Kid Gleason as Golfer

The recent enthusiasm for golf
that has cropped up among ball
players, reminds ono of Bill
Gleason. Bill started to play
the game when he was with the
Phillies, and he went out on the
links at Southern Pines many a
time and oft.
He wasn't a bad golfer, but he
was an unpopular one, for he
couldn't see the need of all the
niceties that are labeled under
the head Of etiquette. If he
came up to the tee, and there
were some players directly in
front, Gleason would drive off.
anyway.
LET EN- look out" he'd say.
Il never asked anybody not to
hit balls at me when I was play
ing the infield."

PUSH RED CROSS DRIVE;

The big squirt made over last week
end Is the annual Red Cross roll call
drive, which brought the total mem
bership up to $4,39S.52, slowed
things up yesterday and few returns
were made. Many reports are ex-
pected today and another thousand
dollars or more is expected before
the drive officially ends on Thursday
of this week, Thanksgiving Day.
The big boost to the drive was
given on Saturday when Mrs. Rea
Hendrie as chairman of tag day
turned in the splendid sum of ST.
116. Another amount that brought
the total up considerably was the
report from the Standard Under
ground Cable Company which show
ed $77S.75 had been collected from
the employees at that plant.
Under the direction of their chair
men the various teams are working
earnestly in order to finish their cam
vass before Thursday and, with en-
couraging reports being received
from the committees at the plants,
over $1,000 will probably be the to-
tai by Thanksgiving Day. Every
plant and business place in the city
which has thus far made returns, has
contributed more and some have

of the Thyssen and other enter
prises, beginning tomorrow, are
given by the French as definite signs
that their agreement with the Ruhr
industrialists is soon to be translated

The French recognize that the dis
organization of the railroad system
hinders proper functioning of the
Ruhr industries. but declare that the
occupationary railway administra-
ton has thus far furnished all re-
quired transportation.
Thirty cokeries of the President
mine were relighted yesterday and
are working at full force. All but
one of the Thyssen mines in the
Hamborn district are scheduled to
reopen tomorrow, and Herr Thyssen
has announced that three-fourths of
the miners recently locked out will
be reemployed. The Thyssen Steel

Place of Nathan SiIverman in
Washington Street Visited
But No Arrests are Made

On tip received in prohibition
headquarters at Newark yesterday
afternoon, Chief Ziff and Federal
Officers Gaddis, Clark, Gantert and
Lippman visited this city and ac-
cording to the report made at gov
ernment headquarters, seized one
hundred and forty eight kegs of al
legged high powered beer and twenty
one empty beer kegs from a building
in the rear of Nathan Silverman's
home at 296 Washington street.
The federal officers, it is said. re-
eeived word that the beer was being
unloaded from a freight car, but
upon their arrival here, the supply
was found in the rear of the Sill
verman home. The beer and empty
kegs were taken to the Eagle gov
ernment warehouse in Newark.
Silverman was not at home al
noon today. a man at the Washing
ton street premises said that he wa
somewhere in North Jersey. The
helper admitted that the government
agents had visited the place yester-
day, but was not prepared to say
just what was taken.
The agents did not make an ar
rest yesterday probably because OF
the fact that the owner of the beer
was not around at the time. A report
received from Newark early this aft
ernoon is to the effect that the Unit
ed States marshals are expected In
town before the end of the day, foI
the purpose of issuing warrants.

DEMOCRATS MAY NOT
ASSIST TAX ACT PLAN
No Responsible Authority Has
Come Forward to Assure
Any Democratic Support
BY GEORGE II. MANNING
Washington Correspondent of The
Perth Amboy Evening News

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-In all
the discussion aroused by the un
folding of Secretary Melons plan
for tax reduction, even with the
President believed to be preparing
to urge its passage as an admins
tration measure in his message to
congress. no responsible authority
has come forward with any assur-
ance that the Democrats in congress
will support such measure.
The Democratic support will un-
doubtedly be necessary to its pass
age, particularly if it is found that
the Mellon plan is incompatible with
the soldier bonus, because many re-
publicans will oppose any legisla
ton that will endanger passage ot
the soldier bonus.
Tax reduction can scarcely be
claimed as a party issue by either
party, probably not a single MEM
Der of the senate or House, of either
party, would declare his definite op-
position to tax reduction as a gem
eral proposition.
Meanwhile, no rival plan, worked
out with anything like the complete
ness and detail of the plan Secretary
Mellon has propounded, has been
brought forward to draw support
from the single comprehensive tax
reduction measure which has been
formulated.

P|NCHDT PLANS
COAL CONF AB
Penna. Governor to Recon-

HARRISBURG, Pa, Nov. 27:-
Governor Pinchot today made plans
to reconvene next month the con-
ference of representatives of anthra-
cite consuming states which ad-
journed here last night without ac-
ton upon plans submitted for regu-
lation of the hard coal industry.
Proposals considered by the con-
ference differed widely in methods
suggested for attaining the purposes
for which the conference was called

the three governors present, Pincho OF
of Pennsylvania, Silzer of New Jer-
sey, and Preus of Minnesota, failed
to agree on any one. Others present,
delegates representing the governors
Of nine hard coal consuming states,
were divided in their opinions.
Governor Pinchot's plan, calling
for a compact of states to establish
joint commission for regulation of
the anthracite industry, met with
opposition from both the other gov
ernors present as we'll as other dele
gates. They called upon Pennsylva-
MIA to take the first steps by repeal
of its. .state tax on anthracite and by
other remedial legislation.

BRITISH CONFER
ON PREPARATIONS
Problems Resulting from
Dusseldorf Agreement are
Considered Today

LONDON, Nov. 81 (By The Asso-
ciated Press) Various problems
growing out of the recently conclud-
ed Duesseldorg agreement, insofar as
it affects British interests, were con-
sidered today at a special conference
of foreign office, treasury and legal
experts at which Sir John Bradbury,
British delegate on the Reparation
Commission was present
The principal discussion related to
the French and Belgian govern
ments' proposals to deduct the cost
of their separate occupation of the
Ruhr from the payments they ex-
pect to receive under the agreement
signed with the German Industrial
lists at Dusseldorf. 1t is held here
that any move on the part of France
and Belgium to retain such pay
ments on their own account would
seriously prejudice the claims of the
other powers to reparation and oc-
cupationary costs, these powers in
cluding Great Britain, Italy and the
United States.
Under the agreement made at
Paris with the Allies, the United
States enjoys special priority in it's
claims on Germany for the cost of
maintaining the American occupa-
tionary forces in the Coblenz bridge
head area. Moreover the Versailles
treaty, it is pointed out, provides
that the Allied and Associated pow
ers shall divide all payments and de-
liveries made by Germany on basis
of general equity and of the rights of
each.

subject the ideals of Kiwanis and

The speakers talk was interspersed
with humorous stories.
