FRANCE To PAY.
J.. 8. ON DEC. 15

PARIS, Oct. 20 Q.N.Sl.-
France is proceeding with plans
to pay the war debt instalment
due to the United States on De
cember Is only because the gov
ernment is convinced that nego-
tiations for revision will be set
in motion before another pay
.ment falls due, International
News Service learned from re-
aiable authority today.
Premier Edouard Herriot has
won the support of the Foreign
Relations Commission of the
chamber of Deputies for payment
of the December IS instalment.
But the commission considers the
$40,000,000 payment due in June,
1888, an entirely different matter.
In outlining the debt situation
before the commission last night,
M. Herriot defended his inten-
tion to proceed with payment of
the December Is instalment on
the grounds no negotiations for
readjuStment have started.
The Premier intends, however,
to begin these negotiations as
soon as possible after the Ameri-
can elections.

MOROS ROUTED;
MANY SHOT

MANILA, P. l., Oct. 20 G.N.SD
Scores of Moros were wounded to-
day in battle with 10 constabu-
larry soldiers On the Island of

The Moros were entrenched at
Gotta Bud Panama., where they
were driven following the ambush
that cost the lives of 81 Philip
pine constabularymen and 80
Moros.
The attack on the Moro strong
hold followed several days of dal-
lance apparently due to conflict

was best in dealing with the prob

BINGHAM BASES
TAXCUT HOPES
ON BEER BILL
Senator to Introduce Measure
As Soon As Congress
COnVeneS

A bill legalizing 4 per cent
beer and slashing some of the
present high Federal taxes will
be introduced by Senator Bing-
ham (R.) Of Connecticut as
soon as Congress reconvenes.
Bingham made this announce
ment today. He said the bill, if
enacted, would make legalized
beer subject automatically to the
existing Federal tax of Sc a
barrel.
$S75,OOO,OOO Revenue
This would furnish the Govern
ment with at least 1915, 100000 in
revenue, he added, permitting
like reduction in other Federal
taxes. He limited at the possibil-
ity of a reduction in Federal in
come taxes.
Bingham said he would wait
until Congress meets before Civ
ing out details of his proposed
tax reductions. He sponsored
last spring a like bill, which met
defeat in the Senate. In it he
proposed to reduce Federal taxes
on automobiles and their parts
and to eliminate higher postal
rates and Federal taxes on amuse-
ments, radios, monographs, tele-
grams, and telephone calls.
Cites RoOtIeg Racket
On the issue of legalizing beer,
Bingham said:
cat present there is a very
large amount of bootleg beer
being sold at anywhere from
Is to 35 cents a bottle, on
which the Government collects
no taxes. All the profits go
into the pockets of beer rack
eteers, who are able to carry
on their nefariOus enterprises
with the enormous sums they
get from the beer business.
propose to legalize the beer
business, so the Government
can receive legitimate revenues"
Bingham said more than 58,-
000, 900 barrels of beer were sold
in 1915 and 6O,00O,00O barrels in
1917. In those yearsl the Fedegal
ta8 was $1.50 a barrel, the Gov
ernment receiving $87 100000 and
$50, 0,00o,0 in revenue.

RUSSELL FLAYS
HOOVER CODE
ON POWER
Dismissed Official in First
Public Statement Speaks
Before Capital League

Charles A. Russell, former
solicitor for the Federal Power
Commission, who was dismissed
in 1880, today, making his
first public statement regard
ing the commissions policies
at a luncheon forum of the
National Popular Government
League, in the Press Club audi
torium, declared that President
Hoover was responsible for
virtual notification of the
Federal Water Power act.
He said that the commission,
since Hoover had been in office,
had failed to protect the public
interest, and charged that Hoover
favored regulation by those
regulated"
TantamOunt to Theft
He declared:
"TO give effect to the sort of
policy advocated by Mr.. Hoover
would be to nullify the Federal
water power act. More, it would
mean to release the power COM
panieS from all regulation, and
open the way to an almost in
evitable seizure of public prop
erty by methods so illegal as to
make the seizure tantamOunt
to theft"
When he was dismissed on De-
cember %. 1880, he said, there
were pending $425, 100000 in in
vestment claims of electric power
companies. Of this amount, he
said, more than $110,000,000 of
items were fraudulent or inflated.
These padded items, he said,
serve as a false justification for
excessive rates, and will eventu-
ally make almost prohibitive the
recapture of these power sites by
the public.
This passing, on the basis Of
the average, he. said, would
amount to more than $2,000,G0O,
900 of a probable total invest
ment of $7,0O0,O00,000; and if
everything were padded to the
extent that some plants were,
the $7,OOO,0OO,00O figure for Gin
vestment" would be doubled.
Russell said he was warned,
when he took office as solicitor,
that they are going to put
breeching on you," and said he
did not want to take a job if his
hands were to be tied. The warn
ing, he said, came from Joseph
M. Dixon, first Assistant Secre-
tary of the Interior, who also
told him that o. C. Merrill would
be removed as secretary of the
commission.
When he protested that the
commission was not protecting
the public interest, Russell SAID,
he was not permitted to see
either President Hoover or Secre-
tary Of the Interior Ray Lyman
Wilbur, but was stopped pJ secre-
tarieS in each instance.

WIFE FINDS JOY
IN SETTING Ely.

=. NEW YORK, Oct. 20 G.N.SD.
Taking up the challenge of Gin
herent masculine superiority, :"
thrown down by her husband,
Mrs. Josephine Culbertson made
known today that she is going
into the Vanderbilt Cup bridge
tournament bent on giving Ely
the trimming" of his life.
While less vehement in her de-
fense of women's rights in bridge
competition than Culbertson was
in announcing his return to
tournament play for the sole pur-
pose of proving himself superior,
Mrs. Culbertson was emphatic in
stating she planned to do her
best to defeat him. She said:
81 admire my husbands
bridge ability more than that
of any other player in the
world. But paradOxicalIy, there
is no person l would rather
beat at the bridge table. When
/ meet Mr.. CulbertsOn in the
tournament, / shall make every
effort to beat him. If lose,
shall be proud of his success.
But it still would be great fun
60 see him compelled to con-
gratulate me in victory"
Mrs. Culbertson dismissed with
a smile her husbands fears that
domestic happiness is threatened
If a man begins to feel his wife
is becoming superior, in bridge
or anything else.

DOGS SHOT

READING, England, Oct. 20
GN.SD There was considerable

were kept, in five weeks.
