internal Revenue Buerau.
That it Is not an additional tax. but
a substitute for present discriminatory
specific consumption taxes.
Each of the witnesses by a coinci-
dence had been opponents OF the sales
tax until they began a study OF 1t. one
saying "the arguments against 1t had
convinced him OF its soundness and de-
sirability.''
1t was shown that in no case would
1t aggregate on all turnovers more than
3 per cent. total tax. In most instances
1t was said 1t would be much less.
Senator Penrose indicated that the
committee has received arguments in
opposition from labor organizations.
fraternal societies and farmers.
"The opposition will melt away" Mr..
Lord said, "if the system is tried out.
That has been the experience In France
and in the Philippine Islands under their
sales tax system"

went to the attic. No attention was paid
to him then, for the doctor was in the
sick room and there were other things
than a brokenhearted boy to keep the
household busy.

making ready to leave. some one thought
OF O'Neill. Patrick Yennella, a cousin.
went to look for him.
Yennella came rushing downstairs a
moment later to call the doctor back.
The physician accompanied Yennella to
the attic. The boy was kneeling in
the centre of the floor. his hands Joined
together as II in prayer. A glance showed
that he was strangled and that the thin
bit of rope that led from his neck to

cava will not be told of her sons death.
