De VALERA is
DEFEATED. BY
VOTE in Dali
Suffers First Setback in
Debate Over Abolition
of Oath to Crown.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
DUBLIN, April 27.-President
Eamonn de Valera was defeated in
the dali today during debate on the
bill for abolition of the oath to the
crown.
The dali by vote of "a to &c,
rejected his motion to discuss the
second reading Of the bill ahead of
other business.
Since the vote was not on a major
issue, it was believed the govern
ment'S resignation was unlikely.
De Valera's defeat was precipi-
tated when an independent Labor
tie, Morrissey, demanded precedence
for discussion of his unemployment
notion
1T is more important to starving
people than the oath" he said.
The Laborites hitherto had as
sured De Valera of support for his
oath abolition bill, but warned him
that he must hasten unemployment
relief. They emphasized that relief
measures should have precedence
over De Valera's political aims.
Without the submission of mis-
confidence vote, the defeat merely
means that Morrissey can claim he
is entitled to submit his motion to-

STATE ASKS DEATH
FOR TAXI KILLING
Cab Drivers Fate Likely to
Be Placed With Jury
Today.

An attractive 20-year-old mother
sat in criminal court today, holding
her 22-months-old baby girl on her
lap as defense attorneys made their
closing arguments to save he1
husband, Samuel w, Wilson, former
taXicab driver, from conviction for
the alleged murder of James Stein
berger, 602 South Meridian street
last October.
The state closed its rebuttal
evidence and Judge Frank P. Baker
gave state and defense an hour and
a half each for closing arguments
The case probably will go to the
jury late this afternoon.
Frederick Steiger, deputy prose
cEtor, made the first part of the
states closing argument, branding
Wilson as a killer and asking the
jury to return a f1rst-degree murder
conviction, which provides death in
the electric chair.
He was followed by Andrew ia
cobs for the defense. Clyde Kar-
rer made the defenSe's final plea
this afternoon, followed by the
closing argument by John Kelley
for the state.
Wilson sat in court calmly a;
Steiger branded him as the mar
who killed Steinberger and ther
robbed him of So. Mrs. Wilson sa

Half of the city of Indianapolis
is playing an important part in the
most spirited Republican primary
contest in the state and may de-
eide whether Cofinism, out of
power in city and county, will stage
comeback through the halls Of
congress.
The new district is composed of
Madison and Hancock counties and
the eastern half of Marion county.
In population, this county will
furnish about so per cent of the
voters.
The race. so it is estimated by
politicians, has dwindled to a con-
test between Fred Dickerman of
this city and Dale B. Spencer of
Greenfield.
Dickerman served in the state
senate when Stephensonism was
at its zenith. He is not pointing
to his record in that capacity. In
fact, his critics say that he is try
ing to forget it.
But his letters to precinct men
appeal for support on the ground
that he lives in Marion county and
that inaSmuch as the new Twelfth
probably will have a Democratic
member, the only chance for Marion
county Republicans is to nominate
him.
Spencer is the young and fearless
editor of the Greenfield Republican,
a graduate of Indiana university,
supporter of the municipality owned
utilities Of his home city and a le-
gionnaire.
Bitterness in the contest cropped
out at a meeting of the Wayne
Township Republican Club Monday
night, when Dickerman charged
that deal had been made to elect
new member of the state COM
mittee from Anderson.
Ten minutes later, in the pres
ence Of Spencer, he retracted the
statement.
The campaign probably will grow
hotter on the eastern side of the
county until election day, with Ccf-
f1nism as the main issue.

DRASTIC BOOSTS
IN INCOME TAX
ARE APPROVED
Senate Finance Committee
Votes Hikes to Raise
$33,000,000.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, April 27.-The
senate finance committee today de-
cided on drastic increases in the
normal and surtax income tax
schedules in the 1882 revenue bill.
which it is estimated viii add S33.-
100000 to the amount which would
be raised under the house authorize
ton.
The house hoped to obtain 1922
100000 in new revenue from income
taxes. The estimated increases pro-
vided by the committee amendments
are $29,000,000 of the normal taxes
and 100000 of the surtax
schedule.
The senate committee, after de-
feating a move to restore wartime
rates, adopted a schedule of normal
rates starting at per cent of the
first $4,000 net income rising to
per cent on the next $4,000 and
standing at 8 per cent above that
amount. This compares with cor
responding rates of 2 and Z per cent
in the bill as it passed the house.
and almost doubles the existing
schedule of IL, 8 and 5 per cent.
The committee retained the surtax
schedule agreed upon in the house.
building it up from its maximum of
40 per cent at 100000 to As per cent
at 100000
1t approved the house estate tax
schedule and its personal and
earned income exemptions. The
gift tax was retained with the ex-
ception that exemptions were raised
from $4,000 to $4,000.
The house gift tax schedule, grad
uated to maximum of As per cent
at $10,000,000 was approved.
The amendment to restore the
wartime estate tax rates. which
reached a maximum of 25 per cent.
was defeated by a vote of IL to 7.
Those who voted for the change
were Reed, Shortridge, Keyes.

the four. He fought hard to under
mine Lieutenant Massie's plea of
temporary insanity, and against the
possibility of sympathy influencing
cold elaboration of the case.
Lieutenant Massie testified he and
the others kidnapped Kahahawai in
tending to force from him an adj
mission that he was one Of five is
landers who brutally attacked the
officers young wife, Thalia For
tescue Massie. He held a gun in
his hand, he admitted, and when
Kahahawai is asserted to have con-
d tessed a part in the attack, Massie's
mind became a blank.
All Defendants Blamed
II have every sympathy for Mrs.
Massie, 'Ulrich said. THE attacks
were awful things. But this is not
the place for sympathy Justice
must be administered, and it is up
TO you to do it.
Il ask you to consider this: Just
what consideration would Kaha-
hawai- have received if he had gone
to a witness stand and admitted he
shot man under conditions SINH
lar to this case?"
The dark-haired, young attorney
tntimated his doubts that Massie
was in fact the one who killed Ka-
hahawai Darrow previously had
protested that THE evidence is
overwhelming"
Il don't know who killed Kaha-
hawai- nor how he was killed" u
rich continued. 1T really isn't i'm
portant to know, since all defend
ants equally are culpable under the
law, but it is important to learn
that Massie's story can't be taken
in good faith. 1t does not check
with known facts.
I'VE grant the assaults on Mrs.
Massie were terrible, but we can't
make Hawaii safe against assaults
by sanctioning murder. Please con-
slider the political and economic flu
ture of Hawaii are at stake and
depend on you. The eyes of the
world await your verdict.
Warns Against Sympathy
AL defendants equally are guilty
where all entered an enterprise in
which life was taken. Insanity
can be defense only when it is
shown there was no intent to kill at
the time insanity struck. But re-
member insanity is always a last re-
sort.
Every bit of evidence points to
the fact that MaSSie acted like an
ordinary man would after a shoot
ing. We have nothing but his own
word that his mind became blank d"
Ulrich cautioned again regarding
sympathy for Mrs. Massie, who re-
cited to the jury her maltreatment
by the islanders and the ordeal of
her convalescence.
She was there only to affect you
jurors emotionally," Ulrich resumed
Remember, you are to consider her
testimony only as it might bear on
Masste's mental condition.
Taken to Arsenal
It don't believe Massie, Mrs.
ForteScue, Jones and Lord abducted
Kahahawai just to force confess
sion from him.
"Massie said they didn't intend
to harm Kahahawai. But they took
him to a veritable arsenal CMrs.
