Wi rates on incomes ranging from 1o £30.000 ased, venue bl as revised in accord estions would be designed ximately four billions of dollags next year, it was said. Mr. M lon's’ memorandum embodying his views was withh but airman Firdney omised to make it public tomorrow. Repressrtative Garner of Texas, the ranking democratic member of the com- mittee, attacked the treasury secretary proposals declaring that every one of them constituted a “shifting of the tax burden from the classes to the masses.” Mr. Mellon was said to have estimated rnment expenditures for the next ar at $4,675,000,000, but Chairman Yordney said this dependent upon how much of the $500,000,000 due the railroads would have to be advanced out of the federal treasury, the cost of oper- ating the government merchant fleet and the present income E the size of expenditures for the army and the navy. Aside from internal taxes, the treasury secretary was understood fo have esti- mated customs receipts for next year at $430,000,000 and miscellaneous receipts, including salvage, at $350,000,000., He was said tv have figured that the $10 tax on automobiles would bring in $100,- 000,000 and that added levy on cigars: tobacco and_cagarettes an additional $25,060,000, but the estimate as to the income from the proposed tax an bank checks was not disclosed. The loss of revenue through reduc- tion of the transportion taxes has been placel at approximately $15,000,000. After the committee had heard Mr. lon, ‘Internal Revenue Commissioner Blair, Dr. T. S. Adams, treasury tax ex- pert, and other fiscal officers of the government, Chairman Fordnay reiter- ated his statement of last Saturday that he belleves the nation’s tax bill could be cut $500,000,000 and the governmem. run for four billion dollars a_year. Representative Garner said that the government expenditures in excess of that sum next year would be a “wilful, wicked waste of public funds, wholly indefensible.”* He asserted that the fed- eral establishment could be run for $3.- 500,000,000, ading’ that Representative Madden, of Illinois, the new chairman of the .\ppropriation committee, had de- clared in an address that this sum should be sufficient. Before the committee heard the' treas- ury experts the republican members were in, conference with Mr. Madden for a discussion \f expenses next year and more particularly the needs of the ship- ping board, the army and the navy. Examination of the treasury officers conculded the committee’s hearings on the revision measure and the republican members plan to et to work tomorrow on a final drafe of the bill. Chairman Fordney reiterated that the committee probably could not complete the measure under three weeks. TO PUNISH MOB LEADERS AT WHIPPING OF MAN AND WOMAN rmingham, Ala.

Trial Of B’ ayers When , Counsel For Defense Charged State With Having Let the Instigators Go Free. Chicago, Aug. 1.—Defense counsel in the baseball trial teday placed the major part of its closing arguments be- for the jury in a series of pieas brought to a climax by a dramatic address by Morgan Frumberg of St. Louis, attorney for Carl Zork, in which he ‘charged that tae state, having let the instigators of the. baseball scandal go free was “trying to make goats of underpaid ballplayers and penny-ante gamblers.” Mr. Frumberg repeatedly asked the jury in reaching its verdict, to consider why Arnold Rothstein of New York tad never even been indicted when the state’s witnesses in the trial had named him as the financier of tce alleged con- spiracy and why J. J. Sullivan of Boston, Rachel Brown of New York, Hal Chase. and Abe ‘Attell, others who have been termed leaders in the case, were never brought to trial “Arnold Rothstein came here to Chicago during .the grand jury investigation and immediat-ly went to Alfred Austrian, the White Sci attorney,” said Mr. Frumberg, “what bowing and scraping must have taken place when ‘Arnold the just,’ the millionaire gamber entered the sanctum of ‘Alfred the Great’ By his own tes- timony, Mr. Austrian admits conducting this financier to the jury and of bringing him back unindicted. “Why was this man never indicted? Why were . Brown, Sullivan, Attell and Chase allowed to escape? Why were these underpaid ball players, these pen- ny-ante gamblers from Des Moines and St. ouis who bet a few nickels perhaps, on the world's series brought here to be the goats in this case? “Ask the power of baseball. - Ask Ban Johnson who pulled tne strings in this case. Ask him who saved Arnold Roth- stein. Previous to Mr. Frumberg’s. address, Henry, Berger had told the jury that Ban Johnson, American League president, hag furthered tais case in an effort to injure his ene; Charles A. Comiskey, owner of the ago American’league club, and presented a series of court rulings' which he held proved thete was no vi-lation of | law. even if the players did tirow the 1918 world’s series games. Michael Ahern also delved into con- spiracy laws and Max Luster, emphasized the alibi presented for his client David ' Zelcer, of Des Moines, claiming that thij, alibi proved faise the testimony of Bil Burns that Zelcer was Bennett, a lieu- tenant cf Rothstein. Burns was attacked by all of the at- torneys, Mr. Berger terming him and Billy Maharg the state’s ace of clubs and ace of spades. “They are the two black- aces,” said Mr. Berger. “Burns, the club who knocks, and Maharg, the spade who dug up Burns.' A three hour night session was held with Thomas Nash, representing Happy Felsch, Buck Weaver and Swede Ris- berg, taking up most of the time. To- morrow the defense will finish- its pleas, the state .will present its final rebuttal and the case is expected to go to the jury before night. e Mr. Nash asked the jury if it did not believe Rothstein was left out of the case at Ban Johnson's instigation be- cause Johnson wanted only to get Co- miskey by wrecking the White Sox team and did not want to involve Rothstein. “Ban Johnson controlled this case and | if Rothstein got out it was because one man’ was willing to let him out,” said Mr. Nash. “Johnson, with more power in base- ball than th: Russian czar had over his subjects, sneaked to the grand jury room and zave his testimony in the dark whidh he thought would ruin the players and Comiskey, but he was not man enough to come here in the daylight and testify. He hasn't enough red blood un- der his skin to ‘do that. ohnson was not man enough, after the®tate had announced that Joe Ged- eon would prove Risberg guilty, to leb| Gedeon testify, He was afraid that Ged- eon, whom he barred from baseball, would turn and tell the truth. “Johnson “brought Joe Pesch from St Louis here and kent him from the wit- ness stand by sending him back home because he feared Pesch would tell how this case really started. “Johnson did not care whom he ruin- ed if he could ‘get’ Comiskey. Well, he has got «him; don’t let him make you a party to the ruining of these innocent men upon trial” Mr. Nash detailed certain voints Burns' testimony which he claimed to hais proved false and nleaded for a raight verdict of not guilty, “so as to et the world know that Ban Johnson might run baseball but that he could not run this jury.”. n JATL DELIVERY WAS BLOCKED AT NEW HAVEN New Haven, Conn., Aug. 1—Tae vig- llance of a guard at the New Haven county jail averted an attempted jail | delivery today. Vincent Albrizio, of 410 West 170th street, New York city, awaiting trial on a charge of stealing an automobile, was visited by his wife, Margaret, and his brother, Vito, of 681 East 189th street, the Bronx. When they entered the vis- iting room, Mrs. Albrizio laid aside her handbag. A guard searched it, and dis- covered a loaded revolver. According to jail officials, Albrizié and his wife admitted that they planned an escape. The womgn brought the re- volver to the jail n responss to a re- quest ol her husiand contained in a let- ter that was smuggled out of the insti- tution a few. days before. Albrizio® is alleged to have cenfessed that he plan- ned to hold'up the guard, lock him in a cell, ‘and then make his escape, accom- panied by as many other prisoners as wishea to go.
