ST. JOHNS, N. F., April 6. - A

day after storming parliament
buildings, wrecking government Of
fices. assaulting Prime Minister Sir
Richard A. Squires, and threaten
ing 10 tear Inspector General of

could lay hands on him.
This is not a riot, it is revolu-
tion." Sir John r. Bennett, K. B.
F.. former acting premier and a
veteran in service of the Newfound-
land government, said as he
watched the mob. 1t was throwing
everything movable out of the par
Lament buildings. attempting to
burn the buildings, and uprooting
fences around the grounds to use
pickets for weapons.
II was reported that Sir Richard
had resigned bur officials said it
was impossible for the cabinet to
resign until Sir Richard has been
received by the governor, Sir John
Middleton 1t was understood, how
ever, that members of the cabinet
had advised the governor to ask
for the prime minister's resignation.
The mob numbered about $4,000
at its greatest strength when par
ade started from the Majestic the
atre to the parliament buildings.
Resolutions protesting against al
legged blocking of popular demand
for an investigation Of the govern
ment were being considered there.
The parade started in an orderly
fashion. Witnesses said the riot
ing started when police assailed the

Sir william Coaker, minister with
out portfolio, was received by Gov
ernor Sir John Middleton and eX-
pressed his own intention and that
OF other members of the cabinet to
resign as soon as they could get in
touch with the prime minister.
The rioting was the result of the
acute economic situation here and
was attributed by several prominent
citizens on the dilatory tactics of
the government in dealing with
public demands FOR relief.
The government has been at
tackled by the opposition for three
weeks.

TAX 7 Bill.

ASSA|L.E:D
Mills Asserts House Meas
ure Would Retard Busi-
ness Recovery.
REQUESTS CHANGES
Head Of Treasury Places
Criticism Before Senate
Committee.
By LYLE c. WILSON
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, April 6. = The
billion dollar tax bill as passed by
the house was criticized by Secre-
tary of Treasury Mills today as
measure which, if enacted into law.
would tend to retard business re-
covery."
Mills criticisms we're voiced when
he appeared before the senate fin
ance committee at the beginning of
senate action on the bill.
Mills detailed a number of fea-
lures which he believes should be
changed by the senate. He attacked
the corporation income tax rate as
set by the house and declared the
stock transfer tax to be excessive
under existing conditions.
Mills also urged that the senate
eliminate the house provision which
put tax upon dividends received
by individuals.
Mills referred to the committee
the original treasury tax recon-
mendations as presented to the
house ways and means committee
at the beginning of tax bill consid-
GRAFTON. He said the senate group
might want to go back to some of
these if it decided to change the
house measure.
Regarding the manufactures sales
tax, Mills said the house bill, which
was changed to include taxes on
automobiles, radios, and so-called
luxury ievies, presented problems
usually dealt with under a tariff
act" He said that their inclusion
in a tax bill was matter of pol
| icy for congress to determine
Corporation Tax Too High
Il believe" said Mills, that the
corporation income tax rate Is too
high; that there is no justification
for compelling corporations to pay
for the privilege Of filing income
tax returns in accordance with their
usual method of doing business and
keeping their books; that the con-
cealed double taxation involved in
discounting the exemption of div
idends from normal tax is unsound,
resulting as it does in discrimina-
ton against the corporate form of
doing business, with particular
hardship to the smaller corporation
as compared with a partnership;
that completely doing away with
the net loss provision is hard to
justify in times like these; that the
stock transfer tax is excessive un-
der existing conditions; and that
the estate tax rates are too high"
The secretary asserted that "the
cumulative effect of all these pro-
visions is very great
Mills said "the great merit of
this bill is that it raises 81 ,030, ,000,-
900 of new revenue" He felt, how
ever, that the bill had serious de-
fects which should be remedied.

Noted Race Horse Dies

PERRY STABLES, MEMO
PARK, Calf, April 6.-U.P)-Pha1
Lap, the mighty Wonder Horse"
from Australia and one of the most
magnificent thoroughbreds of all
times, lay dead today in the ram
bling frame stables of Ed Perrys
stock farm.
Red eyed from lack of sleep and
from crying, the little group of
horsemen who sat beside the blan-
ket-covered body in Pickering Ian
tern light all night long, was still
stunned by the loss of their
Bobby"
A sudden attack of acute indi-
gestion yesterday felled the giant
sorrel gelding which crossed the
Pacific ocean to win the $4,000
Aqua Caliente handicap and capti-
vate the admiration of the Amer
ican sporting public.
David J. Davis, co-owner of the
track monarch, arrived today by
airplane from Los Angeles. He en-
tered the stables, lifted the blanket
and, as tears streamed down his
face, murmureG, Poor Bobbyl" He
dropped the blanket over the horse
which had won 1892 for him
and his Australian partner, and
stumbled outside.
Davis was still too stupefied by
his loss to make any decision as 20
disposal of the body. Friends sug-
gested that it be mounted and
placed on display at one of the
Jockey clubs. He said he had valued
Bobby" as he was called affec-
tionately by the small retinue Of
Australian horsemen, at S500,000,
and that he was not insured.
THE financial loss means moth
ing" Davis explained I'VE never
regarded Bobby in the light of dol
lars and cents. He was a prince
among horses, with almost human
intelligence. We almost worship
ped him from the sporting angie
and loved him for his own affec-
tionate self"
Not Poisoned
Dr. William Nielsen, the Austral-
ian veterinarian. quieted all rumors
that Phar Lap had been poisoned.
He said: There is not the slightest
suspicion of poisoning. The autopsy
last night showed that acute indi-
gestion and inflammation of the
stomach contributed to his death.
Dr. Nielsen said a gastric diSor-
der had been noticed Sunday, prob
ably caused by nibbling fox tail or

stimulated by eating barley, purch-

This recalled the mysterious air.
plane visits at the start of the in
vestigation, when watchers noted
the planes dropping messages.
1t was impossible TO tell today
whether anyone emerged today
from the Lindbergh mansion to
watch the planes. There was a
possibility the planes may have
been chartered craft of sightseers
but watchers secuted this because
of the perfect formation in which
they flew and red, white and blue
insignia on the wings, similar to
the insignia used on army and navy
service planes.
Renewed activity and a chain of
hope-inspiring events during the
past "a hours led to strengthened
belief today that the kidnapped
baby would be returned soon.
Nc actual basis for such a belief,
however, was advanced by investi.
gators working with the Lindbergh
family
The incidents which increased
optimism included:
Enforcement by state troops of
rule prohibiting newspapermen
from parking cars on Wertsville
road after several days of apparent
indifference. This may be the re-
suit of a rapidly growing force OF
newsmen here.
The Lindbergh home, for the
second night, was brilliantly lighted
with police apparently restlessiy
active.
Reports credited to one police
official that the baby would be re-
turned before 8 a. N. Wednesday.
He hinted the child might be left
at the home of Mrs. Dwight Nor

Question Unanswered

left unanswered a press question
as to whether any definite informa-
ton had been received from any
reliable source indicating that the
baby, who was taken from his crio
March l, was likely to be returned

the state police had not been re-
