Pope Plus XI Is Crowned With
Impressive Ceremonies at Rome

nal Lega placed upon the Pope's head
the tiara, emblem of supreme sove--
ignty.
Good will, sincerity and hope were
the dominant emotions prevailing in
Rome as the new spiritual leader was
receiving the triple crown with the
impressive and magnificent ceremony
of the Roman Catholic Church Silver
bugles of the sixteenth century an
nounced the coronation, and the red
robes of the aged cardinals, mingling
with the blue uniforms of the Swiss
guards recalled the middle ages, but
the crush of spectators at the heavy
bronze gates of the formerly forbid
ding Vatican revealed that something
was changed in Rome.
The first message sent out to the
world by Pope Plus expressed the
wish for universal peace, and declared
that while the Holy See should not
abandon any of the church temporal
prerogatives, satisfactory arrange
ment whereby the Vatican could rule
spiritually only, would be welcomed.
The cortege from the Vatican to the
Basilica was led by Mgr. Carol Resp
ighi, master of ceremonies, followed
by the heads of the various Roman
colleges and escorted by two Swiss
guards. The confessor of the pontifi-
cal family came next, then the SER
wants. the "busselanti," in their red
uniforms. A chaplain ordinary wearing
a purple cape escorted by Swiss
Guards bore the tiara on velvet cush-
ion. The jeweler to the Vatican walk
ed along behind the tiara.
Then in order came ordinary chap
lains, carrying the precious mitre;
two apostolic couriers in violet color
ed uniforms; the secret camerieri, led
by Mgr. Nasalli- -Rocca: the honor
chaplains and participants wearing
purple capes; the choir of the ponti.,
fical chapel, and the entire Pontifical
household in multi-colored uniforms,
including the 'penitentiari" of St.

Party Leaders Disagree On
Sources of Reuenue for Bonus

Senator Reed Smoot, Utah. one ol
the two representatives of the Fl,
nance Committee at the conference
of Senate and House members yes
terday, and who later attended the
conference with President Harding
Saturday night, is opposed generally
to the levying of additional taxes
on business.
Business has gone about as far as
it can go in paving taxes" said
Senator Smoot. Whether it be an
increased tax on capital stock trans
fers or something else, business feels
that it cannot stand it and is pro
testing to the Finance and Ways and
Means Committee.
"There can be no revival of bust
ness so long as We pile up additional
taxes on it. If business does not re
vive there will continue lack of en-
ployment. One cannot expect unem-
ployment to end If business is haras-
sed by additional taxes at this par
ticular time.
"Mv idea is, and | am hopeful that
it will be accepted. that we should
issue short time bonds for the sold
ier bonus. such bonds for the soldier
bonus, such bonds carving the privi
lege Of recall by the Government. J
am hopeful that this NAV be the So
luton Of the present disagreement:
between the Senate and House As
to the capital stock transfer tax. ]
am sure that if it is approved even.
tually, which ] doubt, it will not be
on the House terms and will not rep
resent such an increase over present
rates as was at first suggested. !
am aware of the comnaints which
have come from New York and else.
where that the proposed levies would
practically end all stock transfers
because sometimes the tax would
exceed the value Of stocks that are
selling at practically nothing. such
as one or two cents per share.
Practically every taxation scheme
today before Congress to nay the
soldier bonus has brought its avail.
anche of protests upon the members
of the Senate and House committees
in charge of the legislation. The
way out may be the Smoot plan,
which calls for the issuanc" of bonds.
and this seemed today a fairly good
compromise prediction.

Eve of Conference Today
Finds All Plans In
Confusion
OPPOSE HOUSE PLAN
Stock Transfer Tax Probably viii be
Dropped-Senat0r Smoot Offers So
luton

Washington, Feb. 13.-Inability to
reach an agreement after two con-
ferences will again bring together
today majority members of the Sen
ate Committee on Finance, and the
House Committee on Ways and
Means to devise a taxation plan for
payment of the soldier bonus.
Last night there was utter con-
fusion in the plans for financing the
bonus for ex-service men. The eight
way program of the House commit
tee does not appeal to the subcom-
mittee of the Senate Finance
committee of the Senate Finance
Committee, headed by Chairman Nc
Cumber and Senator Smoot.
It now seems reasonably certHin
there will be no radically increased
taxes on transfers of capital stock
and bonds. The House committee
proposal was tax of one tenth of ]
per cent on all stock transfers, wheth
er original or subsequent in change
of ownership The present tax is
only one twentieth Of per cent. ir
case of original transfers, and one
fiftieth of per cent, on each sub.
sequent transfer.
However, there were authoritative
indications that the whole scheme
for increased taxes on stock trans
fers would go overheard because Of
Senate opposition to the House sng-
gestion. If there is any change what
soever in these documentary taxes
it will not exceed a doubling of the
present rate, and prospects are there
will be no change whatsoever be-
cause of the protest of business men
throughout the United States.

WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY

Washington, Feb. 13.-It is not de-
MED officially in Washington today
that receipt of a memorandum from
Premier Poincare, of France, asking
a delay of three months in the Genoa
economic conference is responsible for
the holding up of the American reply
to the invitation to participate IN
the conference. lnasmuch as the early
date for the conference was to have
been ostensibly, the chief reason for
Americas decination of the invita-
ton. dispatch Of the reply to the ltal-
ian government has been held up until
there is action on the request of the
French Premier.
The failure of the President to make
public the answer on Genoa is gener-
ally construed here as hopeful sign
for American participation in the
event that the Allied governments do
as expected and accede to Premier
Poincare's request. A conference on
June S would have much more chance
of American participation than on
March S, inasmuch as this government
is not now ready for such a confer
ence, has collected no data and memo
randa in regard to it, and has no
chance to organize force of experts
20 attend.
The speech of Cordall Hull, Demo-
cratic National Chairman, on Friday
night, at meeting Of West Viz
g,nia Democrats at Huntington, West
Va. attacking the work of the arms
conference. has been found peculiar
ly disconccrting TO about twenty five
or thirty Democrats of the Senate
who are expected to vote for most of
he treaties resulting from the con-
ference. While none of the Democrat
ic Senators would care to make any
open comment on the speech of Mr.
Hull. it is realized by vast majority
Of them that such attacks will prove
a liability to the party in view of
the general public satisfaction with
the work of the conference
1t was learned on the highest au-
thority today that despite statements
to the contrary, former President Will
son has never, either by word or deed
done anything TO influence his Demo
cratic friends in the Senate to de-
feat the treaties submitted to that
body by President Harding on Friday.
The former President has held him
self aloof from the contest, feeling
that the country itself would Judge
of the results of the conference with
out his interference in any way in
the fight.
