TAX BILL SENT TO SENATE
Raises Income Tax Exemption for
Married Men to $4,000 Provides
Repeal of Excess Profits Tax.

Washington, Aug. 23.-The Fordney
tax bill. which was passed by the
house on Saturday by vote of 274 to
125, now goes to the senate, where the
tentative plans are to give it consid-
GRAFTON ahead of the tariff measure.
The bill, as passed by the house,
raises the income tax exemption for
married men or "heads of families"
to $1,000, instead of $1,000, the pres
ent amount. The exemption allowed
for each dependent is raised from
5000 to $500. These changes apply to
the income of 1921, being made retro
active.
The bill provides repeal of the ex-
cess profits tax and substitution of an
increase in the corporation tax, now
10 per cent, to 1917 per cent. The
maximum surtax is placed at 80 per
cent. 1t applies to all incomes above
$4,000 year, and the higher rates
running up to 60 per cent-are an
nulled. Efforts to make these two
clauses retroactive failed.

the financial OUTLAWS necessary abroad
as well as in America
Officials are arranging to char
ter several steamers at New York to

is FINAL OFFER TO ERIN
Premier Lloyd George Says Peace
Terms Are Best Britain Has to
offer-Rejection Means War.

London, Aug 22.-The British gov
eminent, declared Premier Lloyd
George on Friday, in making its set
Element proposals to Ireland had de-
cided on putting the whole of its terms
into the letter to Eamonn de Valera
without keeping anything back, and
the sequel had proved he said, that
it was right in adopting that course.
II want to make it Clear continued
the prime minister, that the govern
ment did not put forth haggling terms,
but put forward everything they could
possibly concede to purchase peace
and the good will of the Irish people,
In Ireland, itself; so far as / can see,
the doubt is not so much as to the
terms, but as to whether the govern
ment really means them.
THAT is a question Of working out
the terms-of elucidation and elabora-
tion, and not changing of the terms.
The outline cannot be altered nor the
basis changed.
IF there is rejection, and final re-
lection beyond hope of negotiation,
steps will undoubtedly have to be TAX
en- which the executive ought not and
won't wish to take without first con-
sulting parliament and giving it full
opportunity to expressing approval or
disapproval Of any steps we might pro-
pose to it,

Gompers.

Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 24.-Presi-
dent Harding looked with favor on
labor's request for representation at
the disarmament conference to be
held in Washington, Samuel Gompers

on representation at the Disarmament
discussion.
Mr.. Gompers added that he had re-
ceived a letter of appreciation from
President Harding after visiting the
White House and suggesting that
American labor be permitted repre-
sentation in the conference.
Labor has always been an advo-
cate of disarmament" said Mr.. Com

Harding in his move to bring about

PLOT LAID TO ANSELL
Army Officers Charged With Con-
spiracy in Escape of BergdoIl.
Majority Report of House Investigate
ing Committee Severely Criticizes
Former Judge Advocate General.

Washington, Aug. 20.-Samuel I'll
den Ansell, former acting judge advo-
cate general of the army and Of the
prisoners legal counsel; Col. John D..
Hunt and Col. c. G. Cresson were
charged with conspiracy in connection
with the escape of Grover Cleveland
Bergdoll, the draft eyader, in a re-
port signed by three of the five mem
bers of a special investigating COM
mittee, filed with the house on Thurs
day.
A minority report filed at the same
time held, however, that there was
no testimony to support the charge
that Ansell, through whose efforts, as
counsel, the prisoner was released,
"conspired to effectuate his escape,
or that his motive was improper.
One Republican, Representative
Luhring Of Indiana, and two Demo-
Gratis, johnson of Kentucky, and Flood
of Virginia, signed the majority re-
