Shawkey Is Good Twirler. Bob Shawkey. whose queer, clod- hopping walk and red flannel under- sleeves have been seen in other world series, was due to hurl for the Yankees. Bob had a bad spell in the latter part of the season and was clouted —right merrily by opposing batsmen, but he found himself be- fore the pennant scramble was over. \ Shawkey has great speed. When he is in_form he is regarded as one of the finest twirlers in either league.

This is an increase of $1.80 a gailon, and is expected to yield 090,060 additional revenue each vear. The proposal *o repeal the $2,000 ex- emption allowed corporations was aban- doned on the ground that it would work too great a hardship on the small corporations. The leaders also were said to have decided on a flat corpor- ation income tax of 15 per cent in place of a 10 and 15 per cent rate. Maximum Income Surtax. As maximum inconie surtax rate of 50 per cent would apply, it is under- stood, in the case of incomes in ex- ss of $1.000,000, instead of $500,000 proposed by the democratic sena- Existing rates above 32 per cent would be increased 2 per cent. Treasury experts estimate that the additional yield from these changes would be $50,000,000 annually. Estate tax rates would be creased to a maximum of 40 per cent over the present 25 per cent, the highest rate to apply in the case of estates valued at $100,000,000 or more. The rates between 25 and. 40 per cent would be graduated. Decision has been reached, leaders said, to repeal $40,000,000 of the nuisance taxes, but just which of these taxes are to go has not been finally decided. No Increase In Postage. It was said that there would be no increase in first-class postage rates, discussed yesterday as a possibility, and leaders have not .in mind impos- ing any new taxes, believing that the | 48 per cent, with 49 per cent on | | i | i POLO GROUNDS, New York, October 7.—The Yankees have backed the staggering Giants up against the fence in their back- yard quarsel for the world series championship, and the National Leaguers staked their all today on the big Tennessee mountaineer, Fred Toney, to stop the American League champions in their The Giants -are floundering in a|the Yanks never did any piltering, ! with the fiscal year 1924, increase the WASHINGTON, D.

New York has found it could eat its lunch and be in time to get seats in the unreserved stands. The fiction that one had to stand in line all night to get it has passed along with that other myth that the Yankees never play inside base ball. The only man who stayed up all night at the Polo Grounds was the night superintendent, Dan Brouthers, the old-time Detroit first baseman and the Babe Ruth of his_day. 5 Nick Altrock and Al Schacht of the Washington club did their comedy acts for the amusement of the early arrivals. It was announced at the clubhouse that all the seats for today’'s game had been sold and the gates to the unreserved section were closed early, every inch of available space having been filled. Rip Collins fed the Yankees his quick-breaking curves for the tech- nical visitors to get their eyes on the ball. Ruth hit a few long ones to whet the appetites of the rooters. accruing from repeals of the trans-| portation taxes, the nuisance taxes and retention of the $2,000 exemption to_corporations. | The program as drawn by leaders, which “includes repeal of the excess profits tax next January 1, and re tention of the capital stock tax, is to be laid before majority members of the Senate finance committee late to- day. Gains and Losses Shown. The changes, calculated officially for the finance committee, would re- sult as follows: Losses—Repeal of tax on transpor- tation by passenger, freight and ex- press, effective January 1, 1922, $138,- 000,000; repeal of excise taxes, $37,- 000,000. Total, $175,000,000. Gains—Restoration of capital stock tax, $75,000,000; amended income sur- tax schedule, $50,000,000; tax on dis- tilled spirits, at $4 per proof gallon, $61,000,000. Total, $186,000,000. . Formal recommendations were: An amendment to the estate tax increas- ing the rates on estates in excess of $15,000,000, which will, beginning revenues yearly by $14,500,000. Eliminate the proposed hotel tax. Repeal and reduce excise taxes to the extent of $37,000,000. Repeal taxes on sporting goods, chewing gum, electric fans, thermos bottles, smokers’ articles, hunting and shooting garments and toilet soap and soap powders. Reduce ghe tax on candy to flat rate of 3 r cent, tax on articles made of fur to 5 per cent, and elimi- nate the tax upon perfumes and essences, tooth and mouth washes, dentifrices, tooth pastes and toilet powders other than soap powders. The agreed rates on income sur- taxes, effective for the calendar year of 1922 and thereafter, follow: Incomes of $6,000 to $10,000, 1 per cent; $10,000 to $12,000, 2’ per gent; 1 _per cent additional for each extra $2,000 of income up to incomes of $100,000. - The surtax of incomes be- tween $100,000 and $150,000 would be 08¢ increases in the surtax rates, estate between $150,000 and $200,000, with taxes and excises on distilled spirits the maximum of 50 per cent levied on will make up for the loss of revenue all incomes exceeding $200,000.

WOULDVESTATE AL SEERETBODES Investigation of “each and every secret organization in the United States” was called for in a resolu- tion introduced today by Representa- tive Upshaw, democrat, Georgia. Proposed as an offset to efforts to investigate the Ku Klux Klan, Mr. Upshaw declared in a statement that he felt a sort of wounded pride in hearing so many criticism hurled at the klan, which ‘was organized in his Baker , most patriotic men I have ever known.” Declaring the public would com- mend the fairness of his resolution to investigate concurrently with the Ku Klux all other organizations holding meetings behind closed doors, Mr. Up- shaw added: ‘What People Should Know. “If imperial wizard and grand gob- lin are titles to make the plain peo- ple shudder (and they are) then these same plain people have a right to know the meaning of such other startling titles as ‘imperial potentate,’ ‘most puissant and illustrious grand muster,” ‘grand exalted ruler,’ ‘mighty chief of the wampum’ and a full thou- sand other weird titles ‘of . secret or- der officials, who seem about to fas- cinate the majority of American free- men into joining mystic conclaves of inscrutable words and deeds.” “Investigation,” he said, “might cause} embarrassment to seme, inconvenience to others and temporary strife among foolish factions, but the clouds will soon blow away, public confidence will be restored, and it seems to me every good ‘sport’ and every American will ‘welcome the light.” - e a|the Miller | bercular home will be used for other Peck out, Bancroft to Kelly. | Purposes Frisch and Young|y ASKS AN INQUIRY INTO COMPLAINTS Senator King Wants District Committee to Probe Charges Agai\nst Ballou.

MESSENGER. Sincere gratification is felt by this! government, it was indicated in offi- cial circles today, over the prospect of the dominions of Great Britain be- ing represented in the imperial dele- gation of that government to the con- ference on the limitation of arma- ments. Announcement was made in the Austmlian parliament yesterday| by Premier Hughes that he had ap- pointed George Foster Pearce, minis- ter of defense, to represent Australia, | who would sit at the same table with | the British delegates and two_ other | dominion delegates. The assumption here is that Canada and South Africa will send delegates | and ‘that presumably . Borden ~and| Smuts will represent those govern- ments respectively. It was the wish of the United States in the first place that Great Britain| would include in its delegation | dominion representatives, although | such preference could not be express- | ed by this government,-as the compo- sition of the delegations was a ques- tion strictly for decision by the Brit- ish government. The way was made, however, for dominion representation by the United States leaving all the tpowers a free hand in the size of the delegations they might choose to send. Six to Have One Vote. While Great Britain will have six delegates to the conference, three ! from the imperial -government and one each from Australia, Canada and South Africa, she will vote as a unit on all questions and superiority in numbers will not carry with ‘it pre- ponderance of voting power. Premler Misquoted. The cable from Melbourne purport- ing to quote Premier Hughes as saying that the United States had “closed the door” at first against dominion repre- sentation is thought to have been a 1 misquotation of the Australian premier, as nothing has been Intimated or said by the United States inimical to domin- fon_representaton, but on the con- trary, as far as could be done, a most gracious and welcome spirit has been manifested from the beginning toward pagsible_dominion representation. _ In diplomatic circles it is_expected that when the armament limitations conference delegates arrive in Wash- ington they may feel and possibly in- dicate interest in .the question of whether the administration will be able to “carry into effect any agreements upon questions decided by the confer- ence. This is regarded as a legitimate interrogation, In view of the refusal of the Senate to confirm the treaty of Versailles. It will be pointed out im this case, however, that the Senate will be rep- resented in the conference and that the two rival political parties in the Uniteg States will have _distingushed repre- sentaton there through party leaders, and therefort there should be every reason_to believe that a tréaty recom- mended by the conference will be Tatified by the Senate.

Zihlman of Maryland, chairman of special subcommittee of the House District committeq which held {hearings on the street railway situas tion and drafted the merger bill. ~ The report of the House District sentative Zihlman and says: Committee Files Report. “For a number of years the Public Utilities Commission of the District of Columbia, the civic and commercial crganizations of the District, as well as a number of committees of Con- gress, have been endeavoring to bring about a merger of the existing street railway systems in the District of Columbia, and establish a rate of fare which would be just and equita- ble and yield a fair rate of return on the physical value of the properties as ascertained by the Public Utilities Commission, believing that in so do- ing there could be established a low- er rate of fare and that the combined properties would be on a more equi- table and substantial basis for future rate-making. ““All these efforts have been in vain, and the Public Utilities Commission have continued to increase the rate of fare for both companies, although the Capital Traction Company was thereby receiving more than a rea- sonable return on a fair value of its property, and was not a party to the numerous petitions which have been filed asking for increased rates of fare. “Rates were advanced from 5 cents straight fare and six tickets for 25 cents, which prevailed in 1917, to 8c straight fare and four tokens for 30 cents, in 1921. and this rate for the twelve months, ending April 30, 1921, yielded the Washington Railway and Electric Company a return of 5.69 per cent upon the fair value of their property, and yielded the Capital Traction' Company a return of 10.7 per cent.

RENT COMMISSION WORK HELD VITAL Need for a rent commission in the District of Columbia was never more pronounced than at the present time, it was stated today by members of the rent board, in commenting upon one of a number of letters recently received from tenants protesting against high prices demanded for rooms in Washington. The survey conducted by the city post office, resuits of which were published in The Star yesterday, corrobcrated the contention of rent officials as to the scarcity of rental quarters, it was point- ed out. This survey showed that only 100 rentable houses in all sections of the city are vacant, and that not one of these houses was new. It was de- clared that the reason the 100 dwellings | were unoccupied was because they wers being held at rentals which tenamts in average circumstances cannot pay. NI-\)er of Persons Per Room.

CAPE TOWN, October 7.— South Africn will piace upon into a magnificent wrea: Utmost care will be tal to preserve the flowers ing | their voyage to the United States. Unless Congress comes to its re- jlief, .the War Department will be obliged to make several important modifications in its plans for the bur- ial of the body of an unknown Ameri- can soldier in the Arlington national cemetery, Armistice day. That is due to a decision by the accounting officers of the Treasury that the traveling and living expenses of troops at distant stations. and of medal-of-honor men, war veterans from each state and representatives of the American Legion and other per- manent war veteran Societies, who were to have been invited to take jpart in the ceremonies, cannot be met | out of the funds provided by the joint resolution of Congress. That measure authorized the ex- i penditure “of so much as may be nec- essary” for bringing the body of the unknown soldier from its grave in France to this city and for its burial in the Arlington Memorial Amphi- | theater. No Other Funds in Hand. There are no other funds available for the transportation and vare of the troops and specially invited guests, it is said, at the War Department, and it is planned to ask Congress to make special provision for that purpase.

The following year. in his opinion, rrovision should be made for begin- ning the construction of the building for the general accounting office, which is 2 new branch of the gov- €rnment established this year to ta over the activities of the controiler of the Treasury and the several audi- tors for the government departments Under the old organization it worked weil to have the auditors and the controller in various parts of the city. but under the new order of things it is absolutely necessary and in the in- terest of greater eficiency to have the entire ofice under one roof. cn these two buildings are pro- vided-for and construetion has stari- ed, CoL Sherrill would have Congress make provision for placing the bureau of internal revenue in a separate building, so that all the activities could be assembled for efficient man- agement. Recognizes Economy Need. In making these recommendations Col. Sherrill stated that he was not unmindful of the President's de- termination and of the urgent neces- sity for rigid economy in government operations, but he believes that im- mediate provision for these buildings is an imperative one and that it would really be economy to provide them. Other estimates coming within the wide scope of his office have been trimmed to the bone, he pointed out. but in the face of the demand for great cconomy he believes the con- struction of these buildings at the earliest possible moment is a prime necessity. For instance, Col. Sherrill pointed “out that the estimates for the extension of Rock Creek Park and Potomac Parkway had been cut from $200,000 to $100,000. and that the estimates for other parks had been greatly reduced. He said that in the park estimates only those which were absolutely necessary were included. ‘The estimates for the State, War and Navy building also were greatly re- duced. No estimate of the amounts which should be appropriated for these buildings is included in the recom- mendations, Col. Sherrill confining his recommendations to the amount of space. He pointed out to the com- mission that 500,000 square feet is needed for the building for the bu- reau of internal revenue and 300,000 square feet for the general account- ing office. Storage space for the valuable gov- ernmental records requires hundreds of thousands of square feet. Col. Sherrill pointed out that the draft records of men of the late war now occupy 500,000 square feet alone in a building in Washington barracks, and that records stored in temporary building E now occupy 225,000 square feet, to say nothing of the thousands of square feet which will be needed for the “dead” records of other gov- ernment departments. Exposed to Fire Hazards. Many of these valuable records now are stored in buildings wholly un- suited (o the purpose and constantly exposed to fire hazards. The greater part of the records are of such a na- ture that they can never be replaced, once destroyed. The housing of governmental ac- j tivities, even at this time, Col. Sher- rill said, is a serious proposition. To move out one branch of the govern- ment into some other building merely relieves crowding in one place and shifts it to another. Even the new bureau of engraving and printing is in need of more space, he said, and efforts now are being made | to relieve the conditions. Engravers and transfers at the bureau now are work- ing in cramped and poorly lighted quar- ters, whereas their work requires the best woking conditions, he pointed out. ‘The sctivities of the bureau of inter- nal revenue are scattercd and the effec- tive promotion of the work of this branch of the government is seriously hampered. Not until a separate build- ing, in which the numerous bramches can be put under one roof, is provided will it be able to work effectively. The placing of the need for general accounting quarters in one building sec- ond was due to the fact that the mecd for this was made by the law which com- bined the activities of this office. This hureau now is scattered in fifteen build- ings in various parts of the city, and there is no government space now Avail- able whick would permit of the transfer of the numerous offices to one bullding ARBUCKLE IS ARRESTED.
