HOUSE MAY VOTE
ON SURTAX LATE
THIS AFTERNOON
Senate Amendment Likely To Be
Accepted After a Hot Two
Hours Debate

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE house
had before it today the question of
accepting or rejecting the senate
amendment to the tax revision bill
fixing the maximum income surtax at
so per cent compared with the present
65 per cent and the 80 per cent in
the original house revision measure.
A hot two hours fight was forecast
with the result apparently in doubt
although leaders of the Democrats
and "insurgent" Republicans ex-
pressed belief that the senate amend
ment would be accepted. A canvass
of the minority was said to have
shown all except three in favor of the
senate measure although leaders of
the insurgents" claimed to have S5
per cent of their forces lined up
against the plan.
Republican supporters of the
amendment asked that the issue be
made clear so that any parliamentary
procedure could not cloud it.

HUNDRED YEARS is
NORMAL LIFE SPAN
SAYS CENTENARIAN
DR.. Stephen Smith Says Three
Score and Ten Idea Is All
Wrong

New York. Nov. IA movement
to educate the people of the world to
live 100 years is suggested by DR.
Stephen Smith, 90 years old, who de-
clared in an address to the United
States Public Association last night
that the Mosaic law limiting the span
of life to three score years and ten
was all wrong.
"Moses himself proved the falsity
of the law by living 40 years beyond
his own allotted time" he said. He
died apparently in good health, for
it was written that his eye was un-
dimmed and his natural force un-
abated Normal and potential life of
man, he said, was 100 years, and ev-
cry child born was adapted in physi-
cal construction and function to live
century. Deaths occurring at an
earlier age were due, he said, to con-
ditions incompatible with the con-
struction of human organism and by
proper education of the people
through the association. such condi-
tions could be changed.

SHIPYARDS NOT

AMERICAN PLAN
British PROPOSAL Not Un-
derstood By American
Experts All Navy
Yards Would Be Re-
tanned With Full Equip
ment, Is Their Idea

Washington, Nov. 17.-(By the AS
sociated Press)-The British sugges-
lion that each of the naval powers re-
tain at least one naval building yard

year d-es not appear to be under
stood by American naval officers par
ticuiarly familiar with construction
problems. There was no suggestion
in the American limitation proposals
that any yards be scrapped and so
far as navy yard facilities in this
country ard concerned. all will be
needed. it is said, in the maintenance
and repair of the retained fleet.
AT present the United States ha.,
several navy yards equipped to build
capital ships. 1t has not been con
templated here that it would be neces-
safy under the reduction program to
scrap the equipment of these shops
and building docks. Some of the ma
chinery would not be needed, OF
course. for repair work and would lie
idle; Lnt the bulk of the government
plants in existence would be con-
stantly in use in keeping up the eigh-
teen battleships to be retained by the
United States, it was said. These
ships, the newest in the navy, are in
mapy cases now approaching the
point where regular overhaul pro-
grams are necessary to keep them in
first class shape and with the scrap

keeping the yards busy up to this

If the British suggestion which is 4
wholly informal one so far has to do
with the means for the insuring OF
adyag cement of naval engineering
during the 10 year holiday proposed,
there is no doub- that it will receiv,
much approval among American
naval officers. That aspect of the
holiday proposal, already has appeal
ed to technical experts of the United
States. They have assumed that this
would be covered in the final form OF
the holiday agreement.
One thing that many officers hope
will be possible under the limitation
program is that the navy can be kept
in better shape at all times than was
ncssible with the larger fleets and
extensive work on new programs
This has to do, il is said, more with
preparation of plans for vessels of all
types than with the actual conditions
of the ships afloat. Those are al
ways in about the state of readiness

with the technical personnel released
by the reduction of the navy from
other tasks, it is hoped that plans for

WITH DEATH FOR LOVE

Geneva, Nov. 17.-The love
tragedy of twin sisters, who drew
lots for death by poison became
known recently in the Innsbruck
courts when one. Of them was
tried for murder. She was ac-
quilted after she told her story.
The girls, daughters of farm
er named Goldheir, fell in love
with former Hungarian officer,
who was unable to distinguish the
girls, and courtcd both, thinking
he was always with the same sis
ter. The officer when he realized
the situation, asked the girls to
decide which should marry him.
They solved the problem by
preparing glass of water and a
glass of poison. They drew lots
and the loser drank and died.
When the survivor was arrested
the officer disappeared.
