 ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. June 16.- The reporter today found a friend Col. George Mccain of the Philadel. phia Evening Ledger, addressing the Pennsylvania State Editorial associ- ation, attacked the fellow who planes it on the reporter" as being nine times out of ten a moral coward and the tenth, an ordinary liar.
 "I particularly desire to speak of a certain class of men usually iden- tified in some way with public life. whom every reporter sooner or later Is bound to meet" said the colonel. He is the individual who gives an interview or makes a public declara- tion one day and then indignantly denies it the next.
 The reporter is the wheel horse of every newspaper organization. Editors may write, business mana gers may manage, the circulation men may circulate, but none of them could function were it not for the reporter"

NASHINGTIN, June 16-TaNa lon and immigration are two subjects to hich congressional leaders now in Washington are giving attention ln i advance of the first regular session of the new Congress. Some of them are convinced that there is a wide spread demand for reduction of the national tax bill and believe that the present temporary immigration re- strction law should give way to one outlining q national policy.
 Just what changes should be made in the tax law none of the leaders dent Harding's view that there appears to be an accord with Presi- dent HardinGs view that ahere should be reduction all along the line if possible. Whether the tax bur den can be autreciab,y decreased of the national finances at the end of this fiscal year. Treasury experts also have the whole taxation sub

 | Restriction of immigration Is to be continued as a definite policy of Con ereSS, with indications that the lS9O census, instead of the 1919 eeusus. will be adopted as the basis for the quotas from the various European countries.
 The bill reported by the House ! committee jul pe'ore he close of
 the last session pr vided for tVo per cent instead of the present three
 per cent with a basic quota of 40u
 for all countries. Some leaders re-

 suggestions ranging from thre to . five per cent.
 The change of the census basis
 will operate to increase the quotas
 from northern and western Europe
 and decrease those from the Balkans
 and other Mediterranean countries
 This change is regarded generally 1 in Congress as desirable.

troleum.
1t is fact worthy of the atten-
ton of the honest historian that
very few people in Smyrna at the
time of the fire or during the sue
eeeding weeks believed that the
Turks were responsible for it. That
the Turks were grossly and crimi-
na1ly negligent in the matter OF
ordinary precautions against an out
break of fire. we all realized, and
that they were tragically inefficient
in fighting the fire was obvious
to us all. but 1 have been able to
find no evidence that either Turkish
soldiers or Turkish civilians deliber-
ate1y fired the city or wished for
its destruction. The evidence all
points in another direction.

Sunday night Monday and Monday
night and Tuesday so many fires were
reported at such widely separated
POINTS, that the fire department was
absolutely unable to deal with them.
They were extinguished by Turkish
soldiers.
discussed with Grescoyich the
danger of fire at the plant of the
Standard Oil company Although
these tanks were located at least a
couple of miles from the city, it was
obvious that fire and explosions thers
would do terrific damage. and in spite
of the depleted personnel of the de-
partment and the isolation of the
plant, which was beyond municipai
jurisdiction, he set and maintained
two mon too act as guards there.
During Tuesday night and Wednes-
day morning, the Turkish soldiers
shot down many Armenians who, they
claimed, were caught throwing Pc
troleum and starting fires in the
Armenian quarter and also around
the warehouses and station of the
Cassaba railroad. 1t was on Wednes-
day morning that Grescovich himself
found evidences of incendiarism. He
told me that early that morning he
had seen two Armenian priests es-l
ccrtfng several thousand men, women
and children from the Armenian
schools and Dominican churches
where they had taken refuge, down
to the quays. When he presently
went into these institutions he found
petroleum. soaked refuse ready for
The torch.
The chief told me, and there is
: no doubt that he was sure of it, that
his a well Turkish
guards, had shot down many Armen-
ian young men disguised either as
women or as Turkish irregular SOL
diers, who were caught setting fires
during Tuesday night mad Wednes-
day morning. Turkish soldiers.
armed with rifles and machine guns,
were guarding every street in the
Armenian quarter and every man,
woman and child who was in this
section OF the city as late as MIDI
afternoon on Wednesday was either
burned alive or shot down while at
tempting to escape.
At 1870 Wednesday morning at
least half a dozen fires were report
ed almost simultaneously around the
freight terminal warehouses and the
passenger station at the Aidine rail-
road.
1t is noteworthy" that these fires
broke out in buildings which it was
greatly to the advantage of the
Turks to preserve, and equally to
the advantage of the enemies to de-
stroy.
At IL o'clock five fires were re-
ported around the Armenian hospital
then occupied by the Turks. AT
about the same time two fires were
reported at the Armenian club and
few minutes later several fires
started simultaneously around the
Cassaba railroad station.
Shortly after noon Crescovich,
convinced that the city was doomed.
again went to the military authori-
ties to ask for help, and again It
was not forthcoming. 1t was not
until 6 o'clock in the evening that
he was given g. company of 100 sol.
diers to serve under his direction
and it was o'clock at night before
the soldiers began the destruction
