ABOLITION OF
INDIRECT TAXES
MAY CUT COSTS
Government Officials Cite Way
by Which Living Bill May
Be Lessened.
FAVORS DIRECT METHOD
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—Approxi
mately $2,000,000,000 can be lopped from
the cost of llvirg bill of the American
people in 1921 if Congress works along
right lines of rerising the tax laws, in
the opinion of many government o'fl
cials. Abolition of the many indirect
taxes on bnsincss is the method which
will affect the reduction, it is explained.
“Indirect taxes are paid aereral tlmea
by the consumer,” said Commission Eth
elbert Stewart, of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. Labor Department, today.
PRICES MULTIPLIED
TWO TO FIVEFOLD.
Approximately $.1,500,000,000 was col
lected by the Federal Government in
tcxea for the fiscal year ended June 30.
Most of this came from indirect taxes,
such as the excess profit tax, tariff and
high aurtax rates on income from busi
ness operations. For every dollar that
went into the Government's poeketbook
several others went into the poeketbook
of the business man who collected the tax
on the article he manufactured or dis
tributed, Government economists say.
According to their role indirect taxes
multiply the prices of most commodities
from two to fivefold.
The Federal Government this year must
collect at least $4,000,000,000 la taxes, ac
cording to Secretary Houston.
This means the American people must
pay from $8,000,000,000 to $15,000,000,000
In increased prices if indirect taxes are
maintained, it is estimated. One form of
direct tax favored by some officials as a
means of reducing prices is the general
tax oa all sales proposed by some lead
era
-CHEAPER FOR
CONSUMER.
“This would be mnch cheaper for the
eonanmer than the present tax system,”
Bald Joseph 8. McCoy, Government ac
tuary department “A tax paid by the
consumer at the time of purchase is not
multiplied.”
McCoy today pointed out that a 20 per
cent tax on undistributed profits of cor
porations as proposed by Secretary Hous
ton orobably would be paid by the stock
holders rather than the corporation.
"No' corporation would allow its profits
to remain undistributed,” said McCoy.
"It would be cheaper to borrow money
*at 7 and 8 per cent. The corporation se
curity holders would have to pay the
tax.”
LYNCHINGSHELD
CLOSED INCIDENT
Souvenir Hunters Finish Rope
and Begin on Tree.
SANTA ROSA, Cal., Dec. It—With of
ficial investigation promised and the ma
chinery already being oiled up a bit,
Santa Rosa today was still talking of the
lynchings of yesterday morning, but the
general attitude was that it should be
considered a closed incident.
District Attorney Hoyle promised an
investigation but pointed to the verdict
-ho ■ororer's jurv naming “unknown
persons” as responsible and clearing
S ■;i Boy sun tne sheriff s statement
that be did not recognize any of the
lynchers and showf-ig the obstacles In the
way of any action he might take.
Crowds of curious continued today to
t tie big oak tree beside the sol
diers' plot In the cemetery and to search
for souvenirs. Pieces of the ropes were
at a premium and some souvenir hunters
cut away bits of the tree.
QUICK ACTION
FOR SEPARATE
PEACE IS PLAN
(Continued From Page One.)
lleve the American open door policy In
the Orient is being threatened.
Despite American Insistence, Japan
clings to the cables centering in the
island of Yap and to the Island Itself.
Another meeting of the delegates of the
five powers who have been discussing dis
position of the former German cables
was scheduled today, but unless an agree
ment is reached soon, it was said to be
prchable that the delegates to the pres
ent conference, which was preliminary to
a world communications conference would
go home without aettllng status of the
*x-German cables. In that event those
cables would remain in the hands of
Japan, France and Great Britain until
the question was reopened.
EUROPEAN DEBT
TO COME UP SOON
WASHINGTON. Dec. IL—The question
of how Europe's indebtedness of nearly
$10,000,000,000 to the United States can be
utilised to relieve the strain of the treas
ury will be considered sooa by the Sen
ate Finance Committee, Senator McCum
ber acting chairman of the committee,
said today. Senator Smoot, Republican
member of the Finance Committee, also
said the question would be taken up soon.
Neither he nor McCumber thinks any
thing can be done at this session of Con
gress. It la believed some plan may be
decided at this session for execution when
President-elect Harding takes office.
One plan of realizing on the allied debt
is to arrange for conversion of certificate*
of Indebtedness of the foreign nations .
held by the treasury into bonds of those .
governments.
“These debts are secured by demand
certificates of indebtedness subject to 1
payment on demand,” said Senator Me- |
Cumber. “But the foreign nations hare j
no money and it is no use to demand the j
payment. In negotiation with the foreign
cations. I believe it could be arranged
to change this paper into government
bonds.”
Senator Simmons, Democrat, North
Carolina, suggested that the American
people could take up the foreign bonds
but Senator Smoot, while emphasizing the
foreign peoples are in “no shape” to un- j
derwrlte such bonds, questioned the ad
visability of putting the burden on the
people of the United States. While there
Is an evident desire on the part of Con
gress to reduce the allied indebtedness,
it was made plain today by Senator
Smoot that there is no possibility of Con
fire** rp binding the debt or any part of
it without proper liquidation.
IMMIGRATION BILL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—Changed by
vote of the House to provide suspension j
of immigration for a period of four
months. the Johnson bill designed to

stsros by the Republican leaders.
With them out of the way, the 1 House
will turn to consideration of the appro
priation bills.
The modification of the immigration
suspension period was brought about as

be chosen as the place for the twelfth
annual manual arts conference were
passed by representatives from twelve
Mississippi Valley, States and the Dis

as a checking measure and using the
unit as a basis for detailed study.
The discussion was led by Albert F.

tute, and Fred C. Whitcomb of Miami
University, Oxford, Ohio.
A summary of the deliberations of the
conference was made by Charles A. Ben
nett. editor of the Manual Training Mag
arine of Peoria, 111., In which he said:
“The high point of this conference is the
use of analysis, an outgrowth of the dis
cussions on analysis made at the last an
nual sessions In Cincinnati.’
The lack of aims among manual train
ing Instructors and Its suggested remedy
was pointed out by Mr. Bennett as one
-of the principal feature* of the meet
ings. He also 'em a hiked- the atmtUof
the Junior high school, which he divided
Into three sections: skill, knowledge ami
1 appreciation of industry. The alms of
: the continuation schools are grouped
j under the same headings, using industry
j as a background rather than the home,
he said.

CLARA HAMON
NEAR ARDMORE?
Sheriff at Dallas. Tex., Says
Woman Is Not Far From
Oklahoma Town.
DALLAS, Texas, Dec. 11.—Clara Smith
Hamon wanted on a ’charge of murder in
connection with the death of Jake L.
Ilamon, is within forty miles of Ard
more, Okla., Sheriff Dan Harston Claimed
today,. i ; /
Harston refused to explain the nature
of his information. He notified Ardmore
authortles of what he had learned, how
ever, it became • known.
Curious eyes of almost the entire na
tion have been concentrated on Ft.
Worth, El Paso and Ardmore, awaiting !
new- developments in the search that is ,
being conducted for the reputed slayer, j
Newspapermen and lawyers have been
baffled at the failure to locate the j
woman. ‘
Victor Moore, an El Paso attorney, is i
said to have been entrusted with the |
task of getting Clara Hamon hack from
Mexico, but reputed definite Information
from him that she was on her way to
Ft. Worth has been discounted,
i A member of the firm of McLean,
Scott & McLean declined to call Mr.
Moore over a long-distance telephone. It
would be too dangerous, he stated.
No warrant for the woman's arrest has I
been received by officials in Tarrant
| County, Texas, and the apparent fear
evinced by the woman goes unaccounted
for by the law firm at Ft. Worth. The'
woman would be advised to reiurn to
j Ardmore and stand trial, members of
I the firm declare.
Her acquittal of the murder ch arge Is
, a foregone conclusion with the lawyers,
j who claim Itussell Brown, prosecuting
i attorney at Ardmore, has nothing more
than circumstantial evidence on which to
; base his case. The defense, it is suld, :
; has a statement made by Hamon be- j
fore he died, claiming that the piatol
wound which killed him, was aclf
| inflicted.
The weapon used Is missing, It Is de
clared, and the prosecution Is minus the
suit of clothes said to have been worn
by Hainon the night he was shot. The
suit of clothes was sought as evidence,
1 because It was believed powder burns
! would be found.
‘ Only two through trains arrive at Ft.
[Worth daily from El Paso. The early
morning train, which was searched, did
not bring the woman. All roads lead
ing Into Ft. Worth are being watched
and passengers In incoming automobiles i
are being questioned.

i banker and former member of the Fe<l
' ernl reserve board, said today.
Warburg and other bankers meeting
i here for the day hope to complete plans
} for the corporation before night.
' “The United States has to organize
( Hself to give service to the world,” said
Warburg. “And on the other hand, the
degree to which we can realize our power
depends on foreign counties.
“Europe in Ibat respect is a nucleus,
for unless Europe can buy Argentine
goods. Argentina cannot buy United
Stetes products.
! “Our ability to break the deadlock
depends on two things:
“First—on our mobilization for the
task and the degree to which we
ran mobilize onr financial resources,
and
‘Second—on Europe’s ability to cre
ate conditions which are prerequisite
for extension of credits on a large
scale.”
Warburg Indorsed the views of Her
bert Hoover and John McHugh, New
York hanker, that Europe must settle the
German Indemnity in an Intelligent way.
“We must have also an abtual peuce
restored,” he said.
Warburg expressed the belief that the
corporation will be beneficial to farmers.
“The farmers should be behind the
corporation for its effect will be to help
setting Idle hands in foreign countries
to work and to feeding the populations
r.nd supplies will be moved from our
markets,” he said.
(Tystsllzatlon of plans and ldcns for
the formation of the corporation Is ex

Achieves Triumph
in Comic Opera
Each Number Brings Forth
Encore From Enthusiastic
Audience at Temple.
Ralph Dunbar’s opfera company, which
sang "Pinafore” here last fall had noth
ing on the Arsenal Technical Opera Clpb
which, last night, achieved , a triumph
In the comic opera at the Masonic
Temple, Spontaneous youth, fresh, clear
voices and a demonstrative audience full
of school spirit made the presentation
decidedly pleasing. Not all opera com
panies can boast nn encore to each num
ber sung. s
Miss Culasa Klnnstnau as Josephine,
the captain's daughter; Iris Hopper as
Little Buttercup, the Portsmouth Bum
boat woman, and Cousin Hebe, Sir
Joseph’s first cousin, composed the lead
ing female roles. Mlssj Klnnnman gave a
very satisfying presentation of the love
sick maiden torn between her true feel
ings. and her family pride. The duet be
tween her and her. lover, “Refrain Au
dacious Tar,” was especially well sung.
Miss Hopper possesses a delightful so
prano voice, which she used to advantage
in the . song hit of the opera, “I’m Called
Poor Little Buttercup.” Miss Kessler had
no opportunity to exhibit her acting or
singing to any extent, but she was a veri
table picture In a powdered wig and
charming dresden gown.
SCHULTZ LEADS
SAILORS’ CHORUS.
The taking leading roles were
Morrison Davis, as the Rt. Hon. Sir
Joseph Porter, K. C. 8., first Lord of

Yale Raymond, as Dick Peadeye, able
seaman; Harry Chambers, a Ralph
Rflckstraw, able seamon and lover of the
captain’s daughter, and Arnold Swain, as
the boatswain. Yale Raymond, who is
a strapping lad of some 0 feet 2 Inches,
made a big hit In hls role as the vil
lainous comedian and hls sleep bass voles
brought forth many a laugh. Morrison
Davis played the part of Sir Joseph,
pompous and bigoted, with easy natural
ness. Harry Chambers, as the lover,
looked every Inch a gallant sailor In hls
white mbldy suit and cocky hat, and
John Trlbby, in gold lace and blue uni
form, gave a nice Interpretation of the
role of the dashing captain. Arnold ,
Schultz has a particularly good voice and
*ed the sailors’ chorus well.
Possibly the biggest outburst of ap
plause was occasioned by the singing of
the maie quartette, composed of Ray
mond, Parker Burns, Kenneth Thorne
and Schultz, who between acts sang
“The Boys of the Old Brigade,” ‘‘Miissa's
In the Cold Cold Ground,” and a couple
of encores, one being “John IL-own'e

were the only games engaged In by “de
members” of the club.
“Goos!e” admitted that although he
was “de president” of the Pioneer Club,
he had no more authority than “any
other of de members,"
Judge Collins held that, the question
before the court was whether the de
fendant was guilty as an individual of
running a gaming house at r>o9Vj Indiana
avenue. Lee was found guilty In the
City Court on Sept. 7, and was fined SIOO
and costs and sentenced to thirty days.
He appealed from this Judgment to the
Criminal Court.
While .Officer Winkler was testifying
of the police raid, he said he did not
remember where the dice were now, as
he was not sure whether he turned them
over to a superior officer at headquarters
or took them home with him.
Judge Collins referred to the dice as
“African golf sticks.”
Winkler testified that he saw Lee at
tempting to put two $lO bills In hls
pocket when the police entered the room.
About 80 cents and the dice were re
covered by tho officers. Winkler testi
fied.
During tho cross-axaminatlon of Of
ficer Winkler, Attorney Bobbins asked
Winkler some startling and illuminating
questions concerning shootln’ craps and
the reputation of the Pioneer Club.
‘‘Mr. Winkler, you never beard that
this Pioneer Club ever robbed people,
did you?” asked Robbins.
Winkler answered that the club had
been only In e-xlatence a short time be
fore the raid.
It was then that Attorney Robbins pin
hls big question to Officer George Wink
ler.
“George,” asked Attorney Robbins,
“they can shoot craps without wagnrlng
any money on them?”
Judge Collins leaned forward to hear
the answer and newspapermen grabbed
their pencils.
Winkler smiled and said, “I guess they
can.”
Robbins appeared to be satisfied with
the answer.
Because several of the officers who tooir
part In the raid were reported as testi
fying in the City Court on other cages,
“Goosle’s” case was Interrupted for a
short time: arrival of the
officers.
DUBLIN TIPPED
NEXT IN LINE
Bayonet Rule Expected to Be
Spread in Ireland.
DUBLIN, Dec. 11.—Early extension of
martial law zone in Ireland was pre
dicted here today. Opinion was general
that Dublin will be included in the pro
claimed area before the end of the year.
All Ireland today resembled a vast
armed camp and the atmosphere la sur
charged with tension. Yesterday's proc
lamation of martial law over a wide Hrea
in the southwestern part of t.he country,
itacluding the county and city of Cork,
came with such stunning suddenness, that,
the bulk of the people did not begin to
realize until today the full gravity of
the situation.
One reason it is expected Dublin will
be included in the martial law zone is
that the severity of winter is driving
many gun running rebels from the coun
trysides to the cities, nnd n host of them
is expected to concentrate ill this capital.
; ,The government is expected to make
evegy effort to round them up, in con
formity with Premier Lloyd George’s
announcement In the House of Commons
! yesterday that disarmament of the re
! publicans is the government's chief aim.
Dispatches from Cork, which Is the
center of the martial law area, reported
that city quiet early today. The belief
was expressed in private telegrams from
Cork that If the proclamation means that
! the black nnd tans will be kept in stricter
, discipline than they have observed hlth
i erto, martial law will prove a blessing.
! It is estimated 800,000 persons are un
i der British army rules as a result of
i the Government’s action.
I It is understood there that additional
' British troops are coming.
CITY TRIES OUT
NEW PAVEMENT
Resurfacing Material Will Be
Used Extensively if
Successful.
Anew kind of pavement Is being tried
out by the city in the resurfacing of
Meridian street beneath the track eleva
tion at the Union Station, and, if it
