SAYS RELIGION IS NOT CAUSE OF IRISH FIGHT MacSwiney’s Sister Declares Protestants, Too, Are Active for Freedom. TESTIFIES IN CAPITAL WASHINGTON. Dec. B.—Tbe religious question does not enter Into Ireland's fight for independence, it was declared here today by Miss Mary MacSwiney, sister of the martyred Lord Mayor of Cork, who testified before the American Commission on Ireland. "Indeed,” Said Miss MacSwiney, “many of Ireland’s most reverenced leaders have been Protestants.” Miss MacSwiney was the first witness to appear before the commission when it resumed its hearings? Two new members were seated, ex-Senator J. J. Martine of New Jersey, and Senator Thomas F. Walsh of Montana, Congressman-elect C. L. Knight of Akron. Ohio, also has an invitation to become a member. Miss MacSwiney began beT testimony with a detailed account of the causes for the Irish troubles -of today. She explained Ireland's history and that of her family, ~ the members of which she told the commission with flashing eyes, had always been identified with the fight for Irish freedom. "This is not anew fight,” she declared. “It is merely the continuation of a flght begun centuries ago. It is not a rebellion, for a rebellion can only be made against a legally constituted authority. This Is an insurrection, an insurrection against a tyrannical authority which Ireland has never recognized.” Ireland has suffered from landlord tyranny for years, she said. One particular thing which the Irish object to, she said, was that Catholic parishes were forced to contribute to the support ot non-Catholic clergy who did not reside In Ireland and who were paid out of public funds, gathered in taxes. In anticipation of hearing Mrs. Muriel MeSwiney, widow of the lord mayor, a great crowd gathered about 419 Seventh street, where the hearing was held. L Is planned to put the widow on the stand later in the day. CABINET VIEWS PEACE OVERTURES LONDON, Dec. B.—A foil session of the ■’cabinet was held to discuss the Irish peace overtures from Father Michaei O'Flanagan, acting president of the Sinr. Fein. From a well informed source it was learned that a reply probably will be sent to Father O'Flanagan’s telegram asking for further information as to his powers and what guarantees he is able to offer. "Hope for peace in Ireland before Christmas is fading,” said the Globe, in commenting upon the Irish truce efforts Dispatches from Dublin and other Ir'sb cities to the Westminster Gazette say that "amazement has been aroused in Ireland by the announcement in the House of Commons by Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief secretary for Ireland, that the government will not enter into a truce until the leaders of the Irish republican army are arrested or have surrendered.” “The moderates were winning reaee. but now they have been blocked,” said a Dublin dispatch to the Westminster Gazette.

Should the lead prove up to expectations of Attorney Brown an official probably will be dispatched immed.ateiy to El Paso for the woman’s arrest and instructions that she be placed in custody and returned to Ardmore.

Hamon, Oklahoma oil king, made the declaration Just before he disappeared fire weeks ago that he was going to see the millionaire and “hare It out with him,"’ was the declaration made here by Ruth Walker Hamou, preae.it wife of Frank Hamon. She declared that her husband had received a check for sUj© a month regularly from Hamon, the oil man, for haring married the Smith woman, but he was disgruntled because he learned Mrs Jacob Hamon was receiving an allowance of SI,OOO a month.

Before coming to'California, Mrs. Hamon said, her husband had attempted to take her to Oklahoma, but had been told by his uncle, Jake Hamon, to '‘clear out and never bring that woman around here.” She told of meeting Clara Smith Hamon In Tucson, Ariz., and declared the Smith woman at that time had showed her an automatic pistol. "She told me she always carried It for protection,” *sid Ruth Walker Hamon. Mrs. Hamon said she had been able to secure no trace of her husband since his disappearance five seeks ago.

Disposal of Rat Tails Worries City Controller's Office Employes Lie Awake Trying to Dope Out Scheme for Handling Them. Employes in the city controller's office almost lie awake nights trying to figure out what they are going to do with the rat tails which will begin to roll in by the hundreds when people, particularly school children, learn that the City council has passed an ordinance providing a bounty of 5 cents for each caudal appendage delivered. The employes are living in hope that the -slaughter of the rodents will not become wholesale until City Controller Bryson recovers from an illness which confines him to his home at present so that be. and not they, may work out a scheme for the disposal of the tails. The controller’s office cannot get-away from handling the tails because the ordinance specifically provides that the controller shall pay the bounty on those delleverd. It will be necessary to keep close track of all brought in to make sure that those for which Willis Jones is paid do not get into the hands of Johnny Smith so he. too. can collect on them. Various schemes are being suggested. Here ere some of them: Install a cold storage room so they may be preserved for the scrutiny of the' State board of accounts at any time Chief Examiner Jesse Eschbach gets suspicious that the outgo of nickels exceeds the income of tails. Burn ’em in the city hall furnace, providing the neighbors do not threaten to dynamite the place because of the smell. Ship ’em to China. Bury ’em on Seller’s farm and stick the Job on some hapless official whom the administration would like to get rid of but hasn't got the nerve to openly demand a resignation. Pass ’em on to the board of sanitary commissioners for the city garbage reduction plant in the hope that Board Member Lucius B. Swift may be able to show a balance on the profit side of the ledger from the sale of the grease extracted. HOUSTON MAKES TAX PROPOSALS (Continued From Page One.) per cent, corporation profits should not be permitted to escape with a single tax of only 10 per cent. When the excess profits tax is repealed some equivalent of compensatory tax should be placed on the corporation in lieu of the surtax on reinvested Income paid by other taxpayers, he said. ONE SUBSTITUTE ADVANCED. One partial substitute for the excess profits tax would be a tax on undistributed profile of corporations, as nearly as possible equal to the surtax Imposed on the saved income of the individual. If individuals doing business in partnership pay 20 per cent ou undistributed profits, individuals doing business as a corporation should pay 20 per cent. Houston urged that if an undistributed profits tax be adopted Congress shoul i prohibit various devices by which corporations distribute statutory "dividends” while actually retaining their [rofits in business. He urged the advisability of requiring every corporation, 95 per cent of whose stock is held by a single individual, to be treated as u partnership or personal service corporation. Losses in revenue through repeal of excess profits probably will amount to $200,000,000, which must be made up in new taxes. INCOME SURTAX RECOMMENDATION. 2. Income surtaxes must undergo drastic modifications, as they are' excessive and driving wealthier taxpayers to transfer thetr investments in tax free se curities, setting up needless sud dangerous competition with industrial and railroad securities, with consequent impediments to business development and foreign trade expansion, the secretary asserted. “The effective way to tax the rich is to adopt rates which do not force investment in tax exempt securities," he said. 3. Consumption taxes are recommended to re-ch a class of surplus income of “taxable capacity," but from which the Government derives no revenue. This proposal is designed to cover, the sectary said, luxurious and wasteful consumption among those persons who do not ordinarily pay Income tax. Repeal of taxes on fountain drinks, ice cream and other similar articles of food and drink, imposed by present revenue laws. Is recommended, and Congress is urged to substitute' heavier taxes on certain other luxuries. Regauling low excise and luxury taxes, the secretary said: “It is not necessary to tax every lux nry. It is desirable to avoid absolute necessaries of life, because some Individuals have little or no waste income to be tapped either directly or Indirectly.” Present luxury taxes are defined poorly and uncertain and difficult of collection, the secretary said.

WILSON’S TIPS TO BE SKIRTED \ WASHINGTON. Dec. B.—President Wilson's recommendations to Congress are to I be dismissed with scant consideration by Republican leaders, they made plain to- ! day in Informal discussions of the message read to the two Houses yesterday. The Republics) s said An effect that while they agree with Wilson that the reconstruction job should be tackled and finished as soon as possible, there is no hope of agreeing with him as to the methods to be followed. One exception was noted iu the general | rejection of the President’s request for i immediate action. This was the budget I bill, which is scheduled to pass the Senj ate soon and go to Wilson. | Tax revision will be deferred. There j Is a strong feeling that something should jbe done for the disabled soldiers and sailors, but that too will have to wait, I Recording to present plans. Govern- : mental economy cannot be brought about I fully until Governmental reorganization I is accomplished under the next administration, leaders maintained, i The recommendation for a loan to j Armenia was scouted on all sides. There is a wide varience of opinion regarding ■ she Philippines. The laws Wilson has i twice asked to regulate cold storage again will fail to pass, it was declared. I His proposal to license all concerns doi Ing an Interstate business was greeted by Republicans and many Democrats with the condemnation that It was | “socialistic” or paternalistic. _ Attorney Davis to AddressJ>edit Men Lawrence B.

Mrs. Warren G. Harding, the next first indy of the land, Is going to “the city” to buy her White infuse clothes. Mrs. Harding hasn’t decided Just what she will buy, but she may change her mind several times, so New York shep keepers will have to guess along in laying in their stocks for the present. “I didn’t have a minute during the campaign to buy any clothes," Mrs. Harding said, discussing the state oT her wardrobe. “But I’m going to make up for it now.”

Steps for the formation of such an organization are being taken by Ele Stansbury, State attorney general, and bis son, Dale. Letters are being forwarded to every ; county sheriff In the United States setting forth In part the details of the organization and Inquiring of them whether they’ would act In behalf of the institution of the organization. While the plans for the agency have not yet i been completed by Mr. Stansbury, he has laid the foundation for the work. Should the agency bo given cooperation from the -persons to whom the letters are sent, Mr. Stansbury will devote his entire time to the project after he retires from office Jan. 1, 1921, in favor of U. S. Lesh, attorney general-elect.

VIEWS GIVEN ON HARDINGVISIT Impression in Washington Is That Senator Didn’t Divulge Plans. WASHINGTON, Dec. B.—lmpressions created on members erf Congress by the brief visit of President-elect Harding were being exchanged today by those with whom he conferred. A summary of the impressions showed: That Harding did not reveal anything detailed or specific regarding his plans, either as to domestic questions or foreign relatione. That he expected to depend on Congress to help formulate details of his policy with, respect to many things. That he had not committed himself to any individual with regard to Cabinet places. That he expected Congress to be ready to tackle the work he had for it as soon as he takes office. Senators with whom Harding discussed foreign affairs declared that in their opinion the President-elect has not yet evolved any plan for an association of nations. It was intimated that Harding was advised not to Invite any prominent Democrats to Marlon this winter. It was pointed out that they are not in a posi- I tlon to advise him and at the*same time be fully loyal to President Wilson so long as Wilson Is President.
