Thomas Petcct, his wife and two daughters, left San Diego, one of the most beautiful, well ordered Ameri- can cities, and crossed the Mexican border to Tia Juana. Tia Juana has been made by Amer- ican gamblers, prise fight promoters, race track touts. Whiskey drinkers and others, into one of the worst resorts on the continent. You go 18 miles from San Diego to Tiajuana, then ee The daughters of Thomas Petect, while in Tiajuana, fell into bad hands. The father was partly re- sponsible, taking them into a place that he did not know, to drink beer. When they got back to San Diego feeling that he and his wife were dis- graced, Peteet killed the two girls, their mother, and himself, By orders of Secretary Kellogg, the matter was investigated. Several men @re arrested, somebody may face a Mexican firing squad. But that is no remedy. Secretary Kellogg might interfere with the wasv granting of passports to Tiajuana dives from respectable United States vommunities, Those that cross the border should be for- bidden to come ‘back the way they went, inside of three months. Or some other method could make it difficult for Americans—NOT MEXI- CANS MIND YOU—to maintain dis- orderly resorts, drinking, gambling, racing dives on the edge of United States territory, drawing overnight customers from the U ited States. Cardinal Mundelein, third of “th cardinals in America to discuss pro- hibition, says the people get what they want. If they don’t want pro- hibition they can get rid of it by electing a new congress, He says truly that it is lawful for bay citizen ‘to object to any lew, criticize it, worl ‘to ae it changed—if he OBEYS the law. “The Catholic “extension magazine” | under Cardinal ‘Mundelein’s control, ; predicts repeal of, the Volstead act. | Cardinal Mundelein is the third American Prince of the Roman Cath- olie church to express open opposition to prohibition. There is undoubtedly, a well organized Catholic movement ‘toward modification of the Volstead Jaw. The.

Addi-, tional Reductions, Passed by the Senate Washington, Feb. 13.--()-—Stand- ving pat for a reduction of nearly half | a billion dollars in the annual federal tax burden, the senate passed revenue measure late last night, The $126,000,000 cut made senate over the house bill must run the fire of conference between the of next week, with a view to final en- actment of the ‘measure in time to hh with t ‘tax returns on Conferees are warned in co,by Secretary Mellon that the condition of; the treasury will not of -the $456,000.000 reduction “l by the senate bill.

Final action by the senate came suddenly. after @ bitter row among Demoérats over the compromise made by ‘the minority members of the fin- ance committee with Republicans, by which the 20 per cent maximum sur- tax rate was agreed to in return for greater reductions on the surtax rates applying on the smaller incomes. Reed Assails Party Leaders Assailing the leaders of his panty, Senator Reed, Democrat of Missouri, declared they gained nothing by the trade and had in effect “surrendered to Secretary Mellon.” ssenger The declaration of the Missouri h sepator led to. vehement replies by Senator Simmons, North Carolina, ranking Democrat on the _ finance committee, and Glass, Virginia. Conferees Meet Monday Chairman Smoot of the finance committe, who ‘had charge of the bill in the senate, explained provisions of the measure to President Coolidge today. The senator said the house and senate conferees would meet on Monday, but predicted it would be a week or more before the bill was in the president's hands for signature. Senator Smoot believes the senate went $100,000,000 beyond a safe re- duction maximum, and is confident ‘the house of conferees can be count- ed on to hold the total cut to $350,- 000,000 or less.
