ON. MELLON
RENEWED
Democratic Senators Angry
Over Rebuke Given in
Coolidge Message.
By H. X. REYNOLDS,
international News Service.


Smarting, under what they
termed the singing rebuke" of
the Senate by President Coolidge,
Democratic leaders announced To-
day that they would wage a finish
fight to continue the investigation
of Secretary of the Treasury Mel
lon and his Bureau Of Internal
Revenue.
Minority LaSheS Back.
Not only did the minority chiefs
resent the Presidents attack on the
inquiry launched by. Senator Cou-
zens RepA of Michigan, but they
charged Aat the Administration
had gone n record as challenging
the very ower and authority Of
Congressional committees" in max
ing investigations.
One of those who was particu-
Arly up. in arms was Senator
Thomas j. Walsh Dem.) of Mon
tana, who believes that, without
naming him, the President has criti-
ciZed his conduct Of the investiga-
ton of naval oil reserves.
Renewing his own attack on the
Secretary of the Treasury in the
face of intimations that Mellon will
quit the Cabinet If Government by
investigation" does not stop, Sem

for an investigation of
MELONS, eligibility to hold office.
The resolution has been permitted
to rest ON the table at the sugges-
ton of Senator Robinson Of Arkan-
sas and other Democratic leaders.
Republicans Are Cheered.
The Presidents special message,
Mellon and criticizing the
Senate, was received enthusiastically
by Administration Senators, who
felt that they were henceforward
to get real help from the White
House in their campaign TO turn
the Senate from investigating to
e. Senator Watson Rep.) of Indiana,
who had proposed the hating OF lac
COuzens inquiry before the Presi'
dents message was delivered. de-
scribed Mr.. Coo1idge's attitude as "a
master stroke" while the insurgert
Republicans and Democrats were
quick to deny that Senator Couzens
was actuated by personal motives
alone in his assaults on Mellon and
the Treasury Department.
Fireworks were promised when
the fight opens in the Senate, prob
ably today, on the resolution Of SEN
ator Jone4 Dem) of New Mexico
authorizing the Couzens committee
to employ special counsel to assist
in the Internal Revenue probe.
The committee, over the protests
of Senator Watson, who Is the COM
mittee chairman, has already hired
Francis J. Heney of California as
special counsel, his salary to be paid
by CouZens.
1t was over the Heney incident
that Watson and Couzens fell out
and it was also the immediate cause
of the sharp call down which the
President gave the whole Senate.

Full Airing

Major Daniel Sullivan today order.
ed Inspector Harry L. Pratt to make
Il thorough investigation of the fir
ing of revolver by Detective Ogle,
of the Fourth precinct. in an at
tempt to arrest a fleeing drug ad-
dict, at Four-and-a-Half street and
Maryland avenue southwest, late
yesterday afternoon.
Michal M. Shugrue, secretary to
Senator Samuel M. Shortridge Of
California, was passing the inter.
section in an automobile at the

of the car.
Major Sullivan said today that
he was doing all in his power Ito
curb promiscuous shooting on the
streets, whether by officers of the
law or by civilians"
Greene Case Cited.
Yesterdays case was heightened
in interest because of the recent
serious wounding of Senator Frank
L. Creme of Vermont during a
shooting fray between prohibition
agents and bootleggers on upper
Pennsylvania avenue.
Major Sullivan today pointed out
the provision in the police manual
which states that members of the
force shall not use their revolvers
except in the most urgent cases,
and then only in such a manner
as will not jeopardize the lives of
innocent persons"
Inspector Pratt reported today
that he had talked with Mr..
Shugrue, who complained that De.
tective Ogle used abusive language
when he was questioned about fir.
ing in the street. According to the
investigator. this was Mr.. Shugrue's
principal grievance.
Chasing Drug Addict.
Ogle claim. that he was chasing
a man known to the police as a
drug addict, after a supposed pur-
chase of narcotics, said Pratt. The
fugitive, in running, made a sup.
posedly threatening gesture toward
his hip pocket, and Ogle fired twice.
Inspector Pratt probably will make
a complete report Monday.

nights green edition Of The Times,
It was Incorrectly stated that the

orably reported to the Senate today

and only Senator King Dem.) of

Leaks Are frightened.
Smoot said that the committee
was particularly jealous in tighten
ing up the present law to prevent
avoidance of income tax payments.
1.-THE committee approves certain
amendments to the income tax law
contained in the House bill to stop
the methods of avoidance which are
now being commonly availed OF by
taxpa yers. ....
81. The provisions of the re-or-
ganization section of the present law
have been rewritten to prevent the
use of the section to escape proper
taxation by increasing the basis for
depreciation or depletion or by in.
creasing the basis for determining
gain or loss from the sale of assets
transferred in connection with a re-
organization or by distributing as
capital gains what are in effect
dividends out Of earnings.
"2-Where the grantor of a trust
retains the power of revocation the
income OF the trust Is to be taxed
to him. !
"3-The penalty imposed by Sec
ton 220 upon corporations availed
of to avoid the imposition of sur
taxes on the stockholders is now
based upon all the income Of the
corporation which would be taxed in
the hands Of an individual, and the
presumption is created that any in.
vestment company is availed of for
the purpose of avoiding the lmposi-
ton Of surtaXes on stockholders. In
addition, the penalty Is increased
from % per cent to so per cent"
Smoot said he would demand that
the Senate begin consideration If
the bill on Wednesday.
The report on the Democratic tax
substitute will be ready Monday or
Tuesday, Senator Simmons (D.l Of
North Carolina announced.
