BRYCE To REACH
WASHINGTON On
FEBRUARY a

London, Jan. e.-James Bryce. the new
British ambassador 10 the United states.
has now definitely arranged TO reach
Washington on Feb. "a. thus permitting
him 10 pass a few days at the capital
before congress adjourns He has NOT
yet booked his passage, as several lines
are contending for the honor OF carry
ing the ambassador.
Mrs. Bryce is holding her closing re-
ceptions previous TO closing up her resi-
dence oR Portland place and Mr.. Bryce
is about to return here from Dublin for
the purpose OF making the usual cere-
monious visit TO the king but his confer
ence with Foreign Secretary Grey con-
cerning American questions has been de-
ferred until shortly before the ambassa-
doris sailing.
1t is expected that the cabinet appoint
ments consequent on the retirement OF
for Ireland will be announced soon. The
prevailing belief is that Mr. Blrrell. now
president OF the board OF educa ton and
the author OF the defunct educa tion BILL
will succeed Mr.. Bryce In the Irish office,
though Winston Spencer Churchill and
Sir Anthony MacDonnell each had con-
siderable number OF supporters for the
place. and some people believe that the
premier will Introduce an entirely new
figure in the cabinet
II is expected that Thomas j. Mac.
Namara. editor OF the Schoolmaster and
president of the National Union Of
Teachers will succeed Mr. Birrell and in
herit the task OF bringing i'm an accept
able education bill. Mr., MacNamara is
considered TO be radical upon the ques-
ton OF reform. which promises TO In
crease the tension between the house of
lords and the house of commons.

opments are promised as the result OF
letter written by Gov. Hughes yesterday
to state Comptroller Martin H. Gyhn
asking for the amounts paid attorneys III

heritance tax law.
There has been a combination OF New

ed also 10 the corporation tax bureau or
the comptrollers ofYice.
The fact that this rotten financial ad-
ministration of affairs has been going on
for years under Republican comptrollers
did not deter Gov. Hughes from taking
up the matter when his attention was
called TO IT,
State employees heretofore working IN
the corporation and inheritance tax bu-
reaus OF the comptroller's office after~
they have acquired valuable knowledge
regarding the workings OF the corpora
tion and inheritance tax laws and the

the taxes under these laws. and their Law
ish display and expenditures and the
generally continued rounds OF pleasurs

ject of much comment in the inner cir
cles on Capitol hill.
Gov. Hughes sent 10 Comptroller Glynn
yesterday letter which reads:
''ln order that ] may be advised Of the
precise facts as a basis for recommenda-
tions to the legislature, I should be glad

OF course, these structures do not apply
10 those lawyers who. OF their own mo-
tion. hunt up estates which are escaping
taxation. and call the state comptroller's
attention 10 them, for which they get n
percentage OF the tax collected.
