Jonas H. Levy and Charles E. Levy,
both of New Orleans, have filed in the
Surrogates' Court notice of their in
tention to contest the will of their
brother, Ralph w. Levy, a cotton
broker. who died ON March 7, 1922, at
the Hotel Savoy. In his will, the
testator bequeathed $4,000 to Mrs.
Virginia La Mantagne, who lives at the
Hotel Astor, and also created $25o,o00
trust fund, from which she was to re-
ceive the income for life. The prin-
cipal of the trust fund, upon the death
of Mrs. La Montague, is to revert to
of Mrs. La Montague, is to revert to
Mrs Charlotte l.. Scheuer, of New Or
leans, sister of Mr.. Levy. He also
stipulated that pending the establish
ment of the trust fund Mrs. La Mon
tagne was to receive an annuity of
S12,50o.
The two brothers who are contesting
the will lare the residuary legatees, but
they allege that Ralph w. Levy, was
not of sound mind and was unduly in
Auenced when he executed the docu-
mer t.

Chief Holds His Weekly
Reception for Tamnaany
Workers, and Hearst Mem
Are There Prominently
Smiths Friends Busy, Too
Talk of Dark Horse Held
To Be Editors Threat
Ahmed at Ex-Governor

Charles r. Murphy held his weekly
reception at Tammany Hall yesterday,
gave the district leaders who called on
him an attentive ear for a brief space
and told them nothing. The Tammany
chief, according to those who talked
with him, would not discuss the Cover
norship situation, which theatens to
split the Democratic party.
Prominent Democrats declare th"t
Mr.. Murphy's chief concern is to pre-
vent the fight over the Governorship
from resulting in row which may
threaten his leadership, which many
believe he will try to pass on to his
son-in-law, Surrogate James A. Foley.
William Randolph Hearst boomers
mixed among the district leaders
boosting his stock and at the same
time hammerng away at Ex-Governor
Alfred E. Smith, who has been marked
for the AK by the itor-politician But
Al Smiths friends were not idle, for
they told the Hearst men that under
no circumstances would they stand for
Hearst, which brought the rejoinder
that Hearst would not stand for Smith.
Dark Horse Talk Aimed at Smith
Tammany Leader Murphy's silence
on the Governorship was expected, Us
some time back he announced that he
would not discuss it until the Demo
Gratis met at Syracuse on September
%. The Hearst men are most active
in talking of compromise candidates,
for they are bent on destroying Al
Smith If they cannot land the nomi-
nation for their chief. Smiths friends
declare that the trett!ng forth of the
clark horses" and the numerous COM
promise candidates is part of the plot
to kill him off.
Three compromise candidates are
being put forth by the Tammany clique
are Supreme Court Justice Robert F.
Wagner, an intimate of Tammany
leader Murphy; City Comptroller
Charles l.. Craig, former partner of
Mr.. Murphy's son-in-law, Surrogate
Foley, and District Attorney Jacob
Banton, whose political fortunes are
being largely directed by Benjamin
Schreiner, who was managing clerk of
the Foley-Craig law firm.
Hearst Still Prefers Hylan
While any one of these three would
be acceptable to Mr.. Hearst, the editor
politician would prefer to see Mayor
Hyian named above all others, if Muir
phy could not swing the convention for
him. Yesterday Mayor Hylan wrote
another of his numerous letters to Mr..
Hearst, telling him that Mr.. Hearst
was the greatest man in the country.
Said the Mayor yesterday to Mr..
Hearst:
"Your clear and decisive views on
international conditions, Allied debt,
soldier bonus, labor, trend of political
thought, etc, are q barking back to the
viewpoints of Abraham Lincoln on pub
Lie affairs"

House Flays
Tariff Report,
Rejects Bill

more, Messrs. Fordney, Longworth and
they meet the Senate conferees again.
Elimination of the dye embargo and
the duty on potash will reduce opposi-
tion to the conference report in the
Senate to those who voted against the
bill on original passage. Not a few
Senators have been preparing to go,
after the committee rough shod for
writing the dye embargo into the bill
after both House and Senate had turned
it down on direct votes.
Farm blocs of the Senate were all
set to attack the potash duty. They
had expected the Senate to insist on
it's amendment since the House had
put potash on the dutiable list with
out giving it's membership a chance to
express themselves. Failing in that
the conferces were supposed to insist
upon a vote by the House But the
Senators let the House members have
their own way.
The firmness with which the House
spanked it's conferees to-day is ex-
pectcd to have the effect of keeping
the committee within the bounds in the
future. The spanking had to be done
in the House, as the archaic rules of
the Senate would not permit action
in that body similar to that of the
House.
Democrats Attack Report
Declaring that the tariff bill as re-
ported by the Conference Committee
contains practically call the iniquitous
features that have made it so OBJ
noxious to the sense of justice and
fairness of the American people," SEN
ators Simmons and Walsh, of Massa-
chusetts, Sen:te Democratic conferees
on the bill, issued a joint statement
condemning the measure.
"No detailed statement of the bill
reported by the majority members of
the conferees on the tariff bill can
be made because we were not admitted
to the sessions of the conferences"
the statement said. "The sessions
during the last three weeks were be-
hind closed doors, only Republican
members being admitted, and hence
neither the minority nor the press were
in possession of authentic information
until the conference report and state
ment, covering 1872 pages of type, were
published and presented yesterday.

BERLIN, Sept. 1s.-The German

rates are lower than the emergency
law rates. The emergency law was
only for temporary purposes and
adopted to try TO hold up the prices
of certan agricultural products. But
the Republican party cannot shift re-
sponsibility for either the emergency
law OF the present tariff bill. The
majority party to boast that these
rates in beth are in many instances
prohibitive.
The conference report shows that
many of the rates adopted by the Re-
publican majority in tho House have
been substantially increased, notably
sugar, wool and other necessaries Of
life. The duty Of 81 cents pound on
wool as finally agreed upon removes
wool from the free list, where 1t has
been since 1918, except during recent
months, during which the emergency
law has been in operation, and fixes n
rate which is at least 30 per cent IN
crease over the Payne -Aldrich rate and
20 per cent increase over the Republi-
can House rates. This one duty alone
is sufficient to damn the bill, because
1t is certain to result In very sub
stantial increase In the cost Of cloth
ing.
Indeed, the whole bill, boldly pro-
claimed as protective measure, will
increase the profits of the certain fa-
vored producers Of the country at the
expense of the consumers, and the
limitation Of time for the exercise of
the Presidential powers, imposed by
the Senate, has been arbitrarily re-
moved, and this sweeping authority of
executive tariff making, proposed and
advocated to meet temporary emer-
gency, has been converted into perma-
nent enactment investing the President
with legislative, particularly taxation,
powers.
"The bill is unscientifcally drawn,
abandons previous Republican protec-
tive tariff principles, levies stagger-
ing tax on the consumers and fixes en-
barge rates and duties that are inde-
fensible. 1t will slacken rather than
help business and it imposes burdens
that business and individual citizens
can ill afford to bear at this time. The
country will repudiate it in the No
vember elections"

the House and Senate and which in all
probability will be passed by the pres
ent Congress contains practically all the
iniquitous features that have MADE
it so obnoxious to the sense of Justice
and fairness of the American people,
The rates, though lowered in some in
stances from the rates reported by the
Finance Committee of the Senate, are
still higher than the rates named in
the Payne-Aldrich, Ding1ey or McKir-
ley tariff laws.
Interests Called Too Strong
Efforts and protests seeking to sub
stantially lower many of the excessive
ly high rates have failed. The vigor-
Gus opposition of the minority in the
House and Senate and the press and
leading merchants of the country has
been of little avail in influencing the
majority to enact reasonable and fair
tariff legislation. TIE combinations of
interests and blocs that have log
rolled this bill Through Congress have
been too powerful. 1t is futile for tie
