MELLON TELLS HOW TREASURY
ESTIMATES GOVERNMENT INCOME

Secretary Mellon, in answer to
democratic criticism. has barred the
entire Treasury system of arriving
at estimates OF government receipts
Three separate estimates are made,
Mr.. Mellon explained. in a statement
made public last night, these sepa-
rate figures are then compared, and a
conclusion reached as to the most ac-
curate. r
The Treasury rejoinder came in re-
ply to charges by members of Con-
gress that the Treasury had used
the smaller Of two estimates. in com
putting the probable surplus, but that
If the larger of the two estinat tes had
been used a greater amount OF money
would be available for tax reduc-
tion.

same time effect a readjustment that
would be satisfactory to postal
workers.
The postal pay increase bill in its
present form would involve an addi-
tional annual expenditure for the
postal service of nearly 100000. 900.
President Coolidge has indicated his
would require increases in either the
first or second class postal rates or
in parcel post charges.
VIII Aid Postal Workers.
The pay increase plan upon which
Mr.. New is working would be design
ed TO bring the pay OF postal workers
TO a level with employees in similar
work in private business.
Representative Longworth outlined
to the President and his colleagues
the amount Of work that might be
done by the House before June I, and
Mr.. Madden went over the situation
with regard to appropriation bills.
Then followed discussion of the
various pending bills, entailing large
expenditures. which brought out that
the measures now before the House
and its committees would involve
total outlays of nearly a billion dol
lars. in addition to the regular ap-
preparation measures. This estimate
includes the probable total of a pub
lie buildings bill.
Few OF these measures, the Presi-
dent was told, stood any likelihood
of congressional action at this ses-
sion.
Agreeing with the President that
every effort should be made to bring
about adjournment before the June
conventions. Mr.. Longworth reiterated
his belief that ability of Congress to
do SO rested largely with the Senate.
He declared himself emphaticaIly op-
posed TO any recess over the con-
vention period, or to a special ses-
sion, in the event of sine die ad-
journment, before the regular De-
cember session.

DENNIS SHEA DIES,
 HURT IN ACCIDENT
Ballouville Man Internally ln- jured In Crash Near keach's
 Pond

Dennis Shea of Ballouville died at the Day Kimball Hospital at l.30 this morning. following an accident on the Providence Pike near keach's pond late yesterday afternoon. Mir. Shea with two companions was coming from Providence toward this city when his automobile was in collision with a light truck.
 Following the crash Mir. Shea was brought to the hospital here by the ambulance. His injuries seemed Co consist of fractured leg, scalp wounds. concussion of the brain and probable internal injuries.
 After hours of raving and delirium he died early this morning. Mir. Shea's dog. seated with him in the car was killed outright in the crash.
 The deceased was a man about tfty years of age. Since the accident was just over the Rhode Island line, Con necticut state police did not investi- gate, and hence full details of the affair are not available.
