and that there was no arrest. As soon
as he ascertained the chauffeur was an
out-of-town man, he was released with
a warming. Mr.. Dye asserted. and there
was no hearing before any officer OF the
law on the case, as indicated In the
complaint to the Senator.
Senator Simmons said today he had

the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. but
did not notice the small sign at the

The Senator was told that they Of

j. S. TAX REFUND
RATE is SPEEDED
$1o6, ,569, 1893 Is Returned by
Government From June | to
December 81, 1928.

BY the Associated Press.
An increase of nearly 30 per cent in
the monthly rate at which tax refunds
have been made by the Treasury is
noted in report published today by the
joint congressional committee on inter-
nal revenue taxation covering the
period from June l to December 81
1928.
The total for the period was placed at
$1O6, $50, ,893, including payments re-
ceived by the Treasury in excess of
amounts due and interest on those sums.
This brought the monthly average up to
SIS, ,224 ,270, as compared with So, ,402, lat
from March /, 1927, to April "a, 1928.
U. S. Steel Receives Largest.
The United States Steel Corporation
and subsidiaries received the largest re-
fund, $15,756, ,595, while more than a
dozen other corporations, including the
Aluminium Co. of America and SubSidi-
aries, obtained settlements in excess of
million dollars each. The Aluminium
Co. refund was 81 ,287, ,426.
The committee found that 80 per cent
of the total settlements involved excess
profits taxation between 1917 and 1921,
that AZ per cent touched the questions
Of invested capital, special assessment
and amortization and that 80 per cent
had to do with 1.-The most troublesome
provisions Of our present revenue act"
requiring valuations which are based
largely on judgment"
The increase in the rate of refund
mert was attributed to "the decision of
the Supreme Court of the United States
in the National Life Insurance Co.
case, the large refund to the United
States Steel Corporation and the drive
Of the Bureau of Internal Revenue to
settle old tax cases."
Individual Refunds Cited.
''In regard to the individual refunds"
the committee asserted, "it appears that
on the whole the action of the COM
shows proper, just and careful handling
in the face of many difficulties"

|CH|CAGO PASSES
LAW ON ICE GAS
Step Taken to Halt Fatalities
Attributed to Mechanical
Refrigerators.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, July 3.-The city of Chi
cago, through DR.. Arnold Kegel, its
health commissioner, took steps today
TO prevent further deaths from poison
gas escaping from mechanical refrigera-
tors.
At the same time DR.. Kegel assured
householders that there was little danger
if they would observe the precaution OF
keeping the room in which the refrig-
orator is placed properly ventilated.
The department of health, which at
tributes at least Is recent Chicago
deaths to poison gases escaping from
mechanical refrigeration systems, has
drafted an ordinance to provide rigid
inspection of all future installations OF
refrigeration.
Large Plants Dangerous.
The chief danger, DR.. Kegel said, is
from ice boxes In large apartment
buildings which operate from a central
plant. The pressure required to serv-
ice the individual ice boxes In these
buildings, the commissioner said, Is such
as to constitute real danger, should
leaks develop. He thought there was
virtually no danger from those ice boxes
having individual ice-making units.
It was DR.. Kegers opinion that faulty
installation was responsible for most
of the deaths.
Spokesman for the refrigerator COM
panieS disagreed with DR.. Kegel and
other physicians concerning the lethal
qualities of methyl chloride gas in the
cooling units. They said experiments
had been conducted showing that guinea
pigs lived for 38 days breathing the gas
without any apparent Ill effects. They
said. too, that many employees Of the
refrigerator companies worked daily
with the gas without harm.
Two Get Better.
Clifford Clarke and his mother, Mrs
Margaret Hennesler, who have been
seriously i'll as a result, physicians said,
of methyl chloride gas poisoning, were
recovering today. Clarke's wife Violet
died Saturday, and q coroner's jury
attributed death to gas escaping from
a mechanical refrigerator in their apart
ment.
