Treasury Claim That Surtax

CITES MILLIONS HE PAID
UNDER PRESENT RATES
Says Exempted Securities Bought
to Dodge Business, Rather
Than U. S.. Levy.

Secretary Mellon was challenged
today by Senator Couzens. republican,
Michigan, to a joint debate on the
income surtaxes from so per cent to
25 per cent and stopping the issuance
of tax-exempt securities as a means
of diverting capital to productive en-
terprise.
Meantime the House ways and
means committee pressed forward to
complete consideration of the admin
istrative features Of the Mellon tax
bill, SO as to open public hearings on
the tax-reduction provisions next
Monday.
Republican leaders of the House in
dealing with the subject gave further
thought today to the extent to which
the Mellon bill must be modified in
order to command a majority vote in
the House. A conference on this sub
ject was held yesterday, but appar-
emily the leaders got nowhere.
In his letter to Secretary Mellon
tween the Treasury head and the
Senator on INe TAX QueSIlOT-AlE
Couzens declared that the percentage
of tax exempts on the market-s1i,-
1000. .0o0--was so small compared

Cites Treasury Report.
Senator Couzens cited from Treas
ury reports to support his contention
that the receivers of large incomes
are not escaping any such large
amount of surtaxes through the own
ership of tax-exampt securities as
would make 1t desirable for the gov
ernment to lower surtaxes in order
to secure more revenue for itself or
to release capital for business in
vestments."
The Michigan senator declared that
states and municipalities must have
funds from some source for improve

Two unidentified white men miracu-
lously escaped death shortly before
noon today when the large motor
truck in which they were riding was
precipitated thirty-five feet down into

OF Chain bridge. due to the collapse
OF a 16o-foot slngle-span iron bridge

them.

this afternoon, the only clues in pos
session of the Arlington county Off
cials being that the men were hauling
rock dust for the county. The truck
was owned by Joseph II. Nicholson,

girders crashed through the cabin
of the truck and would have un-
doubtedly killed the occupants had
they not jumped<clear in time. The

held by the twisted girder with the
front wheels in the air. Aside from
smashing the. cabin, no other damage
was evident.
Truck Just I'm Front.
One truck similar in size and car
rying two colored men and a load of
rock dust had just crossed the bridge
when a cracking sound was heard.
Following closely was the other
truck, and just as the front wheels
touched the bank the bridge COL
lapsed. carrying down with 1t the
rockdust-laden vehicle.
A sign at the entrance of the bridge
bears the warning that no truck
over three tons should go across. Ac-
cording to Deputy Sheriff r. l.. Beach
of Arlington, the bridge has been
standing at least fifty years. and citi-
Zens of the surrounding country have
been agitating either a new bridge or
the repair of the standing one to

PHILADELPHIA, January 12.-Con-
firmation was had here today that
the suit for s650,O00 against Harry X.
Thaw brought by Frederick Gump,
jr., OF Kansas City, has been pri-
vately settled for less than 100000.
The suit was the result of charges
that Thaw had whipped Gump in a
New York hotel in 1917 and had sub
jected him to gross and savage in
dignities."
So far as can be learned there is no
change in the attitude of Thaw's
family, which is opposed to his being
released from the Pennsylvania Hos
pital for Mental and Nervous Dis
eases. He was committed to this in
stitution by a Philadelphia court at
the time New York authorities were
endeavoring to have him extradited
to New York on the Gump charges.
