SENATOR PENROSE
DIES At CAPITOL
PENNSYLVANIA STATESMAN sUC.
cUMRS TO SUDDEN ATTACK
OF HEART.
POWER IN THE SENATE
Entering Senate In 1897, Senator Pen.
rose Soon Became chief Lleuten-
ant Of Quay-shock Knox's
Death Hastened End.

Washington.-Senator Boise Penrose
Of Pennsylvania died here after a brief
illness.
Senator Penrose, who was 81 years
of age, had been complaining for some
days, but it. was stated repeatedly by
his friends that his condition was i'm
proving that he would be able to re-
sumo his duties in the senate this
week. His recent work as chairman of
the finance commission handling tax
and tariff legislation, was a greater
physical hardship, his friends said
than he himself had realized.
Reports from Senator Penrose's
apartments at Wardman Park hotel in
dicated that his condition was not 30
good and physicians were constantly
with him. The first notice of his
death, which occurred at 1880 o'clock,
was telephoned by physician from
his apartment to the hotel desk.
Senator Penrose died, Of pulmonary
thermobosis, as a result of heart fail
ure, DR.. Roy D. Adams, his physician,
announced. DR.. Adams and two nurses
were the only persons in the room
when the end came.
Until a few moments before his
! death, Senator Penrose, his physician
said, was quite comfortable, although
he soon relapsed into unconsclousness,
and it was realized that his condition
was desperate.
Senator Penrose's Illness, after his
recuperation from a long, siege which
kept him away from the senate for
months, started early in the week with
bad cold. There was a change for
the better on Wednesday, but he suf-
fered slight relapse Thursday. De-
spite that, however, he was able to be
up and around his apartment.
The senator's brother, DR.. Charles
Penrose Of Philadelphia, came here to
see him after the first cold attack, but
returned home feeling that the senator
was well on the mend DR.. Adams
was with Senator Penrose most of the
afternoon and throughout the evening.
Senator Penrose occupied large
suite on the, top floor of the hotel, and
1t was said that he was able to look
out over the city the morning before
his condition began to change for the
worse. 1T was said that he was partic-
ularly anxious to recoup his strength
SO that he could return to his duties
this week as chairman OF the finance
committee hearing witnesses on the
tariff bill. ,t

TRIED TO SELL A BOND
Postal Authorities Claim Tip From

ed Securities Several Months
Ago-PaIs Young Men.

New York.-Another $1,O0OO0O mail
robbery has just come to light here.
Ethel Bruce, divorced wife of Abe At
tell, former featherweight champion of
the world and one Of the alleged con-
spirators mentioned in the 1919 worlds
series scandal, was arrested for alter
ing one Of the bonds of a $1,447, 900
mail robbery last July.
Harry Cohen, 26, and Samuel Gold,
rs, who we're found in her I'D street
apartment, were also arrested and
charged with conspiracy. Police charg-
ed both men have long prison records.
Last July $1,477OOO in cancelled se-
curities were stolen from the mails,
according to postal authorities. Thir-
teen 100000 United States bonds and
the rest in Liberty bonds constituted
the registered pouch that was being
sent back to the treasury department
In Washington. The government bonds
and most of the Liberty bonds had
been cancelled by perforation, but
some had been merely marked paid"
in red ink.
According to the story told by gov
ernment agents, Miss Bruce took one
Of the latter bonds and asked deli.
catessen dealer in her neighborhood
to dispose Of it. 1t was recognized al
the bank as the cancelled bond and
the treasury secret service men were
notified. H,
Miss Bruce refused to make any
statement about the bond except that
she had received it from movie ac-
tor" whose. name she would not di
vulge, as seeurfty for $500.
She also said that her two compan-
ions in the apartment knew nothing
of the transaction.
Postal officials said 1t was estab.
lished shortly after the robbery that
someone either in the federal reserve
bank or in the postofflce department
tipped off the thieves who stole the
bonds. .,4I.i

Attell in California in 1916, was held
In $4,000 bail by United States Com

CHANGE IN TAXES
NOW EFFECTIVE
LEVY ON PASSENGER FARES 10
REMOVED FIRST TIME SINCE
THE WAR.
NO SODA WATER TAXES
Excess Profits Repeal, Increase In E%
emption to Those Of Moderate In
comes Are Features Under
New Rule.

Washington. - Changes In federal
taxes voted by congress last month
into full force Monday. Here's how
they will affect you:
When you ride on railroad train
or an inland of coastkiste steamer you
no longer will have to pay the gov.
ernment eight per cent of the amount
of your fare and eight per cent of the
cost OF yorr seat, berth or stateroom.
When you ship freight you will not
be assessed an extra three per cent
OF the coast. Likewise you can send
packages by express or parcel post
without having to give up q war tax"
When you visit the corner drug
store for a bottle Of proprietary medi.
cine, tube of tooth paste, toilet
preparation or the like you will escape
the vexatious stamp taxes.
When you go to a soda fountain you
no longer will find Uncle Sam holding
out his hand for penny on each 10
cents or fraction that you pay the
clerk for drink or q plate Of ice
cream. t', -.
If you want to sport pair Of shoes
costing more than $40 or shirt cost.
ing more than SO you will not have
to lay out a tax. These and all OF
the other so-called luxury taxes on
clothing, as we'll as those on umbrel.
las, parasols, sun shades, picture
frames, trunks, valises, pocketbooks,
etc. go into the discard tomorrow.
II you live in a place that still can
boast of a 10-cent movie show or other
place Of amusement you will not be
assessed a penny tax. II the charge
exceeds 10 cents, however, you will
continue to pay war levy at the pres
ent rates of cent for each 10 cents OF
fraction. ~.
All heads OF families with depend.
ents will get a slight reduction In their
income tax during the new year, the ex.
tent being So for each dependent as q
result Of the increase from 5000 to $40o
in the exemption on account of de.
pendents. .,.
If you are married and your net in.
come in 1921 was $4,000 or less, how.
ever, you will get still further re.
duction in taxes, as the normal ex.
emption for married men in this class
has been increased from $4,000 to
'$2,5OO. Single men are given no ad'
dition exemption and can deduct only
$1,000 from their net income. ''+
Whether you are single or married,
II you made a gain from the sale OF
capital assets, such as a building or
stocks or bonds, you can pay the tax
on this gain at the corporation income
rate Of 1914 per cent, instead Of at the
surtax rate If you so elect.
~ If your income is such as to put you
in the surtax paying class you will pay
In 1922 at the old war rates, but In
1923 you will pay at the new rates,
which become effective at once, and
which provide for some reduction all
along the line, with the maximum at
50 per cent on 100000 instead of Sc
per cent of s1,OOOOO0 or more.

BIG BUSINESS
MAY HELP EUROPE
HUGE ECONOMIC UNION PRoPos
ED IN PARTISAN INTERNA- !.
TIoNAL MEETING.
BACKED BY MILLIONS
Industrial Corporation to Supervise
Trade With Germany and Russia
Suggested by Meeting Of Al
lied Experts.

Paris.-Economic Europe has taken
a new lease on life.
A plan for reconsidering the flnan.
cial systems of suffering nations has
been formulated at an international
meeting of government experts and
big business men.
Chances for acceptance of the plan
by all the nations of Europe and prob
ably the United States appeared ex.
ceedingly favorable.
The general outline OF the new
scheme Is:
First-Creation Of an industrial cor
poration, capitalized at 100000
pounds, to stimulate embarrassed trade
with Germany and Russia.
Second-The corporation Is to be-
backed by an international consortium
organized by private interests but APP
proved by all governments.
Third-Any nation can enter COM
mensurate with its trade and financial
abilities.
The scheme was drawn up at for.
NAL conference Of government repre-.
sentatives and flnanciers from Eng
land, France, Belgium, Italy and Ja'
pan. 1t was advanced by Britain, but
met with approval Of all the delegates.
1t will now be submitted to the
Cannes meeting OF the allies supreme
council for approval.
If 1t Is approved-and there was
every evidence it would be-a Pan
European economic conference will
then be called in February.
At this conference the final plans for
the organization will be made. All
nations will be invited to attend. 1t
will be fashioned after the Washington
disarmament conference.
The scheme is aimed primarily for
the rehabilitation OF Germany and
Russia. The plan is to open the mar
kets Of these two to the entire world.
This, 1t is said, will bolster Germany
and enable her to make her repara-
ton payments to France. France, by
reason Of the trade, will be permitted
to pay her debts, and the ultimate con-
clusion, the delegates believed, would
be a return to normalcy economically.
The plan does not mean that France
will recognize Russia, it is said.
France merely will silently permit
resumption Of trade and no official
diplomatic action toward recognition
of the soviet republic will be taken.
American banks will be asked to
Join in the corporation, and definite
attempt will be made to induce the
United States government to lend its
aid.
