MOVE TO END GREEK
DYNASTY AR0USES
FEELING IN ATHENS

Athens, Jan. % (By A. PA
measure was introduced in the ma
tional assembly tonight declaring the
Glucksburg dynasty-the reigning
house-forfeited. Owing to the tur-
bulent scenes which this action pro-
voked the house was adjourned until
Friday without reaching n vote.
The measure was presented by the
Republican leader. after Premier
Venizelos, addressing tho assembly
for the first time in his new Office,
aroused a storm of applause by de-
claring that the Greek people had
ceased to believe in the necessity for
a dynasty, and there was no foreign
obstacle to n republic.
The procedure aroused many OF
the deputies and the session became
partially disorganized. The specta-
tors in the galleries joined with the
deputies in abusing royalty. Veni-
zeios frequently interviewed in the
interest of order and eventually the
session came to an end.

DEMOCRATS SHY Of COMPROMISE
OFFER REPUBLICANS ON TAX BILL
MINERS MEETING IN
/ ROW 0 Y E R NOVA
SCOTIA SITUATION

Indianapolis. Ind. Jan. % (By A.
P.)-Cries of Lets go home" and
We're done" by radicals tonight
ended the second days session Of the
United Mine Workers convention.
Radical delegates had mustered only
421 votes. for their proposal to rein
state the deposed district officials of
Nova Scotia. The vote was on their
demand for a roll-call, for which
eighty per cent is necessary and it
failed by about l50- votes.
President John L. Lewis had lust
concluded defense of his action in
dissolving the Nova Scotia charter,
which had been commended in a re-
port by the resolutions committee,
read by Percy Tetlow, international
representative at Charlestown, w.
Va. and the vote was on a motion
to concur in the committees report.
y howl of derision arose from ad-
mlnIstration supporters, at the small
showing OF hands held up by the
fadlcals IN demanding counting.
While President Lewis passed from
the stage. still breathing hard from
the eXertion of his strenuous attack
on the former Nova Scotia officials of
District Number 26, Vice President
Philip Murray too. the chair. He
pounded for order without effort for
ten minutes while the radicals con-
tinued their threats of walkout, and
cries of Wen remember you, Phil
lin ffar tho ne ha
count of only 421 votes for a roll call,
he recognized Secretary William
Green for announcements and then
yelled that he convention was ad-
journed.
Still muttering imprecations radical
delegates left the hall.
Resolutions from eighteen differ
ent locals, demandin3 reinstatement
OF former President Dan Livingstone,
and Secretary James McLachlan of
Nova Scotia. were Jumped in one
and condemned in the committees
report.
Taking the floor President Lewis
made the only speech He charged
that the officials of Nova Scotia. its
international beard members and it's
entire district board had violated
nearly, every provision of the unions
constitution and had given adherence
to the "red international of Russia"
rather than to tho United Mine
workers of America.
FThis McLachlan whom you style
noble and courageous McLachan in
yotr child's talk. is one who saddled
81 per cent reduction in wages on
the miners of Nova Scotia" Presi-
dent Lewis declared.
and he is the one who inspired
1880 miners of Nova Scotia to ap-
ply to the Red Trade Union Inter-
national for charter and used sta
tionery of the United Mine Workers
of America on which to carry on red
propaganda.
what if I had recommended n 81
per cent reduction in 1922? How
many resolutions would we have
calling me noble and courageous?
Our trouble with Nova Scotia is of
long standing. We have not been
strict with them, but overlooked
many of their violations. Even though
they placed the $4,000 anthracite
miners. their wives and families in
jeopardy. and dishonorably violated
their joint agreement"

UNABLE TO SHAKE TESTIMONY
POTTER|N TRIAL ANTI-SAL00N
LEAGUE SUPT. FOR FORGERY

New York, Jan. 23.-William H.
Anderson. state superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League. gave writ
ten instructions FOR the transfer on
the organizations books of financial
transactions which form the basis of
the forgery charge against him, a
jury before Supreme Court Justice
Tompkins was told today.
The testimony was offered by Will
liam NJ. Potter, former assistant
treasurer and head bookkeeper of
the League. who identified note
instructing him to make the trans
fer as having been signed by the
league head in March, 1921. Potter
further testified that Anderson had
paid to himself $3.S15 in checks
which he had ordered drawn against
the salary account of o. Bertsall
Phillips, former fund solicitor for
the league, who accused Anderson
of having compelled him to split"
his collection commissions in excess
of $4,000 annually.
Potter's sensational testimony
from which he could not be shaken
throughout n severe grilling by for
mer Governor Whitman, chief OF
Anderson's counsel. closed the
states case. Whitman then made
the customary motions that the jury
be instructed to return a verdict of
not guilty and that the forgery in
dictment be quashed. Both were de-
MED, Justice Tompkins holding that
he considered the prosecution to
have made out a case against the
defendant.
The defense will begin presenta-
tiolr of its case tomorrow morning.
Potter's testimony under direct
examination of Assistant District At
torney in charge of the prosecution,
was largely in confederation of
statements made on the stand yes
terday by Phillips. and as he had
done in the case OF Phillips. Mr..
Whitman made a vigorous attempt
to tear down the creditability of Pot
ter's statements. He asked Potter
If a money consideration had not
induced him to dispose of his book
store in McAllin, Tex, TO return to
New York to appear as a witness
against Anderson. Potter replied in
the negative.
Potter testified that he had re-
monstrated with Anderson at the
time he directed him to make out
two checks totalling $3.50 against
Phillips salary in 1920. saying he
suggested that the checks be drawn
in the collectors name and Endorsed
over to Anderson by him. Ander-
son refused. he said. and he COM
piled. Phillips previously had testi-
fed that these. checks represented
the 1920 commission split" which
Anderson had paid to himself"
Phillips told me that he had re-
ceived only $14,40O from the league
that year." Potter testified. 80 l
took the matter up with Anderson.
I told him that from his manner.
Phillips had given me he impression
that he had been forced to split his
commissions with some one. Ander-
son nodded. said nothing for a mo-
ment, and then announced he would
let me know about 1t later"
Later that same day. Potter tes-
tilted, Anderson sent him a signed
order directing that he transfer on
the league books S4.400 from Phil
lips salary account to the collectors
expense account.

men said they were to deliver 1t nj
the estate of Charles S. Mellen, for
mer president of the New York, New
