Wallen Promises to Produce His in Police Court. Patrick Rocco, aged 18, of 73 Prospect street, and Gustave A. Wal- len, aged 26, of 350 Arch street, were before Judge M. D. Saxe in police court today on the charge of oper- ating automobiles without lfcenses. Rocco was on East Main street about 9:30 last night when Officer Otis Hopkins observed that the tail light on the car was not burning. He asked Rocco for his license and the young men replied that he had left it home In his “other coat.” The officer asked him if he actually had a license and Rocco admitted that hie had none. : Wallen drove past a red light at t night and Supernumerary Offi Spooner opped him and inquired for his Ii- cense. Wallen claimed to have left it home and another officer was sent with him. A little later Ofticer Spooner was ordered to appear in court as Wallen had failed to pro- duce the license. In Rocco's case, Judge Saxe sus- pended judgment, and warned the young man to be careful to avold trouble with the law. Prosecuting Attorney Woods flazed him for be. ing untruthful to Ofticer Hopki: but Rocco replied that although h started to tell a lie, he immediately thought better of it and told the truth. He sald he had not been making a practice of driving without a license, Judge Saxc pointed out 1o him that if Le is arrested again, notice will be taken of the present oftense. Rocco assured him of his determination to remain out of trouble. o In Wallen's case, a continuance until tomorrow was ordered to allow | the young man time to produce his cense or a duplicate from the state commissioner of motor vehicles.

VIGTORIOUS NTAX REDLCTION {Senate in Close Yote Follows Strict Party Lines Washington, May 9 (®—Encour- aged by victory in the first skirmish- ing of the tax reduction fight, re- publicans moved forward confident- ly today toward a decision in their contest with democrats for a $200,- 000,000 tax cut, as opposed to th minority plan for a $325,000,000 re- duction. The republican ranks, which are only one stronger than the demo- cratic fold in the senate, held solid vesterday in the first tests of the rate reduction battle. Democratic attempts to wipe out the admissions and club dues taxes were defeated on almost straight party votes. By similar division, the republi- cans restored to the house bill the full 10 per cent rate on club dues which the house voted to cut in halr. Without a dissenting volce, the gen. ate voted to increase the exemption allowed under the mdmission tax from tickets of 75 cents and less to admissions of $3 and less after it had refused to repeal the levy, : Tdncup Close 8o closc was the lncup in the votes yesterday that a tie vote re. sulted on the firat roll call—for re pet‘n‘l 1@; the admission tax. Vithout veting, Vice-Preside. Dawes declared the amvndmef):h)lo:' but later it was argued he was re. aulred to cast his vote. He volun. teered that Lo would have voteq against the amendment had he not been advised by the senate paria. mentarian that this was not requirea, | S0 the senate voted over again and this time the republicans defeatoq the proposal 42 to 39, The margin was about the same on the proposal of the majority to restore the full 10 per cent rate on club dues and on the vote against | repeal of the club dues tax. West. ern republican independents lined up solidly with their party. Sena- tor Bruce, of Maryland, was the nly democrat 1o go over with the repub- licans on the roll calls yesterday. Simmons Leads Battle Senator Simmons of North Caro- lina, ranking democrat on the finance committee, led the battle of his party for repeal of the admis- sion tax and for retention of the 50 per cent cut in the club dues tax voted by the house. Senator Har- rison, democrat, Mississippl, also argued for repeal of the admission Senator Berkley, democrat, Kentucky, proposed repeal of the club dues tax.
