Until Such Time as it is Ready
to Revise Taxation,
Senator Says
BY GEORGE H. MANNING.
(Washington Correspondent of the
Perth Amboy Evening News.)
WASHINGTON, July 12.—It
would be well for congress to drop
revision of the tariff and immediate
ly recess until such times as It Is
ready to pass law revising taxation
and shifting the burden from earned
income to unearned Incomes and ex
penditures, Senator Walter E. Edge,
of New Jersey, asserted in a speech
n the senate yesterday.
Unless congress Is prepared to
inact tax legislation at once it would
be wcl] to take a recess instead of
keeping business and Industry In
nervous uncertainty and apprehen
sion. he said.
“It is a fact, of course, said Sen
ator Edge, “that fiscal legislation
must originate In the House, but I’m
rather Inclined to think, and I find
others of the same view, that legis
lation to determine or repeal fiscal
legislation well might originate In
the senate, and it may be well to
consider the advisability of passing
1 measure to repeal the present in
iquitous tax laws, which are chiefly
responsible for the prevailing de
pression In Industry, in business, in
labor circles and In every line of
American life.
“I recently have had opportunity
of mixing with business men and
the people at large, and I find senti
ment almost unanimous for repeal
and rewriting of the tax laws. In
deed. I think it might be well for
the members of congress to mix a
little more with the people and get
their views and their information on
conditions. If we cannot at least
discuss this question right now in
the senate, in preparation for early
action, It might not be a bad idea
to take a recess and go out among
the people and find out what they
think about things; at all events, it
would relievo business and industry
from the apprehension of uncer
tainty under which they now are
tlmost losing their nerves.
"For one thing, I would suggest
radical revision of tho income tax
ind abolishment of the excess-profits
tax. Tax unearned Incomes, by all
means, but we should not impose a
discouraging handicap on enterprise
by unduly taxing a man on his earn- ,
Ings in business or labor or Industry
or any other such personal produc
tive activity. Might It not be well
to place the tax on expenditures—
rather than on what he earns? «For
one thing, the man of wealth spends
by far the most money, even propor
tionately; for another thing, it would
encourage thrift in the land at all
events, it would .discourage the tax
evasion now In brazen practice by
men who ordinarily would not dream
of misappropriating one penny, but
who do not hesitate to dodge the
income tax collector by dividing
their fortunes among relatives and
so curtail thefr own surtaxes.
"The evils of the present tax sys
tem are so well known that It hardly
. ^wpoeasQ rv for me to go into them
In detail. It is up to congress con
structively to rewrite and amend
the laws and to do so without loss
>f further time. The President called
congress into special session In his
appreciation of the fact that the
people demand sound, business-like
legislation, based first on new tax
laws and second, if you will, on tho
tariff. A tariff bill—on which I will
not now comment—Is working Its
way painfully from the other cham
ber to this, where It is expected to lie
for months. The new tax measures
nave not been started on their course;
but, we have measure after measure
for 'emergency legislation.’ for ‘re
lief legislation’ and for ’class legis
lation.’
"The time is not.yet too late for
tax legislation to relieve, to hearten
and to' encourage and stimulate
business and industry; but, I greatly
fear that the present depression may
develop into actual stagnation unless
lomething is done very soon.”

Zboy Will be Released From
Workhouse and Wife Jailed
in His Place
That an innocent man is serving
a. term in the workhouse when it
should really be his wife, who is
doing her "bit” In that institution,
was brought to light in the police
:ourt today, when Annio Zboy, of
S02 Alpine street, was beforo the
recorder charged with neglecting
her children. Upon her testimony
her husband was yesterday sen
enced to ninety days in the work
house and also had charges of viola
ion of the prohibition law made
rgainst him, the case being turned
hver to the prosecutor's office.
The fact that Mrs. Zboy was at
'ault rather than her hustmnd, was
rrought out by an investigation of
he police, whereupon Recorder
Jarold E .Rickersgill stated that the
lusband would be released and that
he wife would serve the workhouse
erm and answer the liquor law vio
ation charge.
Joseph Zboy, the husband, was
irrested Saturday, charged with
itrocious assault and battery pre
erred by his "better half.” Upon
lis wife’s tips also the officers of

JUDGMENTONNON-SUIT
IN CIRCUIT COURT CASES
FBy Evening News Staff Correspondent.]
NEW BRUNSWICK, July 12.—
A judgment of $260 and a voluntary
non suit were the results of the two
cases heard before Judge Nelson Y.
Dungan in the circuit cdurt yester
day. There was no jury in either ac
tion.
Judgment for $260 was made in
favor of William Bilinsky. a former
resident of Old Bridge, in his case
against his brother-in-law. Peter
Kuna, and Mary Pielka. a real es
tate operator of Newark. In ren
dering his decision Judge Dungan
said the case was one of tho most
flagrant cases which had ever been
brought to his attention in which
advantage of foreigners was
taken by their countrymen. Judg
ment for $1,000 was asked but there
was no proof that the property in
dispute was worth that amount.
Tho caso ending in voluntary non
suit was that of Sigmund Spltzer. of
Perth Amboy, against Adolph Schef
fier, of South Rvier, involving the
ownership of a. Delco lighting out
fit. The fact that several of his most
important witnesses failed to appear
was the reason for the non suit ac
cepted by Spltzer.

the master builders with the idea In
view of stimulating the building
business, which at the time was at
a standstill in this city.
Trior to May 1. when the men
refused to work for less money and
the master builders refused to con

been served on the unions of the
desired reductions and many con

unions and the master builders, but
no understanding could be reached.
Between May 1 and May 18 several
more conferences were held, but
these also proved unsuccessful.
On May 18, open-shop conditions
were declared to prevail in this city
by the master builders, and from
that time until tho present these
conditions still continue to exist
During the time that has elapsed
since the open shop was declared
many of the master builders have

Phone Conversation Heard
in Store Here Followed up
in Torrens Case
Late developments In the Torrens
kidnapping case have shed some
light upon the mysterious telephone
call made to Pompton Lakes on
Sunday afternoon from the White
Cross Pharmacy at 37S State street
by a man answering to the descrip
tion of Alfred Torrens, the father of
the child and one of her kidnappers.
It has been Drought out that the
man who made the call got In touch
with Mrs. Gurnee, a neighbor of the
Simpsons at Pompton Lakes. He
gave his name as Alfred Torrens and
wanted to speak to his wife. Unable
to reach his wife directly, he asked
Mrs. Gurnee to tell her that the baby
had a nurse and a doctor and that
he still loved his wife, who left him
in January and went back to her
parents. Torrens wound up the con
versation by saying "I don’t know
what will happen to me now."
Mrs. Gurnee immediately tele
phoned to the police here'and they
went to the drug store where the call
had been traced, but Torrens had
gone.
On the theory that the child is
held here, or near here. Chief of
Police Bert Miller of Pompton Lakes
spent yesterday helping the Perth
Amboy police in their hunt for her.
Joseph Brolfein, 451 State street,
a clerk In the pharmacy, said that as
he was waiting upon a customer be
tween 1:30 and 2:00 o’clock Sunday
afternoon a man, coming from the
direction of Smith street, entered the
store and went into the telephone
booth. He closed the door of the
booth but Brolfein distinctly heard
him call Pompton Lakes and engage
in conversation with a party there.
Snatches of speeches heard by
Brolfein Included the following:
"You do your part and I’ll do mine;”
"The baby is all right;" "You go and
see Bill about it as soon as you can”
and "I don't know what will happen
to me.”
booth the man requested change for
a dollar bill. Taking the change, he
re-entered the booth and again
called Pompton Lakes, according to
Brolfein. The clerk could not say
whether or not the man reached
Pompton Lakes the second time, but
he said that the man suddenly
slammed down the receiver, came
hurriedly out of the booth and went
hastily out of the store, turning to
the left in the direction of Smith
street.
Brolfein described the man as
about six feet in height, with dark,
possibly black, hair; dark complex
ion and smooth shaven. He wore
no coat or hat, but had on a brown
striped silk shirt and white soft
collar, with a four-in-hand tie. His
trousers were dark In color, Brolfein
thought.
Captain Long was not notified
through the drug store, but received
a call from Pompton Lakes through
a woman representing Mrs. Torrens,
the mother of the missing child.

Butler Hears Briand
PARIS, July 12—President Nich
olas Murray Butler, of Columbia
University, was present in the senate
when Premier Briand made an
nouncement of this government’s
willingness to receive President
Harding's invitation to a disarma
ment conference. This afternoon
he had appointment with President
Millerand. These talks followed
similar ones with Premier Lloyd
George at Chequers' court during
the past week.
Mr. Butler said it seemed to him
that both public and official opinion
welcomed President Harding's ac
tion with more enthusiasm and re
lief than any event since the armis
tice. There is a very generous feel
ing he added that this conference
may be the beginning of the general
constructive policy in international
affairs which President Harding
has been developing."
Grey May Act tor British
[By The Associated Press. 1.
LONDON, July 12:—Viscount
Grey of Fallodon, who was British,
secretary of state lor foreign affairs
when the world war began, may lead
Great Britain’s delegates to the dis
armament conference in Washington
as the result of President Harding's
proposals to the allied nations. The
newspapers believe that a statesman
at least of the type of Viscount Grey
should be chosen.
After preliminary and technical
work of the conference is completed
the Mail said Premier Lloyd George
may go to the United States to at
tend the final moulding of the agree-,
ment. It appears to bo the consen
sus of opinion that the conference
will be held during the autumn or
early in 1922.
Seldom have such scenes been
witnessed as that enacted yestsuday
In the House of Commons when
Lloyd George told of the invitation.
It was apparent that Downing street
looked upon the invitation to the
allied nations as most momentous.

Mrs. Kaber’s Sister Declares
She Was Insane at Time
Husband Was Murdered
CLEVELAND, O., July 12:—The
state’s contention that Eva C. Kaber
attempted to kill her husband, Dan
iel S. Kaber, by poisoning was at
tacked by the defense In an initial
effort to discredit the state's case.
The first witness was Roy A. Daniels,
the undertaker who prepared the
body for burial.
He told of the autopsy conducted
at the county morgue at which all
internal organs were removed. He
asserted that he used a hardening
compound on the organs, using two
thirds of a five-pound bog. Mrs.
Kaber appeared more cheerful as
testimony more favorable to her was
being presented.
That Mrs. Kaber was Insane at
the time her husband was murder
ed, was the opinion expressed by her
sister, Mrs. H. A. McGinnis, She
declared that Mrs. Kaber was always
■‘temperamental” and that while at
school would slap the other children
and pull their hair. At home, she
said. Mrs. Kaber’s eye had at time*
a "wild look.” Mrs. Kaber cried as
her sister testified. Through Will
iam Oehlstrom, a masseur, the de
fendant attempted to show that he
had treated Mrs. Kaber for ner
vousness several years ago.
