.ONE-HALF OF TAX MUST BE PAID
 JUNE l5, IS RULE
Treasury Department Is- sues Directions For
 Computing Income

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Official directions were issued today by the treasury department covering the pro cess the taxpayer should go through in determining how he should pay his taxes under the new revenue bill.
 If at the time you filed your federal income tax return you paid three fourths of the amount of the tax re- ports, no further payments will be due," the treasury said.
 If at the time you filed your return you paid one-half of the amount of tax reported, no payment will be due until September 15.
 If at the time you filed your return, you paid only one-fourth of the amount of tax reported, you must pay on or before June 15, One-half of the amount paid by you when you filed your re- turn.
 Must Pay One.HaIf
 sThe main point to pe borne in mind is that one-half of the tax due from you this year must have haeu paid on or before June 15.
 .tThe usual notices have been issued by internal revenue collectors remind ing income tax payers that the second installment of tax is due June 10. Of special interest to taxpayers is the pro- vision carried in the new revenue law to the effect that the tax of incomes received by individuals in the calendar year 1924 will be reduced by % per cent. This means that every individual who is subject to income tax will be relieved of One-fourth of the tax liabil- ity which he reported on the return filed on or prior to March 15, or if the tax was paid in full that he will re- ceive refund of one-fourth of his pay ment.
 Should Make No Mistake
 Taxpayers who paid only one-fourth of their tax in March, however, should not make the mistake of thinking they may take credit for the full p per cent reduction at once and not pay anything when the second installment comes due. The new law provides that the 25 per cent reduction shall be prorated over all four installments. For instance, if an individual reported tax of $100 on his return he can consider that the new law has reduced his tax to $75. If he paid $25, or one-fourth of the amount reported when he filed his re- turn, then he must pay $12.50 on or before June 15. This amount, together with the $25 previously paid, will make up one-haf of the $75."

CABINET IS REAPPOINTED;
 FAVORS DAWES
Nationalist Group, De- spite Selection Gain,
 Is Eliminated
By ERIC KEYER. (By Leased Wire to Age-Herald)

BERLIN, June 3.-German co-opera- tion in the execution of the Dawes re- port was sustained, and the anti Dawes junvkers of the nationalist party received a set back when Wilhelm Marx, who resigned as chancellor a week ago, reformed his old cabinet without nationalist participation.
 The cabinet crisis ended Tuesday aft CT a week of wrangling in which the nationalists, bssing claims for in creased cabinet representation On their gains in the recent elections, kept the internal political situation in turmoil.
 Make Flat Demands
 In the end the middle parties, tired of nationalist delay, flatly demanded that the reactionaries definitely out line their policies.
 The answer exhibited all nationalist indignation against the Dawes plan, and nationalist excitement over the so- called guilt ie"-the declara ton that Germany was responsible for the World war.
 The nationalists declared that the first plank in their platform was that the forthcoming government, in out lining its policy before the reichstag, should avoid reference to continuing the present policy.
 This meant. in effect, that they de- sired to evade carrying out the ex- perts' report.
 Sought Representative
 They further demar ded nationalist cabinet representation in proportion to the nationalist election gains.
 They insisted that the question of German responsibility for the World war should be brought up, so that such responsibility might be repudiated.
 When it became evident that Marx was planning to form a cabinet with out the nationalists, however, they en- deavored to crawl out of these de- mands.
 A report was circulated that what they had really meant by the t1clara- tions on the Dawes plan was that they favored acceptance of the plan, but must conceal this fact temporarily so that nationalist voters would not real ize they had backed down.

DEED OF HEROISM
 WINS CLEMENCY
Francis Kelly Captured By Spant
 iards In Santiago Battle

WASHINGTON, June 3.-An act of heroism when the collier Merrimac was sunk deliberately in Santiago har- bor by Lieut.. Richmond P. Hobson has won a presidential pardon on this, the twenty-sixth anniversary of the Merri- macs sinking, for Francis Kelly, an enlisted member of the crew, who was captured by the Spaniards when his ship was sunk.
 For his heroism Kelly was awarded congressional medal of honor and later honorably discharged. He then re- enlisted but in 1902, according to his application for pardon, was ''Shang- haied' and then spent 19 years seeking to return to the United States.
 His request for cIemeney on the technical charge of desertion was in- dorsed by Captain Hobson, his former and by Secretary Wilbur.

2 More Coolidge Men Added Directorate
 OfG. o. Contention
Warren Heads Resolution Group; Mondell Perma-
 ment Chairman
By RAYMOND CHAPTER Ey Leased Wire To Age.Herald.)

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The status of progressive republicans at the Cleve- land convention has been fixed defi- nitely as that of poor relations. They may come and partake of the inspira- tion, but it is hoped they will remem- Der their place when the refreshments are passed. There have been no un- kind words, no family scene. The pro- gressives have not been read out of the party-they have just been frozen out. The geographical west, but not the political west, will be represented.
 Republican senators are in some what the same category. Ledge and his bad little boys will not be allowed to eat turkey at Cleveland. They must sit on the rear seat with the progressive outcasts.
 The slate of convention functionaries just completed shows conclusively that this is to be the Presidents convention. The list was completed Tuesday when it was announced that the permanent chairman will be Frank W. Mondell of Wyoming, and the chairman of the , resolutions committee, Charles B. War ren of Michigan. Both are regular or ganization republicans of marked con servative leanings and, of course, neither is identified with the Senate. The Coolidge convention slate as now com pleted is:
 Temporary chairman: Repre-
 sentative Theodore E. Burton of
 Ohio.
 Permanent chairman: Frank w. MondelI of Wyoming. Chairman resolutions committee:
 Charles B. Warren of Michigan. To place President Coolidge in
 nomination: Dr. Marion Leroy
 Burton, president University of Michigan.
 To be chairman of republican
 national committee: William M.
 Butler of Massachusetts. Progressives will scan the list in vain for one of their tribe. All the Senate gets is an ex-senator in the per son of Representative Burton. He is pronounced conservative. Mondell, l who served in Congress many years, was castigated by. Theodore Roosevelt once for opposing progressive legisla- tion. Warren, before entering the dip lornatic service, was republican national l committeeman for Michigan, regular and survivor of the Newberry cam paign. He is now ambassador to Mex. leo and recently served at Tokio. Dr.

Burton is an educator of distinction and has never been active in politics. Butler is New England manufacturer who studied politics with Coolidge at the feet of Murray Crane.
 Lodge Is Out
 It will be observed that Lodge, per manent chairman of the 1920 conven- tion: Watson, chairman of the reso- lutions committee, and other senators who controlled that conclave do not appear on the Coolidge slate. They and all other senators have been rele- gated to the rear ranks. They do not even have real candidate in sight for the vice presidency now.
 The White House made known Tues day that Coolidge will not attempt to dictate the choice of a vice presidential nominee. It is his. convention and he is entirely willing to let the delegates pick the man. It is safe to say that no one unacceptable to Coolidge will be chosen.
 Most Often Mentioned
 Lowden and Hoover are most often mentioned. But sentiment has not crystallized around anyone. No pro- gressive is likely to be chosen now. To kidnap an insurgent, or even mild progressive, and set him down in the middle of such ring of stalwarts would be a somewhat ludicrous per formance. It would be obvious politics and obvious politics is bad politics.
 In fact, one of the sources of Cool idge's strength is his striking consis- tency. He plays his conservative role day and night and makes no effort to hide himself under a coat of another color. The warnings of his weaker advisers and of the rehellious insurg. ents alike have failed to move him q hair from the line he has described for himself. He refuses to fight under the Borrowed colors of a progressivism which he does not feel. This fact will furnish the key to much of his strat- egy during the coming contest.

HOUSE REJECTS
 FARM MEASURE
 BY 224 1a VOTE
Party Lines Break; South Joins East Against
 Bill

WASHINGTON, June 3-The McNary-Haugen farm relief bill was defeated today in the House.
 A last minute effort of its sup rorters to put through less dras- tic measure also failed.
 Reflection of the proposal left members of the Iyouse and Senate farm bloc in doubt as to what, if any, farm legislation could be rushed through if Congress ad- journed Saturday.
 Partly Lines Break
 The vote was 224 to 154.
 There was a sharp break in party lines in the voting, democrats and republicans from the middle and northwest rallying to the bilPs sup port, while members from eastern states, irrespective of party, and many southern democrats, opposed the bill.
 Sponsored by the agricultural depart ment the measure would have created g0vernmentJ corporation with capi- tai of $200, ,000, 900 to sell surplus farm products abroad. It proposed to in- crease prices paid the farmers, seeking to re-estabiiah the same ratio between the price of their commodities and some 400 general commodities as exist ed previous to the war.
 Propose Restriction
 Realizing thLt the measure as it stood would be defeated those who had been leading the fight for it agreed at the last moment to propose restriction of its scope in the hope of gaining votes.
 Representative Jones, democrat, Tex as, offered an amendment to limit ap- plication of the bill to wheat, flour, swine and products of swine, to reduce the corporations capital from $200,- 000,0 to $10O,00O, ,000, to limit the measures life to two, instead of five years and to give the president discre- tionary powers to put the proposal in operation. His substitute, however, was rejected.
 A compromise relief bill was imme- diately drawn at a conference of mem bers of the farm bloc in both the House and Senate which it was indi- cated had the endorsement of the White House.
 Modelled on the lines of the McNapy- Haugen bill, it would empower the war finance corporation to purchase eexportable surplus" of wheat and meat products, sell these abroad and meet the loss, if any, from the corporation's s present surplus of $161, 100000.
 The new bill will carry the "ratio price" section of the McNary -Haugen measure which would be invoked to determine when the corporation should enter the market. It is. to be intro duced in the House promptly it was stated. s

TURNS
 TOWARD HOME PORT
Great Dirigible Completes 1,1OO-
 Mile Trip Over New York State

NEW YORK, June 2. Sailing through the night, at an altitude so high that the sound of her powerful engines was muffled to those on the ground, the United States navy dirigi- ble Shanandoah, manned for the first time by an all-American crew, was to turn homeward early Wednesday morn ing, after a triumphal flight of HOO miles.
 The Shenandoah, under the command of Lieutenant Commander Zachary Lansdowne, and minus Capt. Anton Heinen, started early Tuesday from Lakehurst, N. J., on her first extended flight since she was torn from her mOorings in gale last January. She headed nOrthward up the Hudson to- ward Albany. Towering over the capi- tai city she delivered a radio mes sage from President Coolidge to Gov city on it's three hundredth anniversary.
 After a half hour over Albany the Shenandoah turned west toward Buff falo, passing over Utica at 3 :08 pm, over Syracuse at 4 20 and Rochester at 6:16. At all points people crowded into the streets to gain a glimpse of the silvery spectre.
 At. Buffalo the ship crossed over the NlaBra rlVer TOT OrleI IlgnI over Canadian soil.
 On her return voyage the Shenan- doah passed over Scranton, Pa, and was expected to arrive at Lakehurst by f o'clock Wednesday morning.
