SPLIT ON PARTY
LINES SEEN ON
CORPORATE TAX


WASHINGTON, Nov. 28 L9-Over
the protest of the solid democratic
membership, the house ways and
means committee today decided to
make the proposed reduction in the
tax rate of corporation incomes apply
to payments due next March IS. The
vote was Is to 10.
Determination of thS question dis
sosed of the last of a number OF
major issues that have developed
during the drafting of the $236000000
tax reduction bill that the committee
plans to present ta the house shortly
after congress %onvenes next Monday.
Chairman Green said republicans
felt that corporations should receive
the benefit of the proposed cut in
the rate from 13 1-2 to II 1-2 per
cent as soon as possible. He added
that in previous years such reduc-
tionS always had been applied to
payments due the following March.
preventative Garner, of Texas,
ranking democrat on the committee,
contended that corporations already
had included the tax on 1927 earnings
in the sale prices of products and
thereby had passed the tax along TO
the consumer. lie argued that as
taxes due in 1928 were levied against
1927 earnings the proposed reduction
in rates would constitute q bonus
to corporations unless the effective
date was postponed until March, 1929
Garner announced he proposed to
carry to the house floor his fight to
prevent the reform applying to cor
poration incomes for the current year.
The committee also voted reduc-
tion in the tax on insurance company
incomes from II 1-2 to IL IL per
cent and approved a number OF ad
ministrative changes in the present
revenue statute.

HE IS INNOCENT
Man Accused Of Brooklyn Mur.
derS Does Not Weaken

New York, July ~ R}-A phleg-
matte one-time sailor OF 3s today
had successfully withstood since
Sunday an almost continuous bar
rage of questions fired by relays of
detectives who believe him guilty
of hacking to pieces the bodies of
two women in the Brooklyn room
ing house where he was janitor.
And during it all, the suspect.
Ludwig Lee, generally sat unmoved
and calmly protested his innocence.
Once. during respite in the
constant pounding of questions. Lee
was removed to cell. Somewhat
stiff from his long hours in the in
quisitorial chair. his face neverthe-
less bore a smile-a smile seeming
ly of defiance and self-pride in the
strength that enabled him to with
stand the ordeal.
Far more harassed appeared the
detectives even though the twenty
or more who took part in the ques-
tioning worked in frequent relays.
District Attorney Dodd declared
sit doesn't really make much diff
ference" whether he does confess.
Il am confident" he said. that we
have a case plenty strong enough to
convict him now"
The startling series Of discoveries
of parts of the bodies Of the two
women which started Saturday with
finding of a package in Battery Park
containing two dismembered legs,
led yesterday to two more gruesome
discoveries. In packages found in
subway yards and near the Grand
Army plaza were woman's head
and part of a thigh. Both places
are about two miles from the house
in Prospect Place where the muir
ders occurred.

Brownell and in a drain pipe that
had become clogged and caused the
cellar to be flooded. Two saws, two
hammers and an axe lay in the
room. A bloody shirt, believed to
belong to Lee. was found there.
His black hair tousled and his
bullying. brown eyes flashing sud-
denly at times, the accused carpen-
