Miss Knox Confer With
Prisoners at Jail.
From Staff Correspondent of The Star.
EREnEDJrHCDrY W. 49,,

From Staf Correspondent of The Star.
FREDERICKSBURG Va, October l.
Request for a preliminary hearing
for Miss Sarah E. Knox and Roger D.
Eastlake. held for the murder of Mrs
Eastlake at Colonial Beach. probably
will be made the latter part of this
week by counsel for the accused cou-
pie, it was intimated today by Will
liam w. Butzner, one Of their attor-
neys. In asking for the preliminary
hearing it is the object Of the attor-
neys to force the prosecution to show
against Eastlake and Miss Knox in
trying to obtain an indictment Of first
degree murder against them when the
grand jury meets at Montross Octo-
ber "a.
Mr.. Butsner also indicated that the
defense will not ask for change of
venue for the prisoners. He said he
believes the sentiment against East
lake and Miss Knox IN Westmoreland
county Is not as strong as has been
reported. Eastlake's defense. it is In
dicated. will be an alibi.
Nurses to Aid Miss Knox.
Whether an effort will be made to
have the prisoners released on bail
has not been definitely decided by
the attorneys. They likely will reach
a decision on this question after a
conference with Donald Eastlake, the
accused mans brother, who arrived
here this afternoon from Phila.
delphia.
Two nurses who claim they are
friends of Miss Knox and graduated
with her from Johns Hopkins UNI
versity. have noted Mr.. Butzner that
they are coming to Fredericksburg
today to help in defending the woman.
The names of the nurses. who live
in Baltimore. were not revealed.
Hints at Previous Marriage.
Detective T. K. Boulware, leading
in the investigation of the case,
excited natives Of Colonial Beach to-
day when he announced that he has
uncovered information which tends to
show that Eastlake was married to
Miss Sarah E. Knox in Japan. The
nature Of the information the officer
declined to disclose. but will submit
it, he says, at the trial of the ac-
cused couple as evidence in the
prosecution.
The detective said that Miss Knox
has revealed to him that she met
Eastlake while he was youth in
Japan WIN MS 1aener, more than
twenty years ago. He asserted that
she said she became attached to
Eastlake when he was a boy and
treated him "as a mother does her
son." It Is known that Eastlake
spent fourteen years of his Nfe In
the orient, but the detectives state-
ment is the first intimation Of Miss
Knox ever having been out of the
United States. The detective says
he has written to the Baltimore po-
lice for further information. which,
he believer, will prove conclusively
that the couple have been married.
Seeks Further Evidence.
"All 1 need Is the marriage license
to prove my statement that Miss
Knox and Eastlake were at one time
married." he said. 81 do not know
whether they are still legally welded
or have been separated. But I have

BITTERLY SCORES
TAX REVISION BILL
Senator Reed Declares Re-
pubIicans Lift Burden From
the Wealthy.

The action of the budget bureau in
cutting down congressional appro-
priations for the federal departments
as a part of the plan to reduce taxes
was denounced in the Senate today
by Senator Reed, democrat. Missouri.
'as an impudent assertion of the right
to set aside the action of the legis-
lative body"
Il denounce this action as Illegal"
declared Senator Reed. Il denounce
it as defiance of the power of Con-
gress. 1, assert that If allowed to
proceed Congress has forfeited the
greatest right of the legislative body
namely, the right to say how much
shall be spent and when and where
it shall be spent.
IF carried to its logical conclusion,
the Army gould be dismissed. the
the government ended. For such ac-
ton impeachmenta should be had"
Il Attacks Tax Bfll.
Senator Reeds attack on the budget
was made in the course Of a prepared
address attacking the tax-revision
bill. He declared that the sponsors
of the tax measure had dropped 1t
like an illegitimate baby on the pub
lie doorstep and run away without
having the grace even to attach to
its skirt the usual legend, Please be
kind to the baby"
Referring to promises that the
measure would be one Of the utmost
simplicity, Senator Reed said it was
SO simple that members of the finance
committee had needed the service of
five Treasury experts to guide them
along its crooked way" and that four
experts had to be kept continuously
in the Senate so that the committee
members explaining the bill would
not go astray."
Analysing the bill in detail, Senator
Reed attacked the proposal to reduce
the maximum income surtax rate
from SIS per cent to 80 per cent, de-
claring that the argument that this
would keep the rich from evadinE
taxes through investment in tax-free
securities was "a subterfuge" that
Could Evade Taxation.
If the rich he said, wanted to evade
taxation they still would invest in
tax exempt securities because there
was no security on the market bring
ing an interest of 80 per cent. He
added that 1t was safe to assume that
the very wealthy already had absorb
ed the tax exempt securities now on
was no necessity to reduce the tax rate
in an effort to keep them from max
ing additional investments in such
securities.
"When the people Of the country"
continued Senator Reed. learn what
is bein done by the silent gentlemen
who sit here quietly not defending
this bill and trying to pass it by a
conspiracy of silence they will have
something to say"
Taking up the excess profits repeal
Senator Reed said that under the COM
mittee proposal to eonfine the total
corporation tax to q Is per cent levy
on income corporations making high
nrofits would be given big reductions
in taxes. while those making profits
under 10 per cent would pay more
than at present.
Shoud the committee plan prevail.
the speaker said, a corporation max
ing 50 per cent on an investment Of
500. 900 woud pay only $1,000 year,
whereas such corporations now are
required to pay $17,220.

recognition of the fact that they
have special interests in the far
east. The existence of that condition
made it possible to single out these
countries without discriminating in
intent or effect against other Euro
pean governments or Latin Am
cans which are not asked to send
delegates to the conference.
Belgium has many important invest
ments in China and in other sections
of the east. The Netherlands are in

while Portugal is one of the ear
liest settlers in the far east.
Will Close Invitations.
1t is the understanding in diplo-
matte circles that with the dispatch
of these invitations no other coun-
tries will expect to be invited to the
conference.
This COVE rnment invited three Eu-
ropean nations to send delegates To
the conference, in conSonance with
its desire to discuss in the most cor
dial and friendly manner possible the
Pacific and far eastern situations

phere.
No date has been set for the meet
ing of the American delegation to the

gates are in Washington except Mr.
Root and s-e waiting to hear from
him as to when it will be convenient
for him to attend.
Negotiations are in progress for
temporary arrangements to provide
the cable facilities between the United
States and Japan, on terms agreeable
to both nations. 1t was indicated in
official quarters today. A break in
the cable which cannot be repaired
before next spring renders such an
understanding necessary.

ARGENTINE MOTION
BLOCKED D|NLEAGUE
Assembly, Unanimously,
Again Postpones Action on
Covenant Amendment.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA, October 4.-The assembly
of the league of nations today adopt
ed, unanimously, resolution, report
ed by it's commission on amend
the amendment to the league cove
nant proposed last year by Argen-
tina. 1t provided that all sovereign
states should automatically become
members of the league. The reso-
luton, while embodying a. decision
not to consider this amendment at
the present, expressed sympathy with
the idea inspiring II. and expressed
regret that Argentina was not rep
resented in this years assembly.
The withdrawal of the Argentine
delegates from the assembly last
year was because of body's re-
fusal to meet Argentina's wishes as
to the amendment of the covenant.
/ Passage of the resolution was pre-
-ceded BY a long debate Senior Blanco,
Of Uruguay opened the discussion. He
said the covenant was not perfect and
must be perfected. but that this were
better done when the big countries
now outside the league came into it.
Senior Blanco said he held the same
view as did Canada, which had proposed
its amendment. but he thought the time
had noA yet come to take a decision re-
gartling it. He was in entire sympathy,
he declared, with the idea Of a complete
league, with all the states Of the world
as it's members, but he thought that the
time for this, also, had not yet arrived.
He hoped that the date was not far dis
tant, however, when the principle of
the Argentine amendment would become
fully effective by the entry Of all states
into the league.
Blanc0 Expresses Regret.
Regret at the absence of Argentina
was expressed by Senior Blanco. but he
felt himself bound to recognize that
much had been done to make the league
more democratic He hoped Argentina
could see it that way and come back
into active participation in the leagues

"Call Mr., Wick" said the district
attorney.

word of Wick's testimony. In fact

would be black enough for me II he
merely stated the facts as they ac-
tually had happened. but l doubted If
he would be content with that. II,
as felt certain. Wick was in the en-
ploy of the conspirators. 1t was more
than likely that they would seek to
clinch the case against me with his
testimony.
He gave his name, James Wick, and
his occupation as superintendent Of
the Granddeck.
"How long have you been employed
thereT
Ever since the building was
opened"
where were you employed pre-
vIously?"
Wick hesitated. wondered If Cor
mans surmise that he had been in
! prison were true, what he would say.
Before that" he ,stammered, II
was In the employ of Mr.. Kent in the
West"
tY AFn
HE owns the Granddeck. He had
known me for years. He brought me
on when he built this building"
While his answer seemed to satisfy
the district attorney. I was convinced
from Wick's nervousness that he was
concealing something, that further
questioning into his past might lead
to unexpected developments.
Are you acquainted with the de-
fendant?"
"Very slightly"
"How long have you known hlm?'
: 1 was listening intently. Would he
admit knowing that I was a relative
of old Rufus CASTOR?
II don't really know him." Wick ex-
planned. "T've seen him two or three
times. Mr.. CASTOR, one of my ten
ants. told me that he was going away
and that he had given the key of his
apartment to young man named
| Nelson whom he had employed as
caretaker. He said that the care
taker would arrive at ten o'clock on
the Sunday morning that the Gastons
went away"
"And did the defendant arrive at
that time-at the time he was ex-
pected?"
"He did not. What first attracted
my attention to him was that he
sneaked into the building earlier than
| he was expected"
"You say he sneaked in," the dis
trlct attorneys voice expressed prop
er horror of such conduct. "Please
explain to the jury what you mean

There was instant CONSERVATION in
the district attorneys camp. With
visions Of discredited testimony con-
fronting him, he was on his feet roar
ing objections. Throughout the whole
| courtroom there was a sibilant stir,
and the Judge began rapping for or

Close behind my counsel my mother
had been sitting, accompanied by some
woman wearing a heavy veil. I had
paid little attention to her hitherto,
supposing that 1t was some horel maid
whom my mother had hired 10 accom-
pany her to court, for so far as knew

now, to my amazement, reached for

How had Barbara come to be sitting

Delighted as I was at seeing her, I

McGregor from making any plans to
call her as witness. had urged her
to keep silent and not become involved
in any way in the case. My eyes
sought hers for an explanation, but
after that one whispered word, that I
was unable to hear, she had quickly
drawn her veil over her face.

Mule Kicks Man and Dies.

had some bean was borne out when his
story that he had been kicked by a
mule on the head and that as a result
the animal was lying helpless with q
broken leg, was investigated and found
to be true. Jones said his way was
blocked by stray mule and he made
threatening gesture to frighten it
away. 1t refused to stampede, how
ever, meeting the assault with a we'll
directed kick to the brow. The mules
leg was broken in two places. It was
pronounced helpless cripple and shot.
