Couzens, of Michigan, today informed the Senate that he was being persecuted by the Treasury Department because of his criticism of the conduct of affairs in that branch of the government. The Michigan Senator declared he was being assessed $10,861,131.53 in taxes on a matter which had been properly settled in 1921 and that, instead of merely discovering this matter within the past few days, the Treasury Department had been in possession of the figures since 1022, a date prior to his entrance into the Senate. Senator Couzens' fight against Secretary of the Treasury Mellon has been one of the spectacular features of-Congressional activities during the past year. In the past week, he has allied himself with the group of Senators "read out" of the Republican Party by declaring that he is being disciplined at the expense of his pocketbook by reason of his criticism of Treasury Department conduct. Will Not Be Choked Off Today when he brought the matter up the Senate an effort was mode to choke him off by Senator Shortridge, of California but the Michigan Senator persisted and in his address explained i There is a premium on crime in Phila iff 3 delphia today, and it is up to the intelligent men and women to force the politicians from 4i I runng in tier xavor, lledwig Nicholson, the budding attor- IleVf a student at HEDna oio0Jjt-onior is making her home with Mrs.

Two patrons of Cafe IAiglon, Broad street near Walnut, who figured prominently in the police raid on the cafe March 7, were held ia bail for court yesterday by Magistrate Violet E. Fahnestock.

At the hearing the magistrate held the case of Eugene J. Felton, Sixteenth and Spruce streets, manager of the cafe, over until next Wednesday for advisement. She discharged two entertainers. Those held are Robert E. Schenck, 22, a Princeton student and varsity football player, of Wynnewood, and Edward Henson, 43, Chestnut street near Sixty-second.

Both were charged with illegal possession of intoxicating liquor. Schenck was held under $300 bail. The lujuor he is supposed to have possessed was not produced in court as evidence. Hen-son was held in $500 bail. In releasing Felton in the custody of his counsel, Michael Spatola.

Magistrate Fahnestock said: "It is evident that a half bottle of champagne and a half bottle of wine found in Mr. Felton's locker were bis private stock," Spatola urged that the management could not be held responsible for the liquor smuggled into the cafe by patrons. Thought Warning Was Given Several other bottles of whisky on tables deserted by patrons when the police appeared were found, detectives testified. Detective Levin, of the liquor squad, said: "When I entered the cafe, the first words I heard were 'ditch it. I took ii.

they meant to get rid of all liquor as quickly as possible. I went to the balcony and found a pitcher partly full of whisky sour," Thomas W. Burg, Walton avenue near Fifty-eighth street, and James Laughran, Fifty-fifth and Ridgewood streets, entertainers at the cafe, were sitting at the table where Levin found the pitcher, he said. "I was sitting at the table, all right," Burg admitted, "but I wasn't drinking. Mr, Henson had called me over to ask me to sing several sopg numbers.

The liquor belonged to some one who was with Mr. Henson, and not me." Said Girls Have Flasks A private detective employed at the cafe, testified it was virtually impossible to keep patrons from bringing in liquor. "Why, your Honor, the girls even bring in liquor bidden under their skirts," he said. "There are warning signs about and Mr. Felton did all any one could do to keep liquor out of the cafe." A liquor squad detective told the magistrate more than once had he seen drunken girls carried out of the cafe.

The Equitable building, the largest if not the tallest of New York's sky-scraper office buildings, was. sold today by the holders of its majority stock to a group including Leroy W.

Baldwin, August Heckscher and other directors of the Empire Trust Company, organized as the New York Empire Company, a holding subsidiary headed by Parragh A. Park. The price is reported to be $38,500,000, and control will pass on May 1. The sale price is the greatest ever set in any New York realty transaction, but only a fourth of the total amount will be exchanged in cash. The buyers assume a first mortgage of $20,000,000 and a second mortgage of $9,000,000, but purchase only the $9,500,000 equity.

It is believed the purchasers will capitalize the value of the building above its mortgage indebtedness and offer tha stock for public subscription. Another banking group, headed by the firm of llayden Stone Company, was known to have had an option on the property, which expired a few days ago. NAMED TO BRYN MAWR Dr. Agnes L.

President, a few days ago when there was debate going on in the Senate with relation to the so-called Republican irregulars or radicals, I drew attention of the Senate to what. I said was a disciplinary proposal from the Treasury Department to place an additional tax upon nayseJf. "Since making that statement, I think it is due to the Treasury that I am in receipt of information which indicated that they did not make the computation, but that the computation was made by a firm of tax experts, or lawyers, or both, by the name of Thompson and Black, of New York. I am also informed from sources that seem reliable that the information has been in the hands of the Treasury Department ever two years.

"I thoroughly indorse Dr. Ellen Potter's thought tor a house of correction at Holmesburg, ra-fher than a penitentiary. "Our penitentiaries do not serve society merely by isolating hardened criminals.

Instead, the system supports some COOO idle criminals whom is compelled to feed and clothe, while the wives and children are forced to work in order to live. This is unfair, and we must do something radical to show these conditions to the general public and shape public opinion so its force will make politicians see the necessity of corrective prison reform." ACTRESS-WRITER ENDS LIFE WITH SHOE POLISH Charlotte Carter Rather, ill ness to take the children into her fam It is the fear that he is to be shot at sunrise that is gradually destroying Woller's physical fibre, as well as increasing the damage to his xuinu, friends of the family said. Parents Keep Constant Vigil Each night the father remains at his bedside until 3 and 4 o'clock the next morning, when through fcheer physical exhaustion, Woller goes to sleep, freed for several hours, from the obsession that thirteen men with rifles are waiting somewhere to shoot him ily, although Miss Marie l.uoar, an agent of the society, pointed out that she already had five children of her own to attend. Court Calls Plea "Unanswerable" Judge MacNeille dismissed the protest and turned to Hedwig. "Young lady," he said, "your argument is unanswerable." Within the next few weeks the children, now in the care of the society, will be brought to the Rulh street house, and the family will be reunited.

The two latter are under bail to appear here, when wanted, but their bail expires at the end of the criminal court tomorrow and officials are not declined to demand renewal. Such a demand, when there is no evidence to convict, would be contrary to all legnl precedents, officials say. Careful search of State police has failed to reveal that the Silknittera were ever in this county before being brought here. Silknitter has been released on his own recognizance and bis bail 5s merely of a perfunctory kind. But for the recent hearing in Philadelphia, the Silknittera would be given a hearing here purely on the evidence of the Steimling family' that the child of mystery abandoned by Mrs.

Silknitter, is theirs. The declaration of Judge MacNeille, of Philadelphia, that there is no case against the defendants, is so sweeping as to make a trial impossible. The only possible outcome of such a hearing here would probably be the placing of the costs on Howard Koch, who believes he is the grandfather of the boy, variously known ss "Jacky Duff" and Russell Steimling, Jr. 100 LOST IN WRECK OF JAPANESE STEAMER Other Disasters Feared in Gale Th.it Swept Coast TOKIO, March 14 (By the Associated The casting ashore of fifteen survivors "of the small eteamer Uwajima Maru off Takashima, Northeastern Japan, seems to have established that the ship foundered with about 100 passengers in a gale that swept the coast on Thursday.

NEW YORK, March 13. Efforts of the- New York Central Railroad and the Pennsylvania to reach an agreement as directed by the port authorities for the joint use of the Hellgate biddge, of which, the latter road is joint proprietor with the New Haven Railroad, ended in a deadlock today when the thirty days allotted by the commission for carrying out its order expired. Word to the effect that conferences had been held between representative of the two roads, but that they had brought no practical results is conveyed to Chairman Julian A. Gregory, of the port authorities, today in a brief note from G. H.

Ingalls, vice president of the New York Central. No details were contained in the communication beyond the bare fact that negotiations' had failed.
