Fourth Member of Official Family to
Quit-Must Retrieve Fortune Pres
ident Accepts Many Suggested as
Successor May Be Two Appointees
Resignation as Secretary Soon as
Possible le-First of Year for Other.
McADOO'S LETTER

Mr.. McAdoos letter of resiena-
ton, dated November IA, follows:
"Dear Mr.. President:
"Now that an armistice has been
signed and peace is assured, | feel
return, as socn as possible, to pri-
vate life.
81 have been conscious for some
time of the necessity for this step,
but, of course, could not consider
it while the country was at war.
"For almost six years ! have
worked incessantly under the press
ure of great responsibilities. Their
exactions have drawn heavily on my
strength. The inadequate compen-
sation allowed by law to cabinet Of
flcers las you know, | receive no
compensation as director general of
railroads,) and the very burdensome
cost of living in Washington have
SO depleted by personal resources
that | am obliged to reckon with the
facts of the situation.
al do not wish to convey the i'm
preston that there is any actual
impairment of my health, because
such is not the fact. As result of
long overwork, need a reasonable
period of genuine rest to repIenish
my energy. But more than this, |
must for the sake of my family, get
back to private life, to retrieve my
personal fortunes.
81 cannot secure the required rest
nor the oportunity to look after my
long neglected private affairs unless
! am relieved of my personal re-
sponsibilities.
81 am anxious to have my retire
ment effected with the least possible
Inconvenience to yourself and to the
public service, but it would, | think,
be wise to accept my resignation
now, as secretary of the treasury, to
become effective upon the appoint
ment and qualification of my sue
cessor, so that he may have the op-
portunity and advantage of partici-
patinq promptly in the formulation
of the policies that should govern
the future work of the treasury. |
would suggest that my resignation
as director general of railroads be-
come effective January 1, 1919, or
upon the appointment of my sue
cessor.
al hope you will understand, my
dear Mr.. President, that | will per-
NIT nothing but the most imperious
demands to force my withdrawal
from public life. Always shall
cherish as the greatest honor of my
career the opportunity you have so
generously given me to serve the
country under your leadership in
these epochal times.
"Affectionately yours,
"W. G. McADOO."

RYAN AND POTTER
RESIGN POSITIONS
UNDER SECY. BAKER
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-Resigna-
ton of John D. Ryan, second assistant
secretary of war and director of air
service, and Of William c. Potter, his
chief assistant, was announced today
by Secretary Baker. Both Mr.. Ryan
and Mr. Potter desire to return to their
private business as quickly as possible.
but Mr.. Baker said they had consented
to remain at their posts until the rush
of aircraft demobiliZation is over, and
later to give the department the bene
fit of their experience, whenever nee
eSsary.
After the retirement of Mr.. Ryan and
Mr. Potter, the offices which they now
hold will not be filled Immediately, if
at ALL 1t appears unnecessary to Off
cials now that new director should
be named in Mr.. Ryan's place. There
is no longer a production problem to
be handled, as the war is over and
operation is naturally a military func-
ton. 1t was said that pending reorgan-
ization of the army and the war de-
partment on a peace basis, recommen-
dations for which will be laid before
congress next month by Secretary Ba-
ker, it is not possible to arrange for
the permanent aircraft establishment
of the army.
Resigns to Attend to Business
Mr.. Ryan, who was president of the
Anaconda Copper company, was called
upon by President Wilson to take
charge of aircraft production last May,
after charges Of delay and inefficiency
in the program had been aired in the
senate. Mr.. Ryan resigned his private
connections to become chairman of the
aircraft board and director OF prodttc-
ton. Three months later he was made
second assistant secretary of war and
director of air service. ~

OIL DOCK FIRE DOES
DAMAGE OF 81, 900, 900
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

BALTIMORE, Nov. "a fire
which for time threatened the en-
tire Canton water front district of this
city, and caused loss estimated at
$1,000, 900, broke out today at the oil
loading docks of the Standard Oil
company, destroying the company's
piers, badly damaging an oil tanker
loaded with $4,000 barrels of gasoline,
and destroying three pile driving ma
chimes of the Raymond Concrete and
Pile Driving company of New York be-
fore it was controlled.
The blaze started from sparks from
one of the pile drivers, which ignited
oil on the water alongside the tanker.
Fifty men working on the dock es-
capped, as four barges loaded with lead
casks of gasoline burst into flames.
A number of these were consigned to
the American forces in France. Thir-
ty members of the tanker's crew saved
themselves by leaping into the water.

HALF BILLION FROM
WAR REVENUE BILL
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-Reduc-
tions aggregatin~ $500, 100000 in the
yield from the new war revenue bill
We're made today by the senate finance
commltte, in revising the measure
downward to the six billion dollar total
for 1919 proposed by Secretary McAdoo.
The decrease was confined principally
to the tobacco, luxuries, semi luxury
and other special and excise schedules.
Among the more importan. decision,
today We're elimination of the luxury
schedule proposed in the house bin,
levying 20 per cent on costly articles OIL
clothing and other merchandise and eA-
timated to raise S1S4,000, 900; elimina-
ton of the house tax of two cents :.
gallon on gasoline, estimated to yield
$4,000, 900; reduction from 10 to per
cent or about 5000 600 in revenue in
rates on many articles classed as semi
luxuries and reduction of about one
half in the house rates on tobacco, a
cut of about s54,0O0,0UO in revenue
Defer 1920 Tax Action
The committee deferred decision Oh
the plan, suggested by Secretary Nc
Adoo and specifically presented yester-
day by Chairman Simmons, for incor-
porating in the measure specific rates
for 1920 taxation, by which the total
revenue yield would be limited to s4,-
900, 100000. Republican members still
vigorously oppose legislation for 1920
and the committee decided to pass that
question temporarily. Tomorrow it will
resume revision of the miscellaneous
taxes, with a view to cutting off an
other $500, 900, 900 necessary to reduce
the whole to six billion dollars.
! In cutting the excise, or semi-luxury
schedules today, the committee reduced
| from 10 to 8 per cent the house rates
on the following articles:
Many Articles Reduced
Piano players, monographs, photo
graphic films, candy, portable electric
fans, thermos bottles, slot machines
and toilet soaps and powders. Tine
chewin~ gum rate was cut from 1our 60
three per cent; that on hunting anu
bowie knives from 100 to 10 per cent;
on firearms and ammunition rrom rs TO
10 per cent, and on sculpture. paintings
and Statuary from 10 to 5 per cent.
Ten per cent taxes imposed in the
house bill on bathing suits ana pnoco-
graphs or re~roductions, were entirely
eliminated and that of ten per cent on
fur and wool articles made applicable
to fur manufacturers only. In the ex-
else schedule, no change was made In
the five per cent sales tax on automo-
bile tires and accessories, nor in the
ten per cent rate on sporting SoodS ana
| livries, tapestries, textiles and yachts
and motor boats.
The ten per cent sales tax on pre-
cious stones, jewelry and limitations.
clocks, watches, opera glasses and SIM
liar articles was reduced to five per
cent.
After tentatively deciding today upon
reduction of thu theater admission
taxes. the committees finally deter
mined to leave them unchanged as al
ready reduced from the house figures.
The principal rate for such admissions
is one cent for each five cents paid. The
ten per cent tax on club dues also was
left unchanged.

LUXEMBURG. Thursday, Nov. 21-
(By The Associated Press)-Generai
Pershing entered the city of Luxem-
burg this afternoon ahead of his troops
The American commander and his starr
drove into the capital in automobiles
The general was greeted by thousands
of cheering Luxemburgers and with the
blowing of sirens and the ringing of
church and school bells.
The eighteenth infantry of the first
division were the first American troops
to enter the city.
The Americans were greeted by
thousands of civilians, who lined all the
streets through which the troops
marched. School children tossed flow
ers in their pathway, and each soldier
was presented a bouquet or chrysan-

an embankment watching them.
German general, mounted on a big

blocks distant, viewed the same move
ment The troops filed past the Ger
man commander rapidly, the men ap-
parently being in the best of humor. A
band was playing and the affair re-
sembled peace time maneuvers, rather
than the movements of war. The dis
cipline of the men was not broken
enough to interfere with the keeping up
of a military march. but it was evident
that the spirit of the Germans was far
from that which makes for war.
Make Elaborate Plans
The people of Luxemburg made
elaborate preparations to receive the
Americans. Almost every building flew
the Luxembourg flag, with here and
there an American banner, and every
once in while picture of President
Wilson could be seen, almost always
coupled with that of General Foch.
Some forty societies had made plans
to participate in the parade of the
Americans, and late Wednesday night
a band was heard in last rehearsal
of the music it expected to play today.
The keenest interst was manifested by
the civilians, who eagerly questioned
