Harding Acts ToShaighten
 Difficulties

Washington, Aug. 1o-President Harding having intervened to straight en out tax revision differences be- tween leaders of the House of Rep resentat lives and treasury officers, ways and means committee Republicans to- day set to work to draft a revenue bill to yield s3,075,0O0,000 or ap- proximately $6oo,000,000 less than had been suggested by Secretary Mel lon.
 This total was agreed upon last evening at a, White House confer ence attended by the treasury secre- tary, Speaker Gillett, Representative Monden, of Wyoming, the Republican leader, Chairman F'ordney of the Ways and Means Committee and oth- CT prominent House Republicans
 At the same time decision was reached, it was stated officially to cut s520, 0,0O0,000 from estimated expen- ditures for this fiscal year. leaving the total at s4,034, ,0e0,o00 as against the treasury's estimate of s4,554.- 100000. This would be accompIish- ed, it was explained, by somewhat drastic slashes in estimates for the war, navy and agriculture depart ments, the shipping board and rail- roads and the refunding of s17G.a0O,- 900 of disbursements on account the public debt

Johnston Has Charge of West
 Wing at Jail

The behavior and general morale of John Edward Johnston, serving a year at the conty jail for complicfty in the murder less than a. year ago of George B. Nott, has been so good that Sheriff Simeon Pease has put him in charge of the west wing of the jail and the nisled youth is making good on his latest assignment, the Sheriff stated today.
 The lad has never been trouble some, though before the two trials he was naturally considerably wor- ried. Since the conclusion of the trials, the execution of E1wood B. Wade, and the sentencing to life i'm prisonmert of Ethel H. Mott for their part in the crime. he has apparently appreciated how lightly he was sen- fenced for the crime in which he was so unwittingly involved
 Since his fate was decided 1t is ev- ident he has learned his lesson The Sheriff describes him as being a model prisoner.

Registration
 For Primaries
 Much Heavier

According to the registrar of voters the registration for the primaries this year has been heavier than ever be- fore. This is, of course, due to the fact that this is the first opportunity for the women of the city to enter their names on the primary lists. In the earlier part of the week there was a majority of mems names hand ed in, but the women seem to be coming along more rapidly now, the percentage being just about even. By the end of the period for registering 1t is expected that the women will be far ahead of the men in numbers uf names filed.
 So far the greatest number of names have been sent in by district clubs of both parties. Both the Re- pu.bilcanS and the Democrats are making big efforts to have as many of the members of their party enroll so that the primaries will pick rep resentative men to run next fal..
