FEAR OF DEFICIT SECRETARY MELLON
WOULD HOLD UP ACTION ON BONUS BILL
Not the Time to Impose New
Liabilities on Overburd-
ened Treasury.
WRITES A LETTER TO
NEW JERSEY SENATOR
In Response to Query as to FL
nancial Obligations Bill
Would Entail.
fsx The Associated Rrs.a,.

WASHINGTON, July 6-With a warn
ing that there is grave danger of an inn
mediate government deficit, Secretary
Mellon asked congress today to defer ac-
tion on the soldiers bonus bill.
This is not time to impose several
billion dollars of new liabilities on an al
ready overburdened treasury" the treas
ury secretary said to Senator Freling-
hansen, republican, New Jersey. in a let
ter which was read in the senate when
the bonus bill was called up. The bill
has already passed the house and the let
ter was in response to request from
Senator Frelinghausen for a statement of
the financial obligations which the bill
would place upon the government.
The letter was characterized by Senator
Underwood, democratic leader, who after
its reading made an attack on the bill,
as "strong, forceful, and to the point" :"
In passing the bill, the Alabama senator
said the republican majority would write
in the countrys history that men no
longer sacrifice but measure their service
in dollars" Replying briefly, Senator
McCumber, republican, North Dakota, in
charge of the bill, denied that any at
tempt was being made to measure the
service of soldiers of the world war in
dollars
Mr. Mellon estimated that the bill
would cost the country between a billion
and a half and five and a quarter billion
dollars, that it would swell the cost of
government and virtually defeat the adj
ministration's program of retrenehment
and economy" and that it would block
all refunding operations on the national
debt, and depress further the prices of
liberty bonds.
These he said, would be inevitable di
rect financial consequences" adding that
probable indirect results would be grave
danger of renewed initiation, increased
commodity prices, and unsettled business
conditions
All of his estimates, the secretary ex-
planned, were devoted to the cash pay
ment sections OF the bill. and took mo
account of expenses of administration or
possible cost of afforNing vocational
training. farm or home aid, or land settle
ment aid to veterans who elect such

Decision to allow separate consid-
Grafton of hides, dyes, and oils was not
unexpected but it was believed by
some that the lumber schedules would
be given the same status. Chairman
Fordney of the ways and means COM
mittee, however, said the proposal to
put the lumber provisions to separate
vote was beaten by nearly eight to
one.
Inclusion of cotton among the con
tested" paragraphs, however, came as
surprise to some. The motion to
open up these provisions was under
stood to have been proposed by Repre-
sentatives Pringey of Oklahoma, and
Swing. of California. 1t was said they
desired to seek rate of duty on long
staple cotton the same as under the
present emergency tariff law. It was
unlikely, it was added, that duty
would be asked for all raw cotton
which is now on the free list.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
PROTESTS AGAINST INSPECTION
OF BOOKS OF FRENCH EXPORTERS
Are Greatly Disturbed Over Feature Tariff Measure
and Declare That I'm der Condition Will
the Inspection Be Tolerated

At the office of the American COM
mercial attache it was explained that
the treasury department agents at
Paris had made five hundred investi-
cations of exporters costs of produce
tion within the past year and that adj
valorem duties collected at New York
had been based upon these reports
which consisted largely of voluntary
statements by the exporters.
The American chamber of commerce
at Paris considered the French protest
at meeting held this afternoon and
the matter was referred to the special
tax committee. The opinion was eH-
pressed, however, that the law prob
ably would have to be modified, in
asmuch as it would be virtually inn
possible to get the French exporters
to consent to inspection of their books.
1t was further stated that there was a
feeling among American business men
in France that the provision would
be found impracticable but that a
compromise might be reached by hav-
ing the French open their books to
public accountants.

Daniels, former secretary of the navy,
in an address to Greenville business
men here this afternoon.
"They would not deserve our grati-

they were afraid not to fight. 1t is
traitorous to those who died in France
for world freedom to deny them the
glory of fighting for America and
world peace"
MIR. Daniels, speaking at the cham
that 75 per cent of the conditions
which have depressed the country for
several months were due to the lack
of world craftsmanship. His talk w2s
a discussion of the present day condi-
tions. He offered solidarity and uni
ted work as a key to unlock the fu-
ture and secure the peace and pros
perity of the American nation.
Referring to the Carolinas, he said
'frhis is the chosen spot of the world
despite the low price of cotton"

restored" Mr.. Daniels said, declaring
that nothing done by private citizens
or by congress can bring full pros

products of the mill and farm.
Speaking tonight at the Baptist
summer assembly, following his re-
marks today on the association of ma
tions. Mr.. Daniels said:
Il do not know how the world asso-
citation will come or when or In what
form, but our duty to the world and
to ourselves demands that America

Every Woman Tentatively Seat

BY the Defense.
DEFENSE CLAIMS WOMAN
MENTALLY UNBALANCED
Prosecution Will Attempt to
Prove She Attempted to
Poison Husband.
(By The Associates Press,

CLEVELAND, July 6.--Twelve men
will decide whether Mrs. Eva Cath
crime Kaber is guilty of first degree
murder in connection with the fatal
stabbing of her husband, Daniel f.
Kaber, in their Lakewood home two
years ago by alleged hired assassins.
Every woman tentatively seated on
the jury was dismissed peremptorily
by Mrs Kaber's counsel.
In his opening statement to the
jury today Attorney William J. Cor
rigan, for the defense, asserted that
many of the states contentious were
true but that defense testimony would
show that Mrs. Kaber had not in
tended to murder her husband and
that her actions were the result of a
mind diseased from childhood and
even before birth and worn down by
horrible things that will reflect no
credit on the dead man." He asserted
that Mr.. Kaber's acts wore down her
mental capacity, and warned the jury
to be prepared to listen to some hoc-
rible things that would come out in
the tesHmony."
Assistant County Prosecutor James
T. Cassidy, who outlined the states
case, asserted that testimony will
show that Mrs. Kaber first attempted
to kill her husband by poisoning and
failing in this manner, hired assassins
to kill him.
The motive, he asserted, was to OBJ
tain possession of Mr.. Kaber's estate
for herself and daughter, Marion
McArdle, who also is indicted for first
degree murder, for her alleged par
ticipation in the plot to kill Mr.. Kaber
Mr.. Cassidy asserted that Mrs. Kaber
had gone to two women almost year
before his death and asked them to
do something to bring about his death,
but that both had advised her to OBJ
tain legal separation. To this sug-
gestion Mrs. Kaber was alleged to
have asserted that divorce would not

To Meet at Pavilion Hotel, Montpelier,

and President Hopkins of the college,

are but part Of the fine program ar
ranged by Judge Southgate of Wood
stock. president of the association.
1t is one of the characteristics of
the Dartmouth men that their loyalty
to the school increases as the years go
by and older graduates contribute a
large part of the enthusiasm and en-
tertainment Of these gatherings. The
meeting last year at Woodstock was
one of the largest in the history of
the association and Indications at pres
ent point to more successful meeting
this year. due partly to the central 10
cation and somewhat to the large num-
Der of Dartmouth men at present in
Montpelier in connection with the court
sessions and other official business. No
Dartmouth man can legitimately miss
this gathering and few will be guilty of
such an offence.

Everyone who visits Barre, Yer

Barre has good many Scotch citi

for this work of real art. The statue
is colossal in size and stands in the
center of a public park. 1t is of gran

sumo, by Italians, good many OF

the work is called monumental; that
is, gravestones. You may send photo
