po of republican congrtiional
leader to bring it forth later a

Smoot amendment to the tax rcvi

even larger than wai that lait night
againit the Smoot I per cent manu
facture' aalca tax. The vote to
day wai 4o to 25 ai compared to A3
to 25 last night.
- Ai was the cant with the manufac
turer! tax, the democrats voted
solidly against the business tax. They
were joined by 22 republicans, three
of whom Fernald of Maine. Good
ing of Idaho, and Keyes of New
Hampshire voted for the manufac
turers' tax. ' Six republicans who
did not vote last night brandegee,
Connecticut; Calder, New York;
Dillingham, Vermont; Hale, Maine;
Marrcld, Oklahoma, and Johnson,
California supported the amend
ment today.
(, ; Less Than Estimate.
' Three republicans who supported
the manufacturers' tax did not vote
today. They were: Edge, New Jer
sey; Ernst, Kentucky, and Warren,
Wyoming. Counting senators who
Were paired, it was estimated that
She maximum vote, which would
ave been cast for the sales tax was
34, or tome six less that it had been
estimated would support it. Some
senators thought that the debate re
sulted in the loss of some votes.
I The' senate continued considera
tion of the tax bill at a session to
night, but with the soldier bonus
and other important amendments
yet to be disposed of, republican
leaders abandoned hope for passage
of the bill this week. They sought
1o obtain unanimous consent for a
final vote at 3 p. m. Tuesday, with
time limited after 3 p. m. Monday,
but the plan fell through, after some
debate.
Several senators, who want to go
home to vote in local elections, ob
jected to a vote on Tuesday, and
.asked that some hour on Wednes
day be fixed. There seemed pros
pects of an agreement on this, but
' Senator Jones, democrat, New Mex
ico, protesting against the limiting
jbf debate, objected to the agree
ment as drafted. This ended the ef
fort' to obtain unanimous consent lor
ia vote, but negotiations 'to this' end
'probably will be renewed tomorrow.
Continue Auto Tax.
; Urging his sales tax amendment,
senator smoot told, the senate tnat
.since a sales tax was to be adopted
in connection with the soldier bonus,
he thought it would be a wise plan
to put it into effect now, so as to
'.determine what rate would be neces
sary to yield the money needed. .
An unsuccessful effort was made
tonight by Senator Townsend, re
publican, Michigan, to have the 3
per cent tax on automobile trucks
and wagons repealed. The senate
voted, 36 to 27, against reconsidera
tion of the committee amendment,
proposing1 to continue this tax.
Amendments by individual senators
then were taken up, under a tacit
agreement that the session tonight
'would continue until a late hour,
r r Without a record vote the senate
adopted an amendment by Senator
Jones, democrat,-New Mexico, re
quiring corporations in making out
their income tax returns, to show
the dividends declared during the
ear lor which the return is made.
ts purpose, the author explained,
was to prevent the possibility on
concealing profits

tinguished political career. Born in
1854, he was for some time in the
foreign office service both at home
and abroad and was vice minister for
a time in 1895. He joined the late
prince I to in organizing the Seiyu
Kai party in 1900 and shortly after
ward became minister of communi
cations in the cabinet Later he
served again as head of that depart
ment of the government in the
Seiyo-Kai cabinet of 1906-8, resign
ing with the fall of that ministry
and traveling in Europe and Amer
ica in the latter part of 1908 and in
1909.
On his visit to this country he
was received by President Roose
velt in Washington in September,
1908.
M. Hara re-entered the cabinet in
1913 as minister of home affairs,
and in 1919 formed the cabinet now
in office.
Went Into Journalism.
When a youth M. Hari studied
law for a time, but forsook it for
journalism, through which work
came his introduction into the for
eign office service. During a la
ter interval in his political career,
in 1896-7, he was chief editor of the
Osaka Mainichi, and took up again
the chief membership of that paper
for a time before entering the Sai
Unii cabinet as minister of the in
terior in 1906.
In May, 1920, a plot was discovered
to assassinate Premier Hara, the de
tails coming out in November, last,
by publication of the findings of a
preliminary court, which tried a for
mer artilleryman named Ito, charged
with planning an attempt against
the premier's person. Seven bombs
were to have been employed in the
attempted assassination, which was
to have taken place on May 8. IVA),
the court findings showed.
Purchased Revolver.
It was asserted that Ito came to
Tokio and purchased a revolver and
explosives, making his bombs out
of bottles and boxes. On taking
them into the streets, however, he
was knocked down accidentally by
an auto and the police discovered
the infernal machines he had devised
and unravelled the plot.
The assassination of Premier
Hara recalls a similar dramatic inci
dent when Premier Clemenceau of
France was shot and dangerously
wounded at a time when the peace
conference, of which he was presid
ing officer, was at its height This
occurred February 19, 1919, while
Clemenceatf was going from his
home to the American headquarters
at the Hotel Crillon. Springing
from behind a kiosk, the would-be
slayer, Emil Cottin, fired a volley
of shots at the aged statesman, two
bullets taking effect, one in the
shoulder and another in the breast
near the lungs. The victim's life
was despaired of for a time, but his
iron will helped carry him through
and within three weeks he resumed
his place with the peace conference,
which had been threatened with dis
ruption by the incident
The Vienna congress after the Na
poleonic wars was similarly dis
turbed, first by a series of assassins
and then by Napoleon's dramatic
stroke in escaping from Elba and
returning in triumph to Paris.

HARTMANN
Wardrobe Trunk Week
OUR special exhibit will feature Castle Grand,
the only steel frame trunk ever built the
only trunk without a nail in its construction.
It ia not only remarkable for its strength, but gives
travelers a clothes case and protection never be
fore possible. It exploits the last word in a ward
robe trunk creation.
To merely speak of Hartmann exclusive fea
tures in this announcement would not mean much,
but to see them actually demonstrated would be
enlightening. As an example to actually see the
operation of the patented cushion top, an ex
clusive Hartmann feature, we can readily under,
stand why Hartmann has won the favor of the
many thousands of owners.
Entailing no obligation, we urge you
to attend this special exhibit, then
you will understand why Hartmann
is highest praised and yet eco
nomically priced.
