LONDON, Feb. 23.-Hurling her
two little girls from the campanille
of Westminster cathedral 800 feet to
the pavement below, Mrs. Margaret
Davey, an irish woman, leaped to
death after them today. All three
bodies were smashed almost beyond
recognition.
The first intimation Of the triple
tragedy came to passersby when a
child's body came hurting down
from the high tower of the cathe-
dral and thudded into a heap of
broken bones and mangled flesh on
the sidewalk.
While some ran to the victim and
others scattered several women
faintirg at the sight, the body of
another young girl fell a short dis
lance from the first.
Then those near the scene, gazing
aloft to the top of the cathedral
tower. saw Mrs. Davey leap off and
smash upon a curbing. near where
the bodies of her children lay.
Eye witnesses told police that they
saw the woman deliberately lift one
child after the other to the railing
of the campanille and hurl them off.
The girls were Margaret and Kat1-
leen Davey. The mother was an
Irish woman who made her home in
London.
At a late hour tho police had not
discovered a motive for the double
murder and suicide

EFFORT To RESTORE
EXCESS PROFIT TAX
DEFEATED IN HOUSE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The rev.
enue bill withstood successfully all
assaults in the house today the most
determined attack In the form of an
amendment proposing restoration
Of the excess profits tax, being de.
feated 157 to IA.
A stubborn fight for the amend
ment which would have re-enacted
the law repealed in 1921 with slight
ly different rates so prolonged con-
sideration of the measure that lead
ers predicted final vote on it could
not now be expected before the lat.
ter part of next week.
Representative Frear, Republican
insurgent, Wisconsin, submitted the
amendment and was supported in de-
bate by Representative Oldfield,
Democrat, Arkansas. Democrats,
however, divided on the question,
only about half Of those present. vot-
ing with the Republican insurgents
for it. 40
The estate tax section was then
taken up but with another fight i'm.
pending for increase Of these rates,
final consideration Of it was put over
until Monday.
The Frear amendment was sub
jected at the outset to a point of
order by the Republicans who
claimed it was not germane to the
bill, Representative Graham, Repub
lican, Illinois, presiding officer left
settlement of this issue to the house
which had overruled him Thursday
when he declared a proposed amend
ment seeking to tax undistributed
profits was not in order. Again the
Democrats joined with the insur-
gents and voted such an amendment
in order, 14S to Ill.
Republicans, led by Representative
LongWorth and Chairman Green of
the ways and means committee,
then attacked the proposal which
provided for a tax of 10 per cent on
the first 20 per cent of corporation
profits above certain exemptions, the
same allowed in the old claw and so
per cent on profits over that
amount. They declared it unfair,
charging that it would affect small
corporations severely while larger
ones would, be able to avoid it, and
cited argur 00ts of Democratic sec
lOCdIlOS OL Lue treasury against SucD
a tax.
Republicans Divided
Mr. Frear said the tax would
bring in between $100,000,000 and
$200000,000 additional revenue an
nually and argued this would permit
a reduction in the corporation nor
NAL tax from 1919 FER cent to 10
per cent or less.
An amendment to the Frear pro
posal offered by Representative Burt
ness, Republican, North Dakota, to
cut the maximum rate on the ex-
cess profits tax from 50>per cent to
20 per cent was defeated, 128 to 106
before the final vote.
Republicans have divided over
proposals, Of some, including Chair
man Green, to increase the inheri-
lance tax and impose gift tax.
Democrats have indicated they
would support such move and a
fight is expected on this issue Mon

Mills, New York, is expected to
lead the opposition to such a pro-
posal. Representative Celler, Demo

today attacking proposed increases
in the estate tax.
Compromise Fades
Plans of Republican organization
leaders for an attempt they contem-
plate to throw out the Democratic
income rate schedules in the bill
when it comes up for final vote
were further complicated today, by
development which it was feared
might lessen the probabilities of sew
eral insurgent Republicans joining
at that time with the party organiza-
ton on the vote for compromise be-
tween the Mellon and Garner plans.
