Mills and Charles G. Dawes, President of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, informed the Senate of the revised estimates.

Reed's declaration was given to the Senate just as a petition was laid down pledging 55 members a substantial majority in opposition to the sales tax. Senator Pat Harrison, Mississippi, the Democratic tax leader, in presenting the petition, told the Senate sales tax advocates that a "fight is futile." Harrison then moved to make up the $50,000,000 needed in the pending revenue measure to meet the budget estimates originally presented bv Secretary Mills by restoration of higher income rates. activities for several years Rupp made his first flight in more than a year Sunday. In November, 1929, Rupp made one of the most remarkable glider flights in the history of gliding in Cincinnati when he attained an altitude of 500 feet and remained aloft for one hour and a half, during which time he performed a number of difficult maneuvers. The flight was made at the Mount Healthy Airport.

Rupp was an official and one of the organizers of, the Cincinnati Glider Club. A native of Bildensbach, Germany, Rupp was a member of the Fifty-fourth Reserve Artillery of the German Army during the World War. He was gassed in Flanders In the fall of 1917 and later was awarded the Silver Service Medal for valor by the King of Wuerttenberg and decorated with the Iron Cross by the Kaiser himself. Following the war, Rupp came to Cincinnati. He had been employed Continued On Page 2, Column 2.

Carl Rupp, 37 years old, 3298 Montana Avenue, Westwood, printer employed by The Enquirer and one of the pioneers of glider flying in Cincinnati, was killed late yesterday when a glider he was flying nose-dived and crashed at the old Dixie Davis Flying Field near Beechmont Avenue, in the East End. Witnesses said Rupp was flying at an altitude of approximately 150 feet when the craft went into the dive. He was thrown clear of the wreckage. The glider crashed approximately 1,000 feet south of Beechmont Avenue after Rupp had made a circle at a much higher altitude and was flying back to the field for a landing. Rupp was removed to General Hospital in a private automobile.

He was dead on arrival. Coroner M. Scott Kearns said he suffered a broken neck and compound fractures of both legs. His wife, who witnessed the accident, accompanied him to the hospital.

Hour Has Come, Nazis Of Hitler Announce, But Berlin Predicts Delay In Assigning Of German Leadership To Fascist Chieftain. Personal Differences Denied By President Three Men Are Tipped To Become Chancellor. Berlin, May 30 (AP) Dr. Hein- rich Bruening and his Cabinet stepped aside today, and the Nazis of Adolf Hitler hailed the resignation with the triumphant slogan: "Our hour has come!" But, when President Von Hindenburg accepted the resignation of the two-year-old Cabinet, there was no indication the Fascist Hitler step directly into power. As conferences progressed throughout the day the impression increased that the Nazis would not cash on their recent state victories immediately, but that, perhaps, the next Chancellor would be a man whom they could tolerate.

TALKS WITH PRESIDENT. Then, after the Lausanne Conference, June 16, there was talk that the Nazis might assume power but authorities agreed this was "another question." At any rate, the little Nazi chieftain was ushered into the President early tonight to confer on the complexion of a Cabinet, after hurriedly breaking off his election campaign tour in Mecklenburg. The outcome of the conference was not'revealed. Previously the aged executive had summoned Paul Loebe, Chairman of the Reichstag and a power in its biggest party, the Socialist or Social Democratic group. The Socialist and Nazi leaders, comprising the two biggest parties in the present Reichstag, were understood to have given their suggestions to the President.

TO HEAR OTHERS. Tomorrow the Centrists (Catholics), German Nationalists and the People's Party will be heard, as well as the remaining small parties. Thus it was indicated that for at least another day President Von Hindenburg would remain both Captain and pilot of Germany's ship of state. There were many reasons assigned to the resignation of Dr. Continued On Page 2, Column 6.

Big Eppa Master Of Bucs In First, 4-2, And Also Smashes Out Three Dandy Blows. Niglitcap Is Decided In Opening Stanza, While Bill Swift Goes In Masterly Style. Babe Herman Wallops Pair Of Triples In Opening Battle Our Lads Re- tain Third Position. By Jack Ryder. FECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRES.

Forbes Field, Pittsburgh, May 30 The Reds acquired one of those indeterminate sentences to day, breaking even with the oncoming Pirates their two holiday scraps at Forbes Field. Eppa Rixey outpltched Bill Harris In the morning session and our boys won, 4 to 2, but Bill Swift, star right-hander from Kansas City, turned the tables after luncheon, holding the Reds to five hits, while Larry Benton got away to a bad start In the opening round and was beaten, 6 to 2. So the Pirates made one more run on the day than the Reds, but tha result of the contests was all even at fifty-fifty. EPPA IN GOOD FORM. The morning game might have been won by our boys by a much larger score, for they failed to get anything like value received for their heavy hitting and the wlld-ness of Harris.

But Rlxey was in such good form that it made no difference when they threw away numerous chances to run to big figures, and the main thing was to win the game, which their succeeded in doing. In the afternon they never had a chance after the first inning. That is, the two chances which they did have were cut off short and rendered quite harmless by the well-controlled and effective pitching of Swift, who was on the top side all the way. BIG BOYS ARE HELPLESS. The Reds made all of their five blows count, but they couldn't get any more.

Their heavy artillery was almost completely silenced, with Babe Herman getting in one good shot in the first inning and then subsiding, while Hafey and Lombard! were never in the picture. The teams were favored by bright, clear weather and two large crowds turned out to see the battle for third place and urge the Pirates to oust our boys from the position which they have adorned for the past three weeks, but the even break left the teams just where they were this morning, with the club treasuries well replenished. THE MORNING GAME Though failing to get as many runs as they should easily have scored on their hard hitting and the unsteadiness of Bill Harris and Heine Melne, the latter making his first appearance in a championship game this year, the Reds won the pre-luncheon contest by a score of 4 to 2, behind the excellent pitching of the veteran Eppa Rlxey, who has a knack of going well at Forbes Field. In addition to holding the Pirates firmly back in every inning except the third, Big Eppa furnished the hitting sensation of the day by driving out three clean singles hilt first three times up. Eppa and Babe Herman, whose resounding triples off Harris were responsible for all the Red scoring, so the big side-wheeler imbibed a double shot of glory for his all-round performance.

The Reds gave Rixey encouraging support, with George Grantham as the biggest noise on the defense. George worked against Continued On Page 11, Column 8. Washington, May 80 (US) Pres ident Hoover tonight appealed to Senate Democrats at a White House conference to support the general manufacturers' sales tax as the best means to raise additional revenues to balance the budget. Based on revised estimates by the Treasury Department, the President frankly declared that an extra $200,000,000 in addition to the tax bill and anticipated Federal economies would be required. Owen D.

Young sat in at the conference, which lasted more than two hours. Although $200,000,000 was set as the minimum additional revenue needed, it was indicated the deficit might run as high as $400,000,000, even with the $963,500,000 already voted by the Senate in the new tax bill. Washington, May 30 (AP) Pres ident Hoover summoned Senate Democratic Finance and Economy Committee members to the White House tonight to disclose new estimates eating for an additional $200,000,000 in taxes. A move for a supplemental rev enue measure providing possibly for a general sales tax in addition to the pending billion-dollar bill about to go through the Senate is contemplated. Senator David A.

Reed, Repub- WON'T ATTEND, Is Washington Reply To MacDonald Plea That La sanne Conference Also Consider World Trade Problems. Washington, May 80 (AP) Pre mier Ramsay MacDonald's plea that the Lausanne reparations con ference, June 16, be turned into a general conference on world trade was said today by the State De partment to have left unshaken the determination of the United States to remain away from Lausanne. The United States never has been asked to attend the Lausanne and, if it were asked State Department officials said, it would not send delegates. This Government, since Presi dent Wilson's time, has held the United States asked no reparations from Germany and therefore is not concerned about reparations. It expects to have European nations pay their obligations to the United States, irrespective of whether Germany meets the reparations obligations imposed upon her by treaties and agreements settling the great war.

After the European powers have reached an agreement on reparations and intergovernmental debts, the United States will consider proposals foreign countries may care to make concerning the debts they owe to this country. In his recent visit to the Disarmament Conference at Geneva, Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of State, refrained from discussing the reparations and inter-governmental debt problem and the State Department says he has not discussed this problem by transatlantic telephone or cable since his return from Europe. Since the first announcement of the Lausanne Conference, it has been known that, after discussion of reparations, the delegates would consider plans for betterment of commercial conditions throughout the world. But reparations so greatly overshadowed the proposed trade discussion and Congress was so hostile to United States participation in reparations discussions that the State Department never considered the sending of delegates to Laus anne.

AMERICAN ENVOY RETURNS. Warsaw, Poland, May 30 (AP) United States Ambassador John N. Willys and Mrs. Willys departed from Warsaw today for the United States, where Mr. Willys will re enter the automobile business.

Westerner's Average 104 Miles An Hour.

Cliff Bergere Is Third Speedster To Tape. Victor Keeps Off Pace And Then Comes On. Billy Arnold Crashes When Holding Lead, Again Landing In Hospital -Two Machines Smash Up 150,000 Present Winner's Time 4:48:03. Indianapolis, May 30 (AP) With death-defying speed, Freddie Frame, of Los Angeles, roared to victory in the twentieth international 500 mile automobile race over the Indianapolis speedway today, leaving a string of broken records in the wake of his tiny gray-painted eight cylinder racer. Frame, a thirty-seven-year-old driver, with 10 years of racing experience behind him, smashed all existing records for the 500-mile race when he bounced his little racer fiver the finishing line in triumph.

He covered the 500 miles In In 4:48:03.79 to average 104.144 miles an hour, breaking the former record of 101.13 established by Peter De Palo in winning the 1925 classic. HOWDY WILCOX SECOND. Less than 44 seconds back of Frame came Howdy Wilcox, Indianapolis youngster, driving his first major race, to finish second. Cliff Bergere, of Los Angeles, a former movie stunt man in flying and auto crackups, finished third, about 1xri miles back of Wilcox. Bob Carey, a Hoosier from Anderson, was fourth, with Russell Snowberger, of Philadelphia, fifth.

The first four men beat De Palo's mark. Zeke Meyer, of Philadelphia, was sixth and Ira Hall, of Terre Haute, was seventh. Only 14 of the original 40 starters survived the strenuous competition of nerve, mechanical stamina and daring speed. One by one the 26 others dropped out because of motor trouble or exciting smashups. ARNOLD ESCAPES DEATH.

Billy Arnold, twenty-seven-year, old Chicagoan, and one of today's favorites, escaped dashing to death just as he did a year ago when his car, speeding more than 100 miles an hour, crashed into the high retaining wall on the dangerous north turn, torpedoed to the top of the banked turn and hung there a twisted wreck. Arnold miraculously escaped with a broken collar bone while his mechanic, Spider Matlock, of Chicago sustained a broken pelvis bone. It was just a year ago that Arnold crashed almost into the same spot in a smash-up that sent him to the hospital for six months. Today Arnold set out to triumph and he bounced into the lead while the huge crowd of 140,000 to 150,000 gasped in excitement. IN LEAD AT TIME.

At the time of the crash Arnold was tearing along on his 150th mile with a comfortable lead to his credit. Al Gordon, of Long Beach, was another victim of a crash, but he luckily escaped injury. The race had no sooner started after Edsel Ford, of Detroit, sent the drivers flying on their way, when Gordon's car went over the wall as the racers were starting their second lap. The only foreign invader, Juan Guadino, of Buenos Aires, met with complete failure. The dashing young South American was forced to surrender after his car, an American-built eight-cylinder, developing trouble from the start, had traveled only 175 miles.

La Follette (Republican, Wisconsin), said: "The Senator from Pennsylvania has made three speeches which, wheth er they were calculated to do so or not, have had the effect of doing J1 that is in the power of the Senator from Pennsylvania to create both a foreign and domestic run on the American dollar. "I say it is nothing short of striking a blow in this critical situation for the Administration and the Senator from Pennsylvania to arise and make a speech of the character which he has made this afternoon." But for advocates of the sales tax, La Follette said, the Senate could Continued On Page 2, Column S. MYSTERY In Killing Is Cleared. Pike Street Woman Confesses She Pushed Hotel ClerkJrhrough. Window At Her Home.

Mrs. Ann Martin, 33 years old, 251 Pike Street, was held yesterday by police after she told Detectives John Tebbe and Adolph Mezger how Frank Seis, 48, clerk, McFadden Hotel, 302 East Fifth Street, met his death early Sunday rooming. Seis was found lying in the gutter and injured fatally in front of the building in which Mrs. Martin occupies a third-floor flat. No charge was placed against Mrs.

Martin pending consideration of the case by Detective Chief Em-mett D. Kirgan. Early yesterday Mrs. Martin was taken into custody and questioned by the detectives, assisted by Sergeant Willard Elbert, Patrolmen Garrard Reed, Harry Helming and Roy Elbert. Mrs.

Martin told them that Seis came to her apartment late Saturday night, but that she would not admit him because he was intoxicated. Her son, 13 years old, now in the custody of Juvenile Court authorities, corroborated her story. After hours of patient questioning by detectives Mrs. Martin confessed that Seis died when he fell from a window of a room next to her flat Mrs. Martin said that she refused to admit Seis once Saturday night, but that when he returned and threatened to create a disturbance she allowed him to enter.

They went into an untenanted furnished room next to her apartment. She refused to accede to a request that he made, she said, and he began to struggle with her. Seis was between her and the window as he came toward her, Mrs. Martin said. She pushed him away.

The income tax schedule of Sen ator Tom Connally, Democrat, 0j-irninniniiriinn(ininnfnific(w Economy! Washington, May 30 (AP) Senator Reed Smoot, Republican, Utah, Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, estimated in the Senate today a speech by Senator Millard E. Tydlngs, Democrat, Maryland, had cost the Government $200,000. After Tydlngs had talked an hour trying to get the Senate to ask the Treasury for new figures on what money is necessary to balance the budget, Smoot said delay in passing the tax bill was costing a day. Tydlngs, he said, had already taken up one-tenth of the day, costing the Government $200,000. "It's expensive conversation," Smoot added.

From both sides of the aisle came impatient attacks upon "verbosity'' in debate and demands for action. Senator Matthew M. Neely, Democrat, West Virginia, lifted the voluminous record of debate on the tax bill and asserted that all but five of the 120 hours spent so far in discussion had been wasted. DISORDERS Continued In Spain Despite Government Insistence Of Quiet Four Hurt At Cadiz Churches Are Menaced. Madrid, Spain, May 30 (AP) Despite an announcement from the Ministery of Interior today that order had been reestablished throughout the nation after the extremist outbreaks Sunday, clashes took place today at Cadiz, Seville and Algeclras.

Six persons v-ere killed yesterday as Government forces broke the back of the nation-wide extremist strike. Four strikers were injured slightly in clashes with police at Cadiz. When authorities obtained the upper hand they padlocked extremist headquarters and placed in jail leaders in the movement. Strikers stoned a street car and wounded a woman passenger. Service was suspended.

Shipyards and airplane factories were not operating there, and there was no taxi cab service. At Seville, unidentified men, believed to be strike sympathizers, tried to set fire to three churches, but the blazes were extinguished before thoy caused much damage. Most of Seville's industries were shut down by the strike, rioters shot at street cars without inflicting injuries. Soldiers manned the bakeries. At Algeciras a strike was de clared in protest against the ar rests Sunday of syndicalist railroad workers.

From Gibraltar, it was reported, firing had begun In the streets of Algeclras. Trains were unable to leave and ferryboat service was suspended. Mails to be transferred to Gibraltar were sent by sea. At Madrid today 13 persons were arrested and accused of having participated In the extremist riots the weighted nozzle of the gasoline hose dangling from the refueling plane above caught in the stabilizer of Browne's plane and lifted the tail and smashed the rudder assembly. "I was flying just above them," Frank Whaley, pilot of the refueling ship, said, "and we were trying to make contact with the Lone Star with our refueling hose.

"The Lone Star dipped down several times to avoid a collision with my plane and was jockeying for a better position when she suddenly turned noSe down and darted for the water." A new type of life preserver, made for the navy, which Browne wore on his shoulders, kept him afloat. He was placed under an anesthetic while physicians tended his shoulder. Browne said he didn't jump from the plane, but stayed with her, hoping to bring her nose up. He said the plane threw him out and he grabbed a piece of the wing to hold him up. He was in tears when he was picked up by the rescue party, not from pain, he said, but from "disappointment." A total of 654 gallons of gasoline made Browne's plane weigh about four tons.

He had planned to load 300 more gallons from the refueling plane and then make a dash for Tokyo. While Browne slept, a citizens' Continued On Page 2, Column 1. PALACE Bombed In Belgrade. King Alexander Leaves Capital For "Several Days' Rest'' Four Suspects Held. Belgrade, Jugoslavia, May 30 (AP) The palace of King Alexander and five other strategic spots in the capital were bombed today.

A short reign of terror gripped the city, until police explained that the missiles were not extremely dangerous and were intended more as a demonstration of warning. The King left "for several days' rest" at Niska Vanja, it was announced. The bomb thrown at the palace injured a passer-by. The others inflicted no injuries, but caused slight property damage. They took place in a railway station near the Military Academy, at the Senate Building, at the Ministry of the Interior, in front of the newspaper Politico and in the vicinity of the Workmen's Insurance Office.

Four persons were arrested, including a Hungarian, a Croat and an unidentified weman. The fourth prisoner, Jelisije Ljubicic, was intercepted carrying a package he said he found in front of the Danish Legation. It proved to be a bomb. Seattle, May 30 (AP) A spectacular dive into Elliott Bay here today ended the transpacific flight attempt of Nathan C. Browne, New York aviator.

Browne and his volunteer assistant in refueling operations, Frank Brooks, were fished out of the water by a party in a sea sled. Browne had a dislocated shoulder. Brooks was unhurt although he complained he "hadn't intended to take a bath until Saturday." "We both left the plane at the same time," Brooks said. "We couldn't help it. When the wing tore off, we were left sitting almost in the open air.

"It rained plane all around us as we settled in our parachutes to the water. We left the plane at an altitude of about 500 feet and the chutes opened about 100 feet before we lit." Brooks said the wing was torn off in a steep dive caused when PISTOL SHOTS Are Fired Into Head Of Sweetheart By Eastern Girl To End Agony After Both Had Taken Poison. Alton Bay, N. May 30 (US) Helen Luscomb, pretty Lawrence (Mass.) girl, whose body was found in the lifeless arms of her married sweetheart, William P. Foster, An-dover, in his summer camp at Place's Pond, summoned her dying strength to shoot her sweetheart and end his suffering after both had swallowed poison in a suicide pact.

This was the reconstructed story of the tragedy, as revealed by an autopsy report today. Two shots in the head of Foster, married and the father of three children, convinced police the girl, unable to stand the sight of his suffering, had fired the fatal shots into his head, and then had lain down by his side to die. The autopsy also revealed the cause tor? the girl's worry, mentioned in a note she left for her family the fact that she was about to become a mother. The couple had been dead for two or three weeks when they were found by friends who had gone to Lake Winnlpesaukee on a fishing trip. The friends had been given the keys to Foster's summer camp by the dead man's father, Francis H.

Foster, partner with his son in the poultry business. Two notes were found, but the fact that they were in three apparently different handwritings led authorities to suspect at first that they had been forged by a murderer. Later, however, they arrived at the theory the girl had added a postctipt to Foster's note after she had shot him, and her failing strength accounted for the shaky character of the writing..
