izer of the United Mine Workers,

tion had been used to obtain sign
ers

HANGMAN OF HUNGARY
RISES TO INDIGNANT
DEFENSE OF CALLING

Budapest. Sept. 19.-The hang
man of Hungary has risen to in
dlgnant defense of his calling and
denounced. those who cast slurs
upon it. He was prompted by
sneering references made in the
Hungarian national assembly.
Friends of former Emperor
Charles and the nti-Hapsburgs
are always quarreling there and in
some cases have shouted at one
another, "the hangman is your
friend"
Michael Bali, the official hang
man, has resented such slurs.
my vocation" he writes, to the
president of the national assembly.
''is as honorable and useful as that
of judges, lawyers, ministers or
Kings. Why should the old super
Atition hold in modern times that
the hangmans profession is dis
graceful, abominable and loath-
some? My friends are all perfect
gentlemen and any member of
parliament can consider it only
flattery when he is called my
friend"

HARDING To GET
TAX BILL LATE
IN OCTOBER, IS
LEADERS CLAIM
Senate Finance Committee
Has Formally Approved
the House Measure As
Amended, PenroSe States,
PROMPT ACTION IN THE
UPPER HOUSE FORECAST
Annual Yield of S3,2O0,-
100000, the Minimum
Amount Needed, Accord
ing to Mellon, Is Expected,
(Ry The Assnciated Prnss.l ]

Washington, Sept. 19.--The tax
revision bill will be sent to the
president by late in October, Chair
man Penrose predicted today in an
nouncing that the senate finance
committee had formally approved
the house measure as amended.
Neither the Smoot manufacture
ers' sales tax nor the Calder pro-
posal to impose tax of $40 a
gallon on all alcoholic liquors with
drawn from bond for other than
manufacturing purposes will be In
cluded in the measure as it will be
presented to the senate Wednes-
day The authors have given no.
tice. however. that they expect to
present these amendments in the
senate.
To Hasten Passage.
Senator Penrose said that 1t was
planned 10 take the bill up imme-
diately and press for final action.
He added that some features, par
ticularly the excess profits tax re-
peal and the proposed reduction Of
the maximum income surtax rate
to 80 per cent, would be opposed
from certain quarters" but that
there seemed to be a desire to ex-
pedite passage.
Under these circumstances" he
continued, there is reasonable ex-
pectation that the bill can be pass
ed in the senate with two weeks
consideration and ought not to re-
quire more than a week in con-
ference"
While treasury experts have yet
to complete their final estimate as
to the total revenue that probably
will be realized this fiscal year un-
der the measure it was stated that
the amount would not be less than
5000, 100000 the minimum which
Secretary Mellon informed the
committee would be necessary. For
the next fiscal year it is estimated
that the return would be
around $2700.000,0 900.
Discuss Sales Tax Plan.
The Smoot sales tax plan was
discussed further in the committee
today with treasury experts partic-
ipating, but Chairman Penrose said
Senator Smoot had stated after
wards that he was willing not to
press the amendment in the COM
mittee but would reserve the right
to submit it to the senate. The
committee did not take vote on
the proposal, the chairman added.
The Calder whisky tax amend
ment already has been accepted in
principle by the committee and
Senator Pelrose said the New York
senator would present it in the
senate practically as a committee
Senator Calder also
has reserved the right to offer an
other amendment to tax 2,75 per
cent beer at SIS a barrel.
Before finolly approving the bif
the committee voted two additional
changes Under one amusement
admission charges not exceeding
10 cents would be exempt from
the / cent tax imposed by the pres
ent law. Under the other hotels
would pay a tax of 10 per cent on
the amoun> charged to transients
for rooms, If the sum exceeds SIS

Hoover VIII Preside.
Mr.. Hoover has been appointed
chairman of the conference, which
it was said, would at once dissolve
itself into special committees for
the formulation of plans, These
committees, he asserted, would no
doubt seek cooperation from other
representatives of labor, employ

expected to get to work quickly SO
that the admin stration might be

bodies, and to consider measures
as would tend to give impulse to

No Charity Arrangements.
In arriving at policy for pro-

Hoover said, the conference woul1
