INVALID SAVES
LIN FIRE BY
SCREAMS
Ex-War Nurse Is Wheeled to
Safety in Fredericksburg
Blaze; Damage Is Slight

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, Feb.
ia family of four was saved
yesterday when the screams of an
invalid war nurse awakened the
other members Of the family and
enabled them to make their escape
from a small fire on the lower
floor of the home.
The damage was declared slight
by Mrs. M. r. Hardenburgh, in
whose home the fire occurred.
The fire started in the kitchen
of the lower floor, and thick black
smoke had filled the house before
it was discovered by Miss Ida
Thomasson, who had been gassed
while serving with the American
Expeditionary Forces during the
World War.
Her screams were heard by Mrs.
Hardenburgh and her two sons on
the second floor. Rushing down
stairs they placed Miss ThOmassOn

WILMINGTON, Del, Feb. 19
QN.S0.-Held through the night
on a charge of contempt Of the
United States District Court
here, Harold Three Gun" Wilson,
belligerent Delaware prohibition

$1,000 bail. Judge John T. Nields,

Federal attorneys for Wilson'S re-

on an appeal from the contempt

Delaware drys and United

that Prohibition Administrator
Amos w. W. Woodcock and the
Department of Justice will enter
the conflict before the battle is
over.
Refuses Information
Mr.. Wilson was cited for con-

refused to tell the court where
he procured a key to the club

of Delaware, which he raided last
October. Judge Nields ordered

AMUNDSEN FAKE
ALLEGED

Photographs purporting to

airplane on Franz Josef Land in

to charges made by Capt. Evelyn
Briggs Baldwin, in addressing the
District Chapter of the Sons of
the American Revolution, last,
night.
Captain Baldwin, a veteran of
Commodore Peary's expeditions
into the Arctic circle, said that
scrutiny of the pictures, which
had been widely used by pub
fishers, show they we're either
the result of double exposure or
photographs of a "doctored"
photograph.
He shares the opinion of Nor
Wegian and French experts. who,
after examining a damaged pom
toon found off the coast of Nor
way. that Amundsen's plane, the
Latham, had fallen into the sea
somewhere south of Bear Island.
Amundsen was lost while he was
seeking to bring aid to the ILL

SEEN
FAVORABLE To
SALES TAX
Hard Battle Ahead Over Way
to Wipe Out Deficit;
Budget Cuts Urged

The movement to raise Fed
eral taxes ran into obstacles
today as demands were made
to cut appropriations a half
billion dollars and thus post
pone tax revision in the hope
that improved business will
make it unnecessary. y
Representative Wood (R) of In
diana, chairman Of the Appropria-
tions Committee in the last session,
declared the Federal budget could
be cut $500, 100000 without i'm
pairing the efficiency Of the Gov
ernment.
Smell, Watson Agree
The same view was taken by
Representative Watson (R0 Of
Pennsylvania, a member Of the
Ways and Means Committee which
frames tax legislation, while Rep
resentative Smell (R0 of New
York, likewise agreed.
Meanwhile the Administration
is prepared to lay a frank picture
of an anticipated two billion dol
lar deficit before Congress with a
recommendation that a moderate
tax increase be voted.
Sentiment disclosed in both Sen
ate and House indicates a BIZ
partisan movement for a tax in
crease of 100000 to $780,.
100000.
The Treasury is understood to
be leaning strongly toward a sales
tax. either on broad or a mod
crate scale, with some changes in
the income tax.
Chairman Smoot (R.) of Utah,
of the Senate Finance Committee,
believes Congress must raise at
least $1,000, 100000 by new taxes.
He believes the Senate would ap-
prove a selective sales tax and in
crease the income tax.
A strong battle will be waged
over the sales tax. This plan Of
taxation already is used by the
Government in the cigarette tax
under the name of an excise.
The plan of Representative
Bachrach (R) of New Jersey, to
extend the sales tax to luxuries
and non-essentials is receiving
support.

DEFENSE
First Session Neither BIames
Nor AbsoIves investigators
in Edith Riley Case

Close on the heels of the bit
ter attack launched by Repre-
sentative Frank S. Bowman
(R.) of West Virginia, against
the Board of Public Welfare
yesterday for its Outrageous
neglect" in connection with
the Edith Riley case, that re-
lief organization took steps to
defend itself.
After an executive meeting late
yesterday afternoon the board
issued a statement which neither
absolved nor criticized the investf
gators who handled the case.
The report recalled the date in
1925 when the case of Edith Riley,
the "closet-child," was brought to
the attention of the board, but
made no statement concerning its
failure to take action at that
time or on later dates when con-
diticns at the home again were re-
ported.
Boards Statement
Faced with the investigation
and reorganization demanded by
Representative Bowman, the
board issued the following state
ment:
"The history of the case dates
back to 1928 in the record of
the Board of Children'S Guar.
dians prior to the organization
of the Board Of Public Welfare.
The committee reported that
the record showed that at no
time did there appear to be
sufficient evidence in the Opin.
ion of the investigators to war
rant bringing the case before
the court.
Investigation of complaints
was conducted by a represen.
tative of the women's bureau Of
the Police Department and the
child welfare division Of this
board acting in cooperation.
"The committee reported that
inasmuch as the child, Edith,
now a,,tempOrary ward Of the
board, under commitment from
the Juvenile Court, is receiving
the best available care and the
charges of cruelty are pending
for hearing before the Supreme
Court of the District, there
seems to be no occasion for
further action Of this board"
No Censure Intended
George S. Wilson, director of
the board, declared this morning
that the welfare organization had
not meant to censure or absolve
its Investigators. He said:
"The question of that was.
not raised"
The members of the board who
voted for the report, all of whom
are appointed by the District
Commissioners, were: John JOY
Edison, chairman; Mrs. Hugh
Cummings, wife of the Surgeon
General; F. w. McReynold, w, w.

and reception and take a night

will be officially entertained to-
morrow.
State Dinner Last Night
The high peak of the Grand
social program here was reached
last night when President and
Mrs. Hoover gave brilliant state
dinner at the White House in
their honor. This affair pro-
vided little opportunity for Grand
and President Hoover to resume
their earlier conversations, when
they cow rSed for two and a half
hours, but it did afford the italian
foreign minister an opportunity
to meet other officials Of the Gov
ernment and Congressional lead
ers and exchange views with
them.
Judged by the results obtained
by Premier Laval during his visit,
the accomplishments Of Grandi's
stay are not expected to loom as
large. Laval obtained the tacit
agreement of this. Government
for France to direct the negotia-
tions with Germany concerning
future action in Germany's repa-
rations payments.
General Understanding
But Grandi, it is known, sought
no such hard and fast agreement.
He has said he wanted but a gen.
eral understanding on such SUBJ
jects as reparattons. inter-govern.
mental debts and disarmament.
Such an agreement would have
for its purpose securing closer in
ternational cooperation for reach
ing a settlement of these prob
ems. rather than definite commit
ments by either this Government
or Italy.
This is especially true on the
matter Of disarmament. The poll
cies of the United States and
Italy toward disarmament run
practically parallel courses. It
is expected that one will support
the other at the forthcoming
world disarmament conference at
Geneva in February. It is be-
lieved a general understanding of
just how far such support will go,
on either side. has been arrived
at during Grandi's visit here.
German Finances Discussed
That the German financial
situation formed one of the topics
of the Grandi-Hoover conversa-
tions was taken for granted here.
This was especially true when it
became apparent that the State
Department suddenly showed a
renewal Of interest in the subject
of reparations.
Within IL hours Of Grandi's ar
rival the State Department was
understood to have dispatched a
