Chancellor Marx
Welcomes Dawes
and Other Experts

Berlin. Jan. 30.-(By A. p)-
Chancellor Mark summoned Briga-
der General Charles G. Dawes and
the other members of the fist ex-
perts committee investigating Ger
man resources, to the chancellory this
afternoon to convey to them Ger
manys official welcome. There were
present also Doctor Stresemann,
Minister of Foreign affairs, DR..
Hans Luther. minister of finance,
Eduard Hamm. Minister of economy.
and other cabinet members and gov

The chancellor assured General
Dawes that he and his associates in
the government as we'll as the Ger
man nationalists, whose opinions
and aid the committee might seek.
were wholly at their service. and
that every convention required to
facilitate the inquiry would be
available.
Responding for the committee Gen.
Dawes declared that unification of
the allies was indispensable for ac-
complishing solution of the
European economic crisis and repa
ration problems. and that such unity
also presupposed the utmost spirit
of cooperation on the part of Ger
many in the joint efforts to arrive
at an adjustment Of the postwar
issues under consideration.

CRISIS THREATENS
IN GREECE DUE TO
ILLNESS VENIzELQS

Athens. Jan. 80 (By A. P.)-The ILL
ness of Premier Venizelos has preci-
plated grave crises IN Greece, full
OF far-reaching eventualities exter-
nally and internally. The probabili-
ties that the NeniZelos government
is about to resign are increasing be-
cause of the premiers breakdown and
the insistence of the Republicans up
on having the national assembly de-
clare the Glucksburg dynasty abol-
ished against the determined stand
by Nenizelos that this question he
decided by a referendum.
The external threat is pointed to in
political circles as coming from Italy
and Jugoslavia, who 1t is feared will
adopt an antagonistic attitude If a
Republic is established other than by
n plebiscite.
The Republicans in control of the
army are understood to be planning
to suppress the royalist newspapers
which the Venizelos government per-
mitted to reappear today, and to deal
drastically otherwise with all oppo-
sition.
NJ. Kafanda:is, who is anti Repub-
lican, is considered the most probable
successor Of Venizelos, should the
latter resign.
The drachma showed n weakening
tendency today in a nervous exchange
market.

Gag Suffocated
Boston Man Thought
to Have Been Slain

Boston. Jan. 30-The police theory
that Alfred S. Fontes, East Boston
barber. was murdered in his home
last Monday night was shaken today
when Associate Medical Examiner
Brickley reported that Fontes had
been suffocated by a gag and did not
die of a fractured skull as at first
believed.
A further divulging of the contents
of note found at Fontes' feet
strengthened the supposition that the
mans assailants intended only to
Chastise him for some alleged mis-
deed. The note warned him against
the consequences of calling the police
when he awoke. and assailed him as
"a disgrace to the Portuguese race"
Examination of suspected persons
by detectives today proved fruitless.
but the police learned from Manuel
Fontes. the dead mans eldest son.
that he had passed two men on a
stairway leading to his fathers
apartment when he left him on the
fatal night and that he was sure he
could identify them. A clue which
led the inquiry TO Hartford. Conn.
proved valuelcss after investigation
today.

New British Premier
Seeks Conciliatory
Stand Toward France

London. Jan. 30.-(Py A. p)-Pre-
mier MacDonald's frank letter to Pre-
mier Poincare of France. in which he
expressed regret that Franco-British
relations We're not as cordial rs they
might be and advanced the hope that
France might adopt a conciliatory spir-
it. MAS the topic of animated discus
sion in political and governmental Cir
clcs today.
1t was said authoritatively that the
new Labor prime minister's letter may
be taken as the keystone of the future
foreign policy of the government. Mr..
Ma .ponald believes that free and open
negotiations along human, limeral, con-
ciliatory lines, will bring about settle
ment of the Ruhr. reparations> and
Pala innate questions and the reservation
of Europe quicker than the old-time
secret diplomacy with it's uncertain
ties. suspicious and delays.
While the word bold" may be too
strong an adjective to be applied to the
policy which Premier Macdonald is
expected to adopt toward France. it is
certain to be firm. frank and fearless.
This is evident. his friends say. by the
premier's candid statement to NJ. Poin-
care that British public opinion views
the French policy with certain degree
of suspicion and is apprehensive of
what is going to happen in Europe.
His supporters also point to the
prime minister's recent outspollen
utteranceS regarding India, in which
he warned the home rulers against
methods of force and his action in
calling conference of the Irish
Free State and Ulster government
heads on the difficult and delicate
boundary question which might
easily be proposed. These are cited
as examples of the Labor leaders,
determination to take firm line in
clearing up nj outstanding questions
at home and abroad.
OF all these questions. the unem-
ployment in England which has
caused such wides7~o~1 misery since
the armistice is naturally the closest
to the Labor premier's heart. He
is firmly convinced that settlement
of the European problems along the
broad humanitaricr lines suggested
in his letter to NJ. Poncare will do
more to relieve T, glands troubles
in other directions tran any other
formula.
His own initial contribution to
such European settlement. it is
pointed out. is his bold step in des-
troying the barriers between Great

ORDER U, S. CRAFT
TO REMAIN AT VERA
CRUZ FOR PRESENT

Washington. Jan. 30.-The light
cruiser Omaha and the six destroyers
accompanying her were ordered by the
navy department today to remain at
Vera Cruz until further orders.
The ships had previously been in
structed to rejoin the fleet in southern
waters and were expected TO start
south today. If they have started
south, Secretary DENLY said. they will
return at once to Vera Cruz.
Mr.. DENLY said the order directing
the ships to remain at Vera Cruz tenn
porarily was a precautionary measure
without. particular significance. He
would not further explain the change
in plans.
1t was recalled. however. that state
department advices both from Vera
Cruz and Mexico City during the day
reported the capture of EspcranZa by
federal forces and that the Obregon
troops were closing in on Orizaba. 1t
appeared possible that the American
warcraft had been instructed to remain
in the vicinity of Vera Cruz because
Of the possibility of military opera
tions between federal and rebel forces
in that vicinity following the federal
victory on the Vera Cruz line.
In that event the Washington gov
eminent would desire to have warcraft
in the region to look out for the inter-
est of American nationals during the
struggle.

Provision Voted by Republican
Members of House Ways and
Reconsideration Might Go
as High as 25 Per Cent
Would Mean Saving to Tax
Payers of S225,000,000

Washington, Jan. 30.-Income tax
payers would receive q reduction in
their 1923 taxes payable this year
under a provision voted today by Re-
publican members of the house ways
and means committee.
The amount of reduction has not
yet been determined, but Chairman
Green. author of the proposal, said
it might be as high as % per cent
1t would apply to the taxes after
they have been computed and to all
personal income tax payers. Treasury
experts estimated that a % per cent
cut would mean saving to tax pay
ers of $225.O0O,O00.
Mr.. Green explained the reduction
was aimed at immediate relief,
whereas application of the rates in
both the Mellon and Garner plans
would begin on this years taxes.
The action was the first taken on
new income rates which the Repub-
lican members of the committee de-
cided today to write themselves and
put through in committee by a ma
Jority vote.
Representative Hull of Tennessee,
a member Of the committee and
chairman of the Democratic national
committee. announced tonight that
Democratic members of the commit
tee had intended to present a similar
proposal but in the form of a joint
resolution which could have been
taken before the house and senate
for action before March Is, when the
first installments on last years taxes
are due.
Under the plan adopted today the
reduction will be made q part of the
revenue bill. If it is approved after
March 10, Mr.. Green said, provision
will be made to allow refund on
those taxes already paid.
Prior to the meeting of majority
members, the full committee has con-
sidered further technical details of
the revenue bill. but Chairman Green
adjourned the committee subject to
call when it reached the income
rates. the heart of the tax revision
program.

bers to write their own income rates

Washington, Jan. 30.-Af.irmative

the naval oil leases was initiated to-
day while the senate still was en-

Although it failed to reach n final

measure over until tomorrow.
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat.

ber 1921, that it would be legal to
enter into contract with the
Doheny interests for the construc-
ton of tankage at Pearl Harbor,
Hawaii. in conjunction with their
lease of the California reserve.
Demands for the resignation OF
Secretary DENLY for his part in the
oil leases were renewed in the SEN
ate, while Senator Robinson of Ark
ansas, the Democratic leader, stated
privately that he would press his
resolution for such resignation at the
first opportunity.
The senate oil committee was told
by four physicians that the present
condition of former Secretary Fall

at a public hearing. but the COM
mittce decided to appoint n medical
commission Of its own to examine

Britain May Soon
Recognize Oregon
Government in Mexico

London, Jan. 30.-(By a. P)-
Negotiations looking to the recogni-
ton of the Obregon government in
Mexico by Great Britain are expect
ed to begin soon. Preliminary dis
cussions concerning the creation of
special committees to proceed to
Mexico and inquire into the claims
of British subjects who suffered
property losses through resolutions
and other causes have already
taken place between foreign Office
officials and Rafael NieZo. Mexican
minister to Sweden, who at Presi-
dent Obregon's instance is in Lon
don to seek an understanding with
the new Labor government.
Premier Macdonald is understood
to favor the resumption of normal
relations with Mexico as in the
case of Russia. but desires certain
assurances that the rights and pro-
perty holdings of British citizens
resident in Mexico will be respected,
and that the present Mexican cabi-
net has the full confidence Of the
country.
