garded as a sign Of approaching har-
mony, for Messrs. Larson and Elliott
were soon involved in controversy
which approached an exchange of
personalities. The motion to table
was lost and the reading Of the bill
was concluded.
Mr.. Larson was the author of the
inheritance tax measure of the reg
ular session. This one is somewhat
different and is said to be patterned
after the Wisconsin law. 1t exempts
from taxation only gifts to public
purposes, to churches and schools and
similar bequests. 1t taxes gifts made
within six months of the death of the
decedent as having been made in con-
temptation Of death. The primary
rates Of taxation are: On estates not
exceeding $4,000, left to husband or
wife or Iineal heirs, per cent: to
brother or sister or to wife Of son or
husband OF daughter, per cent;
uncles or aunts or their descendants
per cent: grand uncles or aunts and
their descendants, per cent; to other
more remote relations or to strangers,
per cent.
But these primary rates increase
with the size Of estates as follows:
From $4,000 to $4,000 the primary
rate is increased twice: $4,000 to
100000, three times: 100000 to
$4,000 four times; above 100000,
five times. Thus it is possible for
an estate paying the highest primary
rate of per cent to be taxed rs per
cent, the limit fixed by the bill.
Insurance is likewise taxed and a
plan is offered for determining the
value OF annuities.
Property Of a resident Of the state,
situated outside the state, is not
taxed II there is a law in the state
where it is situated providing for its
taxation.
The only other senate bill Of the
day to which reference has been made
is relief bill offered by Mr.. Lines
appropriating $4,000 for the widow Of
w. w. Layton. an employe of the in
dustrial school. who a few weeks ago
was killed while In the discharge Of
his duties by an inmate. The bill

Beyond Power OF
League Committee
TRepublIcan A. p. Leased Wlrel

PARIS. Feb. 20.--The disarmament
commission of the league of nations
decided today it was unqualified to
prepare a general treaty for the re-
duction or limitation of armaments,
as requested by the last meeting of
the assembly of the league. The
commission decided, however to pro-
ceed with the elaboration of a general
plan of reduction Of armaments, in
accordance with the resolution Of the
assembly.
The committee met In the Luxum-
bourg palace under the presidency of
former Premier Viviani to prepare
for its work in accordance with the
assembly's resolution which besides a
general plan of a treaty on the limi-
tation of armaments, asked the COM
mission to consider the question of
prohibiting the use of poisonous gas
es and prepare for an international
conference on the control of private
manufacture and trade of arms. M.
Viviani declared in short address in
which he briefly summarized the
work of the Washington conference
and pointed out how the results OBJ
tanned there might be supplemented
by the league of nations.

II. A. l.. Fisher for Great Britain;
NJ. Matsuda, representing Japan;
Leon Jouhaux, representing France,
and M. J. Oudegeest, representing
Holland, were the principal repre-
sentatives Of labor at today's meeting.
The commission decided to ask the
council of the league to enlarge the
leagues membership by adding rep
resentatives from Switzerland, Spain,
Poland and one South American
state. Sub committees were ap-
pointed for the collection of statistics
necessary for final conclusions with
regard to private manufacture Of
arms.
A resolution was adopted request
ing the league council to send circu-
lars to all governments asking them
to set forth considerations which
they deemed necessary concerning
the armament requirements for
purely defense. international obliga-
tions and other special conditions
creating exceptional needs and to in
dicate separately what police or other
forces were considered necessary for
the maintenance OF order in their re-
spective interiors;
The various sub committees will

tee will meet again on Thursday.

HOUSE VALUATION
PLAN FAVORED BY
MAJOR|TYLEADERS
LRepubIIean A. P. Leased wire1


WASHINGTON. Feb. 20-Differ-
ences between Republicans of the
senate finance committee and the
house ways and means committee
overa tariff valuation principles were
aired today at three hours secert
conference without any concrete re-
suit. Neither side tonight appeared
hopeful of an early agreement.
The house committeeman, Repre-
sentatives Fordney. Longworth and
Green who would constitute the ma
Jority conferees for the house on any
tariff bills proposed by the senate,
held out strongly at today's confer
ence for the American valuation
principle as written into the house
bill. This was restricted by the sem
ate committeeman. who in under
taking to rewrite the house measure
long ago abandaned that principle.
The conference was asked for by
the senate committee majority. fol-
lowing the declaration Saturday Of
Mr.. Fordney that il the senate sent
back to the house a bill carrying q
foreign valuation basis as tentative
~ agreed upon by senate committee
committee would rewrite the measure
on the basis of American valuation
principle and the house would return
that to the senate.
Chairman McCumber said II was
desirable to bring about an agree
ment between the two committees II
possible before the bill was reported
to the senate, as time probably would
be saved in that way. 1t was explained
that any change in the valuation
principle underlying the. bill would
involve a recasting of most Of the
-ad valoren rates or a rewriting of
a great part of the whole measure.
The discussion behind closed doors
OF the senate committee room was
said to have been heated at times
today, but many of those in attend
ance thought that the frank discus
sion would serve to clear the atmos-
phere and pave the way for some
kind of a compromise. Just now,
however. senators and representa-
tives are so far apart on the ques-
tion that specific compromise plan
has not been seriously considered.
None of those interested were pre-
pared to say how long the inter-
committee conference would delay
the completion OF the tariff. but 1t
was practically certain that the meas
ure would not be ready for the sem
ate before next month. There al
ready has been talk of some two or
three months debate in the senate
and after a final vote there the bill
would have to go to conference.

EDITH KELLY GOULD
CHILLED BY COURT
IN DIVORCE ACTION
[RepubIiean A. p. Leased WIrel

NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-Supreme
Court Justice Mullan today denied
application Of Edith Kelly Gould for
an order vacating the divorce decree
obtained in Paris by Frank j. Gould.
In dismissing the action with $40
costs, the court set forth that the ac-
ton had not been brought in good
faith by the actress and that "the
limit Of her hope is to coerce the de-
fendant."
The decision also denied Mrs. Gould
the right to file an amended reply
containing allegations that assail and
Put in issue the regularity of the
french decree.
Rehearsing the facts leading up to
the French action, Justice Muilan
said that although the plaintiff had
the fullest opportunity "she had not
seen fit &c say a single word in her
defense
1T would be open to the plaintiff"
he continued, ITO assert that the
records OF the French criminal court
were not copied accurately, or to
deny that she had ever committed
adultery. But she has been content
to rest her case upon highly technical
points of law, involving the jurisdic-
tion Of the French courts and the
regularity Of the French divorce pro-
ceedings.
"An innocent woman is not to be
expected to relinquish any rights she
may possess, however technical" JUS
tice Mullan decided, ''but she would
run barefoot over naked swords to
vindicate her honor, assailed as
plaintiffs honor has been assailed.
At least, she would be abnormal II
she failed to avail herself, somehow.
sometime, of the opportunity she has
had here to deny the highly circum-
stantial charges Of her guilt"
Justice Mullan said he was con-
vinced Mrs. Gould merely wisher to
coerce her former husband into 'pur-
chasing the nuisance value she pos
sesses," and that the action is not
made in good faith, and the plaintiff
has not a meritorious cause"

This constituted a solemn and

said, adding that ii il was violated

ance Of the Ford proposal, the cor
poration would reluctantly instruct
its attorneys to resist such action
in the courts. He asserted emphat-
ically that a decision by the govern
ment TO disregard the agreement
would reduce the standard of busi-
ness morality to a lower degree than
ever had been approached by a pri-
vate concern.
Mr.. Hammit declared the proposal
TO give the plant TO a man who
did nothing to develop it, and in ad-
dition, give him the cheapest water
power on the American continent"
would be a violation of the govern
ment's pledge TO the Air Nitrates
corporation, which he declared had
placed its every facility including
its patents and secret processes for
nitrate production at the disposal of
the country when the war needs were
greatest.
The witness also explained that

"All we asked for the use of the
patents and processes said Mr.
Hammitt, was the right to buy the
property If the government decided
TO sell them after the emergency.
That was a necessary protection to
ask as they represented our greatest
assets and we were anxious they
should not be made available TO a

PROBE Of CHEMICAL

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. - The

some of them government or former
government officials, be called to
testify.
The day was devoted largely to
statements by Mr.. King and Senator
Frelinghuysen, Republican of New
Jersey, whose amendment to the res
olution has broadened 1t to include
importers as well as American
manufacturers.
Mr.. King laid before the commit
tee the names of those who, he said,
should be called and who could give
testimony "evidencary in character"
Mr.. Frelinghuysen, on the other
hand, pleaded with the committee to
make the inquiry an investigation
and not a prosecution"
Mr.. King said the committee in adj
dition to examining the witnesses
should obtain records Of their busi-
ness affairs since the end of the war
together with correspondence which
they have had with the government
on the dye embargo in the emergency
tariff law and the handling of repa-
ration dyes which were allotted to the
United States.
Mr.. Frelinghuysen declared that
charges had been made and 1t was
the committees duty to determine
whether a trust really existed. It
was an injustice, he added, to those
whose money was tied up in the bus
mess as well as to the honor Of
the leaders in the inquiry. A ques-
tion of national policy was involved,
he declared.

rRepublican A. p. Leased wIre]


DUBLIN, Feb. 20-The hotels OF
Dublin were crowded tonight with
delegates who tomorrow will attend
the opening of the Ard Fheis. or Ma
tsonal Sim Fein convention.
More than 1000 delegates had ar
rived up to a late hour this evening.
The convention Is expected to have
an important bearing on the efforts
OF Eamon de Valera and his follow
ers to prevent the treaty with the
British government from being car
ried into effect. Mansion house is
expected tomorrow to be the center OF
a momentous assembly. Mr.. de Va
lera, as president OF the Sim Fem
will preside over the deliberations OF
the gathering.
1t is expected that the convention
will last only one day as the executive
committee of the party has recon-
mended that a vote be taken tomor-
row evening at o'clock. 1t has been
recommended that the number OF
speakers on each side of the questions
be limited but the followers Of Mr..
de Valera possibly may disregard the
recommendation.
Elaborate arrangements have been
made for recording the vote but even
II the balloting takes prace at
o'clock the result may not be de-
termined until II o'clock. Therefore
It is considered possible that the rig
ures will not be available until carry
Wednesday morning.
The issue 10 be determined by the
delegates is clearly recognized as be-
ing for and against the treaty. Mr..
de Valera has given notice OF a reso-
luton that the Sim Fein organiza-
tion will continue to adhere to the
spirit and the letter OF the constiu-
ion adopted by the Ard Fheis in 1917
and that accordingly. until interna-
tional recognition of Ireland as an
cured, the aim of the organization
shall be cas- before, to secure that
recognition.
