Harding Agrees
With Fordney
On Tariff Plan
Program Decided On Com
templates Temporary and
Permanent Measures, With
Tax Action In Between

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.--President-
elect Harding has approved a program
Of tariff and tax legislation for the ex-
ira session of Congress comprising two
tariff bills, temporary and perma-
nent measure, with tax legislation
sandwiched between, Chairman Ford
ney of the House Ways and Means
Committee announced upon his re-
turn from conference with Mr.. Har-
ding at St. Augustine.
Mr. Fordney said his committee
would turn it's attention to the new
program as soon as the pending emer-
gency tariff measure was out of the
way. There was said to be some senti-
ment among committee members for re-
enactment of the PayneAidrich law as
a stop-gap measure, that being the
shortest possible way such a PROPOSE
ton could be handled in Congress. Mr..
Fordney was inclined TO favor such a
proceeding, although he felt that some
of the rates were not in proper reia-
tion to the present exchange situation
Program of Harmony Predicted
Many details of the program agreed
to will be worked out between Senate
and House leaders and submitted again
10 Mr.. Harding, it is understood IN
This connection, Mr.. Fordney said, "we
in Congress will never nave Mr. Har-
ding against us, becauee we will reach

Rules Einstein Estate
Must Pay Tax ON Policies
Surrogate Coha'an Sustains the
State Appraiser i'm Levy
ON $283,257

Surrogate Cohalan yesterday sus-
tanned the findings of the state trans
fer tax appraiser, holding that the es-
tate of Henry L. Einstein should pay a
tax on policies of insurance aggregat-
ing $283, ,257, which the decedent trans
ferred t. rec daVs ~. I his
in 1918. Mr.. Einstein was at one time
owner of The New York Press and was
a candidate for Mayor of New York
City.
Mr. Einstein transferred the policies
~ his life t Major Mvr9n S Fnlk a
son-inlaw. 1t was contended by the
executors of the estate that the trans
fer was not made in anticipation Of
death and therefore should not be
taxed. Counsel for the State Comp
troller, arguing III favor of taxing the
policies, said Mr. Einstein had been
before his death and had been oper-
ated on three times. He was constant
ly under the care of physicians and
nurses and knew the dangerous physi-
cal condition he was in when he made
the transfer.
The testimony showed that Mr. Elm
stein had called his son-in-law from
Washington to make the gift. Surro-
gate 'Cohalan, in his decision, said, 'Tf
no evasion Of the transfer tax had
been intended the decedent could have
made this gift to his son-in-law with
much less effort and inconvenience, by
executing codicil to his will, be-
queathing the avails of the policies to

Special Dispatch TO The Tribune
POUGHKGEPSIE. N. Y, Feb. I'll
Helen Osborne attended high school to-
day clad in the conventional skirt and
waist, a living exemplifcation of the
conviction of the educational authori-
ties that girls are girls and breeches
are breeches and that the two can be
combined with propriety only on the
back of a horse.
When Helen woke up yesterday
morning and saw drifts more than
three feet deep between her and the
high school, she put on her riding
breeches as the only method of get
ting to school without soaked and
draggled skirts.
She got there without them all right,
but she didn't stay long. When her
teacher deserted her breeches she took
a long sniff of her smelling salts and
bade Helen go home and put on the
rest Of her clothes. On her way out,
j. Schuyler Fox, principal of the high
school, caught sight of Helen and
blushingly gaxe her the same advice.
Helen wenS' home and consulted her
father. Her father agreed with her
that an insult had been offered to the
family name and the family riding
breeches and took it up at once with
Albert C. Rust, president of the Board
Of Education. Mr.. Rust firmly upheld
the teacher and the principal and de-
creed that as the high school was not
a riding school Helen must wear skirts,
however deep the snow might be.

Hays Likely To Be
AT Party's Helm
For Many Weeks
Leading Republicans Say He
Is Needed as Chairman
Till Deficit of Organiza-
ton Has Been Wiped Out

Will H. Hays, chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee, is likely
to retain the chairmanship for weeks
after he assumes his duties as Post
master General in President Farding's
Cabinet although dispatches from
Washington yesterday said that he
would retire on March 4, as soon as he
entered the Cabinet
Many leading members of the COM
lnittee have asked Chairman Hays to
take plenty of time before he resigns
the craftsmanship, arguing that his
campaign for col!ec ing the $1.0O0,000
deficit still is uncompleted, and that a
new chairman might have hard work in
taking up the duties if Mr. Hays
should step out on March 4. Mr. Hays
has told his friends that he cannot
ccnsis .ently retain the chairmanship
very long after March a.
The big items of unfinished business
before the national committee are the
uncollected deficit and the changing of
the basis of representation in the ma
rional convention. The latter ma ter
involves study of the entire situation
in the Southern states, where Repub-
licans rarely e ect a Congressman. but
from which each four years a quota Of
delegates is chosen and sent TO the
national convention.

Geddes Said to Block
Canada ON u. S. Envoy
Charges Made by Opposition
Meet Prompt Denial by Gov.
e,.nment SnokesInan

OTTAWA, Feb. 21.-Charges that the
Canadian government had decided not
to appoint a Canadian Amba ssador at
Washington, because Sir Auckland
Geddes, British Ambassador, had OBJ
jected to such an appointment. were
made by the Opposition and denied by
the Government in the House of Com
mons to-day.
Rudolphe Lemieux, former Postmas-
ter General and one of the leaders on
tie Onnosition side, made the charge
Charles j. Doherty, Minister of JUS
tice, replying on behalf of the govern
ment, said that the Canadian Ambas-
sador at Washington would be named
as soon as the government could de-
eide who was the proper man for the
office.
MIR. Lemieux refused to be CON
vinced. He asserted that the Foreign
Office never would consent to having
q Canadian diplomatic representative
at Washington. The position of such
representative would result, he said,
in endless quarrels between Canada
and Great Britain.
