HUMAN FLY T0 SCALEVAN HORN Jack Hughes Will hibition Give Ex- Jack ‘Hughes, human fly, will scale the Van Horn hotel at 7 o'clock this evening. Hughes will walk right up the front of the building, he says, climbing the four story-structure without the use of ropes or appliances of any kind. When. he came tj Bismarck today the human fly had newspaper clip- pings of ascents of high buildings made in many different states. He has operated in every state in the union except Washington and Oregon, he said, and he is now on his way to the Pacific coast where he will do stunts for moving pictures, The highest building he _ ever climbed, he said, was the 32-story Dime Savings bank building in De- troit, Mich.. He reached the top in an hour and 15 minutes, having to pause {> rest at times while clinging to a cornice. Scaling buildings is not Hughes’ only hair-raising stunt, however. A newspaper clipping told of a para- chute leap from an airplane which he makes, ‘Placed in a straight-jacket in a moving automobile, he is caught by a ring bound round his ankles, lifted into the air several thousand feet, where he frees himself, climbs up a rope to the airplane and makes the parachute leap.

MINIMUM TAX OF $3,200,000,000 IS AIMOF® 9 P COMMITTEEMEN Washington, Sept. 10—A minimum total tax of $3,200,000,000 for his fiscal year is the aim of the Repub- lican members of the senate finance committee in revising the house tax bill, Chairman Penrose said after a conference of majority committeemen. This is approximately $100,000,000 less than treasury experts have fig- ured the house measure would yield, but is the total which Secretary Mellon has told the committee will be necessary, provided the economies in departmental expenditures agreed upon at the White House conference last month are effected. No Agreement Reached “either tho whole committee, which met yesterday morning, nor the ma- | jority members who were in session this afternoon, reached any agreement on specific revisions proposed yester- day by Secretary Mellon. Democratic members launched their fight against retroactive repeal of the excess pro- fits tax, reduction of the income sur- of the transportation taxes at half the present rates, After the meeting of the majority members, Senator Penrose said that while the drift of sentiment among the Republicans seemed to be in fa- vor of repeal of the profits tax as of last January 1, the situation was such. that the drift might change in the direction of repeal, as of next Jan- uary 1, as pnovided for in the house measure, Lloyd Rusell, 6 years old, son: taxs to 25 per cent, and restoration | OWN DEAD IN ‘AUTOSALESMEN ARE MURDERED j ‘Former Football Star’s Body Is! ay AN AUTO Taken From Des Plaines b River DELIVERING 1 1 i shprtly after being.

She gave her children the chance for expresson that she did not have.” Behind these words of Lloyd Mor- fan, recently awarded che fourteenth Paris prize of the Academie des Beaux-Arts. for architecture, is a mother story of appealing interest. “I have always lived the artisti life through my children,” s: Mr: Jeannette Morgan, the mother. “They are the fulfillment of the things I would have liked to be. “Don’t say I am a poor widow. | I am and have been the 1ichest womaa in the world.
