 The congressional commission was ap- pointed to inquire into the agricultural situation and summoned Mir Williams in connection with it's investigation into credt facilities for farmers
 Many of MT. Williams assertions were challenged in cross examination by Rep resentatives Ogden Mills, republican, New York. a commission member, who was armed with volumes of statistics.

AMERICAN VALUATION
 IN FoRDNEY TARIFF BILL

Washington. Aug. 2-The senate fn- ace committee practically completed it's hearings today on American valuation provisions in the Fordney tariff bill pre- paratory to determining later in the week whether they shall be retained as the basis of assessing duties. Three wit nesses remain to be heard tomorrow, after which the dye embargo section which was stricken out by the house. will be taken up for brief testimony. Its fate also will be determined in the se- ries of legislative meetings which will begin Thursday
 Chairman Penrose announced that democratic as we'll as republican commit tee members would participate in the legislative considerations of the sub ject. Calling in tthe minority members parks a departure from the usual meth od of disposing of such problems by the majority party and from the course fol- lowed by the house ways and means con- mittee in drafting the present bill.
 As a result of the change in procedure. many senators declared the American valuation section as drafted by the house had small change of receiving commit tee approval. It was said that none of the democratic committee members favor ed it and that several republicans would oppose A. Sertiment has beek evil dent Tn the committee for acceptance of the modified home value plan proposed by George c. Davis, of the New York customs house.
 This would place the burden of proving that imports were comparable or com l petitive with American products on the domestic manufacturer instead of the GUS eoms service. The home value basis, Il | is claimed, would be installed only ir | cases where proof was forthcoming of the similarity of the articles, in which even it's proponents believe there would bt little room for litigation over custom: | decisions as to values.

Charge Against
 Red Cross Officer
Senator France Accuses Dr. Edward w. Ryan of Having Instigated a Revolt in Kron- stadt-Mutiny in 1921.

Riga, Aug 2. (By the A. P)-Before leaving for Berlin last night, Senator Jo- seph I.\ France of Maryland accused Dr.. Edward W. Ryan, American Red Cross commissioner in the Baltic states, of having instigated the revolt at Kronstadt last winter. Dr. Ryan expressed his opinion of the senator's credence in what Dr. Ryan termed bolsheviki reports and of the senator's dealing with the bolshe- wiki in general.
 When questioned today concerning the incident, Dr. Ryan said: "The charge is ridiculous, the senator must have been raving"
 American official representatives here also said today that the accusation was absolutely without basis in fact.
 The argument began in the senators room in the hotel here and continued during the trip to the railway station where Senator France was to take the train for Berlin. It was heard in part by number of persons who accomp. anied the senator to the station. MT France is said to have declared that be would renew this charge on the fool of the United States senate. It is understood tbat Senator France invited Dr. Ryan to his room and abrupt ly made his accusation and added tha the bolsheviki foreign office had promised to furnish him proof of the charge. Dr. Ryan has been engaged in Ret | Cross and other relief work in variou l parts of Europe since early in the war l His home is Scranton, Pa.
 He fought the typhus in Serbia an, also did notable relief work for the Re, Cross during the great fire in Salonica | In 1919 he was made executive offi2e in relief work in Austria by Herber Hoover. and in 1920 was placed at tn head of the Red Cross commission in Els thonia. After a visit to Russia he re ported that the bolsheyGki governmen was "a social adventure had become 1 ghastly failure"
 The mutiny in Kronstradt began earl
 in February, 1921, when soviet sailor inthe Baltic revolted and seized the city
 which was held for about fifteenl days when it was surrendered to the sovie forces. All officers and civilian leader
 in the revolt who were captured wer
 executed.

 GRADES OF STEEL PRODUCTS

New York, Aug. 2,-Elbert H. Gary. chairman of the United States Steel Corporation, today confirmed reports that subsidiary companies of the cor poration had cut prices on certain grades of steel products to meet prices quoted by leading independent manu- lecturers. Reductions under the new schedule range from s to $10 ton be- 10 wthe schedule announced July ', he said
 Our subsidiaries" he said, have not made any reduction except to meet the prices of leading independent manufac- turers. Prices generally would seem to have reached the low point, as many, if not most of the manufacturers, are at present selling below the cost of pro- duction."
 It was pointed out that the corpora tion was underselling independent com panies in tinplate, the quotation being s5.25 a 100 pound box against s5,50 charged by the independents The July ' price was S5.75. Other articles that were reduced in- ! cluded: bars $1.75 reduced from $1so; plates, formerly s2 and now $1.s5; gal vanized sheets, reduced from s4.5o to $4,25 and block sheets that formerly sold for S6.75 were cut to S5.25.

New York, Aug. 2.-Federal officials claimed tonight to have evidence of a rum-running conspiracy involving prom inent persons in va ious cities along the Atlantic seaboard which would go far toward clearing up the mystery of phan- tom ships for several months reported boobing up outside the three-mile limit.
 This claim was made after the liquor laden schooner Henry L. Marshall had been seized off Atlantic City and brought into this port with four of her crew by the coast guard cutter Seneca. Her captain and mate escaped in a swift motorboat
 Federal agents declined to reveal the nature of the evidence at their com mand, but intimated that more than one vessel was engaged in landing liquor along tile coast from Maine to Florida Firm belief was expressed that these were the lightless crafts which marin. CTS had declared on reaching port had been sighied at sea but had refused tc answer signals.
 No specific complaint thus far has been lodged against the schooner Mar. shall. which with her cargo of more thar 1,5OO cases of liquor is being held by armed guards pending further investi

MELONS TAX SUGGESTIONS
 NOT RECEIVED FAYoRABLY

Washington, Aug. Suggestions for new taxes made by Treasury Secretary Mellon apparently found little support today among members of the house ways and means committee. Some committee men were plainly outspoken, while others, without entering into the arguments ad- vanced for or against the proposals, said it was their judgment that the commit tees efforts should be directed toward easing the existing burden.
 With this end in view, it was explain ed that the republican members of the committee had before them today Chair man Madden of the appropriations com mittee; Es.Rene Meyer, Jr., director of the war finance corporation, and Direc- tor General Davis, of the railroad admin istration. Mir. Meyer and NIT. Davis were called in to discuss railroad fnanc- ing and the chairman of the interstate commerce commission probably will be questioned later on the same subject 1 Discussing Mir. Mellon's proposals in de- ] tail. Representative Bachrach. republi- can. New Jersey declared that he was 1 opposed to the elimination of all or any part of the transportation taxes and to 1 the proposed s10 tax on all automobiles. He also asserted that he was not in fav- or of the proposed tax on bank checks but that he did f>vor the repeal of the tax on soda water and ice cream.
 A fight against any license tax on cars was launched today by the American Au- tomobile Association. In a letter already | transmitted to Chairman Fordney, the association said the federal sale tax OF machine and the state and municipal txes of Il forms now totalled sS4s72o.S7s an- nually. or s5467 per car, and that any increase would add to the already sx. cessive burden charged against the au- tcmobile user"
 The new taxes suggested by Mir. Mel.
 len are designed. it became known today,
 to yield total of approximately S24o.-
 OOO,O00. of which s1o0. 900. 900 would
 come from automobiles, s45 900 900 from
 the stamp tax on bank checks and about
 S7O.O00,000 from the three cent first
 class postage rates. Mir. Melons memo randum as presented to the committee still was withhed today pending some slight revisions by treasury experts. It
 may be made public tomorrow
