FREEDOM IS VOTED
Senate Group FavorS Giving
Philippines Liberty.

By Scripps-Howdrd Newspaper AIliance
WASHINGTON June 4.-The
Philippine islands should be given
their independence, says a report
submitted to the senate today by
Senator Halves of Missouri for the
committee on territories and insular
affairs.
The report, however, proposes that
independence be granted at the end
of five years, and then only after q
plebiscite to determine if the Fill
pinos approve of the separate status
that gradually is to be established
during the five-year period. The
Filipinos seek immediate freedom.
The committee reached its con-
illusions after extensive inquiries,
during which Filipino leaders and
cabinet officers of this country, in
GLIDING the secretaries of war and
state, were heard in executive Ses-
sion.

DEMANDS FARM
TAX BURDEN Be
MADE LIGHTER
Plea for More Mortgage
Exemption Presented
to State Group.

Farmers of the state demand a
constitutional convention if that is
necessary to establish an income
tax and lift the tax burden from
the farms"
This was the note sounded by
Attorney Arthur H. Sapp, Hunting
ton, before the Indiana tax survey
committee today. He presented a
brief on behalf of modification OF
the present taxation system on be-
half of subscribers for the Farmers
Guide. This magazine circulateS in
65 per cent of the HooSier farm
homes, he said.
Exemption Too Little
Today's meeting was devoted
largely to discussion of tax exemp-
tions and Sapp urged that the
present real estate mortgage ex-
emption of $1,000 be increased.
Increasing real estate mortgage
exemptions was the burden of a
lengthy plea made by Attorney Will
liam j. Whinnery, Hammond. He
represented the building and loans,
building trades, contractors and real
estate men of Hammond, he ex-
planned.
1.-THE present $1,000 should not
even be called an exemption on
mortgages" Whinnery declared. 1T
is merely a wholly inadequte de-
duction and is sitting the real
estate development in Lake county
and has put halt to new building
construction. j"
Suggests Solution
AS solution, he suggested allow
ing up to so per cent of assessed
valuation on real estate for mort
gage exemption and raising rev.
enues by a u of l per cent tax
on mortgages and chattels which
now are escaping as "intangibles."
Sapp is chairman of the state aid
school committee, which is to meet
later with the tax committee. Today
he advocated putting the essential
school tax under state revenues.

COUNTY SOUGHT
GAMING PROBE,
OGDEN STATES
Explains Office Ready to
Help Local Officials
When Requested.

Attorney General James M. Og-
den sent an undercoyer man into
Orange county to unearth alleged
gambling at French Lick and West
Baden, after his aid was sought by
Prosecutor Walter G. Mead OF
Orange county, it was disclosed to-
day.
The investigator made a report
both to the encouragement and
to Mead. That was some weeks ago.
Nothing further has been heard
from the prosecutor and no grand
jury action has been instituted, Og-
den explained.
Ready to Cooperate
This Office still stands ready to
cooperate with local authorities in
putting down gambling, or any other
law violations in any part of the
state" the encouragement asserted
when the Orange county prose-
cutor came to this Office to ask
assistance in stamping out gambling
in his county, it gladly was given.
That is our job here and we expect
to carry it out"
It is unlikely that Ogden will act
without invitation from local
authorities, he indicated.
Hands Off" Asked
On Tuesday he conferred with
Sheriff Hal K. Hughes of Clark
county in regard to stopping al
legged gambling at dog races at
Jacksonville.
His Office will see that this is
done, since both the prosecutor and
sheriff have brought in complaints,
Ogden declared. The matter may
be in the courts all summer how
ever, since the community generally
favors dog racing, it was said.
Two hundred Jacksonville citi-
zens Monday urged Ogden to keep
hands Off"

A plea that the Republican plat

step to relieve the tax burden upon
The farmer was made today by
Lieutenant Governor Edgar D. Bush
who appeared before the commit
tee drafting the resolutions.
Lift the 20 cents state levy and
you will perform a great benefit to
agriculture, he declared.
Bush declared he did not care
whether the relief came through an
income tax or sales and excise
taxes, but the burden upon real
property is too heavy"
Time for Definite Step
For years the platforms have
generalized upon taxation. 1t is
time to take a definite STEP" he
warned.
If the Republican party declares
against tax on real property and
should the legislature concur, the
expenses of state government would
be paid through either income or
excise taxes or both, and the real
estate levies would be used only for
the upkeep of local government
units. c
The income tax proposal is re-
ceiving the most favor.

school funds is expected to be rec
commended, but no substitute pro-
posal for the present system is ex-

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, June 4 - Ganglanc
has adopted garroting, the Partisan
apache's favorite method of COM
hitting murder, as a means of put
ting its enemies out of the way. il
appeared today as detectives investi-
gated the murder of Thomas Som
nerio, Capone racketeer, whose body
was found Tuesday night in a west
side alley.
There we're no signs of gun play
marking the first time in the long
history of Chicago gang murders
police said, that the traditional
automatic pistols, sawed-of shot
guns and machine guns have been
discarded for a strangling wire.
One theory of the garroting was
that ballistic experts have been too
successful reading clews from rifling
marks on bullets for gangsters to
take chances.
Eighth Victim of War
Somnerio was the eighth victim
of the latest outburst of gang war
fare since last Saturday, when a
gangster was aSSassinated on the
street. Sunday three more were
slain at Fox Lake, H., and the re-
mainder in ones and twoS in Chi
cago.
Detectives also Investigated the
possibility that the murder of Sam
uel Massillino in Argo, Ill, also was
connected with gang warfare. Mas
sillino was shot to death in his
room. Police are investigating the
theory that he was an alcohol
racketeer.
Somnerio apparently had been
tortured and taken for a ride" by
his gangland enemies. His hands
had been tied and he had been hit
on the head. Around his neck were
deep furrors, indicating that he had
been garroted with wire moose.
See Move of ReprisaI
In the death of Somnerio, once
accused of completely in the murder
of Octavius Granady, Negro candi-
date for alderman in the bloody
Twentieth" ward. police saw a first
move of ,reprisal for the machine
gun Staying of three gangSterS at
Fox Lake Sunday.
Because of Somnerio's close con-
nection with the powerful Capone
interests, quick retaliations are ex-
pected and "the worst" is liable to
happen from now on, police said,
unless gang leaders can be rounded
up Immediately.
In widespread drive to end the
gang war, police had 215 suspects in
jail Tuesday night. Among them
we're number of notorious gang
sters, including Myles ODonnell,
brother of the better known "Klon-
dyke ODonnell; Harry Quick, one
of Capone's beer syndicate partners;
Hymie Levine, a Capone speakesy
collector, and Vincent AcGardo, ex-
tortionist.
Two other hoodlums were brought
in when Terrible Terry" Druggan
and frankie Lake, beer barons, were
charged with a $4,000 robbery.
