SENATOR PAT HARRISON TAuNTs REPUBLICANS
 OVER 0|L SCANDAL
Says Mclean with All the Guilt Heap ed on Him, Seeks Advice Cool
 idge-SeIf Confessed Liar
eoFsRleHT KEYSTONE ElFw eo4 se" V0s6

WASHINGTON, Mar. 7.-Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, in a Sen ate speech today, assailed President Coolidge, E. B. Mclean, and ripped into Attorney General. Haunting the Republicans with the assertion that, "Daugherty, fighter, will come back here and beard you in your den, and you will grow weak at sight of him" :" Harrison continued "On January II, Mclean was a self-confessed liar. He said he lent Fall one hundred thou sand dollars and he lied about it; yet on January twelfth, message went to Mclean from the Whitehouse. It is bad enough when employees of the Whitehouse send messages to Mclean, but to have the President himself wire Mclean with all his guilt, is braZen effrontery. Mclean seeks advice from the President; the President comforts and consoles Mclean"

FIGHT 0N- -SURTAX
 IS B|C FEATURE }. IN TAX REVISION
Administration Forces Will Be Lucky If Rate Is Reduced as Low as
 Thirty-Fiye Per Cent

WASHINGTON, Mar 7.-The tax bill, which has had stormy progress before congress up to the present time and which was reported favorably only out of courtesy to Secretary Mellon, so that he might have re- cord vote on the 25 per cent surtax rate, now faces more perilous situ- ation.
 Republican leaders like Representa- tive Longworth, who from the first saw the necessity for compromise, have done all they could to keep faith with the administration, but they re- alize that unless compromise is made at 35 per cent on the high surtax rate not only will there be no chance at all for the p per cent rate recommend- ed by Mr. Mellon, but there is like lihood the democratic plan of A per cent will prevail.
 Republican leaders wanted to report the bill out of committee with 35 per cent surtax, but the administra- ton begged them to stand pat and give the bill a chance before the full membership of the House. Accordingly men like Chairman Green, who do not favor the 35 per cent surtax rate, voted to report the bill to the House h.14 port the same rates on the final vote. The administration felt that no com promise should be made at least un- til both houses had passed the mea- sure and it was up in conference.
 But the parliamentary situation is such that republican leaders cannot get the House to pass a p per cent surtax and they are not altogether sure they can put over a 35 per cent tax. It all depends on whether any democratic members support the bill.
 The democrats in a caucus last week pledged themselves to stand by the Garner plan of A per cent sur taxes. Thirty or more democrats were absent. The republican leaders would need only handful of demo- crats to put their program through if they would only be sure of their own ranks, but insurgents, mostly from the West, are opposed to a 5 per cent plan and think the democratic plan a safer one from a political standpoint.

BRITAIN PLANS GREAT NEW PORT AT CORNWALL

LONDON, Mar. 7.-Plans for deep water port at Falsmouth, Cornwall, that will be safe for the biggest liners are under consideration.
 The scheme is ambitious and pro- vides for great tidal basins, quays, and graving docks that will accommo- date mammoths like the Leviathan and the Majestic comfortably.
 No docks are required it is pointed out, owing to the land-locked nature of the work, and on sea-defenses are needed.
 Supporters of the plan maintain that when the port is completed the facilities will make it the first port of call from the Mediterranean.

AUTO HEADLIGHT GLARE
 NEARLY WREcKs VESSEL

HONOLULU, Mar. 7.-Glaring au- tomobile headlights almost caused the wreck of the big inter-island steamer Haleakala and possibly the new con- crete wharf at Mala Harbor, Island of Maui. As the boat approached the wharf an auto with powerful head lights raced along the structure head ing directly toward the vessel, blind i. ing the captain and the officers for a few seconds. When they again saw the wharf they were almost on top of it and were forced to reverse the en- zines quickly to avert crash.
 The matter was called to the port officials and hereafter autos passing onto the wharf will use their dinners.
