C, Dec. 30.— Speaker John N. Garner said the Democrats expect to raise $200,- 000,000 in revenue without addi- tional levies or taxes. This will be to meet the Treasury deficit. Speaker Garner said the method would be by the enactment of amendments to existing laws stop- ping loopholes through taxes now evaded.

Under Secretary Mills made crit- icism of the program outlined by Representative Rainey, of Illinois. This program advocates heavy sur- tax levies on the wealthy. Mills said: “There is little profit in soaking the rich because large incomes are no longer theirs.” Rainey’s program has not met with general approval of the other ‘Democratic leaders.

A jury had decreed that he was a member of the Molly Maguires, a secret band of terrorists who ruled the lower anthracite fields in those days, and a judge had sen- tenced him to hane. To the very last the condemned insisted he was innocent. As they marched him to the gallows he wrenched his rgiht arm free, slap- ped his hand on the dust-covered floor and planted it high on the wall. “That mark is the hand-print of an innocent man!” he cried. “It never can be washed away!” Nor could it.
