TAXES GOING UP. CONGRESS AFRAID OF SOLDIER VOTE Majority Believes More Is to Be Gained Through Bonus Than Reducing Burdens. By David Lawrence. (Special Correspondent of The Eve- ning Wortd.) WASHINGTON, April 80.—(Copy- right, 1920)—Taxation is going up— not down. The Republican party in Congress has*virtually decified that more is to be gained by giving the soldiers of the late war a bonus than by refusing to make further cuts in existing taxes or distributing the bur- den through the years of the next generation, The Ways and Means Committee of the House is in a tangle, A min- ority of Republicans Is opposed to new burdens of taxation, with the help of the Democrats their strength is not sufficient to prevent the passage of the bill in the House, Only two barriers then remain—the Senate and the President. If the ‘House bill were presented to the White House to-day it would be ve- toed. If it were put up to the Senate in the for min’ which it ‘has ‘been drafted it would be radically changed, but on the other hand there would still remain additional taxes where- with to raise money for the soldiers Decause ¢ Republicans must stand by House Republicans in do- ing something before the next elec- tion that will not alienate the sol- dier vote, SOLDIER VOTE TOO FORMID- ABLE TO BE OVERLOOKED. Perhaps the Democrats would do likewise if they were in control for the soldier vote has become like the lnbor vote and the Prohibition vote something too formidable for the av- crage Congresaman to withstand, es- pecially when a demagogue can start but even his district on that ground alone Tho Ways and Means Committee, both Repubticans and Democrats, nad the now tax Dil] before them at their A campaign in opposition to him tn] POLICE ON GUARD HERE FOR MAY | "RED" OUTBREAKS had Precautions | Taken ‘ lomes of Those Who Incu Enmity of Radicals, RAISE COAL PRICE BEFORE WAGE RAISE Lehigh Coal and Navigation Com- pany Lays Increase to Scale Not ven Agreed Upon Yet, PHILADELPHIA, April 80.—The Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company to- day announced an advace of one dollar @ ton in the price of domestic sizes of anthracite coal, Dealers say the boost, which ts effec- tive to-morrow is due to the rise in miners wages under the terms of an agreement now being negotiated, And no agreement as to wages has yet ben agreed upon. PARADES ARE BARRED.

All mectings of “Reds,” Gocialists, Communists and radicals of every kind, will be attended by detectives and shorthand reports of all speeches taken, ‘Then men assigned to such tasks will be in such close touch with headquarters that within a few minutes, tf necessary, a meeting can be effectively raided and ended and the violators of law arrested. No parades or walks" of the radicals will be permitted to-morrow.

BERLIN, April 30.—Polish, troops have pierced the Bolshevik front and taken 10,000 prisoners, says a despatch to the Vossischs Zeitung from War- saw. WARSAW, Aprfl 30 (Associated Press), —Pollsh and Ukrainian troops, driving toward Kiev, have occupied the town of Malin on the railroad about sixty miles northwest of Kiev. The advance is continuing toward the Dnieper River except on tho southern sector of the front, where the Russian Bolshevik forces are making a stand along the right bank of the Bug River and are fighting stub- bornly. The Bolsheviki are rushing the Fifth and Highth Divisions from the Caucasus mgion to reinforce the Twelfth Soviet army, which has its headquarters at Kiev. In an action which resulted in the occupation of the village of Kozatin, southwest of Zhitomir, Polish cavalry captured 2,000 prisoners, ten cannon, one tank and the colors of the Fifty- | elghth Bolshevik Division. Ainplanes, armored trains and automobiles are used by the Poles and crack alry divisions have been brought into action.

STORY WINS LENIENCY. Capt. Fletcher, Wearing ‘Medal, Gets Short Sentence, 'With Prospect of Pardon. Russell Holmes Fletcher, a tall, handsome chap of twenty-seven, with the British military medal on his waistcoat telling of ugusual bravery on the battle front, st in the dock of General Sessions ‘before Judge Rosalsky this morning and pleaded guilty to the theft of $4,200 of Liberty Bonds from the National Bank of Commerce, No. 31 Nassau Street, where he had been employed as a clerk at $110 a month, Frederick Hudd of No. 1468 Broad- way, a wepresentative of the Can- adian Government, whos3 business Is to look after discharged Canadian soldiers, said that Fletcher, before the war, had been for five in the employ of the Bank of Montreal. In 1914, he continued, the bank clerk enlisted in the 8th Regknent of the Royal Rifles as a private, He was wounded three times and showed such gallantry at the front that he was several times promoted and re- ceived ‘his decoration. He was dis- charged as a ‘Captain in January, 1919. Mr. Hudd askd for judicial clem- ency in consequence of the soldier's former good reputation and his splen- did war record, Fletcher was asked by the Court i¢ he thad anything to Bay. “A friend of mine,” he replied, “with whom I served in the army and who saved my life on the battlefield, camo to me one day in the bank and told me that unless he could get $3,000 ho would tbe sent to jall and be disgraced for life, I took the $4,200 of bonds and gave them to him. He got $3,500 for them and fled to Europe.” ~ A murmur of sympathy ran through the courtroom as Fletcher sat down and Paul T. Krammerer, an attorney of No. 61 Chambers Street made another plea in his behalf. He sald friends of Fletcher, would make the loss and give him a position in Montreal, if the court would permit him to enter into negotiations with the bank The permission was granted and Judge Rosalsky sentenced the medal man to one year in the Limire Re- formatory. ur splendid military record,” sald the Court, “has saved you from a long prison term.
