COOLIDGE NOT
TO PRESS TAX
REVISION NOW
Indicated Administration
Won't Demand Action
This Winter
NO SPECIAL TERN
President Also Has Not Indi
Gated Intention to Call
Session March 4
NO SPECIAL TERN

Washington, Nov. 12.-The admin
lstration has no present intention
OF pressing for tax legislation at
the coming short session of Con-
gress, it became known today after
Secretary Mellon had conferred with
President Coolidge.
1t is understood Mr.. Mellon does
not consider it practical to take up
the problem at this session because
OF the lack of time and in view of
other difficulties entering into the
situation. Neither has the admins
tration given any consideration so
far to the calling of special session
of the new Congress after March a
to consider tax reduction.
The administration officials feel it
would be rather futile to renew the
tax fight at the short session, since
the problem has just been thrashed
out and the result law is just now
going into effect.
What Congress itself may at
tempt, without recommendation from
the ministration, is another ques-
tion. Some elements in the Senate
and House want immediate action
despite the fact that the Republi-
can party leaders seem agreed with
the White House as to the inadvis-
ability of such a course. Others
are pressing for a special session
after March and it remains to be
developed whether they will muster
sufficient strength to convince the
President that such a session should
be called. Unless Mr.. Coolidge is
sues special session call the new
Congress will not meet until year
from the coming December. Those
who are u:ging a special session
point out that the President declar-
ed after the act of 1924 was per-
fected that he favored another re-
vision at the earliest opportunity
and they argue that a delay until
late in 1925 would not carry out
that program.
Mr.. Mellon conferred for more
than half an hour this morning with
the President. 1t is understood the
question of taxation was discussed
in some detail.

GYPSY SCARE
Is EFFECTIVE
Wisconsin Man Refuses To
Pass Hotel Site

Chippewa Falls, Wis.,, Nov. 12.---
Twenty-Five years ago the Turing
smile of roaming gypsy fortune
teller swayed Charles A. Everett to
consent laughingly that she "looked
into his future"
Out Of his palm she painted a
vision in short phrases and the
young mans face lost its laughter.
"Next time you pass that hotel"
she said, and she pointed down the
street where stood the then Stanley
hosteltry, "you fall dead"
In the quarter of century that
has passed not once has Everett
ventured from his small confection-
cry store to the downtown district
for the route would take him past
the "dead line" where once stood
the Stanley Hotel.
The old hotel is gone, burned to
the ground years ago, and in it's
stead new hotel stands, but Ever
etts still shuns the sight made sim
lister by the gypsy's prophesy.
