= complete victory when the time
comes was discussed.
Those Senator's with whom the
President discussed this legislative
fight were Senator Cummins of Iowa,
President of the Senate, and Senators
Mckinley and Mccormick of Illinois,
Gooding of Idaho. Stanfield of Oregon
and Spencer OF Missouri.
Senator Oddie of Nevada, another
early morning caller, said his visit
had nothing to do with the postal
pay increase bill, but that he discussed
generally legislation to meet the
reclamation problem of the country.
Senator Stanfield, upon leaving his
conference with the President, said,
regarding the retirement bill which
he will handle in the Senate, he has
reached an agreement with the steer
Ing committee whereby time will be
allotted for the consideration of the
pending amendments to the civil serv-
ice retirement act shortly after the
Christmas holidays. He does not look
for serious opposition to the amend
ments in the Senate.
LehIbach Bill Uncertain.
AS for the Lehlbach bill, abolishing
the personnel classification board and
Service Commission, Senator Stan
field has not as yet reached an agree
ment with the steering committee,
and is not certain that it can be
taken UP in the Senate for a number
of weeks to come. He remains hope
ful, however, of It's passage In the
present session. The bill already has
passed the House.
A delegation of members of the
House of Representatives, friends of
former Representative A. P. Nelson
of Grantsburg, Wis, called on Presi-

PRINCE LEAVES J. S;;f
 WILL RETURN IN 1928
Heir to British Throne Has Had . Most Enjoyable Visit to
 America

New York, Oct. 25.--Plowing her way across the Atlantic oyean this morning tho White Star liner olym- pic is bearing the Prince of Wales back to England with souvenirs and memories of his American visit. He was a little wistful as he looked for the last time at tho jagged skyline of New York.
 Before sailing he promised to re- turn in 1926. Next year he is going to South America. Friends of the prince said that when he returns to the United States, it will not be on pleasure jaunt but rather on a self-educating mission. He wants to study the great industrial plants, the people and the politics of the United States, they said.
 A score of reporters boarded the vessel at. her pier soon after the prince and his staff had hurried up the gangplank. He bantered with them and posed for photographers willingly, though he still showed a little embarrassment.
 On the ship he was greeted by the British ambassador, Sir Esme How ard and Captain Howarth, com- mander of the Olympic. He was led through lines of sailors to the suite that had been reserved for him. He thought the mahogany and gold finish "too pretty" for him and turn ed it over to G. M. r. Trotter and took another. done in white and gold, for himself.

LUTHERANS HOPE ID EXPAND MUCH.
Plan Invasion Of Arctic and
 Mexico

Chicago. Oct. 25.--ESpansion of evangelical effort toward the Arctic Circle on the north and the Mex ican border on the south is an- nounced today by the board of home missions and church extension of the United Lutheran Church in America. The fact that the church has just entered Alaska as a new field for missionary work was called to the attention of the biennial con vention of the Lutherans now in session here.
 The first evangelical stakes in the great American territory of the northwest have been driven at Ju- neau and other towns have found ready for Lutheran occupancy. In some of these Alaskan communities more than half of the Protestant population is Lutheran.
 The great prairie provinces of the Canadian west with their fertile fields and swiftly growing cities arc attracting rapidly increasing num- bers of Lutheran settlers who are calling for Lutheran field secre- taries, missionaries and pastors.
 About 60 per cent of the imml- grafton from Europe to America under the new quota law is coming from populations where the Lu- theran church is the dominant re- lgious organization. It follows that this influx of selected Nordic stock from northern Europe upon which acquisition America is now priding itself, throws an added burden upon the resources of the United Lu- 1 theran church in America. This has been felt all over the country Not merely in the suburban and rural districts, but in the crowded centers of population throughout the country, the Lutherans find chal- lenging opportunities for mission. ary effort, The board asserts that "every dollar of our income could be expended and every available man used for the next two years in the metropolitan sections where the United Lutheran church has reasonably strong representation"
 Summarizing some of the most interesting phases of its work, the home mission board mentions 61 new missions set up, 30 new field missionaries sent out, 200 congrega l tions added, 75 congregations helped with loans. for buildings or prop erty totalhg s2s3,0oo.
 The Women's Missionary society contributed sSo.o0O to the funds oi the board and 1t received $S5,o00 ir legacies and annuties.
 The number of established I.u theran congregations which pay thu salary of home missionary Is in creasing.
 Yet there remains large sections where Lutheran evangelical pic neers are needed.

WANTS MELLON AND
 BLAIR TO APPEAR
La Toilette Urges Calling Ol
 Officials in Revenue Probe

Kingston, N. Y, Oct. 25.-Chair- man Couzens of the senate commit tee authorized to investigate the h. ternational Revenue Bureau was urged today by Snator Robert M. La Toilette, independent presidential candidate, to call Secretary Mellon and Commissioner Blair. of the bur eau, before the committee and to ask them "by what, authority they seek to subvert the will of congress"
 In sending telegram to Mir. Cou- zons suggesting such action. MT. La Toilette took cognizance of publish ed reports that the two officials have objected to the publication by news papers of the names of taxpayers and the amount of their income taxes.
 Declaring he understood Mir. Blair had issued warning threatening newspapers with fine and inZ,rison- ment" if they published such infor- nation, Senator La Toilette said he believed the commissioner threat violates the spirit of the publicity amendment of the revenue act and subverts the intent of congress that the public should know who is pay ling taxes and how much they pay"
 "Tbe purpose of this amendment" continued Mir. La Folett'es telegram to Mir. Couzens, twas to provide a means of checking up on tax dodg- CTS by exposing the facts to public scrutiny. This purpose will be de- feated if publication is prevented.
 Secretary Mellon is quoted as saying that congress did not intend to permit newspaper publications to satisfy idle curiosity" Secretary Mel lon may regard it as idle curiosity for the public to know who is paying taxes and who is lodging them, but congress did not so regard 1t when it passed ths amendment at an end of fight extending over more than ten years.
 This is another example of the arrogance of Secretary Mellon in setting himself up as a judge over congress, similar in purpose to his action in attempting to block inves- tigation by the senate of his own department"
 AS he travelled southward today from Syracuse. N. Y, where he spoke last night. Senator Ia Toilette had in prospect a weekend rest ir Aiken, Maryland, village on the Susquehenna river before plungins into bis final week of campaigning
 The Wisconsin senator had nc speaking engagement on his sched. ule for tonight, and he planned tc remain in scclusion in Aiken until he continues on to Baltimore for speech Monday night.
 Whether the weekend stay would be in Aiken or some larger place was in doubt as Senator La Toilette Eleft Syracuse last night, but he Wa' assured that the scene of the week end visit would be picked so as tc afford him necessary rest.
