BIZ ne Associated Pres..

WASHINGTON, Aug 12.-Any expecta-
ton that President Harding will him
self act as delegate to the conference
for the Limitation of ornaments was
overthrown to-day by White House
announcement that he had definitely
designated Secretary Hughes Of the
State Department to head the Ameri-
can delegation.
1t was said that other members of
the delegation were yet to be chosen,
although the President is known to
have narrowed considerably the list OF
those he considers available and may
reach the point of other definite selec-
tions in the very near future.
He is understood to have decided
that at least one of the places shall
go to a United States Senator, and
the choice of a woman as a member OF
the delegation still is within the range
of possibility.
The exact role to be played by the
President never has been officially de-
fined. but the general expectation is that
after delivering the opening address OF
the conference on November IL. he Will
remain in the background OF the negotia-
tions. leaving direct contact with the
foreign commissioners to his accredited
representatives. but at the same sime
keeping in close touch with them and

a position similar to that OF President
Poincare OF France when he opened the
Versailles conference and then retired
from actual participation in the pro-
ceedings. President Harding's close adj
visers are said to feel that by keeping
away from details of the discussions he
can reserve his efforts for the more inn
portnnt features and be 80 placed as Ia
act as mediator for all the delegates In
any disagreement that might threaten
the success of the conference.
Not only has the President placed Mr.
Hughes at the head OF the American
delegates bu. re also has turned over to
the State Department the task of clear
ing away all the details remaining to be
disposed of before the conference meets
II is understood that the Chief Execu-
tive intends to supervise only the more
important moves, and has encouraged
the department TO work out lesser prob
lens on It's own responsibility.
One of these problems, which threat
ems to occupy the attention OF a large
staff before 1t is solved, was tackled by
the department to-day when II offered
it's aid to the embassies and legations OF

PIGEON MEAL ON SPIRE
Sexton Shoots Rird of Prey
With His Goose Gun.

red jawed hawk measuring five feet
from tip to tip flew over from the Pali-
sades yesterday afternoon, and invaded
the pigeon roost in the belf-y Of the
Collegiate Church OF ST. Nicholas at
Fifth avenue and Forty-eighth street.
The big bird killed one of the pigeons,
and as the others flew away in terror
it carried its prey TO the very top of the
church spire to make its meal in peace.
TIE traffic policeman at the corner
saw the hawk make the kill, but could
not devise any way OF getting at the
big bird. Charles S. Medler. the sexton
of the church. climbed to the roof OF
the chapel adjoining the church. armed
with a goose gun. with which he hunts
wild geese on Long Island. and waited
for some time for the hawk to fly. fear
ing to shoot until 1t did lest his mis-
s1les injurc the brownstone of the spire.
Half an hour after Mr.. Medler had
climbed TO the roof the hawk finished
the pigeon. spread its wings and Tapped
slowly away from the spire. Mr.. Medlcr
fired at IL, the No. 2 shot struck IL
squarely, and the big bird folded its
wings and dropped into an area north
west of the church.

Washington. ID. c., Aug. 12.
The Republican members Of the
House Ways and Means Committee to-
day voted to increase from $4,000 to
$4,000 the income tax exemption of
married persons whose net income is
$4,000 or less. This is in addition tc
recent action granting an increase
from 5000 to S400 in the exemption
for each child or dependent. These
changes will mean an annual loss in
revenue of about s50,O00,000, according
10 revised estimates. AS the bill now
stands the normal income taxes OF
the unmarried have not been reduced
The committee also has decided that
the taxes on tobacco and cigarettes
will not be increased. Before it was
determined that Government expendi-
lures were to be cut s530,000,000 Sec
retary of the Treasury Mellon recon-
mended an increase of s100,000,000 a
year in these levies. Other tax changes
were:
Complete repeal OF section 9o4 OF the
revenue act of 1918, which includes all
the so-called luxury taxes on wearing
apparel, umbrellas, carpets and ot'fer
articles. Previously only parts OF the
section were eliminated.
Reduction of the present per cent.
tax on candy to per cent.
Reduction of the taxes on furs from
10 to per cent.
Reduction of the 10 per cent. tax on
works of art to 5 per cent.
The Republican members also rejected
the recommendation of Mr.. Mellon that
in 1923 the maximum surtax rate be
cut from 80 to 25 per cent. Previously
the committee voted to reduce 1t from 90
to 30 per cent.
Representatives Longworth and Bach
arach led the movement for reduced
normal income taxes. Mr.. Bacharach

self and allowed only an exemption 70
heads OF families for each child and
dependent.
This caused considerable criticism in
the Republican ranks and the granting
Of an increased exemption of $500 to
married persons resulted.
The committee also considered placing
a per cent tax on the manufacturers

are imposed under the present laws.

Supreme Council Session

r ,ONDON, Aug. 13 Saturday..
"The Supreme Council

is a confession of the bankruptcy
Of that highly abnormal institu-
tion," says the London Times
editorially this morning.
Convened to solve the Silesian
problem, it has failed, referring
the issue to the League of Ma

mite rupture which would likely
result from a final affirmation of
the profound divergence in the

still is open. There is no official

Paris, Aug. i2.
The efforts Of the allied Premiers
to settle the Upper Silesian dispute
and TO remove it as quickly as pos
sible as dangerous and disturbing
factor in Europe's rehabilitation
ended almost farcically to-day.
With England and France unable
to agree over the attribution OF five
towns in the Upper Silesian indus
trial triangle, the whole question
was, at the suggestion of the British
Prime Minister. Mr.. Lloyd George,
turned over to the Council of the
League of Nations. which only two
days ago the allied Prime Ministers
utterly ignored in dealing with the
Greco Turkish war and the neutral
ity and munition issues involved.
This action will postpone decision
in fixing the line separating Polish
and German Silesia at least several
months.

principals in the Upper Silesian dis
pute, have agreed in advance to ac-t
