is suffering from a cold. His
amazing vitality and cool-headed-

the hospital. When he recovered
consciousness at 4:55 p. M, al

with his hands chained behind
him. He held his head high and
spoke vaguely to an Internationl

secret society consisting Of some
40 or so members of which he
claimed to be the leader. It's
headquarters, he said, were in
Monte Carlo.
The organization the prisoner
indicated, was of Fascist nature.
During the late hours of the
afternoon, a long list Of distin-

hospital to express their Synpa-

They included Premier Andre
Tardieu, former Premier Pierre

M. Paul Peynaud, an old politi-

MILLS At TACK
WINS RETREAT
BY SENATORS
Finance Committee ReVerses
Self, 13 to 4, to Support
Treasury Tax Plan

Reversing themselves again
members of the Senate Finance
Committee voted today to in
corporate in the pending tax
bill a number Of changes
earlier recommended by Sec
retary of the Treasury Mills.
The vote to accept Mills pro-
posals was 13 to 4.
After first voting to make the
normal income tax rate 4 and 8
per cent a per cent on the first
$4,000, and 8 per cent on the
next $4,000, the committee re-
versed itself again within an
hour and voted to adopt the
House rates Of 3, 8 and 9 per
cent as the normal rate.
All the tax increases voted by
the committee will remain for
two years only, said Senator Bing.
ham (RO of Connecticut.
Prefers Sales Tax
Mills estimated the measure as
it stands now will produce ST.
004. .000, 900 in revenue.
He also said he did not think
the general manufacturers sales
tax would be as great a burden
on the little man as the present
bill'' and that he had told the
committee the sales tax would be
acceptable to the Treasury.
The bill now raises the tax on
automobiles to 4 per cent, imposes
a 5-cents-a-pound import tax on
rubber, and retains the increased
taxes on stocks and bond issues
and transfers and postal rates.
1t eliminates the one and one
half per cent penalty tax on
consolidated corporation returns
and permits deductions from
losses to be carried over.
Mills Attack Severe
It also includes the corporation
tax of 1914 per cent, the gift
tax, the 5 per cent excise tax
on radios and the graduated tax
on telephone and telegraph mes
Sages beginning at 5 per cent.
Adoption of the compromise bill
followed q severe denunciation by
Secretary Mills Of the bill drafted
by the committee yesterday.
Mills asSailed the high surtax
rates as unjust and not likely to
bring the revenue expected.
He proposed 10 per cent in
crease over existing rates on to-
bacco but the committee adopted
the 4 per cent automobile tax
as an alternative.
After reviewing what it had &C
compliShed in the way of Jug
Cling income tax and other rates,
the committee voted most OF the
excise taxes out of the measure
including furS, toilet articles,
boats, mechanical refrigeratorS,
firearms, sporting goods, cameras,
matches, soft drinks, safety de-
poSit boxes, and transfers on the
produce exchange.
The bill as it now stands is ex-
pected to balance the budget with
sufficient governmental economy

Mothers interest in Baby
Lindbergh Recalls Wilson'S
Death Under Auto

The interest of Mrs. Edward
Beale Mclean in apprehend-
ing the kidnapers of the Lind.
bergh baby or in restoring the
child to its parents appears
to have been inspired from
two sources-first, her friend
ship with Colonel and Mrs.
Lindbergh, and second, a
sympathy occasioned by the
fact that the McLeans found
it necessary to guard their
first child, little Vinson, so
carefully.
1t Is understood that Vinson
who was killed by an automobile
while still a child in front Of the
Friendship estate on Wisconsin
Avenue was threatened on several
occasions by kidnapers, and as
many as three detectives were as
signed to protect him at times.
GACA W
The child was widely publ
cized as the $100 100000 baby u
since at the time-20 years OF
more ago-he was the sole heir to
the two large fortunes Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Mclean.
Fear of kidnaperS is mentioned
frequently in the records of the
childS early years. An example
appears in an article by Grace
Darling, which appeared in the
New York American on January
"a, 1915. The child spoke of
"Bucky," whom Miss Darling did
not identify. The article reads:
Candid, intelligent eyes
stared out of the baby face,
looking their surprise, yea, and
pity, for one who did not know
Bucky.
"'He's my fren'. He goes
everywhere with me. Don't you,
Bucky?'
'He left me, and with a.
sturdy stride marched to the
man who Is always in sight Of
the Billion Dollar Baby to pro-
tect him from possible kidnapers
and other of the vultures that
furtiveIy follow great fortunes"
Another communication from
a Palm Beach correspondent Of
The Washington Times, at a
somewhat earlier date, refers
to a similar condition:
Had Three Detectives
Master VinsOn has q retinue
of five high-priced men who
devote themselves entirely to
his attention. Three are de-
tectives, one of whom never
leaves him for a moment, one
a private physician, who beside
taking general precautiOn for
his health, takes special ex-
animation Of all food. set be-
fore him, and the fifth, a man
nurse. The only woman the
yOungster comes in contact with
is his mother"
Mrs. Mclean has always been
absorbed in the welfare of her
children, and when the child Of
her friends, the Lindberghs, was
stolen, she made their cause her
own.
