Washington, Jan. 24.—The Mellon tax plan for the first time was debat- ed today on the floor of both the sen- ate and house. presentative Garner, democrat of Texas, who is endeavoring to sub- #litute a measure for the treasury bill, enguged in an exchange in the house with Representative Mills, a republi can member of the house ways and means committee, who made a forty nminute prepared speech for the Mel- lon plan. In the genate the Garner plan was presented by Senator Jones, democrat of New Mexico, who furnished fubles to show its effects upon various class- es of tux payers. “The great secretary says the Gar- ner plan s Insincers,” xald Renator Jones, “apparently bepause of the im- portance given to small incomes. Mr. Mollon probably has so long dealt with large incomes that he cannot see the others,” Representative Mills declared the reduction of surtax was vital tp pros- yerity of the nation and asserted the democratie plan on surtax would limit {ux reduction to the small income tax- payers at the cxpense of the entire population. Chides Republicans, Mr, Garner poked fun at President (loolidge, Secretary Mellon and varl- ous republican leaders, “Unele Andy sent a tax bill to the house,” he declared, “with word to the republican leaders ‘Here's the bill. You mustn’'t touch it And Cal said: ‘Me, (00"" on've got 1o do what the presi- dent tells you to do i this congress,” continued My, Garner, addressing his remarks to the republicans, “I€ you don't stand by Uncle Andy you won't have enough money to run the cam- palgn in one county in Pennsylvania. He's boss now.” Mr. Garner predicted that Presi- Aent Coolldge would sign any tax re duction bill passed by congress, re- gurdless of his stand against basie changes in the Mellon draft. “If we send him the democratic plan without changing a single fig- nre he added, won't dare veto it.

T cannot say at the present time just what action is proper, but it seems to me that if the eouncil of each city would pass a resolution instructing the city attor- neys to appeal to the public utilities commission, it might do some good. “I um particularly interested in your statement that the Connecticut Co. Increased the fare because of its| grievance over the outcome of the one-man trolley controversy in the city of Hartford. I have read your interviews in the papers and was very much surprised that you would make a statement of this kind without knowledge of the real facts. “So that you may be correctly in- formed I will tell you that the Connec- ticut Co. is operating in the city of Hartford under an agreement which provides that two men are to be used on every trolley car.

It so happens that I was a member of the committee about thirty years ago that made this agree- ment with the Connecticut Co. and I know that the reason that this agree- ment was made was because the com- mittee felt that safety for the pas- sengers required two men on each car, “I cannot see how you can make the statement that you did in view of the statement of Mr. Storrs, president of the Connecticut Co,, that the one- man controversy in Hartford had nothing to do with the trolley fare increase and that this increase was coming anyway. “I would also ke to call your at- tention to the fact that when 1 came into ofice as mayor less than two years ago, onc of the first matters that I took up was the reduction of trolley fares.

The committec argues that the American team is already permitted to employ two trainers and rubbers, {which are all allowed to any one team, but Taylor contends there has been no such ruling. The matter came to a head today when Taylor delivered the ultimatum to Alan H. Muhr, international secretary for the French Olympie committee, that un- less Carman were permitted in the dressing room to give advice and physical attention, the skating team would not go on the jce on Saturday. Muhr offered to give Carman a special pass to the stands, but this was not satisfactory to Taylor who in- sisted that Carman must work in his professional capacity as adviser tp the team. Unless the committee re- cedes from its stand, American par- ticipation in the speed skating events is off, Taylor savs, and he will refer | the matter to the international skat- ing union.

Says Former Cabinet Offi- cer Wanted the Money to Enlarge His Ranch Hold- ings in New Mexico. Washington, Jan. 24.—E. L. Do- heny, California oil operator, testified today before the senate Teapot Dome committee that he had loaned $100,- 000 to former Interior Secretary Al- bert B, Fall on November 30, 1921.

He added that the loan was made by him personally and that the money did not belong to any oil company in which he is interested. Not Interested In Leases Doheny declared that during nego- tlations of the loan there was no dis- cussion of any contract between the government and apy of the Doheny oil interests and that the loan had no relation to any subsequent transaction relating to oil leases. The witness toid ihe wummilioe that no officer of his company knew anything about the loan; that it was purely “a personal matter,” Fall Doheny said he left Los Angeles January 17 to give the information concerning his loan to the committes and that he travelled via New Orleans to appraise Fall of his intention.

Meantime Mr. Fall was en route to Washington to appear tomorrow be- fore the committee for questioning as to the source of the $100,000 he says he took to Texas for use in enlarging his New Mexico ranch holdings after he resigned from the cabinet, After some discussion the senate gave unaniomus consent to discharge the committee of further considera- tion of the Caraway resolution, a step which had the effect of placing the resolution on the senate calendar where it may have to walt at least one day before action on it can be taken. By agreement between the demo- cratic and republican leaders debate then was shut off for the day. WHITE HOUSE SILENT Attorney-General Daugherly was summoned to the White House today for a conference with President Cool- idge, but there was nothing to indle cate whether any change had taken place in the administration policy of merely “observing” the Teapot Dome investigation in its present phases.
