OF REST, RECREATION

) No formal engagements of, any char
acter are expected to be made by him
until he shall have thoroughly adjusted
himself to private life after some ten
years in public service. Even the
writing which he has planned to do
upon his retirement from the White
House will be postponed for several
months, his friends say.
He is understood to have received
a numbex of invitations to spend part
Of the summer out Of Washington, but
it is regarded as unlikely he will ac-
cept any of the invitations.
For possibly six months, his friends
believe, his life win be wholly taken
up with recreation. His chief diver
sion since his illness had been read

hausted the field of detective stories,
of which he has always been espe-
ciaIly fond, and more recently has taken
up novels and light stories. He also
has read political and historical works

Tuesday The first well to come in
was that Of the Hover Schwartz in

MIR. COOney impressed upon the
house that his committee had been in
dustriously engaged upon these bills
had conducted several hearings and
had given the bills every consideration
possible in the time they had been in
the committees hands, but stated that
much time was lost in the printing OF
the bills and that they had generally
been in the hands Of the printing com
mittee for five day periods.
Are Coming up Soon
He gave little intimation of what
the committee expected to do with the
measures, other than to get them be-
fore the house as speedily as possible.
with the exception of cement. gaso-
line and express company tax bills,
which had been reported with amend
ments a few minutes before he took
the floor
The cement production tax meas
ure, II. B. ia, which had originally
called for tax of one cent per barrel
upon cement and gypsum plaster. was
repored in favorably with the amend

cents per barrel.
The gasoline tax bill, III. B. 125. was
reported IN favorably with no change

Reduce Express Tax
The tax upon the business of ex-
press companies, as fixed at five per

the tax cut to four per cent and recon-
mended for passage.
There appears to be a minunder-
in the house as to the work

taxation" said Mr.. Cooney as he took
the floor.
"Some insidious rumors have been
going around that this committee has
been sitting on the revenue measures
which were received from the governor
and which are generally considered as
being administration matters. The
length Of time that these bills have
been out probobly lent some color to
these rumors.
Another thing that may have had
an influence in that direction is the
FACT that I, chairman of the committee
am opposed to the tax commission
