Accuses U. s. Red Cross Worker Of
 Starting Revolt
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

RIGA, Aug. 2-Prior to his de- parture for Berlin last night, Senator France of Maryland accused Dr. E. w. Ryan, American Red Cross com missioner in the Baltic states. of hay ing instigated the revolt at Kronstadt last winter. Thereupon Dr. Ryan expressed his opinion of the senator's credence in what Dr. Ryan termed bolshevik reports and of the senator's dealing with the bolsheviki.
 When questioned today concerning the incident, pr. Ryan said:
 "The charge is ridiculous. The senator must have been raving."
 American official representatives here also said today that the accusa- ton was without basis in fact
 The argument began in the saua- tors room in the hotel and continued during the trip to the railway station It was heard in part by several per sons who accompanied the senator. Mir. France is said to have declared he would renew this charge in the senate.
 It is understood Senator France in vited Dr. Ryan to his room and abruptly made his accusation and added that the bolshevik foreign of flee lad promised to furnish him proof of the charge.
 Dr. Ryan has oeen engaged in Red Cross and other re ief work in Europe since early in the war. His home is in Scranton. Pa, In 1920 he Wa s pla ccd at the head of the Red Cross commission in Esthonia After a visit to Russia he reported that the boisnevik government was "a social adventure become a ghastly failure" "

COMM TEE HAS EEWSUPP0RTERS FUR THE MELLON
 TAX PROPOSALS
Majolity Of House Ways And Means Committee Say Efforts Should Be Directed To E a s i Il g Burden
IRepubIIcan A. P. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, August 2-Sug- gestions for new taxes made by Sec retary Mellon apparently found little support today among members of the house ways and means committee. Some committeeman were outspoken while others said it was their judge ment that the committees efforts should be directed toward easing the burden.
 With this end in view, 1t was ex- plained. republican members of the committee had before them today Chairman Madden of the appropria- tions committee; Eugene Myer, Jr director of the war finance corpora tion. and director General Davis of the railroad administration.
 Chairman Fordney said that the purpose was to get information as to the financial needs of the govern ment and then to determine just where cuts could be made. He stated that MT. Myer had told the committee that under the plan submitted to con gress by President Harding, railroad financing could be taken care of without more than temporary assis- tance from the treasury from time to time until the securities proposed to be issued could be marketed.
 Should this prove the case it is said a material cut could be made in the treasury estimates of $4,675. .000, 900 needed for the government next year as that included $545, ,000 for the railroads.
 Seek Cut of Half Billion
 Chairman Fordney also explained that the new tax law would be desig- mated to run for several years and that the rates should not be fixed for yuch a length of time on conditions believed now to be only tmporary. He thought there should be immed- late reductions of a half billion in taxes even though that brought about a deficit at the end of next year. This could be wiped out he added, by re- venues after expenditures had been returned to something like normal.
 Discussing MT. Melons proposals Representative Bacharch, republican of New Jersey, declared in a state ment that he was opposed to the eli imitation of all or any part of the transportation taxes and to the pro- posed tax of s10 on all automobiles. He also declared that he was not in favor of the proposed tax on bank checks but that, of course, he did fla vor the repeal of the tax on soda water and, ice cream.
 Mir. Bacharach and other members of the committee declared 1t would be unjust to tax all automobiles the same amount and it was evident that if it was found necessary to impose a license tax on automobiles it should be graduated.
 A fight against any license tax on cars was launched today by the Am erican Automobile association. In a letter the association said the federal tax on machines and the state and p1uniciDa1 taxes Of all forms now to- tailed s346, ,720,S79 annually, or $37.6l per car.
 The new tax suggested by Mir. Mel Ion are designed. it became known to- day, to yield approximately S240,0 000- 900 of which $100 100000 would come from automobiles, s45, ,o00, 900 from the stamp tax on bank checks and about s70,000,000 from the three cent first class postage rate.

HELENA, Mont, Aug. 2.-Levying of a tax on every gallon of gasoline, a tax on every ton of coal and a tax on all automobiles coming into the state from other states was ad- vocated by Louis L.

 President Emmerson stated that it is not a question of expenditure re- duction in most states today, but of revenue increase and that indirect method of taxation is most successful
 The question of meeting with the National Association of State Audi tors and Trea surers was considered and the chair was empowered to ap- point a representative of the secre- taries' organization to attend the next meeting of the auditors and treasur- CTS and present to them the proposi- ton of a consolidation of the associa- tions.

 His performance on that occasion was gallant; he struggled through the whole first act, although time and again blood choked his voice, and every now and then he was forced to change a reddened hand kerchief for another deftly slipped to him by some member of the chorus.
 Those in the front rows soon be- came aware of the singers danger and applauded the daring fight in which time after time his golden voice rose superior to the obstacle that threatened to muffle it. It was not until the combined demands of his wife, almost frantic in the wings, and the pleas of his physician had been joined that Caruso finally con- sented to abandon the stage.

TIME TO GET BUSY.

Some criticisms are heard regard
ing congress. and not entirely from
Democratic sources. Business inter
ests are beginning to demand that
efforts be made to bring business out
OF the slump, so far as congression-
al action can do so, and not to place
tariff tinkering ahead of this.
1t is said by one observer that it
will take until fall for congress to
get through the tariff matters in
contemplation and that is too long
to wait for business aid.
Moreover, the prosperity that de-
pends on foreign trade cannot be aid
ed by a tariff. The latter can prevent
goods entering the country-to a
certain extent-but it cannot cause
American goods to be sold elsewhere;
in fact, if high American tariff pro
vokes high tariff walls in other coun
tries it would prevent American
goods from reaching foreign mar
kets. This includes South America
where American goods got a goot
foothold.
