NEED YOUNGER MEN TO PUSH SENATEWORK Mark Sullivan Suggests "Chairman. Emeritus" Place Be Created for Men with Vitality Shattered.

NO CHANGE IN SIGHT B.r MARK Stl.LIVA.Y WASHINGTON, Oct. 7 Most of the trouble about the tax bill goes straight back to the state of health of the chairman of the senate committee which has charge of the framing of the bill, namely, Penrose, of Pennsylvania. It is gross mismanagement to attempt to utilize Senator Penrose's depleted vitality by making him act as chairman of the senate finance committee, which position involves sitting in a stuffy room and listening by the hour and by thc day to arguments from innni11, .nnrlt.TS m minnie aspects of sections of the tax bill dealing with cigarettes or soda water.. That is not the sort of thing that a man in Senator Penrose's state of health is best adapted to, and it itunjust both to him and to the public to condemn him to it. It is .not surprising, if, after a long period of such experiences, a man even in the best of health should not be able to deal adequately in broad principles or listen with sufficient urbanity to varying points of view. Understands Principles. Senator Penrose ought to be saved for a different and bigger thing. He understands sound principles of taxation. 'No one understands them better. If he could be given repose and leisure, and freedom from the harassing attending the chairmanship of the finance committee, he could lay down the outline of a good tax measure, as well as any man in the state. But his time and his vitality have been consumed with petty details, and the result is a make-shift measure lor the present, coupled with the Ennouncement that the senate will wait another year before doing away with the war time tax measure and writing j a peace time one What is true of Senator Penrose i1 i also true of chairmen c! practically all the important senate committee. They are all old men. Their average ige is about 70. What the senate insists doing;, with its old men ia to . make rhem chairman of important committees, where they have to stand up under the burdensome, harrowing work which could better be done by younger men. Ought to Be Saved The older senators ought to be saved for better work than that. By analogy to college presidencies, there ought to be some such Institution as "chairman emeritus" cf each committee. These elderly senators are among the most valuable men In the body, but their value lies obviously in the years and experiences which gave them wisdom, and does not lie in, their capacity for the dreary details of committee chairmanships. In this sitation lies most of the ex planation of the present dilatoriness of congress as respects taxation, the tariff, and everything else. Every-

body knows that the public i3 angry affixing his signature to any docuabout It. ments, Mrs. Burkett said she had Every Republican leader who ia not ! asked him to do so in signing the note

among those responsible for it admits the condition and exhausts the vocab-i ulary.of explosive irritation in giving his opinion of It. The trouble Is that the fraternity of politicians results in a sealing of lips. Privately they admit it all and admit also their fear of the consequences. But publicly they won't do anything that will hurt anybody's feelings. Ought Not to Hurt. Properly seen, it ought not to hurt the feelings of a senator to be retired as chairman of a committee. It is not to be presumed that it hurt the feelings of President Eliot of Harvard, when, at the age of 70 or thereabouts. he was elevated from the position of ! President of Harvard to that of presl uc"iJmIV , , ' . uiS tenure vi me aim nis useiuiness were increasea py nis release from administrative details, which neither called for wisdom nor conferred distinction. In his new position he could give the world the maximum benefit of his wisdom and experience. That is the way the senate chairmanships ought to be looked at. No change in the present congressional situation is in sight. Everybody points to leadership by President Harding as the only solution. The specific suggestion has been made that the president should have at the White House once or twice a week a meeting similar to his cabinet meetings which should include the steering committees of the senate and nouse. Probably some senators resist that as unconstitutional in spirit. Senator LaFollette, who is a member of the steering committee of the senate, probably would refuse to attend, and Senator Borah might conceivably say that such an institution would be inconsistent which with constitutional separation between the executive and legislative departments of the government. But the great bulk of the Republicans, alarmed at the probable consequences of the present condition would welcome such a remedy. (Copyright 1921 by the New York Evening Post, Inc.)

Burkett, of Hillsdale, Ind., took the stand today in her own defense at her I trial on a charge of forging the name of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt for a note for $69,000.' Just before she was called, Louis Pabricant, a lawyer, assigned by the court to defend her. told'The lury that the defense would be insanity, even though thi3 was against Mrs. Burkett's expressed wishes, pointing out that since her arrest last July Mrs. Burkett had been under observation at the Tombs prison and the Bellevue hospital.

MOB IN MOTOR CARS ABANDONS LYNCHING OF IMPRISONED NEGRO (By Associated Press) DALLAS, Tex., Oct. 7. A large crowd of men which 'came here in motor cars from Fort Worth early today for the announced purpose of lynching David Bunn, a negro held in connec tion with the robbery of members of a house party near Fort W'orth last Tuesday night, disbanded shortly after their arrival.

DEMOCRATIC POLICY MERELY TO OBSTRUCT CLAIMS SEN. WATSON PALLADIIM NEWS BVREAU WASHINGTON. Oct. 7. Senator James E. Watson, of Indiana, who is taking an active part in the revenue bill debate, has charged Democratic senators with conducting guerilla warfare against the measure to delay its passage. . This charge was made in

a clash he had with Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, one of the most brilliant debaters on the Democratic side of the senate. Democratic opposition to the ad ministration's legislative program Is not constructive, merely obstructive, the Indiana senator asserted. Direct ing his fire at Senator Harrison, who had been "sniping." Senator Watson remarked that a tax tiil) would be evolved which to a very great extent would relieve industry in the United States, but that this would be accomplished without the assistance of the senator from Mississippi, "because he intends to oppose the tax bill no matter what we put in it. Exchange Remarks. "I think the senator from Mississippi would oppose any Mil the sena tor from Indiana would write," replied Harrison. Then ensued the following exchange of remarks: i Watson " have not any doubt about that in the world, and he would honor me by so doing." Harrison. "I thank the senator. We are still far apart." Watson. "The senator will oppose the reailroad bill when it comes up." Harrison. "I certainly will." Watson. "And the senator will oppose the foreign debt funding bill when it comes." Harrison. "I certainly will." Watson. "And the senator will oppose the tariff bill when it comes up." Harrison. "I certainly will." The Mississippi senator then remarked that he hoped the Republican majority would present something in the interest of the people that he could help out on. "We 6hall look after the people because the people looked after us to the extent of about 7,000,000 majority," Watson replied. "We are entirely-satisfied with the attitude of the people toward the president and the senate and the house, and we shall be content with what the future may develop." Refers to "Cousin." Senator Watson, of Georgia, the' "storm petrel" of the senate, took a hand in the skirmish between the senator from Indiana, "my handsome cousin", as he referred to him, and the Mississippi senator by charging the majority with "cooking up" one revenue-bill at day sessions, and another one at the night sessions. "What is the use of having two bakeries going on at the same time?" he asked. Senator "Jim" Watson replied that the sole object of all the discussion on the part of the Democratic senators was to delay the legislative program and that he would not participate in it beyond denying that a new bill was being framed to take the place of the revenue measure which had been reported by the finance committee. Wednesday afternoon consideration of the revenue bill was prevented wnen senator sneppara or Texas. Democrat, took up six hours reading the Paris treaty, which had been dis cussed pro and con for many months last year. Senator McCumber, of North Dakota, Republican, a member of the so-called "agricultural bloc", in addressing the senate asserted that the senate would be unable to pass either the revenue or the tariff bills "if we are to discuss partisan politics over and over again." He expressed the opinion that it would not -be possible to put through the tariff before Jan. 1, under any circumstances.

BANKRUPTCY IS AVOIDED DY GERMANY Latest Agreement Also Insures France of Reparations Payments Text of Pact is . Published. - HAS 5 YEARS TO PAY

(By Associated Presi) PARIS, Oct. 7. France is Insured reparations payments and Germany Is given a means to avoid possible bankruptcy through the agreement signed yesterday at Wiesbaden by Louis Lounheur, French minister of Liberated regions, and Dr. Walter Bathenau, German minister of reconstruction. The agreement is regarded here as of much importance and will permit Germany to pay the equivalent of seven billion gold marks in the next five years. First reports indicated the agreement would run but three years but it is found on examination of the pact that it does not expire before May 1, 1926. The text of an annex to the agreement was published here today. It reads: "Germany engages to deliver to France upon her demand all machinery and materials which would be compatible with the possibilities of production in Germany, and subject to her limitations as to supplies of raw materials. - Such deliveries will be in accord with the requirements neces sary for Germany to maintain her social and economic life. This agreement shall date from Oct. 1, 1921. Excludes Certain Products. . "In any case the present contract excludes the products it is specified Germany must turn over to the allies in annexes 3, 5 and 6. part VIII of the treaty of Versailles. The cumulative value of the payment in' kind which Germany will supply France in execution of annexes 3, 5 and 6, as well a.3 deliveries Germany makes to France under the present contract will not exceed seven billion gold marks from Oct, 1, 1921 to May 1, 1926. "It is expressly stipulated that all deliveries shall be devoted to the reconstruction of devastated regions in northern France." Although, the text of the agreement was only partially made public, an unofficial summary gives some of, its important features. A French buyer may negotiate directly with a German producer as to the amount of deliveries and the prices to be paid provided he is able to come to terms with the Germans, but the agreement contemplates that transactions will be arranged between organizations created by the French and German governments. If these respective organizations should be unable to reach an agree ment respecting deliveries, prices. j transportations and acceptance, deci sion as to disputed points will be left to a commission of three. This commission would be made up of one Frenchman one German ani a third person chosen by common accord or appointed by the president of the Swiss confederation. It will fix the price list every three month3 and the list will correspond to normal prices in the interior of France less customs duties and transportation charges. Additional Agreements. The semi-official summary does not deal with the subject of exchange. Four supplementary agreements dealing with the delivery of cattle, machinery, coal, and rolling stock, drafted by exports to cover details and technical points, were , signed this morning by M. Loucheur and Dr. Rathenau. The credits to be made on the books of the reparations commission are subjects, gays the summary, to three limitations, as follows: "1 Only 35 percent of the value of the merchandist (if the deliveries 'reach one billion gold marks), or 43 i percent, if the total amount of presen- . v. k:n:. . i - will be credited; "2 Germany will never be credited with more than one billion gold marks to May 1, 1936; "3 Germany will never be credited with a sum superior to France's share in the yearly reparations." The agreement will be submitted to French parliament early in the coming session.
