Consideration of
U.S. Tax Bill
Beulah Dale Turner
Is Granted a Divorce
I Rough and Tumble Narrowly
Averted During Debate on
Proposed Amendments
Before House.
Washington, Aug. 20. Turbulent
scenes marked consideration of
amendments to the tax bill on the
floor of the house Friday. The con
troversy between republicans and
democrats over the question as to
whether the Fordney bill lightens the
tax burdens of the rich at the ex
pense of the masses, reached such
an acute stage that the acting speak
er ordered the sergeant-at-arms to
preserve order. A rough and tumble
tight in the center aisie was narrow
ly averted.
Representative Fordney started the
fireworks when he referred to a
charge by Representative Byrnes of
South Carolina at last night's ses
sion of the house that the tax bill
was framed for the benefit of the
rich and also to reduce the taxes
of heavy contributors to the repub
lican campaign fund.
Fordney Start Row.
Mr. Fordney referred to the fact
that Mr. Byrnes had called him a
liar when he told him that he was
telling an untruth and knew it was
untrue when he made such a charge.
Mr. Fordney reiterated that such a
charge was untrue and that Mr.
Byrnes knew it was. The South
Carolina member jumped to his feet
and renewed his charge that the tax
bill is designed to help the rich.
7 Representative Chandler of Okla--Jioma,
republican, started to jump
' across the aisle at Byrnes, shouting
"You should not talk to an old man
like that."
Representative Hammer of North
i Carolina, democrat, advanced to
meet Chandler, waving his arms and
calling him to "come over here."
Acting Speaker Walsh ordered
Sergeant-at-Arms Rodgers to rush
to the scene and he arrived just in
time to keep the combatants on
their own sides of the aisle.
Mr. Fordney then apologized to
the house for what he had said and
Mr. Byrnes followed suit -nd the
matter was dropped.
Amendments Adopted.
The house, in committee of the
whole, adopted about 60 amendments
to the bill, all of them proposed by
the ways and means committee. The
chief controversy occurred over a
committee amendment relative to tne
definition of a foreign trader and a
foreign trade corporation, both of
whom, under the bill, are exempt
fmm taxation on the portion of their
income derived from outside the
United States. The amendment pro
. vided that not only must at least 80
per cent of the income come from
outside the United States, but also
at least 50 per cent of the total in
come must come from - the active
conduct of a business without the
United States by; a corporation or, in
the case of an individual, -from the
active conduct o a business, either
on his own account or as an agent
-'or another. The purpose of the SO
" per cent limitation was to prevent
the exemption from taxation of any
except those actively engaged in for
eign trade.
Democrats Open Fire.
The democrats' took the occasion
to open fire on the extension of tax
exemption to toreign traders and lor-
Another amendment adopted,
which caused a controversy, was one

provided tne toiai conirwuun
not aggregate more than 5 per cent
of the corporation's net income. 1 he
vote on this amendment was 64 to 2o.
The house also approved the com
mittee amendment eliminating the
proposed $10 annual license tax on
dealers in soft drinks.
The ways and means committee
approved ah amendment striking out
the section imposing a tax of 5 per
cent on manufacturers of medicinal
articles and another amendment
eliminating tooth paste and " tooth
powder from articles taxed similar
ly in another section. The tax would
be imposed only on perfumes, cos
metics, toilet water and similar arti
cles. The motion striking out the tax
on medicines was on the motion ot
Representative Garner, democrat.

Chancellor Wirth's confidential dis

the chancellor will present it
with the government's statement and
the necessary elucidations. He will
then request that it be ratified with
out party debate.
This request, it is believed, will
be agreed to, even by the parties
not included in the coalition group,
as an act of courtesy to the govern
ment, all of them with the excep
tion of the communists, considering
the government entitled to that ac
commodation in view of the nature
of the issues and the nation's desiie
to have relations between the two
countries restored without further
delay.
So far as can be learned, the treaty
about to be concluded through the
mediation of Mr. Dresel will be gen
eral in outline. No date has been
fixed for the reichstag vote, but it
is believed the government will en
deavor to have the event take place
simultaneously with action by the
United States senate.
Aside from the reichstag's approv
al, the treaty must also be ratified
by the reiehsrat..

Beatrice, Neb., Aug. 19. (Special
Telegram.) R. L. Stone, formerly
of Beatrice, is wanted by the author
ities of Jefferson county and Mar
shall county, Kansas, but they have
not succeeded in apprehending him.
It is alleged he secured $1,000
worth of stock in the Omaha Rubber
company from a farmer near Harbine
for the purpose of sale, and that he
is wanted at Maryville, Kan. to
take up a protested check for $85
drawn on a Beatrice bank. J Thomas
Warders, treasurer of Marshall coun
ty, was in the city in conference with
Sheriff Emery regarding Stone's
whereabouts.
Mrs. Stone recently sold the fur
niture from his office and has left the
city presumably to meet her hus
band. Stone and his wife came to
Beatrice two years ago during the
palmy days of 6tock flotation and
did considerable business in that line.
He claimed to be a brother of the
late William Stone of Missouri, but
never produced any proof of his re
lationship

Rich Furs
Lend Their
Beauty
in ever more tangible loveli-
ness to the costume of the
hour, whether it be a smaller
"piece" or a warm, luxurious
wrap ; or the hour be early or
late. Our assortments of furs
are especially beautiful this
year.
Fall Fashions
The Length
of Skirt
is delightfully undecided, so
that one may suit one's own
dearest fancy. "8 inches,"
Paris says for the tailored
frock, while that bewitching,
uneven hem line is found in
many of our lovelier gowns,
especially for evening wear.
Which brings us to the
point of
are of broader and sometimes
taller , crown, many with a
fetching tilt to the softly
shaped brim.
One Shoe or
Another
If it is for day time and street
wear, to be smart it must look
comfortable, for the walking
oxford with walking heel
seems here to stay. We are
showing an excellent new line
of these favorite low shoes at
$7.95.

ALL comes surely and fastly and with it the
crisper days and more vivid colorings which
insnirfi the fall costume. While the modes
f
themselves reflect the beauty of the golden leaf and
the ripening berry.
The many Burgess-Nash models, now assem
bled in all their beauty, assure tasteful and
individual choice in the authentic styles of
the coming season.
Many new fabrics appear in our new models. In the
silks, canton crepes hold their own, with increasing
favor, while several of our loveliest gowns are of rich
dull crepe, revealing, in the draperies, the reverse side
to be satin.
In the heavier fabrics, which are found more in the
suits and wraps, we are showing:
Wandora, Erminine, Panvolaine, Pollyanna,
Moussyn, Duvet de Lame
and the ever-desirable serge and tricotine.
At present black is a prevailing color, though many
rich new colors are far too lovely to be overlooked:
Malory Broivn, Sorrenta Blue, Zanzibar, Malay
And for late afternoon and evening the rich shades of
the acorn and the fall woods:
Copper, Flame, and Cold, Shades of Apricot
and Mulberry
in the lighter fabrics. While black and white holds
high favor.

While One
Suit
is richly trimmed with fur
and we are showing dozens of
beautiful fur-trimmed models
another is simply tailored,
longer of coat and severely
unadorned. These, doubtless,
as the colder weather ap
proaches will prove very prac
tical under the fur cloak,
which may then be slipped off
when one is once inside the
shop or theater.
The "Blouse
Gown" shows the sleeve in all its new
charm. For the blouse has
never been more lovely than
this season. It is shorter than
the French over-blouse of last
season and so exquisite that
we are ordering the skirt to
match, of the same rich fabric,
and often with the same rich
trimming, especially if that
trimming be fagoting.
The Long
Glove
is, of course, essential and you
will find these especially de
sirable in soft French kids, in
12 and 16-button lengths.
