Practical Joker
Killed by Gun

CHICAGO. Jan I«—John Fu-
dala is dead today the victim of
his own practical joke.
Feigning angrr because his wife
had refused to prepare his favor-
ite dish for dinner. Fudala slip-
ped into the bedroom and loaded
his pistol with five blank cart-
ridges. He then returned to the
table where sat his wife and
their 6-year-old daughter.
Fudala pressed the pistol
against his temple and fired.
He fell to the floor lifeless. The
force of the explosion at close
range had driven the paper pel-

elared that the movement was just the
thing Sas Antonio had been needing
for a long while.
Many of the delegates made enthus-
iastic speeches pledging their support
and the support of the musical organ-
izations they represented. The offe-
ef William M. Mclntosh publisher of
The Light of WCAR as official
broadcasting station of the assor.a-
tion was accepted and committees
were appointed from representative
clubs and orchestras to take care of
the details of the work.
The plan is very simple and. as
Mr. Hood expressed it. "will prove
to be one of the biggest things San
Antonio has ever attempted."
WEEKLY PROGRAMS.
In short it consists of a weekly
program over WCAR. in which the
best musical talent of the city fur-
nishes the music and the outstanding
attractive features of San Antonio
are Bet forth in brief snappy an-
nouncemeats between numbers.
Not just ordinary programs you
know but REAL PROGRAMS in
which the best that San Antonio has
to offer in the way of music is pre-
sented in the most effective way.
Many of the tourists who have come
to San Antonio lately have said that
thev came large because of the ad;
vertisement of "Sunny San Antonio
given over the Friendly Station. „
When the "Voice of San Antonio
programs have been definitely estau-
lisbed in the minds of radio fans over
tbe country they will be I'** 6 * l ’
ward to by listeners-tn and tbe mes-
sage of San Antonio can be put
over” in a way that will result in
new citizens for the Alamo City and
Southwest Texas.

CUT BILL IS
ADOPTED
$365000000 Slashed
From Payment on
American Incomes.
WASHINGTON. D. C. Jan. 16.—
A harmony tax reduction bill provid-
ing for approximately $365000000 in
tax relief for the American people
was adopted tonight by the Senate
finance committee by a unanimous re-
port.
The concord between Republicans
I and Democrats in agreeing upon
provisions of the measure was un-
prccedentcd in the Senate’s history
| but followed closely a similar ”non-
i partisan” action by the House.
I Although a unanimous report ac-
companied the bill there were some
storm clouds in reservation made by
individual senators to oppose certain
provisions.
INITED SUPPORT.
The two major parties as parties
however were united in support of
the bill.
The Senate bill if enacted into
law will slash about $35000060
more from existing taxes than the
reductions proposed in the House
bill. Its outstanding provisions a«
differing from those in the House bill
were the repeal of all inheritance
and estate tnxeS effective whenever
the new bill becomes a law and a re-
vision of surtaxes on incomes between
$26000 and $60000.
The new surtax rates represent
the compromise by which th- Demo-
crats were wont to joining the Re-
publicans in a unanimous report.
The projiosed new surtaxes were not
as low as the Democrats at first de-
manded but will give the beneficiaries
millions of dollars more relief than
the rates adopted by the House.
Tbe committee’s reductions over the
House rates will provide the follow-
ing additional saving for tbe people:
$120(10.600 to $27000000 on sur-
taxes : $20000000 on estates: $5- i
000.000 on admissions and $1500-
000 on excise taxes.
PROVISIONS OF BILL
As finally reported the tax bill con-
tains normal income tax rates of 11-2
per cent on the first $4OOO ; 3 per
cent on incomes between $4OOO and
$M)00 and 5 per cent on incomes above
$BOOO.
On surtaxes the rates begin at 6
per cent at $20000 and runs to a
maximum surtax of 20 per cent on
incomes over $lOOOOO. The changes
make the new surtaxes 7 per cent on
incomes between $24000 and $23-
060 with a progressive tax increasing
1 per cent on each succ- eding 84000
of income up to $60060.
This places for instance a sur-
tax of 10 per cent on incomes be-
tween 336.000 and $40000 and a sur-
tax of 16 jer eent on incomes be-
tween $60000 and $64600.
From $64000 to $160000 the House
surtaxes remained in the bill. In
repealing the estate and inheritance
taxes the committee made the repeal |
effective only on the estates of m-n
who died after a passage of the bill.
1921 rates were made effective on
all outstanding estates upon which
taxes must be paid in the coming |
year. On admission tnx*a th A Senate
| committee increased the exemption
from 50-cent tickets to 75-eent tickets.
which would cause a loss of $1>000-
000 annually in revenues.
TLe committee restored the 10 jier I
eent amusement tax to !■ gitimate
dramas which had been removed by |
the House and which totals $5000.-
<**• a year. A gain of 36.000001)
revenue over House rates were cf- |
footed when the committee restored I
the 2 je r cent tax on motor tricks I
which th House had repealed.
Although the committee reported I
unanimously on the bill ns a whole. I
this change in the House provision |
will be fought on the Senate floor. I

LAST MATCH LEADS
TO ARREST OF NEGRO
WANTED IN DALLAS
The match flashed weakly and then
died with a gust of wind.
Inconsequential though this action
may have seemed Friday night it
spelled tragedy for a negro man.
It was the last match. He ap-
proached Detectives Massey and Mc-
Gowan.
“Got a match" he asked unaware
of the identity of those to whom he
spoke.
But the officers recognized his coun-
tenance as the likeness of a photo-
graph on a circular letter from Dal-
ias police.
“Here’s your match." Detective
Massey said handing him the article
“but you can borrow more at thq city
jail."
