EXPECT ARREST
 OF BANKER S00N
Mexican Officials Said to be Co-Operating in Efforts
 to Find Spurgin

FL PASO, Texas, Aug. 3. - War ren c. Spurgin, missing president of the Michigan Avenue Trust company of Chicago. is in the vicinity of Chi huahua City, Mexico, according to a telegram received late today by the Fl Paso police. The telegram added the arrest of the banker was momen- tarily expected. Mexican officials, it was said, were cooperating with the American officers in the search for the missing man.
 Federal officers here, who yester- day gave out the information Spurgin had crossed the Rio Grande into Mex ico at Presidio, Texas, said they were without information conceT=.ng his movements after he left Oiinaja in a car with a Mexican chauffeur.
 In the absence of recognition of the Mexican government by the United States government, no eXuracition treaty between the two countries is in force. and the only legal method of securing Spurgin's return to the Unit ed States is for President Obregon to order his expulsion from Mexico as a pernicious foreigner. This authority is expressly vested in Jae presrcenI by the Mexican constitution and no court proceedings are necessary in obtaining the order of expulsion.

Sim Fein Said to be Willing to Accept Offers if
 Craig Gives In

LONDON, Aug. 3.-(By the Asso- ciated Press)-A Dublin dispatch to the Press Association confirms the statement made in Dublin today that the delay in the Sim Fein reply to the British government on the Irish peace proposals is due to the fact that an attempt is being made to se- cure the adhesion of Ulster to the peace plans. The dispatch expressed the belief. provided Ulster was dis posed to adopt an attitude of give and take, the Sim Fein would be willing to accept the governments proposals.
 The attitude of Premier Craig, of Ulster. says the Press Association. appears to be that he is prepared to enter the conferenc in London. but that until such a conference is ar ranged, he is not called on to partici. pate in the present deliberations. On the other hand, Eamonn de Valera is d.sinclined to summon the Dali Eli Teann until he can submit both the government's proposals and Listers attitude to it. This may entail, long delay, and his reply may be postpon- ed for a few weeks,

Secretary Mellon To Personally
 Explain Tax Reuision Plan Today

mittee held two extended sessions to- day, discussing with Dr. T. $. Adams, a treasury tax expert, the grouping of administrative features of the bill and other changes which would make for simplification in determining taxes.
 Chairman Fordney and other mem bers emphasize the magnitude of the task before them of reaching an agree ment and they say it is proposed to go very carefully into all phases of the subject.
 Apparently the members now are somewhat far apart as to the actual amount of taxes to be raised. It has been estimated that the present law will yield approximately S3,700,O00.- 900 this fiscal year, but revisions sug- gested would reduce this total. All members of the committee are not yet satisfied that this can be done with safety.

ENGLAND SHOWS. NJ DESIRE FUR. NE VI DRY LAWS
Compulsory Sobriety Termed Tyranny by Lord Birk-
 enhead, Chancellor

LONDON, Aug. 3-CBy the Asso. ciated Press)-The new licensing bill which finally passed the house of commons today after an all night sit ting and was sent to the house of lords, where it is not likely to be amended further, r@noves many re- strictionS imposed by the defense of the realm act during the war end par ually restores pre-war facilities for retailing liquor.
 One important concession which the bill makes to London night life Is that supper drinks may be ordered with food up to midnight in hotels and restaurants and up to 11:3O D. m. in licensed saloons and clubs, in stead of 10 p. m. as heretofore. The bill also permits distillers to revert to pre-war strength ot beverages.
 few changes were made by the house in the original bill including the hours of sale in the provinces, which are fixed definitely at eight, instead of maximum of eight and a minimum of seven, as originally pro- posed. Sunday opening is fixed def initely at five hours instead of a maximum of five. On Saturday eve ming public houses can be open be- tween seven and ten o'clock
 The house rejected the proposal to restore the pre-war facilities accord ed the bona fide traveller" even on Sundays. The bill, however, enabled man to purchase lquor at any time in hotel where he is residing.
 It is expected that the new law will become operative by the middle of Septembr whn London's new hours of opening will be from 11:30 a. m. to 3 D. m. and from 5:3O D. m. to Il D. m. instead as now from 12 to 2:3O and to 10 D m.
 The new government bill has kill ed the liquor popular control bill re- "entlv introduced by the Bishop of London, which proposed to establish the principle of local option and to make the people, decide by a poll whether no change. state purchase or abolition of licenses was desired, The bishops bill, of which Lord As tor was a principle backer' was neg atived in the house of lords on the eecond reading, Lord Birkenhead lord chancellor, attacked it. That sobriety that depends upon compul- sion,' he exclaimed, has not value at all, it is tyranny, and is always resented as tyranny

 to Organizations Only ASHURST FOR FARMERS Loses Fight toDefeat Amend ment to Credits Measure;
 Final Vote Is Delayed
FOR FARMERS

WASHINGTON, Aug. B. Disposi- tion of amendments to the agricul tural credits bill was begun by the senate today but vote on passage of the measure. which is framed by the administration as a substitute for the original Norris bill, went over
 Two of a score of pending amend ments were adopted. after a hard fight. One. offered by Senator Smith Democrat, South Carolina, would au- thorize loans by the war finance cor poration to associations of agricul- turIl producers, and the other, of fered by Senator Harrison, Demo- crat Mississippi, would authorize the corporation to take up $10O,000, ,000 in bonds of the federal farm loan sys- tenn.
 The British amendment was con- tested hotly. Senators Harrison and Williams, both Democrats of Missis- sippi; LaFollette. Republican, Wis consin. and Ashurst, Democrat, Ari- zona. led the opposition and fought for direct loans to individuals. The amendment was adoCted 42 to g with party lines divided.
 Senators Smith. Lenroot, Republi- can, Wisconsin; Shoot, Republican, Utah. and Simmons, Democrat, North Carolina, championed the Smith amendment. Individual loans to all farmers they declared. would 'break down the proposed legislation. Sen ator Shoot said individual loans would require the war finance corpor ation to have 250.O0O employees for investigations. Senator Ashurst said that the farmers would be "torpe- doed' and relief given mainly to banks gorged with improvident loans.'
 The Harrison amendment was adopted without a record vote or par ticular opposition.
 Senator Herrison said the farm loan board had applications for loans aggregating $150,0O0.00O and only s15- O0O.000 available for them, due to in- ability to market bonds
 Senator Norris part in initiating the legislation was praised by sever al senators.
 Senator Kenyon, Republican, Iowa, said he had started the agricultural credits legislation and worked while other senators "were pursuing the festive golf hall" Senator Ashurst also praised Senator Norris, who is

ACCUSATIONS 0F WILLIAMS ARE BRANDED FALSE Governor Harding Bushes at Witness During Exchange
 of Verbal Charges HEARING IS EXCITING Officials of System Given Permission to Answer
 Four Allegations

WASHINGTON, Aug 3, Critic ism of federal reserve system credit policies, continued today before a con- gressional commission by John Skel- ton Williams, former comptroller of the currency, aroused resentment by the systems two highest officers, Governor Harding of the reserve board, and Governor Strong, of the New York reserve bank. In one of the frequent verbal interchanges, Governor Harding charged across the committee room, swinging his fist, but was halted by struggling associates just in frcnt of his adversary, who remained cool, but was rising for the threatened encounter.
 A few minutes later, Strong, while reading to the commission report which charged Williams with false and misleading statements" was in terrupted by the former comptroller who shouted:
 That statement of yours is falsei"
 Governor Strong, however, contin- ued reading and presently referred to Williams as being jealous of his pe- logatiyes.'
 And that's a lie, too," the latter interjected.
 At this point, l request the com mittee to require the comptroller to make oath, whether he has stated the whole truth or not" Governor Strong exclaimed.
 Harding Asks Hearing
 Chairman Anderson ruled, amid the confusion, that it was mot feasible to adopt the policy at this stage of the game"
 Both federal reserve of-:cials, With aN number of associates, had sat ap- parently unmoyed during two days, along with an audience which num- bered many senators and representa- tiyes allied with the agricultural bloc" in congress, while Williams elaborated three general charges. He said first that the board had coun- tenanced undue lendings to a New York banking group during the last two years, for speculative uses. while forcing liquidation in southern and western agricultural districts, and that it had allowed extortionate in terest charges, and generally failed to ease down" imitation.
 Governor Harding today rose out Of the audience and demanded a hear ing on personal grounds to deny ale gations concerning himself, as Will Hams had made them, and presently, with Governor Strong, produced from the confidential files of reserve bank offices correspondence anG reports to combat Williams criticisms.
 To answer letters and memoran- dums read by Williams and which he said he had sent to his associates in the reserve board during 1920 and 1921, protesting tneir policy and course, Governor Harding demanded and received permission to read a let ter of response which the board made to Williams in 1921.
 'The federal reserve board feels constrained to say" the letter read,

Admiralty Secretary Says Continuation of Naval
 Program Necessary
INTEND NO CHALLENGE
Winston Churchill Says Eng land Cannot Afford to
 .Curtail Sea Power

LONLON, Aug. 3. - (By the Asso- ciated Press.) The house Of con- mons today voted in favor of the gov ernment's program to build four war ships to take the place of obsolete vessels
 Discussing the navaf estimates in the house of common today. Lieut. Col. l.. C. Amery, parliamentary sec retary of the admiralty, announced that the four replacement ships the government proposed to build would be battle cruisers of the Hood type. armed with 16-inch guns and design ed to obviate the need of larger dock yards than exist.
 COntending that there was no ele- ment of challenge. or procovation in this policy of replacing obsolete ships. he said it was simply policy circum- scribed within the naTrowest limits and postponed to the very latest date consistent with the empires safety.
 Abiding to the building programs of the United States and Japan. Col Amery argued that the admiralty by proposing completion of only these four ships by 1925, was laying itself open to the charge 6f accepting the risk that the British navy would tenn porarily be inferior instrength to the navies of other powers but the gov ernment was facing the risk to avoid any step tending to invite fresh con- petition on the eve of a disarmament conference.
 Would Have No Effect
 The object of the conference. he said was to endeavor to secure by agreement no further expansion of the navies of the three greatest naval powers but it was quite unlikely that the other powers participating would offer to scrap ships already bui or under construction. it was obvious that the building of these four ships or even twice their number could not affect the problem before the confer ence.
 His statement was followed by an animated discussion involving many references to the relative positions of Great Britain, the United States and Japan and reviving the intense inter- est taken in the proposed Washington conference.
 Winston Spencer Churchill. secre- tary for the colonies, replying for the government. made reference to the big building programs in both the United States and Japan. He con tended that there could be no conceiv- able cause for a quarrel with either country. Still, the fact remained. that if England delayed another year the construction of necessary vital units. she would have to face a position of definite and perhaps final naval in- feriority; she would sink to third nav al power, and having sunk there. might never be able to recover.
 Pleads For Britain
 We should exist as a great power in the world only on sufferance," he continued. We have never donesthat Profound peace might continue tl rule for many years but during that peace every one would know Great Britain's day was done. Everywhere it would be ,known that the essential foundation of the British empire had been erased. and that this island. de- pending for four-fifths of its good and all of it's economic wealth and being as modern state upon seaborne com
