It was asserted by those friendly to the proposal that sooner or later sentiment for a “revenue first" pol- icy will crystalize in sudden and vio- lent reaction, which will leave the Fordney tariff bill high and dry for the extra session of Congress, “In my judgment ,the tariff bill will never be discussed by the Senate during this season,” Senator Edge of New Jersey declared. As one of the leaders of a group of Senators who have consistently demanded that rev- enue readjustment precede tariff tinkering, and who have now seen President Harding return to thw viewpoint after agreeing eariler to the Fordney “tariff first” programme, Senator Edge cieariy showed his sat- isfaction with the way things are SOLDIERS’ BONUS "BILL TO BE VOTED | ting Defeat, Want Record ) on Recommitment.

This would bring the subject before the Senate and open the way to general debate on revenue revision. “That, or some other method, will be followed whe, the ime comes. It is possible, of course, that the House will get the revenue bill over to the Senate sooner than anticipated, in which event I believe the tariff would be dropped at once and a new tax bill reported by the Finance Committee.” Senator Watson of Indiana, a mem- ber of the Finance Committee and a, the movement. Penrose himself, as Chairman of the committee, is rep- resented as acquiescing in the plan, but refusing to assume the responsi- bility for putting it into effect. This attitude is teadily understood by col- leagues, who recall that he returned to Washington after a year's absence determined to revise taxes before anything else, that he tried to per- suade Congress to take up the tax measure before the permanent tariff, and that each time he was reversed by the insistence of the so-called “afragarian bloc” in the Senate and House, supported by President Harding, on a high tariff revision. FEAR EFFECTS OF BILL ON THEIR FUTURES. Many of these sama Senators, who formerly looked to the tariff as the guide to Republican salvation, are now convinced that It could easily lead them to other than the promised land. They have gradually reached icism of the Fordney bill, but more particularly because no one has been able to say exactly what the measure will do in actual practice. Opinions expressed by competent economists and experts have raised doubts In Senatorial minds as to the effect of the Fordney bill on foreign trade, the effect of any prohibitive tariff policy on the collection of America’s foreign loans, its general effect on business and industry, and its value to the country as a whole in view of the unsettlement of cred- jit, exchange and kindred problems arising from the war. Then there |s the always present fear that a hich tariff law would in crease the cost of living in the face of a deflation in the labor market with consequent idleness in industry, imposing a double hardship on mil- lions of people dependent on a daily or weekly wage for their existence. Between this haunting fear and the other economic considerations, the tariff has grown Increasingly unpop- ular with conservatives in Congress, both as a party policy and an imme- diate issue.

REPLACE EXCESS PROF TAX (Continued From First Page.) e of a few relatives and cause it will net be 6o difficult to col- lect and will not be paid several times as goods pass from producer to consumer, The exact form of this production tax has not yet been de- termined, but the idea appears to be to impose the tax on the output of commodities very much as the pres- nt tax on automobiles is covered. In such cases, of course, the manu- facturer will pass on the payment of the tax to the consumer, as happens with automobiles, but in the sales tax proposal the chances were that more than one tax would be imposed on the ame article it passed to various stages. The progress of the tax programme is expected to be more rapkl after the House finishes with the Permanent ‘Tariff Bill. Indeed, it is the Adminis- tration’s plan to have the Senate sidetrack the Tariff Bill, when it gets to the Senate; by having lengthy com- mittee hearings. The Revenue Bill agreed upon by Republican leaders will also be intro- dueed in the Senate and referred to committee while it is being discussed in the House, It will mean that the Tax Bill will come out of the Senate Finance Committee ahead of the ‘Tarifé and probably will be passed be- fore the Tariff Bill is debated, The hope now is that both the Tax and the Tariff Bills will be out of the way by Oct. 1, es | “DRUNK!” HIS PLEA FOR THEFT; IT DOESN’T GO.

Lahey following his investigation of the statement that a fund was taken to Albany to promote the bill cre- ating a separate detective division in the Police Department. No charges were preferred against the trio. The detectives demoted were Ser. geants Thomas J. Conkling, who was ordered to the Beach Street station; Bernard Devanney, sent to Poplar Street, Brooklyn, and Thomas Finn, detailed to Charles Street. By the reduction in rank, the pay of Conk- jing and Devanney is automatically reduced from $3,300 to $2,280. Finn's pay is not affected. Inspector Lahey’s investigation was conducted at the request of the De- tectives’ Endowment Association, which objected to the statement of Commissioner of Accounts Hirshfield that the organization operated a “slush fund” in Albany several months ago to pass legislation favor- able to it. The bill mentioned by Hirshfield gave all detectives, after five years’ service, annual pay of $2,280 and permanent rank. it was claimed by the association that three detective sergeants, on their oWn initiative, objected to a re- duction of their salaries. Conkling, Devanney and Finn, it was said, col- jected unofficially a sum of money and went to Albany on thelr vacu- tions, and there engineered a bill making it possible for all detectives to receive $3,300, with permanent rank, or more than in the first bid. This second bill was not sanctioned by the association, nor, according to information, by the officials of the Police Department. into uni- Testimony made public to-day by Commissioner Hirshfield indicated that the money raised and taken to Albany by advocates of the bill creat- ing the detective division was $10,008, of which $6,0000 was in cash, the balance being a certified check. A lobbyist got the fund, it was said, and he guaranteed to get the bill through or return the money. Acting Detective Sergi. Thomas J. Finn of the West 68th Street Station testified thot on April 4 last ‘he was present at a conference in the sta- tion when negotiations for the loan of the mon.y were consummated. Others present were Charles 8. 8 well, a merchandise b roker, of No. 10 West 70th Street and No. Fifth Avenue; Detective Burns sident of the Detectives’ Assoc De- vanney and Conkling. Before this conference, according to Finn's tes timony; he was asked by Devanney to go to Shotwell to ask if he would lend Conkling, Devanney or the as- sociation $10,000. Devanney told Finn, the latter stated, that there was a lobbyist at Albany of the name of Kliest, who would under- take getting the bill through. ‘Finn id Ghotwell gave them a check for “It was explained to Shotwell thut the money was to go into a bank in a joint account with either Conkling’s or Devanney’s name on it, and Klies‘’s, so that neither one of the two parties could draw it out until the bill became a law," Finn said Shotwell advanced the money on the promissory note of Conkling, se- cured by notes of three business men. The check was cashed by a west side restaurateur. A week later, Diedrich Niemeyer, a grocer, gave his certified chek for $4,000 to Dtective Finn, who later returned it, the testimony shows. —_— FIND FARMERS NEED CHEAPER FREIGHTS Joint Congress Committee on Agriculture Announces “Un- official Conclusion.” WASHINGTON, July M4.—An “un- ofMctal conclusion" that freight rates must be reduced in the near future has been reached by the Joint Senate and ‘House Committee — investigating agrioultural conditions, Chairmar.

Jobn F. Brennan, chief counsel for Mrs. Suliman, here interrupted to make objection. He contended that, inasmuch as Mr. Stillman does not admit adultery, the evidence pre- sented is not necessarily sufficient if the case goes to higher courts, “The defense,” he said, “should be permitted to try its case In its own way.” John FE. Mack, special guardian for Guy Stillman, added his objection that in view of “the alleged con- spiracy between James A. Stillman and Florence H. Leeds,” it would be unfair for the referee to deprive Guy Stillman of whatever advantage he might obtain from further evidence. “The guardian should be allowed to prove to the utmost detail the inti- macy between Mr, Stillman and Florence H.
