only as a witness before Senate COM
mittees, but as philanthropist and
a public-spirited man.
Few of the bankers who appeared
before the committee were as frank
as Kahn in condemning some of the
practices that had been general on
Wall Street during the boom days.
He recommended repeal Of the cap
ital gains and loss provision of the
income tax laws which permitted
many wealthy men to avoid income
tax payments.
Kahn told the committee he had
paid no income tax for 1880, 1881
and 1882, but that he did pay tax
of more than $4,000 for 1880 in Eng
land on securities owned there.
He contended market manipulations
to establish fictitious prices should
punished by law.
Throughout the hearings Kahn was
accompanied by a physician, but he
took particular pains not to let that
interfere with the inquiry.
Once, when his physician suggested
he had been on the stand long enough,
Kahn waved him aside and went on
with his testimony
Ferdinand Pecora, committee coun-
sci, subjected Kahn to rigid cross
examination. but the banker never
lost his poise or affability. When
the investigation was over he shook
hands and parted with the inveSti-
gators as though he were thanking
them for a good time.
Frequently during the long inquiry
ne passed idle moments exchanging
jokes with Pecora and members of
the committee. Many Of them were
on himself.

FAVORABLE REPORT
ON Minimum WAGE
Bill for Substitutes in Postal
Service Is Given to
Senate.

A bill already passed by the House
to fix q minimum wage for substi-
tutes in the postal service, was re-
ported favorably from the Senate Post
Office Committee yesterday by Sena-
tor O'Mahoney, Democrat, of Wyo-
ming.
The House bill would have assured
these substitutes at least SIS a week.
The Senate Committee amended the
bill to provide for a minimum Of 100
hours of service in a month instead
OF a specified amount weekly. which
works out approximately the same fig
ure for those substitutes who are paid
at the rate of IS cents an hour less
the percentage pay cut
The report states that there are
$4,000 substitutes on the rolls, and
that because of the depression, great
numbers of them have been unable
to earn a living wage during the past
few years.

LONGVIEW, Tex, March 30.-A
spectacular fire early today razed the
$250,o00 112-room Hotel Longview
taking two lives, injuring score and
leaving others unaccounted for.
So quickly did the flames sweep
through the three-Story building the
guests barely had time to escape.
Many of them jumped to the street in
their night clothes and others were
rescued from precarious positions on
window sills by firemen.
D. F. Stafford, As, Dallas, Tex, an
employe of an insurance company.
was killed instantly when he jumped
head first from a third-story window
and landed on his head. The charred
body of another person, whose iden-
tity could not be established, was
found in the ruins.
Only a few of the 80-odd guests
we're up when the flames sprang up
from a source undetermined and
quickly got beyond control. Hope of
saving the building soon was aban-
doned
An heroic mother, Mrs. Lewis Lacey,
seeing every avenue Of escape blocked,
tossed her 14-month-old son out of a
window. He landed on an awning
protruding from window on the floor
below and firemen scrambled up lad
ders to rescue him.
Mr.. and Mrs George Downey of
Cincinnati also jumped from a second
story window but were unhurt
A third death was attributed in
directly to the fire. Herman r. Yates,
member Of a prominent family here,
died Of heart trouble and physicians
attributed it to shock.
Since the hotel register was de-
stroyed, officials faced added difficulty
in identifying the unknown victim.

AUSTRIAN POLICE.
ARREST PRINCESS
Elizabeth, Wife of Socialist,
Questioned and Then Free.
Home Searched.
BY JOHN GUNTHER.

BY Radio to The Star.
VIENNA, Austria, March 30-It Is
learned today that Princess Eliza
beth Windisch-Graetz, the only sur
viving granddaughter of the late
Emperor Franz Joseph, was arrested
yesterday, detained for three hours
and then released after her house
was searched by the police.
Her present husband, Leopold
Petznek, well known Socialist, has
been jailed since the February out
break in Austria.
Princess Elizabeth is in a position
to reveal Socialist secrets to the po-
lice, and it is thought she was hence
detained and questioned. Elizabeth,
who might be the Empress of Aus
tria-Hungary, has been daily visit
ing the Jail where her Socialist hus-
band is held-a romantic sidelight on
the mixed up affairs Of Austria
Princess Elizabeth was the favorite
granddaughter of Franz Joseph and
was the only child of Rudolf Of Haps-
burg, the Crown Prince of Austria,
who shot himself and his mistress
at the Mayerling hunting lodge near
Vienna in l889-the most famous
and most mysterious of all modern
royal tragedies.
Elizabeth first married Duke Otto
Windisch- Graetz, but divorced him
when her independent spirit could
no longer brook the ceremonial eti-
quette Of the rigid Hapsburg court.
She fell in love with Petznek and
went to live in the poorer class dis
trict Of Vienna, where she became a
school teacher.
Orthodox clerical and conservative
circles deteSted her ever since as a
traitor to the imperial tradition and
a renegade. Petmek, member of
the lower Austrian Diet, was among
the first Socialists to be arrested when
the February fighting broke out.

Houu White Owl Smokers
are Protected

THE General Cigar Co., through a
10-year-old Crop Control System,
knows the condition of tobacco-grow-
ing districts in Pennsylvania and Ohio
the two states which produce nearly
all United States cigar filler tobaccos.
The amount of rainfall -. of sum
shine :. the condition of the soil
are all recorded. From these records,
it is possible to forecast every "Vin-
tage" crop. and only tobaccos from
such crops are purchased for White
Owls.
But Vintage" Crops alone are not
enough. Under the control system
all filler tobaccos are classified into
seven grades. Only the top three
grades pass White Owls strict re-
quirements. That why we can truth
fully say-White Owls are made only
from Grade A Vintage" filler tobaccoS.
At the present moment, there is
enough Grade A Vintage" filler to-
bacco aging in our warehouses to
make over l billion White Owls
more than a three-year supply. That
is why White Owl never has to use
nOn.vintage filler tobaccoS.
GradeA Vintage" filler tobacco is aged
from 9 to4 years-an average Of gears.

along with him in some of his
enterprises.
We always have responded when
men asked our aid. We helped
them build a nation out of the
wilderness. We shared their
hardships in the creation of a
great republic. We even entered
into their spree of making the
world safe for democracy.
But we doubt the wisdom of
regimenting, regulating and rum
ming the whole world for the
benefit of business alone. Tariffs
and trade are important, but
somehow we feel they should not
be so important as human vel
fare.
With all its glories and gadgets,
all it's marvels and miracles, ours
is still a lost world, in the SPIRITUAL
sense. And when men are truly
wise they will ask the help of our
hearts and our brains as we'll as
our hands in the administration
of it's affairs. For women want a
new kind of werld-one that will
be safe, first of all, for homes.

CLOWLY but certainly it is
~ dawning upon the conscious
ness of the modern woman that
she does not admire the kind of
world man has made. And with
the lessening of her admiration
for the marvels of his world there
is born a suspicion that his mental
attachments may not, after all, be
superior to hers. When that
suspicion has become a convic-
ton there will be a marked i'm
provement in the state of both
sexes.
For it can not be said that
women are free until they are
free in their thinking. And what
ever her rights and opportunities
may have been in this country,
the average woman has been
afflicted with an inherent feeling
of inferiority when she compared
her Judgment with that of the
trousered and more aggressive
half of the population.
Things are changing now.
Women who have spent years in
the business world know beyond
the shadow of doubt that the
male opinion is not infallible or
the masculine brain too wise to
err. They have seen the best and
the worst of men. They know
that leaders in industry and the
professions are capable of childish
reprisalS, of malicious behavior, of
petty jealousies and egotistical
bombast. They understand just
as well that they are, at the same
time, capable of lofty idealism,
fine sacrifices and benevolent
deeds.
And so I think it is true that
the American woman is asking
herself whether man knows ex-
actly what he is doing and
whittier he goes. Right now she
wonders whether she wants to trot

the survey seem family astonished
at the fact that our schools TO-DAY
are hotbeds of conservatism. But
isn't it true that youth is always
period of excessive conservatism, IN
the more fundamental sense OF the
word? I mean as opposed to in
diyidualism.
The flapper who flouted her par
ents' wishes in the early EOS and
seandalized the neighbors by park
ing corset at a dance would have
been a radical if she had been the
only one to indulge in such goings-
on. But she wasn't.
She was simply following the herd
and living up, with the most rigid
severity, to the tradition of her set.
F. Scott Fitzgerald had set up a
standard of immortality, and no girl
was going to risk being judged as
odd by failing it by the margin of

Rebel When It's Stylish
When rebellion is the fashion
among the younger set you will find
small SANDING in every American
home.
When some phrase is current
no matter how outre it may be
it will be on every adolescent lip.
Do you remember the trying period
+ when every remark to the younger
generation was answered, Don't be
an Airedale?"
No, individualism is hardly the
mark of the 20-year-old.
The grown-up woman lives in hor-
ror Of selecting a dress which some
other woman may wear to the same
party. The girl of college age is
miserable unless she wears the iden-
tical hat adjoining her associates
on the campus-even if it be a pea
nut straw bought at the village
store
And to be forced to buckle up
her galoshes in a season when every
one else's were swinging to the
breeze would mark her as freakish
and ruin her semester.
Don't Oppose Group Views
To stand out against the opinions
of the group is the real test of the
radical. And that your young per-
son does not dc, even in so minor
a. matter as the proper color of his
hat band.
So it is of profound sociological
interest to learn that the younger
set today is leaning toward the
right wing in morals and in mat
tiers of political sympathies. There
are several million of them at large.
If they had elected to be hell rails
ers or revolutionaries they might
have proved 9 serious problem.
For the solidarity of our youth
is a thing which may we'll arouse
the envy of the Communists.
