IF the bill is defeated Senator
Smoot told THE New York HERALD

much better than the existing tax
law. While / shall vote for it's

Of it on the floor of the Senate.

pie want; not the bill the people
are entitled to, nor is it the bill

ed southwark today.
The effects of Office, closely guard
ed by the embassy secretaries and
accompanied personally by Sir Auck-
land Geddes, the ambassador, and his
atache. Capt. Henry, arrived here to-
day in power boat and were taken
to the railroad station preparatory
to the ambassadors departure for
Washington on the afternoon train.
With him were Lady Geddes and
other members Of the family.
Sir Auckland has made five jour-
neys to Dark Harbor since he took
the family there early in June. On
four of these occasion he was there
for a few DAYS. but in August came
for what he termed his holiday pc
Rod. and his stay was prolonged to
five weeks.
Il came primarily for recreation
and rest he said. Fishing, tennis
and sailing in Penobscot Bay have
been my staples. The amba ssador
and his wife have been regular at
tendants at the weekly dances in an
Islesboro hotel.
Affairs of moment to his nation.
and perhaps the nation to which
Great Britain sent him, We're not TO
be wholly eschewed, however. When
ever l have been at Dark Harbor,
he said. "the important questions to
be referred for decision were few in
number"
Among the distinguished visitors
entertained by Sir Auckland were
the Prince and Princess of Roumania,
who were staying at Bar Harbor.
His plans for another year are not
formulated, but a hint Of them was
contained in his parting message:
Il think Dark Harbor is one of the
hest places. if not the best place, to
spend the summer that l have ever
found. The place is charming, and
SO are the people, both visitors and
natives"

Board of Arbitration and Concilia-
ton today handed down a decision in
which it declared the 20 per cent re-
duction in wages made by the Plum
bers' Association of Portland, to be
too much. taking into consideration
the cost Of living in the city and
recommended that the former scale
be, reduced l. IL per cent, the men
to return to work under closed shop
conditions. The decision is not bind :
ing as the master plumbers were not
a party to an agreement to submit
the wage controversy to arbitration
and the decision resulted from an
appeal by the union. Following the
refusal of the union to accept the 20
per cent. cut. the employers declared
an open shop and they claim now
that they have sufficient help in the
majority of cases. -
