TAX BILL
PASSED
Bitter Fight in Senate
Due as House Gives
Approval, 1896
BY WILLIAM s. NEAL
International News Service

The 270 million dollar tax bill,
which raises some levies to record
levels, was passed by the House
today.
The vote was announced as 2S2
to SO.
The measure now goes to the
Senate, where it faces strong at
tackS on the ground that it would
virtually confiscate many estates
and would hamper recovery.
While the measure was designed
by the Ways and Means Commit
tee to carry out the essentials Of
President Roosevelt's SurpriS e
message of June 10, 1t flouted
esidential recommended ons on
sotne issues. ~, ss:,-u.sI.1s,- ,..........,.
G. o. p. Fight Futile
Before final passage, Republi-
cans made a final attempt to kill
the bill. Representative Tread
way (R.) of Massachusetts,, Of
fered a motion to recommit it to
committee without recommended
ton. The motion failed.
With the Senate Finance Com
mittee slated to act on the meas
ure this week, Democratic Senate
leaders hoped to obtain passage
next week.
There was a possibility, how
ever, that bitter attacks on the
bill, efforts to delay action until
next session and fights to add
bonus and farm initiation riders"
may precipitate a prolonged
battle.
Boosts LevieS
The taxes provided in the bill
are:
Boosts in individual income sur
taxes on incomes from $4,000
up, with a maximum Of rs per
cent.
Graduated corporation income
taxes between the limits, 1874 and
14A per cent.
Excess profits taxes beginning
after 8 per cent profits, maximum
tax 20 per cent, in addition to
regular tax.
Inheritances taxes, touching
some requests of $4,000, and
reaching a maximum tax Of IS
per cent. Gift taxes three-fourthS
Of inheritance taxes.
Tops British Taxes
The House ignored President
Roosevelt'S recommendation for q
graduated corporation tax ranging
from 10A to 1871 per cent, but
approved the principle.
1t ignored his request for an
intercorporate dividend tax, and
granted corporations an exemp-
ton from income taxes for char
table gifts in the face of Mr..
Roosevelt'S opposition.
The measure, however. Demo
cratic leaders said, essentially car
rieS out the wealth tax proposals
of Mr.. Roosevelt.

England May Remove
Embargo on Gun
Shipments

LONDON, Aug. 5. GN.S0.
Japan has agreed to supply arms
to Ethiopia and a contract for a
huge order has already been
placed.
This sensational development in
the "holy war" with all the colored
races lined up on the side of Eth
iopia against Italy, was reported
today in an Exchange Telegraph
message from Adds Ababa.
The Ethiopian government, &C.
cording to Exchange, signed con-
tract Friday for Japan to supply
"a very large consignment" of
arms and ammunition intended to
accelerate moderniZation Of the
Ethiopian army.
Turkey Offers Aid
Arrangements have almost been
completed, the dispatch added, for
the sending Of q japanese military
and commercial mission to Eth
iopla.
Turkey Joined in a positive ex-
preston of sympathy for Ethiopia,
Exchange telegraph reported from
Ankara, when the Turkish depart
ment of national defense in
structed General Wehbi Pasha,
who is now in Adds Ababa, to
offer his services as an official in
structor in the Ethiopian army.
Japanese patriotic societies,
public, and newspapers have
shown decided favoritism for Eth
opia in the present quarrel, espec-
tally in view of Japan's trade ex.
pansion in Africa, and recent
assurances by japanese diplomats
abroad that Japan would not
interfere brought the Official re-
spouse in Tokyo that Japan could
not guarantee to remain aloof.
Eden Criticized Ethiopia
At that time it was said no arms
were being shipped to Ethiopia,
but the government refused to
promise not to lift the embargo in
the future.
There was also believed to be
considerable likelihood that Britain
will remove her ban on arms ship
ments if present peace efforts
fail, as seems probable.
Returning from the session Of
the League of Nations council at
Geneva, Capt. Anthony Eden
spent the August bank holiday
today at the home Of Sir Philip
Sassoon, preparing a full report
to be given to Premier Stanley
Baldwin and Foreign Minister Sir
Samuel Hoare tomorrow and to
other members of the cabinet
later in the week.
Meanwhile London fastened to
calm Rome's ruffled feelings by
declaring that Captain Eden's

tfationS must succeed, or else the
council will have to discharge the

Payne Whitney, the New York
Evening Journal said today in a
copyrighted story.
Mrs. Vanderbilt was quoted as
telling friends, with some bitter
ness. just before she sailed for
Europe:
Gertrude whitney saw to It
that I didn't have . chance. She
has thoroughly poisoned little
GIOria'S mind against me and
she did everything within her
Ower No keep poisoned while
the child was with me-"
Mrs. Vanderbilt referred to the
81 days Of July, the only month
of the year she is allowed com
: plete custody Of her child, under
the terms Of an order by Supdeme
Court Justice Carew. During the
rest of the year, except for week
ends, little Gloria must stay with
her multi millionaire aunt who
charged Mrs. Vanderbilt was not
q "fit mother" during the cele
brated court fight over the child'S
custody recently.
Almost daily telephone calls
and letters to the little girl were
part Of Mrs. Whitney's strategy
Mrs. Vanderbilt charged. She
termed one phone call "dastardly,
a letter "diabolic," the Journa
said.
Mrs. Vanderbilt exclaimed, &C
Cording to the journal:
"This phone call and this
letter were dastardly. I wonder
what Justice Carew will think
Of this.
"Gloria and I would be TO-
Eether for 10 days more and I
had built up such high hopes I
hadn't even mentioned the case
to her. Mrs. whitney had said
she hadn't either. Then along
comes this letter.
CHANGED ATTITUDE
''My little daughter had been
told, I have no doubt, that she
had been taken away from me
by Justice Carew because her
mother had been q bad woman.
Now as I sat there and read this
letter from her aunt to her my
heart went dead.

with it. For Mrs. whitney
wrote that the higher court

her mother certainly must have

Immediately there was q
difference in her attitude
toward me. The barrier that

EDDIE HARVEY IS STRONG ADMIRER
 OF LEW AMBERS
Boxing Ability of Herkimer Lightweight Praised
 By Veteran
(sDeciaI to The DcmOcra)

N6IbCGAAh AhbO AShbhO~AsAI
 New York, Feb 23-"The nearest approach to Jem Driscoll," vouch- safed Eddie Harvey after watching Lew Ambers spear three sparring partners yesterday in spirited work out in preparation for his scheduled fifteen rounder against Sammy Fuller, at Madison Square Garden, Friday evening, March l.
 This will be Ambers' first scrap over the championship route, al- though the match is not a titular event. The winner however. has been promised q shot with light weight king Barney Ross.
 To get back to Harveys fistic praise of the Herkimer Cyclone. Eddie Is Charley Harvey's brother. Mustachio Charles managed Dris- coll, the greatest boxer that ever came out Of dear old England. Ma turally Eddie not only helped sec- ond the Briton but assisted Charlie make matches.
 Classy
 Hike Driscoll." continued Ed, "Ambers boxes instinctively, if you get what I mean. He rolls with punches, spots openings in a flash and whips over telling blows. As a boxer he is pip. Fast as greased lightning. He can take plenty of shellacking Jem was a good punch CT. and in some fights he proved a soldier under fire.
 Like the little Englishman, who used to make 'em miss by an open gate. Ambers doesn't figure to get smacked around. It used to be a treat to see the punchers try to catch up with Driscoll, let alone hit him. The force of some of the blows that would finish up around the neck almost knocked Driscoll off his feet.
 "I tell you this Ambers lad is a very promising young man in the fight business. If he can go the fif- teen rounds at top speed he should make Fuller look as if he'd never had glove on his hands.
 Tt should be mighty interest ing fight every inch of the way. Ambers is about the only kid to come along in recent months who has shown me he belongs to the old type of boxers. He has great nut and knows when and how to punch. His speed on foot is another great natural asset in his favor. Keep your eyes peeled on him and you won't be disappointed"

SKI MEET SUNDAY MAY BE
 FINAL Y SEASON
Especial to The DcmocraD

Winsted, Feb 23--The tourna- ment which the Winsted Ski club will hold tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock may be the last of the season it was announced today. March weather conditions are ex- tremely uncertain and while the hill is well covered with snow now, a sudden spring thaw might work havoc with the snow.
 The lineup being mixed, includ- ing skiers who learned their tech nique in the middle west, New Eng land and Norway, various styles of jumping will be shown. In riding down a run-in, the skier Is crouched low with the body bent forward from the hips and the skis close together. On the level take-off the skier makes a high jump which carries him over the knoll and drops him on the steep landing. When the jump Is made the skier springs when he is between three to five feet from the lip of the takc-off, although some wait until they reach the very end. In the air. according to Norwegian stylists, theskis should follow the contour of the whole hill, being parallel with the top of the knoll and dip- ping to harmonize with the line of the hill while the skier is above thelanding. Western skiers jump with the ski tips up in the air as a result of the strong winds on the western slides on which they learned. If the skis tilted down. ward in conventional style, the winds would press down on the tips and throw the skier on his face. In landing, westhern riders hit with both feet together in what they call ''fat-foot" form. As they re- gain their balance one foot is thrust forward and inc body bent to follow the slantof the hill in the remainder of the ride. The Norweglans land with one foot ahead of the other and the body inclined to follow the lines of the hill. The position of the arms de- pends on the skier who uses them te gain distance in the air and 70 keep his balance.
 Tn following the ski sport, it # as necessary to know the fine polnts Of the riding to get the full benefit of the skill displayed. as it Is to know football in order to en-

GREAT FIELD OF
 RECORD HOLDERS
 COMPETE TONIGHT
Nations Finest Amateur Athletes at New York
 Garden
BY LAWToN CARVER United Press Stan COrresDOn(

New York, Feb. 23.-(UP).- Glenn Cunningham and 10 other record holders will head 8 field of more than 300 of the nations best in the A. A. U. national champion ships at Madison Square Garden tonight.
 Before a capacity crowd of 16,- 900, performers from 20 states and 28 colleges will battle 1t out.
 Only one outstanding record holder will be absent-Keith Brown, Yale pole yaulter.
 Wholesale record smashing is Dan Ferris, A. A. U. ing at least Q half dozen new marks.
 The optimism is inspired by the class of competition down for every event, added to the fact that indoor records at metric distances are comparatively few.
 The one outstanding feature again will be the Cunninghom- Bonthron- -Venzke race, this time at 1,5O0 meters, "the metric mile" in- stead of the regulation mile over which Cunningham has wo ntwice in recent meets.
 New Mark?
 Interest, however, is in Cunning ham alone and not in the race. He holds the indoor record for the dis tance, a fine 4.52.2 and predicted today he would cut it to 3:51.
 His belief in his ability, based on recent performances, is shared by Lawson Robertson, Penn and United States Olympic team coach.
 "Glenn Cunningham today is the nearest approach to running per- lection in history. He stands peer less and invlncible," Robertson said.
 Finale
 While the lure of new record will be enough to keep Cunning ham keyed up, he will be running his last race against Bill Bonthron indoors and perhaps the last for all time as added incentive to make the gap as wide as possible.
 Bonthron will race again next summer in one meet, then quit for good.
 Three other outstanding possi- bilities for new records include the shotput, in which Jack Torrance, who has bettered 57 feet, will try to raise the indoor mark to 52 feet, 8 3-S inches; the broad jump of 25 feet. 31-4 inches, which Jesse owens of Ohio State, Eulace Pea- cock of Temple and Eddie Gordon of Iowa will tackle, and the high jump of 6 feet 8 IA inches, with Cornelius Johnson of California the chief contender.

 A greatest field of horses will compete at a mile and a quarter for the worlds richest racing purse.
 Twenty-one entries were named overnight and 1t seemed likely that at least IS would go to the post for the $100,00O added purse.
 Big Chance
 Among them was Equipoise, the favorite, who faced the golden op- portunity of becoming the greatest money winner of all time. Also there was Twenty Grand. 1881 Kentucky Derby victor, and Mate, who, like Equipoise, had the op- portnuity to overtake Sun Beau .n the total earnings column.
 Other favorites were Ladysman, Azucar, Head Play, Time Supply, Gusto, Riskulus. Experts granted, too, that other entries had the class to come through, especially In the large starting field.
 On Equipoise will be Sonny Workman, generally conceded the nations first jockey. Eilvio Couc- ci will be on Twenty Grand, Mau- rice Peters, the 1894 champion, Jack Westrope, Bobby Jones ana all the other well-known riders had a le gup in the race.
