MRS. W0LFRUM BODY in RUINS OF BARN
PLAN PASSAGE
OF TAX REFORM
BILL SATURDAY
Attack Upon Measure
Launched by Dem
0crdtS.

Washington, Aug. 15.-Republi-
cans of the house ways and means
committee have decided not to for
mally introduce the administration
revision bill until after O'Clock
this afternoon.
Washington, Aug. 15.-House Re
publicans were to pass today on
the administration tax revision bill
as drafted by the majority members
of the ways and means committee
and decide on procedure in the
house during consideration of the
measure, planned now to begin on
Wednesday.
Under a program understood to
have been mapped out by house
leaders, the Republican conference
would approve of a special rule
providing for passage of the bill
next Saturday after two days of
general debate and two days for
the consideration of amendments,
under fiye-minute rule. Priority
would be given committee amend
ments if the present plan goes
through.
The bill, as drafted, is designed
to raise approximately $4,000, ,0OO,-
900 during the calendar year 1922,
and its most outstanding features
are provisions for repeal of the eX-
cess profits taxes and the income
surtaxes in excess of 80 per cent,
and an increase in the normal cor
poration income tax of five per
cent, making the maximum 10 per
cent
Other amendments to the 1918
law include additional exemptions
for heads of families and married
men receiving small incomes, re-
peal of the stamp taxes on toilet
preparations and proprietary medi-
cines and the substitution of man
ufacturers' for the socalled nu1s-
ance levies. Details of all these
changes previously have been pub
lished.
Few Changes.
Majority members of the ways
and means committee expect the
Republican conference, called for
l D. m. today to make few, II any,
changes in the committee draft

the house late today was planned

Democratic members of the ways
and means committee will begin
discussion of the measure after II
is introduced with a view to deter
mining whether they will ofer a
minority report
The Democratic attack on the
bill was launched yesterday by
Chairman George White of the
Democratic national committee, who
warned the administration that the
business men of the country were
not to be fooled" by the methods
of political jugglery.' which he
claimed the Republicans had adopt
ed in framing their whole tax re-
vision program

DEADLOCK
over IRISH
SITUATION
Next Move in Controversy
to Be Made by Repub-
lican Parliament.

London, Aug. 15.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. )-Engla today faced
a crucial period in the negotiations
looking to the establishment OF
peace in Ireland The action of the
British government yesterday in
making public letters exchanged be-
tween Prime Minister Lloyd George
and Eamonn de Valera, Irish re-
publican leader, showed the people
that a virtual deadlock apparently,
existed, and, although the door was
declared to have been left open for
further parleys, it was apparent
that the situation was one of con-
siderable gravity.
Reports from Dublin which
might indieate what the Irish re-
publicans would do to counter the
unexpected move of the government
in giving the correspondence to the
press, was anxiously awaited. 1t
appeared the next step should be
made in that city, as Lloyd George
literally ''laii his cards on the
table" yesterday and it seemed that
Mr.. de Valera and his colleagues
must meet the situation thus ere
ated.
Whether, they would issue a state
ment today or would wait until the
opening of the Irish republican par
lament tomorrow, was uHcertain.
The purpose of the precipitate ac-
ton of the government in making
public the British proposals and
nd nf he T.
cans had not been disclosed, but it
would appear that the prime min
lister sought to lay the Irish prob
lem before the country on the eve Of
the meeting of the Dali Eireann.
British Terms.
The governments terms, were, In
brief, as follows:
Dominion status for Ireland,
with complete autonomy in fnan-
cial matters, but without tariff or
trade restrictions between the is
lands. Ireland would maintain de-
fense forces and police, but her ter
ritcrial forces would be kept within
reasonable limits"
Ireland would maintain her own
postal system, but would grant
England air defense and communi-
cation facilities. Ireland would
have control OF her own educa-
tional and industrial affairs, but the
British navy would maintain its
hold on the seas around the island.
A share of the United Kingdoms s
debt would be assumed by Ireland
the exact amount to be fixed by ar
bitration.
De Valera Replies.
Mr.. de Valera, in reply, demanded
full independence for Ireland, and
suggested a treaty of association
with the British commonwealth
group. Treaties regarding trade
and limitation of armaments were
urged by the Irish republican chief
tain, together with mutual agree
ments, as 10 air, railway and
other communications. The Ulster
problem would be left to the Irish
themselves for solution. Mr.. de Va
lera declaring that the employment
of force was not contemplated"
The attitude of the Ulster govern
ment was made plain by the making
public at Belfast Of letter to Lloyd
George from Sir James Craig, the
I Ulster premier. Sir James express
ed the loyalty of his government to
| the empire, and reiterated his readi-
ness to confer with Lloyd George
and the Sim Fein as to some means
of settling the Irish controversy.
