ton in the administration, was be-

tence, and other forms of clemency to
convicts in federal penitentiarieS or to
their families and friends The two
legislators are said to have collected
between $15O,0OO and 100000 from a

TAX REFUND STARTS
PROBE IN CONGRESS

Washington.-Wha promises to be
disclosures of a more startling nature
than those of the Teapot Dome scan
dial were foreshadowed here in the
forthcoming investigation by the SEN
ate committee of Attorney General
Daugherty's regime.
They are said to involve the activi-
ties of groups of individuals which
are declared to have used the influence
of the administration in wholesale
graft operations. These charges have
been brought within the focus of the
Teapot Dome investigation, and will
result in revelations that bid fair to
shock the nation, II is rumored in
Washington circles.
The senate committee will inquire
into these accusations in connection
with the present inquiries. and it is
indicated that the existence of ring
of notorious politicians which has
preyed on government departments
for the last few years will be exposed.
Who got the S226, 540,269 in taxes
refunded to certain individuals and
corporations and who persuaded or
convinced officials in the Treasury de-
partment that these taxes should he
returned, is causing considerable ex-
citement in both the house and senate.
The first information that this
amount of money had been paid back
to certain taxpayers was revealed
Saturday. BY coincidence the
amount covers the period asked for
the Norris resolution, passed by the
senate last week, calling for a full
disclosure of the amounts of taxes re-
funded, and who secured them and
who received them.

CUSTER OF GIRL
SMOKER UPHELD
Michigan Supreme Court
Sustains Expulsion From
State Normal School.

Lansing, Mich. - Officials of the
Michigan State Normal school, at Ypsi-
lanti, who expelled Miss Alice Tanton
for smoking cigarettes in the spring
of 1922, were upheld by the state Su-
preme court in a decision handed down
here
Miss Tanton was refused permission
to return to the school, because of
cigarette smoking, and took her case
to the courts in an effort to compel
the authorities to admit her.
Commenced Official Action.
The Supreme court not only refused
to order her return to school but
praised Ypsilanti officials for maintain
ing certain ideals for the young
women who will be the teachers of
the state, and declared that, instead
of condemning Mrs Bessie Leach
Priddy, dean of women, "she should be
commended for unfolding some of the
old-fashioned ideals of young woman
hood"
Mrs. Priddy again came before the
public eve ten days ago at the Uni
vefsity of Missouri, where she now is,
when she caused the dismissal of
eleven students, four of them girls, on
charges of drinking liquor.
Alleged Sex Discrimination.
The Michigan case attracted state
wide attention. The young woman
commended cigarette stubs found in the
waste basket in her room had been
used to char the edges of posters on
the walls of her ROOM
The brief filed by Miss Tantons
attorney also cOntended that there
was no rule against cigarette smoking
at the school, and authorities were
seeking to make requirement for
girls which they did not make for boys

lon, or Administration
Measure, 1t Is Said.

WaShington.-The tax reduction Dill
will be much different when it comes
from the senate finance committee
than it is in its present form, Mem
bers of the committee, making pre-
liminary study of the bill preparatory
to consideration of ii said they ex-
pected to completely rewrite the Dill
and to submit it to the senate in en-
tirely new form.
Administration Bill.
Although the measure will vary
from the original Mellon bill, 1t Will
be much closer approach to the Mel
Ion program than the Longworth COM
promise plan, and in general way
will carry out the desires OF the adj
ministration.
The senate finance committee con-
sists of ten Republicans and seven
Democrats, but inasmuch as Senator

pected to vote with the Democrats, the
committee lineup undoubtedly will be

there is every indication they will DO.
The majority members expect to revise

Leaders Confer.
Senators Smoot of Utah, Watson of
Indiana, Curtis of Kansas, Reed OF
Pennsylvania and other Republican
members of the committee have had
several informal conferences in the
last few days on the income tax rates.
Although they do not believe 1t will

the Mellon plan, which provided u maxi
mum surtax of % per cent, they are
of the opinion that the 37h per cent
maximum rate, which was written into
the bill by the house, is entirely Excess
sive and must be revised.
