HORNSBY, M'PHA|L
|ND|CT 'CHEATERS'
No Cases Apt to Be Made
Against Allen, Earnshaw,
+ Accused HurIers.
BY JOHN LARDNER.

BY JOHN LhhDNEh.
u vEW YORK, May 1.-THE old
M spitball argument. If not the
N spitball itself, Is back In our
J. Y midst again after brief vaca-
ton In the region Of forgotten topics.
This time our old friend the splitter
forms the subject of a couple powerful
accusations by two Of the glibbest club
house lawyers in base ball.
For the prosecution, we have Law
renee 8. MacPhail, bashful business
manager of the Cincinnati Reds. and
Rogers Hornsby, equally bashful pilot
of the st. Louis Browns.
For the defense, we have Johnny
Allen and George Earnshaw, a pair OF
innocent looking pitchers who perform
for the Cleveland and Brooklyn clubs,
respectively.
Most of the oratory is being delivered
by the prosecution. Mr.. MacPhail and
Mr. Hornsby are strong, willing takers,
and the gist of their conversation this
week seems to be that If Mr.. Earnshaw
and Mr. Allen are not kept under con-
stant observation with a hawk-like eye
they will try to get away with lot OF
very suspicious stuff; mark my words.

numerous firing tests have been
highly enthusiastic. The army ord
nance is studying a similar gun as
an anti-aircraft weapon, anti-tank

The gun shoots a cartridge more
than a foot long and a projectile
three inches long, one and one-tenth
inches across, filled with high ex-
plosive. 1t operates as a machine
gun, firing up to $50 times a minute.
The projectiles. weighing just one
pound each, are fitted with fuses so
sensitive that they detonate the high
explosive when they strike anything
more solid than air.

TAXPROPOSAL

BIZ tphcd Press
WASHINGTON March 5.-Con-
gresslonal tax experts received from

n plan for temporary two-year proc
essing taxes on 33 farm products,
designed to raise 1921 900 900 annu-
ally.
At the same time Treasury ex-
perts submitted schedules showing
the amount of revenue which might
be derived through wide changes IN
personal income tax provisions and
through a general manufacturers
excise levy.
The House Ways and Means Sub
committee, which received the in
come and sales tax suggestions,
made clear these were 'jusC sugges-
tons"
Process Tax Received Seriously
The processing tax levy. however.
received more serious consideration
Such taxes would raise approx
mately $442 100000 of the $5170OO,-
900 total which President Roosevelt
told Congress the Treasury needed
to make up losses due to the
Supreme Court AAA decision.
The remainder of the Treasury
loss would be made up under his
suggestions by a tax on 'windfall"
revenue of professors who received
back impounded processing taxes or
failed to pay the taxes.
Revenue Estimated at $500, 200, 900
Maximum revenue from this
source was estimated at about $780,
100000 under a 90 per cent gross
income tax. Both processing levies
and the "windfall" tax would pro-
vide $l25 100000 more revenue than
the President estimated as the
Treasury need.
The subcommittee of the House
Ways and Means Committee, which
is studying the tax situation, now
has before it estimates on the taxes
proposed by the President which
would raise $l,041 100000 in new
revenue for one year, $841 900 900
the second year and 100000 900
thereafter. This contrasted with
President Roosevelt'S estimate of
needs of 792,000,O00 annually for
three years and $500, 100000 there
after.
The tax plans and new revenue
to be produced:
Corporate surplus tax averaging
SO 1-3 per cent, $620000,000.
W'ndfall tax, 90 per cent Zone

Several Proposals to Be Made
1t became evident that the sub
committee would receive variety
of tax schedules and proposals from
which it would be able to select
those for use in the requested tax
bill
Treasury experts submitted to the
committee alternative proposals to
supplant the proposed tax on cor
porate surpluseS. These included
various general manufacturers ex-
ciSeS. Another table called for a
sharp increase in individual income
