His words had the effect of bringing
more into unison the Communist and
Moderate elements. which had been
threatening a break.
Deputy Lazzari declared that violence
was useless; that it tore down and de-
stroyed. To adopt violence was to re-
turn to the old theory of an eye for an
eye, a tooth for a tooth. 1t was an ante
diluvian theory. unworthy OF civilized
people.

STEEL EARNINGS
HAVE FALLEN OFF
Smallest of Any Quarter Since
March, 1915, Just Prior
to War Boom.
(Ry The Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, July 26.-The United
States Steel corporation reported today
that it's earnings for the quarter ending
June 80 were $21, 1872. .O16, the smallest OF
any quarter since March, 1915. just prior
to the war boom, when they fell to $12,-
457, 500.
Regular dividends of one and three
quarters per cent on the preferred shares
and one and one-quarter per cent on the
common shares were declared, but to
meet the requirements of the common
dividend on which only thirty-five cents
was earned, it was necessary to draw
from the corporations huge undivided
surplus.
Net income for the second quarter
amounted to s1G.226.5Os against $40. CSC. .SSs
in the preceding period. This item would
have shown more drastic reduction but
for the fact that charges and allowances
for depreciation were much smaller than
in the first quarter of the year.
Chairman Elbert II. Gary issued a
statement after the meeting Of the di-
rectors in which he stated that the busi-
ness results for the quarter were not sur
prising to any one familiar with general
conditions. He added that many manu-
featuring concerns have been operating
at loss.

DUBLIN MAINTAINS
A STRICT SILENCE
Interpreted to Mean That They
Afford a Basis for Continu-
ed Negotiations.
10y the Associated Press)

LONDON. July 26.-The uncanny ST.
lence Dublin maintains relative to the
British governments proposals would
create uneasiness but for the known
fact that the Sim Fein leaders are en-
gagged in daily discussion of these pro-
posals which, as Austen Chamberlain, the
government leader, revealed in the house
of commons today, were "only outlines
and principles" This was interpreted to
mean that they afford a basis for con-
tinued negotiations.
No reply has yet been received by the
prime minister from Mr.. DeValera. Ac-
cording to reports current in Dublin,
what is called the rock of Ulster is
the great obstacle which must be taken
into consideration. 1t is clear from the
statements Of Lord Birkenhead, lord high
chancellor in the house of lords, and Mr..
Chamberlain in the commons today, that
the government has not lost hope of a
settlement.
The former announced that the goy-
ernment was hopeful it would be able to
make a statement at an early cate; Mr..
Chamberlain went further, clear,y indi-
eating that the government expected a

DEMOCRATS BLOCK
SALARY OF BROWN
Was a Member of a Joint Con-
gressional Committee on
Reorganization.
tny The Associated Press.1

WASHINGTON, July 26.-After an
all-day fight, running from noon until
6:15 p. M, the house was prevented by
democrats from passing a resolution
TO pay the salary of Walter f. Brown,
of Toledo o., named by President
Harding as a member of the joint con-
gressional committee on reorganiza-
tion of government departments from
the house contingent funds.
Finding itself without a quorum to-
ward the end. Speaker Gillett ordered
the sergeant at arms to go out and
arrest absent members, and after half
an hours wait, during which no busi-
ness could be transacted, eight men
appeared. A democrat, Flood, Of Vir-
ginia, the last man in, made the count
216.
This gave the republicans the con-
trolling hand, for the quorum made le-
gal the vote to put the resolution be-
fore the house the first thing tomor-
row for final passage.
About a dozen roll calls were forced
by Representatives Garrett, of Tennes-
see, the democratic leader, who an
nounced when the resolution was first
presente dthat it would be opposed on
the ground that democrats believed the
president should not have gone out of
congress to find a personal represen-
tative on the committee.

While the Buildings Will Be Sal.

tain the Land.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Reductlon or
the United States army to a peace time
strength of 10000 men win be accom-
plished by July 81, in accordance with the
decision of congress when it refused to
appropriate funds for pay of a greater
force after October l. With the reduc-
tion, Secretary Weeks announced today,
there would be a general redistribution of
troops, practical abandonment of seven
of the great war time army cantonments,
placement of many organizations in in
active list and skeletonization of others
into materially reduced strength.
The cantonments to be abandoned "at
the earliest practicable date" as an
nounced by Secretary Weeks are Camp
Denvens, Mass; Sherman, Ohio; Pike.
Ark; Grant, ILL.,; Jackson, S. c.; Meade,
Nd, except for q small detachment, and
Bragg, n. C. Those to be retained under
the plans of reorganization are Dix,
Travers, Tex, Lewis, Wash. land Knox,
Ky.
The war secretary said it was his plan
eventually to remove all troops from the
cantonments to be vacated and to salvage
the greater part of the buildings. It was
not his purpose, he said, to sell the land,
but to retain it as well as the utilities and
improvements such as storehouses, water
systems, railroad tracks. He said these
would be used if future appropriations
permitted an expansion of the citizens
military training camps.
There was considerable surprise among
army officers when it was found that the
enlisted strength would be reduced to
the i50,000 mark by July 81. Only a few
had believed it possible that the men
would resign under Secretary Weeks or
der in numbers sufficiently large to eff
feet the reduction from appr oyimaLely
220,0 men in June to the smaller figure
before winter. Secretary Weeks recently
instructed corps area and divisional COM
manders to permit the men within the
continental boundaries to resign during
July upon application without forfeiting
travel pay to their homes or the $50 bonu9
which they received ordinarily when their
enlistments expired. The designations
literally poured in and caused the sec
retary to revoke his order before the
month was ended. Mr.. Weeks said today
that the applications already received
would bring the enlisted strength to the
150, 900 mark by July 81, it requiring that
period of time for the existing machinery
to care for the paper work involved in
the discharge of SO many men.

REORGANIZATION OF
FEDERAL JUDICIARY
Planned for Growing Business
Needs of Country and to
Clear Up Liquor Cases.
lsy Tne Associated Prsss.l

WASHINGTON, July ga COM
prehensive plan for the reorganization
of the federal judiciary to meet the
growing business needs of the county
and clean up congestion of liquor
cases, probably will be presented to
President Harding for transmission to
congress within the next few days At
torney General Daugherty said to-
night.
Details of the plan would be with
held temporarily, Mr.. Daugherty said
as it involved some of the duties of
the chief justice and had been sent
to Mr. Taft at Montreal for his ap-
Droval before submission to the presi-
dent.
The creation of additional judges is
contemplated but not as many at this
time as had been originally considered
in order to keep the expense as small
as possible, Mr. Daugherty said.
One of the important proposals said
to have been considered by the COM
mittee was legislation giving the JUS
tice department authority to request
the assignment of a judge from one
district where the court calendar was
light to another district for temporary
service to help clean up a heavy
docket.

ALLEGED OWNER
BURNED VESSEL
IS UNDER BOND
Jack O'Leary Makes Bond for
$500 for Preliminary Hear
ing Before Commissioner

Jack O'Leary, alias Albert Edding-
ton, alleged owner of the auxiliary
schooner Viola, which went ashore and
was burned on the beach about 90
miles west of st. Andrews bay, July
81, after landing A Cinnamon, is at
liberty today under $2,500 bond for his
appearance at a preliminary hearing
before U. S. Commissioner A. w. Da-
Wis on a charge of violating the So
called exclusion act. Warrants have
been issued for Captain Heinrich
Wentzel, master of the schooner, and
Ching Wah Wee, alias Chester Wing,
alias Chester Wah, who are in jail at
DeFuniak, charging them with the
same offense.
Warrants for the men were issued
by Commissioner Davis on representa-
tions from Assistant District Attorney
Hoffman for the department of jus
tice, and were served by CuyIer Nc
MILAN, of the marshaPs office. The
case technically comes under the bu-
reau of immigration, of which Robert
J. Leary is local inspector. Mr.. Leary
went to DeFuniak Monday night and
there received a confession from Capt.
Wentsel, and it is understood that the
warrants were based on the informa-
ton contained in this confession.
Mr.. OLeary declined to talk about
the case last night, saying that he
would be able to explain his connec-
tion with the activities of the Viola
when his case was called in the fed
eral court. Wentsel and Ching Wah
will be brought to Pensacola this
morning.

Claim That Such a Tax Would

(sy The Associated Press. ,

WASHINGTON, July 26.-The sales
tax as a method of raising any part
of the $4,000. 600, 900 of revenue needed
by the federal government next year
is opposed by members Of the house
ways and means committee, Chairman
Fordney said today at the opening oz
tax revision hearings. Only four days
have been set aside for the hearings
and Mr.. Fordney suggested that wit
nesses refrain from consuming time in
discussing such tax
Imposition of a purchase tax, repeal
of the excise taxes on candy and bot
tied soft drinks and amendment Of
the estate tax provision were among
suggestions made to the committee By
witnesses. In addition the chamber Of
commerce of the United States, in a
communication urged a general turn
over tax on all business transactions
as part Of general tax program ad-
vanced by it as the result of a final
referendum vote among the CONNER
cial and Industrial organizations with
in its membership.
Other recommendations of the cham
ber of commerce were repeal Of ex-

both those on transportation and ccm-
munication and those levied in reia-
ton to particular businesses. In the
place of these taxes, tax on all turn
overs was urged
A tax on personal expenditures was
urged by Representative Mills repub-
lican. New York. He told the com
mittee that such a tax would encour-
age thrift and penalize extravaganza.
A somewhat similar proposal was pre-
sented by c. p. Landreth. a Philadel-
phia manufacturer, and r p. Miller,
manufacturer Of Downingtown, Pa.
They suggested a tax on all purchases
by individuals, partnerships and cor
porations and estimated on the basis
of current bank clearances that this
tax would yield approximately four
and half billion dollars annually
Amendment of the estate tax pro-
vision Of the revenue law so an estate
would not be required to pay more
than one tax in five years was urged
by u. c. DeFord, a lawyer of Youngs-
town, Ohio. The witness cited an in
stance where through the death OF
husband and his widow within a pe-
riod of nine days the same estate had
been taxed twice within that time.
