u. s. INVESTIGATES
 SINKING OF SHIP
Captain Reports Sending Cargo Of Liquor To
 Bottom
(By Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25.-Cap- tain J. Hall, of the steam yacht Giulia, under Panama registry; and 12 other members of the crew, arrived here today on the steamer Brookings, which picked up the crew in small boats yesterday off the California coast. Federal officials are Investigating the story of Captain Hall that the shortage of coal and the presence of cargo of contraband liquor prompted him to open the seacocks of the Giulia when he saw the Brokings, as he did not want to be forced to land at an American port.
 The Giulia was 15 miles from shore when she was sunk. The life boats in which the men were found contained 20 small firearms, and Captain Louis Prendle of the Brookings forced the Giulia survivors to throw the arms over board before he would take them on the Brookings.
 Officials also are investigating a report that there had been a fight on board the Giulia and that the vessel was de- stroyed to hide evidence of this battle. The life boats were seven miles off shore when they were picked up. Prendle said Hall told him he had 400 cases of whisky on board, and rather than jettison this cargo and refuel his ship at an American port, he decided to sink her.

Coolidge and Dawes.
 Tn England today the conservatives and liberals are cooperating to check the rise of radicalism," he said. We are going to have to do the same thing in this country, and the sooner. we dc it the better.
 If the conservative, sensible, pa triotic democrats of Tennessee are con vinced that Davis cannot carry the east and that La Toilette may win a dan. gerous number of electoral votes in the west, they can render no higher service to their country than to throw the cleo toral vote of Tennessee to Coolidge and Dawes.
 If the party labels were all de stroyed and all our patisan recollec- tions Obliterated, 1 believe there are a number of things upon which an over whelming majority of the people oi Tennessee could agree.
 We could agree that Calvin Coolidge is making the United States a gooC president that he is one-hundred pel cent typical American, and that we would not be afraid to entrust oul government in his hands for the next four years.

 l AKIN, Md, Oct. 25-On his arrival here today for a weekend rest Senator Robert M La Toilette, independent cam Aidate for president, issued a statement b which he declared that 'sthe inf0rma- ion regarding taxes paid by income tax payers which has already been publish "a in the newspapers is a complete Justification of the long fight that has been made by the pr0gressives to open lax returns to public inspection"
 Mir. LaFollette also made public a |tathent by him to Senator Thomas J. 'Valsh, democrat, Montana, advocating e-eIection of the prosecutor" of the enate oil inquiry.
 f'The qualifications of these lists is nerely, the first step in clearing up. the widespread tax lodging which has been permitted by democratic and republi- an administrations" the senator said. We mean to find out the methods which Harry F. Sinclair used to evade pun shment of income taxes upon his real Income. We already know some of the nethod. We know that the Hyva cor boration, the book of accounts of which Binclair refused to produce before the enate investigation committees, was ne of his schemes for evading taxes, as yell as covering up corrupt transactions. By this device, Sinclair sought to pay he corporation tax of 1211a per cent, in- tead of the super tax, which should properly be imposed upon his income.

.'AMAGE SUITS MAY FOLLOW
 TAX PUBLICITY
Courts To Decide Legality Of Publishing Income
 Returns

| WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Final decision on the greatest bit of confu- lion in the history of American taxa If income tax payments-probably will Iome only through court action.
 Officials of the treasury department Idmitted today that this course offered The only most certain possibility of defi- lite action and indicated it would come Is soon as collectors or internal reve- Hue officials reported violations of the law. Section 3164 of the revised Ytatutes directs collectors to report ap- parent infractions of the law to the dearest United States district attorney within 30 days. In a short time, 1t IS dxpected, one or more collectors will leport that the law has been violated ,ly newspaper publication. of the tax figures.
 M Official Contradictory n In this manner a court decision will Ne precipitated and it will be deter ained whether Congress, in enacting he publicity section of. the tax law, Intended to authorize newspaper pubii- |1ation of the figures. Meanwhile, 1reasury officials either are vague or lontradictory in their own views ot the Mutation.
 It is a matter of interesting specu- Nation what form the test of the pub bcity law would take. Newspapers in |4ll parts of the country have published figures showing taxes paid by various lsdiyiduals. It would be difficult for | its to be brought against all the newspapers which were classed as of Tenders. The court action probably would be directed against only one or a group of newspapers. I h the first instance. It could result ilfther from the complaint of revenue Collector, or from some individual who lecided to test the publication of his Tax payment.

 LONDON, Oct. 25.-England's lat est poison pen" mystery remains un- solved.

 The jury was sworn, but the prose cutor arose and announced he did not intend to offer evidence. The judge ordered the jury to return formal verdict of mot guilty"
 < Girl Near Collapse
 Miss Thurburn, in state bordering on collapse, embraced her mother and walked from the court room, leaving as deep as ever the mystery which has alienated friendships and broken up homes in Sheringham over period of three years.
 It was in January, 1921, shortly after the Thurburn girl joined the girl scouts, that anonymous letters began to arrive attacking the leaders of the organiza- tion. In October, 1921, Miss Thorburn resigned from tine scouts. In April, 1922, anonymous letters be- gan to circulate through the town. Tn October of the same year, Miss Thurburn complained to a neighbor she herself was receiving such letters. No person inf Sheringham escaped suspic- ion as the author of the letters, which heartlessly attacked men, women and children.
 The Postal authorities and the police kept watch for the poison pen" let. ;ers, but it was not until October 1923 that policeman alleged he saw Miss Thurburn drop three letters into mail box. The box being opened immediately, three of the obscene letters were found

The fact that the Washington club. with the great Walter Johnson as it's outstanding star. is to have it's first try at B worlds title, and that the rule of New York in the baseball world has been at least partially overthrown, will add te the interest in the series.

Six weeks before his message was re- ceived he advised the legislators, in his inaugural address against the calling of fhe convention.

 The Town, Were First
 When. in 1903. or ten years after the constitutional convention was held. the membership of the senate was increased from twenty-four to thirtv-fye by Republican legislature, the increase was recognized as a con- cession to the cities. l. increased Hartford's representation Tn the gen. eral assembly from three to five, and New Haven's from three to six. 9th CT cities were treated in a manner that was similarly fair. IL was em- phasized that the senate was the rop- ular body and not the house. The great disparity between the member ship of the house and that of the sen ate made the designation unacceptable to some and absurd to others.
 There is much to hefsaid in favor of recognizing the towns as govern mental entities and electoral units. each town being entitled to a separate representation. and one does not leave himself open to the charge of being a reaetienarv in subscribing Co that rec ognition. As a matter of fact the proposition has historical basis. The three original towns-Hartford. Wind sor and Wethersfield-ha an exist ence and each had governmental system before the colony was formed. Indeed these towns were the origin of the colony. But of course historical origin cannot be allowed to stand in the v'a- 6f nrocress or in the redress ing of grievances. But. after all, the main question Is. is there need for change that will give the eenters Of nonula'ien control of the house? The statement that the cities suffer be- cause of the rredomInance of the towns Is erroneous. There Is net a city in the state which IS denied the legislation which fl needs for it's mu- nicipal development by the hostility of the representatives of the towns in the state.
 All that the cities are required to do Is to show good reasons for the leg isiation to assure the acquiesenee of the towns The cities are essential to the towns in providing markets for farm produce and the towns benefit ty their growth and prosperity, The towns would not be acting nj fheir own interests by doing anything to prevent the municipal development of the cities. The question has two sides. and 1t Is just as well to leoa at both.
