CLENNA COLLETT WARE IS AGAIN
 GOLF CHAMPION
Defeated Jean Bauer in Fast Game-Miss Bauer
 Played Excellently

Eastern Point, Conn.,, July 19- (U.P)-The Griswold trophy championship passed back to Mrs. Glenna Collett Ware, Philadelphia, to-day for the seventh time as she dence, R. l., the defending cham pion, in the finals of the 17th an- nual Shenecossett tournament.
 The match ended on the 14th hole with Mrs. Ware and in front.
 Miss Bauer failed to win a sim gle hole, despite an excellent dis play of putting, which proved one of her opponents strongest points.
 Failed Her Chance
 Twice she had a chance to come through, on the 9th and 11th greens, but Mrs. Ware, declared in the best form she has ever shown over the course on which she play ed her first tournament, sank long shots to halve.
 The new champion was 4 up at the turn and leading by five strokes.
 For permanent possession the trophy must be won five times. Both Miss Bauer and Mrs. Ware have one credit against the cup. Mrs. Vare's score was one of the lowest tournament cards ever turned in. Her playing throughout the tournament was rated top notch except for one day, when she was forced to extend sherself in a semi-flnals match against Miss Helen Warehouse, Providence, to recover six holes on the home stretch to turn back the former Rhode Island state champion l up on the 18th.

 Washington, July 19-(UP)- The Roosevelt tax-the-rich bill be- gan to take shape today as a $350, 100000 venue measure broadened to include thousands of additional taxpayers.
 The house ways and means com mittee is near tentative approval of an income tax schedule which would hike surtax rates on in comes of $150,000 or more a year. The original senate-treasury pro- gram would have increased per- sonal taxes only above the $1.000.- 900 mark.
 It was indicated the committee was prepared to adopt an excess profit tax in lieu of the presidents proposed graduated corporation tax. Committee members also re- ported strong support for starting inharitance taxes on estates as low as $50,000.
 These developmentsfrom a series of secret committee conferences inc dicated strong suppo'. for stretch- ing the scope of the tax program. The measure may be whipped into tentative shape in a few days. Meanwhile the slldiers bonus is- sue arose in menacing obstacle. Rep. Vito Marcantonio. republican. Now York. said he was drafting amendments to hike tE ax rates to raise S2.200. 100000 earmarked for bonus payment instead Of rec ducing the national debt as pros posed by the president.
 The hiked income tax schedule which has won most committee 1uppoff would raise t30.4o0. eco, according to treasury estimates.

7ax- 7he-Rich Bill Begins To Assume Definite Shape

It would increase surtaxes start ing at s150.000 or net income rum ming from 54 per cent to 75 over $1O.O00, Present surtax rates at $15O,000 are 53 per cent, rising to 59 for $1.000,000 and over. un- der this schedule, according to data furnished the committee by L. H.. Parker, congressional legis- lative tax expert, a man with net incomeof $200,00O would pay $S7.- 494 instead of $S7.019 as at pres ent, and a ma nwith $5,000,000 net income $3.616,444 instead of $3,- 091,S94. An individual with $10.- 100000 netincome would be taxed $7,4S0,994 instead of $6,241,394.
 These rates would be more than double those in effect in 1926, but slightly less than wartime tax rates. One committeeman, passing his assumption on reaction of com mittee members to the proposed schedules. said he believed tax provisions and rates would be about as follows:
 l. Hiked income taxes starting at $150. .0O0. yield s20,4O0, 900.
 3. Inheritance and gift taxes at same rates as present income taxes. first sso.0oo exempt, yield s209. 000, 1000.
 3. Retention of present corpor- alton income taxes but with an 8 per cent excess profits tax. yield se0.000. 900.
 {. Corporation dividend tax making such dividends s6 instead of 100 per cent tax exempt, yield eee. 900.

BOY OF FOURTEEN
 SAVES TWO MEN

East Hampton, N. Y. July 19- (UP)-A plumber and a clerk owed their lives today to blue- blooded Stuyvesant Fish, 14-year- old grandson of the late arbiter of New York City's 400" Defying an undertow in the sea before his cottage, the boy splashed through waves on small rubber raft for 100 yards to the aid of John W. Grant. Stuyvesant lowed Grant ashore. There the plumber gasped: Carl is still out there. 1 was trying to save him."
 So the lad called for help and with his father, Sidney W. Fish, and several others, rescued Carl H. Reudershan, an East Hampton clerk, in a rowboat. Reudershan was half mile out and struggling feebly in the outgoing tide. Both the plumber and the clerk had to be given emergency treatment for exhaustion. Stuyvesants grand mother was the famous Mrs. Stuyv- esant Fish who, by trimming her guest list of a notable party to a bluest-blood 400, originated the term which has stuck to the cream of society. His father, lawyer, for some time has lived at Carmel, Cal, but the family is summering here.

European complications of an
alarming extent have been dis
closed at Paris coincident to Pre-
mier Pierre Laval's sudden effort
to bring Italy and Great Britain
together in peace negotiations.
French and British viewpoints
are far apart, it is learned, despite
their surface cooperation at Cen
eva in applying penalties against
Italy.
It is indicated at Paris that
Great Britain will not make con-
cessions to Italy unless Mussolini
first calls off his troops advancing
in Ethiopia.
Well informed French newspa-
per correspondents suggest there
may be a clash at Geneva this
weekend between France and the
Balkan allies over the support IF
Britain.
At Geneva, Great Britain has
formally proposed to the League
of Nations an immediate and COM
plete boycott of Italian goods.
Captain Anthony Eden made this
proposal.
Official spokesman at Rome
have denied vigorously that Italy
is negotiating either in Paris or
London for peace in Ethiopia. All
signs in Rome pointed toward u
determined prosecution of the
war.
