SENATE TRIES TO
SALVAGE M'CRAY
FINANCE PROGRAM
Auto License and Gas Tax
Measures Passed to
Second Reading,

The McCray financial program for
the highway department was well on
the way to being rescued in the Sen
ate today.
Both the gasoline tax bill and the
automobile license bill were ready for
passage. The automobile license bill
was amended to increase the license
fees, almost doubling those voted by
the House. If the bill passes the Sem
ate. 1t must go back to the House for
concurrence in the amendments
Among other amendments was one
giving automobile police the right to
arrest traffic law vioIators without
warrants. The bill still provides that
half the proceeds of the fees shall be
returned to the counties. This is at
variance with the original McCray
program.
Gas Bill Unchanged
Eight attempts to amend the gaso-
line tax bill failed and the bill was
ready for passage in the same con-
dition it left the House. It provides
q tax of 2 cents a gallon and pro
vides the first year $500, 600 Of the
proceeds shall be returned 70 the
counties and $4,000 during each
succeeding year. The remainder
would go to the highway department.
A motion to postpone indefinitely
further consider was lost by this vote:

NEW YORK. June 14-Great Brit
ain will save s1,4OO,0O0 tomorrow
when IL pays $4,000, 900 In liberty
bonds to the United States as the
first payment of interest and prin-
cipal on it's s4.600,000,000 war debt,
financiers closely in touch with Wall
street said today. The saving, it was
said. will be effected through the
purchase of the bonds by the British
treasury at an average of per cent
below par. to be redeemed by the
United States Treasury at par.
By accepting the payment in lib
erty bonds, it is pointed out. the
United States government will reduce
it's own war debt by exactly $4,000
900, as 1t will cancel the bonds. Thus
Great Britain'S and the United States
war debts are cut down by one
stroke.
The payment is the first of the
regular series agreed upon between
the two governments last winter. The
first payment under the agreement
was made March 15. 1t was of S4.-
12s,0S5 and was arranged to round
out the British figure to $4,000, ,000.-
900. so that computation would be
easier.
Before the debt agreement was
reached two other payments were
made by Great Britain, October Is
and November Is, 1922, totaling $780,

President Pleads With Nation
To Learn National anthem
Deplores apparent Inability of Greater
Part of Audiences to Sing ''StG

President Harding depIores the fact
that 80 few American citizens know
the words of THE Star Spangled
Banner" and he would like to hear
audiences sing this anthem instead
or mumbling it. He so expressed him
self at the Flag day meeting today,
under the auspices of the American
iZation Commission of the American
Legion in Continental Memorial Hall.
1T has been an interesting expert
ence to me to note audiences singing
national airs-that is not the way to
put 1T have noted them trying to
sing our national airs. and outside Of
about per cent nearly all of them
were mumbling their words, pretend
ing to sing" the executive said.
He urged the meeting to take steps
that Will tend to result in Americans
learning how to sing The Star Span
gled Banner" This should be done,
he contended as one of the mani
festations Of reverence to the flag.
The President then asserted that
Americans have a greater obligation.

that the members Of the Sofia gov

key. Not single government secret
agent was aware of the existence of
the plot, and the members of the gov

in their own homes in Sofia Friday
night. Sofia reserve officers in small

Most Of the policemen submitted
without murmur. and the few who
did resist were clubbed.

While this was going on in the
streets detachments of cadets and
officers from the Sofia garrison were
arresting the ministers in their

he asked for a glass of water with
the remarks that this was the first

last twelve months Most of the min

zers of the present movement which
ended Stamboulisky's dishonest and
autocratic regime declare proudly
that the revolution cost fewer lives
than an ordinary election. The main
reason for the smooth development
of the revolution was the excellent

of the Stamboulisky's government as

tween two women, each claiming to
be her mother. today was awarded
by Superior Judge David to Mrs.
Julia Prybylski. The other woman.
Mrs. Violet LEM. nearly collapsed
when she heard the judges decision.
For four days both women have
fatty made the same claims. Each
swore that Leona was her natural
daughter. Each had witnesses to sus-
tain the claim. But Mrs. Lenz's re-
fusal to name the physician said to
have been the child's father turned
the tide against her, although another
physician testified that he was pres
ent when Leona was born.
Mrs. Prybylski also produced wit
nesses, who said they saw the child
with her when she came on an i'm
migrant ship from Poland in 1920.
Her testimony was that Leona was a
Polish war baby and that before
her marriage to her present husband
she was forced to work for her living
and placed Leona in the care OF Mrs.
Lenk
