FOR MEN AND SHIPS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.—Nearly
L .dhree quarters of x a billion dollars
K ris carried in the annual supply bill
for the treasury and postoffice de
partments reported today by the
house appropriation committee. The
' exact amount is $729,858,451, an
increase of $18,476,889 over total ap
’ propriations for the two depart
ments for the current fiscal year,
but $5,4’47,G0G less than budget es
ti mates.
Os the total $609,9<G,246 is for
the postoffice department—s24,7s4,-
-487 more than was appropriated a
yeart ago—and $119,882,205 for the
treasury.
The treasury department allot
ment does not take Into considera
tion $1,399,051,075 of permanent and
indefinite appropriations which de
not require annual cogressional ac
tion. It does, however, include $lO,-
629,770 for enforcement of prohibi
tion—sl,629,77o more than was
granted last year. The coast guard,
which is charged with curbing rum
smuggling by sea, is alloted $lO,
651,649, or $739,881 less than was
appropriated for the current year,
and the customs service is allowed
$13,874,140, or $1,555,64a more than
i was appropriated a year ago.
Os the postoffice allotment, major
items are $124,937,100 for clerk aire
; in first and second-class postoffices;
’587,000,000 for the pay of city let
. ter carriers; $104,450,000 to pay rail
roads for the transportation of
mail; $47,400,000 for the maintaic
? ing of railway mail service and SBB,-
P 250,000 for the pay of rural letter

f is alloted $1,500,000, the amount
“ voted it a year ago.
I 1 In its report the committee point-
E*— ad—out, in comparing totals wit a
those of last year, that the bill
dqss not carry the $240 bonus grant
ed clerks for the current fiscal year.
It also declared that the increased
appropriation for enforcement of the
prohibition and narcotic laws womd
t z enable the treasury to employ 300
additional prohibition agents and
145 more agents to be used in- pie
venting the illegal use of narcotics.
In the bill is an item of $51,600
t entitled “floating expenses,’’ which
the report explained would be used
to purchase fast motor launches,
| • , costing from $4,000 to $5,000 for usa
tgainst rum-runners.
The increased volume of imports,
the report said, makes it imperative
i liat additional funds be granted
tho customs service. The amount
fl. recommended, it was said, would
place .1,200 additional employes on
the pay roll.
Discussing postoffice department
revenue the report said that for
the current fiscal year which endo
June 30, would approximate
$568,630,000, leaving an estimated
deficit of about $28,000,000. Reve-
I nues next year, it was estimated,
will increasa 7.5 ppr cent. On the
basis of the appropriation carried
in the bill this would entail a de
ficit of slightly more than $2,000,000
L next year.

ON SURTAX BUTE
COMPROMISE SEEN
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1924.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—Repub
lican members of the house ways
and means committee have agreed*
among themselves to place the maxi
mum surtax rates at 35 per cent.
They are soliciting the approval of
Secretary Mellon and President Cool
idge, and some of the house members
think the approval will be forth
coming, as it is the best compromise j
they think they can get in the house.
Mr. Mellon proposed 25 per cent j
as the minimum, while the Demo
cratic plan introduced by Represent
ative John Garner, of Texas, pro
vides for a maxinium of 44 per cent.
The Republican leaders have been
trying to win converts among the
Democrats, particularly those who
represent districts with large cities
in them, the supposition being’ that
the big business interests will be able
to persuade their Democratic con
gressmen to go along with the Re
publicans at 35 per-cent rather than
jeopardize the chances of the whole
tax question being ground between
the- upper and nether millstone of
partisan rivalry.
Thirty-five per cent is better than
nothing, and 35 per cent is better
than 44—that’s the argument being
used among the conservative Demo
crats enough es whom are said to
be interested in the Republican pro
posal to encourage the Republican
leaders to go to Secretary Mellon in
order to win his approval.
Those Democrats, who are lean
ing toward the 35 per cent proposal,
do not represent a majority of their
party by any means, but enough are
said to be lined up to enable the
Republicans with their aid to get
the 35 per cent rate through the
house, but these Democrats will not
pledge themselves to vote for it un
less they have assurance that Secre
tary Mellon will accept it, and that
they will be voting for somathing
that really will be adopted. If the
president and the secretary of the
treasury stand pat on the 25 per
cent rate, the Democrats do not want
to put themselves in the position
of abandoning the 44 per cent rate
in the Garner plan.
Mellon Plan Changed
The ways and means committee is
changing the Mellon proposals con- I
siderably. The amendment accept- I
ed by the committee on Monday ]
which limits the 25 per cent reduc
tion oh earned incomes to those in
comes of $20,000, is not what Secre
tary Mellon suggested. He wanted
the 25 per cent reduction to apply
to all earned incomes of whatever
size. The house itself or the senate
may change it later, but the chances
are the maximum will not be in- :
creased. Another amendment which ‘
was not vital so far as fundamentals j
are concerned, but which affects wid-1
ows, orphans and others who are de
pendent on the work of others for
their incomes provides that all in
comes up to $5,000 shall be regard
ed as earned income and subject to
a 25 per cent reduction of taxes.
This amendment was inserted be
cause of the widespread demand that
congress treat widows and orphans
and invalids who are supported by
invested funds on the same basis as
the class who earn their incomes.
The limit of $5,000 it was felt would
take care of all the cases of this
kind, and yet would not carry the
25 per cent exemption too far. Thus
if a trust or funds from an insur-|
ance policy of approximately $Bl,- I
000 are set aside and invested at 6
per cent the annual income would
be approximately $5,000. This would
take a 25 per cent reduction in tajees
just the same as the man or woman
who earns a salary of $5,000 a year.
But if a person has a trust of SIOO,-
000 the annual income from which
at 6 per cent would be $6,000, the
first $5,000 is subject to the 25 per
cent reduction, but the remaining
SI,OOO takes the usual tax rates.
The ways and means committee
is making rapid progress in consid
ering the bill, and the all-important
question of surtax rates has, finally
been reached. The next few days I
should see significant developments |
in the fixing of the maximum surtax I
rates.

SUM MO COFFEE ’
EXCHANGES BEAT
COMMENT SUIT
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—The
government’s suit against the New
York sugar and coffee exchange,
which.was charged with operating in
Violation of the anti trust laws was
dismissed today by the United
States supreme court.
The chiefs justice, delivering the
opinion, said, there had been “abso
lute failure by the government to in ]
any way connect the defendants,
both corporate and individual de
fendants, with any such conspiracy”
as was charged by the government.
The chief justice said the govern
ment could deal with corners if it
desired by bringing anti-trbst suits
against speculators and gamblers.
“There has been absolute want of
evidence connecting the defendants
with any such combination,” said
Mr. Taft, conceding that some
‘maiiipulato”£>, gamblers and specu
lators” operate in sugar.
“What the government really asks
vs to do,” Mr. Taft added, “is to ex
ercise legislative power rather than
judicial power.”
“To sustain a conviction for a cor
ner or restraint of interstate com
merce there is an absolute want of
evidence,” the opinion said, “to con
nect the defendants wit hany such]
conspiracy.”
Referring to the fact that there ■
had been a rise in the price of sugar |
at the time the government made its ■
complairt, the chief justice said that!
there was some evidence that the I
rise had in part been due to the mis
construction placed upon a report
by the department of commerce and
in part to trade reports from Cuba
to decreased production.
Kansas City Pastors
Battle Alleged Curb
On Speech by Courts
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 28.
Ministers of Kansas City united to-j
[day to battle against ‘‘efforts of I
courts to curb free speech in the
pulpits.”
Practically every minister in the
city came to the support of Rev.
Baxter Waters, pastor of the Budd
Park Christian church, who after
attacking delays and other "loose”
methods of courts in dealing with
I criminals, was haled before Thad
I B. Landon, circuit judge, and severe
ly criticized.
Judge Landon demanded Rev.
Waters prove his statement that
“juries, are fixed” and then told the
minister that encouragement of
criminal classes come not from lax
ness in court method, but from vio
lation of laws by church members.
IHe charged that many of Rev.
Waters’ congregation were breaking
the prohibition law.
Rev. Waters characterized Judge
Landon’s efforts to curb his speech
as a “reversion to the ancient days i
of oppression when the prophets
| were banished, tortured and impris
i oned because of thtir eiritesm of
] civic and political evils.”
Rev. Waters told his congregation
■ that “if the time ever comes when
any man is denied the right to dis
cuss the conduct of courts, then free
dom will have ceased.”

OIL LEASE SCO
DEATH TO COOLIDGE,
JOHNSON AIDE SAYS
NEW YORK, Jan. 28.—“ The Tea
pot Dome scandal has made Calvin
Coolidge an impossibility as a Re
publican candidate,” declared George
Henry Payne, eastern campaign
manager for Senator Hiram W.
Johnson, in a statement issued last
night after he returned from Wash
ington where he had spent two days
in conference with Senator Johnson
“The decent thing, the only thing,
for Mr. Calvin Coolidge to do is to
withdraw his name from considera
tion as a candidate for the Repub
lican nomination for president,” the
statement declares. “He was a mem
ber of the cabinet in which Mr.
Fall, Mr. Denby and Mr. Daugherty
sat when the corrupt oil leases were
put over on the American people.
He had a double responsibility in
that he presided oiler the senate
when, in April, ■ 1922, charges, were
made that these leases were sus
picious and a committee appointed to
investigate thin. He, more than any
other member of President Harding’s
cabinet expecting, of course. Fall,
Denby and Daugherty, bad called
to his attention the fact that some
thing was wrong. It was to him
that Secretary Fall addressed his let-
I ter in April, 1922, with all the spe
cious arguments that are now shown
to be false.
“For 17 months, from April, 1922
to August, 1923, the investigating
committee was trying to fnd evi
dence of the crime, and Mr. Coolidge,
who, as chairman of the senate, had
heard the original charges and as a
member of the cabinet was associat
ed with those that were responsible
for it, made not a singly move to
assist in uncovering what almost
daily was referred to in the public
press as a great national scandal
“The particularly dastardly part of
this whole terrible affair is the at
tempt of the Coolidge managets to
charge it solely against President
Harding, a dead man. As presiding
officer of the senate, where the first
< charges were made, and as a mem-
I her of the cabinet, without portfolio,
! Mr. Coolidge had opportunities of
! sensing this scandal that President
I Harding never had. In honoy,
I decency, and gratitude to the RepuJ
| lican party which for 20 years has
provided him with public office, Mr.
Coolidge should give up his endeavor
to force himself on a suffering
party. ”

broken down and a near-riot was
staged in front of Orchestra hall here
last night by hundreds of people who
fought to hear Dr. Harry Emerson
Fosdick, celebrated New York min

Evening club.
A mammoth crowd started lining
up before the doors mere than two
hours before D”. Fosdick was due to
speak. "Standing room only” signs
were hung up long before the serv
ice started. Hundreds who were told
there was no room battered at the
doors. An usher was Injured in the
scuffle.
Dr. Fosdick, one of the central fig

preached from the subject, “Take
Jesus in Earnest.”
