CLEVER FORGER IN CITY.

One af the cleverest forgers in
the history of the city is at work.
II became known yesterday. and his
few days operations have already
cost local banks several thousand
dollars.
II is said the fOrger will enter a
bank with a check drawn against a
depositor of the institution. His en-
trance is effected in such a way
as to make il appear that he has
lust left the depositOr's office. When
the paying teller asks for identifiCa-
tion the forger will give. presuIna-
bly,. the depositor's telephone num-
Der. but really the number OF his
confederate's phone. who. of course.
assures the teller that the check in
question is all right"
District detectives are hot on the
trail of the thief.

FOES Of TAX-FREE
SECURITIES HOPEFUL
Republican Leaders Predict
Favorable Action .on Part
Of House Today.
DEMOCRATS IN OPPOSITION
Proposed Amendment Would
Close Avenue of Escape
From Taxation.
DEMOCRATS IN OPPOSITION
BY Universal Service.

Passage by the House today of
the Green resolution for a constitu.
.ional amendment to end the issu.
ance of tax-fee securities was pre-.
dicted by its sponsors last night. in
spite Of unexpected opposition that
developed during the opening day of
the debate.
Four Reublicans took the floor
against the proposal yesterday. but
one Democratic speaker Joined the
ranks Of those fighting to deprive
great wealth of this convenient ave-
nue. Of escape from taxation.
CRISP JOINS FOES.
The Republicans opposing the res.
olution were Representatives Gra-
nam and Crago, of Pennsylvania.
and Bacharach and Parker, of New
Jersey. II was also claimed by the
opposition leaders that q number of
Western Republicans would vote in
the negative. The Democrat who
ook up the cause of the amendment
was Representative Crisp, Of Geor-
g1a.
A two-thirds vote is required In
each house of Congress to submit
the amendment TO the States for
ratification. The bulk Of the Demo
Gratis are opposed to II.
INDORSES AMENDMENT.
The Harding administration has
indorsed tn amendment. The Pdo-
gressive bloc also has gone on rec
ord in favor OF H. A special rule
giving the measure right Of way yes
terday was adopted by a vote Of 11S
to So. Four Democrats voted to
take up the resolution and five Re
publicans gainst its consideration.
Uncle Joe" Cannon was among the
opponents.
Stating the issue. Republican
leader Mondell told the House:
"A condition has arisen In this
country under which IL is very clear
that Federal taxation has ceased TO
be entirely fair, evenly distributed,
or equitably distributed. Congress
would be derelict in its duty il it did
not give the people an opportunity
to say whether the organic law
should be changed SO as TO permit
the development of a policy that
would remedy this condition"
Representative Green, Of Iowa,
sponsor OF the resolution. said:
I'VE have come to a parting OF the
wavs. This Congress must decide
whether our income tax system shall
be in fact a real scientific system
with some approach TO fairness. or
whether il is simply to be an engine
OF oppression among the people.
OPPOSITION STAND.
The opposing speakers, chiefly
acting Democratic Leader Garrett
Representative Garner OF Texas
acting minority leader on the Ways
and Means Committee: and Repre-
sentative Graham RD OF Pennsyl
vania. attacked the amendment al
an invasion OF State sovereignty
Garrett declared there never has
been an amendment proposed which
i'm it's fundamental aspects went sc
far as this" He charged il is dan
gerous to the liberties Of the people.
