Previously he had revealed to the jury three separate confessions by Remus of intent to slay the woman from whom he was estran ged and had recounted the details of a long and intimate stndy of Remus which revealed him to be a man who "behaved like a nor mal man."

(AP) The tax bill, passed by the house ten days after the start of the present session, reached the sen ate Saturday vith Indications It would not even be considered by the senate finance committee un til after Christmas. ' ' Out of line with the recommen dations of the treasury, and call ing for a J290,000,000 decrease in revenue payments more than the treasury, in President Coolidge'a opinion can stand it will be the subject of brief hearings, then the senate will take it up, "with pre dictions general that concerted ef forts will be made to revise its provisions. As approved by the house the measure would result in an annu al tax : reduction of $57,000,000 more than the amount recom mended by its ways and means committee at least that is the estimate. The house " total was $65,000,000 above the "safe max imum," set by Secretary , Mellon and approved by the president, but more than $100,000,000 be low the figure recommended by the chamber of commerce of the United States. Chairman Snioot of the senate finance committee has expressed the belief that the senate may scale the bill down to somewhere near the treasury total. On the other band. Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, the senior dem-ot-i on the committee, sees jao reason why' the reduction should not be boosted to- $400,000,000, and is laying plans to that end. LA GRANDE, Teras. Dec. 19 (AP) Rejecting an Insanity plea. a Jury of men in district court here has convicted- Mrs. Rebec Bradley Rogers, 22-year-old for mer University of Texas co-ed. on a charge of robbing the Farmers National bank of Budda. Texas, and fixed the penalty at 14 years in prison. The defendant received the ver dict calmly, but to her husband. Otis Rogers, young attorney, whose dramatic appeal for either liberty or the electric chair for bis wife moved spectators in the courtroom to tears yesterday, it proved a shock. He had confidently ex pected a hung Jury at the worst. . Agreement was reached by the Jurors 12 hours after they had been sent to bed last night urged by District Attorney Fred Blun dell to return a verdict "that will set a precedent in the southwest and warn women and girls." Rogers bad pleaded death for his young wife rather than a term in the penitentiary. The death penalty would have been possible as Mrs. Rogers was charged . with having used a re volver when she held up two off! cials of the Buda bank last De cember and obtained $1,000. Rob bery with firearms is a capital of tense in Texas, with a minimum penalty of five years in prison.

Mr. Coolldge's desire to hold tax reduction to $225,000,000 al ready has rounded up a champion in the. senate In Chairman Sxnoet of the finance committee, who an nounced today that he will make every effort to cut down the figure apporved by the hone. Senator. Simmons, of North Car olina, ranking democrat on the committee, declared simultan eously, however, without commits tins himself to any definite pro gram, that he believes a reduction of $400,000,000 feasible. Although there was no sugges tion at the White House that the president had made up his mind to veto the bill, if the reduction Is in excess of the treasury figure or too much out of line with Mr. Melton's recommendations, it was apparent that some leaders In con gress are fearful of such cation.
