style features of Importance in grown
up apparel. "Just like mama's" ap-
pears TO be a strong argument in fav-
or of anything that little ladies from
four to eight have the privilege of
choosing for themselves. In utility
coats there are such amusing little
affairs as the miniature shown above
where brown, rough surface cloth
is made up with machine stitching
for decoration on it's wide, cape collar
and rOomy sleeves and a narrow belt
that crosses at the front and buttons
at each side. 1t is as much like
grown-ups' in these features as 1t can
be.
Similar coats with narrower collars
are shown in sturdy wool materials
woven in youthful pattern, as black
and white checks, tan or grey with
small cross bars in green or red
navy and red-or other lively COM
binations. It is the material that is
featured in these and not the style
which is simply the straight coat
with plain sleeve and round collar.
They fasten with bone buttons.

Rich New York Banker Certainly Cam
not Be Justly Accused Of un-
due Wastefulness.

Russell Sage made great record

is hot on his trail.
This man is New York invest

in a southern railroad. Once a year
he makes trip of inspection over
the property in private car. Usual
ly he takes with him two big valises,
into which his extra clothing is packed.
Arriving at the end of the road no
sends his valet to barber shop, which
he has patronized once a year for
years, to arrange for bath. A pOr-
ter carries the two valises there and
back. For this he receives a tip Of
five cents. The banker pays rs cents
for his bath. After bathing he returns
to the private car. He sleeps in It In
the railroad yard rather than pay tho

Mayor Orders Inquiry
Into Beach Proffeering

Mayor Hylan, in letter yesterday to
Police Commissioner Enright, declared
that the bathhouse proprietors at Coney
Island and other nearby beaches were
profiteering by charging prices far in
excess of their schedule of rates. He
pointed out that the schedule of rates
filed with the Commissioner of Licenses
could not be exceeded unless the city
ordinances were violated, and requested
the Police Commissioner to take up the
matter with Commissioner of Licenses
Gilchrist and see that the licenses of
all such offenders were forthwith r.
voked.
Notwithstanding the specific pro-
visions in the ordinances, proiteering
is now reported" said the Mayor. "The
ordinance was adopted at my suggestion
to protect the countless thousands in
this city whose limited family purse will
not permit Of trips to the mountains or
out-of-town resorts to escape the sum-
mer heat. This is particularly true of
mothers with large families in the dense
ly populated quarters of the city These
women and children and every worker
whose only hope of a vacation is a trip
for a few hours to the beaches to enjoy
cool breezes and salt water must be
protected from the greed of gouging
bathhouse keepers" ..4I

Tex Richard and

Law Prosecution
Hayward Says Promoters
Admit Having Had the
Fight Pictures Brought
Here From New Jersey

William Hayward, United States At
torney, announced yesterday after
having talk with Tex Richard and
Fred c. Quimby that he intended to
proceed against both of them by in
formation in a prosecution based upon
Dempsey Carpenter fight from New
Jersey into New York.
Both men, he said had acknowledged
that they had had the films brought
across the river by truck driver in
the belief that the offense, if there was
any, lay in the exhibition of the pic
lures. Mr.. Hayward said he would not
prosecute the truck driver nor the Red
Cross officials and army officers who
superintendent the transportation of
fight films to Staten Island for exhibit
>tion to wounded soldiers at the Fox
Hills hospital.
Because of the frank statement made
by Richard and Qumby, the prose
cutor continued, he would proceed by
information instead of asking the grand
jury to indict them, thus making the
charge a misdemeanor. From what
Richard and Quimby told him, he said,
he thought they intended to plead
guilty when the charge was laid
The penalty for such an otfense is a
years imprisonment or a fine of $1,000.
Mr.. Hayward intimated that he thought
the court would take into consideration
the lack of criminal intent and the
frankness of the promoters and make
their punishment liUht

House Committee
Will Begin Work
On Tax Bill To-day
Harding Hears Plans From
Leaders and Levy on All
Bank Checks Is Proposed
as Means for Revenue

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Plans for
building new tax law took more def
mite form to-day, as preparations were
completed for the actual beginning to-
morrow of revision of the revenue laws
by the House Ways and Means Com
mittec.
In the search for methods of raising
around 100000, 900 a year, members
OF the committee were declared to have
talked of stamp tax on bank
checks, but that suggestion was under
stood to have been frowned on by the
Treasury Other stamp tax proposals
may get some considerat ton in the COM
mittee, but members said canddly they
feared the reaction from them.
Mr. Mellon, it was said, had told the
committee that he was opposed to the
use of any kind of sales tax to sup
plant the excess profits levy, which, it
is conceded, will be abandoned. He
was represented as being favorable to
a fiat tax on corporations. believing
that such tax would offset losses
due to the contemplated repeal of tn :
profits and some minor assessments.
Committee leaders declared they be-
lleved the corporation tax would take
the form of Is per cent levy on in
comes, with the exemption of $4,000
now in effect abolished. Representa-
tive Longworth, Republican, of Ohio
who has bill making such provisions
said the corporation tax would yiclt
around $50,000,000 n year. Mr.. Long
worth's bill also would reduce the
higher surtaxes on incomes, and hi:
plan in this respect was said to have
the Treasury Secretary's approval.
The opening session of the hearing
tomorrow will include discussion @
about all phases of revision, accordin,
to the calendar posted tonight by tn
committee. Mr.. Fordney said he woul,
insist on concluding the open session
in four days. He believed the Hous
would get the measure in about thre
weeks, but other House leaders, in
GLIDING Representative Mann, Repub
iican, of Illinois, said the bill coul
not be put into shape that quickly.

Near Subway Panic
Is Caused by Short
Circuit ON Train
Guards Open Doors 10
Free Excited Passengers
From Smoke-Filled Cars
at Canal Street Station

There was short circuit just be-
fore 6 o'clock last night beneath one
Of the seven cars of crowded West
End subway train which had just
pulled out of the Canal Street station,
eastbound. Smoke poured up around
the car, billowed through the tunnel
and beat in through all the windows
of the train.
Only the fact that they were packed
so closely they could barely move pre-
vented the passengers from stamped
ing. They surced forward and back
in the limited space, beat upon the
locked doors and implored the guards
to open them. This the guards were
afraid to do lest some one should come
in contact with the third rail-
They sought to soothe the passen-
gers, but their efforts were in vain and
Che aspect of the crowd became so
threatening that some of the doors
were opened and such passengers as
insisted upon it were allowed, with a
warning, to walk the 100 feet or so
back to the Canal Street station.
The smoldering insulation which
caused the smoke was entirely burned
away within few minutes, but it was
twenty-five minutes before repair
gang made the damage good and the
train was ready to proceed.
Within that period the congestion a
the Canal Street station had becom,
SO intense that the ticket booths wer,
closed and policemen were sent from
Che Elizabeth Street station to main
tain order. Those waiting on the plat
form for trains received transfers an,

From The Tribune's WASHINGTON Bureau
WASHINGTON, July 25.-Important
improvements and extensions in the
postal facilities in New York City are
recommended in report to Congress
by the joint postal commission, Of
which Senator Townsend, of Michigan,
is chairman.
The commission recommends that
the pneumatic tube service be re-
stored and extended; that two large
additional buildings be constructed;
that improvements on large scale be
made at the City Hall Station and that
there be a general overhaullng and
Improvement of the postal facilities Of
New York City in general.
Findings Of the commission are the
result of an investigation which 1T
made of the New York situation on the
ground last April. The members o.
the commission some time ago went
to New York and made careful inquiry
into conditions and into the need fof
improvements. The commission is
made up for the most part Of members
of the House and Senate Postoiilce
committees. Senator Townsend, chair
man of the commission, is chairman OF
the Senate Postotfice Committee. I'm
der the circumstances it is extremely
probable that the recommendations OF
the commission will be carried out.
In recommending the restoration OF
the pneumatic tube system the com
,nittee cites the fact that it has made
careful investigation of this service
II gives it full indorsement and sug-
rests that extensions be made
The commission holds that by reason
of the volume of the mail business III
New York City, two additional build
mos are needed to handle the business
The sites of the proposed new build
mos are close to each other. One Is
west of the present Postotfice Building
and is between Thirty-frst and Thirty
third streets, west of Eighth Avenue
and east of Ninth Avenue. 1T is known
as the Pennsylvania site. The othe'
is between Ninth and Tenth avenues
or Thirtieth Street. =.
The Pennsylvania site has been OF
fered for $780, 900 by the pennsyl
vania Railroad with the condition tina
the road be allowed to continue tt
operate its line beneath the proposed
building. =,
The New York Central owns the othel
site, which is 100 by 600 feet. The rail

Veteran Rule Tops Ticket
Civil Service Preference Heads
Constitutional Amendments
Special DISPATCH to The Tribun


ALBANY, July 25-After a confer
ence with members of the American
Legion, Secretary of State John j.
Lyons has directed the State Printer
to place the constitutional amendment
giving preference in the civil service
of the state to soldiers, sailors and
marines at the top of the list of
amendments to be voted upon by the
people at the next general election,
November 8, 1921.
1t has been the custom to arrange
the several amendments numerically
in the order of their filing. In the
present instance Secretary Lyons be-
lieves that the amendment, which so
vitality affects so many veterans of the
World War, would have better chance
of passage and would receive a more
thorough discussion if it topped the
list of the measures to be voted upon.
Had departm ental presidents been fol-
lowed the veteran measure would have
been far down the ballot.
