Upon By Senate Committee. SUBMIT MAJORITY REPORT Aggregate Expenditure For ; Fiscal Year 1923 Will Be As Large As In 1922. RAILROAD COST EXCEPTED Experts Future That Approximately f880,000,000 la Rerenae Maat Be Produced By Internal Taxe. In 1023. (d AtMoWat mo.) Washington, Sept 24. A shrinkage of more than $1,000,000,000 In Income and excess profits taxes this fiscal year was reckoned upon by the senate finance committee In revising the house tax bill with a 'view of raising $3, 124,000.000 in Internal revenue In the 12 months ending next June SO. This was disclosed by the majority report approved today by committee Republicans and made public. The es timated total of revenue under the bill Is (136,000,000 less than treasury ex- - - perts have figured would be returned this fiscal year under the present law, but Is $84,000,000 more than the revis ed total under the house bill. Estimated returns this fiscal year from Income and profits taxes are 11,- ." 480.000,000 according to the report, as against approximately 13,000,000,000 of actual collections In the fiscal year ended last June 30. Only about $50, 000,000 of this difference of $1,120,000, 000 Is accounted for by change, pro posed in the present law. Treasury officers and committee members ex plained that the remainder Is charged off to shrinkage on account of susi nesa depression, diversion of funds to tax exempt securities and other causes. Declaring that the $3,324,000,000 total -proposed imae the revised -. bill . tas only $62,000,000 more than the treasury had estimated would have to be raised through Internal taxes, the report said that this was a "a margin of safety none too large for the fiscal year, 1022 In view of the existing business de pression, and the uncertainty attach ing to the yield of tho Income and ' profits taxes." "Tour committee has acted,"' the re port said, "on the assumption that with the exception of the special rail road expenditures which will be neariy If not wholly completed In the fiscal year 1922 the aggregate expenditure for the fiscal year 1923 will be sub stantially as large as In the fiscal year 1022. Special railroad expenditures in cluded In the 1922 budget amount, in mind figures, to $500,000,000; and the receipts from customs and miscellane ous sources for the fiscal year 1923 are estimated at $730,000,000. Deducting both amounts ($1,230,000,000) from the total estimated expenditure" forim ($4,034. 730,000) leaves in round figures $2,800,000,000 to be supplied by intern al taxes for the fiscal year 1923. "The revenue bill as recommended by your committee will raise during 1923, It is estimated. $2,735,700,000. The dif ference or deficit of $65,000,000 about equal to the corresponding surplus for the fiscal year 1922 can and should be avoided by saving and economies. Tour committee deliberately recom mends a tax program to meet ordinary expenditures on the present scale, as sumes that a reasonable measure of retrenchment and reductions will be accomplished."

The machine, loaded with folks rushing to the gospel tent In Spencer, where Cyclone Mack Is holding a revival, was somewhat dam aged but the occupants escaped Injury.

Huntley-Stockton-Hill Decides to Build in Fall Or Spring, A SIX-STORY STRUCTURE It Will Front 35 Feet On North klm and Run 309 Feet to Greene. COST OF LAND IS $50,000 Furniture Compnny To Oerupy Entire Building Excepting Top Floor, On ' Which Offices For Rent Will Be Unlit. Directors of the Huntley-Stockton-Hill company yesterday afternoon com pleted arrangements for the purchase from Clem O. Wright of a section of me wrignt property on North Elm street, 35 feet front and JOS feet deep, running all the way back to Greene street, and at the same time announced that they will build on this property a modern furniture store six stories high covering the entire property, the building alone to cost approximately $150,000. Work will start this fall or WOMB the spring. .. The transfer of part of the Valuable Wright property on North Elm street In Itself constitutes one of the largest real estate deals In recent months, and the plans for the new Huntley-Stock-ton-Hlll store, whloh call for one of the largest, most beautiful, and most com plete stores In the state, form a strik ing indication of the business situation in Greensboro and of this firm's faith In the city. Both Mr. "Wright ana thr HUTitley- Stockton-Hill directors were unwilling to annpunce the purchase price for the real estate, but real estate men esti mated yesterday that probably $50,000 at least was Involved in the property alone. The section Involved lies be tween the city hall and the site of the old Wright home. It fronts 35 feet on North Elm street and runs back the same width all the way to Oreene street. The distance between, the two streets at this point is 300 feet. The Elm street front is near the heart of the business section, and the Oreene street entrance to the property Is located near the new tobacco ware houses. Entrances to the new store will be made on both streets. Plans for the new building, although still in the formative stage, indicate that Huntley-Stockton-Hill company will have one of the largest, most mod ern, and most conveniently arranged buildings In the city, with a large amount of floor, show, and storage space. It will be ill stories high with a basement. The furniture company will occupy the entire building with the exception of the top floor, on which 40 offices for general rental use will be constructed, all of them outside rooms. To Be Ideally Constructed. The building will be ideally con structed for use by the furniture com pany. The main entrance will be on Elm street, but there will also be an entrance on Oreene street; the ele vators and the entrance for the offices on the top floor will be on the Elm street side. Midway of the building on the first floor will be the general offices of the Huntley-Stockton-Hill company, and also the shipping depart mertt with Improved facilities for load lng trucks. The arrangement of the upper floors will be such that, the stock may be placed in departments on each floor, tnereDy permitting greater conven lence for shqppers. The additional space which the large building will afford will enable the company to handle much larger stooki than heretofore, ana win increase tne general con venience In conducting the business. Absolutely fire-proof and of modern construction throughout, the new building will he at the same time beautiful structure. No architect's plans have been drawn yet, but the officers of the company plan to spare no pains to make the building of un usual beauty. They think they have obtained the best possible location for the store and they plan to make their building a landmark for Elm street and Greensboro. The increased and rapidly growing Business or tne Huntlev-Stookton-Hill company, which has been In Greensboro 17 years, led Its officers to seek for larger quarters, and some time ago they broached the subject to Mr. Wright. Negotiations were concluded several days ago and were confirmed by the directors yesterday at a meeting In the company offices. An Inteiesting sidelight on the sale of the property by Mr. Wright Is the fact that the building in which the Huntley-Stockton-Hill company 1b now was built for the company by Mr. Wright, A. M. Scales, and others. The company Itself Is one of the largest and best known furniture companies in the South, with BtOres both in Greensboro and in Winston Salem.

UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT" (, AancUUd Pre..) . i i Ban Francises, Sept, I4r Alfred Bern- naoher declined to repeat aloud from the witness stand today the detail, of Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle's description of his treatment of Miss Virginia Rappe at the revel which preceded the girl's death, and instead wrote them on a paper which he showed to the at torney, and to Police Judge Bvlvaln Lasarua, who Is bearing the murder complaint against tha film comedian. He nrst said that Arbuckle's story of tne incident, told to him, Lowell Sher man, Fred Flschbaeh and Arbuckle's chauffer, Harry McCullough and which involved the use of Ice, caused a gen eral laugh. When the details were de manded, he objected to testifying verDauy. No one remonstrated at Arbuckle's tale, according to the witness, who said it was told ln Arbuckle's suite at the Hotel St. Francis where the drinking party had taken plane the afternoon before. Other conversation about the affair was limited to discussion of the Intoxicated condition of some of the participants, Bemnacher said. He tes tified yesterday that he had only coffee to drink. In answer to question, from Ar buckle's attorneys, Semnaoher said he had observed nothing Improper In Ar buckle's action, toward Miss Rappe or any other woman at the party. When the news of Miss Rappe', death wa, brought by a newspaper reporter to ArDuckle, Sherman, Flschbaeh and Bemnacher In Los Angeles, the eve ning of September 0, Bemnacher de clared Arbuckle expressed regret at her ate. All of the group epoke of her death as an "unfortunate accident which they could not understand," ac cording to the witness, and Arbuckle, after a discussion of what had better be done, tolephoned to the chief of police In San Francisco offering to come north Immediately If he was wanted. Bemnacher was the first witness to o subjected to questioning by the de fense and these Inquiries were but few. Aside from' hi, statement regarding rbuckle's conduct at the party, the defense drew from him an admission that Frank Domlnguez, chief defense counsel, had told him to toll the en tire truth to Captain of Detective, Duncan Matheson and that the de fense had never heard his version of the case. : mo prosecution introduced as ex- Ihlt, the garments which Bemnacher said Miss Itappe wore at the Kt. Francis, and Dominguei asked the wit ess If he had seen Arbuckle wearing Miss Rappe's Tnnama hat. Bemnacher replied that he had not. The defendant entered the court room with considerably more cheerful ness than he has elnced since hi, ar rest and grinned at District Attorney attnew A. Brady s facetious compari son of their two waislllnes. Ills smile died away quickly, however, as soon as the testimony began. Todays scsalon of court occupied less than two hours.

Frailer, the latter of Danville who suceeHsfully hoodwinked a mob which had taken up the pursuit of the negro In automo biles.' The alleged attack took place at the girl's home. She was In an outhouse when the negro entered and, she al leges, selxed her. She screamed loud ly and the cries were heard by her father who ran to the outhouse Just In time to see the negro escaping, driven away by the girl's cries. Sensing what had happened Evans pursued the ne gro but he managed to escape. Word of the alleged outraged was soon nois ed abroad and search for Stamps, said to have been employed by a minister was undertaken, bloodhounds being called from Danville and taken across country. Stamps In the meantime had gone to his home changed his clothe. and had returned to Milton.. Hearing that he was wanted he appears to have made good his escape for a short wlilie. The bloodhounds took uo trail which led to Stamps' house and he was caught a short distance from there. Before publlo feeling reached a dan ger mark the girl and her father posl- lveiy identified stamps. Bryant fear ing violence from the loud talk of In tentions heard put the negro In a car and raced away to Yancey vllle. A oosse however had heard of this and several automobiles with armod men followed the fugitive. Bryant showed his pur suers a clean pair of heels and when well ahead of the rooh requisitioned another car, put the unaro In It and turned Into the Yanccyvlilc mart.
