LOUISVILLE, Ky, Nov. 6.-Two chains of mountains were ablaze to- night with the most serious forest fire that has ever swept that section of the state, says a special dispatch from Irvine, Estill county to The Courier Journal and the flames had reached within half mile of TOO crude oil storage tanks.
 A large force of fire fighters had been assembled, the report added, but it was expected that only a rain would stop the fires.

The family of John Henry. living on Owl Greek, had marrow escape, when flames swept down upon the house while they were asleep ~,t

LAPS SEE WAR
 WITH AMERICA
 OVER NAVYP PLAN
Fleet Maneuvers Near Hawaii Unfriendly Act,
 Paper States
lLeased Wire to Age.Heraldl

OSAKA, Japan, Nov. 6.-War be- tween the United States and Japan will be inevitable if the American navy maneuvers planned for January bring the Pacific fleet into the Hawaiian Is lands in fighting trim, according to a protesting editorial in the conservative vernacular newspaper Mainichi.
 "The purpose of the maneuvers doubtless is to study how to fight Ja- pan," the Mainichi says. 'The only point ,differentiating the maneuyers from actual warfare is that the fleet does not proceed to Hawaii direct from the Philippines. If the fleet should do this the maneuvers would be regarded as one of open hostility to Japan from the tactical point of view.
 Japanese suspicion toward the Unit ed States already is at climax and the untimely navy maneuvers make the matter worse. Preparation of the Amer ican navy in the Pacific last summer were detrimental to the strained rela- tions between the two countries. The Mainichi refers to the speech of Secretary Wilbur of the navy depart ment, who recently declared that cold steel would cool hot passion.
 After, detailing the preparations be- ing made for the occupation of Hawaii by the American fleet the Mainichi de- clares: Occupation of the Hawaiian group of islands by the American fleet will be regarded as indicating a bellicose spirit and the cruise of the fleet there in fighting trim would make war inev- itnble."

DUBLIN, Ga, Nov. 6.-Of- ficers in scores of south Geor- gia ,and Florida cities and towns have been asked to aid in the. search for E. T. Dom- iny, 21, young Laures county farmer, who was kidnapped by three men early today. Young Dominy was awakened early today by man who is said to have asked his assistance in repairing an automobile. Dominy's father was awakened and went with them. As they neared the car two more men jumped from it, seized the young man, thiew him into the automobile and sped away, leaving his father standing in the road.
 Expensive Car
 The elder Dominy describes the auto mobile as being of an expensive make and bearing Florida license. He was able to get the number, which he gave to the officers. He said the car was muddy and evidently had come long distance.
 Sheriff Lester Watson, of Laurens county, traced the car today to Hawkins vile, which is directly on the route to Florida. The father said his son evi- dently was gagged immediately as he made no outcry.
 Domestic Trouble Dominy and his wife lived in Florida several months and. it is said, recently became estsanged, he returning to his fathers home.

DISCUSS DROP
 NV POSTAL RATES
Post Office Representatives
 Meet With The President

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Proposals to reduce second-class postal rates were discussed at lengthy conference with President Coolidge at the White House Thursday, attended by Cyrus H. K. Cur Us, publisher; A. c. Pearson, chairman of the American Publishers conference, Postmaster General New, J. H. Stew art, of the post office department, and Representative Madden of Ill--,ois, chairman of the appropriations committee.
 Stewart has just completed for the poStoffice department an extended in vestigation into second-class rates, with the conclusion that the government is losing money, even at the present rates.
 Madden is opposed to a proposal to increase rates in order to secure money for a general boost in salaries of pos tai employees, and made his position clear in this respect at the conference. The publishers, it is understood, urged reduction in present second-class rates.

Secertary Of State Orders That All Ballots Be Carefully
 Preserved
fRx Associated Press.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 6.-Secretary of State w. c. Ramsay announced to the As sociated Press tonight that he had been advised by Demo cratic Committeeman Clyde L. Herring, that the United States senatorial race between Senator Smith w. Brookhart and his democratic opponent, Daniel Steck of Ottumwa, would be tested. He said that he had notified all county auditors in Iowa to exercise the greatest care in preserva, ton of the ballots as reported from the precincts prepara- tory to the official count to be started next Monday. .
 The secretary of state in his teie- gram to the county auditors declared that the race between Breokhart and Steck would be contested and that all records pertaining to the election should be guarded and carefully presedyed ana that. under no circumstances were the sealed envelopes containing the ballots tn he opened before the official count is started November l.
 May Reach Senate
 This is the first definite announce ment that has been made lndlcating that the contest might be carried into the United States senate where accord ing to leaders of both parties here, such contests are determined.
 MT. Steck came to Des Moines this afternoon from his home in Ottumwa anu immediately went into conference with national committeeman Herring and State Chairman B. J. Feuling ana others. Pi
 Alter the conference the conferees said they would make no announcement of their intended action at this time and indicated that they would await the results which probably will not be available until the end of next week before taking any definite steps.
 Has 118 Lead
 Senator Brookhart will return to Washington as .Iowa's junior senator unless the official canvass ot senatoriai votes cast in Tuesdays election, or re- count, upsets the result indicated Dy the unofficial reports.
 Tonight, with the unofficial count throughly re-checked, Senator Brook- hart led Daniel F. Steck, democrat 1,118, the smallest margin by which any republican candidate for major office was won in Iowa in many years. The total vote as compiled by the Asso- ciated Press was: Brookhart AT ,0Z5 Steck 46,407.
 Whether Steck will seek recount by the senate elections committee was prob lematical tonight. He had given little consideration to such move, he an nounced.
 The sudden disappearance of Steck's lead of four thousand when struggling rural and city precincts reported early today and the slow, steady gain oi Brookhart as the rechecking by county auditors progressed, held the undivided attention of both republican and demo- cratic party leaders throughout the day
 The Brookhart lead reached a bare 40 votes at 9 o'clock this morning amounted to approximately 1000 al noon and never thereafter decreased materially.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Federal Judge A. N. Hand threatened today to dismiss an indictment against nine former brok- CTS and consolidated stock exchange of ficials because it was drawn in "the most barbarous jargon of English" the judge ever had seen.
 He reeonsidered, however, and order ed the indicted men to trial on charges of conspiring to use the mails to de- fraud. Testimony concerning charges that the defendants also conspired to bucket orders would be barred because of the faulty indictment, Judge Hand announced.
 Shortly before dismissal of the whole indictment was sought by counsel for the defendants, and refused. Dewitt c. Raynor, senior member of the curb ex- change house of Raynor, Nicholas and Truesdell, which failed for $4,000, 900 in 1922, pleaded guilty to the charge of conspiracy.

Recommendation To Be Contained In Report
 To President MADDEN OFFERS
 NEW PROPOSAL Would Reduce Levy Auto- matically Whenever A
 Surplus Is Shown HARD-UP TREASURY IS DECLARED BASIS Constant Agitation For Econ omy Needed, Says Illinois
 Congressman
1eased Wire to Age.Herald)

Heased Wire to Age-Herald)
 WASHINGTON, Nov. G. Tax reduction, a welcome sub ject to millions of Americans, bobs up again, with the cleo tions over and the lineup in the new Congress settled. Talk of further reductions than those made last session has begun already.
 There were two starters here Thurs day, coming almost before the final returns had trickled in:
 1. A plan whereby surpluses in the treasury would be applied immediately to reduction of taxes, whenever they occurred, was suggested by Representa- tive Madden of Illinois, chairman Of the house appropriations committee.
 2. Word came from the treasury that Secretary Mellon will include a rec ommendation of the tax plan which bears his annual report to the Presi- dent.
 Madden plans to embody his idea in a bill which would require the treas-
 
 peared, and would empower the Presl- dent to reduce taxes automatically in the proportion of the surplus.
 Thereby the taxpayers would keep up a constant agitation for real gov ernment economy" Madden said. The way to save the governments money is to keep the government hard up.
 Early Action Improbable
 These opinions indicate the trend of thinking along taxation lines. The short session of congress hardly will touch taxation, but will confine itself to the numbers of appropriation bills which must be passed. This congress, at any rate, would not treat kindly any further suggestions for reductions along the lines laid down by Mellon.
 The President, however, in his annual message to the old congress in Decem- Der, is expected to present his views on taxation, and reiIerate his appeal for 8 reduction of surtaxes. He has stood straight through for the Mellon plan, and in his last address before election,,g to the chamber of commerce here, he again urged the necessity, as he sees itS' of cutting surtaxes to a lower figure.
 The President may call a special ses- sion of congress some time after March 4 to consider further reduction of taxes in keeping with the pledge he has made and not wait until the regular session beginning in December, 1925. His rec concentrations to the new congress, 1t IS believed, will embody a still further re- duction in the average mans taxes, with cut to perhaps 25 per cent. as maximum for surtaxes, now at 40 per cent.
 Attitude In Doubt
 The republicans, 1t Is true, have made gains in both house and senate, but whether these gains are of such charac- ter as to assure sympathetic treatment of recommendations for substantial re- duction in surtaxes still remains to be seen Even staunch administration mem- bers, like Floor Leader Longworth of Ohio would not follow the appeal of Mellon and Coolidge for cut of sur taxes to 25 per cent in the last congress.
