IS PLANES BURN
AT HADLEY FIELD
Small Quantity of Mail Is De-
stroyed-LoSS Estimated
at $500, 900.

SOUTH PLAINFIELD, N. j., March
15.-Thirteen airplanes were destroyed
today by fire which consumed the ham
gar of New York Air Terminals, Inc, at
Hadley Field. The loss was estimated
at 100000.
The destruction included a small
quantity of mail which had just been
sorted in the airmail post Office of the
hangar.
The FIRE broke out at TAO am, short
" after the mail clerks on the early
morning tour of duty had completed
their work.
Before the clerks and other workers
could go into action, the hangar and its
highly infiammable contents were in
flames. The cause of the fire was un-
known.
In the hangar were stored four mail
planes of the Pitcairn Airplane Co.. used
on the Philadelphia, Washington and
Atlanta flights. Other machines be-
longed to John Allen, N. Parker Runyon
of Perth Amboy and Lieut.. Kenneth
Unger.
The roar of the flames was punctu-
ated by the successive explosions Of the
gasoline tanks of the airplaneS.
No water was available on the field,
and firemen were enforced to lay sew
eral hundred feet of hose and draw on
wells on nearby farms.
Most of the flames were In the han
gar for servicing The hangar was
built in 1924 by the Federal Government
at a cost of $4,000.
Two other hangers owned by New
York Air Terminals were not reached
by the flames. The fields weather bu-
escaped damage.

MILLIONS JOSTLE
IN FINAL TAX RUSH
Collections of $500, 900, 600
Required to Meet Govern
ment Expenditures.

by bne AbSOCldteu EEeSSs
Long lines of men and women in In
ternal revenue collection oflces, mil
lions of citizens keeping their annual
appointment with Uncle Sam, and
Treasury officials anxiously scanning In
come tax returns for some indication
Of their effect upon the Governments
finances-these tell the story Of
March Is.
BY midnight tonight returns for In
comes of the calendar year 1929 must
be in the hands Of the Governments
agents, or in the mail, together with at
least one-quarter Of the amount Of tax
to be paid.
With the estimated margin between
surplus and q deficit for the present
fiscal year precariously narrow, officials
anxiously awaited tabulation of the
returns. Last year, the amount paid
on March is was q little more than
5000 ,000,0 900, a sum that must be equal
ed today II the Governments income Is
to equal its disbursements.
Backsets Are Considered.
However, the collapse of the Stock
Market late in the year and the nat
lc0uCIAou VI per CeIlI Ii the EdCe OF
taxation were regarded as the sources
of radically lessened returns, although
many officials held the optimistic view
that the leSsened payments caused by
the market crash would not be so dew
astatingly low as had at first been
feared.
They pointed out that while the
shrinkage in security values had been
estimated as high as 100000 only
a small percentage of those holding
stocks had bought them at the top Of
the market and that many could have
sold at the bottom and have incurred
but comparatively small loss.
The reflection of this loss in the re-
turns, they sought, might be partially
offset by increased tax payments from
corporations, which were higher in 1929
than in 1923, although there was a
decline in the closing months of last
year as compared with the year as a
whole.
Indication of Decline.
The pessimists, however. pointed to
the only specific indication of the
amount of the returns thus far avail
able, report on returns filed during
showed receipts of $30,965, $3.50 as COM
pared with $37, 701 ,208 during the same
period last year. It was estimated that
If the same ratio were carried through
the March is receipts as whole they
would fall $100,000,000 or more below
those of last year.
Of1cially; however, the Treasury re-
fused to make any calculations, but
expects that it will be in a position to
report totals some time next week.

to Be Achieved.
CONFERENCE MARKS TIME
AS TARD!EU is AWAITED
French Premier Coming From Paris
to Confer With Macdonald To-
morrow-0utcome Expected to
Have Wide Effect or Five Power
Treaty.
by the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 15.-A 100 per
cent agreement among the United
States, Great Britain and Japan
was said in Naval Conference
circles today to be an accomplish
ed fact as far as the delegations
are concerned.
Approval by the home govern
ments of the American Japanese
settlement which closed yesterday
was said to be the only thing re-
manning to enable these three
delegations to write finish to their
Naval Conference difficulties.
For days these delegations have been
90 close to agreement that there was
said to have been little between them.
A provisional American Japanese agree
ment, achieved by Senator Reed and
Ambassador MatSudaira, is understood
TO have been the one thing needed to
complete the circle.
Up to Home Governments.
Observers said that what this amount
ed to was that if this agreement is ap-
proved by the home governments, the
United States, Great Britain and Japan
will be in a position to sign three
power pact at any minute if this should
seem desirable.
There remains the crisis surround
ing France and Italy and the next move
would seem to be up to these two.
The conference today was more or
less marking time awaiting the arrival
of Premier Tardieu from Paris for
conference with Prime Minister Mac
donald tomorrow. Upon this important
conversation may depend the outcome
Of the Naval Conference as far as a Ave-
power pact for limitation is concerned.
Both Secretary Stimson and Prime
Minister Macdonald were resting today
after their weeks arduous labors in
trying to solve the crisis evolving about
the French demands for a 725,000-ton
navy.
Report Produces Sensation.
Secretary Stimson was at his country
home in Stanmore and the British prime
minister was at Chequers, although he
planned to attend foot ball game be-
tween England and Scotland at London
this afternoon.
The report of the American-Japanese
settlement produced something Of a
sensation here when it became known.
Just what this settlement is no one in
authority was prepared to state at this
juncture. Report had 1t that compro-
mise had been effected along the lines
that Japan would consent to reduction
in her claim for 70 per cent ratio Of
8-inch cruisers and would receive In ex-
change higher percentage Of destroy
erS and submarines than she had ex-
pected. But it should be emphasized
that this report was unofficial and
should be taken at its face value.
Secretary Stimson has sought the
opinions of two of Americas most emf
nent jurists on the proposal to inject
the So-called piracy clause in the
treaty for the humanization Of sub
marine warfare.
1t was learned last night that the
Secretary had cabled Elihu Root and
John Bassett Moore, asking their opin-
ions on the value of this clause, which
was contained in a similar treaty
drafted at Washington, but never rati-
f1ed by the French.

CHINESE WOUND
U. S. NAVY OFFICER
Lieut.. Winslow Shot in Leg by
Lawless Band in Clash With

SHANGHAI, March 15.-Lieut G. M.
Winslow, commanding the United States
naval armed guard aboard the Ameri-
can Yangtse Rapids Steamship Co. IS
steamer Chipping. was wounded in the
leg by a machine gun bullet during a
clash between his guards and lawless
Chinese soldiers roaming the north
bank of the Yangtze River so miles
above Ichang yesterday.
The wounding of Lieut.. Winslow was
the result of a particularly vicious at
tack by lawless soldiers in which the
latter used field pieces and machine
guns, heavily bombarding several steam
ers, both Chinese and American, and
paralyzing river traffic for several
hours.
None of the other Americans aboard
the Chipping participating in the skirm-
ish was injured, although three Chi
nese members of the crew were Sc
riously wounded during the barrage.
The attack. which was the most severe
staged by disorganized soldiery in many
months, occurred at the dangerous
Hsintang Rapids, one of the most DIM
cult for navigation on the entlIe
Yangtze. At this location the river Is
narrow, forcing steamers close 10 Cne
banks and thus subjecting them to snore
attacks at close range. -.
In all, five American Yangtze HaploS
Co. steamers were involved In yeSCer-
days attack. Two Chinese vessels also
figured.

Quaint Empire Lines Become Important In The Mode

pirc line, one that only slender wom- en should attempt, for nothing could be more devastating than an empire line on a figure that lacked svelte grace and naturally curved lines.
 X Belt in the Feminine Mode
 There is a little black lace belt on this gown that ties in Q dainty bow knot on the left side. It is such a little belt, but it carries with 1t a feminine touch that acknowledges the softer notes of chic.
 One of the quaintest of new notes is plaided velvet for jaunty httle suits, One such combines green. brown and yellow in it's plaid and 't| brings out the yellow by using fiat crepe in that tone for the blouse that tucks into the skirt. The skirt IS cut quite high in the waistIine, with a little self belt around at normal waistlinc and the skirt cHtendlhS| above it. The jacket has d slightly fitted waistline and wide, notched lapels. Moreover. it has q scarf ot the velvet and yellow crepe. A green hat, with d velvet band of brown, tops it-an off-the-face hat that IS soft and fattcring.
 Illustrating Decorative Sports Things
 The tendency towards decoration of sports things and the use of godets and circular cut for fullness, instead of pleats, both are illustrated in al figured woven jersey. It's colors are black, tan and red and two kinds ot fine braid trim it's outer edges all over. The skirit has a yoke out lined in the braid which builds up to a normal waistline.
 The graceful cut of the coat is new. Also the way it does not come together in front being tied at the neck by little ends of the collar and hanging from it 10 reveal the tan flat crepe. The use of both braid and buttons is rather new and pleas- ing this season. after so many un- decorated garments for several years.
