statesmen who appear to him most
suitable to direct the new majority
Only in the case that the statesmen
submitted program which appeared
inacceptible, would the president in
the words of the Petit Parisien "be
led to take the grave resolution" of
himself retiring.
Tnrdieu to Retire.
Andre Tardieu, following his de-
1eat Tor reelection, has decided to
retire altogether from public life. and
his newspaper, the Echo-National,
will cease to appear after tomorrow's
issue.
1t has been reported that M. Tar
dieu Swouldf leave shortly for the
United States, where he would go
into business, but he declared today
that he planned to go to vittel, a
small town in Vosges, for the sum-
mer, and that if he went to the United
states 1t would be later in the year.
The lobbies of the Chamber of Dep
utfes were animated today, numerous
of the reelected and newly elected
deputies reSorting to what was sup
posed to be the fountainhead of in
formation concerning the new trend
in politics and the probable compost
tion of the new government, Thev

ers OF the new majority were giving
the Palais Bourbon a wide berth
Herriot Rests Near Home.
Edouard Herriot is resting near his
home city of Lyon.
The younger and inexperienced
deputies elect were surprised that the
heads of the victorious parties should
take their success with such appar
ent Indifference and were even in
clined to accuse them of negligence
Certain of the deputies. acquainted
with the state of mind of the radi-
cal party's leader, declare positively
that M. Herriot is somewhat non
plused by the success of his partv
and doubtful as to the success of the
Radical-Socialist coalition in the
Chamber and would be glad to re-
main away until some one else has
been chosen to make the first expert
ment in coalition government.
Leon Blum, leader of the Socialists
In the new Chamber of Deputies and
their most prominent financial au-
thority, declared today that the re-
suits of the parliamentary elections
were sure to better the position of
the franc, because France will have
just that much more credit through
out the world by affirming herself
more resolutely pacific and determin-
ed to apply the reparation experts
program"
1T will not be a sullen acceptance
Of the experts report-an acceptance
always ready to contest points and
invoke dilatory processes-which can
draw the worlds confidence to u.s."
he continued, but a loyal acceptance
based on a resolve to proceed i'm
mediately to realizing acts Don't
doubt but that the new chamber will
give the acceptance.
''I also have firm convictions that
there exists in the German Reichstag
a majority favorable to putting the
experts plan into operation The
German Nationalists would commit the
the worst possible error If they
reckoned that the arrival of the new
Radical Socialist majority in our
chamber would furnish them pretexts
for opposing the experts program and
means of escaping their obligations.
The German social democracy will
throw all its weight into the balance
to bring about the Reichstag's ac-
ceptance."

NEW YORK, May 14-Mrs. Eleanor
Elaine Lee Harris was arraigned in
Tombs Court today on forgery
charges preferred by her husband.
Beverly d. Harris. first vice president
of the National City Bank
Bail was fixed at $4,000 upon re-
hearing was adjourned until Friday.
Mrs. Harris attorney said his client
was without funds and that he was
not sure she could get bail at once,
While Mrs. Harris, who spent the
night in Jail following her arrest in
a hotel, was being arranged, Maeis-
trate Obervager asked Harris If he in
tended to furnish bail bond for her.
NO" was the reply.
The complaint set forth that on
court rendered a verdict in favor Of
Harris annulling his marriage with
Mrs. Harris. 1t stated that on ApriI
80, 1924. she filed an affidavit in su-
preme court seeking a new trial on
the basis of q letter which Harris
was alleged to have written to ans
other woman while the trial of the
annulment suit was in progress, in
which Harris was supposed to have
admitted that his charges against his
true" Harris alleges that this letter
was forgery and that Mrs. Harris
uttered a forged document"
A representative of the district at
torney's office told the court that the
prosecution would produce a hand
writing expert who would testify
that the handwriting in the oues-
toned letter was not that of Harris.
He also said that another handwrit-
ing expert to whom Mrs. Harris had
submitted the letter and who is said
to have declared it to be in Harris
handwriting had changed his mind"
and now considered the document a
forgery.
Mrs. Harris laughed and chatted
with q policewoman during her ar
raignment.
Counsel for Mrs. Harris later had
bail reduced to $1,000, and she was
released after a surety company had
supplied a bond.

CONFEREES TACKLE
BIGGER TAX ITEMS
Two Score Senate Amendments to
Be Considered, Few Being
Difficult.
REPORT LIKELY IN WEEK
Main Fight Expected to Center on
Corporation Rates.

The tax reduction bill was in the
hands Of Senate and House conferees
today for adjustment Of differences,
dispute.
About two score amendments made
by the Senate to the bill as passed
by the House must be considered.
Most Of these changes, however, dealt
principally with the language of ad-
ministrative provisions and presented
little difficulty to the conferees, who
planned to dispose of all Of them be-
fore taking up the controversial Sec
tions. Members of both houses and
both parties predicted speedy action,
expressing hope that the conference
reports would be ready within a week
or ten days.
Among the more important Senate
amendments on which the prospects
OF a presidential veto of the bill are
said to hinge are those providing for
substitute corporation tax, iISpos-
ing a graduated levy on undistributed
profits. full publicity of returns and
tax schedule for the Longworth COM
promise. There is little difference
between the income rates, however,
and the main fight is expected to
center on the corporation tax.
House Republican insurgents today
voted to seek approval by the House
of the Senate amendments providing
for full publicity of tax returns and
for a graduated tax on undistributed
corporation profits.
No Income Tax Preference.
No preference was decided upon for
the income rate schedules, Represen-
tative Frear, Wisconsin, one of the
leaders, pointing out that the rates
approved by the Senate were almost
identical to the Longworth compro-
mise adopted by the House
Representative Garner, Texas, lead.
er of the Democrats in the tax fight
however, has not indicated a stand
for either of the Senate amendments
supported today by the insurgents
while House Republicans are known
to be bitterly opposed to both, ant
pdsitian p1eSidens cotlidge has indicated op'
1t is considered likely that the pro-
visions will be called up for a vote
in the House. A solid Democratic
lineup would be required to gain ap.

real estate business in Philadelphia,
that he is married and that when he
left home his wife was an expectant
mother

but was honest.

.EPlSCOPALIANS TABLE
FIGHT OVER DOCTRINE
Avoid Action on Resolutions to
Drive Modernist Teachings
From Church.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, May 1.-Two reso-
lutions, calling in effect for reaffirma-
tion of the declaration in the recent
pastoral letter of the House of
Bishops that "it was the purpose of
the church not to explain but to pro-
claim as fact that the Jesus of history
IL none other than God and Savior"
were tabled today by unanimous vote
at the convention of the New York
diocese of the Protestant Episcopal
Church.
One of the resolutions, introduced
by the Rev. Philip K. Fauntleroy of
Lake Mahopac, N. Y, demanded those
In authority drive from the church
teachings, wherever and in whatso-
ever ,Quarters-hfgh or low-these
teachings may appear"
The rector moved to rescind the
rules to allow debate on the motion
and claimed the privilege of speaking
on 1t for two minutes. Bishop Man
ming Immediately put the motion to
rescind the rules and it was defeated
by large majority. When the Rev.
Mr.. Fauntleroy attempted to insist
upon his right 5 to speak, Bishop Man n.
ming said: This gentleman is not In
order. He will please take his seat
Bishop Manning was presiding when
the resolutions were tabled. There
was no discussion.
Avoid Controversy.
The action of the convention fol-
lowed a committee report which as
| serted that it was not within the
province of the convention to discuss
the pastoral letter. The report ex-
| pressed the belief that discussion OF
the resolutions would revive in the
church the morenist-fundament talist
controversy and "by resultant misun-
derstandings might do great harm to
the church"
| Rev. DR.. Percy Stickney Grant, a
| modernist. characterized the action as
IAN unfortunate delay of progress.
| If such questions were to be passed
| over without discussion, he said, the
diocesan convention might be con-
| sidered "a waste of time"
| The supernatural birth Of Jesus
| Christ, His bodily resurrection and
His ascension to Heaven are facts
| upon which Christianity stands or
| falls" Bishop Manning insisted yes
! ton.
| Assailing the impression given the
| "truth-seeking" young men and
women Of today that the great facts
| HnQ Truths OF tne Creeo are uHih
| portant or unworthy of belief, Bishop
| Manning said the clergy must teach
| the supreme truth Of Jesus Christ
| IF some of the young people have
doubts" he declared, we shall help
them by showing the full truth Of the
| gospel, not by Offering them this
truth in reduced or weakened form The
work Of the church Is to lift the though,
of the time up to the level Of
her divine message. not down to the
l level Of the thought of the time"
