should plan an excursion for at
least a months duration. says the

devote several days TO Yosemite
Valley and the Mariposa Grove OF
Big Trees. Then follow the Sun

Cathedral Peak to the Tuolumne
Meadows. making headquarters at
Soda Springs for two or three
weeks
From this point make separate
trips as convenient to Dog Lake
and Delaney Meadows, up Lyell
Fork to Mount Lyell. up the Tioga
Road to Mount Dana over Mono
Pass and down Bloody Canyon to
Mono Lake and return via Levin
ing Canyon, up Conness Creek to
Mount Conness and possibly as far
as Rogers Lake, down the Tuolumne
Canyon at least as far as the
Waterwheel Falls. and finally re-
turning to Yosemite Valley via the
Tioga Road and the trail leading
down by the side OF Yosemite Falls
Having made this trip once, you
will not be satisfied until you have
made IL again-and yet again-and
then you will realize that you have
seen only small portion of

Democrats Say 1t Leads
All in Rate Since
Civil War
.FORDNEY SAYS II T|SLOW
Amount to Be Raised Is
In Excess of All Ever
Proposed
Special to the News

Washington, June 30.-Sharply
conflicting views as to the tax bur-
den to be imposed on the American
people by the administrations tariff
bill were expressed today by repub-
lican and democratic leaders of the
house.
Counting the free list the average
duty rate was estimated by Chair
man Fordney, of the ways and means
committee, at between IS and 20 per
cent. compared with the 1855 Payne
Aldrich average and 6 per cent. un-
der the present Underwood measure.
Mr.. Fordney insisted however, that
the average after an accurate esti-
mate would range lower than the
Payne-Aldrich schedule.
Taking issue with the chairman,
Representative Garner, Texas, rank
ing democrat on the committee, de-
clared the rates, considering the AM
erican valuation provisions, were
higher than those in any tariff bill
passed by congress since the civil
war. Quoting statements of republi-
cans that the bill, if passed as writ
ten, would bring in about $70O,0OO,-
900 annually. Mr.. Garner charged
this meant an additional cost of at
least S2,OOO,OOO,OOO and that the
larger portion of this burden would
fall upon the actual necessities of
life"
Mr.. Fordney had announced early
in the day that he would issue a
statement showing in detail some of
the essential provisions of the bill and
clearing up many points of difference
but rush of work, he later said,
made it impossible.

Twelve Million Boxes
Shipped Into Other
States
.FREIGHTS ONLY TROUBLE
Total of Exports For
PeriShables Was
10000 Cars
(By Associated Prcss)

Tampa, June 30.-Truit and vege-
table shipments from Florida for the
season just drawing to a close to-
tailed, thus far, 10000 car loads, in
round numbers, this being only car
lot shipments of the total. The citrus
crop accounts for 33615 car loads of
which 1898 is represented by grape
fruit and 20,616 by oranges, accord
ing to the Florida Citrus Exchange.
On the basis of $50 boxes to the
car, 4,549,650 boxes of grapefruit
and 7,225,6O0 boxes of oranges, or a
total of 11,775,25O boxes of citrus
fruits, are represented in these car
lot shipments. 1t is probab at the
broken lot shipments and individual
boxes would account for at least
enough to make a totse of 100000
boxes of citrus fruit shipped out of
the state.
Makes A New Record
The statement of the Florida Citrus
Exchange that approximately 12,OOO,-
boxes of citrus frui "twere shipped
out of the state the season just clos
ing indicates a new record. The state
ment of the exchange does not tell
the average price, but it is reason
able to suppose that it equalled that
of Mst year, which was $500 per
box, and on a shipment of 100000
boxes totalled $36,880,00O for the
crop.
According to statistics in pcsses-
sion of The News the figures an
nounced by the Florida Citruf
change make a new record for the
state, as the crop of 1919-192O was
the largest ever shipped. Top prices
were received in 191S-1919 when the
average was $4.00 per box, but the
crop that year was only S,400,00U
boxes, which was ahead of all pre-
vious years, except 1914-19l5 when
the shipments totalled 9,571 ,314 boxes
but an average prive of only $1.48 per
box, yielding the growers on $14,-
1854.

PRESIDENT WANTS
Enlisted MEN To
GET SQUARE DEAL

Washington, June 3O.-President
Harding signed today the annual
army appropriation bill directing re-
duction of the regular army to 150,-
100000 men by October /, but at the
same time advised congress that, in
his opinion, further legislation might
be required to relieve the govern
ment of the embarrassment of vio-
lating its obligations to enlisted men
whose discharge the reduction will
make necessary.
Because of a provision in the bill
forbidding the war department to eX-
ceed the actual amount appropriat-
ed, the President said if the letter
of the act were followed a grave in
justice might be done in the dismis-
sal of men who enlisted under a de-
finite contract.
"The secretary of war;, said the
President in his message to congress
will seek to avoid the creation of
any deficit, but if a probable deficit
develops in a just procedure to re-
duce our enlisted forces l will re-
port to the congress at the earliest
possible day and ask it to relieve
the embarrassment of the secretary
of war"

PRESIDENT IS EXPECTED
TO sign PEACE RESOLVE
TODAY; ACCEPTS

Washington, June S0.-Presidant
Harding tomorrow is expected to re-
.ceive the compromise congressional
resolution ending the state of war
with Germany and Austria.
By vote of 263 to SO the house
today adopted the conference draft
of the resolution and it was taken
up in the senate a few hours later
in an effort to complete it's enact
ment, but went over after an hours
debate until tomorrow with favorable
action then said to be assured.
Discussion in both senate and
house centered mainly on the provi-
sions as to enemy alien property and
the controversy over ending the
state of war by declaring peace or
by repeating the war resolutinos.
Representative Flood, of Virginia,
senior democrat of the foreign affairs
committee, said the country had been
saved from humiliation by the deci-
sion to declare state of peace. SEN
ator Knox, republican, Pennsylvania,
author of the original peace measure,
said that either method would ac-
complish the desired result.

HAVANA PAPER IS
CHARGING TRUST
TO TIE Up SUGAR
La Discussion Says a
Well Defined Corner
Is In Prospect
my Associated PressD

Havana, June 30-The newspaper
La Discussion has published a charge
that "capitalistic pilot" to domi-
nate the Cuban sugar industry has
been formed and that all the Cuban
sugar centrals will be owned by for
eigners. The newspaper asserts
that "when the Cuban sugar business
is found in foreign hands, it is al
most certain that the price of sugar
will rise as if by magic and that the
business will be on an even more
stupendous scale than now.
when American capitalists began
an invasion to secure control of Gu
ban centrals," the paper continued
"they foresaw an era of prosperity
and bought, without sparing their
millions as many sugar properties as
were for sale. The price of the pro-
duct rose to 90 cents, then it was
seen that a good part of the crop re-
mained in Cuban hands and that the
Cubans aspired to obtain the highest
possible price. Then the price fell
like an avalanche from 23 to three
cents.
First bank crisis, then a cur
rency crisis. There was no money
to pay for refining, n@ody to buy
this years crop from Vie Cubans.
Our sugar men now find them
selves owing large sums of money
to the banks. They have not been
able to sell their crop. With the teri
mination of the moratorium will dis
appear the restriction against pend
ing commercial obligations. The
sugar men will have to pay or go
bankrupt. The banks are not inter
ested in holding sugar centrals.
"On the other hand, there exists
much idle foreign capital which is
anxious to make a killing. Right
now a powerful company is being
formed to acquire every central and
plantation whose owner cannot pay,
The properties secured, the debts
will be paid. So what is WORTH from
five to ten is secured for one. A
case of oportunity"

STILLMAN STILL,
BLOCKS LAWYERS
SEEKING INFORM
Gay Old Banker Refuses
to Peach on Former
Show Girl
(Ry Associated Pressl

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June 30.-Sil
more hours of cross examination
failed today to break the silence Of
James A. Stillman, wealthy New YorE
banker, on every matter having re-
ference to his relations with Florence
H. Leeds, former Broadway show
girl, named by Mrs. Ann U. Stillman
in her affirmative defense against her
husbands suit for divorce.
All day long Mr.. Stillman replied
to question after question in one set
way-"I refuse to answer on the
ground that it might tend to incrimi-
nate me-" Only on a few occasions
did Mrs. Stillmans lawyers succeed
in bringing an informative answer.
Mr.. Stillman answered their ques-
tions only when they referred to
s<fts of jewelry to his wife.
Tonight it was announced that the
cross examination of the banker has
been completed. He will return to
The itness chair tomorrow, how
ever, if his attorneys obtain Refe I
rec Gleason's permission for redirect
on subjects uncovered
aGri4g the cross examination. It was
said that Mrs. Stillman's lawyers
would complet ether case against
Mr.. Stillman tomorrow so that all
future hearings would be devoted to
her counter attack.
An indication of the nature of this
counter attack came today in the
questions which Mr.. Still
man refused to answer. These in
quiries sought to bring out that the
banker was intimate with Mrs. Leeds
in New York, Long Island, on board
his yacht, the "Modesty" and else
and that she bore him two
Jay Leeds, SO months old,
and another, who died at birth in
1919.
The defense also sought to have
the witness say that he showered
Mrs. Leeds with jewelry, bought her
fur coats, purchased an expensive
apartment for her in New York, es-
tablished two trust funds of $780,
900 each, for the former show girl,
and her son and himself objected to
going to Europe last year, and the
year before, because to do so would
have separated him from this wo-
men.

Washington, June 30.-Former
President William Howard Taft was
nominated late today by President
Harding to be chief justice of the
United States and his nomination was
confirmed by the senate in executive
session.
The nomination was not confirmed
without opposition, however, and a
roll call was demanded. The opposi-
tion was understood to have been
voiced by Senator Borah, Idaho, John
son, California, and LaFollette, Wis
consin, all republicans, who were
said to have criticised Mr.. Taft's re-
cord and his nomination.
On the roll call, however, only four
votes were cast against confirmation.
These We're by Senators Borah, John
son and LaFollette and Senator Wat
son, democrat, Georgia.
The final vote was so to 4. An
agreement was reached not to make
a public roll call.
Discussed Behind Closed Doors
The senate doors were closed for
discussion OF the nomination after
suggestions that Mr. Taft be con-
frmed "in open executive session"
because he was a former president,
and had been rejected by his oppo-
nents.
Senators Borah and johnson led the
fight on the floor in opposition to
