Bouju, prefect of the Seine Department, made a solemn pilgrimage at noon today the tomb of France's unknown soldier, The Mayor appeared deeply moved as he placed a wreath upon the tomb and stood at attention for a full minute in the midst of a profound and impressive silence.

The newspapers devote much space to accounts of the Mayor's visit, photographs, and samples of his wit translated as well as possible into French. Much also is made of the fact that he is the composer of a ballad.

That is a question for the Mayor of Chicago to answer.

Q. Do you intend to go to the track and field games at the Colombe Stadium. A. They can't run any faster than I did today along the Gare De Lyons station. Q.

What is your program? A. Nothing to do until tomorrow, and then nothing doing. HUNTER DEFEATS BELGIAN STAR Forest Hills, L. Sept. 14 (P)- Francis T.

BITTER TAX BATTLE SEEN BEFORE CUT IS MADE BY CONGRESS Navy, Flood Relief and 1928 Campaign All to Have Effect on Coming Fight. Washington, Sept. 14 (AP) While both Republicans and Democrats in Congress are agreed that should be substantial reductions the Nathere, tion's tax bill effective next year, a composing of widely divergent views will be necessary before the legislation can be sent to the President for his approval. The House Ways and Means Committee will begin drafting the measure before Congress meets, with a view to putting it through the House before the Christmas recess or immediately afterward.

But when the bill reaches the Senate it will be subjected to the rewriting which has been done there to all revenue measures since the war. 1928 To Have An Effect. or have been enacted. Naval Expansion to Figure. With a Presidential campaign in the offing, Senate Democrats are not likely to enter into the tacit agreement they did two years ago on the major features which the Republican majority of the Finance Committee wrote into the Revenue Law.

This of itself will complicate the situation and make for delay. With neither Republicans nor Democrats able to muster a working majority in the Senate, the insurgents, who have pronounced views on the form reductions should take, will hold the balance of power and probably will be able to delay action until farm relief, flood control and other measures have been put well on their way Admittedly these and other questions, such as naval expansion, will have their effect upon the amount of reductions which can be made without impairing the operations of the Treasury in the coming years when there may be a decline in industrial prosperity. Differences of opinion as to what and how much reductions in taxes should be made exist not only as between the leaders of the major parties in Congress, but also among the members of each individual party. IG. O.

P. SEEMS SURE TO INDORSE O'BRIEN That G. O. P. indorsement of Judge John F.

O'Brien of the Court of Appeals, a Democrat appointed last year by Governor Smith, seems assured was today's interpretation placed by political observers on the statement by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University. Dr. Butler set forth his version of the alleged agreement between Governor Smith and George K. Morris, Republican State Chairman, which was that the Republicans promised to support the Governor's appointee.

If Ogden L. Mills, G. O. P. candidate for Governor last year, had won the election, according to the agreement he would have appointed a Republican Judge who would have had Democratic support this fall.

All to Gain, Says Dr. Butler. The Butler statement, in part, follows: "Last year, after some discussion, it was clearly understood that the vacancy caused by the advancement of Judge Cardozo would be filled by a Democrat if Governor Smith were re-elected and by a Republican if Mr. Mills were elected. It was then tacitly agreed that in either case the Judge so named, be he Democrat or Republican, provided he were a thoroughly acceptable man, would be nominated by both major parties this autumn.

"From the standpoint of party politics, pure and simple, we Republicans have everything to gain and nothing to lose by the nomination of Judge O'Brien." Monte Munn Weighs George Godfrey, George Godfrey weighed in at pounds today for his bout with Monte Munn at Ebbets Field tonight. Munn tipped the scales at RADIO SYSTEMS NEAR CLASH OVER BIG BOUT RIGHTS National Chain Claims 1 Exclusive Deal but Columbia Circuit Denies It. The "battle of the three millions" between Dempsey and Tunney in Chicago on Sept. 22 appeared today to involve something of a battle by radio broadcasters also. Such a battle for the right to give a waiting world the progress and results of the $3,000,000 championship fight locmed as a possibility when the National Broadcasting Company in a bulletin issued today declared it had the "exclusive" rights to describe the fight through its chain of 60 stations in the United States and Canada, which will all be "hooked up" for the great event.

Some Competition. But the newly formed Columbia Broadcasting System, through an executive official, replied that the 16 stations of the Columbia are also going to do a little broadcasting the fight. "The fact is," said this official, "that a number of newspapers in Chicago area have been given the right to have a microphone at the ringside, from which they are to broadcast. With one of these, the Chicago Daily News, we arranged to broadcast through its station, which is WMAQ. We have received no word or itimation that that arrangement is in any way questioned, and we are going ahead with preparations to carry it through." In any event, the radio listeners or maybe 100,000,000 of them--will be able to hear about Mr.

Rickard's fight. GRAND JURY GETS BOMBING EVIDENCE AGAINST 4 SUSPECTS Explosive Materials Found in Room Placed Before Panel. Negro First Witness.

Cuff first showed the Grand Jury the three one-quart bottles, partly filled with liquids, analyzed and found to be sulphuric acid, nitric acid and glycerine, which when combined would make about eight ounces of nitroglycerine, enough, according to Mr. Dodd, to do "considerable damage."

The Arst witness was the mysterious negro, known only by his first name, Conrad, who says he saw Sylvia and DeHoyos in a car at Schermerhorn st. and Boerum pl. 20 minutes before the explosion.

He claims DeHoyos ran up to the car and said: "It's all fixed" when Sylvia an asked him, "Is everything all right?" Conrad works at night washing cars in a garage. Mr. Cuff will complete the case late this afternoon, calling Fernandez as the next witness.

More than 150 men and women were at the meeting and feeling high on the proposition.

Curtin, former counsel to Governor Smith and the Walker-Smith leader in 1925 against the Hylan-McCooey combine, advocated the re-election of Assemblyman Cline, 1st A. and the candidates backed by Patrick A.

Diamond, regular Democratic leader in the 8th A. D. It was stated that many of the politicians in those districts believe McCooey has had a hand in the opposition to the pro-Walker men. "I have nothing to do with the local fights," McCooey said in answer to a direct question whether he is with Leader Diamond or with Michael J. Reilly, the Democratic insurgent in the 8th.

That the settlement out of court of the suit brought against August Heckscher, millionaire philanthropist, by Frieda Hempel, opera singer, is in immediate prospect, was indicated today when counsel for both sides asked Supreme Court Justice Alfred Frankenthaler in Manhattan to defer ruling on a motion made by the millionaire's counsel to have vacated an order obtained by Miss Hempel's attorneys for examination of Mr. Heckscher before the trial of the suit. In a joint statement issued by counsel for both sides, the postponement request was said to have been asked "pending the outcome of informal discussions of the law and facts now in progress."

James H. Casey is rector, was opened on Monday with about 300 pupils. The school building was blessed in July by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Thomas E.

It replaced a small building in the neighborhood of the church. The steadily increasing registration of boys and girls made it necessary to provide a larger school and a year ago when Father Casey announced his intention of erecting a building that would meet the needs of the parish he received wholehearted support from his people.

Sister M. Liguori, who has been a teacher for many years in the parochial school system of the diocese, has been appointed principal of the school. Father Casey, rector of St. Joseph's Church, was for a number of years attached to the Church of St. Augustine in this boro.

Freedman Sees Effort to Perpetuate Democratic County Court. Taking exception to the statements contained in the presentment handed down in the County Court several days ago by the August Grand Jury, Jacob A.

Freedman, G. O. P. candidate for County Judge, today declared that the Grand Jury had been used "as a political mouthpiece for the judges who are now endeavoring to perpetuate the Democratic County Court." Mr. Freedman said in part: "The Grand Jury presentment lauds the various county buildings.

The Grand Jurors were, perhaps, unmindful of the fact that the county buildings were the subject of a scandal only a few weeks ago. The Grand Jurors did not know, perhaps, that the conditions exposed only recently have not yet been remedied, and I wonder if that august body is just as familiar with the workings of the Democratic County Court. "I regard this presentment as an insult to the intelligence of the public. It demonstrates rather forcibly the evils that have beset our public institutions and tribunals that have fallen into the stranglehold Tammany and its Brooklyn adjunct."

Livingston declared he will switch his vote and cast an affirmative ballot for the original Baumes "fence" bill "if my constituents order me to do so." The others, professing their championship of anti-crime measures, promised to support a "fence" bill with modifications. Here is what they said: Assemblyman Moran I am in favor of destroying the "fence," and I stand ready to vote for a strong "fence" bill which has safeguards for the innocent receivers of stolen goods.
