Arabs Reported Joining

Paris, November tF) -- A holy
war against the French in Syria
threatens. The Arabs are reported
10 have joined the nichel Drusc
tribesmcn and are prepared to fight
TO the death in crusade against
the mandatory power
Unofficial advices relate that the
rebellious movement is increasing in
strength, and that provisional gov
crnmcnts are being established by
the insurgents in various sections of
the country where they are in cou-
troll. At Damascus it is said a pro-
visional government has been set
up with Ramadan Pasha Ibn Shell
lash as military governor and Mes
sid Bcy Bakry, civil governor.
The French have evacuated the
large fortified camp of Mousseifri,
in the Djebel Druse territory south
Of Susida. The Heita-Damascus
railway has been cut, and the town
of Derat, seven miles south of
Damascus, is in the hands of Druses.
To the north of Damascus large
part of the country Is reported to
be under the control OF the rebels.
The HONS district Is held by them.
The city of HONS is besieged.
The withdrawal of the French
from Mousseifri, according to French
official advices, took place without
incident and was due to a regroup-
ing of the French forces.
Meanwhile Damascus is sorely be-
set. The Djebel Druses still sur
round the already battered city, with
which communication is reported to
have been completely severed by the
cutting of the railway, telephone
and telegraph lines. The Druses at
intervals continue TO fire into the
city. and those of the populace who
are able to do so are fleeing toward
Jerusalem, Alcxandretta Bay and
Aleppo. All street traffic has ceased
and shops arc closed.

Federal Grand Jury InYestisa
ting Alleged Liquor Charges
SECRETARY DENIES WRONG
Federal District attocy However.
Claims that Beer Conhscatcd
Some Time Ago Becomes Strange
iy Impotent.

New York. Nov. 7 P,-Eforts are
being made TO forge a prohibition
paddock for the Elks' club. home OF
the mother lodge Of the order of
which Federal Judge william II.
Atwell. one of Dallas, Texas, is the
national head.
Also Federal District Attorney
Ruckner Is trying to learn why beer
seized as evidence becomes anemic
on the way to the court room.
Judge Alwell, grand exalted ruler
OF the Benevolent and Protective
Order Of Elks, sitting temporarily
on the bench in New York, recently
gave heavy sentences to several per
sons convicted OF violating the Vol
stead act.
Questions Employees
A federal grand jury yesterday
questioned employees about nine
kegs of beer seized October &c in
a truck in front of the club build
ing. The questioning will he con-
tinued Wednesday.
On an analysis last week a sam.
pie proved to be less than one halt
OF one per cent alcohol and the case
was dismissed.
The chief Of my prohibition di-
vision" said Mr.. Buckner, having
previously noticed that analysis of
beer seizures frequently resulted in
reports that the seized liquor was
near beer, directed that new sam
pies be taken OF the beer seized at
the Elks' club. The second sample
showed the beer to contain more
than three per cent alcohol. I want
to find out where these samples
lose their strength"
Refuse to Close
A suggestion that the club sub
nit to a voluntary six months pad
locking was refused by the officials
of the club who said they would
fight the case in the courts.
After the seizure William ].
Phelps, secretary of the club, on
nounced that there could not have
been raid because there was moth
ing In the club to raid for. Mr..
Buckner says that some of the nine
kegs were in a truck in front of the
building and others already hal
been taken in when the city police
conflscatcd the beer.

UNITED SUPPORT
ON TAX MEASURE
Non-Partisan Legislation for
Reduction Of LeVieS
MAY INSPECT RETURNS
But Committee Favors Repeating
Publication of Amount of lndiyid-
uaI Payments-Spirit of Compro-
mise Evident.

Washington, Nov. Pl-PraCtical-
ly united support, both III the house
and in committee, of the tax reduc-
ton bill now in preparation by the
house ways and means committee
an almost unprecedented prospect
is now confidently expected by house
leaders.
Non-Partisan Measure
With virtually all of the vital and
controversial points of tax reduction
already acted upon by the commit
tee, Chairman Green declared today
that a non-partisan measure bear
ing almost unanimous support
seems certain.
For the first time since the war.
republicans and democrats in COM
mittee have worked out their diff
ferences, SO far at least, and agreed
on the main provisions Of a revenue
bill. In doing this the committee
has approved some Of the main pro-
posals of Secretary Mellon and re-
iected others, and the spirit of com
promise was further reflected In the
approval in modified form Of the
proposal of Representative Garner
Of Texas, ranking democrat, for in
creased personal exemptions.
Approval Likely
Administration support OF the
changes so far approved seems GER
tain, despite that Secretary Melons
suggestion for repeal Of the estate
Jr inheritance tax was rejected.
After disposing yesterday OF sew
eral main provisions in the bill, the
committee rested today to give sub
committees opportunity to work out
specific rate schedules on the income
surtax and Inheritance levies.
RepeaIs Agreed Upon
The committee voted yesterday To
repeal the provision for publication
Of income tax returns, to reduce the
maximum inheritance tax from 40
to 20 per cent. with sponding
decrease in the lower brackets, and
to repeal the gift tax, but rejected
proposals to alter the corporation
and capital stock levies.
In cutting the inheritance levy the
committee also voted 10 increase
from 25 to so per cent the credit TO
be allowed In settlements for pay
ments on similar state levies and TO
retain the present exemption OF
$50,0n Under a graduated scale
Of rates to be worked out, the maxi
mum of 90 per cent would apply on
inherifances Of $4,000. 900 and over,
While favoring repeal of the pro
vision for publication OF the amount
OF income tax payments, the COM
mitee voted TO continue publication
Of names and addresses OF all In
come tax payers and TO permit in
spection OF the rsturns by the house
ways and means committee, the SEN
ate finance committee. or any spe-
cially authorized committee of con-
rress.

Secretary Hoover declared today In
an economic review made public as

Contributing Factors
Factors listed by the secretary as
contributing to this condition In

efficient railroad operation, an equit-
able balance of prices as among the
greater producing groups of the
population, and a gradual return to
stable currencies and normal bust
ness operations among the nations
abroad.
Mr., Hoover's review took in the
banking situation, and noted the In
vestment abroad by Americans dur
ing the year ending June 80, 1924, OF
$1,3S2, 1000 and the net gold en-
port from the country OF s115,O00,-

eral stability.
Construction Record
"The greatest volume OF construc-
tion operations on record" was also
proceeding internally in the United
States. representing an investment
for the year of 100000, 900, and
the secretary noted the results as
for the most part well calculated
to meet the permanent and grow
