speeches to ten minutes, beginning
tomorrow morning.
Developments on the House side
Of the Capitol indicated that West
ern Republicans will seek to have
the House approve the so per cent
maximum surtax rates as provided
in the Senate bill. A letter was
sent to members of the House.
signed by Representatives Frear, Of
Wisconsin: Dickinson, of Iowa; Bar
bour, of California; Little, Of Kan
sas: Reavis, of Nebraska, and King,
Of Illinois, urging that the House
instruct its conferees to accept the
Senate surtax rates instead of in
sisting upon the maximum of 80 per
cent as provided in the House bill.
Attacks Secretary Mellon.
Senator La Toilette, in addressing
the Senate, made an attack upon
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon.
He declared the Secretary should
be retired from office because Of an
"impudent and brazen assertion that
wealth will not bear its full share
of tax burdens, and that Congress
might as well accept 1t as fact"
The Wisconsin Senator read from
testimony by Secretary Mellon be-
fore Congressional committees in
connection with the contention OF
the Treasury that excessive surtax
rates cause investments in tax-eX-
empt securities.
isn't this a brazen statement
asserted Senator La Toilette. HE
knows the game. He is in favor OF
a system of taxation that will let
wealth escape. He said that there
were dozens of ways to evade tax
alton that he knew about that the
other fellow had not gotten onto
yet. The Secretary does not rec
ommend methods of preventing tax
evasion. That attitude. IL carried
out through the entire field OF leg
islation, would mean the end of law
and the beginning of anarchy.
There seems to be no doubt but
that the responsibility for recon-
mending the reduction of super
taxes should be placed squarely
upon the Secretary of the Treasury,
who is himself reputed to be one of
the richest men in the United
States"
senator WATSON, OF lHuldud, uc-
Tended Secretary Mellon, declaring
that he did not say and did not
mean that he was in favor of the
evasion of taxation by the rich"
Senator La Toilette served notice
that he would seek a separate vote
on his amendment to make tax re-
turns public records afer the Sen
ate in committee OF the whole COM
pletes consideration of the bill. The
vote was so close that its support
ers seemed to believe the amend
ment might be approved later.
In urging adoption of this amend
ment Senator La Toilette said that
the country is entitled to know
who is bearing a proper share of
the country's burden of taxes and
who is escaping them"
Senator La Toilette said that
wealth is being rapidly concentrated
in the hands of a few while the
poverty Of the poor is increasing.
He advocated a limitation upon the
amount that a person may receive
through an inheritance.

LONG DIRK SLABS
CREEK in STREET
Assailant of Dante Pizza
Thought to Have Been
COuntryman.

Stabbed. it is believed, by a boyhood
friend in the elimination Of a long
feud started shortly after their arrival
from Greece, Dante PizZa, 81 years
old, is lowering between life and death
this morning at Casualty Hospital
while the police scour the city for his
assailant. The attack took place in
front of Pizzas cigar, store, 1114
Eighth street southeast.
A fellow countryman is said to have
sworn vengeance on Pizza. Several
persons say they saw the man creep
up behind his unsuspecting victim and
plunge a 10-inch dirk in Pizza's back,
Pizza fell to the sidewalk unconscious
While the assailant escaped.
Physicians at Casualty Hospital
early this morning entertained little
hope for PiZza's recovery. The knife
wound resulted in the paralysis Of his
entire left side.

Disappointed at the Illustration Of
his plans, Booth became Infatuated. ac-
cording to Mrs. Hicklipg, and one
night when greatly under the influence
OF intoxicants, went to the theater
where the President and his Cabinet
were In attendance, and shot LINCOLN,
The house. which Is now the Lincoln
Museum. was at that time a theatrical
boarding house. and the dwelling place
OF Booth. Lincoln was carried there.
IL being directly across the street
from the theater. and placed on the
bed In which Booth slept. This was
kept secret on account OF the Intense
feeling at the dine, and Is known to
but few.
Mrs. Hickling relates that f.Tad"
Lincoln, the former Presidency son.
who rs now president of the Pull
man. Car Company, rode up and
down Pennsylvania avenue m cab
shouting that there was no cause to
be alarmed as his father was ali
right He was at this time ~ years
old.
Took Peanut Johnny'z Horse.
After the shooting, Mrs. Hickline
relates, Booth ran to the rear Of
the theater and got the horse which
Peanut Johnny" an employe OF the
theater, rode, and at once speeded
to Jim Walsh's drug store. There
was a young drug clerk employed
at this place who was "son of
virginia" and who was the butt OF
all the Southern Bloods" jokes.
Booth aroused the boy, Harold, and
told him to show him the way over

| ignorant of the shooting, showed
him the way for several miles be-
fore Booth told him of the assassi-
nation. When the clerk learned
that he was aiding In the escape of
a murderer, he became frightened
but Booth assured the boy that he
would defend him with his last
breathe ~
However, the boy, Booth and John
Surratt, along with the rest of the
associates were hung later in Vir.
| ginia.
The story related by Mrs. Hick-
ling, who was informed Of all the
details by her close association with
those concerned, brings to light sew
eral facts heretofore unknown by
the general public. Some people
believe that Booth was either burned
to death in q building, escaped to
South America, or was shot by a
young soldier. However. Mrs. Sarah
HickIing states that he was hung
by Virginia oficials. It also has
never been generally known that
Lincoln died in the bed which was
reguArly occupied by Booth. Ac-
cording to the statements of Mrs,
Hickling, Booth committed the muir
der mainly because his plans for
the kidnapping had gone amiss,
rather than for any hatred he held
for the former President.

Forgan said in his statement. which
was presented as a consensus OF Mid
die Western business men,
Congress apparently believes bust
ness ought to have no objection 20
paying a large part OF its profits
over TO the government in the shape
Of taxes. As a matter Of fact. Il
is from earnings which are larger
than those needed 20 al the wants
OF individuals that the increase OF
wealth and production in the coun-
try must come. 1t Is q very small
percentage Of the earnings OF a cor
poratioR which is used by the share
holders for fulillment Of personal
wants.
Check ON Industry.
Taxes such as we have today
do not compel many to curtail per-
sonal expenditures but do prevent
the expansion of Industry and COM
anerce, which probably works
greater hardship upon the laboring
classes than II does upon those who
actually pay the taxes"

CONDEMN TERM "FAlR SEX"
English Women Go on Record as op-

5ygone Age"

It has been officially declared In Eng
land that women, ell blec are neither
'week' nor fair" AT least the Wom-
ems Freedom league, under the lead
ership Of Councillor Margaret Hodge,
has put ban on the terms fair SEX
and weaker SEX" "Spinster" and
"mother-in-law' have also been put
on the feminine index. Further, 1t Is
averred once and for all time that:
Woman's judgment is as good as
mans.
Women talk less than men.
Women can keep a secret.
Zone irritating custom" said Miss
Hodge, comes from an age when to be
fair was woman's Grst and foremost
Guty. The only women who counted
were fog ornament rather than for use.
Women may be the weaker sex physi-
cally, but certainly not morally. The
name mother-in-law is still the stand
by Of farces and comic literature. 1t
is an idea from some bygone age
