Washington, June 10.-(P)-Notl-
fication that war debts will be due

tic channels Saturday to capitals al
ready abuzz with controversy over
paying or defaulting.

the excited week which already pre-
ceeds the semi-annual due date, the
Washington government sent iden-
tical notes to each of the Is debtor
nations which, on June Is, will owe
the United States total Of $l44,-

quarters to regard this factor as add
ing emphasis to the notice, as a re-
minder of President Roosevelt's posi-

INVESTIGATION OF
MORGAN ENDS; SEE
new TAXPROCRAM|
Senate Votes to Remove Veil Of
Secrecy from Income Tax
Payments

Washington, June l0.-tPeThe
senate,s investigation OF :. P. Nor
gan and Company Is over, for the
present at least but developing Sat-
urday was a train of consequences
which will seriously affect the coun-
try's income tax payers.
Publicity for all tax returns was
voted by the senate Friday night in
an amendment to the industrial con-
troll bill and there was every indica-
ton that this removal of secrecy would
be made law.
A drive to prevent loss-showing
stock sales designed to "evade or re-
duce" income tax payments, was an
nounced by Guy T. Helvering, the new
commissioner Of internal revenue.
Both were direct results Of the
Morgan inquiry's disclosures, and of
previous banking committee investi-
cation results. The Morgan partners
paid no income tax In 1881 and 1882
and hardly any in 1880 because OF
losses established from shrinkage OF
security values. Charles e. Mitchell
former chairman of the National
City bank, Is on trial now on tax
evasion charge resulting from prev
iouS senatorial investigation.
The investigators who closed the re-
markable hearings Friday night and
released J.. P. Morgan, his partners
and other important men from the
subpoenas which have held them here
the better part of three weeks, in
tended to decide Saturday on a pro-
gram for getting into operations OF
Kuhn, Loeb and company, and Dill
lon, Read and company, big private
bankers like the Morgan firm, who
are due for investigation next.
These inquiries probably will be
taken up in the fall, due to the i'm
minent adjournment Of congress.
The long Morgan inquiry ended
with parting shot from the central
figure, J. p Morgan, in which he con-
demned what he called unjust criti-
cism" levelled at the selected clients
to whom his firm sold stocks at bar
gain prices.

fascinating women along BroadWay' pue

do Just as well for the continuity OF
a Mae West show as a whole troupe

leading man, has remarked on this last
at length.
The film is Mae West. Mae West
wrote both scenario and dialogue. and
she gave herself choice slices of the
laugh lines. The continuity follows
the fortunes of "Tira," the dancing
girl of the carnival, through to the
fulfilling OF her ambition-that Of being
a lady, at least by having married
man of social position and money
What does seem bit out of the
ordinary is that this same girl would
be permitted to plead and generally
handle her own breach of promise case
in the civil courts and obtain the
leniency Of the judge himself However,
it is all done in such a way as to
provoke thorough enjoyment, the audi
ence ttttering when Miss West does
even so little as saunter swingingly up
and down the aisle before the Jury.
