I the meeting tomorrow evening.
The borough has always fittingly
'celebrated the nation's birthday and
I the fireworks display has attracted
thousands of people in past years.
Owing to the business depression
it is deemed advlslbls by some to
omit the fireworks display owing io
the expense and have a band concert
I in the jiark as the evening) entertain*
i ment. Treasurer Hate, who has col-lected
much of the money for the
past celebrations, stated this morn-ing
that he believed funds could eas-ily
be collected for a celebration on
the same scale as in previous years
and that a fireworks display should
be included In the program.
Should there be a fireworks dis-play,
0 new location will have to be
found as the new athletic field oc-cupies
the site of previous displays
and the site cannot now be used.
It has been suggested that the old
golf ground, at Eleventh avenue west
from I'nyctte street would be the
most available site is a UUgC MOWd
could be accompanied on the grounls
and in the surrounding streets as (\c
traffic is light in these streets.

Daylight saving went into effect
on Sunday morning. The churches
observed the new time with practi-
<.illy no Inconvenience but a few
worshippers had forgotten to chan e
their time and came to service as tho
closing hymns were being sung. The
railroads operated on new schedules
there being a number of changes in
trains but the trains were operated
on standard time and patrons were
Instructed to add one hour to the
time tables thus a train due here
at S a. m. by the time table, the
train would be due at '.I a. in. by day-light
having time. This caused pat-rons
many long waits in stations as
many arrived an hour earlier than
the train.
Local business went off without a
bitch yesterday. The people had be
come accustomed to the new time
over Sunday. The post office has
not changed to the new time and the
carriers begin their duties on the
old schedule thus delaying deliveries
one hour. The people look the delay
good naturedly but the carriers were
compelled to answer many questions
as to their time.
The schools, industries and stores
are working on the new lime. The
Fifst National bank has adopted the
new time while the Tradesmen's
bank is continuing on standard time.
With the two institutions using
different time, a little confusion was
caused yesterday morning.
The delivery of the morning papers
Is delayed one hour. The "paper"
train due here nt 5 a. m. does not ar-rive
until G o'clock and this has caus
ed inconvenience to the early work-ers.
Tho railroad ticket agents are hav
lng their own troubles. All of yester
day they were busy answering tele-phone
calls as to the limp of trains
The Pennsylvania Railroad took oil
a number of trains and tho service
does not fit in with business at all.
Those employed In the city and were
regular riders on the trains about 8
a. m. found the only morning service
near their usual time is 7.:!:!, 8.27
and 8.4". daylight saving time and
the express at 10.30. The out bound
trains do not lit In with the new
time. TUP popular 4.10 p. m. ex-press
now runs at 5.10 new time and
omits this stop. This was a very
popular train. No trains have been
provided for the usual r> o'clock
crowd. The north bound service
tinder the new time in the morning
is such that a number of persons em-ployed
in local industries cannot use
the trains and are placed at serious
disadvantage.
The Pennsylvania Railroad offi-cials
recognize the Inadequacy of the
schedule and a new one-will be Issu-ed
June 12. The matter regarding
I rain service to and from this town
has been taken up with the rail-road
and adjustments are promised
that will restore the important trains

j Taking a Referendum
! on Proposed Tax Law
Chamber of Commerce is Asking
Business Men Their Views on
Taxation.
More than 1400 business organiza-tions
throughout the country have
been asked to vote on a series of
taxation questions submitted by the
board of directors of the Chamber
of Commerce of the I'nited States.
The ballot was received today at I he
offices of the Conshohocken Chamber
of Commerce.
The vote Is on forms of taxation
and does not deal with amounts of
revenue to he raised. Its purpose
is to llx the National Chamber's
position on the forms of levy which
might be used if needed to replace
revenue' lost through the proposed
repeal of the excess profits tax; to
determine an altitude with respect
to the continuance of war excise
taxes, and to get opinion as to the
form of taxes that might be substi-tuted
lor excise taxes If the reve-nues
now derived from them have
to he replaced.
One probable result of the vote
will be to determine the Chamber's
position as to a sales tax, on three
Forms of which members are asked
to vote.
The referendum is supplemental to
one, taken las: winter, which did not
result in a decision respecting all
questions asked. The first referen-dum
brought a decision as to treat-ment
of increments to capital In-come,
questions of net and inventory
losses, administration, etc. The pres-ent
referendum is confined to forms
of taxation which bad prominence at.
the Chamber's last annual meeting
held at the end of April in Atlantic-city.
/• $lf
The Chamber was committed in
the first referendum to a repeal of
the excess profits tax. The first
section of the present referendum
asks a vote on repeal also of war ex-cise
taxes.
The second section offers the op-portunity
to vote on substitute taxes
that might be used to replace rev-enues
lost through various repeals
and includes combinations of sub-titules.
The third section deals with forms
of a sales lax and asks those voting
for a sales tax to specify which of
three typo they favor.
The ballot is as follows:
(Repeals of Taxes)
SECTION OKI-:
(1) Do you favor repeal of war
excise taxes levied in relation to
particular businesses (except trans-portation
and communication)?
(2) Do you favor repeal of
excise (axes on transportation

The call for a book on "Practical
road building' reached the author

"where can the information be ob-tained
in concrete form?" was the
final question. And as it could not
be answered this volume is intended

Of this issue Dr. Blanche C.

we believe the second volume will be
superior to the first in literary quali-ty
and interest. Story writers are
swinging bacp Into a normal gait
now that the disturbing and destruc-tive
forces of war times are reced-ing,
with the result that the average

higher than that of 1919."

Julian ZuISOWSkl, known as Julian
DiCarlo, atcd IJ years and employed
as head baker at the Toke bakery,
killed himself at his home. lflO For-rest
street, Sal unlay afternoon by
drinking creolin, a strong disinfec-tant.
DiCarlo worked Friday night and
on Baturday began drinking. At his
hoiric be became quarrelsome and hi«
family appealed to t hi' police. They
asked that he be locked up until he
had iriotten over his spree but the
police could take no action unless a
warrant was Issued and this the
family refused to do.
DiCarlo left his home and walked
about the streets but was not disor-derly.
He returned home again short-ly
after f> o'clock and again became
so quarrelsome that his family left
the house nnd went to a neighbors.
In their absence, DiCarlo found a
bottle Of creolin, which was kept In
the house for use as a disinfectant,
and drank the contents of the bottle,
about two ounces. "£he family af-ter
leaving the house telephoned tho
polic shortly after fi o'clock. Offi-cer
Ruth responded and going Into
the house found DiCarlo lying on a
COUCh Rasping for breath. The offi-cer
saw the man was seriously ill
and summoned physicians. Dr. Wm.
McKensle and Dr. Isaac Pavilidls
quickly responded, and administered
antidotes. The physicians ordered a
search of the house in order to try
and ascertain what poison the man
bad taken and the bottle that had
contained the creolin was found.
Members of the family said that the
bottle bad been two-thirds full when
they left the bouse and when It was
found, it was empty. The physicians
tried to use a stomach pump but the
patient fought them and prevented
its use. The physicians then prepared
for a hurried trip to the hospital.
Fred, lllnple. a neighbor, offered his
automobile nnd the patient accom-panied
by Dr. McKcnzie was placed
in the machine nnd a quick run was
made to the hospital but all their ef-forts
were unavailing, as DiCarlo ex-pired
during the jo-urney.
DiCarlo attacked his wife nnd heat
her. His son, BSdward, attempted to
protect bis mother wlien the frenzied
father turned upon him nnd grasped
him by the throat and began choking
him. Edward broke awav from his
father's rrasp only after his neck had
