Eecretary's Plan to Check
Capital Loss Deductions
Is Turned Down
WITHOUT RECORD VOTE
\ AChairman Smo0t Will Call for
Immediate Reading of Bill
in the Senate Today

WASHINGTON. April 25.-A pro-
posal of Secretary Mellon designed
to check capital loss deductions was
rejected by the senate today without
q record vote.
Loss than a score of senators were
on the floor when this and several
other amendments were acted on
without discussion. Consideration
OF the income tax schedule, the heart
of the measure, was delayed by
agreement among the leaders on
both sides.
Secretary Mellon had estimated
$40, 100000 would be gained annu-
ally by the government through the
capital loss provision, which was
agreed to by the House. The ssn-
ate finance committee opposed 1t be-
cause 1t considered 1t unfair in its
operation.
The House amendment making
gains resulting from the transfer Of
stock dividends in liquidation pro-
oeedings subject to regular income
tax rates rather than the capital
gain tax OF 12h per cent, was re-
jected in favor of the treasury draft
making these gains taxable at 12h
per cent.
AnOLueIi House dfaeIlQIn61L met d
similar fate, the senate rejecting a
proposal to make gains from the sale
\pf stock dividends held for more
than two years subject to regular
income rates rather than the capital
gain tax of 12h per cent. This
change had been made by close
vote in the House.
At the conclusion of speeches yes
terday outlining the views of the Re-
publicans and Democrats on the
measure, Chairman Smoot of the
finance committee announced he
would call for immediate reading Of
the bill today for action on COM
mittee amendments, although gen.
eral debate on the measure had
precedence, All of the controversial
amendments, he said, will be passed
over for later action.
The opening of debate yesterday
brought forward the Mellon income
tax schedule, placed in the bill by
the finance committee and Repub-
licans, as the main point of contro-
versy. with firm stand on the part
of Republican organization leaders
for the treasury rates indicated in
the speech of Chairman Smoot.
Senator Jones, New Mexico, a
Democratic member Of the finance
committee, advanced the Democratic
program, assailing. in addition to
the Mellon income schedule, the
>Gorm of the corporation tax and ad-
Dvocating graduated levy instead or
the flat rate.

IN
BAUER MURDER
True Bill Is Found by Rich
mon Grand Jury Against
Harry Hoffman

NEW YORK. April 25:-The
Richmond county grand jury today
returned an indictment charging
Harry Hoffman, motion picture ma
chine operator, with first degree
murder in connection with the kill
ing of Mrs. Maude c. Bauer on
March 25 last.
Hoffman, who had been held for
a week on short affidavits, was ar
raigned before Judge Tiernan this
forenoon on a charge of attempted
felonious assault brought by Mrs.
Katherine Campbell of Port Rich
mond. He was held in $4,000
bail for trial.
Mrs. Campbell alleged Hoffman
had invited her to ride in his auto
mobile, had driven her to a lonely
spot and then, threatening her with
a revolver, had made improper ad-
vances. This alleged attempted as
sault. the police believe, is similar
to the circumstances leading up to
the shooting of Mrs. Bauer.
Counsel for Hoffman urged an
immediate trial on the attempted
assault indictment but Judge Tier
nan said that a jury could not be
summoned before May 8.
The last of a series of short affi-
davits on which Hoffman has been
held expired today and District At
torney Each has said he would ask
no further delays. One or two ad-
ditional witnesses, however, have
been called.
Detectives have canvassed the
reighborhood in which the murder
was committed in an effort to locate
a person who was said to have seen
a man of Hoffman's description In
an automobile soon after Mrs. Bauer
was last seen alive. No witnesses
as yet have testified seeing Hoffman
anywhere near the scene of the
murder.
James Taylor, manager of the
motion picture theatre at which
Hoffman asserted he was visiting at
the time of the murder, and Loretta
Pfaff. theatre cashier, two of the
seven witnesses examined by the
grand jury yesterday. were said to
have denied seeing Hoffman at the
at that time. Mrs. Lii
liam Levine, Hoffman's first wife who
divorced him several years ago, was
one of the other witnesses.

 D EMEMBER, he is only two years old-he will learn by experience
 that a bad temper and stubborn disposition will not get him very far, if you supply the experience! In other words, you give him what is good for him, when he needs it--and not when he thinks he should have it. He will soon learn that it is useless to waste his energy on paving the air. All of ushad to learn by the trial and error method, supplemented by rewards when we were very, very good, and spankings when we were very, very bad.
 : And keep in mind that the baby needs to be examined physically every once in a while, to be sure that his temper or stubbornness is not due to purely physical causes. Mind and body are not two separate entities they are one and the same. Good training is only half the battle---you need healthy child as well.
 When in doubt--see a doctor, and a good one at that. And one more thing-sometimes babies are bad-tem- pered just because they are hungry even as you and l !!

TALLULAH STREET
 PAVING APPROVED
Appeal By L. K. Bowen Wins
 O. K. Of Commission

l.. K. Bowen "hypnotized". the city commission Tuesday morning and se- cured the passage of a paving resolu- tion in a manner that left the room bewildered.
 , A delegation from the residence area around Birmingham-Southern college asked that the city join the county in paving Tallulah street (the old Area delphia road) beside the college prop erty, making a good road connection for the East Thomas area into Birming- ham. The paved street would connect Eighth avenue with the Bankhead highway that passes through East Thomas.
 It was explained by members of the delegation that the board of revenue was ready to go fifty fifty with the city on the project.
 Mir. Bowen took the floor and deter minedly, but pleasantly, said it was the duty of the city to take the initia- tive; that the road was in the city limits and the people interested were Birmingham taxpayers. f
 Commissioner Dickson reacted to the appeal on the spot, offered the resolu. ton, which was unanimously con cured in, and within three minutes the necessary authority granted and the resolution referred to the proper au. thorities to bring forward an ordinance
