I BASIS OF REVISION

Senate Committee Begins Al
teration of House Bill to
TVIeet Needs
PENROSE CALLS FOR ACTION
, By tlio Associated Press
Washington, Sept. 10. Revision of
the IIoubo Tax Bill on n basis of Gov
ernment needs of $3,200,000,000 from
Internal revenue this fiscal year, lias
begun today by tlic Senate Finance
Committee. The measure was taken
up section by section, the committee
having failed yesterday to agree on the
high points.
Developments yesterday led to n
general belief ut the Capitol that the
committee would not have entirely
smooth sailing, but Chairman Penrose
still is hopeful that tho measure enn
bo completed by the time Congress re
convenes, one week from next Wednes
day. It is his desire to cut down dis
cussion and get to action.
As wna the case In the Hoti'e, the
principal points of disagreement are
retroactive repeal of the excess profits
tax and a reduction of tho Income sur
taxes. Although still holding that ma
jority, sentiment is drifting toward
retroactive removal of the profits tax,
Republican leaders arc not so optimistic
on this point bb they were a day or
two ago.
Democrats in tho committee will
present n solid front ngninst these two
proposals, according to Senator Sim
mons, of North Carolina, ranking
minority member, nud they are count
ing on support from some Republicans.
If they lose their fight In, the com
mittee they will carry it to the Senate
floor.
Resides passing the six changes in
the Housa bill proposed by Secretary
Mellon, the Senate committee expects
to have before it a number of other
tax policies, including the sales tax plan
of Senator Smoot, of Utah, and the
suggested tax by Senator Colder, of
New York, on 2.7i per cent beer nnd
alcoholic liquors diverted to beverage
purposes.

Phil Wright, commissioner of fire and
police, after a tour of the Hooded dis
tricts today, stated lie believed the loss
of life to be "vry high."
Police and firemen attempted to
warn residents, In the Mexican section
of the city and succeeded in getting
hundreds of them to safety. Many
others were cut off before they could
get out and the police estimated the
loss of life in this district would be
large.
Before wnters began to recede today
an area estimated at two miles wide
and six miles lon including tho larger
part of the business district of San An
tonio, bad been swept in the worst flood

zanine floor, fifteen feet high. The St.
Anthony Hotel, on Travis street, also
suffered, ns well as several smaller
hotels in the downtown district.
The Alamo, "the Cradle of Texas
.Liberty," escaped damage by waters,
due to Its elevation.
Danger Relieved Over
The weather Is still cloudy und fur
ther rain Is In prospect. Unless there
should be unusual precipitation It is
not believed there Is further danger.
Unconfirmed reports of loss of life in
the valley of the Snn Antonio River
sou tli of this city arc coming in.
An unprecedented rainfall which be
on nt midnight Wednesday nnd con
tinued throughout Thursday and Fri
day night caused the flood. At least
eight inches of rain foil durins this
period. Early last night there was n
Heavy rainfall in the valley of the
Olmos Creek north of the city.
All Traffic Stopped
Water from the creek rushed Into the
Ban Antonio River and joined the sur
face water which was pouring into the
river from tho heavy rain throughout
the day In the city proper. The river
wont out of its banks within a few
hours, nnd broke across llicckinridgc
Park into River avenue. The water
and electric light plants are located
nlong the bank of the river, and thev
were put out of business quickly.
Street car traffic was stopped nnd
hundreds of pioplu were unable to reach

While thousands of women were

forces ore driving to reach a total of
half a million qualified voters. Approx
imateh 200,000 have been registered so

the independent ticket."
Women Aro Active
Under the leadership of Mrs. Altemus,
flying squadrons of women are engaged
in rounding up the women nnd getting
them out to register. Automobiles and
telephone calls are being .used.
Barely has there been such activity on
the last registration day. In every di
vision in every ward workers went
from door to door, ringing tho bell, and
"selling" the idea of registration. Then
when the women got to the-registration
booths they bought poll tax receipts if
they had not paid a tnx within the last
two years.
In many wnrds. trucks gaily dec-
nrnteil. cnirlnir n lilnr.lne nnneill to

Mrs. Wnnamaker commented on whnt
she called the "unfnlr tnctlcs" of tho
Vnre workers, in retcrring to ttio lte
publican women ns "those foolish rich
women." , ,
Women leaders said that Mrs. John

Mrs. Wanamaker declared that she

"Colombia nnd, I believe, all tho
other South American countries want

said Senor Reistrcpo. "His election Is

Discussion of work done by the Coun
cil of the League last year was resumed
by tho Assembly today. There was
evident a dcslro on the part ' of the
delegates present to finish the debate
before Monday so the way might be
cleared for the election of judges Wed
nesday. Six delegates, including 'A. ,T. Bal
four, of Great Britain ; Viscount Ishli,
of Japan, and V. K. Wellington Koo,

Speech by Austrian Delegate
Former enemy states made' their first
appearance in the debates of the nrcs
cnt assembly when Count Albert Mens
eiorii-i'ouiiiy-uietriciistcin, tlio Aus
trian delegate, took the floor this morn
ing to spenk on the work of the Coun
cil of the Lcogue.
Count Mensdorf plcfurcd the eco
nomic nnd financial situation of Aus
tria and reviewed the work done by the
Council toward restoration of the coun
try. He urged thnt measures elecided
upon be nppiled nt the earliest possible
moment so that Austrin might be able
to work out her own snlvntion.
M. Spnlnlkovltch, the Jugo-Slav
delegnte, made a bitter attack upon Al
bnnln nud criticized the nction of the
Assembly Inst yenr in admitting Al
bania to the League.
"Albanln is not a Stntc," he de
clared. "It never hnd frontiers nnd
can no more be considered a country
now than It could last year.".
The chairman of tho Assembly en
eleavored, by invoking the time limit, to
put nn end to this speech, which made
a paiuful impression on tlie Assembly.
Relinked By Balfour
Arthur J. Balfour, the British repre
sentative, relieved the tension resulting
from Spalalkovltch's speech by correct
ine what he said were mlstnken deduc
tions. Albania, he said, had n perfect
right to appeal from the Council of
tlio League to the Assembly for a set
tlement of tho entire dispute between
Albania. Greece aud Juco-slavla. and
that the question would coinc up in its
regular order,
Mr. Balfour replied to tho critirlsms
ot tlie uotincil, recently voiced by lijnl
mar Branting, of Sweden, and Henri
La Fontaine, of Belgium.
"It Is most unfortunate," he said,
"that any member of the League should,
as did Air. Branting. accuse the Coun
cil of unworthy motives nnd the League
of pnrtlnlity ; but when It comes from
Mr. Branting It causes parUcular pain.
I regret immensely the absence of Im
portant countries from our Council.
How can the countries in the League
ndopt a scheme of disarmament when
they cannot know whether it will be
followed by those outside tho League?"
Mr. Balfour dwelt especially upon
the impossibility of Lenguo control of
private making aud trading In arms
when some of the most Important nrms
mnking countries were outside the
League. .
Disarmament and Mandates
He said he regretted the Inck ff re
sults with regard to disarmament, hut
reminded tho delegates that they wero
not living In u world wlicre peace una
order reigned to such nn ixtent ns to
permit of n prompt solution.
"When we are no longer In the midst
of wars nnd rumors of wnrs," Mr.
Balfour declared, "It will 'then be 11
simple mntter." ' '
Rcgardlne the mandates nuestlnn. Mr.
Balfour said It was not so simple us
Lord Bohert Cecil, the South Africnn
delegnte. appenred to think to arrange I I'rlilny evening f.om 8 to 0 o'clock, it
the basis on which such n lnrgo pnrtjas ii.inouticed today. The elcvotion of
of the jjlobc wns to be governed for Jhe "holy hour" lsncrenslng in popu-

Mystery Still Veils Death of F.
J. Fitzpatrick After

MAY ARREST CUSTOMS MEN
By tho Associated Press

enue Department for New York, fol
lowing n spectacular drug arid whisky
raid yesterday on the Greek steamship
King Alexander, wbb begun todny by
Colonel O. G. Forrer, executive assist
ant to the chief of thifnarcotic division.
Fitzpatrick, one of the lenders of tlie
rnid, shot himself twice through the
heart shortly nfter the raiders had
fought a battle with tho crow in -which
five men wero wounded, and hnd seized
drugs nnd whisky valued variously at
from $200000 to $1,000,000.
His nssocintes could explain the sui
cide only -by saying that Fitzpatrick
had been in ill health for some time,
and that he might have become tem
pararlly deranged by excitement induced
by tho thrilling encounter with members
of tho King Alexander's crew.
Scbas Mcntins, fourth officer of the
ship, said to be the treasurer of the
drug smugglers, who disappeared dur
ing the fight, surrendered todny.
Twenty-six members ot the crew
were being held by Federal authorities
todny in connection with the smuggling
plot. The entire ctew of moro.tiinn 300
were arrested, but all save tlie twenty
six werj rclened nfter examination.
Wallace K. J. Collins. United States
Attorney for Brooklyn, promised neldi
tlonnl arrests- today, 'indicating that
some members of the United States
customs3ervIce might be held. Infor
mntion thnt some customs employes
were- tilled with the smugglers hnd
1 cached the revenue men, he said, aud
caused them to stage the raid secretly
for fear the smugglers would bo "tipped
off." The secret was kept so well that
a police launch which observel the
raiders took them to be smuggler
themselves and according to the rev
enue men opened lire on them before
they could establish their identity.
