TRAMMELL ATTACKS
BIG STOCK DIVIDENDS

Ascribing recent stock dividend
declarations by large corporations to
a desire to evade federal taxation.
Senator Trammell, democrat, Florida,
declared in the Senate today that
such evasion is indefensible."
IF we are so hedged about by con-
stitutional provisions as to permit an
avenue of escape in the matter of
taxation to large and rich corpora
noontions," declared Senator Tramwell,
then it is about time we were
amending the Constitution to close
that way of escape"
Senator Trammell based his COM
ment on a provision in the pending
deficiency bill appropriating $4,000
900 for tax refunds, largely growing
out of the Supreme Court of the
United States decision declaring stock
dividends non-taxaple.
Senator Smith, democrat, South
Carolina, asked Senator Warren.

WONDERFUL COOK
MAY Be DEPORTED
Millionaire Says Her Culinary
Talents Are Necessary
to His Health.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MUSKEGON, Mich, January s.
Eugene Meurer, millionaire paper
manufacturer, was planning today to
fight threatened deportation proceed
ings which would deprive him again
of his cook, Miss Margaret Wasser-
man, forty-two years old.
Miss Wasserman, whose culinary
talents Meurer declared were essential
to his health, was arrested here last
night on instructions of immigration
authorities, who allege she entered
the United States last year in viola
tion of the federal statutes.
She was taken to the county jail
and released on bond of $1,000 fur
niShed by Meurer. She then return
ed to the Meurer home.
The presence of Miss Wasserman in
the Meurer home was the cause of a
controversy between Meurer and his
family, eliminating finally In d.
vorce. In property settlement at
the time Meurer gave his wife $4,000
and announced he had awarded Miss
Wasserman $4,000 as a reward for
her services.
Miss Wasserman's arrest last night
is said to have been based on an af-
fidavit made in New York December
6 by Mrs. Walter Voith. daughter
of Meurer's. in which she alleged Miss
Wasserman's position in the house
hold was not strictly that of a cook
that she was German citizen and
that she had made statements derog-
atory to the United States.
Miss Wasserman came from Ger
many to take her place in the Meurer
household several years ago after
Mrs Meurer had returned to that
country to visit her two daughters
who lived there.
Robert Merrewether, United States
| immigration inspector at Port Huron,
Mich, who caused Miss Wasserman'
arrest, announced that deportation
| proceedings would be started against
her.

SOUTHINGTON MAN DIES
FROM EFFECTS OF BEATING
Samuel Malleano and Alfred kabish
Held without Bail Pending
Autopsy
Especial to The Herald),

Southington, July 26.-Frank Pier
otti, "a years old, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Pierotti Of this town, died last
evening at the Meriden hospital fol-
lowing an assault committed on July
/, by a number of young men who, 1t
Ia alleged, were engaged In a crap
game in the Milldale Park section OF
the town. Samuel Malleano, age 80
years, and Alfred Kabish, age II
years, were both arrested at the point
of revolvers by Officers Thomas Muir
ply and Timothy ]. Foley. and are
being held on a technical charge Of
assault, for trial In the town court.
The police claim that both the men,
now under arrest, committed the as
sault on Pierotti, which later led to
his death. They say that the victim
made an ante-mortem statement in
which he accused the two men of
jumping on him and beating him up.
Since the condition of the victim
became serious. the police have had
the case under investigation, and upon
Pierottis death, they Immediately
seized the two. They plan to hold
them until instructions are received
from the county coroner. Whether
they will be held on more serious
charges than assault rests on an au-
topsy which Is being performed today
by Medical Examiner e. T. Bradstreet
In Meriden.
Malleano, one Of the two under ar
rest, has a police record Of having
been convicted in December 1915 Of
concealed weapons and this
was the reason that the officers ar
rested the men with drawn guns. Be-
cause the death occurred in Meriden,
New Haven county, the medical ex.
aminer will report to Coroner Eli Mix
Of New Haven, but any criminal pro-
,eduro. will be transferred to the
Of Hartford county. Both
men are being held without bail.

SCHOOL BRUTALITY
INQUIRY ORDERED
Death Of Chicago Boy From Al
legged Beating to Be Probed

Chicago, July 28. - Chief Justice
Mckinley of the criminal courts has
been petitioned to make thorough
investigation of the brutalities in the
Parental school. with the ultimate OBJ
ject of submitting the matter. to the
grand jury. Mayor Dever said he had
called in President Moderwell of the
board OF education.
HE Is making an investigation and
I can assure everybody justice will be
DONE" said the mayor.
One of the peculiar facts of discip-
line In the school is punishment ad-
ministered by the boys themselves up
on companions at the request of the
officials. William Bartonek, IA, testt-
fed before the aldermanic committee
he witnessed the beating of OrWlle
Vardaman, Is, who died from the
abuse.
Vardaman had run away, and
when brought back, instructors had a
dozen boys all prepared for the as
sault. The boy had no chance for his
life. This affair will go before the
grand Jury. The aldermen will con-
tinue the investigation Friday.
Insanitary conditions, solitary con-
finement for boys not yet in their
teens near starvation, disciplinary ex-
ercises carried to point Of exhaus-
ton and inconsistencies. and lack of
bed clothing In winter are a few of
the charges made against the institu-
ton.
Mrs. Frances Patchek, 3258 South
street, testified that her IS
year old boy. who was graduated from
grammar school at the age Of ~, had
had his head bumped against a wall
30 often by a school employe that his
brain Is now affected. She added that
parents of the boy inmates are not
permitted to talk to other parents WIS.,
ting the institution.
James Schmiek, ia South Loomis |
street, said his brother "Laddie," is
reported to have escaped, but he fears
he Is dead because nothing has been
heard of him.

Mr.. Watson said that he expected

ers. Today he is expected to see Sem

ator Cameron of Arizona, and prob
ably Senator Moses. His attitude of
hopefulness for the future is in con-
trast with that of Senator Moses. who

McKellar Finds Democrats Strong.
Senator Mcclellan declared that the
controlling issues in the campaign of
1924 would be high taxes, high tariff
and high freight rates. The world
court, he said, would not be an issue,
and prohibition would not be an is
sue of major importance. He de-
clined to prophesy as to who might
be the democratic nominee for the
presidency, but said that at present
McAdoo seemed to have the inside
track" in Tennessee.
The democratic party" said Sem
ator Mcclellan, was never in so ia
vorable a position, so far as future
prospects are concerned, as it is in
today. We are stronger in the east
than we have been in years, and we
are holding our own in the so-called
doubtful states Of the. west. On the
other hand the republicans admit
their desperate plight In the western
states and privately, l am sure,
would admit that they are going
down grade in the east"
Senator Mcclellan said that he
doubted If Governor Smith of New
York had chance for the nomina-
ton. because, In his opinion, the
governor was too pronounced a wet.
Governor Smith," he said, lis one
OF the most fascinating figures in
American life today, and would be an
attractive candidate for any office,
but his position on the prohibition
question eliminates him so far as the
presidential nomination is concerned. |
At least that Is the way it. looks to

said Mr.. Clark. THE consumers de-
mands on the dealers have emptied
the dealers bins. The dealers de-
mands on the wholesalers have used
up the supply of the wholesalers and
the demands of the latter have clean
ed away the supply on top Of the
ground at the mines. There are, how
yer, $4,000 men engaged In mining
Anthracite, and they are mining as
many tons a week right now as they
did during the rush period OF the
war;"
President Clark derided the sugges-
ton printed yesterday, of having
President Harding insist on three
shifts working at the mines. If neces-
sary, 10 get out more coal.
He said further that he is frankly
of the opinion there will be no coal
strike in the fall, although there may
be a shutdown at the mines for day
or two He also says that this talk of
coal running to s25 a ton is all
wrong, because before coal could
reach such price there would be no
coal at any price.
There Is nobody who knows what
is going to happen at Atlantic City,"
he said. II haven't any idea that we
shall know definitely what they will
do for some time to come. ! believe
the coal miners and operators are go
ing to get together. That is my opin-
ion. If they get together on the wage
scale I doubt very much If the other
questions will stand in the way of an
agreement.
Public Opinion
THE miners and operators agree
ment doesn't expire until Aug. 81.
Labor leaders know that public opin-
ion Is not in favor of a strike. There
have been a few petty strikes and
near strikes in some of the districts
where the radical elements works, but
these were soon settled.
"In one of these districts last week
one of the big labor leaders got in
there and soon put stop to petty
strike, ordering the men bar to work.
In another case 5000 me ere going
out the next day, but . leader
stopped them. When 20 1st Of
September comes there may be day
or two shutdown. The men may get
an increase In wages, but we don't
know that. Nobody knows.
I'm the natural course OF events,
under normal conditions, there would
be an advance In price owing to the
increase In cost. That hasn't any
thing to do with the labor situation,
however. Frankly. I don't think we
are going to have any strike.
The price of stove, nut and egg coal
was advanced 80 cents a ton in Bos-
ton last week. Tho market price
now for that commodity In $3.50 a
ton. Pea coal IL still at t13, while
coal is 50 ton. The
price last named shows a reduction.

defense In days long past, arc to be
turned into parks. These islands were
built by the government and guarded
the entrances to Toxic and 6hinasa-

in later years the guns with which the
