WOULD PLACE RAIL TAX RATE ON OTHER ITEMS No Change Indicated in In heritance Assessments or Exemptions WASHINGTON, July 30. Re publicans of the house ways and means committee conferred to day faor a development of views on tax revision. Many divergent opinions were developed, but no decisions reached. Emphasizing that he was speak ing for himself, Chairman Ford ney said afterwards that the goal toward which he would strive would be cut of a half a billion dollars in the tax bill next year. His opinion was that by the ex ercise of rigid economy, the govy eminent could bo operated for three and a halt billion dollars in 1922, instead of the four billions estimated by the treasury. Other members were less optimistic. New Revenue Sought. Practically all members are in sympathy with the repeal of the transportation taxes, but they have not yet fixed on a new source of revenue to offset the less of $330,000,000. While committee Republicans have reached no definite decisions on the proposed revisions, it ap pears to be fairly well establish ed that there will be no alter ations in the normal rates on in dividual incomes or in the amount of exemptions allowed. There probably will be some shifting of the tax burden in other direc tions. "Soda Tax" Again. Asked about the repeal of what the treasury has characterized as "nuisance" taxes, such as that on soda water, Mr. Fordney said smilingly that all the tales were "nuisances.' Treasury and Internal bureau officials are expected to present some new recommendations to the f Continued on page 2) ot Oliver Sharls, gang foreman, were digging a trench for a water line when' the bones were uncov ered at a depth of about three feet.

"Because of the negligent, care less 1 and Improper driving of the defendant, the .plaintiff sustained a broken ankle, internal injuries and severe bruises," the complaint asserts. An interview could not be ob tained from Mrs. Grege last night upon her arrival from Ashland in charge of Constable Walter De Long, the officer asserting that Mrs. Grebe's ill health prevented her: giving an outline of the ac cident. Before her departure from Sa lem, Mrs. Grebe Is reported to have stated that a third machine forced her too near the halted car upon which Finn and New ton were working. J. R.

XT FROM ra AUTHOR TALKS if oies Peter Clark MacFarlane Tells Incidents of Intimate Acquaintance With Great est Americans. AUDIENCE ATTRACTED BY GENIAL SPEAKER Seven Days' Program in Campus Tent Comes to Conclusion Today The story is told of two Scotch highwaymen who once attacked a Jew peddler and sought to separ ate him from bis wealth. After a furious fight. In which they were battered only a little less than the v ctim, they overcame and frisked the peddler. "Losh sake," gasped the big gest Hileand robber, as he gazed out of his one unbattered eye at the shilling piece that they found in the Hebraic pockets, "What would he have done to us if he'd had a whole guinea?" .Miu Farlane Is Scotch. But some Scotchmen get their material a lot easier than that. Peter Clark MacFarlane is one. He doesn't corkscrew either mon ey xr information out. of people they just go up to him and give it to him, at least; the information. He's trained himself for many years in the way of sunshine and helpfulness; his smile, and his hand clasp, and his human under standing, and. his charity, bring hfm the things that the man ot violence could never getk The tent was again crowded last night. MacFarlane was a friead cf The odore Roosevelt. He met the doughty colonel down nt the Mo- qui Indian annual dance in South west America, when T. R. was a virile, hot-blooded hunter and na turalist. Her met Roosevelt again after his return from South America, where he had fought the Jtiver of Doubt almost to the eath. Then, the colonel was emaciated, spent, broken, thin voiced. He was the pitiTul figure r.t the warrior that MacFarlane had met on the other occasion. Koosevelt would not tell -him the story of the trip. "Ask Cherry," he said; "he will tell it all." Cher ry was his triend and companion. The story as told in the leotura lat night, is an epic of Ame.-ican- ibin, as MacFarlune go it out of ! the other member of the party. Roosevelt Near IVath. "The colonel was too ok! to make this trip; 10 years older! than the other man," said Mac Farlane., "He was the first, al ways, to' help in any hard job; tie tirst over the side of the boat whenever help was needed to save the craft from the rocks. The bruises, and the insect bites, and the exposure brought on the fe ver. True to the traditions of his life, he still went on. always helping. The food failed"; ' sometimes only a little monkey meat, or a few palm buds. Ostentatiously, as head of the party, he would serve or divide the meal, but he would try to slide part of his own star vation portion to some other mem ber of the party. 'Why, I'm not working,' he would say, when de tected in the act. "Finally came the day when they confessed themselves lost, a scout went aliead, and was pone for a day. He came back, baf fled. Then the Colonel, whom they believed to be dying, said to Cherry: 'Cherry, it's now every man for himself. I've had my day and I don't count But I wish you'd take the boy (Kermit) and see that he gets his chance. Take him home and give him to his mother, and leave me here.' Obligation Is Kept. "They didn't leave him. They fought it on, and Kermit finally found the way to safety. But ev ery day, in the cool of the even ing, before the delirium of the night followed the delirium of the day, the Colonel would prop him self up on his elbow, write up the scientific and personal story of the day, and then the fever would seize him In delirium. "What did he say In hi3 delir ium? His expedition had been ar ranged for by Scribners. and he felt his obligation to them so that it pervaded his every moment. 'I must finish It,' he would say. '1 will finish it!' The Journal of the expedition along the River of Doubt is the journal of a dead man but he lived it through and kept his obligation."
