heritance by a Georgia bishop's wife
of Beveral slaves was the rock upon
which the northern branches of the
Methodist Episcopal church split K0
years ago, church men said here to
day when it became known that the
college of bishops of the southern
body had called a meeting of the
general confereno to consider the
Joint commission's plan for unifica
tion. The break occu-red In 1R44, when
the wife of Bishop James O. Andrew
of Oxford. Ga., Inherited an estate
which Included slaves, thus making
the bishop a slave owner.
The northern branch asked that
they give up the slaves and upon re
fusal to do so, asked the county
body that he be forced to withdraw
from the bishopric.
The southern branch declined and
the trench was opened.
Many efforts since have been
made to effect a reunion, the last
having been refused by the northern
wing in May 1920, at a meeting in
es Moines, Iowa. The present plan
is said to be the best ever submit

HOPE COOLIDGE FAVORS
Democrats Yield in Proposal
for Substitute Corporation
Tax and Full Publicity
of Tax Returns.
(Associated Press Leased Wira )
WASHINGTON. May 21. Unanl
mous consent was reached today by
the conferees on the tax reduction
bill.
The Simmons domestic Income
rate schedule providing for a 5 per
cent reduction In normal taxes on
incomes under $8,000 was accepted.
Senate amendments providing for
full publicity for tax returns and a
tax on undistributed corporation
profits were rejected.
Hope was expressed by senate re
publican organization leaders that
the bill as now framed would meet
.the approval of President Coolidge,
np nas aeciared opposition to both
the publicity and corporation propo
sals, which were eliminated.
The house provisions for a 40 per
cent increase in existing tax rates
and for the Imposition of a gift tax
with rates similar to the estate tax
rates were accepted.
Senate democrats, in yielding
their proposal for a substitute cor
poration tax and full publicity of
tax returns, explained that they did
so In expectation that the bill would
not he objectionable to President
Coolidge.
The provision for a 25 per cent
reduction on earned Incomes was re
tained but the senate amendment re
stricting the amount to which this
cut could be applied to 310,000 was
accepted.
A compromise was reached on a
Jewelry tax. All articles selling for
3:10 or less, were exempted from the
five per cent tax. The house had
set this limit at 340 and the senate
at $25.
Senate proposals to exempt pro
duce and merchandise brokers from
the brokers-tax and to restore the
full levy on billiard and pool tables
and bowling alleys were approved.
The treasury proposal to limit de
ductions on account of capital los
ses to 12s per cent was restored to
the bill by demand of house confor
ees. Secretary Mellon has estimat
ed it would increase returns in rev
enue by $25.0(11), 000 annually.
Chairman Smoot of the senate fi
nance committee estimated the bill
went $1,000,000 between the treas
ury surplus available for tax reduc
tion. This did not take into account the
cost of the bonus bill, which it has
been estimated will require an ap
propriation of $150,000,000 for the
next fiscal year or other pending I
measures calling for special appro
prlatlons.
