This went over until tomor- row and Senator Smoot said he did not think consideration of it woull consume much time. In the debate on the defeated manu- facturers' sales tax plan, some republi- on leaders indicated that a sales tax might have to be provided for in connec- lon with the soidiers’ bonus bill, which they predicted would be passed at the next session of congress. Discussion of the sales tax was com- paratively brief. Semator Smcot was the chief speaker for the plan, which was opposed by Senators Lenroot, McCumber, MeCormick and Nelson on tho republican side and Senator oJnes of New Mexico, Heflin and Simmons on the democratic side. Before taking up the salen tax, the senate perfeeted the committee bill with | the adoption of some additional amend- ments offered by individual senators. The prosram for tomorrow was somewhat in- definite as democratic leaders had not finally made known thefr plans with re- gard to the soldier bonus amendments. Tt was expected, however, that these would be reached tomorrow and Senater Penrose, in charge of the tax bill, said he thought it might safely he caid that a final vote on the measure could be reach- ed by Saturday night.

AMPLIFYERS CARRY VOICE ACROSS CONTINENT ‘Washington, Nov. 3.—The call of a bugle, the chime of bells and the voice of a man were swept across the continent from San Francisco today to be hurled out over a wide stretch of ground about Arlington Natoinal cemetery with every not, every vibration of the bells and every spoken syllable. as distinct . as though sounded a hundred feet from the listeners' ears. Yet the sounds originat- ed in San Francisco, the speaker stood on the roof of the sreat civic auditorium there and the musie came from phono- graph records played in the building on which he stood for an audience three thousand miles away. It was the formal dresss rehearsal of the mechanism by which President Harding’s voice, as he speaks the nation’s homage on Armistic Day over the cas- ket of America’s unknown dead from France will be carried to an audience waiting before the amplifiers in New ‘ork and to amother gathering in Sa: Francisco to share in America’'s great day of tribute. High officers of the army and the of- ficials of the American Telephone and | Telegraph company, had no doubts of | success after the first sentence spoken at San Francisco was clearly audble to them at a half mile distance from the amplifiers on the amphitheatre at Arling- ton. Similarly, there was a long reading of speeches from the stage of*the amphithe atre here to be carried out over the wires to San Francisco. The voice of the read- er went on and on and the few who wit- nessed the test first listened to this from every point about the great marble struc- ture to a distance of more than half a | mile. Every lable penetrated clearly to every nook and hollow, making it certain that hundreds of thousands could hear the presid¢ai’s address, the pravers and the singing and music on Armistice | Day standing anywhere in the grounds about the structure The the voice announced that the nex words to be heard would be spoken in San Francisco. The faint whir of the mechanism rose to a higher hum and a new, deeper toned voice announced that chimes, play ed on a phonograph record in San Fran- cisco, would come next. As clearly as if it were not a dozen feet away the click of the phonograph mechanism came as the needle dropped on the face o fthe whirling record disk 3,000 miles away; the familiar introductory scrape began, then the bells boomed out waking echoes in the cemetary, The deep voice took y the task again the announcement: “Spoken from the roof of auditorium in San Francisco.” It read out the words of President Harding’s inaugural address, thén ar nounced the bugle call record and the clear note of a trumpet in stirring army calls swept over the field fnore distinct- ly heard than the notes of the bugle at Fort Myer acros Sthe road, where the garrison was at retreat parade. w ‘the civie BRITISH COMPLAIN OF ELLIS ISL3 London, Nov. 3.—(By the A.
