TREASURY OFFICIALS
WORKING OVERTIME
PREPARING ALIDIS

WASHINGTON, March g.
Treasury officials today were pre-
pairing figures to answer criticism.
in Congress of the refunds of
$226,00O,000 in taxes since 1917.
The treasury's answer will be that
in that period more than $1,000
100000 has been added to the re-
turns of individuals End corpora
lions on income and other taxes.
In 1928, the internal revenue
bureau refunded more than S123,-
100000, in sums ranging from
$1,000 to more than. $4,000. 900.
But in the same year, it was point
ed out today by bureau officials,
more than $500, 100000 was added
to the taxes of wealthy individuals
and business concerns. A large
percentage of this $500, 900, 900 has
been collected, it was stated, so
that the treasury shows net
gain.
Nevertheless, the House appro-
priatiOns' committee will go ahead
with an investigation into the cause
of $1O5,OOO.OOO deficit caused by
tax refunds.

Thrown from a taxi in front of

account of her captors or the events
which occurred since she disap-
peared on Sunday.
Dazed and trembling, she told a
story of two men who had hustled
her into taxi as she was on her
way to church. She said she had
been kept in a "tumbledown house"
and cared for by a woman dressed
entirely in white"
Both of her eyes were discolor-

beaten. Neighbors saw two men
push her from a cab and speed

RumOrs Fly Around
White House as car
Keeps Lips Sealed

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Presi-
dent Coolidge still stands squarely
behind the administration tax bill
and ne will rot commit himself in
advance whether he will veto or sign
any other tax measure that may be
passed by Congress, it was declared
at the White House today. The
statement was designed to dispose
of recent rumors that the president
had informed administration leaders
in Congress that he approved of the
compromise bill passed by the house.
The presidents position on the tax
question is the same as he expressed
it in his message to Congress and
in subsequent public statements that
he has made, it was declared.

BIC MINNESOTA
FARMER-LABOR
MEET MARCH IA
May 30 Convention Will
Be Issue

MINNEAPOLIS, March 5.-Minne-
sofa is the springboard this month
for national third party hopes. The
state Farmer-Labor party conven-
ton, is called by Chairman f. A.
Pike to meet March Ia in st. Cloud,
rs miles northwest of st. Paul. Both
the place of meeting and the allot-
ment Of delegates have been critic
lied by st. Paul and Minneapolis
party members who believe that
farmers and workers will be incon-
venienced.
The Nonpartisan league and the
Working Peoples Nonpartisan Polit-
ical league, the principal constituent
elements of the Farr6er-Labor party,
are to hold preliminary state conven-
tions in Minneapolis March 13.
The national aspect will be dealt
with first in a still earlier gather
ing in st. Paul March 10 and II. This
is to be in effect a reconvened session
of the November, 1928, meeting at
which the call for a national Farmer
Labor convention to be held Nav 80
was sent out. All the signatories to
the request for that call are reinvited
and also the various other state and
national third party organizations.
Opinion seems to be going three
ways prior to this meeting. Many
favor the fixed date of May 80 and
st. Paul as the place for the national
presidential convention. Others talk
of joining with the Cleveland meet
ing July 4 Of the Conference for Pro-
gressive Political Action. A third
element wants the convention in
June between the Republican and
Democratic meets.

its legality is tested.
Jury trials demanded by all the
strikers who were arraigned yester-

their time in court appears, on $400

attorneys that all will be acquitted
when they face ~ citizens in spite Of
all the hostility Of the States Attor-
ney who regards strikers as his special
prey.
The thing that impressed all Wis
itors to the strike zone yesterday. as
on other days, is the lack of any dis
order on the part Of the pickets. Their
work has been done by peaceful per-
suasion. II becomes more and more
evident that the only purpose of the

Bombing Airplanes in
Battle with Jams

OMAHA, Neb., March 5.-Two
army Martin bombing airplanes
which last summer destroyed the
battleships Virginia and New Jersey
in bombing tests had harder task
with a huge ice jam in the Platte
river near North Bend, Neb., the
pilots reported today.
The planes, piloted by Lieutenants
Whitley and Finley, dropped twenty
five bombs, each weighing 300
pounds on the jam before the huge
mass Of Zee was dislodged.
Five miles further down the river
the jam reformed and the aviators
had their work to do over again.
Enough dynamite was used on
the jams to blow up a fleet Of war;
ships, the officers said.
The flood situation is expected to
greatly improve today. The Union
Pacific main line was washed out
in twelve different places and it will
be several days before normal rail
service is restored.

No Stree! CaIUin

Postal Wage Raise

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Presi-
dent Coolidge has come out against
the raise in pay demanded by the
postoffice employees Of the country.
His MELONS and Daughertys appear
to have persuaded him, for he says
that this proposed expenditure Of
S125,000,000 on adjustment Of postal
wages to the cost Of living would
have disturbing effect on the coun-
try" IL enacted.

Hundreds More Strikers.
Hundreds more strikers came out
in Evanston yesterday and the
pickets in the Loop, Milwaukee ave-
nue. and west side districts of Chica-
go added new strike recruits in the
early morning, at noon at quitting
time in the afternoon and they put
their cause before the men and wom-
en- who had passively permitted them
selves to be used as strikebreakers.
Ranks of pickets were thinned by
arrests, but the devoted work kept
on, for the strikers were fighting
for the elimination of the sweatshop
conditions in which they had spent
years of misery and were not to
be deferred by the thought of a
short period in Jail.
Girls Gallant Picketing.
Nearly a score of arrests were
made by blue coats, most Of the
prisoners being girls and women.
The gentler sex is outdoing the men

Market street was a hurly bur-
ly Of police all day yesterday.
Mounted police rode up and down
on their brown chargers, squads of
regular harness bulls marched up
and down, filing the sidewalk from
wall to curb and now and then
changing patrol wagons rushed up
and down the street lane.
The squads of foot cops under
their sergeants would bravely pa
rade up to little girl picket and
capture her as the hour for opening

arrested.

Daugherty was out of town on Jan.

THE senate oil committee today
4 hit the trail of a $4,000 check
which it believes may show a reason
for the pointed interest displayed by
Edward B. Mclean regarding de-
velopments in the oil industry.
John Major, self-described "con-
fidential agent" of the Washington
puDllSner, WAS recalled 10 the SJanQ
to explain a hypothetical question he
put to Mclean in one of the Palm
Beach kilograms about the check.
Senator Thomas J. Walsh, chief
prosecutor, is firm in the opinion that
this $4,000 slip of paper relates to
the inquiry because it was referred
to in telegram in which department
of justice code was used.
In the message Major asked Nc
Lean if banks kept a record of the
notations on checks-for instance a
notation that the check was "for
purchase of a house."
Call More Mclean Employees.
Other Mclean Employees and those
mentioned in the messages also were
called to see if they could shed any
light on what was the real notation
on the hypothetical check.

to reveal further details of efforts
to discredit his work in unearthing
