ing with 1t many experiences.
So many thrilling events have mark
ed the passage of time since Malcolm
first saw the light of day in Providence
Hospital last year that 1t would be
dificult for him to tell you, even II
he could boast more extensive vocab-
ulary than "Mamma"-"Daddy," Just
what he considered the outstanding
event Of the year. But in all probabili-
ty he would tell you 1t was when he
made his debut in moving pictures
during the past late Summer.
In September, while Malcolm was
visiting relatives Of his daddy with his
mother at Lake Oconomowac, Wis, a
special group of movie men were sent
to take him while actively engaged
at play.

Scenes were ''shot" of Malcolm in an
apple orchard, testing out the strength
OF his seven teeth on one of WiScon-
sins finest apples. Other views showed

OUTRAGE
LAID TO DEAD MAN
Sisters Statement Corrob-
crates Letter to SChaIl Ex-
onerating Mooney.

BY the Associated Press.
BELLAIRE, Ohio, November ga
statement by Mrs. George Monroe, q
resident of the mining section near
here, claiming that her dead brother
was responsible for the 1915 Prepared
ness day bombing in San Francisco m
stead of Tom Mooney, was before
authorities today.
Mrs Monroe said Lewis Smith, her
brother, in a deathbed statement IN
Cleveland seven years ago, CONFESSED
which took the lives of 10 persons
marching in the San Francisco parade.
Her declaration corroborated letter
from Frank o. Stevens, inmate OF the
DAYTON (Ohio) National Military Home,
to Senator Thomas D. Schall OF Min
neSota.
Mooney, now 46, is serving life SEN
tence in California prison. he az
first was sentenced to be hanged, out
Gov. w. D. Stephens committed thus 10
life imprisonment in November, 1913.
Says He Exonerated Mooney.
Mrs. Monroe, located on Stevens in
formation, agreed with his story tnaS
Smith admitted he planted the explo-
sive on the promise of being "well paid.
Smith. however, said he received moth
ing for the outrage. His sister SAID ne
swore that Mooney had nothing 70 40
with the bombing. She DID not press
him for further details, she said, pc
cause she did not wish to become IN
yoIyed In the case, which has attracted
Nationwide attention.
In a statement supplementing MS
letter to Senator Schall, Stevens tolo OF
first becoming interested in the case
when he and Smith worked together IN
a mine at Pipe Greek, Belmont County,
Ohio, in 1919. "Tom Mooney is not do
ing his own time; he is doing some one
else's," Smith said then, according 10
Stevens, but would give no furtner oe-
tails. -,
Later, Stevens recounted, Smith
moved to Wheeling, w. Va, and nnaliy
to Cleveland, where he died July 4, 1922.
Met with Continued Failure.
Stevens met with continued failure in
his efforts to interest others in the pur-
ported confession. Finally, he saw ,., .
magazine article by Senator Schau critl-
Ching the conviction of Mooney, ana
wrote to the Minnesotan at Washing
ton. The Senator turned the letter over
to the Department Of Justice, where IL
was not determined what action would
be taken.
Smiths widow is still living in Cleve-
land, Mrs. Monroe said, but attempts
to locate her were unavailing.
Allegations that Mooney and Warren
X. Billings, a shoe clerk, who also re-
ceived q life sentence for the San Fran
cisco tragedy, were convicted by perjury
and fraud because of their so-called
radical tendencies have kept the case In
the 1imelight for several years. Two ap-
peals to the California Supreme Court
failed and the United States Supreme
Court declined to review the case.

Superior Judge Franklin J. Griffin,

No one has any idea who set on the
bomb, to my knowledge. If it is pos

TAX ASKED
BY REALTY BOARDS
Capital Gains Rate Should
Not Exceed Rate on Cor
porations, Is View.

A reduction in the capital gains rate
of taxation so that the rate on capital
gains will not in any event exceed the
tax rate on corporations is being asked
of Congress by the National Association
of Real Estate Boards. The association
is asking that this reduction be included
in the proposed tax reductions which
Congress has been asked by President
Hoover and Secretary Mellon to make
in the Federal revenue act. A brief
stating the associations position is being
prepared for immediate distribution to
members of Congress. The position OF
the association was taken following a
vote of its board of directors.
The recommendations which the
Secretary of the Treasury has made are
as follows:
(a) A / per cent reduction of the
normal tax so that it will be reduced
on the first $4,000 to u of per cent,
on the second $4,000 to per cent and
on the balance to per cent.
(b) A reduction of the corporation
tax from IL per cent to IL per cent.
According to the statement the total of
this reduction is estimated to be ap-
proximately $160,000,000. It is pro-
posed that this reduction take the
form of a joint resolution.
Action Is Proposed.
With respect to this reduction the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards proposes action as follows:
% To include along with reduc-
ton of the normal rate and of the
corporation rate a reduction of the
capital gain rate so that it will not
exceed in any event the corporation
rate.
(2) To present to the President and
- he
that the capital gain tax be reduced
along with the other income tax rates.
The national association points out
that the capital gain rate was estab-
liShed in 1921 and has had no reduc-
tion since, whereas all other rates have
been reduced substantially-a number
of times. A reduction of the capital
gains rate would tend to promote trade,
increase the revenue and to eliminate
any condition of frozen assets, the
association holds.
Probable Market Effect.
If the capital gains rate had been
lower, it is possible that the recent
crash in the stock market would have
been less severe, the associations brief
will contend.
"It has been stated several times that
much of the heavy selling was due to
the fact that many holders of stock
refrained from selling against their
Judgment because of the heavy tax,
only oftentimes to unload when the
crash came instead of selling in an
orderly way as opportunity occurred or
the market warranted" the announce
ment adds.
"It would be inequitable and dis
criminatory to permit the corporation
to be taxed at a lower rate on the gain
from the sale of capital assets than an
individual" the association states. It
holds that the capital gain tax should
be reduced to the present corporation
rate, IL per cent. and should always be
given at least the reduction that the
