SENATE SITUATION I
FORCES PRESIDENT
TOACCEPTTAXBILL
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Special Leased Wire to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1924.)
WASHINGTON, April 29.—As the
climax of the tax revision fight ap
proaches in the senate, the adminis
tration has become convinced t last
that the rates proposed by Secre
tary Mellon cannot be adopted.
Instead the president will hav? to
be content with a. compromise be
tween extremes. And he will be com
pelled to sign the bill presented to
him, for there is no chance of modi
fication even if he should veto the
rr. .asure. Sentiment in congress has
crystallized. It is fixed. No amount
of pressure from the administration
can alter the situation in which a
combination of Democrats ..nd in
surgent Republicans hold th? real
power.
The senate is about to vote on a
series of amendments. ,'enator
Smoot, chairman of the finance com
mittee, is starting exactly the way
Representative Longworth, Repub
lican leader, did in the house. He is
sndeavoring to get a record vote on
the Mellon rates, -d will be content
io get through that kind of a bill
which represents the —-"n between
;wo extremes. The Democrats and
Insurgent Republicans have com
olned to support a rate much higher
with respect to large incomes than
Mr. Mellon recommended, and much
ower rates so far as persons of
imaller income are concerned mn
.vajs originally proposed by the ad
ministration.
The battle between sound eco
nomics as represented by Secretary
Mellon and good politics as reflects *
>y majorities in both the ate
ind house has been won by the latter.
Mr. Mellon’s idea that rich and poor
dike would ultimately benefit by a
scientifically applied tax system has
leen rejected in favor of a scheme
vhich reduces slightly the burden - n
he wealthy, but materially cuts the
axes of .individuals with : comet up
o 10 or 15 thousand dollars a year.
The-’-' are ever so many voters
n the latter group. Fear that re
actions granted the wealthy would
ye the subject of criticism on the
dump has prevailed in congres.'. Mr.
Mellon’s own position has been vul
nerable, for while if analyzed to the
last detail it would be found that he
is not affected very much by any
bill passe-’ the ’••*” ’-n has keen
spread by his opponents that he
would profit personally, is would
others of large income with whom
he has been affiliated. \
The discussion of the bonus has
had a deterring effect, too. The be
lief that the bonus would cost a
good deal more than has been esti
mated has a controling influence.
Congress is in a spending rather than
a saving mood. Mr. Coolidge in his
New York speech pointed to the
number of measures' seriously
pressed which if approved would re
quire just double the entire income
of the United States government. Po
litical pressure is in many cases re
sponsible for the desire to appro
priate for specific objects beneficial
to certain constituencies. Perhaps
when the presidential campaign is
over and a new congress has been
elected there will be a renewed de
mand for tax reduction. The presi
dent will certainly not express him
self as satisfied with the bill given
him and he will sign it with what
may be termed left-handed approval.
He will be in a position to carry on
the fight for further tax revision
and it would not be surprising if
in the campaign itself the cry of
lower taxes were raised as an issue.
On what the senate does this week
and the conference committee there
after in handling the tax bill may
many of the arguments of the next
campaign be based.
SENATE APPROVES RAISE
IN TAX ON CORPORATIONS
WASHINGTON, April 28.—The
senate today approved an amendment
to the revenue bill increasing the
corporation tax from 12 1-2 to 14
per cent.
Announcement was made by Sen
ator Simmons, North Carolina, rank
ing Democrat on the finance com
mittee, that the minority would offer
later a substitute proposing a gradu
ated tax in place of the flat levy.
A decision by the senate on the in
come tax rates in the revenue bill
was postponed today when this sec
tion was passed over for future dis
cussion on request of Senator Sim- 1
mons.’
Senator Jones, Democrat, New .
Mexico, favored the committee
amendment, with modifications, but
• assailed the general form of the
corporation tax as opposed to a
graduated corporation tax. He was
supported by Senator Shipstead,
Farmer-Labor, Minesota.
Republican leaders frankly ad
mitted today they had little hope of
getting approval for the Mellon
rates, although a vote on them will
be demanded first. While they were
prepared to offer amended schedules

Lone French Aviator
Nearing British Flier
In Journey to Japan
PARIS, April 29.—France is jubi
lant over the brilliant flying stunt
of Lieutenant Pelletier D'Oisy, who
already has outflown both the Brit
ish and American ’round the world
flyers, having left Paris but last
Thursday.
After fighting terrible storms in
the Persian gulf and experiencing
untold difficulties in piloting his big
Breguet plane over the Mesopo
tamian deserts, the gallant French
airman has arrived at Bendar Abbas,
on the Persian gulf. He is only a
few hundred miles from Major Mac-
Laren, British ’round-the-world-flyer,
whose plane is damaged and down
in the Sind desert.
Le Journal computes that D'Oisy
has flown 4,333 miles in 37 hours’
flying time.
A movement has been started to
finance continuation of his flight
around the world if he reaches Tokio
successfully.
French air experts are hailing
D’Oisy’s flight as in many respects
the greatest feat in the history of
aviation. He acts as his own navi
gator, flying uncharted territories,
while his mechanic, Besin. sleeps in
the fuselage. When D’Oisy halts
in the night, he sleeps while the
mechanic overhauls the motor and
inspects the plane.
Lieutenant D’Oisy ha S l"ld d a re
markable career. He started flying
at the age of fourteen. He was
one of the few “aces” who flew
from 1914 throughout the war.
Paris newspapers print compara
tive time tables showing the Ameri
cans have averaged 127 kilometers a
day since they started, the British
228. and D’Oisy 1,265.
Atlanta Woman’s club in automo
biles; the H. M. Patterson & Son
ambulance; and, last, the court

All the floats carried the slogan
“Obey the Law.”
Roy LeCraw, president of the
junior chamber, and Frank Har
rison, marshal of the day, expressed
gratification at the success of the
parade.
Hope for Good Results
“I think we showed Atlantians ef
fectively the results of lawlessness,”
Mr. LeCralw said. “I trust that the
message will not be lost and that
our week of observance will give
citizens of Atalnta a deeper con
sciousness of the necessity of obey
ing their approval of the junior
chamber’s efforts to instill into
Atlantians a higher regard for and
observerance of law and order.
J. F. Gordy, director of the drive,
issued a statement telling of the
number of deaths and accidents this
year from lawlessness and estimated
an annual loss of $3,000,000 to the
city because there were those who
disregarded proper observance of
law and order. He said there could
be no estimate of ‘the suffering
caused and that those who obeyed
and respected the statutes often
times were victims of those who
did not. . ,
Governor s Proclamation
Following is Governor Walker’s
proclamation:
"Whereas, no nation, state or city
can be truly great unless there is
regard for the law on the part of
its citizenship. No citizen is worthy
the name unless he obeys the law,
and contributes his influence for law
and order, and
"Whereas, the Junior Chamber of
Commerce of the city of Atlanta has
undertaken to impress upon our peo
ple the need of due regard for law
and the necessity for its enforce
ment,
"Therefore, I, Clifford Walker,
governor of Georgia, do hereby pro
claim the week of April 27 to May 4
ns "Law and Order week,” and urge
the hearty support and co-operation
of every person interested in a bet
ter and higher morale for our state
and city.”
Mayor's Proclamation
Following is Mayor Sims’ procla
mation:
“Any movement contributing to
the peace and good order of a com
munity is exceedingly worth-while.
"Great is the might of orderly gov
ernment and an orderly people. But
paralyze law and the soundest struc
ture will quickly crumble and shat
ter.
, "Respect for law is one of the
| cardinal virtues of a good citizen. It
I is a. test of good citizenship. Instill
I regard for law and the necessity for
I enforcement automatically dimin-
I ishes.
“The Junior Chamber of Commerce
j plans to impress these and similar
I facts upon the minds of Atlantians
| during the week of April 27 to May
; 4, designated by the Junior Chamber
as "Law and Order week." Min
isters, jurists, newspapers, civic or
ganizations and other individuals
and agencies have been 'invited to
assist the campaign.
"This is a fine movement by a
splendid body of young men and de
serves the hearty support of every
I person and group interested in a bet
ter citizenship and greater Atlanta.
"Therefore, 1. W alter A. Sims,
mayor of the city of Atlanta, do
hereby proclaim the week of April
27-May 4, "Law and Order week” in
this city, and urge general observ
ance of the week and cordial co-op-
I eration with its sponsors, to the end
i that its benefits may be broad and
' lasting."

NEW YORK. April 29.—0n1y by
prompt adoption of the reparation
commission's latest plan can Europe
be saved from chaos, in the opinion
of its authors. Arriving o n the Levi
athan yesterday,' the triumvirate ot
expects, Charles G. Dawes, of Chi
cago; Ov«?n L. Young, of New
York, and Henry H. Robinson, of
Las Angeles, united in declairing
their work would he wasted unless
France and Germany took swift ac
tion.
The plan could become operative
as soon as the reichstag added the
essential legislation, Mr. Young, act
ing as spokesman, stated. He laid
emphasis on the urgency of speed.
"Suppose,” he said, "that, while
acceptance was delayed, the renten
,mark should break. Germany would
go into chaos, and our plan would
be valueless. Acceptance of the plan,
and flotation of the loan, would as
sure the stability of the re.ntenmark
and a corresponding stability of all
European financial and economic
life.”
Upon America would fall the.
burden of handling at least -half of
the proposed $200,000,000 loan for.
Germany, Mr. Young added. Eng
land, he thought, could take car«»
of $75,000,000 while the remaining
$25,000,000 could be floated by other
continental nations.
Mr. Young expressed the opinion
that the chief advantage of the
Dawes report lay in that it “ended
ihe five years guessing contest
among economists, concerning how
much goods Germany could export,
and how much of the proceeds could
be diverted to reparations.”
Guarantees for the fulfillment of
the plan, he considered, were amply
provided for by a united interest
which would lead to common action
and would be just as effective, in
case of default, as punitive measures
framed in advance.

that a bribe is not very far-reach
ing and does more harm than good.
After spending all this money on
Muscle Shoals, it looked as if the
whole property would be junked.
We called on the Alabama Power
company and the Tennessee Power
company and people everywhere,
and they replied: ‘No. No. No.
We’re not interested.’
“Finally somebody suggested that
maybe Henry Ford would be inter
ested. He went down there and
came back in two or three months

Bid Was Astonishing
"The bid astonished us and I be
lieve astonished the people in Wash

that Muscle Shoals offered a great
opportunity for the country. Rut
they say it is not’a good offer. That
it is not what it ought to be. They
could not kill the Ford bid unless
they had a counter-proposition. But
they could not get a counter-bid for
sometime.
"Hero worship is not a part of my
nature. For this reason, I did not
go near Ford when he came to

"As much as I think of Ford, and
I think he is a wonderful man. I do
not believe any contract should be
entered with Ford that does not
fully protect the country.”
Stahlman said in reply to Senator
Ralston that he believed the public
interests could be protected without
any amendment to the Ford bid.
Stahlman compared railroad de

In reply to Chairman Norris he
said he believed the power should be
distributed and not used altogether

would be.

LEAGUE OF WOMEN
VOTERSLAUDFHFOR
EDUCATIONALWURK
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Special Leased Wire to 'rhe Journal.)
(Copviglit. 1924.)
BUFFAIX), N. Y., April 29. —The
strangest national convention of the
year is being held here. Alongside
of it the Republican national con
vention at Cleveland and the Demo
cratic national convention in New
York would afford ,a remarkable con
trast.
For here are gathered delegates
who are interested in principles and
not. in parties. In the two major
conventions will be assembled dele
gates interested in men and political
parties.
There is no partisanship in the
National League of Women Voters.
Nor is there any attempt to pass
judgment of existing controversies
in congress. But the background of
these controversies, the principles
which are fundamental in them, are
being studied here. And the whole
convention may be described as a
university extension course. It is
by far the most intelligent effort
that yet has been made in America
to practice democracy in practical
terms and educate the voter to the
use of the ballot.
Education for Voters
The objective of the League of
Women Voters this year is to urge
75 per cent of the eligible women
voters of the nation to go to the
poll’* The league itself will not
tell them how to vote or what party
or candidates to indorse. But any
one who attends the meetings of the
various state or city leagues and
reads the various bulletins and pub
lications issued by them, has been
educated sufficiently to render an
individual judgment.
The league’s sole aim is good gov
ernment —intelligent and efficient
administration. What some men’s
organizations have taken generations
to accomplish in the way of advanc
ing certain progressive movements,
the League of Women .Voters has
achieved in four years.
Reports from the state and coun
ty organizations show that the nat
ural inquisitiveness of women has
resulted in regular interrogatories to
candidates so that the voter can
determine what those who seek pub
lic office really stand for. The
searchlight of scrutiny has been
turned on individual records. The
awakening of the women of the na
tion to their power in the Use of the
ballot is proceeding with remarkable
success. Each year shows an in
creased number of active workers in
the local communities.
The national convention which has
been in session for several days
has gone along harmoniously be
cause in no instance has it invaded
the domain of political parties. The
league, however, has not confined
itself entirely to abstract principles,
for it has gone on record unequivo
cally in favor of the entry of the
United States into the permanent
court of international justice, ac
cording to the Harding-Hughes pro
posals which recently received the
indorsement of President Coolidge.
Foreign Policies Adopted
Resolutions also have been formu
lated in support of such action as
would permit the United States gov
ernment to send representatives “t°
act on international economic com
mittees and conventions.” Also the
league favors measures of disarma
ment by international agreement,
particularly with reference “to na
val, military, aviation, gas and
chemical warfare.”
Not the least important of the
recommendations, incidentally, is one
that has only recently been agitated,
but which is of paramount impor
ance in an era of open diplomacy,
namely, "Measures to secure prompt
publication of state department re
ports.”
Apart from the foregoing recom
mendations for legislation, the
League of Women Voters has re
served for study the problem of rep
arations, the League of Nations, the
Bok peace plan, and the whole ques
tion of American foreign policy with
respect to the Philippines, the Mon
roe doctrine and Europe generally.
Among the topics is one relating to
a constitutional amendment whereby
treaties may be ratified by majority
instead of two-thirds vote. After
numerous round-table discussions, re
ports will be made on these ques
tions.
Apart from current events, the
whole organization here has begun
an intensive work of education in
governmental affairs, citizenship, so
cial hygiene, child welfare and effi
ciency in government with concrete
recommendations for legislation in
ecah. Indeed, attending the conven
tion here, where there is absence of
personal and party ambition, is a
breath of fresh air in a season of
congressional smoke.
Publisher of St. Louis
Star Dies at Age of 70
ST. LOUIS, April 28.—John C.
Roberts, owner of the St. Louis
Star and vice president of the Na
tional Shoe company, died at his
home here Sunday at the age of
seventy.
Mr. Roberts was a leader in Mis
souri and national Democratic poli
tics for more than twenty-five years
and was one of the friends of the
late President Wilson, whose poli
cies and ideals the Missourian sup
ported.
He is survived by his widow and
two sons, Elsey M. Roberts, publish
er of the St. Louis Star, and John
C*. Roberts. Jr., president of the St
Louis Pump and Equipment com
pa n y.
Ford could "back up behind the
contract.”
Stalhman said Ford “made his
money by giving the farmers what
they want, and he will continue to
do it.”
Seenator Ralston said he opposed
turning over public property to an
individual, unless the peoples inter
est was protected.
"It is not necessary to do that
now.” Stahlman said, "it is not nec
essary to do what the fertilizer in
terests want you to do, tn do some
thing that will prevent Ford accept
ing the bid.”
He declared Ford's present bid pro
tected the public interest.
Dan McGugin, one of the witnesses
last week before the committee op
posing the Ford bid, the publisher
said, did not represent the Tennes
see Manufacturers’ association but,
instead, “represented the power com
panies.
"He fought me in my newspaper
referendum as a hireling of the pow
er companies,” Stahlman declared. ‘
With the publisher still on the
stand, th© • ommittee adjourned un
til tomorrow.
SENATE EXPECTED
TO ADOPT GUILD
LABOR AMENDMENT
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
408 Evans Building-.
BY THEODORE TILLER
WASHINGTON, April 29.—Regu
lation by the federal government of
child labor in the south and else
where is coming nearer and nearer,
despite the handful of southern
members of congress still believing
in states’ rights. Unless it is caught
in a. legislative jam, the child labor
amendment to the federal constitu
tion will be approved before this
congress adjourns.
Practically all of the votes
against the amendment in the house
were cast by southern members of
congress who still '.old to the idea
that there remains such a thing as
“states’ rights.” Georgia ,as much
as or more than any other state,
fought for this position. Only two
Georgians, Representatives Upshaw
and Lankford, voted for the child la
bor amendment; the others were
paired or voted against it. Now the
issue is on the calendar of the sen
ate.
After the decisive vote in the
bouse which adopted the constitu
tional amendment giving the federal
government the power to regulate
the hours of employment and work
ing’ conditions of persons under
eighteen years of age, the senate
advocates of the measure today
more confidently laid their plans for
an early vote in the upper chamber.
Senator Shortridge, of California,
author of the constitutional amend
ment in the senate, is convinced that
the senate will follow the house ac
tion and propose to the country the
child la.bor amendment for final rat
ification. Likewise, Senator Short
ridge says he believes he has the
votes in hand to assure adoption.
"I have not polled the senate,”
said the California senator and au
thor of the child labor amendment,
"but I am satisfied that as soon as
pending measures are out of the
way, we will have the amendment
before the senate and it will be
adopted by the two-thirds majority
as required. I expect to get up the
senate resolution, No. 1, offered by
me on the very first day of the ses
sion, before the recess of congress
for the national conventions, or be
fore adjournment if v > adjourn be
fore the conventions. I think it will
be approved.”
Southern senators like Simmons,
North Carolina: Overman, North
Carolina; Smith, South Carolina;
Harris, Georgia and others who op
pose the Shortridge bill on the
ground of states’ rights, are plan
ning a long sighs against such a
broad constitutional amendment.

chemist —fed arsenic and germs to
his wife in stuffed dates, malted milk,
ginger ale and other foods. They
say here frequent illness from the
poison first caused suspicion to point
towards the husband.
Mrs. Baring is described as jealous
and had accused her husband of re
lations with another woman. The
couple was on the verge of divorce
a year ago but a reconciliation end
ed with a second honeymoon to Eu
rope.
Friends say Baring is a neurotic
with a passion for studying chemis
try. He- has a small laboratory in
his home. They feel his bent for
chemistry may have resulted in his
experimenting on his wife.

GARRISON REBELS.
REVOLT IS FEARED
THRODGUOUT CUBA
HAVANA, Cuba, April 29.—Dis
affection long smouldering in Santa
Clara province came to a head to
day when a detachment of the rural
guard revolted and fled from their
post near the city of Santa Clara.
Dispatches published by Heraldo
De Cuba said the men marched out
shouting “Down with Zayas! Down
with reelection.”
The dispatches were confirmed at
the office of the secretary of the in
terior, where it was said it was
feared similar movements might
break out in other parts of the prov
ince.
Receipts of the news was follow
ed by scenes of intense activity at
the palace, and the offices of the
secretary of interior and secretary
of war and navy.
The rebels seized the safe in the
city hall at San Juan de Las Yeras,
according to information obtained by
the newspaper La Prensa, which it
declared had been confirmed. An
exchange of shots between loyal
forces and the rebels followed the at
tack on the city hall and then the
rebels fled, it was declared. It was
not known how much money was in
the city hall safe.
Opposition to plans for the re-elec
tion of President Zayas has been
shown frequently of late in the east
ern provinces of Cuba and although
the president has never declared
definitely that he would seek re-elec
tion this fall, charges have been
made that he was working to this
end. He has merely said he would
wait to see what was asked of him
by his friends and in general terms
declared his opposition to re-elec
tion which he voiced some time ago.
Members of the Veterans and Pa
triots’ association which was organ
ized in Havana last August and
whose leaders have long talked revo
lution if they considered there was
no other way to force certain re
forms, are reported to have been
unusually active of late in Santa
Clara and Camaguey provinces.
There have been rumors that Gen
eral Carlos Garcia Velez, president
of the association, who went to New
York a month ago, had returned to
Cuba and was working in one of
the eastern provinces, hut these
have been denied unofficially.
It was reported that leaders of
the Veterans and Patriots’ associa
tion in Havana were being arrested.
The report said Dr. Oscar Soto,
Dr. Carlos Alzugaray Mario Garcia
Velez, a brother of General Carlos
Garcia Velez; Jose Maria Vergara
and Federiquito Morales had been ar
rested by army authorities and de
tained in Cabanas fortress, on the

VINDERLIP UNDER
DAUGHERTY’S GUNS,
PROBE TACTICS HIT
J ASHEVILLE, N. C„ April 29.
Charges that Frank A. Vanderlip Is
paying expenses of persons testifying
against the department of justice, in
cluding ex-train robbers and convicts,
and that the arrest of his brother
was an attempt to Interfere with his
election as delegate-at-large from
Ohio, were made by Harry M. Daugh
erty, former attorney general, in a
statement issued here last night.
“Vanderlip will need his money if
he intends to run the government,”
Mr. Daugherty asserted in issuing "his
statement.
"The senate, in sending an officer
to Ohio to try to arrest my brother
on Sunday, just two days before the
primary, was an additional small and ;
personal insult and for the purpose
of affecting the vote on delegates to
the Republican national convention,”
declared Mr. Daugherty.
“As I am a candidate for delegate
at-large,” he continued, “this trick is
supposed to make newspaper head- ' .
lines to mislead the public.”
Speaking of the investigation, Mr,
Daugherty said that in due time and
before proper tribunals, no proper ev- ’
idence will be denied.
“We will have some court proceed
ings now which will in the end show .
the •illegality of the proceedings and "J|
the bad faith of Ihose responsible for fl
attempted character assassination,”
he asserted.
“It would seem, by this time, those
in the department of justice who can
give the facts regarding the manner
in which the government’s business
is transacted would be called. The
important thing the public wants to
know is the record of the department.
“That being shown, the department
of justice will be given great credit, ( i
but it would break up the excursion
business to Washington of ex-train j
robbers, convicts, ex-convicts, indict- j
ed persons, and those who think by
discrediting the department of justice
they may escape indictment; dis
charged employes, cranks, notoriety*
seekers and ail sorts of queer per*
sons.”
“It would save Frank Vanderlip
considerable, as he is paying prac
tically ell of the expense,” he con- 1
eluded. ®
Mr. Daugherty returned here Mon
day for a. brief vacation.
