why the Treasury did not recommend
luxury taxes on furs and cosmetics
Minor luxury taxes have always been
unsatisfactory, because they are diff
cult to collect and are difficult 70 make
uniform" Mills replied. An honest
merchant will pay his taxes and dis
honest one will not"
Mills estimated that $40 900 900 could
be obtained through tax on cosmetics.
Bacharach suggested that a stamp tag
be levied on them.
Representative Mccormack, Demo-
crat, Massachusetts,, asked Mills If the
bile industry
I'VE considered the gasoline tax, and
the only reason we did not suggest it
was because of the feeling that the
States had looked on it as their own, on
which they largely rely" Mills ans
wered However, if the States con-
tinue to trespaSs on Federal taxes, like
imposing taxes on tobacco, feel we can
trespass on their field through the gas
tax I've always believed in com!tv
between the States and the Federal
Government on taxes"
Liquor Tax Suggested.
Mills said Federal tax of one cent
gallon would bring in annually $780,
100000 of revenue.
Representative Mccormack suggested
liquor tax would be the easiest TO
collect and would produce the most
money.
Mills smiled and said: "Yes, only
the Constitution and Congress stand
in the way"
He added liquor taxes produced sAss,-
100000 In 1919.
Mills disclosed that the Tresury sent
experts to Canada 70 study the general
sales tax there, but declared 1t would
be difficult to put such a general tax
into effect in this country.
The Undersecretary said making the
tax increase apply on last years IN
come would be of no consequence to the
individual income taxpayer or the small
corporations because they usually paid
the previous years taxes out of pres
ent income.
There Is no fundamental injustice
in making it retroactive" Mills said.
The most disturbing element to busi-
ness will be the failure of the Govern
ment to put its own house b ordew.n

BIC CMAJOR|TY WON
|. BY MRS. CARAWAY
First Woman to Be Elected
to Senate Is Mother OF
Three Sons.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, January l3.-
A mother, whose life largely was con-
cerned with domestic affairs until two
months ago, will serve as the flrSt
woman ever elected to the United States
Senate.
Mrs, Hattie w. Caraway, widow OF
Arkansas Junior Senator, Thaddeus H
Caraway, yesterday defeated two in
dependent" candidates in special cleo
ton to achieve the distinction.
She will fill Ut her husbands un-
expired term.
Returns fros more than two-thirds
of the counties gave her l4,l2l votes,
against 436 70. Sam D. Carson. self
styled dirt farmer" and 925 for Rex
R. Floyd, son of former Congressman.
Remained in Washington.
Mrs. Caraway made no campaign.
She remained in Washington, serving
in the Senate under a temporary ap-
pointment from Gov. Harvey Parnell,
while woman's clubs and Democratic
leaders worked in her behalf.
The vote was small because OF rain
that fell over the State throughout
the day and the fact Mrs. Caraways s
election was regarded as certain. Her
nomination. by the Democratic State
Central Committee was equivalent to
election.
The election was largely woman's
affair. They served without pay as
election officials In almost all counties
because depleted finances threatened
otherwise to prevent an election. They
also probably turned in more votes
than the men, election officials said.
Expected to Retire in 1888.
A few counties held no election, de-
spite offers of women to volunteer their
services, and in all the others only q
few polling places were established in
strategic locations.
Mrs. Caraway will serve until March,
1888. Her friends expect she will then
retire from politics, which she entered
after the death of her husband.
Mrs. Caraway was born on Ten
nessee farm and is the mother of three
boys.
Her appointment by the Governor to
serve pending the special election gave
her the distinction of being the first
woman to sit as a regular member of
the Senate. Before her, Mrs. Rebecca
Latimer FELTON, Of Cartersville, Ga, had
served for a day under an honorary
appointment.

BRUEN|NG TWICE
THREATENS TO QUIT
ChanceIIor's Plan for Nation
al Unity for ParIeys Fails
DismaIH.
BY A. r. DECKER.

BY Gable to The Star.
BERLIN, Germany, January 13.-
Chancellor Heinrich Bruening is re-
ported to have threatened twice to re-
sign yesterday, probably due to his fail
ure to line up the German Nationals
National Peoples Party and National
Socialists (Fascists) in a United Hin
denburg front" and it appears that his
national unity appeal to prepare Ger
many for the coming reparations and
disarmament conferences has failed dis
mally.
DR.. Wilhelm Frick. deputy in the
Reichstag for the National Socialists, or
Nazis, speaking at Kempten, in Ba-
varia, said yesterday;
Even in popular election the Ma
tional Socialists will not lift q finger to
support Herr Bruening. If Herr
Bruening's cabinet does not vanish be-
fore the elections, the National Social
lists will present candidate from their
own ranks, man on whom you all can
rely"
VIII Fight Bruening.
The Nationalists say that Herr Bruen-
ing must go. This is their campaign
plank. When the Bruening cabinet
goes and the Nationalists come In, they
will replace Cannot pay" by will not
pay" which is at the worst more
straightforward
Herr Bruening staked all on the re-
election of President Paul Won Hin
denburg by the Reichstag. He staked
not only his position as chancellor but
he also staked President Hindenburg's
chances for reelection. Herr Bruening
has lost, or so is the general belief
in Berlin.
1t seems that Adolf Hitler, head of
the NaziS, previously agreed to sup
port President Hindenburg, but when
the German Nationals refused to sup
port Herr Bruening and President Hin
denburg together, Herr Hitler also had
to decline.
Now it remains to be seen if Herr
Hitler himself lost by this move, for
MS supporters cannot understand Hit
!ers negotiating with his arch enemy,
herr Bruening, even to support Press
dent Hindenburg.
Four Results Possible.
The results might be, first, President
HndenburgS refusing to run again, as
majority seems to be lacking; sec
ond, Bruening's resigning because his
plan failed; third, the Hitler party's
splitting, and, fourth, regrouping of
all the Nationalist parties.
Arthur Mahraun, head of the Jung
deutsch order, has sent letters to all
the German party leaders proposing a
plebiscite to ask If the German people
want President Hindenburg reelected.
Herr Mahraun is closely connected with
the Democratic party. An official re-
quest has been sent to the Reichstag
deans.

SITUATION MORE ACUTE.
Chinese Volunteer Militia Plans New
Drive in Manchuria.


Drive in Manchuria.
TIENTSIN, China, January 13 LP).-
Chinese newspapers here, commenting
on a transfer of Japanese troops from
Tientsin back to Shanhaikwan said the
situation about Chinchow is growing
acute for the Japanese and that Chi
nese volunteer militia bands all over
Manchuria" are renewing warfare"
These village militia units, the reports
said, have declared they are deter
mined to fight the Japanese to the end,
and on several occasions recently they
have been spurred by successes in sur
rounding and practically wiping out
small japanese gariSons. One story
said they had taken 60 Japanese pris-
onerS in an encounter.
One battalion of the Japanese troops
sent here when a crisis was threatened
in this area after the occupation of
Chinchow, was returned to the base
at Shanhaikwan today. The japanese
ordered Chinese authorities to provide
transportation for the battalion over
the South Manchurian Railway.
Fighting Is Reported.
Japanese authorities said the troops
were sent back because the situation
here had become much quieter and large
numbers of troops no longer are needed.
Both Japanese and Chinese reports
agreed that much fighting has been
going on around Chinchow and west of
it during the last few days Chinese
newspapers said the militia groups
along the Peiping- -Mukden Railroad
were offering sharp resistance to Japa-
nese occupation.
The new groups, these reports said,
are demanding that the Nanking gov
ernment and Marshal Chang Hsiao-
Liang give them assistance.
New complications also have arisen
they said, out of the Japanese attempt
to invade Jehol Province following the
occupation of Chinchow. The japanese
consul general here issued a warning
to Gen. Wang Shu-Chang, chief of the
Hopei provincial government, against
continuation OF the anti-JapaneSe boy
colt, declaring II it Is continued compli-
cations are certain to develop. The
japanese military information bureau
issued statement saying Chinese boy
colt groups in the Yangtze Valley are
holding up Japanese goods valued at
at least s35,000,0 900 in gold
Planes Bomb Town.
Chinese dispatches from Harbin,
Manchuria, said Japanese airplanes
dropped six bombs on the town of Ping
shien, where the provisional govern
ment Of Hailungkiang Province Is To-
Gated, killing 20 persons and damaging
government buildings.
Chinese dispatches from Shan Haik-
wan to Peiping today said Japanese
forces advancing on Jehol from three
directions had engaged Chinese de-
tachments at several points Despite a
shortage of ammunition, 1t was said
the Chinese are putting up a stubborn
resistance.
The Japanese have modified their
tactics and are advancing on Jehol by
the Tahushan Tungliao Railroad. In
the region through which they must
pass there are still 10000 Chinese mill
tiamen, including 5000 at Tungliao
where serious fighting has been re-
ported

DISHONESTY is CHARGED.

LIMA, Peru, January 13 P.-The
newspaper Ell Comercio, in bitter edi-
torial, today said the disclosures on
Latin American loans made before the
Senate Finance Committee in Wash
ington revealed that relatives of former
President Leguia had received huge
commissions for promoting loans.
While the revelations are painful to
Peru, the paper said, they also are
painful to the United States because
they reveal a lack of honesty In the
American business men who handled
the dark loans affair and a lack of
honesty in American officials, who, be-
ing aware that these were dangerous
operations, favored the loans floating,
inducing their fellow citizens to trust
in bad business"
81 Comercio added that the Senate's
investigation will have the healthy ef-
feet of finding out who was responsible
for the transaction and that American
bondholders will realize they were
tricked by their own fellow citizens,
who, it was said, induced them to par
ticipate in credit operations doomed
to failure.
From a moral and legal viewpoint" +"
the paper concluded, Peru Is evidently
entitled to revision of these fraudulent
contracts since the existence of graft
has been perfectly proved"

that Germany will no longer pay anv
kind of reparations.
The whole thing, it was explained
to the French in Paris was the result
OF an unfortunate leakage.
What happened is this: Converse
tionS were going on between the British
the French, the Italians and the Ger
mans regarding the future of the rep
arations problem. Each nation was
asked to give its opinion on that oues-
ton. The French suggested a two-year
moratorium, the British suggested a
hve-year or possibly longer moratorium.
When the British Ambassador at Ber-
lin, Sir Horace Rumbold, discussed the
matter informally with the German
chancellor, Herr Bruening stated
frankly that in his opinion, as well as
ip the opinion of most economic ex-
perts, Germany will not be able to re-
sumo payments for very long time
his expression was IAN indefinite time !"
This was by no means a provocative
statement. 1t was merely the express
sion OF opinion of the German govern
ment, but did not have the Character
OF an ultimatum
By some queer occurrence certain
people overheard the telephone con
versation between the British Am
bassador and his government and the
news leaked out in sensational form
which naturally angered the French
When interviewed by a German press
agency the German chancellor could not
deny that this was his opinion about
the ultimate fate of reparationS.
The German Ambassador at Paris WAS
able to explain to the French, however
that this was not take 1t or leave
it. statement. He told M. Laval that
the whole matter will have to be dis
cussed by all the interested powers at
Lausanne and the German government
hoped that some agreement would be
reached there, but that the French
government must expect to hear that
point OF view expressed by the repre-
sentatlves OF Germany.
The French premier was satisfied with
the explanations given him by the
German Ambassador Won Hoesch and
considered the incident closed by an
nouncing today that France would con-
tinue to extend her share of short-term
loans to Germany for another three
