Buchanan's Statue
Causes Senate Row
Proposed Monument Allows
Lodge TO Denomce Zone Of
Our Weakest Presidents"

WASHINGTON, June 14.--The pro-
posal to erect monument here to for
lner President James Buchanan revived
in the Senate to-day the controversy
over Buchanan's record which recently
agitated the House. Attacks on Bu-
chnnan's administration were renewed
when Senator Smith Of Maryland asked
adoption Of the resolution finally
passed by the House authorizing the
100000 statue provided for in the will
Of Buchansn's niece, Harriet Lane
Johnson. Of Baltimore.
Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts led
the attack, deploring Buchanan's at
titude on the slavery question. He
declared Buchanan was zone Of the
weakest Of our presidents" and upon
whom rests the shadow of disloyalty."
The Massachusetts Senator said lie did
not oppose the measure because the
former President was Southerner or
in favor OF slavery, adding that he was
neither.
"If he had been either I'd have had
greater respect for him than I have
now" he added
The measure was laid aside until

u. S. M. Dissolution
Suit Rehearing Asked
Government Declares Decision
Endangers Value of Anti
Trust Law

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Rehearing
of the governments dissolution suit
against the United Shoe Machinery
Company, which the Supreme Court re-
Gently decided in favor of the company,
was asked for in petition filed by the
government to-day. Permission to file
the petition was asked on June 10, the
courts last decision day for the term.
In asking for rehearing, the gov
efnment in its petition declares that if
the courts opinion remains unaltered
it will "offer to those so disposed an
avenue Of escape from the prohibition
Of the Sherman law, which until now
has been so persistently but so vanly
sought" as we'll as to reopen the ques-
tion as to the limits of patent grants.
Referring to the courts opinion re-
lating to the tying leases" the petit
tion declares the opinion conflicts with
former decisions.
There can be no reasonable doubt
said the petition, "that in appropriate
cases, many Of which American indus
try presents, system Of trying clauses
like those here presented offers an
agency by which it is possible wholly
to eliminate competition. Nor can
there be reasonable doubt that such a
system is a violation of the Sherman
law unless affirmatively justified. The
justification here offered and accepted
by the court is that the lease clauses
are valid exercise of our rights of a
patentee. 1t is expressly stated that
it follows that the extent to which
they are pushed is therefore of no con-
sequence, and if the premise be sound
there is no escaping that conclusion"

ther Stimulus to Mari
time Industry

WASHINGTON, juno 14.--Further
stimulus for the nations shipbuilding
industry was given to-day in resolu-
ton adopted by the Shipping Board to
encourage revival Of the building of
small wooden ships. The resolution
says:
"The board will encourage the build
ing of wooden sailing vessels or motor
driven vessels, either for private Amer
ican account or foreign account, up to
1000 tons dead weight, provided such
buildings receive the approval Of the
Fleet Corporation rs manufacturing
proposition, and provided that the
transfer of the flag will be agreed to
by the board when the ship is ready
for delivery, it being understood that
the vessel will be free of requisition
during construction. Should military
necessity arise, however, the board re-
serves its right to commander all such
vessels."
The board also made public a resolu-
tlon affecting vessels still undocument-
ed under the American flag, as follows
"As to undocumented vessels which
are not otherwise within the provisions
OF the act, the board will cause bunker
licenses to be withheld unless such YES
sells are documented under the Ameri-
can flag and owned by American citi-
2ens or American corporations, the ma
1ority of whose capital stock is owned
Dy American citizens"

vocated to Raise $2,O0O,-
100000 More Revenue

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Exemption
Of pre-war profits from special taxation
and instalment plan payment Of war
profit taxes were advocated by E. l..
Howe, Of New York, secretary Of the
National Retail Drygoods Association,
at to-day's revenue bill hearing before
the House Ways and Means Committee
Frederick c. Durant. of Philadelphia,
a retired sugar refiner, urged the COM
mittee to put consumption tax OF /
per cent or more on gross sales OF
every kind, in addition to all other
taxes. He estimated that $4,000, 100000
would be brought in by such levy.
Would Tax Officials
Representative Crisp, of Georgia, a
member of the committee, gave notice
to-day that he would lead fight to
make all Federal and state officials,
except the President and members OF
the Supreme Court, subject to all pro-
visions of the new tax law.
Exemption Of American corpora
tions from excess profits tax on capi.
tai invested In foreign countries and
the imposition of only a light income
tax on foreign business were urged by
P. ]. Eder, Of New York. secretary Of
the Mercantile Bank. Mr.. Eder said

American corporations operating abroad
to relinqush American charters for
charters Of foreign countries.
The Senate Finance Committee at a
special meeting to-day decided not to
attempt suspension Of publishers Sec
ond class mail rates, which become
effective July 1.
Future Changes Likely
Although changes in the increased
rates are regarded as certain by COM
mittee members when the new revenue
bill reaches the Senate, all but Senator
Smoot Of Utah agreed that any move
to suspend the increases now would be
hopeless in view Of opposition in the
House.
To expedite consideration of the rev.
enue bill in the Senate, the Finance
Committee to-day authorized Chairman
Simmons to appoint subcommittee
to investigate new possible sources and
articles from which additional revenue
might be obtained.

Two Detectives Held
On Bribery Charge
Negro Tells Court He Was
Framed Up" Because He
Failed to Paw Bribe

Detectives Charles MCGOWAN and
William D. Safer, of the Fourth
Branch, were arraigned yesterday be-
fore Judge Mcintyre in General Ses-
sions on indictments charging them
with bribery. Gowan also is charged
with perjury. The complainant, Malcolni
Wright, negro in the Tombs awaiting
sentence for robbery, and grand lar
ceny, says his arrest and conviction
were the result of "frame-up" by Nc
Gowan and Safer because he failed to
paw all of sum Of bribe money they
demanded.
The trouble began last May, when
William Taylor, negro and friend
of Wright, was arrested for stealing
$100, $35 diamond pin and $40 gold
piece from Robert Jones, negro, in
"lemon pool" game at 324 West End
Avenue. Taylor was held in $4,000 bail
by Magistrate Blau for the grand jury.
The indictments charge that the de-
tectives went to Taylor and Wright and
proposed to save Taylor from indict-
ment by altering their testimony be-
fore the grand jury. In return they
were to get $100 and the stoln gold
coin and diamond pin. The bargain is
supposed to have been closed before
the grand jury dismissed the charge
against Taylor.
Wright alleges that he raised $50 of
the s10O from Taylor's friend and was
still owing the balance to the detectives
when he was arrested on May 8 for
robbing woman at Seventh Avenue
and West 123d Street. He was con-
victed of this crime before Judge Mott
in General Sessions, and while await
ing sentence wrote out a. statement of
the facts in the alleged bribery trans
actions and gave it to District Attorney
Swami.
The detectives were held in $1,000
bail each by Judge Mcintyre for plead
