PITTSBURGH. May 27.-The

cause OF the ENHANCEMENT growing

81 do not care TO discuss the Val
entino case, except to say that Mr..
Valentino is not to be classed with
Mr.. Arbuckle." Hays said. II have
no right to urge the removal Of Mr..
Valentino as a star, because IT Is
not the associa tion's purpose to deal
with individual cases. It's goal Is
the elimination Of filth from the pic
lures, not by censorship, but by
starting right where pictures are
made-in the studios"
Asked how his action in the Ar
buckle case was taken, Mr.. Hays
said:
"I had no real authority emanating
from my position to bar Mr.. Ar

butted in. I used only the right Of

men of the films II they didn't think
It was inconsistent with their new
policy to let Mr. Arbuckle continue.
They agreed with me that 1t was.
But I have no intention as yet OF

Prediction Made American
Taxes Will Remain High for
Twenty-Five Years.
BY w. II. ATKINS,
International News Service.

American taxes will remain high
for twenty-five years longer, chiefly
because Europe will be slow in
liquidating the debts for war loans
made by this Government, high
Administration officials said today.
Foreign debtors offer no hope
that they will be able to begin
curtailing the principal Of their
obligations until many years have
elapsed. Officials thus far have not
felt confident that any OF the Euro.
pean governments, except Great
Britain can pay even the interest
on their debts. for many years to
come.
American taxpayers are paying
about $1,000 100000 u year In In
terest on the country's public debt.
More than half OF this debt, repre-
sents borrowings from the people,
later loaned to Europe. EuropC's q
debts therefore, will keep the tax
burden heavy, until a considera BILE
proportion of the total Of $1l 600.

Officials Of this Government are

financial methods. America must

Treasury officials today declared
that taxes necessary to pay interest

The courts agreed with Mrs. Jo'

order TO avoid confusion) and allowed
her a paltry $25 a week alimony.
But that was in 1912, when Conway
Tearle was in the transitory stage
between screen and fOotlights.
Married to Pearl.
It was while supporting Mrs. Jo'

himself of taking the Pearl of Sleeps

Naturally SIS a week was quite n

Mrs. Tearle had quite expensive
tastes and habits.
But the divorce courts smiled upon
Tearle's desires TO be freed from the
Pearl and then s25 a week didn't
hurt so much. Naturally. the Pearl
got no alimony.
Then came Mr.. Tearle's transition
from footlights to- screen. Such a
splendid figure did he make upon
the film stage that the National Pic

But. on the other hand. the laugh

strongly to Tearle in his search for
another lovemate. And he had mar
ried her, which meant she had first
call on his weekly envelope. Taking
this into consideration, the courts
decided that s75 a week should be

That was early last year.

and that he Is not concealing muir

cuse.
This is what must he proved in
the case OF Walter s. Ward, self
confessed slayer of Clarence Peters,
Ward, vice president Of the Ward
Baking Company, declares he shot
Peters. an ax-sailor. in self-de-
fense after paying $4,000 to a band
of blaCkmailers, of which Peters was
leader.
II one regard Ward as the victim
of blackmailers one Immediately feels
Peters deserved TO be killed. Ward
did right. is the first thought.
Yet contradictions have appeared
in Wards story; discrepancies have
cropped up between the slayer own
version OF the killing of Peters and
the facts and circumstances Of his
death as discovered by Evening Jour
nal reporters.
Ward says he paid for silence OF
certain matters. Ward declares he
killed to forever seal the lips OF a
man who threatened exposure, yet
the irony Of fate IL such that he must
reveal those secrets in order to clear
himself from a charge Of murder.
Some innocent persons may suffer

slayer's wife. says she can dispel the
mystery, but she is not permitted 10

Wards Fear Great.
Secrets exact a heavy toll from
persons who possess them. Guilt
burdens the person who conceals
his own derelictions, and IT may
enrich unsCrupulous persons who
happen upon information concern
ing them.
Strange that Ward. commits
sioner of police in New Rochelle
couldn't contrive somehow to have
his prosecutors disarmed; strange
that he couldn't manage to set detec'
tives to get evidence.
Ward Is a big, strong man, they
say. Yet the fear Of rumor, dread
OF something as intangible and
maybe as unreal as a nightmare
could force him to pay out thou
sands Of dollars and finally influence
him to take another's life.
Blackmailers don't necessarily
haunt a person whom the truth will
directly harm, but they follow some
one with money If he be ever sc
slightly connected with scandal.

In return for money the persecr

is paid on the instRllment plan

Special Dispatch to The Star
CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 21.-Public
Printer George H. Carter in an ad-
dress last night before the Franklin
Typothetae of Chicago spoke specific
ally in answer to various attacks
made on the government printing
Office by Representative Blanton of
Texas, and for the first time publicly
answered them.
He charged that the representative
had exploited himself at the expense
of business men of high standing in
the commercial world. These men, he
said. had paid for the printing and
circulation of his attacks. including
his speech. for which he was later
the evidence. he told his audience.
for the checks were indorsed over to
him as public printer, and he now
holds a photostat copy of one of the
checks signed by a Chicago organi-
zation of business men.
Denies Specific Charges.
Mr.. Carter proceeded to deny spe-
ton as delivered in his addresses and
printed in various publications. In
one speech Blanton is quoted as say
ing that If his fellow congressman
would help him he could send home
$500 useless employees of the gov
ernment printing office, and that he
had succeeded in bringing about a
reduction of 700 employees. Mr.. Car
ter said that Blanton had no more to
do with the reduction than he had to
do with the invention of printing.
Referring to Blanton's charge of
petty graft. specifying the practice of
congressman in having book bind
ing done at government expense. the
public printer said:
"The records of the government
printing office show that Mr.. Blanton
himself has had his share of books
bound at public expense. more than
one hundred of them having been
specially bound on his order at cost
of s277
Recipient Of Other Benefits.
I'm addition to this free binding at
government expense, Mr.. Blanton has
ordered from the government print
ing office more than a million en-
velopes, to which he was entitled
without charge, it is true, but for
which the taxpayers of the country
have had to pay s2.500. that his
speeches might be franked through
out the country. also at government
expense. The utter absurdity of Mr..
Blanton's statement that il the bind
ing of government publications for
members of Congress-, including, him
self, were stopped twotihrds of the
employees of the government printing
Office might be, sent home, is shown
by the fact that all OF such binding
last year cost but $4,000"
