BULLETIN.
The reace proposals presented to
Afctf-eTK rim’s Agents at Tetuan, ac
cording to information from a reliable
source late last night, provide for the
recognition by France and Spain of the
administrative independence of the
piff, while Abd-el-Krim in return will
recognise the religious sovereignty of
ti,e sultan of Morocco. The two Powers
will also recognise the right of the Riff
to maintain a sufficient force for police
purposes, with France providing for the
organisation of this force. The boun
daries of the independent State of the
Riff will follow on the west the railway
lint fixm Tangier to Fez at a distance
cl 20 kilometres from the railroad, and
on the south it will be marked by the
courses of the Werg'na and the Lukkos,
these two rivers being joined by an
imaginary line to be determined more
exactly later. The proposals also pro
vide for the approval of the political
and territorial clauses by the League
et Nations.

I NDIANAPOLIS, Tuesday.—In an
effort to cut down automobile
deaths the authorities have resorted
to a scheme by which they hope
that the ones responsible for such
fatalities will be haunted the rest
of their life with the memory. The
order went out to-day that reckless
drivers in this city who kill pedes
trians will be forced to spend an
hour in the morgue alone beside
the victim’s body. It is expected
that the prospect of being forced
to- witness a corpse, knowing that
the person might have lived but
for wanton carelessness, will have
a telling effect on the amount of
wild riding now reported .on muni
cipal highways.

MADRID, Tuesday. — While official
quarters here continue to declare that
they have no information about the
recent visit of two of Abd-el-Krim’s
envoys to General Primo de Rivera at
Tetuan, it is confirmed from a reliable
source.that this visit did take place, and
that the two’ Riffian emissaries went
hark to Ajdir, the capital of the Riff,
with the Franeo-Spanish peace pro
posals presented to them by Jhe head
of the Spanish Directory. Furthermore,
it is learned that* Abd-et-Krim has been
informed that Ipis answer is expected
before August 15. • '
If no reply from the Riffian leader is
received before that date, or if the reply
constitutes a .rejection of the peace -pro
posals, tire -Spanish command has a plan
:ufy for a general offensive in the
Spanish zone, which will be accom
panied by the landing of more troops
on the north-western coast.
Americans Form
Diamond Combine
To Fight De Beers
(By Special Cable to the Herald.)
NEW YORK, Tuesday.—According to a
report thought to have originated among
large diamond firms and circulated in
financial circles to-day, the firm of J. P.
Morgan and Company will be one of
three making up a syndicate to take
over the control of the world’s diamond
market from the .De Beers Consolidated
Mine's of Kimberley, South Africa, and
London. The proposed syndicate will
not engage in actual mining, but will
control, the total output of, the. principal
'mining companies on a five-year con
tract.
Officials of the J. P. Morgan Company,
however, would not confirm the rumor
and denied all knowledge of the fact
that a new diamond syndicate was being
organised. Other alleged partners in the
project, while they did not deny the
report, said that they were “unacquainted
with ftie facts.”
History of De Beers.
The De Beers Consolidated Mines, in
its present form, dates from 1888, when
it was formed for the purpose of amal
gamating the De Beers Mining Company
and the Kimberly Central Diamond
Mining, Company. Since that time the
Undertakings of four otller large dia-
- niond mining companies have been
acquired and the company now owns
Ihe De Beers, Kimberley and the Voor-
spoed diamond mines and the greater
Portion of two other large mines, all
situated in South Africa. In addition
: the company holds the pre-emptive
I rights over any diamond mines dis-
I covered in the territories of British
[South Africa Company and the - South-
' Mest Africa Company. It operates under
a combined capital of £4,500.000. The

WASHINGTON, Tuesday.— No more
nuisance taxes, a 20 per cent, maximum
surtax and n repeal in the inheritance
tax, making a total of cut of 3^350,000,000
in the general levy, sum up the latest
prediction by Senator Reed Smoot, of
Utah, chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee.
Senator Smoot paused in his work on
the next tax plans to-day long enough
to make another forecast. He predicted
the repeal of all miscellaneous nuisance
taxes, including the . levies . on automo
biles. He’’does not favor the plan to
raise the exemption figure to $5,000 on
an earned income..
The latest word from Senator Smoot
differs slightly from his earlier estim
ates, which were, a 8400,000,000 cut, and
a 25 per cent, maximum surtax. His
early figures were regarded conservative
by Democrats. Senator Underwood, of
Alabama, who helped to write the first
Income Tax Law, declared for a flat
2 per cent, income tax and a maximum
surtax of 13 per cent. Senators Glass,
of Virginia; Caraway, of Arkansas; and
King, of Utah; are among the prominent
Democrats who have come out openly
for reductions in excess of the Treasury
proposal.
Senator Glass has favored cutting the
surtaxes to 20 per cent, and relief for
all incomes below $5,000 a year. Senator
Caraway has expressed belief that by
wiping out needless Government acti
vities taxes could be heavily cut. Sen
ator King is preparing a Tax Bill which
proposes a cut of at least a half billion
dollars, and perhaps $750,000,000. These
leaders and others will try to get the
Democratic caucuses to. advocate reduc
tions all along the line in excess of the
Mellon plan.

(By Special Cable to the Herald.) *
NEW YORK, Tuesday.—Wilder than the most hectic day on the Stock
Exchange was a. revival of the Rockaway .real estate boom at 10 o’clock last
night, with thousands of people making snap transactions involving millions,
of dollars in the hope of getting on “easy street” by virtue of a tip which
still is called a rumor. Far Rockaway, with its hundreds of cheap cottages,
j was literally mad with such a frenzied desire as has been attributed to the
gold rush of ’49, the Chicago grain pit and other places where men forget
all but the lust for fortune.
City Hall Perplexed.
As perplexed as the real estate specu
lators are reckless is the City Hall over
the report that a nine-mile board walk
will be constructed at Rockaway, making
the vacation spot for the middle-classes
a replica of Atlantic City. Certain of
the forthcoming board walk were aged
widows who struggled with young men
in an effort to reach dealers or private
sellers. Contracts fluttered about like
so many paper napkins between the
excited negotiators. Some of them
walked away with an exuberance that
was mental intoxication. They talked
confidently of the fast-approaching day
when they would be offered many thou
sands of dollars for a sandy, bit of land
by, some large . hotel syndicate seeking
to buy up large tracts in anticipation of
a nation’s patronage of a new great
resort, the miracle wrought by a nine-
mile board walk. Others scribbled out
cheeks for large amounts in payment
for land previously worth a song, and,
almost without taking a step, resold
the scrap of paper for double the sum.
“Realtors*’ Perspire.
Perspiring “realtors” kept on working
while giving interviews. “It is a run
away market and there is absolutely
nothing to base it on,” declared one,
voicing the general expert opinion.
Asked about the rumored construction of
a board walk the “realtors" replied,
“Maybe it’s true but we know nothing
about it.” Meanwhile paper continued
to be passed around, the same contract
changing hands many times. At mid
night a crowd of 4,GOO surged the side
walks near Edgemere Station and did
business in the roads. Many of the
buyers, were accompanied by their law
yers who cast a hasty eye over the papers
to see that they were in order.
To-day the boom was transferred to
banks which labored under a flood of
checks. - lt was rumored that'many thou

people :wli,o drhd :giveil • them in: expecta
tion that a profitable . turnover would

cross-currents of the English . Channel,
but for hours yesterday afternoon and
last night her supporters were losing
hope for her success while at the same
time cheering the valiant efforts of a
French swimmer, Mme. Jane Sion, who
had braved the icy waters until she had
arrived within two miles of the English
coast at 9.40 p.m., when she was forced
to give up the attempt.
Miss Ederle did not make her try,

NEW YORK, Tuesday.—Two daring
hold-ups have hetted bandits more than
$60,000 within twenty-four hours in New
York. Timing their movements with
exact precision five bandits raided the
pawnshop of Patrick E. Glancy in Grand
street just as he cpenecl for business
this morning, bound the proprietor and
two clerks, roughly silenced a screaming
woman customer, and escaped with cash
and jewels valued at $60,000.
During the height of the theatre rush
last night, two bandits entered the West
Side Subway Station at Ninety-sixth
street and while the platform was
crowded, quietly pushed the cashier
away from his desk at the points of guns
and escaped with the day’s receipts of
$581 largely in nickels, first cutting the
telephone wires to prevent an alarm
being spread. While collecting the money
in the booth they made change for sev
eral customers.

STEAH SHIP SAILS
WITH MUTINEERS
(By Special Cable to the Herald.)
NEW YORK, Tuesday.—There was a
sequel in the Magistrate’s Court last
night to the serious rioting on board
the Spanish steamer Antonio Lopez yes
terday when 150 recruits for the Spanish
forces in Morocco -started an insurrection
against the captain and officers of the
ship and the police had to be called in
to quell the disturbance. Six of the
men jumped overboard and five were
captured but the other either drowned
or escaped.
An attorney appeared in court last
night asking a warrant for the arrest of
the skipper. The lawyer alleged' that
Captain Muslera had chained some of
the recruits-, who came from Cuba and
South America, on the main deck and
in full view of people in the streets of
lower New York. The Magistrate de
clared he had no jurisdiction in the
matter and dismissed the application.
The liner sailed to-day for Cadiz,
where the remits will be turned over to
the military authorities- and proceed at
once to Morocco to fight the Riffians.
BEER TAX PROPOSED
FOR COAL SUBSIDY
Tammany Leaders Prepared
Wage Bitter Fight Against
Mayor.
- (By Special Cable to the Herald.)
NEW YORK. Tuesday.—Local politi
cal skies cleared somewhat to-day, and
Mayor Hylan and Tammany Hall came
'to a'final parting of the ways whe’n the
Mayor came out for the first time with
a definite announcement that he will
abide by the decision cf the Democra
tic primaries in the event that he
enters the race as an independent can
didate.
Mayor Has Support.
This announcement is taken to mean
that the Big Five, the Borough leaders
in Tammany, unable either to accept or
reject Mr.. Hylan as a candidate, have
come to an open break and that the
Mayor has finally decided to draw out
of the organisation, 1 possibly taking with
him Mr. John H. MeCooey, the boss of
Brooklyn and Queens. With this support
in his home Borough, and probably the
support of Richmond, ihe Mayor is pre
pared to contest the primaries with
Judge Olvany.
The Tammany boss retains the support
of Manhattan and the Bronx, whose
voting strength is much greater than the
other Boroughs, but it is admitted that
Mr. Hylan, running as an independent,
may cut. seriously -into the Tammany
Strength in the Bronx where he has a
large following.
Determined to make the break with
the Mayor even at the expense of driving
Boss MeCooey -out of the organisation,
the anti-Hylan leaders in Tammany
have been for several weeks perfecting
well-laid plans in all Borough, nad
every friendly force outside the Wigwam
is being mustered to the support of the
Tammany candidate'to be named soon.
Tammany Confident.
It was also pointed out to-day that the
definite break will possibly lead to a
finish 'fight between Olvany and Mc-
Cooey for the real party leadership, but
Tammany seems prepared for the battle
and ready to take on MeCooey, Connolly,
of Queens and Rendt, of Richmond, if
all three line up behind the Mayor. The
Tammany leaders who remained in the
fold expressed confidence in the success
of the organisation candidate, whoever
lie is, pointing to the vote, in the last
State election as an indication of the
strength of the organisation.
It now remains for Fourteenth street
to name its candidate and the announce
ment is expected within a few days.
Whea that happens and campaigning
starts in the five Boroughs it will he
possible to tell just how much strength
the Mayor can rally to his cause in his
first attempt without the Tammany en
dorsement.

LONDON, Tuesday.—-What the Gov
ernment coal subsidy means will be
brought home strikingly to Britons if
Mr. Churchill’s plan of a beer tax of
one .penny, a pint to find the extra re
venue goes through. Apparently inspired
statements appeared in. the evening
newspapers to-day to the effect that the
Chancellor of the Exchequer had de-,
cided on this method of raising the
necessary money for the subsidy.
No more unpopular method of raising
the money could well be imagined, but
Mr. Churchill's critics say he is really
planning clever propaganda- of indelibly
stamping in the public mind hostility
to any future subsidies.
As computed, the penny tax on beer
would yield just under £20,000,00*0.

(By Special Cable to the Herald.)
CHICAGO, Tuesday.—Once again hope
that Russell Scott might be saved from
the gallows faded to-day during the hear
ing on his insanity when Judge David
refused to let the former multi-mib
lionaire’s mother testify regarding the
Scott family history. Judge David ruled’
that the hearing only . concerned the
question of whether Scott had been in
sane since the death sentence was im
posed on him for the shooting of Joseph
Maurer, drugstore clerk, on February 14.
Dr. H. S. Hulbert, alienist, who was
an expert witness in the Lo-eb and
Leopold trial, testified as to his conclu
sion that Scott was insane between many
objections and emphatic rulings by the
court. Long arguments were heard in
chambers, but they failed to alter the
court’s attitude . that Scott must be
proved to have gone insane singe the
death sentence was imposed.

REBUKES AMERICAN
CRITICS OF AMERICA
Burton Has Hard Words for
Tourists Who Run Down Their
Country While in Europe.
(By Special Cable to the Herald.)
WASHINGTON, Tuesday. — Americans
visiting Europe were sternly rebuked for
“flattering foreigners and ridiculing the
United States” by Representative -Theo
dore E. Burton, of Ohio, who arrived here
to-day to take up his duties oh the debt
funding commission.
Mr. Burton said that by flattering for
eigners and ridiculing the United-
States, some Americans were creating a
real problem and increasing the difficul
ties that confront diplomatic emissaries
of the United States in Europe. “If there
is any criticism of vour own'country,
make it at home,” declared Mr. Burton.
“I refer particularly to semi-expatriates
who seem* to lose loyalty to their own
country as soon as they set foot in Eu
rope. I refer particularly also to visiting
American churchmen who said that the
most popular girls in America are those
who got drunk, and who assume a ten
dency to knock the United States. They
are prompted by two ideas, first, no
toriety, second, to say something pleasing
to Europeans.”
Mr. Burton returned recently from Eu
rope, where he represented the United
States at the Geneva Conference for the
control of traffic in arms.

sengers for a brief moment. Sev
eral frenzied mothers tried to jump

concerted action of the nurses pre
vented a disaster. The children
appeared the least concerned.
Neither barge nor freighter was
badly damaged.
RADICALISM IS
DEAD IN WEST
COOLIDGE TOLD
Iowa G.O.P. Leader Dis
cusses Farm Relief with
President.
(By Special Cable to the Herald.)
SWAMPISCOTT, Mass., Tuesday.—That
Radicalism is dead both economically
and as a political issue in the West with
the passing of the late Senator Robert
M. La Follette and discontent has all
hut disappeared throughout the corn
belt, was the good news brought to
President Coolidge to-day by Mr. John
T. Adams, Republican National Com-
mitteman from Iowa. The Western
farmer had previously been pointed to
as. the chief instance of Instability in
the - Republican prospects for the fall
and Mr. Adams’ report that the big
com crop, the high prices and the
prospect of a return of real prosperity
are effectively silencing the agitation
for radidal panaceas was received with
gratification at White Court.
Sullivan Agrees.
Mark Sullivan, writing in The New
York Herald Tribune agrees with this
view and says that the \\ estern farmers
have been trying to impress President
Coolidge, the Cabinet and the Eastern
leaders of the party with a view that
considers the farmer not merely as one
industrial element in the community,
but as the fundamental basis of the
country. Mark Sullivan continues:—
The political insurgency in the West,
according to competent surveys, aims,
for the present, not at rebuking Coolidge
or displacing the Republicans, -but
rather at supplanting some of the pre
sent Western Republican Senators and
Congressmen with ones having a point
of view more pugnaciously active in
farmers’ interests. As it has been ex
pressed, the Western aim is not to cause
Coolidge any kind of disadvantage, but
rather to get a leverage on him, to get
his attention, to cause him to look to
the West and reflect the West. The
West wants to be heard from at Wash
ington.
The Western farmers’ present com
plaint rests on an uneasy suspicion that
they and their industry have been cast
for a neglected role in the country as
it starts a new era. They recognise that
they are in a better state than at any
other time during the last five years.
But they are still less favored than most
other industries and they apprehend
that their present condition is destined
to he their permanent one.
Farm Commission Sought.
In addition to this general mood the
Western farmer has two concrete ob
jectives. One has been put into definite
form by the leader of the farm bloc.
Representative Dickinson, of Iowa, and
will be introduced in the coming Con
gress.
This farm bloc proposal has been
altered somewhat from the McNary-
Haugen Bill to meet the objections of
those who regarded the McNary-Haugen
Bill as radically paternalistic. In spite
of the changes, the new proposal con
tains the same elements that were dis
approved by the Administration and by
others as being impracticable. The new
measure proposes that there shall be a
Federal farm commission. It is to be
appointed by the President from a list
proposed by the farm organisations. One
member would be the Secretary of Agri-
(Continued on Page Three).

British Home Secretary Makes
Interesting Comparisons Before
World Prison Conference.
(By Special Leased Wire.)
LONDON, Tuesday.—The striking de
crease in crime in this country and the
changed spirit in which prisons are
now administered was stressed by. the
Home Secretary', Sir William Joynson-
Hjcks,'at'the opening'here to-day of the
Ninth International Prison Conference,
at which ’ twenty-four nations, .including
the United 'States, are represented.
Despite the increase in population,
there are only 8,000 persons in local
prisons to-clay, a ■ compared with 20,000
fifty years ago, and only 1.600 in penal
servitude, as compared with 10.000.
scribed by the Home Secretary, one
being the organisation of Wormwood
Scrubbs Prison as a separate establish
ment for first offenders, and the other
the reservation at Wakefield Prison for
persons whose sentences were long
enough to enable them to take advan
tage of industrial training.
“A man must not come from prison
in such a condition of mind and body
that he is no longer fit to take his place
in society,” the Minister declared, as
serting that it was the objecl -of prison
administrators to restore prisoners to a
state of normal citizenship.
Describing the sytern of voluntary edu
cation now inaugurated in prisons, he
claimed that the atmosphere of prisons-
to-day was one of hope rather than of
despair, and that there was co-operation
by prisoners with the prison regime ra
ther than opposition to it.

ATLANTIC CITY, Tuesday.—Appa
rently nothing will avert a nation
wide strike in the antnracite coal fields
on September 1. Without getting into
a real discussion on ihe eight demands
of the miners, an open break in the
conference of operators and miners
came this morning on a technical point
o ith the probability that the conference
will be definitely ended late to-night.
“Autocratic Move.”
Headed by Mr. John L. Lewis, presi
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America, the miners this morning re
fused to deal with a “spokesman” for
the operators. The latter sent down Mt.
Samuel D. Warriner with full and ample
powers to conclude an agreement with
the miners. The sending of a single
delegate to conduct negotiations was
considered as a highly autocratic move.
Despite the prominence of Mr. War
riner, and his familiarity with the
situation the miners flatly refused to
consider dealing with him alone. They
demanded that the more important
operators. come to Atlantic City, sit
around the table and discuss the eight
fold problem with them 'man to man.
The operators sent word that Air.
Warriner alone would be entirely satis
factory to them.
Both Sides Firm.
It appeared extremely doubtful that
either side would change its views.
Rumors -immediately went around that
Mr. Lewis was preparing to quit the
conference as a signal for the September
1 strike. He refused to comment on the
rumors until the operators had been,
given a chance to reply to a complete
/statement from the miners as to their
reasons for desiring to discuss the
problems with a fuller representation.
With the impending, termination of
the conference word arrived here to-day
that a strike of both anthracite and
Bituminous miners in West Virginia
looms as a strong possibility. Van A.
Bittner, representative of the United
Mine Workers in West Virginia, has
already warned Secretary of Commerce
Hoover and Secretary of Labor Davis
than a general strike in his district
would be called if the abrogation of
wage agreements is not discontinued.
Browning Picks
Bohemian Girl
From Thousands
(By Special Cable to the Herald.)
NEW YORK, Tuesday.—After examin
ing more than 12,000 applications made
in answer to his advertisement in ‘The
New York Herald Tribune, on July 5,
seeking a daughter for adoption, Mr..
Edward W. Browning, wealthy real
estate dealer, to-day chose Maryl Stas,
a sixteen-year-old High School girl, to
become the companion of ihis foster
daughter Dorothy. Miss Stas was born
at Prague, Czechoslovakia, but New Ycrk to live when her parents im
migrated to America fifteen years ago.
This is the third time Mr/ Browning
has adopted a daughter, the former two
being separated when, he obtained a-
divorce in Paris last year, his wife tak
ing Marjorie to iivc with her and Dorothy
remaining at the Browning home in West
Eighty-first street. The Brownings were
married in. 1915, and the first child
adopted two years later, chiefly to please
Mrs. Browning. Later, because Dorothy
was lonesome, Marjorie was taken -into
the home to keep her company. But
when the Browning separation occurred
last year, Dorothy’s playmate was taken
away from her and Mr. Browning
finally decided to advertise for another
daughter.
Blackmail Letter.
In the midst of making his selection
and sandwiched in with the 12,000 letters
from applicants, Mr. Browning, on July
9, came upon one signed “Leader of a
gang of fifty,” demanding $50,000 and
threatening to shoot and kill 'both Mr.
Browning and Dorothy if the demand
was refused. Acting quickly, lie turned
the letter over :o the police and, at their
suggestion, complied with the instruc
tions ; n the letter.
On July 15, Fhilip Siegal, a, young
Pressman, was arrested on a- charge of
blackmail. Siegal's confession, which
followed shortly after his arrest, is said
to have involved certain “big names”
in the plot to extort money from the
wealthy real estate dealer. He was
held iu $25,000 arid Mr. Browning has
said that- he will parry the prosecution
to the limit.
AIR TRAFFIC RECORD.
Transporting 1,532 passengers between
London and Paris during July, the Air
Union Line broke the previous record
of 1,488 passengers set iri July, 1924, by

The reace proposals presented to
Afctf-eTK rim’s Agents at Tetuan, ac
cording to information from a reliable
source late last night, provide for the
recognition by France and Spain of the
administrative independence of the
piff, while Abd-el-Krim in return will
recognise the religious sovereignty of
ti,e sultan of Morocco. The two Powers
will also recognise the right of the Riff
to maintain a sufficient force for police
purposes, with France providing for the
organisation of this force. The boun
daries of the independent State of the
Riff will follow on the west the railway
lint fixm Tangier to Fez at a distance
cl 20 kilometres from the railroad, and
on the south it will be marked by the
courses of the Werg'na and the Lukkos,
these two rivers being joined by an

I NDIANAPOLIS, Tuesday.—In an
effort to cut down automobile
deaths the authorities have resorted
to a scheme by which they hope
that the ones responsible for such
fatalities will be haunted the rest
of their life with the memory. The
order went out to-day that reckless
drivers in this city who kill pedes
trians will be forced to spend an
hour in the morgue alone beside
the victim’s body. It is expected
that the prospect of being forced
to- witness a corpse, knowing that
the person might have lived but
for wanton carelessness, will have
a telling effect on the amount of
wild riding now reported .on muni
cipal highways.

MADRID, Tuesday. — While official
quarters here continue to declare that
they have no information about the
recent visit of two of Abd-el-Krim’s
envoys to General Primo de Rivera at

source.that this visit did take place, and
that the two’ Riffian emissaries went

it is learned that* Abd-et-Krim has been
informed that Ipis answer is expected
before August 15. • '
If no reply from the Riffian leader is

Diamond Combine
To Fight De Beers
(By Special Cable to the Herald.)
NEW YORK, Tuesday.—According to a
report thought to have originated among
large diamond firms and circulated in
financial circles to-day, the firm of J. P.
Morgan and Company will be one of
three making up a syndicate to take
over the control of the world’s diamond
market from the .De Beers Consolidated
Mine's of Kimberley, South Africa, and
London. The proposed syndicate will
not engage in actual mining, but will
control, the total output of, the. principal
'mining companies on a five-year con
tract.
Officials of the J. P. Morgan Company,
however, would not confirm the rumor
and denied all knowledge of the fact
that a new diamond syndicate was being
organised. Other alleged partners in the
project, while they did not deny the
report, said that they were “unacquainted
with ftie facts.”
History of De Beers.
The De Beers Consolidated Mines, in
its present form, dates from 1888, when
it was formed for the purpose of amal
gamating the De Beers Mining Company
and the Kimberly Central Diamond
Mining, Company. Since that time the
Undertakings of four otller large dia-
- niond mining companies have been
acquired and the company now owns
Ihe De Beers, Kimberley and the Voor-
spoed diamond mines and the greater
Portion of two other large mines, all
situated in South Africa. In addition
: the company holds the pre-emptive
I rights over any diamond mines dis-
I covered in the territories of British
[South Africa Company and the - South-
' Mest Africa Company. It operates under
a combined capital of £4,500.000. The

(By Special Cable to the Herald.)
WASHINGTON, Tuesday.— No more
nuisance taxes, a 20 per cent, maximum
surtax and n repeal in the inheritance
tax, making a total of cut of 3^350,000,000
in the general levy, sum up the latest
prediction by Senator Reed Smoot, of
Utah, chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee.
Senator Smoot paused in his work on
the next tax plans to-day long enough
to make another forecast. He predicted
the repeal of all miscellaneous nuisance
taxes, including the . levies . on automo
biles. He’’does not favor the plan to
raise the exemption figure to $5,000 on
an earned income..
The latest word from Senator Smoot
differs slightly from his earlier estim
ates, which were, a 8400,000,000 cut, and
a 25 per cent, maximum surtax. His
early figures were regarded conservative
by Democrats. Senator Underwood, of
Alabama, who helped to write the first
Income Tax Law, declared for a flat
2 per cent, income tax and a maximum
surtax of 13 per cent. Senators Glass,
of Virginia; Caraway, of Arkansas; and
King, of Utah; are among the prominent
Democrats who have come out openly
for reductions in excess of the Treasury
proposal.
Senator Glass has favored cutting the
surtaxes to 20 per cent, and relief for
all incomes below $5,000 a year. Senator
Caraway has expressed belief that by
wiping out needless Government acti
vities taxes could be heavily cut. Sen
ator King is preparing a Tax Bill which
proposes a cut of at least a half billion
dollars, and perhaps $750,000,000. These
leaders and others will try to get the
Democratic caucuses to. advocate reduc
tions all along the line in excess of the
Mellon plan.

(By Special Cable to the Herald.) *
NEW YORK, Tuesday.—Wilder than the most hectic day on the Stock
Exchange was a. revival of the Rockaway .real estate boom at 10 o’clock last
night, with thousands of people making snap transactions involving millions,
of dollars in the hope of getting on “easy street” by virtue of a tip which
still is called a rumor. Far Rockaway, with its hundreds of cheap cottages,
j was literally mad with such a frenzied desire as has been attributed to the
gold rush of ’49, the Chicago grain pit and other places where men forget
all but the lust for fortune.
City Hall Perplexed.
As perplexed as the real estate specu
lators are reckless is the City Hall over
the report that a nine-mile board walk
will be constructed at Rockaway, making
the vacation spot for the middle-classes
a replica of Atlantic City. Certain of
the forthcoming board walk were aged
widows who struggled with young men
in an effort to reach dealers or private
sellers. Contracts fluttered about like
so many paper napkins between the
excited negotiators. Some of them
walked away with an exuberance that
was mental intoxication. They talked
confidently of the fast-approaching day
when they would be offered many thou
sands of dollars for a sandy, bit of land
by, some large . hotel syndicate seeking
to buy up large tracts in anticipation of
a nation’s patronage of a new great
resort, the miracle wrought by a nine-
mile board walk. Others scribbled out
cheeks for large amounts in payment
for land previously worth a song, and,
almost without taking a step, resold
the scrap of paper for double the sum.
“Realtors*’ Perspire.
Perspiring “realtors” kept on working
while giving interviews. “It is a run
away market and there is absolutely
nothing to base it on,” declared one,
voicing the general expert opinion.
Asked about the rumored construction of
a board walk the “realtors" replied,
“Maybe it’s true but we know nothing
about it.” Meanwhile paper continued
to be passed around, the same contract
changing hands many times. At mid
night a crowd of 4,GOO surged the side
walks near Edgemere Station and did
business in the roads. Many of the
buyers, were accompanied by their law
yers who cast a hasty eye over the papers
to see that they were in order.
To-day the boom was transferred to
banks which labored under a flood of
checks. - lt was rumored that'many thou

STEAH SHIP SAILS
WITH MUTINEERS
(By Special Cable to the Herald.)
NEW YORK, Tuesday.—There was a
sequel in the Magistrate’s Court last
night to the serious rioting on board
the Spanish steamer Antonio Lopez yes
terday when 150 recruits for the Spanish
forces in Morocco -started an insurrection
against the captain and officers of the
ship and the police had to be called in
to quell the disturbance. Six of the
men jumped overboard and five were
captured but the other either drowned
or escaped.
An attorney appeared in court last
night asking a warrant for the arrest of
the skipper. The lawyer alleged' that
Captain Muslera had chained some of
the recruits-, who came from Cuba and
South America, on the main deck and
in full view of people in the streets of
lower New York. The Magistrate de
clared he had no jurisdiction in the
matter and dismissed the application.
The liner sailed to-day for Cadiz,
where the remits will be turned over to
the military authorities- and proceed at
once to Morocco to fight the Riffians.
BEER TAX PROPOSED
FOR COAL SUBSIDY
Tammany Leaders Prepared
Wage Bitter Fight Against
Mayor.
- (By Special Cable to the Herald.)
NEW YORK. Tuesday.—Local politi
cal skies cleared somewhat to-day, and
Mayor Hylan and Tammany Hall came
'to a'final parting of the ways whe’n the
Mayor came out for the first time with
a definite announcement that he will
abide by the decision cf the Democra
tic primaries in the event that he
enters the race as an independent can
didate.
Mayor Has Support.
This announcement is taken to mean
that the Big Five, the Borough leaders
in Tammany, unable either to accept or
reject Mr.. Hylan as a candidate, have
come to an open break and that the
Mayor has finally decided to draw out
of the organisation, 1 possibly taking with
him Mr. John H. MeCooey, the boss of
Brooklyn and Queens. With this support
in his home Borough, and probably the
support of Richmond, ihe Mayor is pre
pared to contest the primaries with
Judge Olvany.
The Tammany boss retains the support
of Manhattan and the Bronx, whose
voting strength is much greater than the
other Boroughs, but it is admitted that
Mr. Hylan, running as an independent,
may cut. seriously -into the Tammany
Strength in the Bronx where he has a
large following.
Determined to make the break with
the Mayor even at the expense of driving
Boss MeCooey -out of the organisation,
the anti-Hylan leaders in Tammany
have been for several weeks perfecting
well-laid plans in all Borough, nad
every friendly force outside the Wigwam
is being mustered to the support of the
Tammany candidate'to be named soon.
Tammany Confident.
It was also pointed out to-day that the
definite break will possibly lead to a
finish 'fight between Olvany and Mc-
Cooey for the real party leadership, but
Tammany seems prepared for the battle
and ready to take on MeCooey, Connolly,
of Queens and Rendt, of Richmond, if
all three line up behind the Mayor. The
Tammany leaders who remained in the
fold expressed confidence in the success
of the organisation candidate, whoever
lie is, pointing to the vote, in the last
State election as an indication of the
strength of the organisation.
It now remains for Fourteenth street
to name its candidate and the announce
ment is expected within a few days.
Whea that happens and campaigning
starts in the five Boroughs it will he
possible to tell just how much strength
the Mayor can rally to his cause in his
first attempt without the Tammany en
dorsement.

LONDON, Tuesday.—-What the Gov
ernment coal subsidy means will be
brought home strikingly to Britons if
Mr. Churchill’s plan of a beer tax of
one .penny, a pint to find the extra re
venue goes through. Apparently inspired
statements appeared in. the evening
newspapers to-day to the effect that the
Chancellor of the Exchequer had de-,
cided on this method of raising the
necessary money for the subsidy.
No more unpopular method of raising
the money could well be imagined, but
Mr. Churchill's critics say he is really
planning clever propaganda- of indelibly
stamping in the public mind hostility
to any future subsidies.
As computed, the penny tax on beer
would yield just under £20,000,00*0.

CHICAGO, Tuesday.—Once again hope
that Russell Scott might be saved from
the gallows faded to-day during the hear
ing on his insanity when Judge David
refused to let the former multi-mib
lionaire’s mother testify regarding the
Scott family history. Judge David ruled’
that the hearing only . concerned the
question of whether Scott had been in
sane since the death sentence was im
posed on him for the shooting of Joseph
Maurer, drugstore clerk, on February 14.
Dr. H. S. Hulbert, alienist, who was
an expert witness in the Lo-eb and
Leopold trial, testified as to his conclu
sion that Scott was insane between many
objections and emphatic rulings by the
court. Long arguments were heard in
chambers, but they failed to alter the
court’s attitude . that Scott must be
proved to have gone insane singe the
death sentence was imposed.

REBUKES AMERICAN
CRITICS OF AMERICA
Burton Has Hard Words for
Tourists Who Run Down Their
Country While in Europe.
(By Special Cable to the Herald.)
WASHINGTON, Tuesday. — Americans
visiting Europe were sternly rebuked for
“flattering foreigners and ridiculing the
United States” by Representative -Theo
dore E. Burton, of Ohio, who arrived here
to-day to take up his duties oh the debt
funding commission.
Mr. Burton said that by flattering for
eigners and ridiculing the United-
States, some Americans were creating a
real problem and increasing the difficul
ties that confront diplomatic emissaries
of the United States in Europe. “If there
is any criticism of vour own'country,
make it at home,” declared Mr. Burton.
“I refer particularly to semi-expatriates
who seem* to lose loyalty to their own
country as soon as they set foot in Eu
rope. I refer particularly also to visiting
American churchmen who said that the
most popular girls in America are those
who got drunk, and who assume a ten
dency to knock the United States. They
are prompted by two ideas, first, no
toriety, second, to say something pleasing
to Europeans.”
Mr. Burton returned recently from Eu
rope, where he represented the United
States at the Geneva Conference for the
control of traffic in arms.
Thousand Children
In Perilous Crash
(By Special Cable to the Herald.)
N EW YORK, Tuesday.—Wholesale
drowning, as in the Eastland
disaster at Chicago some years ago,
appeared imminent yesterday when
the Lamport and Holt freighter
Van Dyck collided with a hospital
barge carrying 1,000 children, their
nurses and mothers, while the
patients were having their summer
outing. Panic swept,the barge pas
sengers for a brief moment. Sev
eral frenzied mothers tried to jump
■overboard. Only the quick and
concerted action of the nurses pre
vented a disaster. The children
appeared the least concerned.
Neither barge nor freighter was
badly damaged.
RADICALISM IS
DEAD IN WEST
COOLIDGE TOLD
Iowa G.O.P. Leader Dis
cusses Farm Relief with
President.
(By Special Cable to the Herald.)
SWAMPISCOTT, Mass., Tuesday.—That
Radicalism is dead both economically
and as a political issue in the West with
the passing of the late Senator Robert
M. La Follette and discontent has all
hut disappeared throughout the corn
belt, was the good news brought to
President Coolidge to-day by Mr. John
T. Adams, Republican National Com-
mitteman from Iowa. The Western
farmer had previously been pointed to
as. the chief instance of Instability in
the - Republican prospects for the fall
and Mr. Adams’ report that the big
com crop, the high prices and the
prospect of a return of real prosperity
are effectively silencing the agitation
for radidal panaceas was received with
gratification at White Court.
Sullivan Agrees.
Mark Sullivan, writing in The New
York Herald Tribune agrees with this
view and says that the \\ estern farmers
have been trying to impress President
Coolidge, the Cabinet and the Eastern
leaders of the party with a view that
considers the farmer not merely as one
industrial element in the community,
but as the fundamental basis of the
country. Mark Sullivan continues:—
The political insurgency in the West,
according to competent surveys, aims,
for the present, not at rebuking Coolidge
or displacing the Republicans, -but
rather at supplanting some of the pre
sent Western Republican Senators and
Congressmen with ones having a point
of view more pugnaciously active in
farmers’ interests. As it has been ex
pressed, the Western aim is not to cause
Coolidge any kind of disadvantage, but
rather to get a leverage on him, to get
his attention, to cause him to look to
the West and reflect the West. The
West wants to be heard from at Wash
ington.
The Western farmers’ present com
plaint rests on an uneasy suspicion that
they and their industry have been cast
for a neglected role in the country as
it starts a new era. They recognise that
they are in a better state than at any
other time during the last five years.
But they are still less favored than most
other industries and they apprehend
that their present condition is destined
to he their permanent one.
Farm Commission Sought.
In addition to this general mood the
Western farmer has two concrete ob
jectives. One has been put into definite
form by the leader of the farm bloc.
Representative Dickinson, of Iowa, and
will be introduced in the coming Con
gress.
This farm bloc proposal has been
altered somewhat from the McNary-
Haugen Bill to meet the objections of
those who regarded the McNary-Haugen
Bill as radically paternalistic. In spite
of the changes, the new proposal con
tains the same elements that were dis
approved by the Administration and by
others as being impracticable. The new
measure proposes that there shall be a
Federal farm commission. It is to be
appointed by the President from a list
proposed by the farm organisations. One
member would be the Secretary of Agri-

British Home Secretary Makes
Interesting Comparisons Before
World Prison Conference.
(By Special Leased Wire.)
LONDON, Tuesday.—The striking de
crease in crime in this country and the
changed spirit in which prisons are
now administered was stressed by. the
Home Secretary', Sir William Joynson-
Hjcks,'at'the opening'here to-day of the
Ninth International Prison Conference,
at which ’ twenty-four nations, .including
the United 'States, are represented.
Despite the increase in population,
there are only 8,000 persons in local
prisons to-clay, a ■ compared with 20,000
fifty years ago, and only 1.600 in penal
servitude, as compared with 10.000.
scribed by the Home Secretary, one
being the organisation of Wormwood
Scrubbs Prison as a separate establish
ment for first offenders, and the other
the reservation at Wakefield Prison for
persons whose sentences were long
enough to enable them to take advan
tage of industrial training.
“A man must not come from prison
in such a condition of mind and body
that he is no longer fit to take his place
in society,” the Minister declared, as
serting that it was the objecl -of prison
administrators to restore prisoners to a
state of normal citizenship.
Describing the sytern of voluntary edu
cation now inaugurated in prisons, he
claimed that the atmosphere of prisons-
to-day was one of hope rather than of
despair, and that there was co-operation
by prisoners with the prison regime ra
ther than opposition to it.
(By Special Cable to the Herald.)
ATLANTIC CITY, Tuesday.—Appa
rently nothing will avert a nation
wide strike in the antnracite coal fields
on September 1. Without getting into
a real discussion on ihe eight demands
of the miners, an open break in the
conference of operators and miners
came this morning on a technical point
o ith the probability that the conference
will be definitely ended late to-night.
“Autocratic Move.”
Headed by Mr. John L. Lewis, presi
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America, the miners this morning re
fused to deal with a “spokesman” for
the operators. The latter sent down Mt.
Samuel D. Warriner with full and ample
powers to conclude an agreement with
the miners. The sending of a single
delegate to conduct negotiations was
considered as a highly autocratic move.
Despite the prominence of Mr. War
riner, and his familiarity with the
situation the miners flatly refused to
consider dealing with him alone. They
demanded that the more important
operators. come to Atlantic City, sit
around the table and discuss the eight
fold problem with them 'man to man.
The operators sent word that Air.
Warriner alone would be entirely satis
factory to them.
Both Sides Firm.
It appeared extremely doubtful that
either side would change its views.
Rumors -immediately went around that
Mr. Lewis was preparing to quit the
conference as a signal for the September
1 strike. He refused to comment on the
rumors until the operators had been,
given a chance to reply to a complete
/statement from the miners as to their
reasons for desiring to discuss the
problems with a fuller representation.
With the impending, termination of
the conference word arrived here to-day
that a strike of both anthracite and
Bituminous miners in West Virginia
looms as a strong possibility. Van A.
Bittner, representative of the United
Mine Workers in West Virginia, has
already warned Secretary of Commerce
Hoover and Secretary of Labor Davis
than a general strike in his district
would be called if the abrogation of
wage agreements is not discontinued.
Browning Picks
Bohemian Girl
From Thousands
(By Special Cable to the Herald.)
NEW YORK, Tuesday.—After examin
ing more than 12,000 applications made
in answer to his advertisement in ‘The
New York Herald Tribune, on July 5,
seeking a daughter for adoption, Mr..
Edward W. Browning, wealthy real
estate dealer, to-day chose Maryl Stas,
a sixteen-year-old High School girl, to
become the companion of ihis foster
daughter Dorothy. Miss Stas was born
at Prague, Czechoslovakia, but New Ycrk to live when her parents im
migrated to America fifteen years ago.
This is the third time Mr/ Browning
has adopted a daughter, the former two
being separated when, he obtained a-
divorce in Paris last year, his wife tak
ing Marjorie to iivc with her and Dorothy
remaining at the Browning home in West
Eighty-first street. The Brownings were
married in. 1915, and the first child
adopted two years later, chiefly to please
Mrs. Browning. Later, because Dorothy
was lonesome, Marjorie was taken -into
the home to keep her company. But
when the Browning separation occurred
last year, Dorothy’s playmate was taken
away from her and Mr. Browning
finally decided to advertise for another
daughter.
Blackmail Letter.
In the midst of making his selection
and sandwiched in with the 12,000 letters
from applicants, Mr. Browning, on July
9, came upon one signed “Leader of a
gang of fifty,” demanding $50,000 and
threatening to shoot and kill 'both Mr.
Browning and Dorothy if the demand
was refused. Acting quickly, lie turned
the letter over :o the police and, at their
suggestion, complied with the instruc
tions ; n the letter.
On July 15, Fhilip Siegal, a, young
Pressman, was arrested on a- charge of
blackmail. Siegal's confession, which
followed shortly after his arrest, is said
to have involved certain “big names”
in the plot to extort money from the
wealthy real estate dealer. He was
held iu $25,000 arid Mr. Browning has
said that- he will parry the prosecution
to the limit.
AIR TRAFFIC RECORD.
