TAX ON RADIO SETS
EMBODIED IN BILL
Measure Now Cannot Be Re-
ported to Senate Before
Middle of Week.

A last minute attack on the reve-
nue. bill, in an all-day session of the
Senate finance committee yesterday,
brought changes in the taxes on radio
sets. jewelry and estates and delayed
a report of the measure to the Senate
until this week
The 10 per cent radio tax was made
applicable to all sets and parts with
out exemption after the committee
earlier in the day had voted to in
crease from SIS to $50 the minimum
price of set on which the tax would
be levied. ...s..- ...... -.
This and the 10 per. cent tax on
mah-jong sets costing more than $5
are the only new taxes carried by the
bill. The taxes are levied on the
manufacturer. The radio tax, Chair
man Smoot declared. would not result
in an increase in the price of sets and
parts to consumers.
Parts Not Specified.
Just what parts will be taxed, how
ever. will be left to the jurisdiction
of the internal revenue bureau, as in
the case of the tax on automobile
parts, Mr.. Smoot said. He figured the
tax would net about $4,000, 900, point
ing out. however, that no accurate
estimates were available.
Practically all of the rate schedules
now have been agreed upon, Mr.,
Smoot said, and he predicted that the
few odds and ends of the bill yet to
be taken up would be agreed upon to-
morrow, so that the bill may be
reported to the Senate by Wednesday.
This, however, will necessarily delay
actual consideration of it by the Sem
ate until the following week.
Meanwhile, Chairman Smoot said,
the soldier bonus bill passed by the
House would be taken up by the COM
mittee. Little time would be neces-
sary for the disposition of this meas
ure, he added. and several republican
members predicted the bonus bill
would be given precedence over the
tax bill on the floor of the Senate.
House Provision Widened.
The House provision opening tax
returns to inspection by congress
sional committees was broadened yes
terday by elimination of a previous
restriction voted by the finance com
mittee, making it possible for the
committees to make public amy
relevant or useful information" OBJ

sturns. The committee had previous

and amount of refunds given to the

By the Associa ted Press.

LILLY, Pa, April 5.-Four men were
killed and thirteen injured when shots
were fired into a crowd of townspeople

here early in the evening. The
Klansmen detrained and held a cere-
mony at field near the town. They
were at the station ready to entrain

Some residents of the town are said
to have played stream of water

PLANS DEEP STUDY
OF EXPERT REPORT
Reparations Committee
Wants to Allow Plenty Time
for World Reaction.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the AEGOc1tte0 trcSz.
PARIS, April 5.--"Possibly Mon
day, probably Tuesday, in any case
Wednesday at the latest is the re-
vised forecast for the submission to
the reparation commission of the
long-delayed report of the reparation
experts committee. The combined
difficulties Of editing the French and
English texts SO that they will mean
the same thing and not lend them
selves to contrary interpr citations, and
the natural difficulty facing the
French national printing bureau in
turning out letter-perfect, fool-proof
English texts, again has set back the
members of the drafting committee,
who are anxious to get away from
Paris and seek a well earned respite
on the Riviera and in Italy, Corsica
and even Elba.
VIII Avert Confusion
The experts are determined that no
such confusion shall arise over their
report as arose in the case of the
Versailles treaty, in which the French
notable instances SO as TO permit
widely divergent interpretations. As
an instance of this divergency will
be recalled the famous provision re-
garding the Monroe doctrine, which
was eminently satisfactory to the
United States in the English version.
but in French lent itself virtually to
an opposed thesis
From the best authorities in rep
afations and diplomatic circles, il is
learned that the reparation commit
tee will not be likely to hurry in dis
cussing the report of framing reso-
lutions to. submit to the allied gov
ernments, because it is desirous above
all things of leaving plenty of time
for the reaction of world opinion.

reach Paris.
. The commission then will, after a
brief deliberation, refer the text to
the allies for an attempt at final set
tlement. Therefore, the next con-
structive, forward move can hardly
be expected before the end of the

The French foreign office has reit-
Grated its willingness to accept the
report wholeheartedly as far as it
has hitherto become known in its
general outlines, particularly in view
of the fact that it will be a unani-
nous conclusion and bear the sigma
lures of impartial American experts.
The British are now inclined to be-
lieve that the French will desire a.
speedy sunmoning of the interallied
conference, at which they will raise
the question of the interal1ied debts
at the same time as the reparations
from Germany. Nevertheless thew
voice the belief that France will not
be entirely disappointed if the onus
of rejecting a settlement is thrown
on Germany.
The British readily admit that they
do not consider the report to be per-
feet, so far as its provisions have
become known, but they concede that
it is the best that can be done in the
way of compromise agreement and
Tor that reason hope for the speeding,
up of interallied conference project
some time after April Is.

Senator Wheeler. democrat, Mon

promised that before the end of

stand to testify concerning the record
matter of antitrust law enforcement,
which is as yet one of the few fields
of inquiry upon which the committee

voted, however, according to present
plans, to the taking of additional evil
dence bearing upon Indian land cases

that antitrust cases would be taken
up, 1t was learned that the commit
into transactions by former Attorney
General DaugherIy touching upon
antitrust decisions against the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
road. No indication of what the COM

ments made public by Guy d. Con,
former assistant attorney general,

place 'for a showdown will be on the
witness stand, and not in gratuitous
statements issued at long range by
ex-employes of the department under

lines were disregarded in the notifi-
cation ceremony of Charles w. Bryan,
brother Of the anti-Darwinian ex-
ponent of Ku Kluxism, and candidate
for vice-president of the United States
on the Republican ticket.
There is a growing belief among the
capitalist politicians that the elections
will not give either one Of the pres
idential candidates majority of the

lection OF president into the House.
Should the fortunes of politics throw
Bryan into the White House farsighted
politicians,-farsighted so far as their
general interests are concerned-deem
it the better part of valor to be on
friendly terms with Bryan who would
probably get the LaFollette vote.
There being no outstanding issue
between the Republicans and Demo
Gratis except the very elusive specula-
tion as to which party contains the
most finished gang Of crooks, there is
no reason why nomination ceremonies
should not be non-partisan.
In fact there is no good reason why
