Every italian soldier will be
equipped with a gas mask, and,
in fact, Everything is being pre-
pared for a war from the air such
as has never been SEEM" the
agency said.
An Athens dispatch to Reuters
said Italy was negotiating at
Piraeus, the Athens seaport, to
purchase or hire lighters and
water carriers. LaborerS are also
being recruited.
Reuters also reported from Ad,
dis Ababa, Ethiopian capital, that
5000 gas masks manufactured in
Germany had arrived there.
Another 10000 gas masks are
en- route.
Friction between Great Britain
and Italy has reached a serious
stage, the foreign office disclosed
today, adding that Britain has
made strong representations" to
Italy against anti-British attacks
appearing in the Italian press.
The representations were made
July Is through Dino Grand,
Italy's ambassador to London,
citing violent" attacks which
the Italian press, including semi
official publications, has made
against Britain for her role in
the Italo-Ethiopian quarrel.
Bitter Campaign
The foreign office pointed out
that in contrast to this, the Brit
ish press had held itself to re
strained comments on 1taly'S
policy.
For some time now, ever since
Britain assumed leading role in
trying to Swerve Premier MuSSo
lini from his warlike course and
in trying to uphold League Of Ma
tions peace machinery in the
threatened war, the Italian press
has carried on at fever heat a
bitter campaign against British
interference" in Italy'S affairs.
Premier MuSsolini'S own paper
the Popolo d'Italia of Milan, and
the Semiofficial Giornale d'Italia
of Rome have been among the
most outSpoken in this respect.

Loses Watch.
Fob. Cash

Austin 8. Donaldson, who
lives aboard his boat, "Don," in
Washington Channel near the
Flood Gate boat house at Four
tenth and Water Streets South
west, felt at peace with the
world last night.
So friendly was he that he
invited the taxicab driver who
brought him home from a down
town restaurant aboard the
boat for a drink, according to
a terse police report, which
concludes:
when he woke up this morn
ing the driver was gone, also a
watch, worth $50; a gold fob,
worth SIS, and 81 in cash."
No license numbers or other
means of identifying either cab
or driver were given.

Staying
LAID T0L0VE
IN ERITREA

y CHICAGO, Aug. 7 Q.N.S).
Mrs. Blanche Dunkel shrank de-
jectedly in her seat this morning
as her confession of the TORSO"
murder of her son-in-law. Erwin
Lang, was read into evidence in
her trial.
It was definitely revealed, for
the first time in her confession
that she was her son:iniaw'S
sweetheart" until a few days be-
fore the gruesome killing.
Evidence Admitted
Mrs. Dunkel's illicit love was
revealed in court in a supplement-
airy confession that was admitted
to evidence without protest and
established, the State contends, q
motive for the murder of Lang.
Judge Cornelius Harrington'S
criminal court room was packed
with trial fans, most of them
housewives, who were drawn by
the promise of the confessions.
Among them were dozen girls in
flowered dresses who occupied the
jury box, vacant because the de-
PENDANTS waived a jury.
Mrs. Evelyn Smiths enigmatic
smile never Wavered as she heard
repeated her admission that she
drugged and Strangled Lang, and
then cut his legs from his body
with knife and hack-saw.
The former burlesQue dancer,
wife of a Chinese who is sought
for aiding her in disposing of the
body, chirped cheerfully during
an interlude:
'T'm ready to say plenty
when I take the stand"
Mrs. Dunkel gave her former
crony hard look and edged as
far away as their seats would
allow.
Defense Ready
Prosecutor Charles Dougherty
expected to rest his case with the
testimony of minor witnesses after
reading of the statements.
After that, Public Defender
Benjamin Bachrach will present
the defense upon which the de-
PENDANTS pin their hope of eScap-
ing the electric chair.
Roscoe F. Cutler testified yes
terday that last May he refused
Mrs. Dunkel's request that he
murder her son-in-law.
Another witness was the vic
TINS fiancee, 21-year-old Joseph
inc Mckinley, who told of her last
"date" with Lang a few hours be-
fore he was lured to his fatal
rendezvous.

The 16 new cases brings the to-
tai number of Virginia cases of
infantile paralysis since June l
to 1872. Since July l, 1886 cases
have been reported and 80 have
been reported since the first Of

In Albermarle county, where the
University of Virginia is located,
the largest number of cases for d
single county has been reported.
There are SO official cases and
70 unofficial.
County health officers through
out the State are enforcing regu.
lations forbidding children under

gatherings.
From Fredericksburg came the
announcement that the Cham
Der of Commerce there had can
celled plans for the Farmers
Day" program scheduled for ALL

made after a conference between
the secretary of the organization
and the city health officer.
Resorts Unaffected
Health authorities have given
the Virginia seashore resorts a
clean bill of health, not only as
to infantile paralysis but also as
to other contagious diseases. No
cases of the disease have been
reported from Virginia Beach,
Buck Roe Beach or other popular
Seashore spots.
There were five deaths In Vir.
ginia from infantile paralysis up
to July /. Figures for the month
of July have not yet been pre-
pared, but it is believed the mum
Der Of deaths will be under five,
State health officers empha
size that the current cases of the
malady appear to be mild, leav'
ing in their wake approximately
10 per cent paralysis and ex
tremely few deaths.
Two Cases In Montgomery
Two cases of infantile paralysis
this year in population of $4,000
people should be no cause for
alarm or for restricting the &C.
tivities of adults or children, DR..
v. L. Ellicott, Montgomery county
health officer, told the county
commissioners last night.
He declared that of two cases
of paralysis reported to the
health office this week, one
turned out to be a case of hay
fever and the other a youth with
an injured leg.
But as a precautionary move, a
meeting of health officials and
doctors of the county has been
called at the health offices in
Rockville Friday evening. when
they will discuss preventive meas
ures.

PLAN VIEWED
AS CHECK ON
WEALTH
Senate Group Is Told
Depression Increased
Corporation Riches
international News Service

Because Of the greater stability
Of larger corporations, the depres'
sion has increased the concentra'
ton Of corporation owned wealth,
Robert H. Jackson, counsel fol
the Bureau of Internal Revenue,
told the Senate Finance Commit
tee while testifying on the tax
bill.
Mr.. Jackson discussing gradu.
Ated corporation income taxes,
said this situation is true in the
larger industries, and especially
in finance. He indicated this con-
centration will continue unless
checked by the tax program, and
added:
eve find no evidence that q
limit to the continued increase
In corporate size has been
reached, or that any real OBJ
StacIe, economic or legal, to the
continued concentration Of cor
porate wealth has been created"
Predicts Smaller Taxes
Mr.. Jackson said in 1925, IL
per cent of the total number OF
corporations reporting net income
accounted for 69.8 per cent of the
total Of all corporations reporting
net income, while in 1892, it took
only IL per cent Of the total mum
Der of corporations reporting net
income to account for 1875 pei
cent of the aggregate net income
reported that year.
He predicted that under the
proposed corporation income taxes
corporations will pay smaller
taxes than under the present tax
schedule. He said:
Upon the basis of our eStt-
mate of corporation incomes for
the calendar year 1885. $4,000
corporations, or IS per cent Of
all of those expected to report
net incomes for this year, would
nay a smaller tax under such
schedule than under the flat
rate now in effect"
Plans Redistribution
Mr.. jackson, said that under
this schedule President Roosevelt
apparently planned a rediStribu
ton of the corporation tax bur
den, and added:
"Under this plan, IS per cent
Of all corporations obtain some
tax relief, and about per cent,
consisting Of the largest cor
pOrationS, would sustain an ad-
ditiOnaI burden"
He said one of the weaknesses
Of the income tax structure re
vealed by the depression is the
"violent" fluctuation of Govern
ment revenues. He predicted the
proposed graduated corporation
income taxes would remedy thi!
situation. He said:
'It is apparent that if we can
combine a tax based on ability
to pay with increased reliance
for revenues upon that class Of
corporations whose income is
most stable, and decrease our
reliance for revenues upon those
corporations whose income shows
the greatest fluctuatiOn, we
move in the direction of StabiliZ-
ing the revenues and evening
fluctuations"

Tercentenary Program
Heads Set Aside $4,000
Seats For Event June |

Approximately $4,000 seats will
be available at the low price Of rs
cents for the choral concert which
will be presented in the Yale bowl
Saturday afternoon, June /, under
the auspices of the Connecticut
tercentenary commission, accord
ing to distribution of tickets an
nounced today. Twenty-Five thou
sands seats in all, have been al
lotted to the event which will as
semble more than 5000 singers in
one chorus, the largest group of
trained voices ever brought to-
gether under one director in the
state.
The price of tickets for the con-
cert range from rs cents to 81,
there being 1858 seats available
for the higher price, 1910 seats will
be sold for rs cents each. The re-
naming 21,692 will be sold for Is
cents each.
The audience will occupy large
sector in the east end of the bowl.
The front edge of the stand for the
chorus will be about even with the
ends of the horseshoe section OF
seats being used.
Directly in front of the stand
will be the dollar seats which are
the first fifteen rows of aisle A, en-
trance being effected through por-
tails z, and 9, and the first ten
rows of aisle, A. with entrance
through portals 6 and 10. Back OF
these seats, on the same aisles

z, g., 8 and 10. All seats on all
aisles gained through portals 4, IS,

ter each.
One of the important factors in

ture, eight portals have been sci
aside solely for the use Of the sing
ers entering the bowl.
