Spy Ring

ROME, Jan. 20 Q.N.sJ.-AV vast
Soviet spy ring, headed by Rus
sian engineer reputed to be a
cousin of Josef Stain, was
smashed today by Fascist secret
police.
Grigor Grigoriev, 40, the ring,
leader, was sentenced to 80 years
in prison. The remaining 13 mem
bers, of whom one is a Pole, re-
Iceived sentences ranging from 10
to 20 years.
The ring operated, according to
Fascist charges, under cover of an
official Russian delegation with
headquarters at Milan.
The spies were tried in secret by
special tribunal. Results Of such
trials are never published in Italy
Fascist sources said, however
that the ring had been operating
flor nearly two years. Grigoriev, il
was alleged, purchased valuable
military information with huge
bribeS.
In some cases he paid as higf
as 100000 lire $22,0O0) for Italiar
secrets.
Discovery of the rings opera

Senator Norris in Washington yes

Meanwhile, Carol Holderman,

WESTERN BOLT
FACES BACKERS
|OF LYNCH BILL
.4SenatorS Who favored
Measure Waiver
BY ARTHUR HACHTEN

G.N.S) Senate support for the
Wagner-Van Nuys antilynching bill
began to waver today, with West
ern Democrats threatening to bolt
into the opposition camp.
Four Western Senators hereto
fore counted as definitely for the
bill as 1t stands were reported
to have indicated they are not
satisfied with 1t now. Senator
Gillette DJ, Iowa, disclosed he
would vote against the bill unless
it Is substantially modified.
FEAR PARTY SPLIT
A feeling that the resentment of
the South against Northern Demo
Gratis for supporting the bill may
result in a serious party split was
said to have influenced several
Northerners to favor stdetracking
the bitterly-fought bill.
Its sponsors, however, refused
to concede the bill to be in jeop-
ardy. Confident prediction Of its
passage came from Senator Van
Nuys Cd, Indiana, co-author.
In the meantime, 1eather-Tmged
Southern Senators today boaSted
they would show the Senate some
new wrinkles in filibustering in
their battle to talk the bill tc
death.
Already Senator Ellender. O0
of Louisiana has hung, up a. new
record in marathon speaking in
the Senate on tie score Of confin-
ing remarks to the measure, old

Adopting conciliatory tone
and praiSing the program of thu
tax subcommittee as an improve
ment over present law, the spokes
men for organized business sale
the tax relief provided is not
enough.
D. C. ATTORNEY HEARD
Fred H. Clausen, of Horizon
Wis, chairman of the United
States Chambers Committee or
Federal Finance, headed its list
of witnesses. They included Ellis
worth C. Alvord, Washington law
yer; Henry B. Fernald, of New
York, and Raymond H. Berry, ot
Detroit.
The United States Chamber
position was stated as follows:
l. Proposed revision of undis-
tributed profits tax grants relief
to business, but The tax should
be repealed outright.
2. The proposed revision of
capital gains taxes also is an
improvement, but does not go
far enough.
3. Changes in estate and gift
taxes unnecessarily place bur-
den upon comparatively small
estates.
Clausen described the report CT
the tax subcommittee as "a sin
cere effort on your part, under
very hampering limitations, to deal
with a serious situation"
RAPID RISE CITED
He pointed out that taxes on
business have leaped 30 per cent
in two years.
"The total volume of all taxes
Federal, State, and local for
the year 1886 was about $1O,-
OO,O00,000," said Clausen. 1--WE
estimate that in the year 1898
they will exceed $13,5OO, ,0OO, 900,
an increase within two years of
80 per cent.
This amount will represent
fully 20 per cent of the esti-
mated national income for the
current year, a dangerously high
percentage"
Abandoning previous strong de.
mands for an immediate balanced
budget, the chamber spokesman
said a deficit due to tax relief for
corporations would do more to
stimulate employment than incur
ring a deficit for relief purposes
SEES RECESSION CAUSE
Clausen declared "there is
general evidence in the business
world that the present method
of levying the corporation in
come tax has contributed di-
rectly to the severity of the re-
cent recession"
He suggested outright repeal OF
the profits tax, and an increase
in the corporation income taz
rate from 16 to II per cent.
Ellsworth Alvord, who followed
Clausen, told the committee thai
the primary objective of tax re
vision should be "help stop the
recession" He said that if the
recession is not stopped, the Gov
ernment will lose $1,000,000 ,O0(
in taxes.
He urged repeal of "the thor
oughly discredited undistributec
profits tax" retroactive relie1
from inequities, a flat corporation
tax, reduction of individual sur
taxes to a maximum of 40 PEI
cent, a flat 121a per cent on capi
tai gains, and provision for carry
over of losses.

FIGHT BREWING.
ON EARLE PLAN
BY WILLIAM s. NEAL

0.N.SD. Proposal of Governor
Earle of Pennsylvania for nation
alization of the anthracite coal in
dustry today appeared likely tU
develop into a national issue
which will provoke a bitter fight
in Congress.
The plan, which the governor
plans to lay before President
Roosevelt next week, was praised
by some as a sane policy" and
attacked by others as "a step to-
ward socializing the nation"
The Pennsylvania delegation in
Congress split on the issue, with
leaders of the delegation adopting
a cautious attitude pending dis
closure of the attitude of Presi,
dent Roosevelt and conferences
here.
REFUSE COMMENT
Senator Guffey and Representa-
tive Boland, Pennsylvania Demo
Gratis and authors of the Guffey-
Boland bills to create a "httle
NRA" for the anthracite indus
try, withheld comment. They had
planned to go to the White House
in the near future seeking presi.
Dental approval for their pro-
gram.
Representative Francis Walter
CD of Pennsylvania, representing
an anthracite region, charged
Governor Earle is trying to 'pass
the buck" to Congress.
'T haven't studied the plan
carefully, but from what 1 see
of it in the newspapers don't
see why change in ownership
would cure sick industry" said
4 Walter.
"The President has pointed out
that property values were writ
ten up so greatly that the mines
are gold bricks instead Of coal
mines. I think the thing to do
is to amend the Vinson-Guffey
bituminous coal act to include
anthracite. That is a simple
way and is about the only thing
that could be enacted in this
session of Congress.
GILDEA FAVORS IT
:, While Representative Gildea CD
of Pennsylvania, representing an
anthracite district, endorsed the
Earle plan, Representative Elan
merry, another anthracite Repre-
Sentative. declined to comment.

3 Gigantic
BGttleships
Sought
By ROBERT G. NIXON

UN.SD High naval officials
have recommended to President
Roosevelt construction of three OF
the worlds largest and most
formidable battleships under his
projected record peacetime ma
tional defense program, it was
learned today.
The program, if carried out, as
appears probable, will mean def
mite abandonment of the $4,000,
ton limit for capital ships imposed
by the London Naval Treaty OF
1895.
18-INCH GUNS
Extensive conversations between
the American and British govern,
ments over departure from the
treaty limitations through inVoca-
ton Of the escalator, or escape"
clause, have been proceeding IN
London.
The new battleships, two OF
which are provided under the 1899
naval budget, would be in excess
of O,OOO tons. A possibility exists
that it may prove necessary to arm
these vessels with 18-inch guns as
it is known that Japan, in 1885,
constructed an experimental IL
inch naval rifle.
MESSAGE DELAYED
The move for larger battleships
has been necessitated as a protec-
tive measure against Japan, which
according to information reaching
here, has begun construction or
authorized four new battleships OF
q displacement said to range be
tween 1000 and $4,000 tons.
President Roosevelt has delayed
sending his scheduled special mes,
sage on national defense to Con.
gress pending receipt of a report
from London on the battleShip
tonnage situation.
