Foydney to Close Public
Hearings Today and Be-
gin Drafting the Measure
Some Time Next Week,
LEGISLATION DRAGGED
INTO DEBATE IN HOUSE
Gardner Says the Ways and
e Means Committee viii
Make But Few ChangeSi
MondeII Disputes This,
(By The Associated Press)

Washington, July 2s.-Tax re-
vision got into house debate today
with a prediction by Representative
Garner, of Texas ranking demo-
crat on the ways and means COM
mittee, that the republican majority
of that committee would make but
changes in the revenue law, leaving
to the senate the task OF perfecting
the tax measure. Representative
Mondell, republican leader, coun-
tered with the declaration that the
house would send to the senate a
bill, "the best possible product Of
our judgment"
Specifically, Mr.. Garner said that
the house committee would provide
only for repeal of the excess prof
it's tax, reduction in the surtaxes
to a maximum of 25 to 35 per cent
and an increase in the taxes on
corporations. He said all other
taxes probably would be left as
at present
Few Changes As a "Feeler."
Supplementing his declaration,
Mr.. Garner said later that his in
formation was that the republicans
planned to offer the few changes
he had outlined as "feeler" to the
country, and that the senate finance
committee would re-draft the tax
bill in the light of the reaction
noted during the proposed recess
of congress.
Representative Mondell told the
house that what was to happen
as he understood 1t was that the
ways and means committee would
consider the question of revenue,
report a bill, which bill would be
considered in the house in such
form and manner as may be de-
termined upon after full consulta-
ton by the majority in the con-
ference"
The tax debate came between the
two committee sessions today at
which additional witnesses appear
ed asking for repeal of various
taxes Chairman Fordney plans TO
close the public hearings tomor-
row and to begin drafting the bill
after two or more days OF ex-
ecutive hearings next week.

HEARING ON THE
SHEEP DIPPING
ORDER GRANTED
Sheep Sanitary Board Is to
Consider Resembling Gen.
eraI Order at a Special
Meeting Here Saturday.

A special meeting of the New
Mexico sheep sanitary board has
been called for July 80 by Miguel
Gonzales, president of the board.
The meeting is to consider the re-
quest by the New Mexico Wool
Growers association executive
board that the general dipping
rule be suspended this year. The
meeting will be held at the office
of the board in this city at 2
o'clock.
Under normal conditions, the
wool men of the state believe in
a general dipping order, it was ex-
planned by members of the exec
utive board yesterday, but owing
to the general business depression,
the dipping this year would work
a great hardship on the growers,
many of whom cannot afford the
dipping. The fundamental reason
for the request, however, is found
in the fact that, according to the
growers, there is no need Of such
a dipping in the state this year as
there are but few cases of scabtcs
and in the greater part of the graz
ing section there are not at all.
1t is estimated that the cost OF
dipping each sheep is 5 cents,
which makes a saving to New
Mexico growers of about 100000
in case the order is suspended for
this year.
All sheep growers in the state
are urged by the association to at
tend the meeting here Saturday in
order that the complete data on
all sheep sections may be laid be-
fore the sanitary board. Growers
who cannot attend the meeting
are requested to telegraph or write
the sanitary board, stating their
opinion on the question and giving
local conditions.
Prayer Miller, president of the
wool growers association, who
was here for the special meeting
Of the executive committee, will
remain in the city to attend the
hearing, as will number of other
members of the committee who
are here from other cities and sec
lions of the state.

shipping boards representatives
into the confidence of shipping in
terests which control such awards
as that at Alexandria, and the gen.
ereal recognition of the board as
factor in shipping decisions.
Uitimatum Delivered.
Just what steps have been taken
by the board agents in Great Brit
ain dealing with the Alexandria
situation has not been made known
here, but board officials said they
had no information to bear out
press dispatches that an ultima
tum" had been delivered to the
British shipping lines. The same
dispatch mentioned a possibility
that retaliatory measures against
British ships in American ports
might be adopted should the Amer
lean protest fail, but the officials
here described these negotiations
as too delicate to permit of COM
ment now.
1t is realized here that to bar
British ships from American ports,
as the board has authority to do,
might lead to a serious internation-
al incident and the impression is
given that such recourse stands
we'll in the background even though
it never is lost sight of as a possi-
bility. The general expectation is
that few days will see apprecia-
'tion of the American attitude
abroad and a readjustment which
will be satisfa ctory.
Success Is Predicted.
Success for the boards policy IS
believed by administration officials
to presage a large increase in the
merchandise carried in American
bottoms, aiding in the task of put
ting idle shipping board ships into
service. In the case of Alexandra
the direct cotton shipments which
it is hoped to transfer from for
eign to American vessels amount
Ito something over 100000 tons an
nually.

j 6. BEGINS To
FIGURE ON DATE.
FOR CONVEN|NG
Of PEACE MEET
Washington Suggests That
Conference Begin Not
Later Than November II,
ArmiStiCe Day,
SOME OTHER POWERS
PREFER LATER DATE
Several Diplomatic Ex-
changes May Be NeCeS-
Sary Before a UNANIMOUS
Agreement Is Reached,

Washington, July 2S.-(By the
Associated Press.) - Informal ne
gotiations over the date for the dis
armament conference were begun
today with the American govern
ment suggesting selection of time
not later than Armistice day, Mo-
vember II.
Definite replies are to be re-
ceived, but unofficial information
seems to indicate that some OF the
other powers will prefer later
date and that several diplomatic
exchanges may be necessary before
a unanimous agreement is reached.
The question of meeting time
was discussed by Secretary Hughes
today with the British and Japa-
ness ambassadors and the Italian
charge here. China and France are
to be consulted in the near future,
though it is emphasized that there
will be no disposition to press for
a decision until each party to the
conference can study the situation.
The British ambassador. Sir
Auckland, is understood to have
suggested that a date later than
November IL be selected unless
preliminary conference is to be
held at which the dominion pre-
miers can be present. Such pre-
liminary meeting will be possible,
in the view of the British govern
ment, late this summer when the
premiers, now in London, are on
their way home.
No formal comment was avail
able from American officials re-
garding such a proposal or con-
cerning the statement emanating
from official circles in London to-
day that a preliminary meeting
would be held within six weeks In
Canada or in some American city
other than Washington.
The general impression here was
that this government hoped con-
fidently to overcome the British
objection without separate con-
ference.
Wants To Avoid Delay.
Japan is said to feel at a dis
advantage because of the time that
would be required for her dele
gates to reach Washington, but Of
ficials here believe she will con-
sent to the November date II the
other powers find 1t agreeable.
Among all the participating nations
there is an appreciation of the
psychological advantage of avoid
ing undue delay and it Is expected
that factor will be a conspicuous
one in the final decision,

game keepers from whom they OBJ
tanned $2,301 in coin and currency
and $3,255 in jewelry, and escaped

All of the bandits displayed pis-
tolls. They forced their victims to
line up with their faces to the wall
until they could be searched, and
them marched them into the club
bing room. where they compelled
them to lie flat on their faces un-
til the last bandit had left the
club.
A police posse took up the chase
for the bandits few moments af.
ter they had escaped.

approved with only one amend
ment, that offer by Chairman
Penrose, requiring funding to be
completed within five years.
No REGARDED Opposition.
There was no recorded opposi-
tion to the amendment but further
efforts to revise the bill were de-
feated.
In contrast to the action of the
committee, negotiations were re-
ported pending between republi-
can and democratic committee
members toward an agreement un-
der which the authority granted
the secretary of the treasury would
be restricted.
Such a change was considered
as likely to bring to the support
of the bill many senators who de-
clared their intention to oppose it
in its present form.
Prior to the committees action,
Secretary Mellon presented a
memorandum, called for by the
committee, in which he declared
that in view of the action of his
predecessors, "this government Is
committed TO the postponement of
the interest for two or three
years." and to the spreading over
subsequent years of the payment
of the postponed interest INSTALL
ments." He stated that this post
ponement is contingent, however,

SHIPPING BOARD TAKES STEPS
TO SEE THAT u. S. SHIPS GET
even BREAK IN FOREIGN PORTS
Other Nations Must Cater to Vessels Flying
the Stars and Stripes or Run the Risk of
Encountering Retaliatory Measures, Under
the New Marine Act.

Washington, July 2S (by the AS
sociated Press. )-Aggressive meas
ures have been adopted by the
shipping board to insure fair treat
ment for American merchant ships
in the award of trading privileges
in foreign ports.
Although but partially revealed
by negotiations now in progress,
the boards policy is understood to
rest on the proposition that other
nations must give every proper op-
portunity to ships which fly the
Stars and Stripes or else run the
risk of encountering retaliatory
measures placed within the pre-
rogative of the board by the new
shipping act.
Confident of Success.
There is every indication as re-
vealed by officials that the Ameri.
can government will stand behind
such a program, and every conf
dence that it will succeed. without
serious opposition in placing the
American merchant marine on
proper level in international trade.
A situation which has brought
the boards policy into prominence
exists at Alexandria, Egypt, in re-
lation to contracts for the carriage
of Egyptian cotton to the United
Kingdom and the United States.
In the view of board officials,
British shipping interests have ta-
ken an unreasonable attitude to-
ward admission of American YES
sells to that trade, and strong rep
reservations haze been made which
confidently are expected to have
the desired result.
There is no disposition here to
regard the Alexandria problem as
constituting a serious disagreement
in itself, but there is feeling that
it will set a significant precedent.
Negotiations which have led up
to it really are concerned with the
broader subject Of admission Of the

The British publishers state

that the matter involved in the
reported cancellation of invitations
was an outgrowth Of the contro-

and Lord Curzon. Soon after Pres

for a disarmament conference, the
London Times, leading paper pubs

posed the suggestion that Lore

Lord Northcliffe had gone to a To-
