Day Agrees to Take State Dry Post Garment Maker Asserts He Has Accepted Offer From Haynes: J.S.ParsonsToBe Chief Enforcement Agent Ralph A. Day, a clothing manufac¬ turer and member of the National Re¬ publican Club, admitted yesterday that he had been offered the New York State prohibition directorship by Commis¬ sioner Roy A. Haynes. in Washington, and that he would accept. No con¬ firmation of the appointment has been received from Washington. Mr. Day said yesterday that he ex¬ pected to assume the duties of his new office in a few days, but would retain Acting Director E. C. Yellowley for a short time in an advisory capacity. He refused to be quoted, but expressed himself as being in favor of the strict enforcement of all laws. However, it is understood that he will not permit his office to hamper legitimate manu- fcturera and wholesalers in anv way. Mr. Day spoke highly of E. C. Yel- lowley, sent here from Washington with a special squad to "straighten out the affairs of the New York en¬ forcement bureau." Governor Miller's Choice Mr. Day. who officially succeeds H. L. Hart, of Binghamton, recently re¬ signed, was a member of the State In¬ dustrial Council under Governor Whit¬ man. He saw war service in this office. He said it was the only public office he had ever held. He was the choice of Governor Miller, Commissioner Haynes and George A. Glynn. John S. Parsons, of Oswego, who has been serving as an auditor in the Comptroller's office at Albany, will be chief enforcement agent under Mr. Day. The possible appointment of Mr. Parsons was generally predicted for weeks, but the appointment of Mr. Day was unexpected. The lowest average of indictments in Mullan-Gage law cases ever reported In New York County was recorded yester¬ day when two grand juries, sitting in the Criminal Courts Building, returned one true bill out of 300 cases presented. The unlucky defendant is Charles Or- daunt, of 428 West Twentieth Street, who conducted a restaurant at 124 Ninth Avenue. He was indicted on a charge of selling a drink of whisky for $1 on May 8 last. His bond of $500 was continued. Moonshine Raid in Hills An alleged moonshine raid in a mountain lumber camp near Walloom- soc, N. Y., by agents of the staff of Act¬ ing State Director E. C. Yellowley yes¬ terday, had all the thrilling features of a story book raid in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Eight different kinds of wines and whiskies are said to have been manufactured at the still hidden away in the hills back of the lumber camp. About as many kinds of trouble were experienced by the pro¬ hibition agents who staged the raid, it was reported. They finally had to bind one prisoner with a rope before he consented to be arreBted. Information concerning the still was written to headquarters, and Agents Moe Smith and Izzy Einstein, masquer¬ ading as cigar salesmen, penetrated the hills to the lumber camp. They brought back two prisoners and reported the destruction of the still and the seizure of 850 gallons of mash and 2,000 gal¬ lons of distilled liquors. The prisoners are Eugene Sargood, proprietor of the Chicken Coop Inn, where the raid was made, and Thomas Harlan, an employee of the inn. , -»- Assails Britain's Policy In India Before Lords - Sydenham Ignores Government Request to Forego Attack on Eve of Prince's Departure LONDON, Oct. 25 (By The Associated Press).---Despite government efforts to prevent Parliamentary discussion of In dian affairs on the eve of the departure of the Prince of Wales for India, that subject was taken up in the House of Lords to-day, where Baron Sydenham charged the government with exercis. ing a weak policy by which British au¬ thority had suffered throughout India. He asserted that it was widely be¬ lieved by the masses of Indian people that British rule either had ended or shortly would end. He argued that the government must have been aware of the recent Moplah uprising, which he declared was we'll organized under the eyes of the government. Lord Curzon, the Foreign Secretary, who strenuously objected to the de¬ bate, said that he had written pre¬ viously to Baron Sydenham and also to Baron Ampthill urging them to state their reasons for declining to refrain from debate of the subject at the pres¬ ent time. Neither of them, however, was prepared to give way, he said. He declared it was a most unusual thing when a request of this kind was made by the leader of the House for it to be ignored. Such debate was capable of exercising a very deleterious effect on the eve of the departure of the Prince of Wales, he declared. Importer Dies With Unknown Woman in Fire Two Found Suffocated in Top-Floor Apartment of W. 58th St. House After 2-Alarm Blaze Is Checked T. Duel!, forty years old, an importer, and an unidentified woman met death by suffocation last night when a two- alarm fire gutted a four-story com¬ bination business and dwelling house at 131 West Fifty-eighth Street. Mrs. Levenson, lessee of the house, the only other person in the building at the time of the blaze, left her apartment without injury. John Mullen, a chauffeur, living at 126 West Ninety-first Street, was pass¬ ing through West Fifty-eighth Street shortly before 11 o'clock last night, when he noticed smoke billowing from a window on the fourth door of No. 181. He rushed up to the hous«i and; finding the door open, entered. He had gone half way up the Ftair<» lead- ing to the first landing, when he was driven back by smoke. Mullen told the police that he was sure that he heard some one in an upper floor cry- ing for help. Ladder Men Search in Vain Mullen left the house and rushed to a fire alarm box and turned in the first alarm. This brought apparatus under Deputy Fire Chief Ross. Extension ladders were run to the fourth floor windows by a hook and ladder company and search was made of the upper floors of the house for tenants reported to have been trapped in their rooms by the blaze. No one was found. A second alarm was turned in by Ross when it appeared likely that the flames might spread to adjoining build- ings. The additional apparatus which arrived was successful in controlling! the blaze and in a short time the fire was reported out, While firemen were mopping up they came to the Duell apartment, which is on the top floor of the building. The door was unlocked and when the firemen entered they found Duell's body and that of a woman in a heap on the floor. An ambulance surgeon pro- nounced the two dead. Can't Identify Woman Mrs. Levenson, who, besides being the lessee of the building, is a part owner of the firm of Wahl & Co., interior; decorators, which has offices on the first two floors of the building, told the police that Duell had rented the two- room apartment on the fourth floor for four years. She said that he had just renewed his lease for another year. Mrs. Levenson was unable to give the authorities any information which would lead to tho identification of the woman, said ta be about thirty years old, who was found dead beside the Im¬ porter. Brooklyn Caravan Finds Farms Have No Water Auto Vovagers Are Reported to Have Sent SOS Call From Idaho Special Dispatch to The Tribune CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Oct. 25..The thirty-five Brooklyn families which migrated to Idaho by automobile cara¬ van this summer are in need of aid, j according to letter» received here to-day, and also according to Boise, Idaho, papers, which report that their condition is such that a committee of bankers, merchants and lawyers visited the colony to investigate at firBt hand. It is understood these men will take steps to help the colonists, who are pictured as complaining that the land on which they settled is not in con¬ dition for farming and that it is so far removed from a railroad there would be little chance of marketing crops even if they could be raised without water, which is declared to be lacking. » $20,000 More Given to Broad Street Hospital More than $20,000 was added yester¬ day to the $850,000 already subscribed for the Broad Street Hospital. The Downtown Hospital Association an- nounced that this leaves $630,000 still to be raised to reach the $l,000,000-mark aimed at this week. An anonymous con- tribution of $10,000 was received yester- day through the professional division of the campaigners. William Hamlin Childs, treasurer of the drive, was the speaker at a luncheon [at campsiign headquarters, 63 Broadway. He emphasized the point that all work- ers should report every day, whether the amounts obtained are small or large. A committee of women, headed by Mrs. Adrian Iselin and Dr. Mary Craw- ford, is working through booths in the downtown business buildings and restau- rants. Many business girls have volun- teered their sendees as solicitors in the drive. Pond Murder Arrest Likely In 24 Hours Attempt to Trace Slayer of Girl Through Oilcloth Wrapped Around Portion of Body Proves Futile Laundry Marks Give Clew Tentative Identification Is Made hy Jersey Woman; Detectives Are Skeptical The continuation of the police in¬ vestigation yesterday into the murder of the woman whose torso was found on Saturday in a rainwater pool on a Long Island City lot, wan devoted largely to an attempt to trace tho slayer through the oilcloth in which the portion of the woman's body was wrapped. Though all attempts to identify the murdered girl have failed, Detective Captain Von Diezelskie, in charge of the detectives in Queens, an¬ nounced that he expected to make an arrest! in connection with the case within twenty-four hours. Inquiries were made by the author¬ ities at several linoleum plants. At the American Linoleum Company's plant at Linoleumville, S. I., it was said that the oilcloth i;i which the body was wrapped was not a product of that concern. When informed of the design of the oilcloth, which was blue and white in color, with two-inch squares containing a small cross, re¬ sembling a checkerboard, U. P. Pear¬ son, superintendent of the factor}, de¬ clared that his plant does not manu¬ facture oilcloth stamped with that de¬ sign. Inquiries at other factories gave the same result. Believed Hoboken Cirl A tentative identification of the slain girl was made by Mrs. Elizabeth Rich¬ ard, of 285 Summit Avenue, Jersey City. Mrs. Richard told detectives she was sure the young woman waa Bertha Baker, or Becker, she was not certain of the spelling, who liver with her at her present address in 1919. After leaving her house Mr*. Richard said the girl had lived in Bloomfield Avenue, Hoboken. The detectives, however, are not sat¬ isfied with the proof which Mrs. Rich¬ ard has given. Hope was expressed that identifica¬ tion might be brought about through laundry marks on an undershirt which was found with the body. Under a mi¬ croscope the faded mark appeared to be "PXP-113." The letters are said to stand for tho house, mark of a laun¬ dry at 460 Pierce Avenue, Long Island City. The "113" would be the cus¬ tomer's number, but as the laundry has recently changed hands und the records of the former proprietor have been de¬ stroyed, little headway was made in this direction. Hair Is Light Brown The hair of the murdered woman now is reported to be a light, brown and not red, as at first given out. Cap¬ tain John Ayres, In charge of the missing persons bureau, who has a strand of the hair, said: "The report¬ ing of the hair as red by the first phy¬ sician to examine the body has handi¬ capped our work. Many blond-haired girls are missing, hut their relatives, believing this woman's hair to have been red, have made no inquiries Therefore we ask parents of any miss¬ ing woman with blond hair to com¬ municate with us in contidence at once." The finding of a woman's nightgown, slashed and bearing brown stains, a butcher knife with a nine-inch blade and a woman's much battered green plush hat early yesterday morning near Linoleumville, S. T., on the Rich¬ mond' Turnpike, were at first believed to be clews in the present case. But chemical analysis showed that the rtains were caused by rust and not blood, as first reported, and after thorough investigation the authorities announced that the hat and knife ap- Il-.

The great masses in and out rf Parliament in England and Ireland want a settlement, and Lloyd George considers that he holds their mandate. Birkenhead Urges Patience "The conference continues, and it will not be abandoned unless and until it is realized that it is impossible for either side to continue," declared Lord Chancellor Birkenhead, who is regard¬ ed in some quarters as a possible rival of Lloyd George for the Premiership, in his speech at the Unionist Associa¬ tion meeting in London to-night. The address took the form of a de¬ fense of the attitude adopted by a majority of the Unionist party toward the Irish negotiations, and the speaker insisted that it was necessary to make one more effort to solve the Irish ques¬ tion, which, he said, had partly para¬ lyzed Britain at home and affected and hurt her influence abroad. "No one sitting in the conference, which has proceeded many days, is al¬ together unaware of the force of pub- lie opinion," said the Chancellor.

The Sen¬ ate vote<l to-night, 39 to 28, against re¬ taining the excess profits tax after! next July 1 at the present rates. The proposal was offered by Senator Reed. Democrat, of Missouri, who immedi¬ ately afterward proposed retention of the profits tax at about half the pres¬ ent rates. Four Republicans- Borah, Kenyon, La Follette and Norbeck.joined the solid Democratic minority in support- ing the first Reed amendment. Senator Reed's second amendment was under debate when the Senate ad- journed at 8 p. m. to-night. A final vote on the repeal of the profits tax will be had at 4 p. m. to-morrow under unanimous agreement. Also, without a record vote, the Sen¬ ate adopted an amendment by Senator Trammell, Democrat, of Florida, pro- vulingv that in case a taxpayer bor¬ rows money to purchase or carry Fed¬ eral securities he may deduct in com¬ puting his net income only the differ¬ ence between the amount of the in¬ terest paid on the indebtedness and the amount received in interest from the securities. In his attack on the proposal to re- peal the excess profits tax Senator Reed declared this proposition was "the most monstrous ever put before the American Senate." Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, of Ne¬ braska, told the Senate that the excess profits tax had the Käme justification as the graduated income tax. He added that he could not see why cor¬ porations making profits above 8 per cent upon the capital invested could not pay a graduated tax just as indi¬ viduals did. The Senate swung to-night into the first of the long-threatened night ses- sion.H on the tax revision bill. Plann of Republican leaders as to procedure after to-night were some¬ what in doubt, but the majority con¬ tinued to hoi«i over the heads of op¬ ponents of the bill the threat of a continuous* session beginning to-mor¬ row. Immediately afr.er tile Senate con¬ vened and before half the Senators had settled in their seats the com¬ mittee amendment fixing the normal income tax at the present 4 and 8 per cent rates was adopted. Later the com- initte*» amendment increasing from $2.1)00 to (2,500 tiie normal exemption allowed heads of families having net incomes of $5.000 or less was adopted without a roll call. Senator Trammell gave notice 'hafc he would later offer an amendment ro- this section proposing even greater in¬ creases in exemptions to men of incomes and the elimination of the ex¬ emption in the cases of single men having incomes of $8.000 or mot" a year and heads of families having $15,- 000 or more.

Yellowley yes¬terday, had all the thrilling featuresof a story book raid in the Blue RidgeMountains of Virginia. Eight differentkinds of wines and whiskies are said tohave been manufactured at the stillhidden away in the hills back of thelumber camp. About as many kinds oftrouble were experienced by the pro¬hibition agents who staged the raid, itwas reported. They finally had to bindone prisoner with a rope before heconsented to be arreBted.

Information concerning the still was

written to headquarters, and AgentsMoe Smith and Izzy Einstein, masquer¬ading as cigar salesmen, penetrated thehills to the lumber camp. They broughtback two prisoners and reported thedestruction of the still and the seizureof 850 gallons of mash and 2,000 gal¬lons of distilled liquors.The prisoners are Eugene Sargood,

proprietor of the Chicken Coop Inn,where the raid was made, and ThomasHarlan, an employee of the inn., -»-

Assails Britain's PolicyIn India Before Lords-

Sydenham Ignores GovernmentRequest to Forego Attackon Eve of Prince's DepartureLONDON, Oct. 25 (By The Associated

Press).---Despite government efforts toprevent Parliamentary discussion of Indian affairs on the eve of the departureof the Prince of Wales for India, thatsubject was taken up in the House ofLords to-day, where Baron Sydenhamcharged the government with exercis.ing a weak policy by which British au¬

thority had suffered throughout India.He asserted that it was widely be¬

lieved by the masses of Indian peoplethat British rule either had ended or

shortly would end. He argued thatthe government must have been awareof the recent Moplah uprising, whichhe declared was we'll organized underthe eyes of the government.Lord Curzon, the Foreign Secretary,

who strenuously objected to the de¬bate, said that he had written pre¬viously to Baron Sydenham and alsoto Baron Ampthill urging them to statetheir reasons for declining to refrainfrom debate of the subject at the pres¬ent time. Neither of them, however,was prepared to give way, he said. Hedeclared it was a most unusual thingwhen a request of this kind was madeby the leader of the House for it to beignored. Such debate was capable ofexercising a very deleterious effect on

the eve of the departure of the Princeof Wales, he declared.

Pond MurderArrest LikelyIn 24 Hours

Attempt to Trace Slayer ofGirl Through OilclothWrapped Around Portionof Body Proves Futile

Laundry Marks Give Clew

Tentative Identification IsMade hy Jersey Woman;Detectives Are Skeptical

The continuation of the police in¬vestigation yesterday into the murderof the woman whose torso was foundon Saturday in a rainwater pool on a

Long Island City lot, wan devotedlargely to an attempt to trace thoslayer through the oilcloth in whichthe portion of the woman's body was

wrapped. Though all attempts toidentify the murdered girl have failed,Detective Captain Von Diezelskie, incharge of the detectives in Queens, an¬

nounced that he expected to make an

arrest! in connection with the case

within twenty-four hours.Inquiries were made by the author¬

ities at several linoleum plants. Atthe American Linoleum Company'splant at Linoleumville, S. I., it wassaid that the oilcloth i;i which thebody was wrapped was not a productof that concern. When informed ofthe design of the oilcloth, which was

blue and white in color, with two-inchsquares containing a small cross, re¬

sembling a checkerboard, U. P. Pear¬son, superintendent of the factor}, de¬clared that his plant does not manu¬facture oilcloth stamped with that de¬sign. Inquiries at other factories gavethe same result.

Believed Hoboken CirlA tentative identification of the slain

girl was made by Mrs. Elizabeth Rich¬ard, of 285 Summit Avenue, Jersey City.Mrs. Richard told detectives she wassure the young woman waa BerthaBaker, or Becker, she was not certainof the spelling, who liver with her at herpresent address in 1919. After leavingher house Mr*. Richard said the girl hadlived in Bloomfield Avenue, Hoboken.The detectives, however, are not sat¬isfied with the proof which Mrs. Rich¬ard has given.Hope was expressed that identifica¬

tion might be brought about throughlaundry marks on an undershirt whichwas found with the body. Under a mi¬croscope the faded mark appeared tobe "PXP-113." The letters are saidto stand for tho house, mark of a laun¬dry at 460 Pierce Avenue, Long IslandCity. The "113" would be the cus¬tomer's number, but as the laundry hasrecently changed hands und the recordsof the former proprietor have been de¬stroyed, little headway was made inthis direction.

Hair Is Light BrownThe hair of the murdered woman

now is reported to be a light, brownand not red, as at first given out. Cap¬tain John Ayres, In charge of themissing persons bureau, who has astrand of the hair, said: "The report¬ing of the hair as red by the first phy¬sician to examine the body has handi¬capped our work. Many blond-hairedgirls are missing, hut their relatives,believing this woman's hair to havebeen red, have made no inquiriesTherefore we ask parents of any miss¬ing woman with blond hair to com¬municate with us in contidence atonce."The finding of a woman's nightgown,

slashed and bearing brown stains, abutcher knife with a nine-inch bladeand a woman's much battered greenplush hat early yesterday morningnear Linoleumville, S. T., on the Rich¬mond' Turnpike, were at first believedto be clews in the present case.

Senate VotesFor ReductionIn Profits Tax

Reed Amendment AgainstRetaining Present RatesAfter July I Adopted, 39to 27, in Night Session

Favor Higher ExemptionProposal Increasing Sum

to $2,500 for Heads ofFamilies Given Approval

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. The Sen¬ate vote<l to-night, 39 to 28, against re¬taining the excess profits tax after!next July 1 at the present rates. Theproposal was offered by Senator Reed.Democrat, of Missouri, who immedi¬ately afterward proposed retention ofthe profits tax at about half the pres¬ent rates.Four Republicans- Borah, Kenyon,

La Follette and Norbeck.joined thesolid Democratic minority in support-ing the first Reed amendment.Senator Reed's second amendment

was under debate when the Senate ad-journed at 8 p. m. to-night. A finalvote on the repeal of the profits taxwill be had at 4 p. m. to-morrow underunanimous agreement.Also, without a record vote, the Sen¬

ate adopted an amendment by SenatorTrammell, Democrat, of Florida, pro-vulingv that in case a taxpayer bor¬rows money to purchase or carry Fed¬eral securities he may deduct in com¬puting his net income only the differ¬ence between the amount of the in¬terest paid on the indebtedness andthe amount received in interest fromthe securities.

In his attack on the proposal to re-

peal the excess profits tax SenatorReed declared this proposition was"the most monstrous ever put beforethe American Senate."Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, of Ne¬

braska, told the Senate that the excessprofits tax had the Käme justificationas the graduated income tax. Headded that he could not see why cor¬

porations making profits above 8 percent upon the capital invested couldnot pay a graduated tax just as indi¬viduals did.The Senate swung to-night into the

first of the long-threatened night ses-sion.H on the tax revision bill.

Plann of Republican leaders as toprocedure after to-night were some¬what in doubt, but the majority con¬tinued to hoi«i over the heads of op¬ponents of the bill the threat of acontinuous* session beginning to-mor¬row.

Immediately afr.er tile Senate con¬vened and before half the Senatorshad settled in their seats the com¬mittee amendment fixing the normalincome tax at the present 4 and 8 percent rates was adopted. Later the com-initte*» amendment increasing from$2.1)00 to (2,500 tiie normal exemptionallowed heads of families having netincomes of $5.000 or less was adoptedwithout a roll call.

Senator Trammell gave notice 'hafche would later offer an amendment ro-this section proposing even greater in¬creases in exemptions to men ofincomes and the elimination of the ex¬emption in the cases of single menhaving incomes of $8.000 or mot" a

year and heads of families having $15,-000 or more.
