THROUGH INSISTENCE Representative Graham Complains to President of Harassiig of Lobbyists. MEASURE LOSING FRIENDS Congress Advocates Declare Tax Plan Is First. President Coolidge was told today by Representative W. J. Graham of Illinois that officers of the American Legion and individual veterans of the world war themselves are rapidly defeating the soldiers’ bonus by their insistence that the bonus be taken up before tax reduction leg- islation This statement has particular sig- nificance because Representative Graham himself has been an ardent supporter of legislation for adjusted compensation, and only a few weeks ago was at the White House advo- cating, among other things, that the bonus legislation be given right of way over the administration’s tax reduction plan. Mr. Graham said to- day after seeing the President that he has changed position, at least to the extent of believing that tax reduction legislation should be dis- posed of by this Congress before any- thing else. He asserted that there are any rumber of representatives who feel as he does now, and who were among the most staunch supporters of the soldiers, and who, up until a week or 50 ago, were ca THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY ‘9, 1924." TO KITCHIN MEMORY Members Laud Life and-Services of Late Representative From North Carolina. LONG DEMOCRATIC LEADER Entire Session Today Devoted to Memorial Service. With the Senate still trying to find a way out of the tangle over the chairmanship of the interstate com- merce committee, the House today devoted its entire session to eulogiz- ing the late Claude Kitchin of North Carolina, for many years democratic leader in the chamber. Farm legisla- tion, meanwhile, held considerable attention, with the agriculture com- mittees of both the Senate and House continuing their study of the Norris- Sinclair bill providing for creation of a $100,000,000 corporation to pur- chase American farm products sell them at home and abroad. Representative Stedman, North Car- olina, presided in the Hous quest of Speaker Gillett. The entire session was devoted to th rvice. Mr. Stedman lauded Mr. Kitchin as a leader and orator. “He had no superior and fe as an orator and debater,” Mr. man said. “His fearlessness and ab- solute devotion to what he thought was right won him the respect of the nation and brought great honor to his state.” Speaker Gillett's Tribute.

BROWN PLAN FAVORED Preliminary Meeting of Societies Is Opened. Any hope that American engineers may have entertained that the De- partment of the Interfor would be reorganized this year was virtually blasted today by Secretary of Com- merce Hoover when, addressing a public works conference at which more than 100 engineering socleties I, Guaranteed ALARM CLOCKS ....

Speakeng at the conference, which is meeting preliminary to the annual con- vention of the American Engineering Council of the Federated Amerioan Engineering Socleties, has expressed hope that the so-called “Brown plan,” separating the Department of the In- terfor into a division of public works and a division of public domain, would be adopted soon. The plan would have grouped the engineering functions of the government under a single head, which has been the aim of American engineers for yea; Secretary Hoover told his audience that he thought the vast public works functions of the government must be segregated, but he added it would have to be accompanied by a similar segregation of al] other governmental activities. It would be impossible to accomplish such a task this vear, he thought. Action to reconstruct trans- portation facilitles is Imperatively needed, he déclared, pointing out that the national lo; suffered through inadequate transportation facilities in 1920 probably would exceed a bil- lion dollars. BOY DIES FOR HIS DOG. Snatches Animal From Rails as Train Bears Down. FORT PAY Ala., January 9.— Johnnle Long, cight-year-old son of Mrs. Homer Adams, sacrificed his life here late yesterday to save'his dog. With two other companions the lad was walking the tracks of a rail- road. A train bore down upon them and the boys leaped to safety. Johnnie noticed that his dog seemed unmind- ful of the approach of the train and he jumped back on the rail to save his pet. He tosscd the dog ffom the rtack, but was himself caught under the train.
