Mellon Savagely
Attacks Garner
Tax-Cut Program
Declares Democratic Plan |,
political and Nothing
Else"-Brands Unscien-
tific Proposal.
By international News Services.


Washington. Jan. IA savage at
tack ON the democratic plan of tax
reduction. designed as a substitute
for his own program. was made to-
night by Secretary Of the Treasury
Andrew w Mellon.
THE plan is political and nothing
else" he asserted.
The democratio plan was written
by Pepresentative John NJ. Garner
Of Texas. and has the united support
Of the democrats in congress. II pro
yides for greater cuts on taxation OF
small incomes and smaller cuts on
large incomes than Mellon proposed
in mis- program ani leaves the maxi
mum surtax at IA per cent.
Secretary Mellon attacked the
Garner plan as "unscientific" and de-
clared it had been drawn irrespective
OF the general economic good. After
discussing the plan at some length
in a formal statement, he paid his
respects to the democratic substitute
in these words:
I'VE come now to the fundamental
DtANttn iAcl . HAoAA
and the treasury bill. His is a make
shift. the treasury plan is the result
of experience and study. His seeks
popularity by offering a small direct
saving to most taxpayers: the trea-
sury bill is fair to all classes. His
is not intended to be effective on the
economic side of taxation: the trea-
sury bill is designed to free capital
and TO benefit not only the individuals
who pay taxes direct, but every per.
son in ths country who must pay
these taxes in every purchase.
1T is the difference between a
political method OF handling tax re.
duction and a business method"

i. S. Consul.

Childlikc Faith of Represen'

Runaway City Clerk 10
Escape.
Nov on His Way to Italy

The simple trust and childlike faith
of the United States consul at Cher
bourg, France, has permitted Claude
Bessie, Omahas runaway city clerk,
to slip away from the wife he aban-
doned in Omaha to run off with an
other woman.
The consul had Instructions from
the State department in Washington
to cancel the passports of Bessie and
wife" on the ground that they had
been obtained fraudulently and that
the wife" who went to Europe with
him on the Majestic was not his
wife for the reason that Mrs. Bessie
is in Omaha.
According to Associated Press dis
patches, Consul Corrigan boarded the
Majestic on its arrival at Cherbonrg
from New York. lie found Mr.. Bos-
sic and informed him Of his instruc-
tions from the State department.
Hook, Line and Sinlser.
Bessie, thereupon. showed the con-
sui a marriage certificate dated Oma-
ha, December 21, stating that he had
married Miss Emma M. Wamsley of
Redlands, Cal, and stated that the
woman with him was the same.
whereupon the consul evidently
apologized for intruding and allowed
the pair to land without further ado.
And he sent report to the State
department. the dispatch adds, ex-
planning that it was all a mistake
and that whoever notified the depart
ment to have the pair stopped was
evidently unaware that Bessie was
divorced six months ago and had
right to marry again.
All of which Is untrue, rs the con-
sui Is due to find out in due season.

Herbert Stubbendorf, marriage H.

to Geographic request from Washing

SEA GIVES UP BODY OF
CAPTAIN LOST AIRCRAFT
Fate of French DiriqibIe Still a Mys-
terry; Entire Crew of so
Probably Lost

Paris.-Italian fishermen, hauling in
their nets at the close of day six miles
off the island of Sicily, brought to the
surface a body that has been identi-
fled in Rome as the body of Lieutenant
Gu Pressis de Grenadan, commander
of the i'll fated dirigible Dixmude, the
giant lighter han air French naval
craft that for more than a week has
been missing and was believed to have
been floating, helpless, in upper air
strata.
"The Dixmude is lost beyond return,
but we have not yet given up hope of
finding some survivors, said an Off
cha spokesman for the French minis
try of marine, a high ranking officer,
following receipt of the news that fish
ermen had found the body of Lieuten-
ant de Grenadan, commander of the
dirigible. 'sThis department." he said,
twill continue to make every effort to
search every nook and corner of the
north African wilds and to inspect
every mile of water between Sicily and
the Gulf of Gabes before all hope is
abandoned"
Further details have not reached Of
ficial circles in Paris, other than those
contained in the brief kilograms telling
of the discovery by fishermen off
Sciacia, Sicily, of the body of Lieut..
du Plessis de Grenadan, commander
of the missing dirigible. The ministry
of marine, however, is confident that
with the arrival at Sciacia of the
French naval attache from Rome, the
mystery will be, at least partially,
solved.
The officials are convinced that I'M
less the commander was killed in a
sudden accident before striking the
water, he will have about his person
the log of the Dixmude, or at least
written notes which will explain the
lack of advices from the craft since it
was last heard from, just a week ago,
when a radio message gave its position
at 100 kilometers southeast of Toug-
COURT, in Algeria.
