SENATORS DENY THEY

Reports that the new District tax
bill might be held up indefinitely In

up for reconsideration on account Of
q technical error In its phraseology,
were vigorously denied by Senators
Caraway and Jones last night.
The whole purpose of the recon-
sideration 10 to make the $l.75 tax
rate applicable only to tangible per-
sonal property. In the original word
Ing Of the bill the word tangible"
was omitted. so that 1t was feared
the District assessors might be forced
to construe the bill as applying to
Intangible property also.
When these changes are made,
there will be no objection to a prompt
vote on the bill, and there Ia no pos.
sibility that q filibuster may develop
which would have the effect Of de-
laying final action. Changes in the
measure which are desired might
just as well be made. 1t Is believed,

turn Of the bill from the House, the
exact method Of procedure under the

what they have been doing with
President Harding'S Airedale: They
told all about it. soon Gen. Grant
found himself the object OF a veri-

were blooded dogs. There were
many of the best types. but still
more Of the every day breed. point
ers. NewfoundlandS. rat catchers,
and nearly everything else belong

There was no end Of ridicule, and
the party that did not elect or re-
elect Gen. Grant was really brutal
in its handling of the dog question.
Gen, Grant was pictured while in
dulginE in his morning walk as fol-
lowed by multItudes of blooded
dogs, cropped-earcd dogs. French.
English and Russian bulldogs,
bloodhounds. black and tans, white
dogs, red dogs. spotted dogs, yell

out. the spare space in his carriage
was filled by grinning, yelping,

king of Judah. When the LORD
commanded Moses to number the
children of Israel from twenty
years up that were able to 60 TO
