Swaton, Typhoon Stricken,
Grimly Buries Its Dead;
$4,000 Bodies Recovered

HONG KONG, Aug. 8.-Typhoon
stricken Swallow, a mangled and miser-
able caricature of the port of a week
ago. doggedly goes about the first
CHASTITY task that falls to the survivor
of the storm-burial of the dead.
Bodies of $4,000 have been recover
ed a death toll that triples former es-
Inmates and cuts in half the former
population of the native city. These
figures were given in circular issued
by the Swallow chamber of commerce
from its branch in Hong Kong.
Rude collins have been hammered
together with lumber salvaged from
the wreck of the city But these can
not be knocked together fast enough
to dispose of bodies which are a sani-
tary menace. Gunnysacks and mat
tress bags have been made into crude
shrouds Graves are hurriedly dug in
the alluvial flats on which the port
was built, that bodies may be inferred
as they are recovered from the wreck
age.
Food Shortage Menace.
Shortage of food may prove another
menace British in Hong Kong already
have sent $4,000 for relief to the Brit
ish consulate Swallow. Rice is being
shipped from the British colony. The
Swallow municipality charitable assoc
iation has organized a relief fund to
which subscriptions are = sing sought.
Benevolent societies in Hong Kong are
uniting in relief measures for the sui
ferers.
Bandits, making grim capital Of the
city's disaster, are reported to have
raided homes and robbed pedestrians
| in the native section. Ghouls sought
to loot the dead, but were promptly
stopped by native police.
Swallow is a heap of ruins. The It'd

NEW SAYS NEW
REVENUE LAW
WILL CUT TAX
Senator Addresses Associated

Special to The Times.

MUNCIE, Ind, Feb. 9.-Federal taxes
will be reduced more than $500, 900, OOC
during 1922 as a result of the new reve-
nue. law enacted by Congress, Senator
Harry S. New, candidate for denomination

change, Dynamo and Advertising clubs
Of Muncie, and was held at the Delaware
Hotel, Clarence Dearth, president of the
Optimist Club, presided.
Senator New reviewed some Of the acts
Of the Sixty Seventh Congress, emphasized
much legislation, beneficial to all classes,
was enacted. He asserted more legisa-
tion Of benefit to the farmer has been en-
acted by this Congress than ANY other
half dozen Congresses III the history of
the Government Speaking of the new
revenue tin, the Senator declared the
measure is a vast Improvement over the
old law
'"There is no such thing as a satisfac-
tory tax law" Senator New said. THE
man who is taxed invariably and nat
urally feels an undue proportion of the
burden is placed on his shoulders. That
Is as true of this revenue bill as it is OF
every other by which it has been preceded
and as it Will be true of every other by
which 1t viii be succeeded. There are
features of II which ! did not approve,
features against which ! voted Had
been charged with the entire response
bility of making IT, it would have differed
in Some essential respects from what it
is, but while this is true, 1t is none the
less true it is a vast improvement over
the old law.
at must be remembered Congress
found itself compelled to raise more than
FOUR billion dollars in revenue. A bill
lion dollars Of this was for interest on
the public debt. A half a billion Of IL
fas for soldier relief. An other billion
and half for the balance in
current needs of carrying on the Gov
eminent Confronted with this situation,
the committees on Ways and Means and
on Finance did the best that could be
done to reduce Federal taxation.
THAT they succeeded fairly we'll, at
least, is evidenced by the fact the reve-
nues for 1927 were seventy millions less
than the revenues raised under the old
law, and il is to he remem bered the new
one was In operation only n brief part Of
1921. The saving for 1922 will be much
more than eight hundred million dollars,
as compared to the revenues raised un-
der the old law"
