Upper Half Total Loss
The upper half of the structure
occupied by the Arcade rooms, is
considered total loss, while the
street level, though but little struck
by the fire, suffered severely from
the great quantities of water poured
upon the blaze.

to the scene of the blaze despite the

Disappointing income tar returns

pdrtment inquiry into causes. Un-

means OF reducing tar liability, de-
partment placed before special con-
0ressional committee names OF
numerous wealthy persons who
haze applied these demces.
Committee openly inDited all
those named to appear il they 80
desired: also considered subpoena
ing some whose actions might have
been considered illegal.
By the Associated Press.
Chairman Doughton said today
the Congressional Tax Inquiry Com
mittee has abandoned any idea of
subpoenaing individuals described by
Treasury officials as having avoided
taxes.
None has volunteered to testify,
Doughton said.
I'VE have sufficient information,
believe he said, "on which to base
legislation designed to reduce tax
avoidance"
The committee will meet in closed
session early next week. BY that
time, Doughton asserted. congress
sional bill drafters expect to have
measures ready for submission.
The chairman predicted Congress
would pass legislation to close tax
loopholes this session even though
the death Of Senate Leader Robinson
should hasten adjournment.
Protest Put in Record.
One protest. from Jessie Ball du
Pont, wife of the late Alfred I. Du
Pont, went into the committee
records today
1t replied to testimony of Arthur
L. Kent, Treasury attorney. that Du
Pont or his estate would have paid
100000 more in taxes from 1881 to
1885 had he not transferred more
than $l,O000o0 worth of property to
Nemours. Inc. personal holding
company.
The property, Kent said. consisted
primarily of 'palatial residence at
Wilmington. Del" He said $4,000, ,OOO
Of stock was transferred to the hold
ing company and its income used tc
meet the expenses of the mansion"
These expenses which about eoualed
the income from the securities Kent
said, were deducted from the holding
companys taxable income, so the lat
ter paid practically no tax"
Statement Declared Unjust.
Mrs. du Pont wired the committee
that Kents statement and the infer
ences to be drawn from it ARE mis-
leading, unwarranted and unjust"
Not a dollar of the income OF
Nemours, Inc" she said, "or from
the securities mentioned was
ever used in the payment of any house.
hold expense of Mr.. du Pont or of any
member of his family"
She said Du Pont had expected TO
construct on part of his Delaware
property the first unit Of a hospital
for crippled children and that he pro-
vided in his will for the structure.
