SHOOT PRESENTS REPORT
Finance Chairman Brings Measure Into Senate But Makes No Com- ment on It's Merits--Proyisions for
 Personal Income Tax Payments

Washington, May aS.--Anticipatory of the action he soon will be called upon to take on the tax bill, Presi- dent Coolidge today began a series of conferences designed 10 provide him with complete information as to the merits and demerits of the measure.
 Two of the leading supporters of the Mellon plan in the house, Rep resentatives Tilson of Connecticut and Mills of New York, republican members of the ways and means committee, discussed the measure with the executive but were unable to venture a prediction as to his probable action.
 Some Features Unsound. The two house members agreed with Secretary Mellon that certain features of the compromise bill were economically unsound.
 If such features become law, they will so change our tax structure that they will remain with us forever" said Representative Mills. "Finsn- cially and economically bad, they nevertheless have popular appeal, and it would be difficult to find a congress with the courage to repeal them"
 Representative Tilson said that in addition 10 the objectionable features, action by the president would be guided by reports from the budget bureau as to prospective expenditures, and from Representative Tilson said that in addition to the objectionable features, action by the president would be guided by reports from the budget bureau as to prospective ex- penditures, and from the treasury as to revenues available under the bill.

PAONESSA SATISFIED
 WITH POLICE BOARD
But He Believes Public Should Have Facts in,
 ROuskie Case

The discharge of Patrolman Thomas J. Rouskis from the police department for conduct unbecoming an officer, is not the objective sought by Mayor A. NJ. paonessa in his re- cent communication with the police commissioners, the mayor explained this morning, but he feels the case has caused so much discussion that the public is entitled to full informa- ton on the subject.
 He said complete report of the hearing held by the discipline com mitte, issued for publication, would satisfy him. If. in the opinion Of tho commissioners, the testimony brought before them by witnesses is such that they believe Patrolman Rouskis has been sufficiently punished with a $50 fine. it is not his plan 10 interfere with the commission and he will ac- cept the Judgment of his appointees.
 If the discipline committee is not in a position Co give out full informa- tion, the mayor believes the case should again be reopened for a pub lie airing and no necessary informa. ton withheld from those interested.
 Commissioners F. A, Parker an T. T. Jackson comprise the discipline committee of tho board. They heard Rouskle and witnesses on both sides of the case, which is one involving an alleged breach Of duty in releasing a couple placed under arrest. and in an alleged attempt 10 profit by his fail- ure to perform his duty.
 Mayor Paonessa today made it em phatic that he has no desire to have Rouskie fired" unless there Is abso- lute proof Of an offense waranting his discharge. He is desirous, however, that the case be cleared up without delay.
 At last nights meeting Of the police commissioners the matter was discus sed. The board was unanimous in its expressions that the disposition al- ready made Of the Rouskie case is the proper one, and it was voted to send a letter to Mayor Paonessa ad- sising him of the fact.
 Asked today if he contemplated any action against the commissioners. the mayor replied that he has no argu- ment with the body. and he re-iterat- ed his oft repeated statement that he has faith in the commissioners judg- ment.

 Let us take our stand for this res olution and make the voice of our church heard around the world" said Dr. David G. Downey of New York city. This report will command the approval of our constituency every where and will hearten the world at large"
 The demand for the constription of wealth and labor in time of war was proposed by Dr. Joseph NJ. Gray Of Scranton, Pa,
 We should demand" he said, that the government which comes into the parsonage and says: I'm going to take your two boys to die in battle shall go Into the offices of the laymen and the Central Labor union and say well take your wealth so that when our bdys are dying for sl day no other man shall be striking for si6 a day"

Chicago, May 2i.--Science today had satisfied the authorities that Robert Franks, l3 year old son of q millionaire, was killed by suffoeation when kidnapped for ransom, and science, too, had pointed the way to Identification of the ownership Of the peculiar spectacles found near the swamp where the body was found in culyert. The spcctacle. are such as are ordinarily worn by woman.
 Coroner Oscar Wolff announced that tho boy was a victim of suffo- cation, after his chemists had found no external cause Of death and no metallic pnispns and concluded that hand or cloth pressed over the lads mouth brought death.
 spcctacles Best Clue,
 The spcetaclos, narrow from temple to temple with comparatively straight bows such as usually are worn by a woman and concaNe lenses intended for street wear by far-sighted per son, were made to order from a pres erlption, Q Chicago optlcian declared. The wcarcr either woman or a man, The optieian believed, is Of nervous, perhaps ncurotic tendency, rather in- tolnctual and temperamental one leading a scdentary life. The ierson. he added, had long rather than round head, with short reach from temples to cars, and narrow frontal. Tho lenses were specially ground.
 Investigations by 5000 Chicago police and detectives, newspapers and family friends, based on few flimsy clues, sought today to pierce the mys- tsry cf the death and kidnapping.
 Death was the only certain fact after hours of inquiry and question: ing with Detective Chief Hughes and Coroner Wolff agreeing that it had moi resulted from a pathological at- tack as was a. first supposed. Other wlsr iilo case assumed the sembance of ptoto-play plot with the princi- pal ChaFacters--ths kidnappers- missing.
 On the theory that the boys death resulted from attempts 10 fight his kidnappcrs, Investigators believed they had supporting clues in pair Of spectaclcs, narrow and horn-rimmed, prescribed for q near-sighted wearer, found near the body; the typewritten ransom demand, written on a small folding typewriter. experts said; and stories that a grey automobile had offered near the school inc day the boy disappeared and that a sedan, bearing q wrthing. burlap covered bundle. was in the neighborhood where the body was found late We'd ncsday.
 Willing Co Spend Million.
 While Chief Hughes asked the help of evcrybody in Chicago who knew any facts or bad ideas regarding inc case, Jacob Franks. father of the boy, voiced an untiring determination 10 find his sons slayers.
 '1m spend sf,000. 900 to solve this crime" he said. Money means noth- inf to me now"
 Mrs. Franks collapsed while being consulted about arrangements for ihe boy's funeral, which has not been definitely fixed.
