SENATE TAX BILL WILL DIFFER WIDELY FROM THAT OF HOUSE Washington, Sept. 14—Many house proposals for tax changes were re- jected or sharply moditied today by the senate finance committee. Proba-! bly the most far reaching decision of the committee was that to restore all transportation taxes, but with those on freight, passenger and Pullman ac- commodations in force only for 1922 and at half the present rates. The| house bill provided for repeal of all of these levies on next January L. While agreeing to the house plan to repeal stamp taxes on perfumes, cosmetic toilet preparations and pro- prietary medicines, the committee vot- ed to impost a manufacturers’ tax of 4 per cent on toilet articles and 2 per cent on proprietary medicines, and to restore the three per cent tax on toilet soaps and powders which the Five per cent reductions in the tax- es on fur articles motor boats and yachts, portable electric fans and: Wworks of art agreed upon by the pre- sent rate of 10 per cent in each case. The section of the house bill reduc- ing the tax on candy from 5 per cent to 3 per cent was amended to pro- vide that candy sold at wholesale for more than forty cents a pound should bear a tax of 10 per cent, In accepting the house reduction from 10 per cent to 5 per cent in the tax on sporting goods, the committee decided to make taxable skates, snow shoes, skiis, toboggans, and baseball football and basket ball equipmen which were eliminated by the house. Under a new section added to the| house bill, the committee proposed that the tax on chewing gum be reduced from three per cent to two per cent. The house measure made no change in_this levy. The house provision repealing all of the so-called luxury taxes was ac- tion on the proposal to impose a man- ufacturers’ tax on a number of the articles on which a retail tax is now imposed. Sections of the house bill accepted without change included those relat- ing to taxes on cereal heverages and soft drinks; repealing the tax on eye glasses and spectacl eliminating the| license levies on yachts and motor boats of not more than five tons or| not over 32 32 feet in length, and impos- | ing a tax of ten per cont on camera | lenses. The beverage tax changes were accepted, however, subject to possible on this subject has been furnished by treasury experts. While the senate committee was re- tives. of manufacturing interests in conference here decided to support and work for a tax revision program | substantially the same as that which Senator Smoot, of Utah, a republi- can member of the finance committee stitute for the pending meusure. The main features of this programe are: Enactment of a new general manu- facturers’ tax: ._Retenticn of present income taxes on individuals, with revision of sur-taxes, Retention of the present income tax of 10 per cent on corporations. Retention of existing taxes on tobac- €0, narcotics and oleomargarine. Retention of existing inheritance taxes. Revised estimates as to savings pro- mised by the several departments for‘ this fiscal year were submitted to the committee by Director Dawes, the in- dicated savings being reduced $350,000,000 to $305,000,000.

P.)— The Dail Eireann’s formal reply, as ap- proved today, is not likely to reach 1 verness before the end of the week. It was not, as rported in some quarters delivered yesterday to Premier Lloy George. The mission of Henry Boland and Joseph McGrath was simply to clear | up certain questions with their premier before the delivery of the formal reply. Nothing has leaked out as to whether the reply is acceptance or non-acceptance of the invitation to a conference, but the fact that five Irish plenipotentiaries have been appointed is taken as indicat- ing confidence in continuance of the ne- gotiataions.

Washington, Sept., 14—The Ameri- can zovernment again has taken the initiative in the armament negotia- tions by suggesting to the other pow- ers a tentative list of subjects for dis- on at the coming conference. he proposal as forwarded to the foreign capitals for consideration does not go the length, however, of enumer- ating all the specific controversies | which this government considers per- tinent to the armament discussion. It is confined rather to grouping of broad questions of policy without any attempt to speculate as to what par- ticular cses may arise under them. So far none of the invited nations has replied, formally to the suggestion | but officials are understood to have received encouraging reports of the reception of the list abroad. It was drawn up on the basis of extensive in- formal exchanges of views among the interested government The American communication has not been made public here, and those in charge of the negotiations are de- clining o reveal its contents pending a definite agreement on the final list which will comprise the text and lim- itations of the deliberations of the conference. It is the belief here that} such an agreement will be possible despite the short time remaining be- fore the foreign delegations start for the United States. i By the device of aveiding mention of specific controversial cases officials are understood to feel that the possi- bility of an agreement on scope and li- mitation will be greatly enhanced. Thus in the case of China the American suggestion is understood to be that the integrity of China be included in the list of eligible subjects leaving the trend of the discussion to develop whether the conference will be led un- der the heading into a consideration of such cases as Shantung. Along with the policy of China's in- tegrity it is belived the American government is ready to include in the list such other subjects as extra ter- ritorial rights in China, the Siberian situation and problems of the Pacific islands. Such a plan is in keeping with the oft-enunciated purpose of the Ameri- can government to keep the scope of the conference as broad as practical and thus forestall the possibility that some - one of the participants may tie its hands in advance of the confer- ence in regard to specific controver- sial cases. It is argued also that the| the scheme of permitting the con-| ference to develop its own scope has| a peculiar adaptability to the Far Eastern situation where several im- portant questions now are under ne- gotiation and may be settled-icfore thed desgates assemble here November 11. 11 JUDGES CHOSEN FOR INTERNATIONAL COURT Geneva, Sept. 14.—(By The A.

The South and Central American com- bination with Spain carried through its slate of ufor candid: on the first bal- lot. It became ne ry, however, for them to sacrifice’ Dr. Alejandro Alva- rez, of Chile, because the council ‘did not put his name on its list. The South Americans gained a ma- jority in the assembly for Dr. Alvarez tor deputy judge and when it was found that the council had again omitted his name from their list of deputy judges, the as- sembly re-elected him again. . The final stages of the election devel- oped a sharp contest between the coun- cil and the assembly, the latter insisting Alvarez as the fourth depmiy judge, and the council insisting upon Baron Desamps, cof Belgium, After Al- varez had been elected once judge and twice deputy judge he was rejected for the third time by the council, but was elected the fourth time by the assem- bly. Later announcement that the councll had for the fourth time rejected Dr. Al- varez and given the majority to Baron Descamps caused considerable emotion in the assembly, which was calmed by the proposal of Japan that the assembly ap- point a committee of three to meet a committee of the council on the sub- Ject. This committee will be appoint- ed tomorrow moning. The three deputy judges so far def- initely elected are: Demetrin Negules- cu, of Rumania, Michailo Jovanovio, of Jugo Slavia and M.
