ITALY REDUCES
HER GREAT ARMY

Washington, Nov. 21.-Itaiy has no
fear of any of her European neigh
bors and her sole desire is to have
the feelings aroused by the war sub
side and give way to the spirit of
peace, an official spokesman of the
Italian delegation to the arms confer
ence said tonight. Following the lead
given by Senator Schanzer in his
speech today before the conference the
spokesman declared that Italy had
not even awaited the call foE this con-
ference to begin reduction of her
great army which now shas been
brought down to less thar 200, 900.
Moreover the period of ftmiftary SER
vice which before the wars was two
and one-half years alreadylhad been
substantially reduced, it was; explain
ed, and propably would be cut to
eight months.
There was no dispositions on the
part of Italy, it was added, to ques-
ton the right of France to tiiaintain a
large army, inasmpch as she occupied
a peculiar position. Butslthis large
army, it was stated, was not regarded
as a menace to Italy. 3
The same statement might be ap-
piled to the Jugoslav military force,
the spokesman continued. 1taly's re-
lations &ith that country i, Were de-
scribed as the best" and she did not
regard the little entente As source
of danger to her. Germanyanot being
a, close neighbor, occupies \ position,
it was explained, diffarSnt from
Frances and the natural .defenses of
Italy afforded by the Alps enabled
her to ignore any threat from Russia.

having given proof of thAt, it was
said when she went forward to succor

SUPREME COURT
RULES ON TAXES

Washington, Nov. 21.-Decisions of
the supreme court today, upholding
government contentious in three in
come tax cases, will in the opinion of
Solicitor General Beck and treasury
officials go farp toward unraveling
many perplcfng questions arising in
stock dividend controversies and re-
suit in the recovery by the govern
ment of many millions Of dollars.
Two OF the cases were similar and
involved taxation as income of stock
issued stockholders of the Ohio Oil
and the Prairie Oil & Gas companies
by the Illinois and the Prairie Pine
Line companies, respectively. The ri DC
line companies were organized by the
oil companies after decision by the
supreme court that the interstate
commerce and federal trade comm s.
sions had jurisdiction over compan es
owning pipe lines. The government
contended the stock should be class ed
as income and taxed as such. This
contention was opposed by the con-
panies and various stockholders, in
cluding John d. Rockefeller.
Justice Ptney delivered the ma
icrity opinion of the court, Justi, es
Van Devanter and McRcynolds DIS
senting.
The third case in which decision
was handed down grew out of the cr-
ganization of +. I. DUPONT de Mem
ours Powder company of Delaware by
the parent company of the same name
of New Jersey which turned over to
tie Delaware corporation all it's as
sets and took in charge the stock
OF the new company. The court lid
the new stock, which was distrbut ed
among the stockholders Of the parent
company, subject to the income tax
law
Estimates were that the guvc'n-
m"nt would obtain at least $50. .OOb,-
coo dollars taxes from the litigc,ts
IN the eases decided today and the i'd
judication OF many claims, which have
been pending in the treasury depart
ment awaiting the outcome, would o.
tai many millions of dollars in d
dition.

SENATORS HAVE
TILT IN SENATE

Washington, Nov. 21.-The Ford
Newberry senatorial election contest
in Michigan was laid aside by the
senate tonight, probably not to come
formally before the body again for
several weeks. After day of dis
cussion in which Henry Ford, who is
contesting the seating of Senator
Newberry, was both denounced and
defended and which was enlivened by
heated tilt between Senators Will
liams of Mississippi and Watson of
Georgia, the election controversy was
Sidetracked 20 make way for the con-
terence report on the revenue bill.
No agreement as to a date for a
vote was reached but the understand
ing developed that little further con-
sldcration would be given to the case
until late in December.
The clash between Senators Will
Iiams and Watson developed when the
latter attacked Mr.. Ford and declared
that cleft over Wilsonites" il the SEN
ate were seeking to retire Mr.. New
brry because he had opposed the
league of nations.
Mr.. Williams said he regarded Mr..
Ford as so far superior in "altruism,
in world sense and in world vision to
the senator from Georgia (Mr. Wat
SOM and myself that l can hardly
find words to express it."
He was interrupted by Mr.. Watson,
who declared that he had not asked
clean bill of health" from Mr.. Will
liams, and added:
Il stated that the war department
records show that in various items
paid to Henry Ford, he was paid for
materials never delivered, one item
oeing for tractors, and the amount
was $3,000,000; that he kept his son
out of war when the sons Of Senator
Newberry were in the war"
Mr.. Watson also charged that MIR
Ford had assessed his employees,
'btackmailed' them, he said, for $50
600 for his expense account" Mr.
Williams denied that Mr.. Ford had
ever done such thing, and added:
Il did not approve of Mr.. Ford's
course during the war when the sena-
tor from Georgia was running with
him, when they both were trying to
| make peace for a common enemy
when the senator states that, he
states -what- is not true" shouted Nh,
Watson.
Mr.. Williams inquired which part
OF his statement was not true and

Mr.. Williams attempted to con.
tinue but Mr.. Watson was shouting:

seeking recognition from the chair,
and Senator Hcf1in (Democrat) of
Alabama, who had held the floor when
the exchanges began, was vainly try
ing to make himself heard above the
many voices and the pounding Of the
gavel by the vice president.
Mr.. Watson and Mr.. Williams with
two desks between them stood glar-
ing at each other when order was
restored.
Mr.. Williams without another word
picked up his hat and walked out of
the chamber

Union, s. C., tuesday, Afternoon Noembe
MADE
FOR REDUCTION

Washington, Nov. 81 (By the Asso-
ciated Press).-There was strong in
dication today that definite progress
toward an agreement on American
proposals for naval reduction and lin
itation was being made although no
definite action was taken.
The big three of the arms limita-
tion conference-Secretary Hughes
Arthur j. Balfour and Admiral Baron
kato, met in Mr.. Hughes office. Each
was aided by the chief naval experts
of each power; but so far as could be
learned the discussion did not get be-
yond further talk over figures as to
tonnage and other matters in the
American plan. The fact that the ex-
perts had made such progress as to
win the informal meeting of the heads
of the three delegates chiefly concern
ed in the naval program was regard
ed as significant, however, and fore
shadowing some early conclusion.
There was evidence that during the
conference the American experts were
askd for and also rceivd further
particulars as to the American pro-
posals. Mr.. Hughes, Mr.. Balfour and
Baron Kato were compelled to leave
the Far Eastern conference before
the experts were ready to separate
but it appeared probable that there
would be. further meeting tomor-
row when the data presented today
had been reviewed.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, pres
ident of the subcommittee of naval
experts, Admiral Countz and Rear
Admiral Pratt, chief American advis-
ers, went at once to the navy de-
partmcnt on leaving Secretary
Hughes office and work started at
once on getting up the data requested
of the American group. The ma
ture of this material was not dis
closed.
There is no indication that any
;"hange in the American proposed
"5-5-3" ratio of fleet strength will be
SoiiSiuSiSu ny IhS <hiiCi iSah Sioup.
That ratio, however, under the Am
erican proposal would not apply for
ten years or until requirements begin
at the end of the ten years building
holiday.
$ American na$aI opinion s--aoes%not
accept any suggestion that addition
al ships to those proposed in Mr.
Hughes plan be retained by any pow
er. That was based on the fleets as
they were on November II as the
"zero hour" for application of cut
and the decade of no building. The
Japanese contend, 1t is understood,
that the battleship Mutsu, proposed to
be scrapped, was actually so nearly
a finished ship on that date that she
should BE retained. In that event it
seems highly probable that the Unit
ed States would retain one or more
of the new battleships now afloat but
which she had offered to scrap. The
point has not been threshed out as yet
by the experts, however, nor has Jap
an definitely committed herself, it is
stated, to the 1858" replacement
ratio.

Washington Conference
Resumes Work

Washington, Nov. 22.-Opinions
have been exchanged among the arms
delegations with such unprecedented
directness that some of the expri-
need diplomats here believe they can
see what will be possible to accom-
plish with The heads of American,
British and Japanese delegations
working in personal conference on
the naval reduction plan. Indications
are that an agreement is near on all
except the details. Similarly readi-
ness of all the nations to commit
themselves to the general principles
relating to the Far East and an out
spoken objection of Japan to discuss
ing the details seem to have crystal
lied the conviction set of the prin-
ciples like the four agreed upon yes
terday will be adopted. Indications
point to an understanding rather than
& treaty as the form of the final Far
Eastern agreement.
