SEATING OF VARE DISPLACES TARIFF Postponement' of Actien on Pennsylvanian Sought by Administration Leaders. (Continued From First Page.) temporarily for argument on the pri- ority of the Norris resolution calling for an immediate showdown in the long-pending Vare contest. Senator Harrison, Democrat, Missis- eippi, made the principal speech for the Simmons’ proposal, saying it involved no desire to do any injustice to a cor- poration by revealing its financial status to a competitor. He said the country was complain- ing of what he termed the “secrecy” that surrounded the revision of the House bill by the finance committee majority and demanded that the votes taken on each item in the executive sessions of that group be spread on the Ppublic record. Couzens Cites Examples. In proposing his amendment, Senator Couzens said the Senate should be as much concern about the profits of im- porters as it is about earnings of manu- facturers. He cited examples where im- porters had brought in cheap foreign goods and marked up retail prices as high as 1,600 per cent, pocketing the profits and giving consumers no op- rtunity to buy the articles for what hey were worth. Statements of Democrats raising a doubt as to the need of increased duties prompted him to vote for the tax data proposal, he said. Also speaking for the resolution, Senator Walsh, Democrat, Massachu- setts, said the “say-so of a petitioner” was not the evidence upon which to base tariff re ns. They should be founded on the “solemn sworn financial statements” of the petitioners, filed when the tariff was not before Congress, he said. Contending it was “absolutely self~ evident’ that the tax statistics were rele~ vant to the subject at hand, Senator La Follette, Republican, Wisconsin, said he believed the returns would show wide discrepancies when compared with figures furnished by corporations to financial publications. He denied the contention of Senators Smoot and Reed that the information sought already was available in business manuals, declaring the Aluminum Co. of America, of which Secretary Mellon was a director before he entered the ‘Treasury Department, was not among those companies providing these publi- cations with balance sheets and income accounts, Text of Resolution. The text of the Simmons resolution follows “Resolved, that the committee on finance is directed forthwith to request the Secretary of the Treasury, pursuant to the authority vested in it under the internal revenue laws, to furnish the committee at the earliest practicable date a statement in detail for each of the taxable years of 1922 to 1928, in- clusive, of “The profits or losses, as the case may b_, and a separate statement for each of said years of each of the fol- lowing items: “Gross sales from trading or manu- facturing less goods returned, and any allowances or discounts from the sale and price. “A—Inventory at beginning and close of each year. “B—Merchandise bought for sale each year. “C—Cost of manufacturing or other- wise producing goods, separately, (1) salaries and wages exclusive of com- pensation of officers, (2) material and supplies, (3) compensation of officers, and scparately the total amount for each year returns are made as shown by the information filed, giving the de- terminable income of $1,500 or more per single person, $3,500 or more per married person, classified as follows, (a) salaries, (b) wages, exclusive of com- pensation of officers, of the tax payers e names the committee, or the ma- or minority members thereof, may from time to time during the con- sideration by the Congress of the pend- ing tariff legislation transmit to the Secretary as being the names of tax payers whose business is, in the opinion of the committee, or of the majority or minority members thereof, affected by the pending tariff legislation. “In so far as such profits or losses are contained in or shown by the in- come tax and capital stock tax returns of such taxpayers, segregated so far as may be possible, to show the profits or losses, as the case may be, in the several branches or departments of the business of such taxpayers.” Those voting for the resolution were: Republicans—Blaine, Borah, Brookhart, Capper, Couzens, Frazier, Glenn, How: ell, Jones, La Follette, McMaster, Mc- Nary, Norris, Nye, Pine, Robinson of Indiana, Sackett, Schall, Steiwer, Thomas of Idaho and Vandenberg—21.

By the Associated Press. PORTLAND, Me., September 11.— The “Boys in Blue” marched in review today in the officlal opening of the sixty-third national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. Less than 1,000 were afoot. Another 500 rode in automobiles. ‘Their ranks depleted and their years showing in their faces, the men who marched gayly away to the Civil War renewed their memories as four abreast they paraded for mile and then passed the reviewing stands, where they saluted their commander, John Reese of Broken Bow, Neb.; Gov. William Tudor Gardiner, his staff, and civic officials. The lagging steps quickened as the tunes to which they marched into battle resounded from fife and drum corps and bands intermingled with the marching soldiers. Forty-four years ago the veterans en- camped here, living under canvas. With smiling faces they received the tumultuous greeting from the thousands that lined the streets and were in the stand at city hall. Military regulations were fully observed as they passed the reviewing stand. Band From Texas. After the police escort which led the march and was headed by Capt. Hugh F. McDonough, who headed the line in 1885, came a band from a Texas post of the Sons of Veterans. Then a group of Sons of Veterans followed by the National Association of Civil War Veteran Musicians. Twenty men who were drummer boys and bu- glers in the war carried the brunt of the work, although they had the support of some musicians from affiliated organi- zations. A lone Texan, stepping high to the music from the corps, snapped to salute. The Logan Fife and Drum Corps of the Sons of Union Veterans of Rockport, Il., which for 15 years has led the encamp- ment parade, then appeared, followed by the Grant Post of Chicago with 52 marchérs. Wisconsin had 17 in line. The Fife and Drum Corps of the Daughters of Union Veterans of New Philadelphia, Ohio, led the delegation from that State, which numbered 50. Seven From Michigan, Michigan had 7 veterans marching, 1 of them blind. Two more were in an automobile. Potomac Post had 5 marchers, 2 of them Negroes, and was followed by Virginia-North Carolina with 4 Negro veterans, 1 on crutches and 2 using canes, Maryland department, with 16 veter- ans, was greeted with “My Maryland"” by a trumpeter from the Woman's Re- lief Corps of Pennsylvania, who, at in- tervals throughout the parade, added to the music of the marching bands and drum corps. The Department of Nebraska, each of the 14 carrying a silk American flag, got a great cheer from the thousands in the reviewing stands. Michigan had a drum corps of 20 veterans and 24 more marching, while Towa had 13, each wearing a red rose and carrying a large ear of yellow corn.

WAGGONER AWAITS LAWYER’S ADVICE FOR FUTURE ACTION (Continued From First Page.) banks, and neither my wife, my family nor any of the officlals of the bank had any connection with the transac- tion. “At one time the Bank of Telluride had deposits of $1,750,000. Then condi- tions in the town went from bad to worse. I wanted to get some money and put it in the Telluride Bank so that the banks of New York couldn't pos- sibly get it back.” ‘Waggoner said that he was thinking only of the creditors of his bank when he planned the transaction, and that he knew he had nothing to gain and every- thing to lose. “I would rather see the New York banks lose money than the people of Telluride,” the banker said. Telluride Bank Credited. “After sending the telegrams I went to New York and presented the drafts which transférred the money from the Chase National Bank to the credit of the Bank of Telluride,” Waggoner said. “I had been doing business with the New York banks for many years. I was known there and believed they would accept the drafts. “This idea of evading something all the time was beginning to get on my nerves,” he sald. ACCOMPLICES SOUGHT.

The telegrams were sent from Denver Friday noon, August 30, and the next day qu\lmer appeared in New York and obtained the certified drafts from the Chase National Bank. Seek Three Women.

McFerson would not admit that these securities were yet in his possession. o ISSUE SUBPOENAS. State Banking Commissioner fo Ap- pear Before Grand Jury. NEW YORK, September 11 (#).—The United States attorney’s office here to- day issued several subpoenas for the appearance before the grand jury of a “number of persons,” who are believed to have aided Charles D. Waggoner to defraud six New York banks out of $500,000. Among the subpoenas were ones for Grant McFerson, State banking com- missioner of Colorado; C. E. Down- tain, cashier of the Bank of Telluride, Colo., and an 18-year-old employe of the bank, whose name was not dis- closed. “There is no bt that Waggoner had accomplices,” Emanuel G. 1d, assistant d&tflcc attorney, said, “and some of tlhe pu:?m nl e ‘l.:ln'.l'le sub- nas either wittingly poena for i said, calls for him to before the grand jury investigating manipulations, books and papers which came into his possession at the time n;e 1"‘71" lf:ok over the Waggoner Bank of Telluride.
