Miami Beach, Fla, Jan. 28 UP— President-elect Hoover said today he would be ‘most happy” to see former Governor Alfred E. 8mith, who Is spending part of his vacation time at Coral Gables, only a short distance from the Hoover hom- on Belle Isle, Mr. Hoover's statement, made in reply to a question from a newspa- per correspondent, follows: “By all means I should be glad to see him.' Advised of Mr. Hoover's state- ment by telephone, the former New York governor sald he had no state- ment to make. “Will you see Mr. Hoover?” was asked, “I said there was no statement,” the democratic leader replied. He added that he was interested, but that he was in Florida for a vaca- tion and objected to newspaper cor- respondents continually calling him on the telephone. “I would be glad to see you men in a group at any time,” he sald. An effort to bring the president- elect and Mr. Smith together through a third party was under- taken today by Hamilton Wright, press agent for Miami, who called at Hoover's headquarters. This request was flatly refused, advisers of Mr. Hoover taking the position that they would not become a party to what they termed a *publicity stunt.” Mr. Hoover went to his executive offices on Delle Isle early today for the first time and had as his first caller Horace A. Mann, Washington attorney, who directed the republi- can campaign in the south last fall. Courtesy Call Explaining that his call was sim- ply one of courtesy as he had not seen Mr. Hoover since the election, Mr. Mann, in reply to questions, took cognizance of various publish- ed reports that he would be chief patronage dispenser for the south and that he also might be political secretary or adviser to the new pres- ident. “There is no job that Mr. Hoover has that I would have and Mr. Hoo- ver well knows that,” Mr. Mann said. “I do not aspire to be dispenser of patronage for the south or any other place; that would be left to the organization. he (Continued on Page 15) TAXES SHOW DECREASE REVENUE REPORT SAYS 1928 Has $43,782,717.27 Less Than the Year Before Washington, Jan. 28 (UP)—Taxes collected in 1928 from all sources uggregated $2,775,276,956.23, s compared with recelpts in 1927 of $2 §19,059,672.50, the Internal Revenue Bureau said today in its annual tax report.

BIGNAYY MENACES PEACE, WALSH SAYS Montana Senator Outlines His Objections to_ Bill FAYORS ~ SCALING DOWN Supporters of Cruiser Mcasure Have In Mind Possibility of War With Great Britain or Japan, He Asserts, ALSH, ‘Washington, Jan. 28 (#)—Senator Walsh of Montana, in a speech be- fore the senate today outlining his reasons for opposing the cruiser bill, sald those who favor building the 16 ships have in ,mind the possibility, first, of & war with Great Britaln, and second, of a war with Japan, He declared no one has indicated that the United States navy, as it now stands, was not adequate to meet results arising out of contro- versies with any other countries save the two mentioned. He was opposed to the bill, he de- clared, because he believed it would interfere with any attempt of the United States to obtain further agreements for the curbing of naval armament. The cruiser bill, the msenator de- clared, contemplates that England will continue her *t .ditional prac- tice” of intercepting and scarching neutral vessels in time of war, and this contemplation, he added, will lead to difficulties. “I am wedded to the idea of parity as between the United States and Great Britain,” Walsh asserted, “but I should like to see that parity at- tained by scaling down, rather than by building up.” Senator Walsh declared, however, that in his opinion there was no in- congruity in approving the Kellogg treaty and in passing the cruiser bill. How Views Differ “The sponsor of the cruiser bill in the senate,” he sald, “are no less attached to the cause of peace than are the rest of us who may vote |against the measure. They equally harbor the hope of an agreement for the limitation of naval arma- ment. The difference is a difference of view as to how most certainly to arrive at an agreement, fair and just to the United States. “Not a few of those who will sup- port the bill take that course, con- vinced that by so doing they aid in bringing about a conference and in getting satisfactory results from ft, and that to defeat the bill will en- courage the belief abroad that there is no purpose on the part of our government in any event to bulld. or that should any purpose be en- itertained by the executive branch it can be circumvented through the spontancous or incited opposition of the congress. “I confess that my disposition was at first to support the bill, sharing the belief that to proceed to build would lead to an accord, but on reflection, I have convinced myselt that another cffort to agreo may bring results, and I am eager that the trial should be made.” WILL INCREASE SCOPE OF GOSSIPING CHRGE More Than- Four Firemen to Be Questioned by Board The names of firer n who will be brought before the fire board Thurs- day night in the first step of a drive to end gossipiag in the department, have not yet becn announced, and it was officially stated today that not even the men themseives have been informed thus far. Although it was made known that four men would be summoned to the meeting, it is understood that many more than this number will be call- ed in for quedtioning. No formal charge has yet been placed with Chief W. J. Noble. Until such time as several of the men have an gp- portunity to present their defense to general accusations, charges will not be brought, it is understood, but there are exceptions to this rule which involve several prominent in the department. The scctions of the rules which it is claimed have been broken ure those which resulted in a 90-days suspension for a licutenant, and loss of a week's vacation for a private. |last year.

It is expected that the committee will arrange to consider them within a month, in order that whatever changes are to be put effect may be perfected before the spring season, when traffic increases tremendously, The boulevard street plan will also be considered shortly, it is assured, and definite action may be taken to stop traffic entering main thorough- fares from side streets in order that vehicles on the more heavily trav- eled streets may move with a great- er degree of safety. Under the boulevard plan, traffic on side streets would be obliged to stop and then proceed cautiously when the cessation in the traffic stream on the main thoroughfares permitted it to enter, Changes The proposed changes in the pres- ent ordinances, submitted by the po- lice department, are the following: No parking from the southwest |corner of Walnut and South High | streets to a point north, west side, 75 ft., day or night. No parking on the south side of Walnut street at tbe same intersec- tion to a point east 75 ft., day or night, No parking on the south side of Walnut street from the intersection of Arch street to a point west 100 feet or to the driveway of the Park- er Shirt Co. property, day or night.

Scarch for Christopher Cullen, 36-ycar-old East Weymouth war veteran, began after the bullet-rid- dled body of a woman discovered half-buried in the snow in a fleld off Hobart street Saturday afternoon kad been identified as Mrs, Cora E. Jacques Culien, 39. Assistant District Attorney Wil- llam Kelly of Norfolk county plan- ned today to scek a first degree murder warrant for Cullen, who took the dead woman as his bride at a church wedding in Lowell a week ago yesterday. A description of the missing hus- band has Leen broadcast and police throughout New England have been asked to watch for his automobile, a 1928 model Chevrolet coach, Massachusetts registration 405,107 Efforts also were being made to locate the .22 calibre rifle, six bul- lets from which penctrated the body of the murder victim. Police lcarned that Cullen purchased a weapon from Eugene Hutchinson, Jr., of Weymouth only a few hours before the crime was committed. Cullen made a down payment of $2 for the gun and agreed to give Hutchinson the balance later. Piecing together the fragments of evidence with which the govern- ment’s case will be constructed, po- lice expressed the conviction that Cullen, after purchasing the gun, deliberately drove his bride to the lonely section of Hingham, forced her from the automobile, and fired six times at her at close range. Shortly after buying the rifle, Cullen went to Brockton and attend- ed a wake, leaving his wife at their newly-established Fast Weymouth home. On his return he laughel and joked with relatives and friends and appeared in his usually good- natured mood. He told them that on the morrow he planned to drive his wife to Lowell so she might get the remainder of her trousseau. Next day, Friday, the Cullens started for Lowell, hut they never reached that city. Police believed the marder was committed within 45 minutes after their departure. The husband has not been seen since. It was a kewple doll which led to prompt identification of the mur- der victim. Mrs. Cullen had receiv- ed the doll as a gift from John H. ‘Tobin, owner of the house in which the newly-weds were living.

Brought on the city tug Macom from the Hoboken pier where his ship, the United States liner Amer- ica, is docked, Captain Fried was hailed at the battery for his rescue of 32 men from the sinking Italian freighter Florida as vociferously as he was three years ago for saving 25 from the foundering British freighter Antinoe. Among those led in triumph with him up a resounding Broadway jammed with noon-time thousands of financial district office workers and others who swarmed down to cheer the heroes from other parts of the city were Chief Officer Harry Manning, who commanded the life- boat that took the Italians from their wrecked vessel. The other elght men from the America who manned the lifeboat, and Nelson Smith, the America's chief wireless operators. ‘Whistles Blow ‘The Macom reached its pler at the battery at 12:50 o'clock amid a con- | certed din from the whistles of har- |bor craft. As the boat docked and |the waiting thousands caught their first glimpses of the men from the America, a swelling chorus of ac- claim rolled upward along the nar- row stretch of lower Broadway, re- verberating between the double row of skyscrapers, to city hall, where Mayor James J. Walker was waiting to present the city's official greeting. The crowd at the Battery was es- timated at 3,000 by police before the Mason arrrived, and was steadily in- | creasing. Broadway was lincd all the way to city hall and there another crowd estimated between 2,000 and 3,000 was gathered. The line of march was guarded by 300 patrol- men standing along the curbs. Parade Starts As the parade started up Broad- way, hundreds of men and women clerks who had returned to their offices before they had opportunity to get a closer view of the heroes, leaned from tier on tier of high win- dows to shower their greetings down on the procession, which was led by detachments of soldiers and sailors. The traditional tribute of ticker tape began to float downward from the skyscraper windows even before the Macom docked and the paper snowstorm increased in density as the proeession moved up Broadway.

The Haeara, Monad, Wardak and other tribes in southern Afghanistan have expressed their continued loy- alty to Amanullah, Since Amanullah’s loss of the throne of Afghanistan on January 14 there have been frequent rumors that he was about to return to power. After he left Kabul, the capital, he fled to Kandahar, in the scuth, and there the royal standard broke out from the palace flagstaff, indicating that Amanullah still con- sidered himself a factor in Afghan politics, The throne which Amanullah had left when his attempts to western- {ze Afghanistan aroused strong op- position fell to his elder brother Inayatullah. At first it was said Amanullah had abdicated in his brother's favor, later, when there were reports that Amanullah was gathering an army about him, it was announced that he had merely placed his brother on the throne as regent, Tribes Rally Inayatullah, however, had found the throne more untenable than Amanullah and within a few days of his accession he was fleeing to India in a British airplane. In his place Bacha Sakao (the water carrier) who led a victorious rebel army mounted the throne and assumed the name of Habibullah Khan. Amanullah was reported to have held a durbar at Kandahar during which tribes of the district rallied to him. He was said to be march ing on Kabul at their head when hin consort, Souriya, gave birth to her ecighth child, a son, last week.

The manufacturing company’s pe- tition is one of more than 100 now in the hands of the board of relief for action, the aggregate amount of reduction sought being $44¢,670, the largest in many years. This is the first time a factory, has asked for an assessment lowee than has been fixed by the board, since Chairman Thomas Linder ine stalled the new appraisal system, more than 10 years ago, and is one of the few instances in the history of the city where one has been pes titioned. Mr. Corbin regards a reduction of $100,000 on the factory bulldings and lands and an equal amount og the equipment, to be proper. Gene eral depreciation in the bulldings, many of which have been in use fop many years, is the chiet reason for asking that this feature of the ase sessment be reduced, while the junking of wartime machines, equipment and stock on hand ac- counts for the application for a cut in these accounts.
