ASSAULTED
Injury To W. W. Craig By
" Prowler Kept Secret
Three Weeks; Suspect
Escape Plot.
Efforts are being made at the
etato training school for boys, Su
pcrintenednt U M. Gilbert said
today, to capture or othewise as
certain the identity of prowlers
who have made their appearnucc
at the Bc.iool on two occasions re
cently. However, it is unknown
whether same person or persona
have intruded on both occasions.
The tint appearance of a prow
ler. on October 22, resulted seri
ously for W. W. Craig, one of the
employed of the school, who was
struck in the face with a rocK,
necessitating his going to the hos
nitul for several days.
Craig believed someone who had
entered the premise of the school
was signaling by whistling to the
boy Inmates who were sleeping on
an upper flood in one end of the
building. Going around the build
lug Craig came upon a man, who
was about 30 fret away. The man.
according to Craig's story, hurled
a rock at him and ran. The rock
truck Crnie in the face, severely
lacerating his face and knocking
him unconscious for a time, wnen
he regained consciousness he was
able to find his way to tne scuooi
hospital unassisted. Craig was un
able to give a description of the
man and does not know whether
there was more than one. It is
believed he may have intended to
help some of the inmates escape
from the school.
Last Saturday i?:ght M. E. Pears,
nlKht watchman -at the school
heard an unusual noise behind one
of the buddings and when he went
to investigate reported that he saw
a man running away from the
premises.
Superintendent Gilbert says the
attack on Craig and the appear
ance of another prowler Saturday
night are attended by a great deal
of mystery that makes investiga
tion difficult. Not far from the
school is an old lumber mill that

The last thing Lewis remembers

tha: he was slugged and robbed.

SET AS LIMIT
OF TAX
Ways and Means Commit
tee To Fight Attempts
At Further Reduction
Of Revenues.
Washington, Nov. 16. (A. P.)
Chairman Green of the house
waye and means committee bo
lieves the federal revenue for next
year has been sliced to the limit of
sound policy in the reductions al
ready voted by the comnitttee in
the new revenue bill and indicates
he will oppose any attempt in the
house to increase the tax cut.
In a statement Issued as the
committee prepares to complete
the drafting of the bill, Chairman
Green announced that the book
was closed there to any further
pleas for tax iclief. The treas
ury, he said, could not stand any
reduction beyond the $304,000,000
estimated under the revisions al
ready approvei.
This is taken to mean that the
committee intends to stand on the
rate schedules ns now adopted, and
furthermore, that vigorous opposi
tion will he interposed to any at
tempt in the house, as threatened,
to go beyond tho committees pro
posal for reduction in the automo
bile tax.
Referring to proposals for total
reductions ranging from $350,-
000.000 to $500,000,000, as com
pared with the $300,000,000 lim
it recommended by the treasury,
Mr. Green said he was opposed to
the us of foreign debt proceeds
for ordinary expenses instead of
reduction of the national debt, as
contemplated in some of these
nronosals. He further called at
tention to the need of a federal
building program and tho nddi
tional demand on government
revenue this would impose.
Mr. Green especially emphasized
the opinion that government reve
nues should not bo cut too closely
because of their large dependence
on business conditions. The fact
that since 1921, the actual reduc
tion in revenue has been propor
tionately less than the reduction
in .tax rates ho ascribed largely to
changing business conditions.
