GRID RULES HEAD
Approved by Coaches, N. c.
A. A. Action AWaited-0ke-
son May Be Secretary.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

n Jew YORK, December pa
With the annual Winter foot
ball clinic in full blast today,
prospects pointed to the selec-
tion Of William S. Langford of New
York as the new chairman of the
powerful Foot Ball Rules Committee
of the National Collegiate A. A., sue
ceeding the late Edward K. Hall.
Langford has been secretary Of the
committee for a number of years, work
ing closely with Hall in such vital
tasks as the recodification OF the grid
iron rules. He went to Trinity College
at Hartford, Conn, and formerly
ranked among the leading Eastern
officials.
GONE members OF the American Foo.
- Ball Coaches Association. now in
annual session, have already in
dorsed Langford for the Craftsmanship
Of the Rules Committee. His selec-
ton Is understood also to have the
backing Of the present membership Of
the rules organization representing the
entire country. 1t may be decided upon
at the opening session OF executives OF
the National Collegiate A. A., Thurs
day.
If Langford is elevated to the chair
manship, the post Of secretary may 60
to Walter r. Okeson of Bethlehem
Pa, now serving as commissioner of
the Eastern intercollegiate Association.
Okeson's chief responsibilities concern
the selection of foot ball officials, a
job which requires intimate knowledge
Of the rules and their application.
MEANWHILE the coaches associa-
1v1 ton had before it for decision
today the matter Of its work
ing relationship with the National
Foot Ball Rules Committee. For the
past several years an advisory COM
mittee of Coaches, named by the as
sociation, has sat with the rules body
but has had no actual vote in the pro-
ceedings.
Even II the coaches could obtain
voting privileges from the N. c. A. A,
which has SO far opposed such recogni-
tion. it appeared doubtful whether
majority desired II.
The important thing" according to
Lou Little of Columbia, who gave an
elaborate report on the subject TO the
coaches convention, is not whether
the coaches get a voting membership
on the committee, but that they pre-
sent their majority views more clearly
and effectively"
T TITLE recommended that COM
IL mittee Of coaches study the various
recommendations arising in their
annual meeting. obtain the majority
views and draft a definite report for the
benefit OF the Rules Committee each year.

TAX GUT URGED
AFTER BEER IS
MADE LEGAL
Threatened Treasury Deficit
OF Half Billion, However,
Seen MenaCinq Plan

The expected legalization of
beer and light wines by Con-
gress at it's December session
today gave rise to demands
for a reduction of Federal
taxes next winter.
Legalization of beer and light
wines, it was pointed out. will
give the Federal Government be-
tween $375 100000 and $500, ,0O0,-
900 in increased tax revnues.
This would permit a reduction in
some of the emergency taxes en-
acted at the last session of Con-
greSs.
The possibility of a slash in
Federal taxes was clouded some
what by reports that the Treas
ury will show a deficit of $780,
100000 at the end of the present
fiscal year.
Deficit Seen In Way
Such a deficit could be met by
a small bond issue, although
many leaders undoubtedly will de-
mand that the budget be balanced
with the legalization of beer
and light wines offering p mode
for raising the additional evenue.
BY legalizing beer, Congress will
face the choice of slashing some
of the present high taxes and
removing some of the most bur-
denSome ones or balancing the
budget by maintaining all exist
ing taxes. Until opposing leaders
declare themselves on this subject,
it would be difficult to forecast
the outcome.
A tax bill must be enacted at
the coming session, because the
Federal tax of l cent a gallon on
gasoline expires at the end of the
current fiscal year.
Beer New Source
This tax was expected to raise
$150,000,00O in revenue and prob,
ably will do so. 1t must be re-
enacted or the Government will
lose that much revenue in the next
fiscal year-thus laying the
ground for another deficit.
LegaliZation of beer would start
a flow of revenue into the Treas
ury from a fresh course without
the enactment of any new tax
legisltion. The beer would be
subject as soon as legalized to the
old Sc barrel tax that was in ef-
feet prior to national prohibition
and never repealed.
In the event Congress desired
to raise a larger amount of rev.
enue from beer, this tax naturally
could be increased by a simple
amendment to the tax law.

CAPONE FIGHT

A fight for the release of AL
Capone, erstwhile czar of Chi,

Washington attorney.
Leahy. who has figured in
many sensational court battles
here, left yesterday for Atlanta
where Capone is held in the
Federal penitentiary following his
conviction of violating the in
come tax laws.
He has instituted habeas
corpus proceedings to win free
dom for the gangster. pleading
the statute of limitations covers
three income tax violations on
which Capone was convicted in
Chicago.
Led by Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral G. Aaron Youngquist, De-
partment of Justice attorneys
will attempt to blast perma.
nently Capone's attempts to Sc
cure reversal of his conviction.
The Government will claim the
statute of limitations plea should
have been entered at the time
Capone was tried in Chicago and
also that the statute did not ap-
ply because Capone was not
in Chicago continuously. The
latter contention is based on the
fact that Capone was in Jail In
Philadelphia a year and also spent
much time ir Florida,

N.Y.BUDGETC GUT.
S75,000,000

NEW YORK, Oct. 18 GN.s).
Drastic reductions in the city's
new budget today appeared to
have saved the credit standing of
New York.
The proposed 1888 budget, from
which, at turbulent meeting,
the board of estimate slashed
about $75,OOO,OOO, was sent to the
printers today. 1t totaled approx
mately $539,000,000.
Action was taken only after
dramatic session at which Charles
E. Mitchell, chairman of the Ma
tional City Bank. warned that
the shattered financial position
of the city made credit extension
by the banks impossible unless
radical economies were effected
at once.
He expressed also the views of
Winthrop w. Aldrich, president
of the Chase National Bank, who
was at the meeting, but did not
speak. The two banks we're
leaders among those which have
floated loans for the city.
In order to reduce the budget,
the board decided to abandon
short-term financing of the
transportation lines, which h,
according to Mayor Joseph v. Nc
Kee and others, will cause
abandonment of the present five

CALLED OTHER
WOMAN IN To
TALK|T OVER
Dramatic Conference Failed to
Bring Solution; Guy Phillips,
Husband, Noted Actor

WOODN[ERE, n. Y, Oct.
IS (LN.S.).-So overwhelming
was the love Mrs. Jean Phil
lips bore for her actor hus-
band, whose affections a mar
ried rival won, that in a
tragic, fantastic effort to set
him free for happiness with
the "other woman, she sacri-
feed her life and that of her
two children voluntarily, in
vestigation into her death re-
vealed today.
The husband, Guy Phillips,
found his wife and their two chill
dren, Norma, 8, and Christopher.
4, dead from gas fumes yesterday.
Mrs. Phillips had turned on the
gas in the kitchen and retired to
the adjoining bedroom with the
children to await the end of life
made wretched by the domestic
triangle which threatened to break
up her home.
Invited Rival to Home
Only the night before, in the
drawing room of the Phillips sub.
urban home, there was enacted
one of those sophisticated, poig.
nant scenes often presented on
the modern Broadway stage.
The "other woman" Mrs. JOS
eph j. Seltzer, was invited by
Mrs. Phillips to the latter's home
to talk things over intelligently."
There the two women faced
each other in the presence of the
man they both loved. Seltzer, who
recently sued Phillips for $4,000.
charging alienation of his wife'S
affection, refused a bid to attend
the strange conference.
Apparently no definite decision
was reached at the meeting, since
Seltzer was unwilling to agree to
a divorce, although his suit for
separation is pending.
StuffS Cracks in Door
At the end Mrs. Phillips told
her husband:
Il want you to remember that
when this affair is Strengthened
out, this time it will be straight
ened out once and for ALL"
Phillips escorted Mrs. Seltzer
home, then returned and went to
bed in his room.
Although Mrs. Phillips tried to
seal his room against the gas
fumes by stuffing paper through
the cracks at the door, Phillips
was awakened by the odor of gas.
He leaped out of bed, and in his
Wife's bedroom saw her body and
those of the children.
Keeling from the poisonous
fumes, he telephoned police, then
collapsed. He was revived by a
police doctor.
Has Notable Career
Phillips is an Oxford graduate
and for some time was dramatic
coach. He played on the stage
opposite such noted players as
Cyril Maude, Mrs. Patrick Camp
bell, and Ethel Barrymore.
A near-tragedy in the human
tangle of the Phillips-Seltzer fami.
lies was disclosed recently when
Mrs. Seltzer, suffering from an
overdose of sleeping drug, was
treated at hospital.
This, Seltzer charged, was taken
by his wife in a suicide attempt
after he refused to grant her a d.
Vorce.
