11--The revenue bill was formally reported to the House today by the Ways and Means Committee, which had it under consideration since the opening of Congress. The measure will be up for consideration on Thursday with about a month of debate in prospect before it will be passed. The bill, as reported by Chairman Green, provides for complete revision of the Federal taxes and a 25 percent reduction in the 1923 personal income taxes payable this year. Three other reports were made, howa ever, the differences centering on the income rates, with particular reference to the surtax schedule, which reported on the lines recommended by Secretary Mellon. Eleven Republicans submitted one of the additional reports, arguing more vigorously for the 25 percent surtax maximum than did the chairman, who has openly supported higher maximum rate.

Representative Frear of Wisconsin, Republican insurgent, submitted a separate report, arguing for retention of the present surtax maximum of 50 percent and a greater cut in the normal taxes, while Representatives McLaughlin, Michigan, and Timberlake, Colorado, the other Re publicans on the cominittee, abided by the report of the chairman. The 11 Democratic members of the committee signed the other report, which places the surtax maximum at 44 percent and calls for greater cuts in the normal income tax rates, than provided in the Mel. lon schedules. To Save Taxpayers $341,440,000. Chairman Green, in submitting the committee report, which was adopted by a strict party vote.

This will be offset by increases resulting from limitations put upon capital losses and certain deductions limited to tax free income, which it is estimated will bring in $49,500,000 additional revenue annually, of taxable income is reduced from The normal tax 2 on the first $4,000 4 percent to 3 percent and upon the remainder of the taxable income from 8 to 0 percent. The initial surtax rate one percent is made to apply at $10,000 instead of $6,000 and is incri ased gradually to 25 percent in incomes of $100,000 and over.

The Democratic report called for a reduction in the normal taxes to 2 percent on net incomes up to 4 percent on incomes between $5,000 and $8,000, and 6 percent above that amount. The surtax rates proposed by the Democrats would start with 1 percent at $12,000 and increase to 44 percent on incomes of $92,000 and over. These rates, the report said, would result in loses of revenue.

The figures were based on 1921 revenue returns. Citing Secretary Mellon's tion that Representative Garner ranking Democrat of the committee "was playing politics in offering this tax clared revision plan," the report dehis expression was as "an unheard of performance."

The transit committee of the chamber has sent a questionnaire to department and retail stores, asking if they would agree to a change in working hours. It has been suggested, under the plans submitted by the transit commission, that they have the employees begin work 30 minutes later, or 9:15 a.m. instead of 8:45 a.m. and to stop work 30 minutes later in the afternoon, or 6:15 p.m. instead of 5:45 p.m.

Mystery Radio Station In Boro Proves Elusive Brooklyn has a mystery radio broadcasting station. It is and it isn't. The Eagle's radio editor listened to it last night. He says it is. Persons presumed to be more or less officially connected with the "Russellite" cult say it isn't, maybe it was, perhaps it is going to be and on the whole questions had better be directed to Judge Rutherford.

Judge Rutherford is due to return to his office late this afternoon. Judge Rutherford was the speaker last night. His talk had something to do with the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve and when it ended a man whose voice had the same kind of blurr about it that characterized Judge Rutherford's voice announced: "You listening to Judge Rutherford from Station WBTR, 124 Columbia Heights, Brooklyn, broadcasting on a wavelength of two hundred and something or other meters." The radio editor isn't certain about the call letters, he isn't certain about the address and he isn't certain about the wave length. However he's certain that speaker was Judge Rutherford, the station on Columbia Heights and the wavelength somewhere between 230 and 250 meters. If that all of the information desired he is a storehouse of knowledge.

He offered, as a mat- TIFFANY Co. FIFTH AVENUE 37 STREET SILVER TABLEWARE SILVER TEA SETS Wm. H. Anderson, Seaman, Runs Afoul of Wrong Bar William H. Anderson was the name and the charge was intoxication.

The court clerk called it forth unctuously; the benchers in the Fifth Avenue Court pivoted their heads around as one to look: Magistrate Harry Howard Dale raised his eyebrows and murmured, "Impossible!" Policeman David Clyde of the Hamilton ave. siation attested to the fact that one John Barleycorn had felled William H. Anderson at Summit st. and HamIlton where he lay and heard the stormy petrels chatter. Ah.

CUT IN ANNAPOLIS STUDENTS CALLED CALAMITY BY NAVY Officers Hope Patronage Loss Will Sway Congress to Increase Appropriation. Eagle Bureau, 901 Colorado Building. Washington, Feb. 11-Officers of the Naval Academy at Annapolis are today suffering with acute anxiety as the regult of the reduced appropriations carried for that government institution in the new Navy Bill Just reported out to the House. What worries them most is the cut in the number or students.

The bill provides for three appointinents for each Congressman instead of five as heretofore. Annapolis are hoping that the Representatives here will realize the loss of this additional patronage and be influenced to compromise on four apI pointments. "A calamity to the institution and the Navy," was the expression of one Annapolis official today. Rear Adthe ground that he had made his dent miral. of Henry the B.

academy, Wilson, was silent superinten- on statement to the House committee and that anything he might add now would be detrimental to possible compromise. The general argument is that appointment of midshipmen on the basis of five to each Congressman and Senator would mean only salary and rations for an additional 1,000 men. This can be provided easily, it is explained, by the surplus in appropria. tiona. On the basis of three appointments only, Senators and Representatives will find themselves up against a stone wall, it is believed troth worthy academy, boys when come in.

MRS.SARAHGOLDEN'S FALSE TEETH GONE AFTER HER DEATH Son-in-Law Believes She Swallowed Them, but There Will Be No Autopsy. The burial of Mrs. Sarah Golden's body tomorrow will preclude probably forever answering the question as to whether she swallowed her false teeth and brought in the stroke of apoplexy which hastened her end at the Kings Hospital. John Rose, son-in-law Mrs.

Golden, County, takes it for granted that Mrs. Golden did swallow her teeth, because when he found her ill the teeth were gone, Since that time he has been unable to discover them about the house. An official at the hospital today gave the direct cause of death as a stroke and a complication of organic disorders, and said he did not know anything about her teeth nor do any of the doctors. He said Mrs. Golden would have died whether she swallowed her false teeth or not.

He declared her trouble was of a type that would kill anybody. It was said definitely today that no autopsy will be performed on the body because there is nothing susRicious concerning the 1 death. But the question will always remain: "If she did not swallow her teeth Where are they?" Mrs. Golden was 58 years old. She lived at 336 42d SINCLAIR SAILING FOR U.S.

TOMORROW Paris, Feb. 11--Harry F. Sinclair is expected to embark on the steamship President Harding at Southampton for New York at noon tomorrow.

The Old Man--Strategy, my son, is the act of getting up next morning and telling your wife the same thing your friend tells Legion Weekly. Paris, Feb. 11---The French Government's policy, it was said at the Foreign Office today, remains stoutly opposed to the cession of any French territory.

This expression was drawn the publication in the newspaper Excelsior of a paragraph ing that it believed the United States would not reject the idea of cancelling the French debt in exchange for the French West Indies. The Excelsior's item, nevertheless, has revived discussion of the possibility of an arrangement under which the war debt might be wiped out. in exchange for French islands that might be useful to the United States. A number of the members of the French Senate are favorable to this plan, it is declared. Signifeance is also attached here to the newspaper's suggestion because of the fact that its owner, Paul Dupuy, recently returned from a visit to the United States in the course of which he saw a great many leading publte men.

It is remarked, likewise, that M. Dupuy would probably not have been inclined to launch the idea had he not known there was considerable support for it here. The project, however, in addition to being contrary to the policy of the present French Government, a fact now reiterated, meets with objections from sentimental considerations. Martinique, for instance, is regarded as quite as much a part of France as Paris. It is represented in Parliament on the same footing and its inhabitants enjoy all the advantages of French citizenship.

Thus, it is held in official circles, this sentimental opposition to such a deal would have to be overcome before France cont4 think seriously of 14, though it is conceded that there 19 support for 111 important quarters, including an influential Senatorial group.
