Washingtonians continue to con-

SHIP OFFICERS FACE
CRIMINAL CHARGES
u. S. Authorities Consider Action
for Sinking of Submarine by
City Of Rome.

With civil proceedings already
under way, the Government has in
structed the United States attorney in
Boston to consider the advisability Of
instituting criminal action against
the officers of the City of Rome,
which collided with and sank the sub
marine S-51.
Navy legal officers said today the
whole case had been placed in De-
partment of Justice hands. There it
was said instruction to investigate
had been sent the district attorney.
Decision as to whether criminal
charges will be brought apparently
rests with him.
The S-51 was sunk Off Block Island
September %. 1925. Six officers and
27 men lost their lives. The material
loss has been estimated at $2,290,952,
despite the fact the ship ultimately
was raised and drydocked in the
Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Senate Resolves to
Speed Up Work on
Tax Cut Measure

Washington, Feb. 4-(AP)-After a
seven hour session today in which 1t
virtually marked time in its consid-
Grafton of the tax reduction bill, the
senate tonight voted 81 to Is to meet
an hour earlier than usual tomorrow
to speed up the work.
Objection to the early session pro-
gram was made by Senator Couzens,
Republican, of Michigan.
Seven Republicans, five Democrats
and one Farmer-Labor voted against
the proposition.
Completing it's first week of work
on the bill, the senate tonight still
faced the most serious rights i'm
pending against provisions reported
by the finance committee. Consider
alton of one of these controversial
questions-repeal of the provision in
the present law allowing publication
of amounts of income tax payments
was begun today. The proposal to
repeal the inheritance tax, the other
controversial point, remains to be
taken up.
The income tax publicity fight be-
gan only a short time before the
days debate ended with an amend
ment by Senator Norris, Republican
Nebraska, to make all income tax re-
turns open to public inspection, the
vehicle for discussion.
The senate agreed to several chang
es in the administrative provision of
the bill as amended by the finance
committee. One Of these would ex-
empt life insurance companies from
the one per cent increase in the II
IL per cent corporation tax already
voted into the bill by the senate.
The exemption was allowed because
the companies could not take advan-
tage of the proposed reveal of the
capital levy.
The senate also voted today to en-
act into law treasury regulations al
lowing installment tax payments on
real estate transactions in which the
profits accrue under the installment
systemand to make this retroactive to
1916.
