The second day of registration found

districts that went to the polls 20 reg
lister. In the Tammany strongholds,
however, as on the first day the men
outnumbered the women.
In some sections there was a falling
OF from Mondays record in the num-
Der that registered due to Yom Kip
pur, the jewish holiday, which was
ushered in at sundown. An exception
to this was on the upper East Side,
where women voters registered in
greater numbers than on the first day
Of registration. The holiday did keep
the totals down on the East Side in
Harlem. although a better showing
was made than on the second day Of
last year. Nearly two thirds Of those
who went to the polling places in this
section yesterday to be enrolled were
women. The Bronx was somewhat af-
fected by the Jewish holiday, accord
ing to reports received late last night.
A delay OF more than an hour in reg
lstratlon in twenty -four districts of the
lower East Side resulted last night when
inspectors Of the districts failed to re-
port at o'clock The men appointed
as inspectors in these districts were all
of the Jewish faith, and did not appear
because of the celebration of Yom Kip
pur. It was some time before word Of
this was received by the Election Board.
A hurry call was then aent for substi
tute inspectors, number of whom were
sworn in for the emergency
Reports showed that registration on
the West Side was heavier than on
Monday night. Women far outnu.A-
berod the men in most of the polling
places in this district, it was said. The
number who registered yesterday in
thc theatrical district and along Broad
way showed little change from the first
day Of registration. This is a section
made up largely of transients living
in hotels, who do not register. An in
crease was shown yesterday in most
of the Italian sections, men and women
filling the polling booths in Little Italy
in almost equal proportions.

There is no real. fundamental a.

would hardly seem necessary TO do
more than to point to the experience

The Treasury Department has lad
the experience under the present ex-
else taxes for almost three years. and
through its cooperation with repre-
sentatives from the various businesses
taxed has evolved regulations which
have proved satisfactory both to the
department and 80 the tax payers. It
is & further fact that the excise taxes
being collected under the present law
heve been audited practically 20 date.
while the same corporations have been

From The Tr'bnne's Washington Burccu
WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-THE Sen
ate today struck from the tax bill the
transportation taxes on freight. pas
senger fares, Pullman fares, express
charges and oil by pipe line The re-
peal is made effective January /, 1922,
n accordance with the action of the
Finance Committee. Repeal Of the
stamp tax on parcel post packages was
not reached, but this also doubtless
will be Endorsed by the Senate.
Action on the transportation taxes
came after q sharp fight. Senator
Trammell Of Florida, offered an amend
ment to make the repeal effective in
ten days from the time Of the passage
OF the act Back of this amendment
was an effort of some of the Democrats
and some OF the agrarian Republicans
to upset the compromise plan in rela-
ton to the bill by takin, more radical
action. The Trammell amendment was
beaten on rollcall by SO to 80.
The result of the vote on the Tram
nell amendment was looked on as IN
dlcating that the compromise plan
would be adopted. II was the first test
in the Senate on his plan. 1t does not
represent the division on the sales tax
but it means that this tax will not be
enacted.

ance OF the compromise plan, would

BERLIN, March 5-The German Cabl-
net still IS defying the allies on in

ton obtainable.
Following a long session of the min
istry yesterday, when opinions were
heard from experts, IL was reported the
opinion was expressed that at would be
more preferable for the French 10 carry
out their threats than for the Germans
to sign"
Some members OF the Cabinet said they
were hopeful the negotiations would not
be broken of entirely.
The Cabinet has made 1t fairly evident
that IT Will back uP Foreign Minister
SimOns to the limit in his replies to Pre-
mier Lloyd George. The experts are
understood to have taken the position
that Simons chose the only course open.
Most of these experts are said to hold the
opinion that of the two evils the pen
alties are preferable to the Paris ink
demnity decision. Many Germans are
convinced that France VIII extend her
occupation Of German territory in any
event. whether Germany meets the allied
indemnity terms or not consequently
signing the conditions would only be
postpOning the inevitable.
The gravest situation since the war is
confronting Germany. An incident re-
vealing the temper Of the Nation oc-
CURED in the Reichstag during debate
on President Ebert's message concerning
indemnity.

tempted to speak and 1t was evident he
was about to make an attack on the gov
