Calm was rstored, however,

screaming to Garrett, cashier.
The vault, of highly scientific icon
struction, once locked in the even
ing, could not be opened until
$3.50 the next morning. ~
Jacob Rushner, banker, directed
the rescue. He sent IN an aifrni
that brought firemen, police, hos
pital I attaches, a physician and
skilled sworkmen from construc1
ton firms and the electric light
company. In relays, the men gat-
tackled the 1S inch roof of the
vault with drills and torches, the
latter being abandoned as the
first small opening was made, to
save the air inside. Through this
first opening DIR. Irving Neman
placed an oxygen tube and him
self manned oxygen pumps. Kush-
ner dropped a note to the boy
telling him he would soon be out
but the lad was already uncon-
scious near complete suffocatiop.
AS hundreds crowded outside the
bank the rescuers worked desper-
ately. Kushner had an ambu-
lance backed up to the door for
dash to the hospital.
Another hours work and he
lowered himself into the vault
and brought Di Giacomo out.
As. the ,bog'ssparents heard the
cheers of the crowd at the rescue
they 3 collapsed in their home
where they had been persuaded to
stay. Tempton also collapsed. ! J
Di Giacomo's face was bruised
and blackened, his finger nai;s
torn and bleeding as he was car
fried out, evidence of the terror
ghe had gone through before he
lost his senses. His body was
limp and his breathing hardly dis
cernible with medical instruments.

Resolution Proposes Impo-
sition of State AID

TABLE PENSION BILL
New Measure Would Raise
Scholastic Per Capita
Fund to SIS.

Austin, Tex, Feb. 14.-Under the
terms Of House joint resolution, in
troduced by Representatives Patman
and Wallace, proposing an amendment
TO the constitution, the imposition of
n state ad valorem tax against all per-
sons or corporations that pay a spe-
cial tax would be eliminated. This
proposed amendment, however, would
not prevent the imposition of a tax
of 50 cents on the 500 property yalu-
alton for the support of the schools
and the 5-cent Confederate pension
tax.
According to Patman, the amend
ment, if adopted by the people, would
mean the imposition only of a gross
receipts tax of per cent on the
various corporations operated in Tex
as. which would net annually S12,-
100000; to this is added approximate
ly 100000 to be derived from a sew
erance tax, 100000 ordinary Occu-
patton tax, receipts in secretary Of
states department S5,000,000, poll
taxes S2,000,000, depository and mis-
cellaneous revenues 100000, esti-
mated revenue on gasoline tax 81
100000, yielding a total of over ST.
100000 annually, more than suffi-
cient to support the state govern
ment.
The corporations against which only
a gross receipts tax of , per cent would
be levied are: Express companies.
telegraph companies, gas, electric
Light and power companies, collection
agencies, car companies, interurban
and electric, text and law book pub
fishers. telephone companies, refin-
cries, insurance, packing houses. The
amendment would become effective
after January /, 1926.
