HOUSE MEET
To PASS TAX
GUT BILL
Overwhelming Vote As
sured for Measure, De-
clare Its Managers.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Dec. 1S.-
OP)-The $3o5.O00,OO0 tax reduction
bill awaited final passage today in
the House, all of its important rate
reductions providing relief for vir-
tually every favorable tax payer,
having been agreed to in the form
proposed by the ways and means COM
mittee.
Only few of the less controversial
provisions of the non-partisan meas
IRE remained subject to amendments
as the House met an hour early to-
day in the hope Of finally passing it.
Having moved down almost two
score amendments, many aimed at
vital sections of the bill, managers
were confident of an overwhelming
vote for passage, thus sending the
measure to the Senate.
The bill hurdled perhaps its big
gest obstacle yesterday when an
amendment proposing repeal of the
passenger car levy was beaten, 1SS
to %. The bill cuts this tax from
5 to 3 per cent and repeats the levies
on automobile trucks, tires and ac-
cessories. The amendment, proposed
by Representative Rainey, Democrat,
Illinois. was downed after a sharp
two-hour debate.

FAMOUS ELECTROMAGNETIC
MYSTERY Barred AS HOAX

COATESvILLE, Pa, Dec. 1S.-R
The famous Brandemore Telephone
radio" mystery, which for two years
had baffled radio experts was a
hoax in which Earl Davidson, tele-
graph operator of the Reading Com
pany at Brandamore, near here was
involved.
Davidson admitted that he has
made a partial confession and that
incidentally he has lost his job with
the railroad. He declined, however,
to explain the method he adopted to
enable persons to listen in on radio
programs broadcast by stations
throughout this and other continents
merely by 'cking up a telephone re-
ceivcr.
Radio authorities from all parts OF
the country visited Brandamore to
listen in on the telephone line to radio
