Congregational church for -the past five weeks. + The school, which has been operat- ed under the supervision of Rev. Frederck H. Wilkins, assisted by a corps of 25 teachers and assistants, has attracted much attention and com- Lient throughout the city. When the display of-articles completed by the child:en was exhibited to the public in the windows of McMillan's store on Main street for the first time yeste. - Guy morning, the large show case speedily beccame the mecca of parents and others, who expressed consider- able surprizse at the thoroughness and completeness of the finished articles.

The display contains samples of rubbers before and after repairing; hammocks of several colors, and hats and dresses made doll size but perfect models in miniature of dresses and hats the future matrons will make for themselves. Another interesting fea- ture of the display is found in the different wooden toys made by the new class in woodworking, which has been gperating for less than three weeks. A novel and amusing representation of a Wwoodpecker making a hole in a tree trunk is one of these toys. Paper cut- out toys and other novelties made by the kindergarten class under the di- rection of Mrs. W. L. Williams, are Te- Mmarkable ilustrations of achievements by tiny tots. A public exhibition and program on Friday evening of this week, final de- tails of which will be announced later, will wind up the school for this sum- mer. A prominent speaker will talk to parents and friends and demon- strations of the work will be given.

Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 9.—Joseph Mesejejoes, 32, faced a hearing before U. S. Commissioner Manley here to- day on a charge of having attempted to scuttle the shipping board vessel Sataria. The seaman was signed as a mem- ber of the Sataria crew while the marine strike was at its height. His efforts to s. ik the vessel, it is al- leged. almost succeeded while the Sataria was on the Weser river, near- ing Hamburg, when the ship ground- ed a few, minutes after he was said to have Peen tampering with steam control valves. His arrest was ordered when the Eataria docked here yesterday. | 'n bottlea soft drinks, {'ny of the new or TAX ON SODA AND ICE CREAM T0 GO, (Continued from first page.) and higher income surtaxes retro- active to last January 1. It also was urged that the cutting off of the levies on freight and passenger traffic would prove of real help to business through savings in freight charges and added expenses of traveling sales- men. Agreement Not Reached. Formal agreement among majority members as to the total will be absolutely necessary to the government this fiscal year has not yet been reached and it was said that further specific tax cuts might await such an agreement. There also was talk of conferences with President Harding to obtain his ad- vice in the solution of the major problems before the committee. Democrats Are Busy. Having been excluded from partici- pation in the framing of the bill, democratic members of the committee are giving study to the revision ques- tion. Representative Kitchin, the democratic leader, who is detained at his home in North Carolina by ill- ness, has been kept fully informed o the public hearings and it is under- stood that his counsel will be sought in framing any report that the demo- crats may decide to make after they have studied the republican draft of the mecasure. ‘Wants Full Repeal. Representative Garner of Texas, the ranking democrat on the ways and means committee in the absence of Mr. Kitchin came out flatly today for full repeal of the transportation taxes and the so-called nuisance axes, including the ten per cent. tax and against increased taxes uggested by Secretary Mellon. He also is of the opinion that a much greater return can be had from back taxes than the treasury has esti- mated. He thinks that instead of $235,000,000 given in Mr. Mellon’s statement to the committee nearly $500,000,000 can be obtained from this source this fiscal year. Tax to be Cut or Dropped. Decisioni reached included these: Reduction to 5 per cent. of the 10 per cent .tax on sporting goods, in- cluding tennia rackets, golf balls. baseballs. football equopment and all similar articles commenly known ai sporting goods. Amendments of the first paragraph in Section 904 of the revenue bill whick now exempti from th: 10 per cent. tax on carpets in exces1 of $5 a vard “imported and American rugs made principally of wool.” It i1 es- timated that by placing a tax on im- ported andé American rugi made chiefly of wool! tha revenues that would be lost from reducing the sport- ing goods tay and repealing soma of the luxury taxes on clothing would be made up. The luxury taxes, beginning with Item 9 and running to Article 20, in- clusive, in Section 904, the committee alsc decided should be repealed by the<new bill. Tha elimination of the 10 per cent. tax on wearing apparel decided upon includea thesa articles: the that run [ to_deceive yo his. personal supervision for over 30 years.

Rome, Aug. 9.—An invocation to Divine Providence to hasten the end of the tremendous scourge that is afflicting Russia is contained in the appeal of Pope Benedict for aid for the starving and plague afflicted Russians, made in his letter to Cardinal Gasparri, the Papal secre- tary of state, inviting all Christi and civilized peoples to contribute generously to this cause. The Pope in his letter instructs Cardinal Gasparri to lay the 3ub- ject before the governments of the various nations for their ‘“‘prompt and efficacious common action in the name of the love of the Divine Re- deemer who gave his blood to make us all brothers.” The Pope’s letter implores aid for the millions of men in the basin of the Volga who are facing the most terrible death, “invoking succor from humanity.” “This people,” the letter continucs, “although separated from wus by barriers raised by long centuries, are, because of their calamity, near our paternal heart.” HUMANIZING SERVICE. Postmasters Asked to Visit All Per- sons Injured by Postal Apparatus. Washington, Aug. 9.—With a view to further “humanizing” the postal service, Postmaster Gen. Hays today instructed postmasters to personally visit the family of anyone injured by mail trucks or other vehicles oper- ated by the service “and see what can be done in the circumstances to help the situation.” “This should be done in all cases regardless of whether or not an em- ploye of the department has been primarily to blame,” the order said. County officials assert thaf the gun from which were fired the shells found near the Beverly Glen cottage will prove the most important clue in the case. Burch admitted, county of- ficials declare, that the automobile parked near the Kennedy summer house the night of thé shooting had been hired by him. Tha garags own- er who rented ii to him identified Burch, after the car had been traced through the peculiar tracks of the tires. The mysterious man and woman who followed: Mrs. John D. Kennedy, mother of the slain broker, through the streets to her husband’'s office last Friday afternoon are also factors in the case on whom officials are con- centrating their attention. Mrs. Obenchain hLas stated that immediate- ly after the shots were fired which Kkilled Kennedy, two persons fled past her in the darkness. The descrip- tions of the two given by Mrs. Ken- nedy do not fit anyone so far men- tioned in connection with the mys- tery, authoritiei say. HELD IN $150,000 DEAL.
