KNOXVILLE IS QUIET
AFTER DISORDERS

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. a.
With the vicinity of the courthouse
and Jail under heavy guard of po-
lice, deputies and national guards
men, who enforced move-on orders
vigorously, Knox ville authorities ex-
pressed confidence that there would
be no repetition Of Friday nights
disorders, when at least % persons
were wounded as defenders of the
Jail fired upon crowd advancing
upon them with the avoWed pur-
pose of demanding a negro pris-
oner held as a suspect for assault
upon a white woman. EXtraordf-
nary precautions were taken to pre-
serve order tonight as threats of
the use OF. dynamite aginst the Jail
and it's defenders in revenge for the
shooting Friday night, had been
heard frequently throughout the
day. No one tonight was permitted
to approach within a block of the
county Jail, and the courthouse
yard, where last night hundreds Of
spectators stood. and from which
came, was kept absolutely clear.
Six machine guns, manned by state
police, were placed so as to sweep
all approaches to the Jail. Infan-
trymen were held in reserve while,
a troop of cavalry galloped through
the streets at brief intervals on
practice march. Every policeman
i nthe city, including reserves. was
on duty, while all deputy sheriffs
were either at the Jail, or in the
immediate vicinity.
While thousands Of persons surg
ed through the streets tonight, and
| most of them attempted to ap-
proach the courthouse through curl
osity If for no other reason, all
were diverted without incident. A
dozen arrests weer made on charges
of disorderly conduct in the business
district.
OF the % persons known to have
been wounded last night, twenty-six
| were sent to hospitals. One of
these was discharged before morn
ing, and today two others were able
to go to their homes. Of the 23

S48,500,0O0 ASKED
FOR SHIP BOARD BY
PRESIDENT HARDING

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The
closest cooperation between con-
gress and the administration in an
effort to bring shipping board
losses down to a minimum was
urged Saturday by President Harding
in letter to Senator Jones, Repub-
lican, Washington. read to the sem
carrying s4S,500.OO0 for the boards
activities. The president said there
had been "unspeakable losses and
unutterable wastes" which must be
charged to the war emergency.
Chairman Lasker's effort to get
big men to aid in putting the board
on it's feet was approved by the
president, who said If they could
end operating losses their salaries
would be more than justified.
At the same time there was pre-
scented a letter from Chairman Las
ker saying that sooner or later con-
gress would be called upon to ap-
propriate $3O0,0O0,OO0 in outstand-
ing claims, inherited from the form
er administration.
Text Of Presidents Letter
The presidents letter giving his
views at length on the general ship
ping situation follows:
II could not fail to note the dis
satisfaction expressed in both house
and senate over the very un sat1sfac-
tory condition of the affairs of the
shipping board and the reluctance
of congress to make appropriations
for the continued activities of the
board without putting specific re-
straints upon the boards activities
in employing agents of relief.
From your position, you are
probably as familiar with the af-
fairs Of the board as 1 am and !
hope you will make it point to
lay the exact but unpleasant truth
before your colleagues.
1.-The shipping board situation is
wholly an inheritance from the prev
ious administration. 1t would avail
nothing to attempt to outline how
the intolerable estate of affairs
came about. Our great problem Is
curing the situation. The difficulty
of this task becomes very apparent
to me, and had its reflex in tie de-
lay in the final selection of the
shipping board.

Representative Crisp
Scores Fordney Tax
Bill Passed by House
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building.
BY THEODORE FILLER

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 22.-
Passage of the Fordney taxation
bill in the house late Saturday aft
ernoon, was followed by state
ment by representative Charles F.
Crisp, the Georgia member of the
ways and means committee, that the
bill was essentially one in the in
terest of the wealthy classes and
would afford little relief to the av-
erage taxpayer.
All members of the Georgia dele
cation voted against the Republican
measure. The Georgia members also
Joined in the successful fight to elm
mate the $40 tax ON the vendors of
soft drinks, concession and amend
ment which the Republicans finally
allowed. Many protests came from
Georgia and other states on this tax.
II can see little in the bill that
will aid the average taxpayer" SAID
THE fundamental provisions repeal
the excess profits taxes, paid by the
wealthy corporations, and the higher
surtaxes on incomes, also paid by
the wealthy. The income tax payer
of moderate means gets no relief, eX-
crease in exemption.
Democrats of the house and the
ways and means committee were
powerless to amend the bill. I am
glad to have been able to speak
against the tax on soft drink ven
doris, which finally went out of the
bill. I received many protests from
Georgia on this tax and members of
the Georgia delegation joined me
in opposing this on the floor.
eve are gratified that it was final
ly eliminated. On the whole, how
ever, the tax bill passed today is
one to shift tax burdens rather than
to lift them. 1t will please big bust
ness more than the average tax pay
er, and he will soon find that his bur-
dens have not been relieved to any
worthwhile extent. That the tax
alton bill will be one of the major
issues Of the next campaign I have
no doubt, because the country will
be disappointed in this Republican
measure"
