By EDWARD E. BRITTON
(By Special Leased Wire) '
Washington, Oct. . The ieadlines
this morning in the Washington Post,
tat "court chronicle of the Harding
administration, over ita article con
earning the tax revision bill indicate!
the present condition aa to the fight
being made againat the' outrageous
measure aa it appeared from the Fen
rose Senate finance committee. It ii in
these words:
"Seek bi partisan support on taxes,
Western Republican Senators confer
ivith Simmons on amendments to bill'
and it clearly points out the place of
the milk in the eocoanut The Demo
erata hold the whip hand in the fight
that is being made to upset the "reac
tionary eastern Republicans in their
purpose to boost the cause of the
corporations of much wealth and tbe
capitalistic millionaires who have been
financing Bepublican campaigns. The
Penrose-Lodge group want to pay
Jolitical debts and insure further in
ow of funds to war chests of the party,
cad they are finding unthought of dif
ficulties in shooting (be rapids of the
turbulent stream of opposition, flood
ed by a Democratic cloudburst plus a
Western Bepublican eyclone.
Western Republicans Sec Chance.
Without the support of the Demo
crats the Western Bepublicans would
would not be able to go it alone, but
Democratic support was assured ' in
advance when on Friday of week be
fore last Senator Simmons in his merci
less analysis of the iniquities of the
Bepublican tax bill gave the Demo
cratic program of amendments which
would in some degree make the tax bill
more nearly give decent treatment to
the average citizen, L.t eight of by
the Republicans in their subserviency
to the capitalistic elaseee. The Deavo
ratio program was seised epon by the
Western "Republicans.
They "laid down the law'' to their
Colleagues of the eastern manufacturers
group, who seeing their hopes of put
ting over their pet measure laid down
to the ''agricultural bloc," , promised
concessions in order to save their faces,
but still seek some plan by which their
promises might simply be to the ear,
and prove ''scraps of paper in per
formance. The western group realize
this and Senator Lie n root, one of its
leaders, is keeping in elose tonch with
Senator Simmons with many con
ferences a day, seeing that alone in bi
partisan co-operation lies the certainty
af making the reactionary group behave
itself.
Tbe events of the week in the spec
taeular fight behind the curtains in
the Bepublican party makes it manifest
that the dominance of the eastern
group of Republicans is on the wane,
and that the western group is taking
command of the party program. In
deed things look so gloomy for the
easterners that they have called upon
President Harding as a pifrch hitter to
eave tbe day, but in the present temper
f the westerners be -will make a strik
out, for the westerners grip the Senate.
In that body there are 60 Republicans.
88 of whom eome from states classed
as Western or Middle-West, while from
New England and the Eajt eome 22
Senators. '
The Western group holds correctly
that it furnishes all the new blood in
the Bepublican party, though there are
some few scattered reactionaries from
that section, and figure tht on a show
down they could muster 27 t 33 votes
la a clinch upon tax revision amend
snents in which this group are in agree
ment with the Democrats, they aee in
the 38 votea of the Democratic Senators
the big stick argument to coerce the
Penrose Lodge crowd to accept the
amendment program. Any nnity that
may eome within the Republican Sena
torial ranks will be attained only by
the eastern group recognizing "its
'- ... - . . .l .
master ivicu m vedm, lu ma uo-
maids of the Western gronp. And
that Western group's strong card is the
Democratic program. If the country
gets any relief from the injustices pro
posed by the Penrose-Lodge-Watson
outfit It will, be because the Democrats
hare played superb "inside1 ball' in the
world series no . going on in the Senate
in the making of a tax bill.
Ia Hayaes BlaffiniT
Much comment has been heard here
over the report that Prohibition Com
xaiasioner Haynes in his announced
campaign to make America "bone dry'
has ia view the taking of the prohibi
tioa enforcement bureau oat of poll
ties and of replacing State prohibition
directors and other agents appointed
solely for political reasons with men
who have had wide experience ia de
tecting and preventing crime, and that
ho hoc administration support ia this
proposed drive to take prohibitum en
forcement out of polities. Only action
along this line will give the proof that
it is meant, s,nd if it should prove true
thea there would be a mighty shaking
ap of dry bones among a long list of
ppeiateee whose appointments arc
manifestly of political preferment.
That Mr. Baynes will bo able to do
this in the fare of the call for jobs
from the Bepublicaa plaec hunters who

"First: Mayors' emergency committees
have been created and are actively at
work in 31 cities, on the lines of the

progress.
"Second : Conferences have been held
during the past week by the President,
Scretary Hoover, and members of the
conference, with the heads of the great
National industries, including the rail
ways, eoal and shipping, from which
have resulted in definite steps un

manr practical directions.
"Third: The active participation of
tne great rsanonai commercial anu em
dIovctj associations have been assured
in definite organization of their
branches throughout the country to
assist the- Mavors and to meet the situs
tion generally. Tho United States

the unemployed and assistance to the
state and municipal authorities.

'fourth: A number of cities hare
undertaken steps for the immediate
advancement of local public works and
for definite advancement of construe
tion work in the commnnity. Steps or
ganized in this direction have been
formally reported from eight cities
"Fifth: An office has been let np
and is at work in Washington under
Col. Arthur Woods, to continue the
stimulation and co-ordination rf Ns
tional, State, and Municipal agencies,
under tbe general direction of the un

"Sixth: As the result of experience
gained in organization throughout. the
country during the past week and of
suggestions received from many quar
ters, a large amount of material is now
available for further development of
emergency measures.
Vital questions affecting the industrial
welfare of the nation will be up for
the consideration of the conference
Committees already have shaped recom
mendations involving readjustment of
wages and prices, the open shop, repeal
of the Adamson act- and a declaration
in favor of the railway funding bill.
Other subjects to be studied by the
committees include foreign trade, agri
culture and the relation of credit to
the country's economic structure.

Collides With American Ship
Belfast, Oct. 9. (By the Associated
Press.) Damaged by one vessel ia, a
dense fog off the southwest coast of
Scotland and thea sunk by another
coming to its aid wac the fate early
this morning of the Laird Line steamer
Rowan, plying between Glasgow and
Dubln. Thirteen of the Bowan's erevrf
aa dthree passengers arc missing. Two
passengers died after being rescued by
vessels which responded to the wireless
8. O. 8. call.
An official says that the Rowan car
ried 93 persons including the crew, 77
of whom are accounted for by the four
vessels which went to the Rowan's as
sistance. Aboard the Rowan was the
American Southern Syncopated Orches
tra, composed largely of colored play
era who had been touring this side of
the water since 1919. One of the men
who died after being tnken out of the
sea was Pete Robinson, the drummer of
the orchestra.
The accident was due to a double col
lision in the North channel off Oors
wall Point. The Rowan first collided
with the American steamer West Can-ink,
both of them being damaged. The
West Camak stood by with forepeak
full of water, meanwhtile sending out
wireless calls for aid. The Clan Liner
Malcolm responded, but in the confus
ion due to the heavy fog ran into the
disabled Rowan which sank immedi
ately. The West Camay belped in the rescue
work afterward putting into Glasgow
with 26 survivors. Captain Donald
Brown, of Glasgow, is renorted to have
gone down with the Rowan. Three
ether vessels also answered the call
and completed the work of rescue as
far as it was possible. i
The Syncopated orchestra which went
to London in Juno 1919 gave perform
ances there and vicinity until two
months ago, when they made a tour of
Scotland. There were originally
members, about fifteen of them British
players.
SENATE VOTES TODAY
ON PANAMA CANAL TOLLS
Opponents Of Measure Concede
Majority Vote In Favor Of
The Measure
Washington, Oct. 9. Another ehapter
is to be written tomorrow by the Senate
in the generations of controversy 'over
l'anama Canal privileges. Passage by
the Senate of the Borah Free Tolls bill
is scheduled, even the opponents of
the 'measure conceding a majority vote
in favor of it.
The bill, which would exempt Ameri
can eostwise vessels from Canal tolls
is expected by leaders to lie in the
House indefinitely, at least until after
the armament limitation conference.
The Senate vote is set for 4 o'clock to
morrow, the day having been set aside
for the bills consideration, to the ;x
elusion of the tax bill and the pending
peace treaties.
The toll measure does not apply to
American vessels in foreign commerce,
but only to those in coastwise trade. It
conforms to a plank in the Republican
platform of 1920 and to another plank
in tho Democratic platform of 1912,
but both parties are divided on the
question.' Senator Borah will gpeak to
morrow in favor of the bill, and Sena
tor Lodge, of Massachusetts, Bepubli
can leader in opposition. Senator Un
derwood, of Alabama, Democratic floor
leader, and a number of other Demo
erats, have declared they will support
the bill.
The Borah proposal would undo the
tolls repeals bill passed In 1914 at the
request of President Wilson who told
Congress that the repeal measure was
a diplomatic necessity. The reason for
Mr. Wilson's request has never been
made publie officially.

, On Soldier's Tomb
SILENCE OF BRITISH
MYSTIFIES OFFICIALS
Head Of American Army placed
In Embarrassing Position
By Halt In Plans; Expects To
Sail Soon for United States
and Another Officer Will
' Present The Medal
Paris, Oct. 9. (By the Associated
Press.) General Pershing will not go
to. London to lay the Congressional
medal on the tomb of the Hritieh un
known soldier ia Westminster Abbey,
and if the ceremony' is held another
American officer will be designated to
represent the UnitenVfltates. This an
nouncement crime tonight from a most
authoritative source.
Lack of time nvailnble for the trip
between now and October 20, when Gen
eral Pershing sails for home, is the
official explanation for his decision to
abandon his visit to England. It is
lenrned, however, that failure of the
British war office either to fix a date
for the ceremony, or, until late yester
dayw to give any explanation for not
replying to repeated inquiries from the
American embassy officials is the chief
reason for General Pershing's decision.
British Government Notified.
General ,Pernhing enme to Europe for
the purpose of laying the Congres
sional medal on the tomb of the French
and British unknown soldiers. The
Washington government so informed
the British government early in August,
and again when lie sailed. So f ir a can
be leurned no answer was received to
eitlrr rommnniei'tinn which nsked that
a date be, fixed for the ceremony and
that the General be informed.
Since his arrival in Paris further in
quirieg hnve been made at. the British
foreign office through the medium of
the American embassies in London and
Paris. One of these inquiries devel
oped tho explanation that such cere
monies usually took a long time to ar
range.
T,he specially trained battalion from
the American forces on the Ithinc which
acted as a guard of honor at the Paris
ceremony and was to have proceeded
to London returned to Cohleux this
afternoon by special train after having
been held a week in Paris awaiting
word from the British foreign office.
General Math Embarrassed
It is known that American officials
In Paris ns well as General Pershing
and his party have been mystified by
the silence of the British government
and tho matter has caused much em
barrassagent to the General. He has
been besieged with invitations to din
ners and official functions, and the un
certainty of the London arrangement
made it difficult to reply to many of
these. Some of the military men hnve
advanced the explanation that the rule
not permitting British officers and men
to accept foreign decorations might be
the cause of the situation; they fur
ther suggested that the British might
want to arrange to confer a decoration
similar in importance on Americas un
known soldier before accepting the
Congressional medal.
On the other hand, it is pointed out
that the fact that the medal was con
ferred by an act of Congress on behalf.
of the American people shall place the
decoration in a special category, where
nrdinery rules and precedents would
not apply.
American officials in Paris arc much
concerned over the matter, and fears
are expressed that an unfriendly in
terpretation might be placed on the in
cident unless a full explanation is made
of the delay and the ceremony held as
sisbn aa it can be arranged. General
Pershing would not comment on this
subject today.
WASHINGTON OFFICIALS
WILL MAKE NO COMMENT
Washington, Oct. 9. No comment was
forth coming from administration ofli
cials tonight announcement from Paris
that General Pershing would return to
the United States without stopping in
London to place the Congressional medal
on the tomb of the unknown British
soldier in Westminister Abbey. It was
generally accepted the the General's de
cision was the result of his failure to
rtce've replies to inquiries regarding
the date of this ceremony, coupled with
the necessity for his return to Washing
ton by November 1, in order that he
might serve on the official reception
committee which will greet Marshal
Foch and other military notables arriv
ing for the armament conference. In
his annonneement of General Pershing'
visit to France, Secretary Weeks stated
that if the program could be arranged
to permit his return by November l
the itinerary would include partieipa
tion in the Westminister Abbey cere
mony but otherwise another officer
would be designated for thct function
There wac no indicatioa tonight as to
the probable selection.

New York, Oct. 9. (By the Associated
Press.) Babe" Ruth made a home ran
at the Polo grounds today, bnt the hit.
a tremendous wallop into the right field
bleachers, came in the ninth inning with
nobody on base and failed ta save the
Yankees from defeat in tr fourth game
of the world series.
The Giants by the score of 4 to Z,
evened the connt of the scries, which
now stands at two victories each.
The game a snappy quickly played
contest, wns witnessed by more than
.16,000 persons, a few hundred less than
the record crowd of last Friday. Tor
seven innings it looked like a repetition
of Inst Wednesday's pitchers' battle be
tween Carl Mays and Phil Douglas,
these two twivlera again being pitted
against one another. Then- ia the
eighth, the Giants broke through Mays'
guard and scored three runs enough
to win by a pretty exhibition of con
secutive batting.
The Ginnts added another run in the
ninth, but as it turned out they already
had tho margin to win. The Yankees
were able to hit Douglas consecutively
only in tho fifth and they scored once,
their other tally bcing&ccounted for by
Ruth with his four base blow.
Both Gets Big Hand.
That the "Babe" appeared in the' game
at all was a big surprise to tire fans. It
had been feared his injured arm would
keep him out of play for the remainder
of the series and even Manager Hug
gins of the Yankees did not expect np to
an hour before game time that Ruth
would be in the line np today, announc
ing that '"Chick" Kewster would take
his place in left field. It developed,
however, that Ruth, determined to play
snd had his arm well plastered np and
shortly after 1:30 o'clock he enme on
the field in uniform and to all appear
ance as fit as ever.
The sight of the "BnmbinoV' bulky
figure drew forth a big shout of welcome
from the crowd, which was repeated
many fold when he made bis circuit
hit in the ninth. He bandied his two
fielding chances cleanly. There was noth
ing in his work at the bat to indicate
'bat his injured arm wns handicapping
him, in the least. He did not, however,
try to steal any more bases.
"I have realized one of my greaf am
bitions to make a home run in the
World's Series," Buth said after the
gume, "but I'm sorry it did not come
with men on the bases. It might have
meant the winning of the game."
Oonglaa Day's Big Star.
The real honors of the day, despite
the spectacular feat of Ruth went to the
lanky man who occupied the mound for
the National Leaguers. ''Shufflin'' Phil
Donglas' exhibition was a work of base
ball art that wss a pretty thing to watch.
He held tho heavy hitting Yankees, with
the exception of Ruth and Schang, al
most in complete subjection when hits
meant runs and grew better aa the game
drew towards its close, only Ruth being
nble to reach him to any effect in the
last three innings,
Tho Yankees' first run. in the fifth
HTls scored when Wally Schang cut loose
with a fence breaker to left for thtet
bases, scoring McNally who had reached
first on a fielder's choice. Schang was
left when M.iys grounded to Hawlingi
for the' third out.
Break Comes Ia Eight. k
The break of the game came in the
eighth. The lively Yankeo infield had
brnkcn up an incipient Giant rally in
the previous inning by a "fast double
play, but in their next turn at bat,
Manager McGraw's men went at it
again with a determination that would
not be broken down.
''Irish" Meuspl started it by hitting
the first ball pitched to far left center
for three bases. This set the Giant
rooters cheering and they went wild
when Rawlings speedily singled to cen
ter, scoring Meusel with the tieing tally.
Mays was in rather a bad way here,
fot, a run was in and a man wis on
first with none out. Matters became
worse for him when he missed Snyder's
bunt in a headlong dive for it with
the result that Snyder landed safely
m first and It&nlings on second. They
both moved up on Douglas' sacrifice
nhea Mays threw to Ward, barely get
ting the hatter.
George Burns Score Two.
Then up stepped George Barns, who
previously hud found the range with a
single ntf Mays in the sixth. Barns'
aim was even better this time for he
drove a slashing double to left, scoring
Snyder snd Rtiwlings and putting the
Giants two runs to the good.
There was still only one man out,
I ut Mays put on moro steam, causing
Bancroft to fly to Ruth and Frisch to
foul to Schang. The Giants' final run,
in the ninth came when George Kelly
broke the ice for his first hit of the
series, a double to left and scored on
Emil Mensel's single. '
