They certainly did," Miss Ellis
averred. But she was impatient about

FAMILY HEADS
WILL PAY LESS
Illinois Constitutional Con-
ventiOn Delegates Back Up.

SPRINGFIELD. Ill. March Public
sentiment has forced the constitutional
convention to reverse itself and grant
larger income tax exemptions to heads
of families.
As originally agreed upon the income
tax section of the proposed revenue ar
ticle provided for n maximum tax ex-
emptionj of $500 with no increase for heads
of families. All efforts to increase this
sum last week failed
After the delegates returned to their
homes for the weekend, they began to
feel the pressure of public sentiment and
so recalled the income tax section. which
was amended 10 give heads Of families an
exemption of $1,000. The exemption for
single persons remains at $500 These
exemption will be only on incomes from
personal services, salaries and wages.

Rathenau INDICATED.

BERLIN, Sept. (Associated Press) -
The opinion of the German press on the
Stinnes-Lubersac contract is that It rep
resents the first fruits of the Wiesbaden
agreement for German industry, and
that it incidentally Is vindication of
the reparations policy inaugurated by
the late Foreign Minister. DR.. Walter
Ratnenau. The point Is stressed that
the agreement marks the first step
toward overcoming French hostility In
the devastated regions.
The Vosstsche ZeitunD thinks the
agreement shows that France has I'M
plicit faith In the signature Of Herr
SHINES. while the Boersen Courier ex
presses belief that the French organiza-
tion involved in the contract has by the
conclusion of the agreement expressed
lack of confidence In the ability or
willingness of the Paris Government to
effect reconstruction.
The newspaper notes that the textual
provisions OF the contract make the
duration OF the agreement and its stipu-
lations conform with the Wiesbaden
agreement. The contract provides for
per cent. commission 20 Herr Stin-
nes. which. it is stated. will be included
In the sum with which Germany will be
I'm kind"
The Majority Socialist VoerUaerts
makes this last feature the basis OF a
caption. Patriotism for Six Per Cent
over the article In which Herr Stinnes's
action is criticized by the Socialistic
News Agency. This agency asks tic
Government whether II Is true that Herr
SHINES has giver the French organiza
tion concerned monopoly for the de-
livery OF goods in kind also whether II
Is true that Herr SHINES gets six pei
cent. for doing what he fought so mucl
against In the Wiesbaden agreement
1t further asks the Industrial magnat,
how he makes his newspaper opposition
to France conform to his business policy
The LokaI Ansei0er says the French
sounded Herr SHINES on his proposition
back In last November and that Premier
Lloyd George was personally Informed
of II by Herr SHINES at the time.
The New York herald., 1922-09-06

gued. however. that even this will be
cheaper in the long run than the Gov
ernment' muddling efforts.
Alth Igh the agreement presents the
appearance of monopoly" said Herr
SHINES. practically all enterprises can
participate"
The German Governments attitude Is
lukewarm because the French can regu-
late the prices of the goods delivered
through clause providing that the price
OF materials must not exceed inland
French prices, while~th German Gov
ernment must foot the bill of the deal
which Herr SHINES and the French
agree to.
Although this SHINES deal is one of
enormous proportions 1t forms only part
OF bigger program which Herr SHINES
has in mind. He hopes to consolidate
French and German iron and coal in
terests with view of dominating the
European market. When the mark has
become stabilized he proposes to remedy
business stagnation and Unemployment
through Franco-German exploitation of
Russia

DIR. SEIPEL PLEADS
FOR AID TO AUSTRIA
Wants Restoration of Rela-
tions With Neighbors as
in Former Empire.
WITHOUT TARIFF LIMITS
Finds Supporters in League Of
Nations but Stout Oppo-
sition by Italy.

GENEVA, Sept. 5.-Chancellor Seipel OF
Austria contends that the League oi
Nations has a splendid opportunity OF
rowing Its practical value by providing
political guarantees Tor Austria. This
vas the chief argument he made to-day
while going from hotel 10 hotel to inter
view the eight members of the council
OF the league and pleading with the
Earl OF Balfour and Ambassador da
Cana to help save his country.
1T Is now or never" he said.
DR.. Seipel, who Is OF austere bearing
and is clerically garbed. is occupying a
single sparsely furnished room at hotel
here. Like Dante OF old, am knocking
from door to door for bread. and like
Dante l am finding the taste very Bit
ter" he said this afternoon.
The council in official session to-
morrow afternoon will receive the
Chancellor and the Austrian delegates
No detailed project viii be presented
but one OF general scope. The Chan
cellor will point out that II the league
will provide political guarantees through
the various governments, then private
capital In the countries of those gov
ernments will feel safe investing In
Austria. especially X the governments
will give investors encouragement.
According to Chancellor Seipels argu-
ments the countries neighboring on Aus
tria will find 1t to their profit to re-
store the commercial relations existing
under the former empire. when there
were no tariff boundaries.
The Austrian question was the only
one discussed tonight In an unofficial
manner. and tits expected that at the
session OF the assembly tomorrow
morning speeches will be made point
ing out that the league now has a
square test for Its usefulness.
The restoration OF economic union In
the greater part of the old Austro- Hun
garian Empire by accords between Aus
tria, Hungary and Czecho-Slovakia,
which the experts have been advocating.
now finds supporters among the league
delegations. but IL also encounters stout
opposition. principally from Italy, on
account OF the political danger from
such a measure.
geois are said to be agreed that the best
thing to do Is to make possible Aus
tria's living alone. and thus avoid con-
flict between her different neighbors or
groups OF neighbors. which 1t Is thought
would be certain to develop In case of
an economic union with any OF them.
Their plan would involve international
cooperation OF another kind even the
use OF an International force to insure
stable conditions has been suggested as
part of II.

TOLD 1T TO MARINES,'
FELL INTO OWN TRAP
Three London Confidence
Men Try Drop the Letter
Game in America

Special Cable 10 THE NEW YORK HERALD.

London, Sept. 5.
Three confidence tricksters who tried
TO "tell It to the marines were re-
manded to-day on a charge OF attempt
ing to steal $1,000 by working an old
time come on" game. They were out
witted when they fell into trap set by
Alexander Watson. formerly a Major In
the United State Marine Corps. who Is
stopping at the Hotel Metropole. The
swindlers. William Davidson, John Will
son and James Grant, were described by
a detective as confirmed confidence
tricksters. who victimize colonial Wis
itors."
Watson was approached by Grant
while visiting Westminster Abbey. and
became suspicious when an attempt was
made to develop a friendship. Grant
visited the Americans hotel and sug-
gested walk In Hyde Park. Watson
went along. but first arranged signals
with the hotel detective.
In Rotten Row, Hyde Park, Davidson,
posing as stranger. dropped a letter.
which Grant picked up. Then the three
talked together. Davidson is alleged to
have spoken of inheriting a fortune Of
more than f250,0o0. saying that he
meant TO give away 100000. and wanted
that amount distributed for him by rep
resentative business men. whom he Of
fered to pay 600. and, according To
Watson. asked some security OF good
faith. This Grant at once produced. and
both men invited Watson to join them
When he said he could get $780, the sum
was demanded Immediately.
Acting upon instructions given by the
detective. Watson then signaled and the
men were arrested Wilson. taken later
on suspicion. was in on the same deal.
Watson explained that he was prosecut-
Ing In order to protect other travellers.

ALLIES AGAIN TURNING
TO AMERICA FOR AID
Would Be Delighted If u. S.
Takes Part in Near East.

Special Cable to THE NEW York HERALD.
Copyright, 1929, By THE NEw YoRK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
London, Sept. 5.
Diplomats discussing the grave situa-
tion that has arisen in the Near East
through the successes of the Turks are
finding cheer In the hope that America
will take part in clearing up the situa-
ton. The Near East In this case. they
say. may prove convenient door for
America to enter the larger affairs OF
Europe
Although the British Government de-
nies wishing 10 pring in America 1t is
clear that the sight of an American
sitting at the conference table would
be something very encouraging to the
symbol OF diplomatic success
1t is hoped that meeting between
the Turks and the Greeks will take place
in a few days at Ishmid in the neutral
zone. but meanwhile the High Com
rnissioners at Constantinople are COM
municating armistlce proposals to the
Turks on representations by the allied
Governments.
Premier Lloyd George suffered a Sc
we're diplomatic defeat through the vic
tory OF the Angora Turks. which meant
the triumph of French diplomacy in the
Near East. 1t Is feared here that Kemal
Pasha will demand Adrianople and
Thrace and involve the whole Balkans,
the problem becoming one affecting Ru-
mania. Bulgaria. Jugo-Slavia and
Czecho-Slovakia. for il the Turks have a
common frontier with Bulgaria the other
nations of the Balkans will object and
may do so with force. 1t is this prob
lem OF averting new wars In the Near
East that is causing them TO turn
their eyes to America for help.
