 MIDST OF MIDDLE
Ways and Means Committee Cancels Important Meeting

Washington, Dec. ls.--Republican leaders of the house, who perfected their committee organization yester- day after a delay cf two weeks, en- countered a fresh setback today when they made their first attempt to begin the legislative business of the session. | meeting Of the ways and means committee at which the adninlstra- ton managers had planned to take up the Mellon tax program ahead Of the soldier bonus question. was suddenly cancelled. No date was fixed for an- other meeting but Chairman Groen said hc hoped 10 be in a position 10 call tho members together tomorrow. The republican leaders made no ex- pianation Of the upset in pans, but some of the democrats declared ihe delay was due to a fear that insuf- hcieni votes could Dc mustered behind the proposal to put taxation ahead of the bonus.
 Bonus BiIl Calls.
 Demands for priority tor a bonus ldll have been made both by Repre- ss sentative Rainey Of Illinois. demo- cratic member Of the committee. and by Representative Frear Of Wiscon- sin, a republican member belonging 10 those followers Of Senator LaFol- lette who delayed organization of the house and still are holding the senate in deadlock over the election of chairman of inc interstate commerce committee.
 Whether there was any real pros pect sof a democratic insurgent combi- ration against the administration tax plans was not revealed, but it was ap- r.arent the republican leaders were moving cautiously in the light Of their experiences of the first two weeks of the new congress.
 The threat Of a combination Of forces between democrats and inc in- sureents 10 elect Senator smith Of eouth Carolina, a democrat. chairman Of the senate interstate commerce committee still hung over the senate when fl rcconeened today 10 resume iaitofiua. Some leaders thought i,reat 10 smith might take place to- day. Hurried Conferences.
 The suddcn cancellation of the ways and means committee meeting was rollo~eI by hurried conferences be- tween republicans on the committee suf majority leaders in the house and i, u-as determined that Chairman Green should propose al a meeting to be held probably tomorrow that the committee proceed with the study of inc purely administrative changes in inc tax law recommended by secre- tary Mellon. This. it vas announced. wotfld enable the committee to ascer- tain how much could be saved to the government by amending provisions of the law which now afford loophoIes for rich taxpayers to escape heavy assessments. Such a study probably cOuId be completed shortly after the Christmas recess, and the house then would be in a better position 10 de- terTrfne what should be done about changing tax schedules and about the bonus.

and Smith and his wife were taken into custody by the Binghamton po- lice at the home of Mrs. Smiths par ents.
 Smith took the witness stand in his own defense and said that on the way to Waverly he and his wife decided to dispose of the child rather than tell her parents of it's birth; so she handed the baby to him and he went to a nearby farmhouse to leave it on the porch. He promised her that he would not harm the baby and said that she cried and kissed the wee bit of hu- manity repeatedly before he left.
 AS he approached the porch of the farmhouse a dog started for him. Fearing detection, he ran, stumbled and fell, with the baby under him. Picking up the child again, he contin- ued to run and then discovered the infant had ceased to breathe Fright ened he put the body in the water of nearby creek, with a stone upon it so it wouldn't be carried off by animals, and then returned to the sta tion, advising his wife their original plan had been carried out.

Slayer of Wife's Child Enjoys Indefinite Sus-
 pension Execution

ELMIRA, N, Y, March 13.-Floyd H. Smith, of this city, under sentence of death in Pennsylvania for murder ing his wife's infant child, is having his life prolonged indefinitely by req son of the disinclination of Pennsyl- vania Governors to sign death war rants which their predecessors should have signed but passed on to succeed ing administrations.
 Mrs. Kate Edwards, who killed her husband, not only succeeded in escap- ing the electric chair but ultimately obtained her release from prison be- cause four Governors flatly declined to sign the paper that would send her to her death.
 Weeds Wronged Girl Floyd Smith fell in love with a Binghamton girl and proposed mar riage. Just before the ceremony she confessed to him that she shortly ex- pected to become mother, naming a prominent Binghamton business man the father of her unborn child. Smith decided that his love for the girl was sufficiently great to permit him to condone the mistake, and he prom ised to accept the child as his own. Four months later the young Wo- man became the mother of a son fully matured and perfectly formed Smith signed the birth certificate, in which he stated that he was the baby's father.
 Two weeks later, in 1920, Smith took the wife and baby to their home and for a few days seemed to be de voted to his young wife and her child Then the baby showed indications of illness, and Smith was kept up sev- eral nights by the child's cries. On the following Saturday Smith an nounced that he proposed to take his wife and the child to Binghamton to live. That afternoon they went to the home of Mrs. Smiths parents at Bing- hamtOn.
 Baby's Body Found Sunday morning a resident of South Waverly discovered a bundle of cloth ing in creek and, Investigating, found the body of male infant fully dressed. The child's head was held down by large rock. There were no bruises.
