CITY TAXES bAME FOR NEXT YEAR
No Increase and Possible Re¬ duction—Police Fines Show a Great Gain
NEW PLANS DISCUSSED
Taxes for the city of Wilkes-Barro for 1951 will not be IncroAsed. This was the announcement made last night by Commissioner of Finance Joseph G. Schuler, who expressed the hope that a decrease may come. The work of compiling the tentative budget for the coming year, .which means appropria¬ tions th.'it will aggregate $730,000, -will bepin this week when tho members of the Board of Pommisslonors will be a.sked to submit a skeleton of the oon- templated improvements for the com¬ ing year, and what it will require to conduct the affairs of tho five depart¬ ments for the twelve-month perTod.
The millage of tho city for the past two yoars has been ton mills on a valu¬ ation estimated at $7!>.ono.ono. It was belie^-od by many that wilh nther mu¬ nicipalities jumping the cost of gov¬ ernment operation, this city would fall in line. However, .Mr. Schuler. who h.'is been at work on the incoming year's budget, .says he has a skeleton lir^pared which Indicates the taxes w ill_ not be increased and may, if the pl.in of the city officials carry, be re- d;ieed. Just to what extent this de- c'-'.-ise ma.v go is a matter of conjec¬ ture, for earh dop.-irtinetit the past year accomplished improveinents that were a necessity, ami each department was operated wilh a view to economy.
Thero are lni|irovomerrts that must b<- nndo tbe -coming .vt.-ir. The city has c-intr.Tcted for a tombination pntrol ard hmbiilnnco motor c.-ir which wilt III- delivered in .ianunry and will cost ?4.400. A new Stut? motor engine at .1 c-.st of $13,000, contrncted fi f.- last Jt:iie, which w.as later del.-iyed in ship¬ ment bocau'-o tbe Ceinml.'-sioner of l-'iriance refus-^d to sanction the con- trif-t wit'ioi;t funds provided for its purchase, wil! .-irrive in the early yoar. Tlie-o aro ithei impnncme-its in the way of mote- rippan.ius whl?h will likely be m.-fV durirtg tbe year.
An ft-jm Of Saving Another ihiprovemcnt in tho way ot Etreet upkeep is contemplated on the reeommerdation of Commissioner of Streets .Martin C, Murray, who has recoinniedndod an a.-pb^lt plant for tl.r city. The loan ordinance of tw) jear.i ago jirovideg sufficient funds for this )mpi-o\-< r!-ott and it will not bo i;e( ("ssili y to m.-ike tlii.s :n jinrt of the ri"l budget. This imiirovemont is esti-, niiited (k-y th.> iiuicii.-iso of the land, v.-l.ieh will be noar a railroad siding, and for tl-.o buildi^ig and the equip¬ ment at tiio iiliint," about $l.".,000. .Mr. Sehiiler ripiiroves this imiu-ovemf nt. ll- holds that with the city doing tho jiiphall repair work mutli time and ino'iov -an bo saved He .-^aid tbat the city would i>atch up the little holes in tho paved stroots, thus preventing these ruts from getting larger, caus¬ ing iiiino>ance to vjhicular traffic, and ^.^vi^.K tho taxoayers much expense.
If another hard winter, such as last winter is experienced, it will require a good-nized appropriation for the repair of paved street. Last year many of tho asphalt streets were torn by the we.-ither element.s. rmd the same thing will occur this winter, ns many of the .'isph.-ilt streets wero paved years ago. The city also plans to pave several ri!les of tho iinriavod streets and the iii.-ijor ii;irt of tbis work wil! be in the Seeond .-ind Kourleeiitli w.inls. Mr. -Murniy. during bis tenure of office, ailopteil a plan to improve streets in one section before st.-irlini; Ibo - iinr p:ivod strei-ts in othor parts of the city. With tbe Heights .-ind .southern .sec- ; ion sti-i'iis in !;ood condition he wiH turn the attention of bis dep.-irtment tn the I-iist l-:nd and Rolling .Mill Hill (iiniiniinitios.
Living Cost a Factor During tho past .several weeks city employees in all departments have forwarded petitions to the city coun¬ cil asking for increases. The police and firemen have asked for 2h per cent, .advance. It is safe to predict, judging from the inter^-^ew with Finance Commissioner Schuler. In¬ creases -will be given but not in the degree asked for by these employees. •If thero is a noticeable decrease in living costs the city emplosces will be better off -with small increases," said .Mr. .<chulor, "however, if there is no ll ndancy of price reductions, the city employees must be given advances in salary." Just what the.so incroa.ses will mean i.s a question but the pre¬ ilict ion is that 8 per cent, increa.ses will be given to employees receiving Ibe low salarios in tho municipal gov¬ ernment. Mr. Schuler is anxious for '.be city to dispose of the old lock-up building .and to purchase a suitable central city property for the stabling of the horses of the police, park and street departments as well as the apparatus of these departments.
.\ new item that will "be fotind In the new budget will be for a swimming pool, amounting to $6,000 The podl will be built at the D. P. Griffith park on Hillside street, one half of the ex¬ pense of the pool and a bath house having been secured hy a carnival condui ted last, summer. It is also hopt-d that a pool of good proportions will be created in the new V. M. Kirby park, this expense to be borrre from tho   contribution   of   Mr.   Kirby.
The rei-onstruclion of the South street briilge is an improvement long needed, for which the city officials are now making plans. The Commi.ssioners have been in communication with of¬ ficials of the various railroads on a plan whereby the corp«irations will join -with the city in erecting a sub¬ stantial structure. It will require a year to carry out the plans and make any big start towards its i-ompletion, but the Commissioners are confident. More Help Needed
More men are needed in the police ^Continued On Page 17.)
Mother Of Rival Gridiron Captains Has Cheers For One; Tears For Other
¦ Princeton, N. J., Nov, 13.—^Tears for the Blue; cheers for the .Gold and Black! Those were the emotions of a gray-haired woman who sat in the stands today and watched her two stalwart sons, Mike and Tim Callahan, fight each other for the honor of Yale smd Princeton. She had mothered the captains of both teanu and the youths were engaged in personal combat far down on the turf, each the keystone of his eleven.
Yale's colors had been forced on her by the adherents of Captain Tim; Black and Gold had been given her by Captain Mike's followers. She waved them both. Her face was tense with anxiety for her two bo^s and ^e heard the fineil whistle with frank relief,   •
'Tm glad they're not hurt," she said, the first real smile of the day wreathing her face. "I'm glad for Princeton that Prince¬ ton won the game," she said. "But it would have been nice if Yide could have won. Mike won last year and I did sort of want both of my boys to win a gamne."
The clan of CalleJiam immediately forgot hostilities £uid Tim congratulated Mike on the victory.
'The score board t^s all I've got to say," Mike said. "Yon might say every one of us eu-e happy to close a success¬ ful season with Yale."
"Mike had the better team and deserved to win," Tim said. "He had the men and that's all there is to it"

DELEGATES OPTIMISTIC
Chicago. Nov. 13—The last round for peace in baseball was expected here next week when committees of the major and minor leagues attempt to draft a new working agreement.
.\ new working basis for organized baseball will restore harmony In all branches, baseball leaders hare believ¬ ed, following the termination of war bv the club owners of the American and National leagues. The compromise worked out hy whioh Judge I^andls was unanimously appointed controller of affairs of the gam* for seren years. will prevent pos.slbilities of another major league conflict, it w.ns believed. Judge I.andis was assured of the backing of the little leagues today when a committee of six pledged him their support. They discussed with basebairs new- supreme court those re¬ forms of the game they deemed needed by the minors and announced they were confident their cases nnd disputes with the majors would be judiciously handled.
Tho committee appointed by tho na¬ Uonal association of professional base¬ ball leagues, however, received explicit instructions to use caution in treating with the big leagues. The small lea¬ gues contend the separation three years ago caused by status of players it) the army draft was the result of bad faith on the part of the national commission.
The decision of Judge Landis to be supreme judge of baseball was also expected to complicate matters as most of the magnates, large and small, wanted a commission of three civilians.
Meetings of the committees from minors and major .leagues -will be held as soon as the majors appolnte their committeemen. The majors will make the.se appointments in time for the joint meeting to be held in New York noxt moiitli.

Geneva. Nov. 13.—When the League of Xations closes in the middle of De¬ cember its initial .session which starts here Monday, the league is practically certain to embrace .16 state.s. more than 1„1?0.000.000 people, or about one- fourth <1t thc population of tho world.
The league will begin its official functioning' Monday -with 42 nrember states, comprising 29 which partici¬ pated in the "World War, and 13 neu¬ trals, which accepted Invitations to join the assembly. During the assem¬ bly's sessions the applications of 14 states will be passed upon. Those in¬ clude Armenia, Ksthonia, Austria. Fin¬ land. Georgia, Iceland. Costa Rica and Bulgaria.
As constituted at present the world hafl 77 independent states, counting tho British dominions separately. Hence, with the league's membership raised to 56, there will be only 21 outside the League, including the I'nited .''tates, Germany, Russia, Albani.a. Arabia, Azerbaijan, Rhutan, Courl.ind, Lithuania, Mesopotamia. Afghanistan, Morocco, Abyssinia, San Domingo, Ecuador, Nepal, Mexico, Turkey, Mon¬ tenegro and  Hungary.
Tbe socrtariat has beon Informed that Hungary will apply for member¬ ship as soon as her peace treaty is ratified. If tbis is done in timo she also may be admitted at this session.
Virtually all delegates to the Assem¬ bly have arrived. The British repre¬ sentatives headed by Lord Cecil, came by special train. In an article which will be published Monday in the R^^-ue de Geney, Cecil admits tlie covenant probably will be revised.
"It -was never intended to impose a covenant like the laws of the Medes and the Persians," he says. Cecil de¬ clares the makers of the^covenant are aware of its faulLs, but that it "is suf¬ ficiently intelligrhle and decisive to af¬ ford a basis upon which others may build."
Washington, Nov. 13.—The labor group in the new congress will flght for modification of the Volstead law to permit the sale of light -wines and boor If the gr^up follows policies of the American Federation of Labor, It was i made clear today at the Federation headquarters.
The Federation Is on record as favor¬ ing light -wines and beer,"  said  Vice j President Matthew Woll. I     Plans  for  the  fight   to  amend  the I law  may  be  made  this  week  by  the executive  council   of   th^   Federation, w-hich    had    been    in    session    since Thursday.
The council may take up the liquor question,, said Vice President Frank Tobin of Indianapolis. The labor group In the new Congress includes fifteen members who belong to trades unions, according to President Samuel Gompers and others friendly to labor.
The executive council is expected to continue in session most of next week. Owing to illness of President Gompers, the council today was unable, Woll said, to take up any ^^tal issues, such as unemployment wage cutting and-a legislative   program.
Gompers is expected to return to the council Monda/y when the members will go to work to frame the policy of the federation toward the fight lo establish non union shops which labor loaders charge employers all over thc country are engaging in.
Open  Shop   Movement
According to inforrpation given the council, emplo.vers are encouraging thoir workers to join the 'American I'liion" movement now spreading throughout the west. The movement is based on tho open or non-union shop idea, according to reports to President Gompers.
As union heads here see the move- T ment, it Is being built as a rival or- | ganization to the trades unions af- ¦ filiated with the A. F. of L. The or- ! ganization ' is issuing membership cards and holding closed meetings lik© i any  labor  union.
"We havo nothing to fear from It," said Woll today. "Evidentlv the Amerl- oar. union Is an attempt to recruit non¬ union workers or those not affiliated wilh the -American Federation of Labor. Organization of these wprkers Is a gcod thin.g. If thoy c.in bo tau.«;ht to act tn concert, they soor. will find tiieir way into tho regularly consti¬ tuted trade.s unions affiliated with the .\. F. of L. This will save us the ex¬ pense and labor or organizing them. If the end, of coui-jre, the regular tr.ides union mfivomont will be strengkthened .ar.d oil worker! will benefit If this Is a more of the employers it will prove a boomering for them."
Republican Unity Is Up To Harding
Washington, Nov. 13.—Insurgent R?publican Senators will put It up to Presidentelect Harding to de¬ cide whether there shall be peace or war in Republican ranks after Harding takes office, a leading "ir¬ reconcilable" said here I today. "Harding can assure himself of tho cooperation of the irreconcil¬ ables and keep his party undi\ided in the Senate," this leader sajd, "If he will refuse to heed the counsels of those wWm the 'insurganls' call re-actlonaries,. " If he listens to the reactionaries, he faces war with the Insurgents, it  was declared.
The insurgents, if he chooses war, are preparing for it. Their program is already well defined. The Senator referred to scouted the claims of - the leaders that they will be able to curb Insurgency In the Senate, The treaty irreconcilables number a dozen, but all of tliese would not be "Insurgent" on domestic questions such as taxation. However, the Senator said that his faction if forced to fight against re-actionary measures, would not hesitate to .-•ombine with tho Democrats, That would (ndarger Republican control, he predicted. The essentials of the ¦insurgent"  program are these:
1.—They will refuse to accept ca.bhiet positions or other offices under Harding, if such acceptancs ¦would put tbem under obligations, shut thom-up, shelve them or make it impossible for them to start something when thoy see fit
2.—Thoy will play a waiting game, lotting the leaders control them until they sea whetlier Hard¬ ing is accepting advice from the . reactionaries", either on the treaty or on domoutlc questions.
3.—Ha •ing won their point or. the League ot Nations covenant, they will next attack the treaty itself, mainly its economic provisions, and will try to stir up public opirtion against them in an effort to have Harding reject the peace settle- mrnt in its present form just as h-i reje<-te<l tho league covenant.'
BOLSHEVIK ARMIES COMPLETELY CRUSH WRANGEL'S DEFENSE
Evacuation of Crimean Peninsula Is Begun and Fall of Sebastopol Is Hourly Expected. Allied Peoples Get Ready For An Immediate Flight.
REDS IN FULL CONTROL
IRE
Paris, Nov. 1 3.—Completely crushed by the Bolshevik on¬ slaught. Baron Wrangel's army already has begun evacuation of the Crimean peninsula, according to semi-official dispatches received heie shortly before midnight. French warships and transports were said to be aiding the embarkation.
The reports stated that occupation of Sebasftopol by the Soviet forces was imminent. The dispatches said that the Reds pierced Wrangel's front in the Perikop sector on Thursday.
A dispatch from Sebastopol, received at midnight, stated that arrangements had been made for members of Wrangel's government the foreign military missions and members of the French colony to embark on the French armored cruiser Waldeck Rousseau, a vessel of 1 4,100 tons.
Baron Wrangel, anti-Bolshevik leader, is preparing to abandon the entire Crimean peninsula, according to a dispatch received by the French war oflice tonight. This would mean complete v^rithdrav/al from the present campaign against the Bolsheviki and was accepted here as signalizing the complete failure of Wrangel's efforts to set up a rival government in Russia. The evacuation, of course, would be made by sea and it was a&srumed that Wrangel would temporarily establish himself at Constantinople.
Ready For Flight
Later information received by the foreign office said that Wran¬ gel was preparing to flee from the peninsula with as much of his army as he can find ships for.
Two French armored cruisrers already are at Sebastipol to as¬ sist in the embarkation. The French hope to send other craft thero from Constantitnople.
Meantime tf\e Reds were said to be pouring into the peninsula rapidly through the break into the Perikop defense line on the isthmus which they outflanked by crossing the frozen sea of Azof to the rear of the Wrangelites.

Complete evacuation of the Crimean peninsula by Baron Wrangel forces was forecasted here tonight as the cables and wireless began bringing the details of his overwhelming defeat by the Bolsheviki.
No official confirmation had been received of thd Constantinople dis¬ patch which stated that Wrangel al- road.v had evacuated .Sebastopol, his main headquarters on the south¬ western tip of tho peninsula, but the French  foreign   office   received  a  de¬
layed communication stating the anti- Bolslievik leader wa.s then preparing to remove the civilian population at onco.
"General Wrangel's position is in¬ creasingly precarious." the foreign office stated. "The Bolsheviks have captured Uzok and great quantities of war materials. Petlura and Bala- kovltch have jointly launched an offensive against the Bolshevlkl on a wide front in IJkrania. The latter al¬ ready has occupied the entire Mozier district

Admiral W. S. feen.son, chairman of the board, .said {onight ho was uncer¬ tain as to when ho would call the first nieeting.
