By the Associated Press.
The administration tax program
for this session Of Congress will be
discussed in a conference within the
next few days by Secretary of the
Treasury Moreenthau. Chairman Har-
rison of the Senate Finance Commit
tee and Chairman Doughton Of the
House WAYS and Means Committee.
Already word has seeped through
congressional ranks that the admin
istration may propose stiff gift and
inheritance taxes, but there were re-
ports today that President Roosevelt
vas studying a much broader revenue
program.
Treasury experts were understood
in high sources to be studying closely
proposal offered earlier in the ses-
sion by Senator Couzens. Republican,
Of Michigan. for a restoration of the
wartime excess profits tax, with some
revlsions.
They also were reported to be
studying the demand of Senator La
Toilette. Progressive. of Wisconsin, for
a boost in income tax rates, but in
formed officials said no final decision
had been reached.
Ma ior Increase Seen.
At the Capitol there Is some talk
Of a fat 10 per cent increase IN the
income tax in all but the lowest
brackets. This might be applied
for instance, to all salaries in excess
Of $4,000 a year. il was said.
President 3oosevelt's advisers expect
him 10 submit a tax program in a
special message to Congress IN the
near future. Before the message Is
sent. Morgcnthau. Harrison and
Doughton will confer and they are
expected to lay recommendations be-
fore the President
Several months ago. Morgenthau
submitted to the Senate a proposal
for an inheritance and gift tax, along
the lines of the income tax. to be
applied in addition to the existing
estate tax. He estimated il would
raise from s3OO.OOOO 900 to $500 OO0,-
! 900 year.
Seen as Long Range Program.
President RooSevelt's lIeutenants on
the Hill understand he is considering
the inheritance tax not only as a
revenue measure but as longtime
means of distributing wealth and
income.
Several legislators known as liberals
are supporting the idea. though one
of them remarked that some of the
largest fortunes had already been
passed on to a younger generation
and thus the inheritance taX-if 1t
should be propoSed-would be too late
to apply to them for a lorg time TO
come.
Some other more conservative legis-
lators are considered certain to op-
pose the tax idea if it should be put
forward

K|DNAP H|DEOUT
HOUSE IS HUNTED
"Two-GabIed" Dwelling De.
scribed by Weyerhaeuser
Boy Held Key.

fCopyriEht. 1888. by the Associated Press)
TAKOMA, Wash. June 8.-Search-
erS by air and on the ground for the
hideaway haunt used in the George
WeyerhaeuSer kidnapping Widened to-
day as strong indications we're given
the identities of the abductors were
unknown both TO the Federal agents
and police.
A report that 20 Federal reserve
notes from the 100000 ransom we're
found yesterday in bank receipts at
Salt Lake City was followed by an
other that E. F. Connolly. Federal
agent, in charge of officers here, was
missing from his Office today.
A Seattle newspaper, which carried
the report. said it was reported he
had left by airplane for Salt Lake
City to direct search there.
House Holds Key.
Indications that names of the alb
ductors of the 9-year boy who
was released a week ago still we're
unknown to officers came when au-
thorities revealed the "two-eabled"
hideout house holds the key to their
identities through f1ngerprints. The
house was believed abandoned by the
gangsters
An authoritative source disclosed
the young kidnap victim had told
specially what parts of the home he
saw his captors touch with ungloved
hands.
The child said the house was gray,
with two gables and near water and
railroad curve When the building
is located, officials said fingerprints or
furniture and other objects doubtless
would reveal the identities of its oc-
cupants, should they have criminal
records
Two theories were advanced on the
Identities of the extortionists.
One was that the passing of $40 ran
som bank notes at Huntington. Greg,
a ad Spokane indicated the abductors
we're not an organized gang.
Another theory was that most of
the gang had sufficient money for i'm
mediate needs, while leaving the ran
som currency planted and lying low.
Plane Used In Search.
Importance of the "gabled' house
in the search became known when it
was learned an airplane was being
used to scan the territory over an
area of 10 miles square north of here
in King County.
The woman angle in the mystery
bobbed up again when o. & Bodia,
chief criminal deputy at Seattle, said
he was seeking a man and a woman
nicknamed Percy" and Minnie"
The note to Mr.. and Mrs. J. P.
Weyerhaeuser, Georges parents, de-
manding ransom, instructed them to
sign themselves Percy Minnie" in
their readiness to pay.
Another possible clue was the dis
covery in King County of light
blanket, similar to the blanket strips
in which the kidnapers cloaked
George when he was released near
ISSaquah, Wash. last Saturday.
The blanket was found yesterday
on gravel road between Issaquah
and Lake Washington.

SEVERE PENALTY ASKED
FOR ESPIONAGE IN SPAIN
Proposed Tightening of Laws
Seen Move Against Spies in
Balearic Islands.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MADRID. June 8-President Niceto
Alcala Zamora today issued a decree
authorizing presentation to Congress
of the projected revision of the mill
tary code, which esta ablishes series
of the most severe penalties for espi-
onage both in war and peace times.
Although neither the measure nor
the preamble mentioned the Balearic
Islands, the proposed Tightening of
the laws comes at a time when there
are reports of certain mysterious ac-
tivities of foreigners in that area
which is called "the strategic heart of
the Mediterranean"
Over a period of months there have
been many arrests and persistent re-
ports of spy activities around the
Balearics. The government maintains
the utmost secrecy regarding the ques-
ton.
There have been persistent reports
recently that eXiled Germans. mostly
anti-Hitlerite Jews. have been using
Catalonia as seat for their activities
against the German regime.

LAVAL WINS FIGHT
FOR VIDE POWERS
Wrings Authority From
Chamber to Safeguard
Sinking Franc.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, June 8.-The Chamber of
Deputies early today grudglngly
granted TO Premier Pierre Lavals new
cabinet limited emergency powers to
safeguard the franc
The powers, withheld from others
we're granted within "a hours after
Laval took the helm. The premier,
the third to face the chamber in
eight days wrlng decree powers from
the Chamber by a vote of confidence
of 324 to $50. The Senate concurred
233 to Is.
Previously the Senate Finance Com
mittee had approved the decree bill
after disclosing a budget deficit of
6.500000.000 francs approximately
S4l5 100000 and the treasury faces
the difficult task of finding this huge
sum.
Rail Debts Boast Deficit.
The deficit, because of railroad obli-
cations. was estimated in the Chamber
Yesterday at 19 100000 900 francs. The
Senate committee concluded the emer-
gency powers we're urgently needed to
avoid devaluation.
Parliamentary investigation of the
recent organized panic" against the
franc was proposed by the Chamber
Finance Committee and the prosecu-
tion of spectators was started with
the first indictment.
The new premier succeeded where
Pierre -Etienne Flandid and Fernand
BouiSson failed. by limiting his de-
nands and promising to use his de-
cree powers sparingly.
Recovery Aims Dropped.
Laval apparently dropped any idea
of using the DEGREES to stimulate bust
ness recovery. leaving that to Parlia-
ment Although he said in his minis
terial declaration. We must tackle the
restoration of business" he later told
the Chamber Finance Committee that
the recovery of economic activity no
longer is aimed at in the emergency
program.
The government consequently is ex-
pected to confine itself to financial
measures. particularly emphasizing
sharp economies in the social lnSur-
ance system. in an effort to trim the
budget deficit.
His new powers. Laval said. would
permit efflcacious measures to i'm
prove the present financial situation"
which is admittedly bad.
Laval Emphasizes Crisis.
The Chambers decisive action came
when Laval had impressed upon it that
the situation is serious"
The single article of the decree
powers" law read:
TO prevent devaluation of the cur
rency. the Senate and the Chamber of
Deputies authorize the government to
take by decree until October 81, 1885,
all measures which will have the force
of law to combat speculation and de-
fend the franc.
These DEGREES taken in the Council
of Ministers will be submitted for rati-
fication by the Chamber before Janu-
sry /, 1886"
