4 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. O, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1921 DRENTAL SPLENDOR SURROUNDS WALES Crown Prince Dined and Feted in Midst of Glitter of Priceless ‘Jewels. By the Associated Press. UDAIPUR, India, November 25.— The Prince of Wales on his tour of India camped here today. He was tendered a banquet by the Maharana of Udaipur, which was given with the customary magnificence of Indian feasts. Replylng to a toast to his health, the prince made an appropriate speech which was filled with historical al- lusions to India. He recalled the un- wavering friendship of the rajput states and the valuable services ren- dered by the maharana during the world war. From there the young prince was driven in a barouche, scin. tillating with gold and jewels, through the elaborately decorated streets, in which were cheering thou- sands. At one point was arranged the bat- tery of famous gold and silver guns with silver carriages and richly ca- parisoned horses, together with six collosal elephants bearing silver and gilded thrones, each one of which represented a fortune. _ Durbar Follows Procession. The procession was followed by the durbar (as the official reception is called), which took place in Durbar Hall, with its carpeted gold and walls of marble and teak. Everywhere were gorgeously attired dignitaries who participate in the state ceremonies reserved for British royalty. During the afternoon there was a garden party in the spacious grounds of the palace, wherein musicians, acrobats and dancers entertained. The prince also was shown the crown jewels and saw displayed the glitter- ing mass of gems of inestimable value. Tonight the city was illuminated on the same scale of lavish magnificence. For hours the capitol was a blaze of colored fires, with the city's multi- tudes wandering in the midst of glowing colonnades, minarets and pylons. This is a sample of the greetings that the Prince of Wales is expected to meet throughout India. FALUREBLANED | ONU.S.MONTIONS Ammunition, Guns and Pianes Worthless, Say Spanish Authorities. By the Associated Press. MADRID, November 25.—El Sol to- day published a semli-official declara- tion, which also appeared in Barce- lona newspapers, stating that all am- munition acquired in the United States for use In the Moroccan campaign ‘was found to be unfit for use. Other references pronouncing American ma- chine guns to be defective and Ameri- can airplanes worthless for military purposes have aroused attention in some quarters which are inclined to attribute at least some blame for the Moroccan disaster to these causes. An authoritative-source is respon- sible for the statement that the Span- jsh army purchasing commission in the United States acquired discarded stocks, with full knowledge of their quality, and that Spanish inspectors passed them. EX-SOLDIERS REACH LONDON. Charge Spanish Officers Used Sticks When Verbal Orders Failed. LONDON, November 25.—Fifty men, recruited in London in September for service with the foreign legion of the Spanish army in its campaign against the Moors, returned to London today, yery much dejected by their experi- ice. A few of the men are ex-mem- ers of the Canadian forces. * They declare that they were in the thick of the fighting in Morocco and lived in a state of semi-starvation. Being unable to understand Spanish ‘words of command, the men say, they ‘were beaten with sticks, while wound- men were placed in verminous Beds and left unattended for days. They add that every promise made by the Spanish authorities was broken. ‘The RBritish foreign office tonight disclaimed responsibility, although it was acknowledged that when com- plaints had arrived of the treatment accorded the men the foreign office made representations to the Spanish authorities, who immediately released all those desiring to return io Eng- Jand. * Recruits who made Inquiries at the foreign office before enlisting ‘were warned they would meet condi- tions likely to prove exacting to British subjects. TRIBAL BANDS DISPERSE. Beni Said Rebels Ready to Disband ‘When Troops Arrive. MELILIA, Morocco, November 25. ative reports relative to military operations since the capture.by the Spaniards of Ras Tedua indicate that e enemy tribal groups are rapidly ispersing. The Beni Said tribesmen are declared to be ready to submit as soon as Spanish troops invade their territory. Fugitives from Ras_ Tedua have taken refuge on Mount Mauro. PRESIDENT SENDS RADIO TO ALUMNI OF OHIO U. Salutes Them as Fellow Students of Life in Message to Eighty Gatherings. COLUMBUS, Ohio, November 26.— A message from President Harding, @ent from the Arlington wireless sta- tion to gatherings of Ohio State Uni- versity alumni in more than eighty American cities in celebration of “Ohio State day,” was received last night. The message follows: “To the men and women of Ohio State University: “It gives me pleasure to greet you, as you are assembled in hundreds of communities throughout this country and the world honoring the state uni- versity of our state. Education, whether it be acquired in the class- room or in the occupations of later life, should enable men and women to flve themselves more freely and fully the progress of mankind. It must show us how best to serve others, nor should we tolerate the thought that the process of education ever ends. It is continuous and the results are everlasting. You have learned ‘ these truths, and, therefore, I salute * as fellow students of life. (Signed) “WARREN G.

DENES FRCTON | WITH 01, HOOD Relations Amicable, Presi- dent of Philippine Senate Cables Porto Rican. By the Associated Press. MANILA, November 26.—Relations between Governor General Leonard {Wood and the Philippine senate are entirely amicable, Manuel L. Quezon, president of the senate, todsy in- formed President Barcelo of the Porto Rican senate in a cablegram replying to an inquiry. Mr. Barce- lo's inquiry was apparently prompt- ied by alleged differences between Gov. Wood and the senate over Gov. ‘Wood's appointments and by the mis- understandings betweet Gov. Reily of Porto Rico and members of the Porto Rican legislature. Mr. Barcelo's cable- gram follows: “We are interested in knowing | what conditions have been reached to settle differences between Gov. Wood and the senate over appoint- ments. Porto Rico is facing a sim- ilar problem.” Mr. Quezon replied: “The senate has no differences nor never had any with Gov. Wood. Information to the contrary is false. A dispatch from Manila Novem- ber 9 reported that the senate in cauous had decided to withhold con- firmation of a number of Gov. Wood's appointments, senators complaining that they had not been consulted in the selections. However, confirma- tion of all the appointments was re- ported November 15. ‘. SEES LACK OF SINCER:TY ON ILLITERACY PRGBLEM Mrs. Carrie Chapmsan Catt Raps Both Major Political Parties, in Addressing Convention. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 26—Sin- cerity of politicians in the two major | parties in dealing with illiteracy was questioned by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt at the illiteracy conference of the eastern states. In a criticism of the Sterling-Tow- ner illiteracy bill before Congress, Mrs. Catt declared that she agreed with every provision of the bill, butI that psychologically it was a bad bill. ¢ 1ts form could not be worse, she sald. “Politicians tell us,” she continued, “that they would do anything to wipe out illiteracy and to get rid of it. But there are few of them who do not realize that one of their chief sources of power lies in the manipulation en bloc of the illiterate vote, and so they will not outwardly oppose an illit- eracy measure, but they will seek whenever possible to find fault with our methods, to question our system of getting rid of it and to block effectively any legal measure whlchl would accomplish what we wish to do.” Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart, chair- man of the illiteracy commission of the National Education Association, estimated the illiterates in the eau!-' ern states at 1,230,024. i ‘Educators 'from eleven states are attending the two-day conference. —_— CHARGE OF LIQUOR PLOT GOES BEFORE GRAND JURY Officials in Philadelphia Allege Scheme to Substitute Water for Spirits Taken From Bond. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, November Evidence gathered by prohibition e forcement officials bearing on an al- leged plot to substitute water for whisky and alcohol withdrawn from bond for export will be presented to a federal grand jury, Bobert H. Abel, prohibition officlal announced. “There is no doubt” he said, “that some prominent business men and government officials will be fncrim- inated.” Details of the alleged plan presented to him to ship water to foreign eoun-l tries under his export license while the whisky and alcohol the water represented was disposed of in_the United States were outlined by H. H. Smith at @ hearing before prohibition enforcement _officers, to determine whether Smith’s export license is to be_revoked. The proposal was made, Mr. Smith testified, by a man named as “Dr. George ' Kperiella,” who introduced him <o eight other men holding per- mits for withdrawal of liquor from bond. According to the plan, he sald, the alleged conspirators were to pool their withdrawal permits and ~ap- parently turn the whisky and alcohol over to Smith for export. In reality, according to the alleged plot, Smith would_export water and the whisky and alcohol would be sold to boot- leggers.

Milady will be able to save consid- erable In her cost of living under the new tax law, and heads of families will get additional exemptions, but in- dividuals without dependents get no relief from Income taxes, although they will share In the payment of taxes tacked onto articles which they buy. ‘The revenue will be lessened $425,- 000,000 by the new act, according to the figures of the government actua- ries. The people have been told that they will have that much less in taxes to pay. But the man in the street and milady, too, wants to know just how he and she will save by the law. Income Tax Provision. The provision of the new law which probably affects directly the greater number of people L The unmarried person, as stated, still pays a tax of 4 per cent on the net: income above $1,000, the same as un- der the old law, but above $5,000, 8 r cent. pe'l‘he head of a family—that is, mar- ried men, or even any single person with dependents—has had his exemption in- creased from $2,000 to $2,500, and an additional exemption of $400 for each minor child or dependent other than his wife. The exemption for this cause in the present is $200 for each This income tax feature of the law goes into effect December 31, of this year, and covers the income In oth- er words, those who have to pay in- come taxes will feel the benefit of the new law when they file their returns next March. The excess profits 'tax, which was a source of much complaint, has been entirely abolished, but there has been added to the corporation tax an addi- tional 2% per cent in its place, mak- ing the total corporation tax now 1234 per cent, instead of the 10 per cent, under the current law. This feature also applies to the calendar year of 1922, Tax Off Soft Drinks. The tax of 8 per cent on passenger transportation, including Pullman fares, express and oil by pipe lines becomes fnoperative January 1 next, as well as the 5 per cent tax on freight. Passengers by rail and shippers will feel the effect of this tax beginning next year. When one goes to the soda fountain or soft drink emporium for a drink no longer will he have to dig in his pockets for the necessary pennies to pay for the drink. The tax has been materially reduced and is paid by the manufacturer. On non-alcoholic beverages, called cereal beverages, such as beer and malt, from which the alcohol has been extracted to comply with the prohi- bition laws, and on which the present tax is 15 per cent, the tax will be 2 cents a gallon. The 10 per cent tax on soft drinks has been reduced to 2 oents a gallon for the sirups and 4 eents a pound for the carbonic acid gas used. The tax of 1 cent for each drink costing 10 cents or. a fraction thereof is abolished by the new law and its effects will be felt with the beginning of the new year. No Levy om Furs. Table and mineral waters -selling for 10 cents or more a gallon are taxed under the new law at 2 cents a gallon. Bottled goods, so-called “pop,” which sold over the soda foun- tains, is to be be paid for at the rate or 9 cents a gallon on the sirups used and 4 cents a pound for the carbonic gas, while the bottlers will pay only 5 cents a gallon tax on the sirups. This is one of the discrim- inations pointed out in the law. A manufacturer might make sirup for both the druggist and the bottler. On that he sells to the druggist he must pay 9 cents a gallon tax and on that he sells to the bottler he must pay only 5 cents a gallon tax. Milady will not have to pay the 10 per cent tax after the first of the year for the fine furs she wears for warmth. By this one repeal alone the government figures that it will lose $9,000,000 a year. The tax of 3 per cent on toilet soaps and powders is eliminated by the new law on January 1 next, as well as the 10 per cent tax on works of art. Under the present law, every time a work of art changed hands it was taxed 10 per cent, but under the new law there will be only one tax of 5 per cent, to be paid by the “ultimate buyer” or art collector. Luxury Taxes Removed. The so-called luxury taxes on cloth- ing costing above certain amounts were abolished, but the tax on rugs, carpets, trunks, suit cases, purses, etc., was allowed to rel’x;nln.1!l‘le mi applying to above certain minimum ugfe?'neé‘ in the law, based on the manufacturers’ selling price, and not on the retail price. The tax on silk stockings, shoes, wearing apparel of all sorts is removed. Congress put a tax of § per cent on carpets costing more than $4.50 a square yard, and on rugs costing $6 and above, in place of the present 10 per cent tax. The application of the tax also was changed to the manu- facturer's cost instead of, as now, ap- plying it to the retail selling price, with its numerous additions of profits ag it passes through the several mid- dlemen to the retailer. It substituted for the 10 per cent tax on trunks one of 5 per cent on those of $35 or more, cost at the fac- tory, and in the case of valises, hat boxes, suit cases, etc., the.tax is on a basis of $25 or more, manufacturer’s selling price. - These taxes are on the amounts in excess of the exemption. Levy on Theaters. The tax on admissions to theaters, or shows was abolished on those en- tertainments where the charge is 10 cents or under, but the present tax of 1 cent on each 10 cents of admission above the exemption remains in force. The 5 per cent tax on musical in- struments was removed, as also was the 10 per cent tax on sporting goods and the 3 per cent tax on chewing gum, and the tax of 10 per cent on moving picture releases. On candy the tax was not abolished, but was reduced from 6§ per cent to 3 per cent. The 5 per cent tax on electric fans and thermos bottles was eliminated. Pocketbooks, shopping and hand bags, taxed on a basis of b per cent on the manufacturer's selling price in excess of $5. Portablé lighting fixtures, includ- Ing lamps, shades, etc., 6 per cent on is the income tax.! LAW PROVISIONS the amount in excess of the manu- facturer's selling price above $10. Ladies’ fans, 6 per cent on the excess of $1, manufacturer’s selling price. The new law abolishes the present tax of 1 cent on each 25 cents of the cost of perfumery, cosmetics, denti- frices, toilet powders and proprietary medicines of all kinds. This is a stamp tax and was on the retail selling price of the article. The government, it can be said, lost millions of dollars by this tax by the fallure of clerks in the stores to affix the mecessary stamps when the articles were sold. Parcel Post Tax Abolished. The parcel post transportation tax of 1 cent on each 25 cents of postage is abolished. The 1 per cent tax on the premiums of surety bonds is abolished. Except where indicated, the effect of the new law will not be felt until the beginning of the new year. Whereas, under the present law, the taxes were paid by the ultimate con- sumers, the new taxes shift the bur- dens to the manufacturers or, rather, taxes at the source, and they are based principally on the manufac- turers’ prices. Under the present law the ultimate consumer not only had to pay a tax on the original cost of the article, but, on the percentage ba- sis, he had to pay on the numerous profits obtained by tne middlemen as the article came down the line to the retailer.

Va,, November 26. —Six men charged with complicity in the shooting at the coal mines of Mohawk, McDowell county, more than & year ago, were found guilty by a jury in criminal court here after an hour's deliberation. The Mohawk shooting was incident to the indus- trial troubles in southern West Vir- ginia at that time. The defendants were Steve Collins, Walter Asbury, Lige Cline, William Ccarbury, Bili Estep and John McCoy. Sentence in the case of each was deferred. How Prince Hirohito Startled Tokio by Suggesting Tripto U. S. One regret tinges the joy of Crown Prince Hirohito as he becomes de facto Emperor of Japan—that he did not see America first. How near the young crown prince came to visit- ing the United States and his dis- appointment at not being permitted to do so {s a story generally known in Japan, though it never has been printed. When the two battleships of the imperial Japanese navy which con- veyed the prince and his suite to Eu- rope last summer lay off Gibraltar, Vice Admiral Albert P. Niblack, com- manding the United States naval forces in European waters, called to pay his respects. The crown prince returned the call aboard the Utah. Vice Admiral Niblack, possibly act- ing under instructions, invited the prince to include America in his tour and quite unofficially and informally sketched the scenic and other attrac- ticns of this ¢ountry. The prince was delighted and with genuine en- thusiasm expressed his approval of the suggestion. Startled by Suggestion. He was serious, and a few hours later the venerable members of the imperial household department in Tokio received a radlo from their young prince advising them that his trip should be extended to include the other side of the Atlantic. They were startled. Even more so were the BY JUNIUS B. WOOD. ] diplomats of Kasumigaseki, the; Downing street of Tokio, whose literal | translation is “misty bay"- very ap- propriate for diplomacy. The crnwnl prince’s tour had an incidental politi- cal tinge, and a visit to the United States and Canada was not considered helpful to a renewal of the Anxlo~| Japanese alliance. A reply was sent explaining that time did not permit any extension of the trip. Immedi- ately came a second radio from the prince with the practical information that it would not take any longer for him to return across the American continent and have a battleship meet him on the Pacific coast than it would to return by the all-water route through Suez. Pussler to Kasumigaseki. This was a puzzler to the resource- ful Kasumigaseki and the best ft could do to quiet the resourceful young prince was a cable suggesting that he merely postpone his trip to America. In the opinion of old Japan the prince was absorbing western ideas of independence with sufficient. FOOT-FORM * Boots Showing an Improper Fit your particular need. buyer or not. Women and Children.

When the crown prince returned to Japan in September he planned to visit America next year. He wanted to see the countrv of which he had heard so much and toward which his grandfather, the great Emperor Meiji Tenno, the first emperor of the res- toration and of modern Japan, had always been so friendly. The general impression was that if the present conference ended as amicably as ex- pected the crown prince would cross the Pacific in the spring of 1922, His accession to the regency, pre- liminary to ascending the throne as the 125th Emperor of Japan, makes that impossible. The eldest of his three brothers, Prince Yasuhito, a sturdy Young army major of nine- teen years, may do so, but Japanese history saye that with the exception of the legendary Regent Empress Jingo, who donned her late consort's armor and, accompanied by her ma- ture adviser, Takenouchi, aged 306 vears, subdued Korea in the year 201, none of the mikados and emgperors traced in an unbroken line frm 660 B.C. has ever left Japan. Twenty-One Years of Age. Though the appointment of the crown prince as regent was forecast in cables from Tokio to this newspaper early in October, no hint was given by the imperial family council, the aduit male members of the imperial family who must act, as to when the appoint- ment would be made. The law pro- vides for a regency when the em- peror “is prevented by some perma- nent cause from governing.” It also says that the kotaishi (“crown prince”) shall be regent if he is of age. The present regent was born April 20, 1901, making him aged twen- ty-one years. according to Japanese birthdays, while eighteen years is the legal age in Japan. According to unvarying precedent, the crown prince will not succeed to the throne until the death of the em- peror. As explained to me by one of the attending physicians only last month, the emperor's condition is not critical and many years of life are ex- pected, though his health does not permit participation in court func- tions. He is now forty-two years old. He has been tubercular since his boy- hood, and in recent years complica- tions of Bright's disease have been gl added. His mind is usually clear, but there are frequent lapses of memory, and, though he can walk alone, he often requires assistance. (Copyright, 1921, by Chicago Daily News.)

SCHOOL SITE FIGHT MAY GOTOCOURTS Piney Branch Citizens Vote to Take Legal Action if Necessary. START FUND FOR BATTLE Members Unanimously Opposed to Tuberculosis Institution at 14th and Upshur Streets. ‘With their backs virtually to the wall, members of the Piney Branch Citizens’ Association unanimously voted to take legal action, If neces- sary, to prevent the erection of the proposed Tuberculosis School on the government tract, l4th and Upshur streets, at a special meeting called by’ the body in the West School last night. Edgar B. Henderson presided, and after announcing the findings of the special committee appointed to con- sult legal advisers, said that Charles W. Darr, representing the association, was considering the legal phase of the situation and would render a de- cision today or tomorrow. On the motion of Clinton L. Thomp- son the association voted $200 to start a fund to defray expenses of the fight. 2 ¥ Outlines Protests Made. W. Cissel Hanson, chairman of the committee on investigation, outlined the work that had been done by citi- zens living in the community, and said that visits to the District Com- missioners had been made, both indi- vidually and collectively, and in an- swer to all protests the District offi- cials had practically acknowledged that the site was not a desirable one for the school. “But,” he added, “ow- ing to the insistent demand of a certain group that the building be erected immediately, the Commission- er;lwere !orteg to proceed.” was pointed out last night taat the assoclation will base its plea for an in- Junction from the courts, if necessary, upon the legislatative act affecting the purchase of the Upshur street tract, it being claimed by Mr. Thompson, S. T. Cameron, J. A. Chamberlin, A. E. Dem- ray, E. E. Pabst and others that the section relating to purchase of govern- ment reservation specially states that “a_ suitable site be purchased by the District Commissioners for a munici- pal nospital at a cost of $100,000 or so much thereof as may be necessary.” Recommendation Not Voted. “It required special recommendation by Congress to erect the Tuberculosis mendation has never been voted the Tuberculosis School, and until such is a fact, many think those back of tae proposal will have their hands full try- ing to erect it.” Arguments from those advocating the building were attacked by practically every member in the hall, and the en- thusiasm ran so high that nearing the conclusion of the meeting it was freely predicted that the association would not cease its fight until the Tuberculo- sis Hospital, too, was removed from the neighborhood. Criticism of the health department’ report on the testing of cows for tuber- culosls was also expressed at the meet- ng. The association unanimously voted to instruct its delegates to favor the in- crease in yearly dues solicited by the Federation of Citizens' Associations, which calls for an annual payment from each assoclation of $25 instead of $10, as_heretofore.
