EXCESSIVE
PROFITS TO
ESCAPE TAX
AFTER JAN. |
.By Associate Pressl

Washington, Oct. 25.-Final re
peal of the excess profits tax on mex
January l was forecast tonight with
the defeat by the senate of an amend
ment to the tax revision bill pro.
posing indefinite retention of this
tax at the present rates. The vote
was 80 to 28 with four Republicans
joining the solid Democratic minori-
ty in supporting the amendments
Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri,
author of the defeated amendment,
Immediately reported another for
continuation of the profits tax at
about half the present rates. This
was under debate when the senate
recessed at 8 p. m, until II a. m. to-
morrow, under a unanimous consent
agreement to have a final vote on
the repeal 70 the profits tax at a D.
m. tomorrow.
The session tonight was the first
of the long threatened night meetings
to eXpediate passage of the tax bill
but it ended more than two hours
before the tim eoriginally agreed
upon. Debate on the second Reed
samendnlant had waxed, warm when
Senator Penrose, of, Pennsylvania,
in charge of the tax measure, said
he was not disposed to keep the
senate together longer if he could
obtain unanimous consent agree
ment to vote at p. m. tomorrow,
Without record vote the senate
adopted an amendment by Senator
Trammell, of Florida, providing that
in case tax payer borrows money to
purchase or carry federal securities
he may deduct, in computing his net
income, only the difference between
the amount of the interest paid on
the Indebtedness and the amount re-
ceived in interest from the securi-
ties.
Immediately after the senate con-
vened and before half the senator's
had settled in their seats the COM
mittee amendment fixing the normal
income tax at the present four and
eight per cent. rates was adopted.
Later the committee amendment in
creasing from $4,000 to $2,5O0 the
families having met incomes of $4,000
normal exemption, allowed heads of
or less, was adopted without a roll
call

SOUTH FLORIDA IS INUNDATED
JAX- MIAMI STEAMER GOES
! DOWN OFF JUPITER ISLAND
(By ASsoCiated PresS)

(By ASsociated Press)
West Palm Beach, Oct. 25.-The
freight steamer Thames, plying be-
tween Jacksonville and Miami, sank
shortly after noon today about four
teen miles north of Jupiter. Captain r.
J. Wahl and the crew of fifteen came
ashore in life boats at Gomez near here.
The vessel carried cargo of miscel-
laneous freight for Miami.
The vessel sprang leak last night,
according to Captain Wahl, and he put
about in the hope that by going with
the wind he would be able to reach
port. After manning the pumps all
night Captain Wahl had to cast anchor
two miles off shore in FIVE fathons of
water. The captain and crew remain
ed with the vessel until she began to
sink when they took off in small boats
and after fighting heavy seas reached
Gomez safely. The vessel had been in
Jacksonville Miami service for several
years. She was owned by the Miami
Steamship Company.

AMERICAS UNKNOWN
HERO STARTS ON ITS
FINAL JOURNEY HOME


HaVre, Oct. 25.-America's un-
known soldier is on his way home
After remaining nearly three years
in the land where he fought and died
he began his last homeward journey
on the United States cruiser Olympia,
this afternoon.
France, the country where this
unsung fighter fell, is not to be for
gotten at Arlington, as the symbol of
the lost American dead will rest on
French soil in the American National
cemetery. The Olympia carries with
it a large box full of the soil of
France, enough to cover the bottom
of the unknown soldiers grave.
Simple sincerity marked the depar-
ture of the unknown marrior as did
his selection at Chanons-Sur-Marn
Just before placing a medal of the
Legion of Honor on the casket
Frances minister of pensions, speak
ing for the people of France, de-
clared:
American brother, they are TAX
ing you back to the land of yuor
birth. We, however, will piously
preserve your memory and the land
of France will never forget that you
confded to her your last dream"
Major General Allen expressed the
appreciation of America for the
touching manner in which France paid
farewell to the unidentified hero.

STRIKE CRISIS
TO COME TO A
HEAD At CHI
TODAY, MAYBE
(By Associated P-ess.l

Chicago, Oct. 25.--The United
States Labor Board today turned to
the railroads in its attempt to avert
the rail strike scheduled for October
80, suggesting that the roads tempo
rarily postpone seeking further wage
reductions because the Labor Boards
docket was so crowded a wage deci-
sion could not be rendered before
July 1922. The carriers, however, in
formed the board that they were
"powerless to take any other posi-
ton" than the present one.
In formal statement the board
informed the carriers that it would
not consider any petitions for wage
cuts until the questions of rules and
working conditions now before it
were fully settled. The board then
unotficially let the carriers know, it
was learned, that since ruling on
wages could not be handed down be-
fore July 1922 it would like the roads
formally to announce the postpone
ment of their plans to seek further
pay cuts, taking the attitude that
such an announcement might avert
a walkout. ..-.-. -
Carriers viii Stand Pat
The committee of the Association
of Railway Executives, which con-
ferred with the board announced, hoNA
ever, that the carriers would stand
pat on their plans to seek new pay
cuts on the ground that wages must
be reduced before freight rates could
be lowered and that since the strike
was called, technically, in protest of
wage cuts already authorized by the
board, there was no necessity for
the roads to take other than an in
active part in the strike controversy.
In its communication to the roads
the board declared that if both sides
would consider the delay necessary
before wages again could be reduced
they would realize that there was no
cause fro immediate strike between
them over this point.
The unions not taking into con-
sideration this delay were crossing
bridges before coming to them when
they called strike, the boards an
nouncement said.
Give Decisions In Their Order
1t pointed out that the carriers
had repeatedly urged a quick deci-
sion on the rules and working condi-
tions questions now before the board,
and that it had determined several
weeks ago to settle this matter be-
fore taking up anything else.
Of the 1000 cases submitted to
the board during its Is months ex-
istence, 1900 still are unsettled, the
statement said, adding that proper
consideration between the unions and
he roads would have prevented many
Of them comingto the board
The boards statement, members
said, was issued tonight, the eve of
the strike hearing to determine if
the transportation act is being vio-
lated by the unions in their strike
plans, in the hope that it would re-
suit in representatives of one side
Or the other voluntarily offering some
plan to clear up the crisis. The board
itself has no definite plan, it was
said, and will try in the hearing
merely to bring out all the facts in
The case.
A formal statement issued by the
committee declared the car
riers were powerless to take any
other position than that of seeking
further wage cuts.
