caused the death of "a persons, the

Meanwhile tonight, the army board
Of investigation called into session
today, continued its hearings behind
closed doors. None of the proceed
ings could be learned.
General Patrick expressed his
opinion on the basis of testimony he
had heard thus far. and substan-
tiated statements previously made
unofficially by survivors of the
wreck, that the elevatsng rudder, a
contriyance resembling the wings of
an airplane and attached to the
stern of the Roma, buckled and fell
forward, forcing the craft into a
nose dive, which ended when she
crashed into a high power electric
transmission line, caught fire and
burned with the greater number of
her crew and passengers pinned be-
meath.
1t was reiterated by army officers
today that there was no explosion or
fire while the Roma was in the air.
General Patrick, who came here by
airplane from washington ifnme-
diately upon being advised OF the
accident, declared there had been
none.
In this statement General Patrick

REED CONDEMNS
GEORGE HARVEY
LONDON SPEECH.

CHICAGO, Feb. ga denuncia-
ton of George Harvey. American
ambassador to the court of st.
James. in which he urged that Am
bassador Harvey be recalled and his
recent performances erased from the
recollection of man." was made by
Senator James A. Reed of Missouri
tonight in a speech before the Chi
cago council, Friends of Irish Free
dom.
America has produced two great
Georges-George Washington. the
father of his country, and George
Harvey, duly accredited ambassador
to the court of st. James," he said.
Washington was Americas great
est htriot, Harvey is England's s
greatest today. Washington ex-
pressed the soul Of America; Harvey
the spirit of sycophancy and toad
yisn.
Washington addressed his country
beneath the American flag; Harvey
spoke to an audience of ex-patriots,
toadies. tories and mobiles beneath
the union jack of Great Britain.
Washington sleeps in honor, his
memory fresher with the passing
years. Harvey ought to be recalled
from the memory OF man.
AS ! survey the field OF the pres
ent and listen to the words of an
American ambassador, in substance
demanding a union of America with
the British empire; and the contin-
ued insistence that America shall
join herself in entangling alliances
with the world; when I consider the
never ceasing agitation in favor of a
union between the United States and
the British empire. there arises be-
fore my mind the vision of other
days.
again see the lantern in the old
North church; ! hear Paul Revere's
rallying shout the British are COM
ing arousing the minute men to
arms, the sharp reports of the first
shots fired in the battle OF Freedom.
At such a time as this summon the
heroic spirits Of the revolution. Come.
Washington. and tell why you cried
to God to break the tyrant's sword.
Was it for this? That at the end of
$50 years a duly accredited envoy of
the country you established should
stand on British soil, beneath the
very flag you forced Cornwalis to
haul down and declare for a union,
the British empire.
In 1892 George Washington said.
Why forego the advantages of our
peculiar situation; why quit our own
to stand upon foreign ground? Why,
by Interviewing our destiny with
that Of any part OF Europe, entangle
our peace and prosperity in the tolls
Of European ambition, rival ship. in

"On Feb. 81. 1922. George Harvey,
speaking of the relations which he
asserted. had been recently estab-
lished between Great Britain and
America through the Washington
conference said: Not liberty alone,
not union alone. but liberty and
union, one and inseparable. was the
most striking dictum of Americas

Representative Longworth OF Ohio,
ranking member OF the special com
mittee, said 1t was his judgment that
general manufacturers and whole
salers tax similar TO that in force in
Canada would be recommended. He
thought the rates would be lower than
those in Canada as treasury experts
had estimated that the Canadian
rates. if put in force in this country,
would yield $3.50, 100000 a year. or
more than 5000. 0.000,000 in excess OF
the sum which 1t has been estimated
will be needed TO finance the cash
TO the former service men.
Mr.. Longworth said he did not
think the bonus bill would be ready
for the house this week or next.
In this connection he stated that
there was some disposition on the
part of many OF house members TO

time to await the opening of the re-
funding negotiations between the

One Of the reasons ascribed for
the large number Of ''slickS'' this

that the colts are carrying concealed
marks, placed in certain locations by
their owners, such a. small silver
coins embedded under the hide, OF
that they are identified by natural
