we can wait until then" said Sher-
if Mester. 81 am going to obey the
directions of the court and serve
the warrants, however unpleasant
it may be, but it has not been nee
essary to treat the governor like an
ordinary fugitive, SO why get excit-
ed about it?"
''Is the governor coming back for
the state fair?" asked Jack Walsh,
a deputy. 'If he doesn't we had bet
ter cancel governors day and have

BANK FUNDS
TO CLEAR UP
MAIL THEFT
Foreign Deposits by
Worthington Proved
Two More Surrender.

Chicago, Aug. 4.-Surrender OF
two more of the men indicted in
connection with the alleged finan-
cal Vaccinations of John W.
Worthington, and announcement
fthat federal investigators had
learned that the principal defend
ant had sent large deposits TO
banks in Berlin, Warsaw, Posen
and several Italian cities marked
todays progress of the inquiry
which the federal men say will
clear up mail robberies totaliug
around $6,000,000.
The foreign bank deposits we're
revealed BY credit slips found in
Worthington's Office. according to
John V. Clinnin, assistant United
States district attorney. How much
they totaled or the names of the
banks were not revealed.
The men who gave themselves
were Alva Harschmann, 217 Ju-
neau street, Milwaukee, and John
E. Epps, a real estate man who
was a defendant in the recent To-
ledo mail robbery trial, but was
acquitted.
, Harschmann told Colonel CIinnin
that his only relations with Worth
ington comprised the sale of $780,
600 worth of commercial paper to
the latter.
He was arraigned before Judge
lands, pleaded not guilty and his
bond was reduced from $4,000 to
$1,000. 1t is probable that Harsch-
man will be used as a government
witness against Worthington.
Epps is said to have revealed to
the federal officials that Worthing-
ton financed the defense in the
Toledo case. Samuel E. Block, who
defended Epps. is now Worthing-
tons attorney.

At least two of those indicted in
the case which involves the alleged

berries, will be used as states wit
nesses, it is expected. These are

HARDING MUST
INTERVENE TO
PASS TAX BILL
Many Things Accun,-
uiate on Presidents
Desk.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.)

Washington, Aug. 4.-For the
first time since Inauguration, Presi-
dent Harding is away from the
White house on a long trip and
Washington is experiencing today
the full effects of the absence of
the executive. The machinery of
government is not slower, there is
no apparent diminution of energy
but it is a fact that many things
are accommodating for the president
to decide on his return.
Congress is in no happy mood
ever its enforced presence in the
national capital during the social
ed dog days" and to add to it's
normal discomfort there is not only
tariff bill to deal with but an
even more completing piece of leg
islation-a revenue bill
Broadly speaking, the differences
of opinion that are cropping up
over the tax program will continue
and already the sharp criticism di-
rected by Republican members of
congress at Secretary Melons tax
proposals are making lines of
cleavage. In the end, Mr.. Hard
ing will have to step in and force
through an administration program
or there will be no tax bill at all.
The theory that q tax measure
could be passed more rapidly than
the tariff is being disproved More
individuals are affected by the tax
proposals than by the tariff duties.
Furthermore the tariff is not as
readily grasped by the layman as
is tax program. The mention Of
ten dollars per year as a tax on
automobiles is quickly understood,
whereas a fourth of one per cent
duty on some kind of mineral
doesn't excite much interest.
Many Protests.
Already the protests over the
tax proposals made public the other
day are pouring in. This is not un-
expected. Nobody wants any in
crease of taxes on anything and
the whole country would like to see
all taxes removed if possible. The
plan to open up new sources of
taxation meets inevitable opposi-
tion from those who were not prev

varied representation and section
al interests Immediately hears from
the country and the voices of ap-
proval are never so loud as those
of disapproval.
Ultimately the executive has to
intervene President Harding is
fortunately away during the first
tempest. 1t would be to his ad-
vantage to stay away until con-
gress threshed the whole thing out
and either reached an agreement
or became so deadlocked as to re-
quire his aid.
Clouds Hover.
Meanwhile other legislative pro-
posals are held in abeyance Con-
gress moves slowly in summer time
anyway but the clouds that come
with tariff and tax discussion hover
menacingly over the heads of the
members of both the senate and
house. The chief desire of most
members is to be reelected and the
political dangers of both tariff and
tax revision are only now begin
ming to be understood as the wall
of complaint rises up from the

EXPORTS OF COPPER
MAKE GOOD SHOWING

New York Times: The export de-
mand for copper during the first
five months Of 1921 has been the
one bright spot in the industry hay-
ing been nourished and stimulated
by low quotations. credits and fl
nancial aids Occasionally the vol
ume of exports has been so heavy
that producers for a time could
almost entirely neglect the domestic
market, their share of the copper
exports under the Copper Export
association plans being sufficient to
make up for the deficiency i'm do
nestle business.
Accor ng 10 statistics compiled by
The Engineering and Mining Jour
nal, The monthly exports during the
first five months of the year were
from 50 to ~ per cent of the pre-
war rate. The three most impor-
tant purchasing countries were Eng
land France and Germany. II is
highly significant according to the
paper, that Germany has lately been
the chief support of the copper
export trade. This statement is con-
sidcrcd all The more remarkable
when il is recalled that Geramny
pays cash for copper bought in this
country, whereas France. England
and other countries have been able
to take advantage of the liberal
credit terms advanced by the Copper
Export Association.
The omission of Germany" ac-
cording 10 the journal, from the
list of countries with which credit
arrangements can he consummaled
has not had much effect on the abil-
ity of Germany To purchase all the
copper she wishes. II may be. now
