Paris, April II Paris eoniinuos lo
liy homage to Sarah Bernhardt, liun
dreds of thousands of iersons bnve til
ed iasl her lumh in the Cemetery l'ere
Leehntae since Ihe funeral and there is
no sign that the visils of those who
Would honor her have ended.
Many new anecdotes of "Divine Sa
rah's life" are current. Most of them
relate to her supposed lltianeial em- j
liarnissment, while many are exngger-
ail ill, and some of I hem are made out I
of whole cloth. Then seims to he
little doubt that the enormous demands
on her pocketlss-k exceeded her in
onie, large as It was, at certain per
iods, particularly while she was tour
ing Aiuerh a.
One old friend who kept a restau
rant near the Theatre Sarah Bern-
bardt, was asked ahotlt a rumor Ihat !
the actress never naid for the meals I
nerved her there.
"It is true," he said, "that I never
naked her for money, nnd that she nev
er offered me any: hut thai was be
tween us; it was no one else's busi
ness. Everybody around hen knew 1
was serving her suppers alter the
theatre. That was enough for me."
This anecdote characterizes the spir
it of a good many of Bernhnnlt's cred
itors, hut there were others whose ad
miration for her art did not temper
their exactions, and a great artist
died, as she had lived during the
greater part of her career, in the initial
of fuinneinl anxieties

they replied when asked as to Ihe

THE FEDERAL TAX LAWS
Such an Opinion Is Expressed hy Sen
ator Kmoot, of l-tah.
Washington, April 11. -Belief that
it wonldlie Inexpedient for Congress at
its Divembcr session to undertake re
vision of the Federal tax laws
was expressed by Senator Smoot, re
publican, of I'tah, who is In line for
the chairmanship of the Senate Fi
nance Commltte, after a discussion to
day of lux problems with l'resldenl
Harding.
The opinion expressed by Senator
Smoot follows closely upon a state
ment made by Secretary Mellon fon
castlng that the Treasury shall re
new Us leavers to decrease the sur
tax rate from the present 5(1 per cent.
to 20 per cent., and also the state
ment made at the White House yester
day that President Harding ,ln the
event of a revision of taxes, would pre
fer ti redaction all along the line.
Senator Smool said he subscribed
fully lo the President's views that if
any reduction were made It should be
applied to all Federal taxes, hut add
ed that revision at the next session of
Congress must necessarily lie bnsisl on
guesswork. He pointed out that nut
