It was the first sus- talned rally after a week of destruc- tive liquidation which had wiped out billions of dollars in quoted valies, and sent scores of stocks to prices which represented only a small fraction of their year's high levels.

NELLONS TAXUT VNS APPROVAL O CONERESSLEADERS Treasury Head Says Pro- posal Not Made Because of Market Situation. By the Associated Press. Congressional leaders spoke quickly today to voice approval of the Treasury proposal for a $160,000,000 tax cut and simultaneously Secretary Mellon sald announcement of the contemplated re- duction had been decided upon a wegk ago and was merely & coincidence with the disturbed condition in the stock market, The Treasury head said the an- nouncement of the proposed tax cut ‘was not made yesterday because of the condition of the market, but because the figures and estimates had been sent to the public printer and had been discussed with members of Congress and therefore was public proj y. Such announcements, he said, ays were given out as soon as possible after a decision to make such recommenda- tions had been reached. Decline to Discuss Estimates. ‘The Treasury today declined to make public estimates of probable income and expenditures for the current fiscal year and for next year. It was sald the estimates were in hand, but it was the policy not to announce them until after they had been transmitted to Congress in the President’s budget message. Mellon in discussing the situation said losses in the stock market, which might tend to reduce income of those who had suffered in the market, had been given thorough consideration and that it was the decision of Treasu experts that the continued prosperity of the country justified a tax reduction at_this time. If the Treasury had not had con- fidence that the prosperity of the coun- try would continue the tax reduction would not have been recommended, Mr. : Studebaker, 40, 1; Cor- :2- aTe i 1: Texas QUi Sul- phur, 48%, up 5% Union . 685, up 8Y%: Union Pa- i STy 1372 Yalted Atreratt 38, ‘:‘? 67%; United Corporation, 25, up § nited Gas & Improvement 26, up 2 United States Steel 160, up 8%; Vana- dium 50, up 10; Warner Bros.

Situations Cleared Up. ‘Wall Street heard that two disturbing situations which had been overhanging the market, the nature of which was not revealed, had been satisfactorily ad- justed, and that investment buying of stocks, icularly by large insurance com] and well organized invest- ment trusts, had been resumed on a broad scale. The determination of large financial interests to place a peg on such_issues as Standard Oil of New Jersey, United States Steel common and Anaconda, at which they would be supported with large bids, at least for the time being, served to discourage ‘“bear” attacks, which have been widely held responsible for the recent destructive liquidation. .FALL FROM TREASURY FATAL T0 WORKMAN Scaffolding Collapses, Plunging Baltimore Man to Death on Grass Plot Below. Plunging from the roof of the Treas- ury Bullding to the northwest courtyard below, narrowly missing the 20-foot al- leyway adjoining the building, Carlton ‘Wright, 46-year-old worker, of 4303 Furley avenue. Baltimore, Md., was fa- tally injured shortly after noon today. Wright was erecting a scaffolding at the top of the building when it col- lapsed, burtling him into space and . clear of the wall. He landed in the grass plot just on the precipice of the alleyway that encircles the northwest corner of the bullding. He was taken to Emergency Hospital in a passing automobile ana never re- gained consciousness. He suffered a Tractured skull, a fractured right leg and internal injuries. ‘Wright was employed by the George Bentzell Contracting Co. of 3005 Sher- man avenue, Baltimore, Md., and was repairing skylights along the upper rlJ’.e of the puilding. The scaffold, un- hooked from its bracings, crashed down after the man into the alleyway below. His wife, Mrs. Ruth Wright and two children of Baltimore survive him. A crowd of nearly 500 persons gath- ered at the scene during the Govern- to carry out the proposed reduc- tion and today it was their intention to offer the necessary resolution early in _the December session. The measure must be introduced first in the House where, under the Consti- tytion, all revenue legislation must orig- irate. The Treasury proposal would provide for a flat 1 per cent cut in the no;mnl individual and corporation tax rate. . Leaders Approve Reduction. Congressional leaders in charge of revenue legislation gave their tentative approval to the reduction proposal at conference with Mellon late yesterday. Speaking for the Senate Democrats, Senators Simmons of North Carolina and Harrison of mum%ax announced that their approval would have to be tentative, until they had conferred with colleagues. These _conferences were in_progress today. Simmons is ranking Democrat angd Harrison a member of the Senate finance committee, which considers revenue legislation. Chairman Smoot of the finance com- mittee looked with full approval upon the tax slice.

OFFICIAL CONFERENCE IS HELD SIGNIFICANT Premier Hamaguchi Meets With Advisers to Discuss Pros- pects of Parley. By the Associated Press. TOKIO, November 14.—Although offi- cial confirmation was unavailable, it was learned authoritatively today that Japan's claims for 70 per cent of Amer~ ican strength in cruisers carrying 8- inch guns have met with a discourag- ing reception both in London and in Washington. Recent diplomatic correspondence from those capitals has been a closely guarded secret at the foreign office, but this afternoon's papers gave prominence to reports of an Anglo-American ten- dency to reject the Japanese ratio claims, arousing editorial criticism, which also appeared to be cropping out in some official circles. While it was officially denied that they were meeting in connection with the receipt of unfavorable reports from Washington and London, it was note- worthy that Premier Hamaguchi, For- eign Minister Shidehara, Kyo Takarabe of the admiralty and other advisers were closeted this afternoon discussing the prospects of the London naval con- ference. An unconfirmed report which the aft- ernoon papers published was to the ef- fect that while Great Britain was pre- pared to agree to Japan's desire for a 70 per cent 8-inch gun cruiser ratio toward Great Britain, Japan would hi 60 per cent ratio toward the United States. EPISCOPAL HEAD ASSUMES OFFICE Means Continuance of Predecessor’s Policies. Right Rev. Charles Palmerston An- derson of the diocese of Chicago today took office as the presiding bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in America after his election yesterday, ponents of religious tolerance and sepa- ration of church and state. 5 For the next two years the admipis- tration of Bishop Anderson foretells a solidarity of support in the carrying out of the policles of his predecessor in office, the late Bishop John Gardner Murray of Maryland. Put forward as a compromise candidate on the sixteenth ballot to break a deadlock in the House of Bishops, the new presiding head of the\church was chosen yesterday over 15 rivals to serve the two years remain- to the one year, after which it would be possible to determine more accurately the regular annual income of the Gov- ernment. Then, he said, a general downward revision might be under- taken, if deemed necessary. today their effort two years ago to get a greater reduction in the corporation tax than was allowed. They expressed approval that the Mellon proposition in- cluded their suggestion at that time as well as a cut in the normal individual income tax rate. The tax plan provides the following reductions: INDIVIDUAL INCOME RATES. Present. Proposed. o 1%% k. 3 First $4,000 taxable income ...... $4,000 to $8,000 $8,000 and over ...... § Corporation tax rate..12 Reduction by Resolution. Congressional leaders said it was their intention to carry out the proposed re- duction by means of resolution rather than by a bill looking to any widespread revisions of the revenue law. This, they added, was because the cut would apply only on 1929 incomes on which taxes are to be paid next year, beginning March 15. . Tax reduction “before Christmas” was the promise made today by Chair- man Hawley of the House ways and means committee, which must initiate legisiation to carry out the Treasury proposal. Hawley sald the suggested reduction would cost the Government only about $85,000,000 in the current fiscal year. 2% 4 1 Simmons and Harrison both recalled | Bisho) ing of the term of Buh(:rcllum , who died last month in Atlantic City. Bishop Anderson is the second presiding head of the church to be chosen by a demo- cratic election. For years a dominant figure in the national organization of the church, Anderson rose to the height of his wide influence by reason of his n{l; note address before the forty-nin triennial convention in Washington dur- ing the heat of the presidential cam- pafrn last year, when he boldly flayed sectionalism and intolerance. In an appeal for the preservation of religious freedom, Bishop Anderson then said: “Whenever the church spends energles on social and political reforms, or undertakes o fight the world's po- | litical and social battles by using the world’s weapons, or identifies itself with the world in hope of producing a glori- fied human soclety by external pres- sure, the result will inevitably be & loss of morals, Beginning at Wrong End. “It is beginning at the wrong end,” he said. “It is patching up the ma- chinery of society, which may work to- day and break down tomorrow, instead of reconstructing the motives of men.” Bishop Anderson, who is 64 years old, but regarded as an indefatigable work- er, will be eligible for re-election for the full six years of the term of presiding bishop at the next triennial convention | i of the church in Denver in 1931, Bishop Anderson's first official act was to appoint Right Rev.

The board of directors of the Capital Traction Co. decided today to appeal to the courts for its long-sought in- crease in fare, formally denied yester- day by the Public Utilities Commission. The board’s action was taken at a two-hour meeting at the company's headquarters, at which the commission’s 3,000-word opinion refusing the higher fare was discussed in detail.
