As a possible substitute for the unconstitutional 3 per cent, tax upon the gross receipts of business firms was being drafted Monday at the request of Governor Horner. Whether the plan will be introduced in the Legislature with administration support could not be learned, but it has been given serious consideration by Democratic leaders as a means of financing unemployment relief.

In tentative form, the bill would tax the occupations of business houses and firms, rather than the income of employes. Xo Exemptions It would specifically name the businesses and occupations to be taxed, with no exemptions within those classes. Whether it would exclude farmers and some others from the impost apparently had not been decided. Such action was upheld by the state supreme court last week when it rejected the tales tax act. All receipts from the occupations tax would be paid into the state treasury, with the Legislature to appropriate relief money from the general revenue fund.

This would comply with the constitutional requirement that appropriations must be made for only one purpose. Governor Horner, who was in Chicago Monday, had previously announced that a new sales tax bill would be rushed through the Legislature so that the state could provide for its dependent jobless. Need Relief Funds The Horner administration had expected to raise $60,000,000 a year by its three per cent, tax on retail selling. By including a larger number of occupations under the new plan, it was believed that a similar amount could be raised by a one per cent, charge. 0 Similar proposals are already before the Legislature.

One' of the strongest opponents of the sales tax, Senator James O. Monroe. Collinsville Democrat early In the session introduced a bill for a one and half per cent, tax on the gross receipts in excess of $100 a month on all persons in any profession, trade, occupation or business in the state. Backed by the Illinois Agricultural association, bills were placed before both Houses for a one and a half per cent, gross tax receipt tax on all persons, without an exemption of $300 per quarter, to affect virtually all occupations but farming. Drunken Monkey Eludes Air Search Over Estate EUROPE TARGET OF STATEMENT Secrecy Enshrouds White House Conference; Arms Dominant Washington AP President Roosevelt today will make an important new declaration of American foreign policy.

The pronouncement is expected to assert this country's readiness to consult other nations when aggressive jvarfare is threatened, and like the Monroe doctrine for South America, it is believed to comprehend a Roosevelt doctrine for European relations- With the Geneva disarmament conference facing a crisis and Chancellor Hitler ready to -address the German Reichstag on Wednesday on the subject of arms, Mr. Roosevelt devoted himself almost entirely Monday to this paramount issue. Late in tne day he held a lengthy -conference with Secretary Hull, Undersecretary Phillips, Assistant Secretary Moley and William C. Bullitt of the State Department Secrecy Prevails Utmost importance is attached to the impending Roosevelt declaration in the capital. The greatest secrecy also surrounds it.

Very apparently it is timed to deal with a crisis that is becoming more and more portentous in the tense European situation. The President is understood to ready to outline to the troubled world the part America expects to play in earnest efforts to preserve peace. Just how far he will go is problematical. He is believed to hold no opposition to entering into consultation with other nations. His policy, however, is not expected to include the United States in any votes or binding agreements on consultation.

The United States already has made clear its opposition to German rearmament, working instead for a reduction in the arms of her conquerors and other nations as provided in the Versailles treaty. Japs Near Coast On the point of making a public declaration at this time, several fac-i tors came in for consideration- Hitler makes his speech to the Reichstag setting forth Germany's arms position on Wednesday and the conference meets again at Geneva on Thursday following the recess forced by the German attitude. A Japanese delegation reaches San Francisco Wednesday, bringing to the fore Far Eastern problems including the continued and intensified advance of Japanese troops upon the ancient Chinese New York AP Students clashed in free-for-all fights across the campus of Columbia university Monday as the aftermath of a strike to protest the authorities' failure to renew the contract of Donald Henderson, radical instructor in economics. Eyes were blackened, eggs were thrown, clothes were torn and anti-Henderson students inadvertantly played a hose on the police when the stream failed to reach the demonstrators, but only three arrests were made. The strike, in which some 500 students participated, started with peaceable picketing, display of banners and distribution of circulars, but bloomed into a general melee around a mass meeting at which the speakers included Diego Rivera, whose work on a mural at Rockefeller center was stopped last week because of his portraying Lenin in the painting.

Rivera Speaks The Mexican painter compared his dismissal to the case of Henderson and satd freedom was at stake in both situations. While he was speaking a student attempted HUNT FIREBUG IN MAINE BLAZE Second $2,000,000 Conflagration Razes City; Hundreds Homeless Auburn, Me. AP Fire raging through the New Auburn section of this city late Monday devastated an area four blocks wide and nearly two miles long, destroying at least 200 homes and places of business and rendering more than 700 persons homeless. A public school house, a syna gogue and a parochial school were among the buildings destroyed. A Catholic church, in almost the very center of the fire swept area, with stood the flames.

With the Ellsworth incendiary fire of a ago Sunday night foremost in everyone's mind, the possibility that the Auburn catastrophe may also have been the work of an incendiary was widely discussed. Arthur Pontriands, owner of the garage in which the fire started, expressed the opinion that the blaze had been set. Harrassed city officials, rushing about in a frantic effort to organ ize relief workers, would make no estimate of the amount of loss. Most observers, however, believed the damage would be more than $2,000,000. The city has a popula tion of 18,000 Starts in Garage The blaze started about 1 p.

in Pontriand's garage, from what cause firemen had been unable to determine. A high wind flung the flames jn three directions, igniting closely packed tenement nouses. The tinder-dry structures, three to five stories high, burst into flames with incredible rapidity. A triangular space containing nearly 20 buildings was a roaring furnace almost before the first hose line was laid. The streets were a bedlam, frantic refugees running to and fro in confusion, ignorant of the direction in which safety might be found.

The fire started near a street junction and spread fanwise across four streets. It climbed up from the tenement section, spreading to higher ground parallel to the Androscoggin river. The Wilson school, one of the city's buildings, fell prey to the flames little more than 20 minutes after its pupils had been dismissed. Ends in Graveyard Lower water pressure hampered much of the fire fighter's efforts, while new blazes cropping up in distant places carried the fight to new fronts faster than apparatus could be moved about to meet it. Above the roar of the flames, the throbbing of pumpers and the wailing of sirens, there occasionally rose the deep, booming rumble of an explosion in underground gasoline tanks and oil storage containers.

At the height of the fire, embers carried across the river started three blazes in Lewiston. After spreading its path of destruction for more than five hours, the fire finally met an incombusti ble barrier in an extensive graveyard at the very end of the devastated area. 4 Court Upholds Beer Law Jefferson City, Mo.

Britain, France to Oppose German Re-Armament Demands Paris AP The United States, France, and Great Britain are actively preparing to face Germany with a com mon front of opposition against her rearmament. The German stand on arms, which is expected to be explained by Chancellor Adolf Hitler at the special meeting of the- Reichstag Wednesday, was the subject of a 50-minute talk Monday by Norman H. Davis, American ambassador-at-large, and "Foreign Minister Joseph Paul-Boncour. Mr. Davis advised, the foreign minister to take a mild stand towards the Hitler pronouncement, it Was understood, in order that the United States and Britain might be able to ally themselves with him.

The whole German question will be discussed by the French cabinet today. Later Mr. Davis will confer with Permier Daladier and then he will go to Geneva where he will publicly express the views of the United States an expression which will depend on Chancellor Hitler's Reichstag announcement Urge Moderation American, British and French diplomatic channels are counsel ing moderation to the Hitler government, with Mri Davis at the same time quieting the French in order that America may participate in the three-power front. The French government, a spokesman said, feels that Germany is determined to re-arm and is distrustful of Chancellor Hitler unless soft words are followed by peaceful acts. An American spokesman asserted that diplomatic officials of the United States, France and Britain were endeavoring to make it possible that "a skillful bridge may be constructed from the Isle of Elba, where Hitler has placed himself, back to the mainland." A spokesman said emphatically that Mr.

Davis arid the French foreign minister in their conference Monday did not touch on the subject of sanctions which might be invoked to coerce Germany. The question of the international tariff truce, proposed by America and already agreed upon by the principal powers, was merely given finishing touches, it was said. France Fears Arms Althougih French concern about the Hitler message to be delivered to the Reichstag remained unabated, a government spokesman said that France "does not expect Hitler to declare' openly that the treaty of Versailles is another scrap of paper." French sources explained that, instead, they believed that Germany intends to "re-arm quietly" and to announce only that France's failure to disarm has violated the treaty, thereby making Germany a free agent. Already the Germans have started their quiet rearming, a French spokesman said, by building tanks, big guns and military airplanes In their factories (such weapons of offense are forbidden the Berlin government by the treaty of Versailles.) Treaty experts have found that a decision of the Hague tribunal would be necessary for military action against a re-armed Germany.

A member suggested that it might be advisable to order a warship to Danzig, where the Nazis threaten to gain control of the free city government in the election May 28.

Sir John frowned on the idea. Danzig was taken from Germany in the treaty of Versailles.

Young, author of the reparations payment plan, held the United States responsible in an address last night for having "ruined the currency and banking systems of the world," with the resultant paralysis of international trade, through its insistence upon collecting war debts in gold. Young declared a failure to temper "the letter of the bond" with a realization and acceptance of the obligations of relationship, both among individuals and na tions, had aggravated the worldwide economic crisis. "In these difficult times, individ uals, guided by their own self interest, are learning that the letter of- the bond is not supreme," he said. "If that be true of individuals, how much more should it be true of great nations. The large self interest of the creditor re quires him to make account of the basic obligations of relationship.

If anger and prejudice be substi tuted for patience and understand ing, the bond will not succeed the basic obligation will be violated." Young spoke at the annual con ference of the Association of Junior Leagues of America. Throughout his address ran the thesis that "you can not dispose of living questions merely by writ ing a treaty, a constitution of a statute." "I venture the statement that the lamentable things happening in Germany today have their seeds in unfortunate clauses of the treaty of Versailles," he said.
