TAX COMPROMISE APPEARS LIKELY;

Penrose Looks Upon Present Bill as Temporary Meas ure to Be Replaced

 Washington, October 22.--The new revenue law. to be enacted next year to take the place of the one which Congress soon will pass. will contain the chief provisions of the Shoot bill, providing for manufacturers, or sales tax, on commodities.
 Agreement to this effect has been reached among Senate leaders of the eastern bloc, representing the indus trial sections of the country, some of the leaders of the agricultural bloc. and leaders of the manufacturers bloc, who are strongly supporting the Shoot measure. In return for this concession the manufacturers bloc will line up behind the present bill when it comes-to a vote in the upper House. probably within the next 10 days.
 Until this week the plan had been to hold the Shoot measure in reserve, shelving it this session for enact ment next year, so that funds, If needed. could thus be obtained for a soldier bonus. Accessions to the ranks of the sales tax supporters in the Senate, however, have recently strengthened the manufacturers bloc so materially that it has become a powerful force to be reckoned with. The present concession on the part of the agricultural leaders parallels. to large extent, the concessions to those

HUNDREDS OF DEKALB FOUNTAINS TO ATTEND
 LOCAL CELEBRATION

Fort Payne. October 22.-(speciai) Hundreds of people from Fort Payne and DeKalb county are planning tc go to Birmingham for the semi-cen- tennial and Mayor Charles J. Scott of Fort Payne has issued q public state mept commenting the exposition to the public and requesting a large att tendance from Fort Payne. The ex- position Is looked upon as the most important event In the south in many years, and 1t Is expected that . large delegation will go down on Wednes- day to sec President Harding and hear him speak at Wilson park.
 DsKalb countys queen at the semi centennial is Miss Ola GroovAr of Collfnsviile, who was elected in . popularity contest recently conducted throughout the county. Mise Grco- yer is an attractive and popular young lady. and will no doubt meas ure up to the standard of the other county queens.

leaders themselves, few weeks ago, when the chief provisions of the bill were revised at their dictation.
 McCsmber Not Satisfied
 Senator Penrose, chairman of the finance committee. looks upon the present bill as a temporary measure to be replaced later on. Next to Pen rose on the finance committee comes McCumber, proponent of the soldier bonus. Mir. McCumber Is not sRtie- fled with any plan that leaves the third man on the committee Is Shoot of Utah, chief apostle of the sales tax The fourth Is LaFollette, whose dissatisfaction with present measure took the form of forcing rejection this week of one of It's CA.ef pro- visions
 The four leading republicans of the finance committee are thus at odds with their own child, the revenue blll. So are the business interests of the east So to great extent arc the farm CTS of the west and middle west. And At the other end of the Pennsylvania sits General Dawes, who has mucn to say as to expenditures. Back of this entire situation Is the coming arms barley which furnished a hope that IllllldTy 5 TtQOiA of funds may be reduced.
 MT. Penrose believes that revenue legislation ,can be more scientifical- ly and equitably devised through the medium of joint congressional com mittee, or commission applied by Congress to make recommendations within a reasonable time.
 The followers of Penrose, the agrf- cultural bloc and the manufacturers bloc, will join In supporting the pres< ent bill when 1t comes before the Senate for adoption and indications are that the bill will pass, possibly with material notifications within the next 10 days.
 It will then go to conference, where among the chief items to be adjusted, Is the wide difference between House and Senate limitations on the surta2. The House set 32 per cent, the pres ent Senate revision, forced by the ag- ricultural bloc, calls for DO per cent. Leaders in both Houses contemplate an adjustment at about 40 per cent.
 But against that 90 per cent, the united business interests of the east have raised protesting voice Of much volume. True their chief trade or ganizations, the National Association of Manufacturers, the Chamber ot Commerce of the United States and other powerful associations, they are almost a unit in protest against the schedules of the bill as 1t stands to- day and are out in strength for the manufacturers tax proposed by Sem ator Smoot
 The Shoot measure, largely because of the influential backing thus given 1t, has acquired many supporters Tn the Senate since the dog days. It Is estimated that more than 30 republi- can senators favor the plan but, be- cause of political and other consid- erations, only fraction of that num- her are openly advocating it.

LEEFORD STARS
 FOR BULLDOGS
 IN HARD BATTLE
Moccasins Show Power and Romp on Locals By Score
 of TWenty-six to Three

Chattanooga, October 22.-(spe- cia1.) Chattanooga university's eleven defeated Howard college team here today in one or the most spec tacular games ever witnessed on a local gridiron. The final score of 26 to does not adequately represent the thrills of the game, the two teams fighting toe to toe until the fourth period, when the fierce physical strain seemed to tell on the Howard players, and the home team made two touchdowns in jig time. The play was rough in the extreme, and several near fights were staged.
 Spectacular Play.
 Three or four players on each side were badly used up in the hot scriru- naging, both teams playing the hard est brand of football seen here this year. The game abounded In spec .taoular plays, triple passes, forward passes and every conceivable variety ef deception formations being used. Towards shift was effective.
 Quarterback Ford was the Howard hero. At the very start of the game he intercepted a forward pass and dashed down field s5 yards to he locals 10-yard line, whence, after the locals held. he dropped back to the 15-yard line and kicked field goal. After that he made a dozen other great open field runs, and any num- Der of short tackle rushes.
 The two halfbacks, Gaylord and Lacky. also got past for sprints occa- sioualiy, but not with the regularity that Ford displayed.
 Howard Ends stnr.
 On defense. Stubbs. and Shores, who replaced him, played great games. and Shores bagged a number of sor- ward passes.
 Talman's kicking was a powerful factor for the home team. The old Rutgers star, playing his last year cf college footpall, booted one spiral 75 yards for touchback. and he aver aged considerably more than 50 yards.
 Talman's kick-off went to the goal line to start the game. and Ford. kicking at once. was hurried and lis offering was short. On the first scrimmage, Ford intercepted a tor ward pass and ran sb yards before Talman got him from behind. It was the first of about 10 local passes the quarterback spilled. The Moe sasin line held, forcing Ford to drop kick a goal.
 Chattanooga scores
 A costly tumble in it's own terri tory caused Howard to lose the ball
