BIDD[E DEAF 4.
IS BATTLING
OFFICIALS
Husband of Rich Society
Woman Is Silent to All
Inquiries
BY international News Service

Los ANGELES, Oct. 19.-Thirty-
six hours after she was found dead
in her lavishly furnished Los
Angeles apartment, police and
District Attorney office investi-
gators had failed today to determine
the cause of the death Of Mrs. Craig
Biddle. society leader and member
Of one of Philadelphia's wealthiest
and most prominent families.
Indications that the wealthy
woman might have died from the
effects of an alcoholic drink were
uncovered in a post-mortem exam
ination of Mrs. Biddle's body. County
Autopsy Surgeon Wagner, who per-
formed an autopsy, declared today.
chemical analysis of the
woman's vital organs and the con
tents of the stomach was to be
made today, when final decision was
expected in the investigation.
Marks On Body
Deputy District Attorney Harold
L. Davis, who ordered the chemical
analysis said Doctor Wagner has as
yC uncovered no indica tions that
Mrs. Biddle had died of heart
disease.
Some evidence, he said, was
present leading to the belief Mrs.
BiddIe's death might be assigned
to unusual circumstances although
he was inclined to think death was
due to natural causes.
Special attention of the inVeStiga-
tors was being given to marks ard
slight bruises On the woman's throat.
These may have been caused by her
own hands as she grasped her
throat when she gasped her final
breath.
Craig Biddle, the society leaders
husband, continued his reluctance to
discuss the mystery death, merely
stating he had absolutely nothing
to- say"
Husband EStranged
The dead woman's millionaire hus.
hand had not lived with her for
about four months. He had made
his home at hotel, and Mrs. Biddle
lived at the fashionable apartment
| where her body was found late Sat.
| urday by maids.
Should chemical analysis disclose
| traces Of poison or any unusual .ir.
cumstances. an inquest will be or
dered. IL was officially stated The
inquest will. if ordered, probably lie
held Tuesday.

BA I Tie IS
ON OVER
TAXES
WAYS and Means Committee
OPENS SessionsMeIion TO
Be Heard First

& q Z
Six weeks in advance of the
lopening of Congress, the powerful
Ways and Means Committee Of
the House, under the chairman
ship of Congressman William r.
Green (Rep.) Of Iowa today began
the task of framing the new reve-
nue. bill in the hope of having
a measure ready for the attention
of Congress Immediately upon its
assembly in December. BY COM
mon consent, tax reduction is to
have the right of way over all
other legislation in the session
ahead.
Weeks of political skirmishing,
and not a little real fighting,
must be gone through with before
the committee can hope to bring
out a bill that will command
enough support to assure passage.
Matters at Issue
After a short organization meet
ing, the committee recessed until
this afternoon, calling for Secretary
Mellon as the first witness.
Green announced that two weeks
would be devoted 20 hearings, most
of this time being given over to
representatives of business AMI in
dustrial orga nizations all over the
country. The committee hopes to
have the new tax bill ready on the
first or second day after Congress
convenes.
Democrats on the committee
pledged their aid to carry out this
program.
The committee is sitting without
authority from Congress, and the
House will have TO approve the
committees membership before the
revenue bill can lie submitted.
The fighting will be concentrated
principally around the following:
1.-The size of the tax reduction
from the Treasury standpoint. Sec
rotary Of the Treasury Mellon does
not believe the cut should exceed
$3.50 ,000, 900. or at most $500, O00, 900.
AS opposed to this figure. Demo
cratic leaders believe cut of at
least $500 900, 900 is feasible.
ILLUMINATION of some 1000 900
taxpayers from the Treasury fists.
through raising the exemptions to
$4,000 for single men and 5000 for
married men This is Democratic
proposal, sponsored by Congressman
Garner of Texas and Congressman
Garrett of Tennessee, and is
staunchly opposed by Secretary
Mellon.
3--The Mellon Coolidge proposal
to abolish entirely the Federal tax
on inheritances. This PROPOSAL is
opposed by the Democrats and
many Republicans.
Other Minor Contests
There are "A number Of other
contested features Of the 1925 tax
reduction, but most OF them are
related, directly or Indirectly, to
the foregoing proposals.
The Democrats intend to contend
vigorously for tax cut twice as
large as Secretary Mellon recon-.
mends. TO accomplish this, the
Democrats maintain that the time
for extinguishing the public debt
of the United States, now $40
900 ,000, 900. should be extended to
sIXty-t.So years-tne life of the for
eign debt payments to the Treas
ury. Melons present program calls

FREED BY
COURT
Lieut.. Mcdonnell Placed on
Probation After Few Days
Stay in Jail ].

Admitting that he realized the
seriousness of his offense, Lieu
tenant John Mcdonnell, of the
Army Air Service, was released
from Jail today by Judge John p.
Mcmahon, who had sentenced Nc
Donnell to serve thirty days in
Jail for leaving after colliding.
He was placed on probation for
one year.
Mcdonnell was arrested last
week after he had collided with
the automobile of Rear Admiral
Bronson, retired, and had speeded
away after he thought that little
damage had been done. He was
arrested after a taxi driver took
his number and pleaded guilty
when arragined in court Thursday
night.
Thought He Was in Right
His defense was that he had the
right Of way and that he thought
he was doing the driver nf The
other machine a favor when he did
not stop and place charges against
him.
Major Peake, superintendent of
the District Jail, personally brought
Mcdonnell to court in his own ma
chine today and turned him over
to deputy United States marshal.
When arraigned, Judge Mcmahon
reopened the case and produced an
automobile mechanic to testify as
to the amount of damage done to
the admiraHs car The car was
disabled and had to be towed to
the garage, this mechanic said.
Total damages would run between
$500 and $3.50 since huh was
broken, rear bumper demolished.
the transmission case wrecked the
drive shaft bent, Speedometer drive
gear broken, rear axle shaft
wrenched out of line, and one OF
the connecting rods bent
Gives Him Another Chance
II just want to show YOU" Judge
Mcmahon said. that you were not
made an example of. MANY others
have received heavier jail sentences
Tor the same offense, and it is only
because l do not think YOU realized
the seriousness of the offense and
the amount of damage done that |
am willing to suspend further execu.
ton Of your sentence and place you
on prOba alton
plea by Ma jOr Clayton r. Emi..
McDonnelIs counsel, that the sus-
pension of the sentence date from
the beginning Of the Jail term, in
order that he be cleared on the
records of the War Department and
escape military trial and possibly
dishOnOrabl" discharge was
ignored by the court.
