 Sections accepted without change included those relating to taxes on cereal beverages and soft drinks; re- pealing the tax on eye glasses and spectacles; eliminating the license levieS on yachts and motor beats of not more than tons or not over 32 feet in length, and imposing a tax of 10 per cent on camera lenses. The beverage tax changes were accepted. however, subject to possible amend rment after further information has been furnished by treasury experts.
 Favor Manufacturers Tax
 While the senate committee was re- vising the house measure, representa- tives of manufacturing interests in conference decided to work for a tax revision program substantially the same as that which Senator Shoot, of Utah, a Republican member of the finance committee, has announced he will offer, as a substitute for the pending measure. The main features of this program are:
 Enactment of a new general manu- lecturers tax.
 Retention of present income taxes on individuals, with revision of sur taxes.
 Retention of the income tax of 10 per cent on corporations. Retention of taxes on tobacco, mar cOtics and oleomargarine, and, Retention of existing inheritance taxes.
 Spokesmen for the manufacturers explained that the proposed manurac- turers' tax was not a general sales tax, inasmuch as it would be levied. assessed, collected and paid on every commodity manufactured, produced or imported, when sold, leased or lic- ensed for consumption or use without further process of manufacture" Action of the senate committee in voting to recommend restoration of the transportation taxes and changes in other proposed excise levies was taken despite assurances from Secre- tary Mellon and Director of the .ud- get Dawes that the S3J0,00O,000 re- duction in government expenditures agreed upon at the White House con- ference would be effected.

KIa1l Leader
Collapses AT
End of Story

Washington, Oct. 13.-William
]. Simmons, imperial wizard of
the Ku Klux Klan, collapsed to-
day at the close of a five hours
defense of the order before a
house committee, while Chairman
Campbell was trying to suppress
applause which greeted the con-
clusion of his statement.
The committee ordered a brief
recess after friends of the imper-
ial wizard announced that his con
dition was not serious, but later
adjourned until tomorrow.
Resuming his testimony this
morning Simmons again launched
an attack against c. Anderson
Wright, former Klansman, who
recently published what purport-
ed to be an expose of the order.
The wizard denied that the or
ganization had declined to pay
checks or drafts drawn by Wright
for services performed during a
membership campaign. Simmons
charged that Wright prior to his
connection with the Klan issued
bum checks at Houston Texas"
"You mean to 81 that Wright
issued fraudulent checks?" asked
Representative Rodenberg, repub-
lican, Illinois.
That's my impression, Sim
mons replied.
Didn't you know before you
took him on?" Mr.. Rodenberg per

afterward."
Simmons declared he had never
authorized any kleagels or field

about 1890 o'clock today and

men were aboard the airship when
she left the flying station.
Spectators reported that two
men jumped as the craft descend
ed almost to the earth before leav-
ing land. Another was seen aboard
as the wind caught the bag and
dashed it along the surface of the
water.
Marine men at Old Point later
reported that the lone man on the
craft was taken off by Captain
Watson and the crew of a harbor
tug. The bag, still partly filled
with gas, was whipped out toward
sea by strong wind.

Mail Boxes to
Be Required By
Postal Officials

To expedite and assure safer
delivery of mail, residents of Sa-
lem are requested to put up prop
er letter receptacles and house
numbers by October 1s on which
date residences not having the
same will be reported to the postal
officials by carriers on all city
routes and a campaign against
such delinquency will be insti-
tuted.
The request comes from the
postal department of Washington,
d. c.. in the form of a bulletin to
Postmaster Huckestein and asks
that contractors and builders, who
have houses now under construc-
tion bear the necessity of the mail
box in mind amt provide them or
mail slots, in or near the door.
By ringing the doorbell a car
rier Icses a great deal of time IN
waiting for a response, and the
mail delivery is thus delayed all
along the line. Leaving mail in
yestibules, under doors and ID
window sills has been found to be
hazardous to the delivery Of valu-
able matter, and for this reason
close cooperation is urged in the
request from all civic and business
bodies. The lack of proper num-
hers on houses also forces a de-
lay when a substitute carrier takes
the route of an oId hand.

No style or receptacle is partic-
uarIy designated except that It

was made in a motion passed by
the Marion County Realtors asso-
citation offering their services to
the city during special election,
which may be held soon, for the
citizens of Salem to decide the
question at the luncheon in the
Marion hotel this noon.
The action followed a report OF
A. c. Bohrnstedt, representing the
organization in the Salem Fedora
tion of clubs which held its regu-
lar meeting last night, who stated
that other organizations would
have the proposition submitted to
them, and that the federation had
expressed itself in favor Of such a
move.
Figures were submitted showing
that a yearly amount OF $95,OOV
is derived from the grounds
through the money spent by tour
lists. The original amount for the
grounds was once $500. This
has been reduced, it was pointed
out, to $4,000.
The realtors also voted to lend
their moral support to the Salem
Symphony orchestra.
Mr.. Bohrnstedt, speaking in the
absence of a representative from
the 1925 fair board, stated that he
was in favor of the fair, kat was
opposed to adding S5.O0O,000 OF

Fox, charged with highway rob-
berry in connection with a series of
holdups staged recently in Salem,
offered testimony replete with dra
matte interest when he took the
stand at his preliminary hearing
in the justice court this afternoon.
Eighteen-year-old Fox is in the
county Jail. He was taken there
this afternoon after Judge G. e.
Unruh had explained that the evil
dence was sufficient to hold him
for grand jury investigation. But
before he left the justice court he
told a vivid story of his expert
ences in the basement of the Sa-
lem city hall Tuesday night.
'tThe chief took me down in the
basement" Fox said. HE sent
another man for a blackjack. 1t
was about IL inches long. 1t had
strap on the end of it,"
Young Fox paused and glanced
toward the chief.

witnesses, Donald Stickney, Miss
Anne Anderson and Philip Sitner,
together with Chief of Police Mof
fits admission p the stand that
Fox's confession" had come only
after the youth had been threat
ened with a billy" club, made
the morning session of the hear
ing peculiarly interesting to the
small group of persons who gath
cred in the tiny court room.
None of the witnesses identified
Fox as either of the men who held
him up last Saturday night. Their
testimony was vague. wandering,
and did not check well. They diff
fered as to who carried the gun,
the light, and as to manner in
which the masks were worn.
Chief Moffitt denied that he had
promised Fox his freedom if he
would confess. Once once, he tes-
titled, did he refer to leniency for
the youth, and that was when he
and his prisoner left Albany for
Salem. At that time, he said, he
told Fox that, if he would tell him
the truth, he would do all he could
for Fox. In the basement of the
city hall, he explained, he did
nothing more than threaten the
boy.
Fox is in the county jail. His
parents are dead. He has no mon
ey, and if he has friends he can't
find them. He admits that his pre-
varieations were as numerous as
they were interesting.
