2O3 MILLIONS
Topped Off IN
TAX MEASURE
Reduction Bill Now Is Up
to Coolidge, After
Long Debate.
BIZ Tnitcd PrcSS

BIZ UHttCd Press
WASHINGTON, May 22.-Federal
taxpayers will save approximately
$2O3, 100000 annually if the House
accepts the revenue bill it received
today from the Senate and Presi-
dent Collidge signs the measure.
The bill passed the Senate late
last night, carrying substantially the
sum recommended by the finance
committee on the basis of Treasury
Department estimates. 1t had been
debated more than three weeks
AS originally passed by the House
last December, the bill provided for
$3.50 100000 tax cut, but Senate
amendments reduced the total about
$86,000000. The original and the
amended bills now go to conference
for adjustment of differences.
The Senate measure is expected TO
prevail, however, since it is based
on March Is tax returns, unknown
when the House passed the first bill,
and because it is understood to have
Administration approval
Principal provisions of the Sem
ate bill are;
l. Reduction of the tax rate on
corporation incomes from 1872 to
1919 per cent and increased exemp-
ton from $4,000 to $4,000. Total
reduction. $94000,000.
2. Downward revision of surtax
rates on individual incomes Of from
$4,000 to 100000 a year. Total re-
duction, $25,0OO,OOO
g. Repeal of the 3 per cent auto
mobile excise tax. Total reduction,
$66, 100000
4. Increased exemption on admis-
sions except to prize fights, from
IS cents to SO. Total reduction,
$17000,0O0.
5. Complete publicity for income
tax returns.
Agreement Is Expected
Leader Tilson Of the house and
Chairman Hawley of the Ways and
Means Committee, which drafted
the original tax measure, expressed
confidence that the conferees will
reach agreement.
Tilson said he opposes the income
tax publicity provision, but believes
this will be eliminated in confer
ence
Hawley said House conferees will
study the bill carefully today be-
fore the formal conference begins,
probably tomorrow.

Museums Wage Dispute
 Over Queens Heart

NANTES, France, May 25-Dis- puted possession of queens heart has started feud between the scholarly curators of the mu- seums of the city of Nantes and the Loire Inferieur.
 It is heart of gold, containing, supposedly, the vital organ of Anne of Brittany, Queen of France, born in Nantes in 1477 She willed it to the city of her birth, in medieval fashion.
 The quarrel arises over which museum most truly represents Nantes. the capital city or the de- partment of Loire Inferieur.
 There are many examples of great and near great French men and women who are separated from their hearts in their last rest Often, as in Anne's case, the heart was returned to the city of childhood. Sometimes, as in the case of St. Louis, king of France, the heart is buried in noly ground The heart of Rich ard the Lion Hearted is buried at Rouen.

srp { q This " t,se story of the Brothers Fisher-a round half dozen of them-a fam fly of American industry that laid the foundation in a country black smith shop for it's present fabul- ous fortune.
 The Fisher name rolls along the streets of the universe on mo- tor car bodies, but the tale of how the six sons of Lawrence Fisher, wagon maker and black smith of Norwalk, Ohio, put it there is a story almost untold be- cause of a reluctance of the Fish CT brothers to receive personal attention.
 Fred J., Charles E. and William A. Fisher, the three elder broth CTS, count their personal wealth at from $15,O00,O0O to $20,000, 900 each. Lawrence P, Edward F. and Alfred J., estimate their as sets at a comfortable number of millions.
 Like the sons of poor men and princes in story books, the Fish CT brothers began a little more than a score of years ago to leave the parental home to seek their fortunes.
 One would carve a niche, an other would come on to take a place by the side of the first one, and thus they made their way to- gether.
 In 1902 Fred Fisher camef to Detroit, where his uncle, Albert Fisher, had been building carri age bodies for several years. He had worked with the Wilson Body company for year when Charles w. Fisher joined him.
 Fred and Charles then develop ed the idea that was to revolu tionize the body building indus try-quantity production of inter changeable parts from set oi patterns.
 In 1908 the Fisher Body com pany was organized with S50,00( capital. Albert Fisher was the first president, but the brothers soon bought him out. As a Fish CT boy got old enough to leave
