NOLAN PATENT OFFICE
BILL GETS RIGHT OF WAY
Measure Now Before House Pro-
Ides Increases in Force
and Salaries.

The Nolan bill, favorably reported
from the patents committee of the
House several weeks ago. was today
given privileged status on the House
calendar. so that it may be called up
at the earliest possible moment for
a vote. This bill provides for increases
in the force and salaries at the patent
Office. 1t has the support of all the
principal associations of manufac-
turers throughout the country, who
have urged at hearings that the manu-
featuring industry will suffer severely
unless relief is afforded at the patent
office.
The House rules committee today or
day ordered a favorable report on the
VcStal resolution making the patent Of
flee pay bill of special privilege. Chair
man Campbell of the rules committee
said that the time of the House is taken
up so far ahead that he does not see an
opportunity for action on this bill for
about another week. The special rule
| today, however, makes it possible to call
up the patent office bill whenever an
opportunity is offered
This bill provides for an increase in
force and an increase in salary totaling
$447,74O over the appropriation for tn e
current fiscal year. 1t makes many
changes in grades of employees and
increases the salary of the commits
sioner from $1,000 to $4,000. The prin-
cipal interest of the manufacturing
companies in this bill is that it will
allow the patent office to employ a
| larger number of more efficient ex-
aminers at substantial increases in
salary.

WILL SELL WOODEN SHIPS
Ship Board Finally Decides Sale of
2S7 Useless Vessels,

has decided to dispose of the govern
ment fleet of 2s7 wooden ships, it
was stated today at the Office of
Chairman Lasker. Bids on the yes-
sells, most of which are tied up in
the James river, near Newport News,
Va, will be invited and opened July
30.
Several unsuccessful efforts were
made by the old board to sell the
wooden craft. Members of the pres
ent board believe. however. that the
ships can be used by some foreign
nations in their coastwise trade At
any rate, the board is expected to
dispose of them one way or another,
as it is held that they cannot be fit
ted into the homogeneous plan Of the
American merchant marine and the
cost of maintaining them in idleness
is heavy.

CHANGE IN TAXI RATES
ORDERED BY COMMISSION
Cuts Off 10 Cents of Second and
Succeeding Miles-Efective
August l,

The Public Utilities Commission to-
day ordered a change in the meter
rates of the Terminal Taxicab Com
pany. effective August 1. which will
reduce the charges 10 cents q mile
for the second and succeeding miles.
Present rates. which the company
had asked to have continued. are 80
cents for the first half mile and 10
cents for each additional quarter of
A mile. The commission now directs
that the charges shall be 80 cents for
the first third of a mile and 10 cents
for each additional third of a mile.
This means it will still cost 80 cents
to ride the first mile in one Of the
company's taNicabs. but. beginning
with the second mile. the cost will
be 80 instead of 40 cents per mile.
The commissions order further di-
rects there shall be a charge of 20
cents additional per trip for each of
the second and third passengers. but
that no charge shall be made for the
fourth and fifth passengers.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
CUTS down FORCE
Has Topped $427,000 Off
Yearly Pay RoIl-PIans
Further Reductions.

Effective cutting of the forces of
the Department of Justice and insist
ence of more efficient work from
those who remain was announced to-
day by Attorney General Daugherty
in connection with the efforts of the
new administration to lower the cost
Of running the governmental ma
chinery.
Between March s. when he took
charge. until today there have been
released from the department forces
forty-f1ve special assistants to the
Attorney General and seventy special
agents and Investigators. resulting in
per annum reduction in the ex-
penses of the department of approx
mately $4,000.
Lawyer Got $4,000 . Year.
Six Of the special attorneys who
were released drew salaries totaling
$4,000, the highest paid on the lis,
getting $4,000 year, according to
Mr. Daugherty.
The Attorney General said that the
cuts would be continued wherever il
was found possible to make them by
getting a little more work and d
who remain. Reductions would be
made in the clerical force wherever
it is found possible also. but he
said that he first was going to make
the cuts among those higher up and
who drew the big salaries. leaving
the little fellows, who get only small
pay, until the very last thing.
He said that in the case of the
special assistants. he found that in
some cases where three or four at
torneys were employed the work
could be done with fewer men. In
such cases cuts were made and will
continue to be made.
No Special "Grnfter STAFF"
In connection with the economy
measures. he said that the work of
forming a special staff for the pros
ecution of the So-called war grafters
had been stopped, and the staff would
be made up from those who remain
in the department.
These cuts. he pointed out, had been
made in the face of a great increase
Of the work of the Department of
Justice subject to the war. Criminal
cases. he said. also had been increased,
citing that in the latter case the num-
Der of criminal cases had grown from
LOO five years ago to $4,000 cases
pending in the courts today.

FIRST-TERMERS MEET.
Mondell Seeks to Allay Fears of
Sixty Republicans.

The question of speeding up work
in Congress and greater participation
in the activities of the House by new
members was discussed at a confer
ence last night of about sixty repre-
sentatives who are serving their first
term. The meeting was called because
Of complaints that Congress had not
accomplished what it should in the
way Of legislation and was considered
as a semi.protest on the part of the
new members both for that reason
ana for the reason that they had
not been permitted to take a greater
part in House proceedings. No action
was taken.
Representative Mondell of Wyoming.

meeting. He told them there was
no cause to be uneasy. He said he
realized there was feeling in the
country that Congress was delaying
action on important legislation, but
declared Congress had done all it
could have done-in fact, more than
any other session in the same length

CABINET APPROVES
ANGL0-JAPANP PACT,
|SL0ND0N REPORT
British Said to Have Decided
on Treaty, But With
Clauses Favoring U. S.
BY the Associat ted Press.

BY the Associated Press
LONDON, June 30.-The Pail Mall
Gazette and Globe says the British
cabinet today decided upon renewal
of the Anglo-Japanese treaty. but
that discussion is proceeding on GER
tain notifications that have been
suggested. These have special rela-
tion to the American attitude toward
the treaty and the position of India,
the newspaper adds.
If the treaty is renewed. the mill
tary clause-that which compels
Great Britain to make war upon any
country that joins any combatant
against Japan. the United States. of
course. excepted-will be stricken out.
MeiEhen Opposed.
Details of the debate in the impe-
rial conference yesterday on the ad-
visa bil!ty of renewing the treaty show
differences OF opinion among the DO
minion premierS as to the proper
course to be taken. Premier Meighen
of Canada, it is understood, talked
against the renewal of the treaty
either in its present form or with
notifications.
He argued that the Old policy of
alliances was out of tune with the
times: that alliances as a means of
! maintaining peace had proved futile
in the past. and that the time now had
come when new methods ought to be
tried for the prevention OF war.
Dealing with arnlamentS. Premier
Meighen drew d somber picture of the
possible effects of the race in arma-
The United States. To bring about
world restoration and to lift from the
shoulders of the peoples the present
terrible burden of expenditure and
taxation. he said. it was essential
that there be limitation of arma-
ments. and this, he believed. could be
accomplished by a comprehensive con-
ference of the powers Of the Pacific.
1t was not, ne declared. a question of
deserving Japan. but merely of main
tanning an old friendship for her in
such way as not TO impair the good
| relations of Great Britain with other
EationS.
Sees Restraining Hand.
Premier Hughes of Australia, who
the alliance. said he did SO on the
grounds that it had worked well. af-
forded the best means of protection
for Australia, and provided a restrain
ing hand upon Japan which was the
best guarantee of peace.
Premiers Meighen and Hughes
found themselves at such cross pur-
poses that Premier SHUTS of South
Africa. who followed Mr.. Hughes.
although leaning toward opposition
to the renewal of the alliance. adopted
a pacific attitude. He was, he de-
clared. opposed to the spirit and prin-
ciple of all special alliances and par
ticularly those of military charaC-
ter. and sincerely believed the highest
task of British craftsmanship was
that of cultivating the friendship of
the United States. Nevertheless. as
Japan had been a true ally. she
should not be lightly cast off. He
urged delay until it could be seen
whether it were not possible to Sc
cur a conference between the three
powers concerned.
Premier Massey of New Zealand
sided with Premier Hughes. desiring
the alliance renewed and arguing
that there could also be conference
of the powers later on.

TAXREV|S|ON MAY
SUPERSEDE TARIFF
Senate Likely to Keep Latter
in Committee While House
Frames Former.

A tax revision bill may come out of
the legislative hopper ahead of the
tariff bill and go to the President
for signature. ahead Of the tariff.
after all. The movement inaugu-
rated by Senator Watson of In
diana. member of the finance COM
mittee. to this end is declared, to be
meeting with increasing approval OF
members Of the finance committee and
senator's generally.
Senator Watson and other members
of the committee are receiving many
letters. together with favorable press
comment. upholdinE the suggestion.
1t is stated that the republican lead
ers of the Senate have assurances
from administration sources that such
a course. II IT can be conveniently fol-
lowed. would be agreeable to the ad-
-ministration.
Senator WatsoR-proposes that when
the tariff bill comes over from the
House and is referred to the commit
mittee on finance, it shall be given
thorough consideration. which would
probably cover the time which would
be occupied by the House in passing A
tax reform bill. The enate has had
bill came from the House. it is said.
it need not be detained in committee
very long. and could be reported to the
Senate ahead of the tariff and acted
upon first.
1t is said that important officials of
the administration as we'll as many
senator's and representatives are now
convinced that a mistake was made
in giving the tariff bill precedence
over tax revision. This impression is
declared to be based upon reports COM
ing in from the country showing that
the mass of the people are much more
concerned over revision of taxes than
changes in the tariff.
President Harding himself is thor
oughly cognizant of the state of pub
lie feeling on the subject, as reports
have reached the White House as
we'll as Congress. 1t is thought he
would approve any change in the or
der of procedure on the two bills that
the Senate might deem it wise to
make.
The carrying out of the Watson
suggestion. it is pointed out. would
depend upon how speedily the House
makes progress on the tax bill 1t is
case of first catch the hare" The
House committee has taken longer to
bring out the tariff bill than was
counted upon. and It is admitted that
the tax bill will be more difficult to
frame.
