TO COME TO
ALLIED AID
Resolution Asks America
to Help in Solving War
Problems.

Paris. Oct. 7.-CBy the Associated
Press 1.-THE United States is called
upon to Join with the Allied powers
il plans to solve all the problems
growing out of reparations and pay
ment of the Allied debt in resolu
tion adopted unanimously by the
council of the International Cham
ber of Commerce, which met hero
today.
Yank Bankers Recommended.
The resolution was recommended
by the special finance committee
appointed last June at the annual
congress of the International
Chamber in London in which the
United States was represented by
George E. Roberts, vice president
OF the National City bank of New
York; F. o. Watts, president OF the
First National bank of st. Louis,
Mo-; F. n. B. Close, vice president
of the Bankers Trust company,
New York, and Nelson Dean Jay,
of Morgan, Harjes & Company, OF
Paris Edward A. Filene of Boston
proposed the resolution at the coun-
Gil meeDnS.
The resolution points out that the
members of the American delega-
ton to the International chamber
| had drawn the attention of the
council to the fact that he financial
i and Industrial position of the world
at large was arousing increasing
attention in the United States. and
j that there was a strong indication
of a policy of greater participation
by the United States.
Allied Debt Not Discussed.
Such participation, the resolution
continues, is made more apparent
and necessary by the present indus
trial situation in the United States.
The resolution concludes by say
ing that it is necessary for the
United States to do its share TO
relieve the situation.
Payment of the Allied debt to the
United States should not be the sub
iect of any definite conclusions IN
til after the coming Washington
conference. according to the mem
bers of the council and the Special
financial committee which inquired
into the financial position OF the Al
lied powers and its relations to the
United States. 1t was decided not
to discuss the debt problem at the
present meeting.

BOOZE FROM
BOND TAXED
81 ACALLON
Affects Alcohol With
drawn for ANY Purpose
$3.50 Raise.

Washington. Oct. "A tax of 81
a gallon on all alcoholic spirits
Withdrawn from bond for indus
trial, medicinal or any other pur-
pose. has been agreed upon by Re
publican leaders as a part OF the
new tax revision program. This is
an increase OF s1.S0 a gallon and
is expected to yield $75.000.000 ad-
ditional revenue each year.
The proposal to repeal the $4,000
exemption allowed corporations
was abandoned on the ground that
it would work too great a hardship
on the small corporations. The
leaders also were said to have de
cided on a fat corporation income
tax of Is per cent in place Of 10
and Is per cent rate.
80 Per Cent Surtax Rate.
A minimum surtax rate OF sc
per cent wouli apply in the case OF
incomes in excess of 100000. in
stead Of S500.000, as proposed b.
the Democratic senator's Exist
ing rates above 50 per cent woulf
be increased two per cent. Treas
ury experts estimate that the ad
ditional yield from these change:
would be $50,00O,000 annually. ,
Excess taxes would be Increase
to a maximum of so per cent oyeI
the present per cent. the highes
rate to apply in the case of estates
valued at $100, 100000 or more. TIL;
rates between 25 and 40 million!
would be graduated.
To Repeal Nuisance Taxes
Decision has been reached, lead
ers said, to repeal $4,000, 800 o
the nuisance taxes, but which o
these taxes are to go, has not beef
finally decided.
1t was said there would be n
increase in first class postag
safes, discussed yesterday as
possibility, ana leaders have no
in mind imposing any new taxes
believing that the increase in tn
surtax rates. estate taxes and ex
else on distilled spirits will max
up for the loss of revenue accru
ing from repeal of the transporta
( tion taxes, the nuisance taxes an,
retention of the $4,000 exemption
to corporations.

JOSEPH JOUBERT IS
DROWNED IN RIVER

Joseph Joubert Of Newport was
drowned in the Barton River which
flows into South Bay Sunday after
noon about 1.30. He had been fish
ing with his little son. Alfred, and
from the varied stories told of the
accident by the boy, it is believed
that they had lust finished dinner
on the banks of the river near
the bridge, when they noticed that
their boat was floating away.
Joubert started after the boat,
and in spite of the fact that he is
known to be a good swimmer, he
was drowned. The boy had pres
enc of mind enough to run down
the railroad tracks, to a nearby
farmhouse but found nobody at
home. He then went to William
Halley's house but there was no
one there either. The boy then
hurried to Glen Road and told the
people who telephoned for Byron
Curtis to help drag for the body.
Many boats put up the Black
River, where it was first believed
the accident occurred. The body
was quickly recovered by Mr..
Curtis not far from the scene of
the drowning in Barton River. Mr..
Joubert made his home with Mrs.
James Barry of Glen Road.

RUTH M. O'HERIN
DROWNED AT JOE'S POND

A pleasure trip scarcely begun
wa brought to a tragic ending
Saturday night, when Miss Ruth
Monica O'Herin of Barre, aged go,
lost her life in the waters of
Joe's Pond. A party Of four, in
GLIDING the above named and her
sister, Miss Mildred O'Herin, 90,
Miss Frances Nelson, %, and Miss
Mildred Fitzgerald, about 20, had
motored up from Barre during the
afternoon, registered at the Lake
side House intending to remain
over the holiday.
At about 8 o'clock the q~uartette
had entered the water at the regu-
lar bathing beach used by the
summer colony. Owing to the I'M
usually low water the girls unwit-
tingly went out beyond regular
safety area for those who could
not swim and were suddenly be-

Two Badly Burned
at LyndOnville Fire

The double tenement house on
the corner of Depot and Charles
streets in Lyndonville, occupied by
Oscar Lamora and the Therriaults,
was burned at 2 o'clock Monday
morning and Oscar Lamora and
his 10-year-old son Charles were
badly burned in making their es-
cape in the night clothes by jump
ing from the second story window.
Mr.. Lamora had recently pur-
chased the house and lost ell the
belongings. 1t is thought that the
fire vas started from a fire
cracker.
1t was discovered by Joe
Lemerand who lived in the next
house and the Therriault family
lived on the first floor had a
chance to escape. As Oscar Lam
ora dropped from the second story
window he was badly burned on
the left side of his face and both
hands. His son Charles dropped
from the same window and re-
ceived bad burns about the hands
and arms clear to his shoulder.
Both were SO badly burned that
they were taken to a doctor who
found that their condition was not
serious though their burns were
painful.
Mrs. Lamora ran to the back
veranda where she was rescued by
Blake, the policeman, re-
ceiving no injuries. The house
was practically destroyed. 1t is
understood that both parties had
some insurance.

Father Loses Life lin
Effort to Save Son

Orwell Skinner, SIS years old, a
paper maker and his son, Alton,
IL years old, lost their lives in 4
drowning accident at East Rye
gate just obove the paper mill, at
11.20 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Both bodies were taken out of the
water soon after the accident
through the diving of Frank Rob-
erts and Harvey Byron, who
brought the bodies to the surface.
Efforts to resuscitate the two
failed. Funeral service were held
at their nome Monday afternoon
at 3 o'clock.
Alton was in bathing in the
river above the dam and nearly
opposite the little cottage house
occupied by the Skinner family,
when he cried for help and sank
into deep water. He had impro-,
vised q pair of water wings placed
under his chest in such a position
that they held up. His little sis
ter, Viola, 9 years old, was rowing
a boat nearby.
The can did not prove air tight
and suddenly the boy sank. He
came to the surface and cried for
help. His father who was reading
on the veranda rushed to the wa
ter's edge and dashed into the
liver to rescue his boy. He never
came to the surface from his
plunge. 1t is the opinion of his
fellow workers that Mr.. Skinner
who suffered some from heart
trouble, died as he entered the
river from excitement or the eff
feet of the plunge.
The bodies we're recovered in
eight feet of water.
