HARDING TO. HELP
President to Intervene in House
Senate Tax Jam.
Surtax Rate Now Main Issue in
Revision Battle.

Washington, Nov. 17.-President
Harding, thru Representative MondAH,
Republican leader of the house, ar
ranged today to intervene in the con-
ference between the house and senate
over the tax revision bill
The house had before it today the
question of accepting or rejecting the
senate amendment to the tax bill fix
ing the maximum income surtaX rate
of fifty per cent as compared with the
present sixty-five per cent and the
thirty-two per cent in the original
house revision measure.
A hot two hours fight was forecast
with the result apparently in doubt,
tho leaders of the Democrats and the
insurgent Republicans expressed con-
fidence that the senate amendment
would be accepted.
A canvass of the minority was said
to have shown all except three in ia
vurs of the senate figure. Leaders of
the insurgents" claimed to have
from 80 to 85 votes
Republican leaders had promised to
bring in a rule providing for a vote
on the straight-out issue of accepting
the senate amendment Republican
supporters of the amendment asked
that this be done SO there would be
no cIouding of the issue thru any par
liamentary procedure.

FEAR K. C. SMALLPOX SPREAD
Topeka Health Authorities View Epi-
demic With Alarm.

one hundred and thirty-three cases
of smallpox have been reported to the
city board of health since January /,
according to statistics received today
from DR.. Earle G. Brown. city health
officer.
Only five cases have been reported
in the last four and one-hah months.
nyye are considerably worried, tho,
about the disease after ascertaining
with what force the smallpox scare is
attacking Kansas City, Mo" said Doc
tor Brown today.
Reports are current that in the
.neighborhood of sixty deaths have oc-
Cured from "Black Smallpox. in
kansas City since the Legion conven-
ton. or the first of the month.
The city health officials fear a
spread of the disease in Topeka, due
to the proximity of Kansas City. and
the heavy travel to and from that city.
1.-The easiest disease in the world
to prevent is smallpox" stated Brown
Vaccination is a sure preventive
and everyone should be vaccinated inn
mediately. Out of the 1913 cases in
Topeka so far this year, only six had
been vaccinated and none of the six
within recent years
A vaccination for smallpox is ef-
fective for several years.
No deaths have resulted in Topeka
since 1916 from the smallpox. but Doc
tor Brown views the disease in Kansas
City with apprehensiveness for the
safety of Topekans.
Late reports this afternoon carried
the unofficial report that one out OF
every three persons in Kansas City,
Mo, afflicted with smallpox was dy-
inS.
Thu report caused the issuance of
an urgent request from the Topeka
city health authorities for vaccination

done so in recent months

British UniOnists Support Lloyd
George Irish Policy.
Ulster Cabinet Firmly Against
AII-Irish Parliament.

Liverpool. Nov. 17.-By an over
whelming majority, the Unionist party
in session here today, endorsed. with
certain reservations. the negotiations
now in progress between the British
government and the Irish representa-
tives.
London, Nov. 17.-Ulster's reply to
the latest British government com
munication on the question of an
Irish settlement was delivered at
Downing street this afternoon. It in
dieates that Ulster stands firm in the
attitude she has taken and will not
submit to anything considered a viola
ton of her rights.
Complaining that the government
has failed to maintain secrecy regard
ing the negotiations. the Ulster repre-
sentatives threaten to publish the cor
respondence.
The Ulster government again re-
fused to enter formal negotiations un-
less Premier Lloyd George alters the
conditions for the ireland parliament,
it was stated. The Ulster note also
again urged the publication of all cor
respondence between the premier and
the Ulsterites.
No further developments in the
situation are expected before Monday,

BILLIARD STATUE UNVEILED
Rotarians Pay Tribute to Memory OF
Topeka Aviator.

The Rotary club memorial statue
to Phil Billiard, which is to have a
place in Memorial hall was unveiled
and dedicated at the meeting of the
club at the Chamber of Commerce
this noon.
The bronze figure which typifies
the spirit of an aviator and the desire
of man to fly was designed and sculp-
tured by Merrell Gage, former To-
peka boy, who is now one of the best
known artists in the west. The entire
memorial statue is the work of SOL
diers.
Phil Billiard. to whose memory the
memorial was built, was a Topeka
aviator who was killed in France dur
ing the war. Merren Gage, the sculn-
tor. served in France. The man who
posed for the figure was a soldier.
The dedicatory and unveiling serv-
ices today We're in charge of Henry
Bennett. Fred Voiland, DR.. Edmund
James Kulp and George McDermott.
Each one of the speakers took part
in a program which developed the
thought that Lieutenant Billiard died
in a spirit of service and sacrifice,
and brought out the fact that althO
the memorial is to the memory of the
dead Topeka aviator. yet the statue it
self is designed to typify the spirit
and ideals of service rather than to be
an effigy of an individuals
