Elevator Man Saves
9 Workers, Monoxide
Gas Fills BUILDING

CHICAGO, Feb. 20 G.N.s).
Edward Huffman, an elevator
operator in a loop office building,
today saved the lives Of nine Of
flee workers in the building.
Fighting drowsiness and stupor,
Huffman recalled recent news
paper stories Of similar symptoms
indicating the presence Of deadly
monoxide gas. He warned the
late-working office workers Of the
danger. After carrying them to
the street he notified the gas
company which sent a crew to
search for the leak in the mains
which was allowing the odorless
gas to spread through the build
ing. Windows in all offices were
thrown open to allow the deadly
gas to escape.
Similar gas leaks have caused
the deaths Of four persons in
their homes at Belleville, ILL.,, as

PRESIDENT
SEEKS BIG
TAX LEVY
Message to Congress
to Ask ! ,l37 Millions
For Farms, Bonus
BY GEORGE DURNO

President Roosevelt revealed to-
day he will ask Congress next
week to provide additional reve-
nues totaling 1,l37 million dollars,
Of which 500 million dollars may
be spread over a ore to three-year
period.
The President also disclosed that
the Administration hopes to i'm
pose a "windfall tax" on AAA pro.
cessing taxes recovered through
court action. which would have
the effect of returning a high per.
centage Of that money-about $50
million dollars--to the Federal
Treasury.
12O Millions for Bonus
The revenue needs, as made
necessary by the Supreme Courts
AAA decision and immediate
bonus payments, were broken
down by Mr.. Roosevelt, as follows:
For bonus payments, $780,.
100000.
Approximately $500 100000 in
permanent new taxes to replace
the outlawed processing taxes.
Approximately $50 0,000, 900
temporary taxes to make UP for
money the Government will lose
during the current year through
the processing taxes.
Mr.. Roosevelt will send a de-
tailed message on the fiscal Situa-
ton of the country to Congress
early next week, but he spent over
half an hour today outlining it to
q crowded press conference.
Windfall Taxes Explained
Chief interest revolved around
the new idea of "windfall" taxes
The expression was the Presidents
own. AS he explained 1t, he and
Treasury officials felt it only fair
and equitable that those process
sors who refused to pay taxes,
but went into court, should be put
on the same basis as those who
paid.
Treasury experts have advised
him that it will be legal to i'm
pose q very high percentage tax
on the money regained by court
action. The President was not

Army Is Reported Split
As Revolt Spreads

SHANGHAI, Feb. % UN.sO.
Fighting has broken out again in
Tokyo, according to unofficial re-
ports received here today.
Several hours later, these re-
ports had not been received by
official agencies, which continued
to deny them.
It was regarded as certain,
however, that naval landing
parties have entered Tokyo, and
this is believed to have increased
the tension in the Japanese CAPT.

to handle the military rebellion
without interference.
This aspect of the affair tended

apprehension lest other sections
Of the japanese army join the

The army revolt has spread to
Osaka, second largest city in Ja-

japanese authorities in Shang-

but observers recalled the second

Sweeping Ruling Of
Commerce Boardin
Effect in June
International News Service


Holding that the regular basic
passenger fare structure Of the
railroads throughout the country
Is unreasonable, the I.C.C. today
fixed maximum future fare
basis Of 2 cents per passenger
mile in coaches and 3 cents IL
pullman cars.
The decision ~waS six to four,
Commissioner Tate did not parti'
cipate in the ruling. The dissent
ers were Lee, Mahaffie. Meyer
and McManany.
The commission held that the
experimental fare bases in the
southern and western districts
were not unreasonable.
It further held that the Pull
man surcharge was unreasonable
and its elimination would be re-
quired.
Extra fares as now charged for
extraordinary and supplemental
or alternative Pullman service
were held to be not unreasonable.
Cl0gged in East
The commission ordered the
new rates to 50 into effect on
June 3, 1885. The old basic fare
was SO cents per mile.
The commission said:
"Due to the high basic fare
Of 3.6 cents per mile, together
with the Pullman charge, the
messenger traffic by rail did
not freely move, and is mot
nov freely moving In the East
ern district where that fare is
StiIl maintained. =
'In the Southern and West
ern districts, where the reduc.
tions were made, the passenger
traffic by rail Is freely mOv-
ing.

ger traffic and revenues Of the
railroads, generally, before as
wen IS during the depression
has been 50 severe that immedi-
ate, extraordinary measures are
imperative in order to enable
the railroads to continue In
the passenger business, and to
effectively compete for passen-
ger traffic, especially for the
increased intercity traffic Of
the future.
CUTS NECESSARY
''The passenger market Of the
future looks as promising as at
any time in the history Of the
country, but the railroads can
not hope to share reasonably
I'm that market except at fares
more nearly commensurate with
the cost and convenience Of
travel by highway and with

A personal letter from one war
buddy to another formed the
basis Of the charge by Senator
Joe T. Robinson CD of Arkan-
sas, that Mai. Gen. Frank C..
BolleS, commander Of the Seventh
Corps Area, was actively engaged
in politics." International News
Service learned today.
The letter was written by Gen
eral BolleS to former Senator
Arthur r. Robinson (R0 Of In
diana, but fell into the hands of
the Arkansas Robinson by mis-
take. In it, Bolles inferentially
committed himself to support the
former Indiana Senator for PreSi-
dent.
Bolles commanded the Thirty.
ninth Infantry in France during
the war. The Indiana Robinson
was a major in his regiment.
Friends Of the Army officer said
he had written a purely personal
letter to a former subordinate,
with whom he served in France,
and had no intention whatever
Of becoming actively engaged in
politics"
The Indiana Robinson has been
mentioned as a possible dark
