FREACH RADIAL SEEK CONPRONISE Wish to Aveid Tax on Pay- ments Provided in Govern- ment Finances Bill. By the Aseoclated Press. PARIS, February 26.—The radicals are still seeking a compromise which will avoid the necessity of voting Finance Minister Doumer's tax on payments provision in the govern- ment’s financial rehabilitation meas- ure. The plan of the raidcal Senator Capsal to replace the tax on pay- Jnents by a measure requiring that *payment of the special import dues be made on a gold basis rate to be flxed monthly on the average rate of the dollar for the preceding month was found {mpracticable and had to be abandoned by the negotfators be- tween the radical Senators and the v .dical members of the lower house. Giser plans have been brought for- ward with a view of surmounting the >, but it is improbable that prove sultable. Louis Mal- . head of the Chamber's finance gommittee, nevertheless, has not tbandoned hope of finding a compro- talse, and it is expected that the Sen- which already has voted 48 artl- of the bill, will adopt the remain- today, and that the Cham. ollow suit within the next K Americans v fo ers who make France their he: Following upper | thut their r must pay the same { g men.

Army List Embraces Many Re- leased Due to Wounds. There are now 2,188 officers on the retired list of the Army, according to a statement issued by the War De- partment. Of that number 1,304 were retired from active service due to wounds received in action and phys- ical dlsabilities incident to active service. The mandatory age limita- tion of 64 years resulted in the plac- fng of 172 officers on the retired list and 15 were retired upon reaching the age of 62. One hundred and thirty- one officers were retired after 40 ¥ S of active service and 255 after 30 years' service.

Absence of a quorum prevented the Senate from taking final action yes- terday evening on the dispute over two bridge projects in Arizona and New Mexico, which has held up pas- sage of the deficlency appropriation bill., The conference report on the meas- ure was approved by the House early yesterday, but when it reached the Senate Western Senators renewed their opposition to making the Navajo Indians bear a part of the cost of the two bridge items referred to. The roll call showed 17 for taxing the Indians to 28 against, with three Senators palred and unable to vote. This left one short of a quorum. An- other call of the Senate was ordered with the same result. Then the names of the absentees were called. Pages were sent scurrying about “looking for” absent members, but none approached the cloakrooms, al- though Senators could be seen peek- ing through the glass panels of the oors. Under the usual procedure, the sergeant-at-arms would have been di- rected to “bring in" the absentees, but a motion to that end would have been necessary, and nome was pro- posed. There was a lull, and finally Chafrman Warren of the appropria- tlons commlttee, in charge of fhe conference report on the deficlency bill, moved an adjournment until to- day, which was voted unanimously.
