CLARK SELLS
NEW MAGAZINE
''Follyology" Is Disposed Of
To Eastern Syndicate

"Follyology", the new magazine
launched by Sam H. Clark about a
year ago has been sold to New York
magazine syndicate, according to an
nouncement made by Mr.. Clark. "Fol-
lyology" was published by the Clark
Publishing Company formed for that
purpose, in Minneapolis. The New
York syndicate will continue the pub
lication, featuring especially moving
picture news and adding an advertis-
ing section. Mr.. Clark, in his an
nouncement, said that "Follyology"
had attained wide distribution and
circulation, but that he had other
plans under way that prevented him
giving "Follyology' his personal at
tention and therefore he disposed aof
it.
"Follyology" always was conducted
separate from "Jim Jam Jems,"
which is unaffected by the change.

Government Counsel Plan To

Matter Another Way

Cheyenne, Wyo., Mar. 16-Evidence
intended to reveal the secrets of the
bank accounts of Albert B. Fall,
former Secretary of the Interior,
was barred from the record in the
Teapot Dome Lease annulment suit
here today.
The ruling handed down by Fed
eral Judge T. Balek Kennedy, de-
prived the Government Of it's only
known means of attempting to prove
an exchange Of Liberty bonds be-
tween Fall and Harry F. Sinclair
whose Mammoth Oil Company was
given the lease on the big Wyoming
oil reserve.
Judge Kennedy in his decision re-
ferred to the matter in question as
involving something of unusual inn
portance to the plaintiffs case, but
that as the matter stands, it is mani
festly incompetent and will be bar
red until such time as it is shown to
be competent.
Judge Kennedy's ruling left the
Governments case up in the air SO
completely that recess of ten min
utes was allowed to permit Owen j.
Roberts and Atlec Pomerene, Gov
ernment counsel, to get their remain
ing witnesses in shape.
After recess, Attorney Roberts an
nounced that he would reverse the
procedure previously followed in an
attempt to show the alleged passage
Of bonds between Sinclair and Fall
by tracing the bonds from Sinclair
to Fall instead of from the. former
Secretary to the head of the Man,

fore had warned Roberts that he was

GOFF FIRST SPEAKER
West Virginia Senator Opens
Debate on the Floor:
of Senate
GOFF FIRST SPEAKER

Washington, March 16.--(By the
A. P0-The Senate today rejected
| for second time the nomination of
Charles B. Warren to be Attorney
General.
The vote was 46 to 80, compared
with the tie vote, 40 to 40, on which
the nomination was first rejected
last Tuesday.
President Coolidge has announced
he will offer Mr.. Warren a recess ap-
pointment but the nominee has not
indicated whether he will accept.
Everyone ,of the 80 Senators vot-
ing for confirmation were Republi-
cans. The opposition was a combina-
tion of Democrats and Republican
insurgents.
Those voting against confirmation
included: Frazier and Ladd. Repub-
licans, North Dakota, and Shipstead,
Farmer-Labor. Minnesota.
The votes gained by the opposition
today were those of Senator Dill,
Edwards. Gerry. kendrick, and Smith,
Democrats, and Howell and LaFol-
lette, Republicans. The administra-
tion forces gained the vote of Sena-
tor Lenroot. Republican, Wisconsin,
but lost that of Senator Reed, Re-
publican, Pennsylvania, who are pair
ed with Senator McMaster. Senator
McMaster previously voted against
confirmation. The administration al
so lost the vote Of Senator Overman,
Democrat, North Carolina, who last
Tuesday voted for confirmation but
was paired today in opposition to the
nomination.
After actinG.on the nomination the
Senate held a short executive session
and then adjourned to noon tomor-
row. Some Senator'S have threaten
ed to prolong the session in order to
prevent the President from, making a
recess appointment.
The gathering Of spectators ap-
proximated the scenes of an inau-
guration day. Several hundred per-
sons, mostly women, lined the cor
ridors or sat on the stairs near the
public galleries long before the doors
were opened and rushed for seats Of
vantage as soon as they could gain
admission.
Special Gallery
The special gallery for Senator's
families was also filled early and
many members of the House of Rep
resentatives who had floor privileges
took seats at the rear of the Senate
chamber. When the session was
called to order nearly the entire
membership was on the floor. Those
present included a number of SEN
ators who had been away when the
roll was called last Tuesday. Among
them was Senator LaFollette just
back from vacation in Florida.
The debate was opened by Senator
Goff, Republican, West Virginia,
who in his maiden speech in the
Senate, said he would be derelict if
he did not defend a man so fit for
the office as Mr.. Warren.
Senator Reed, Missouri, agreed
with the West Virginia Senator that
"Mr. Warren had been faithful to
his trust" and added 'but his trust
was the sugar trust"
He then declared Mr.. Warren had
represented the "sugar trust as late
as 1922"

Was Used as a Cloak For
The Criminal Operations Of
the Band, Which Was AL

sible for Many Bank and
Store Robberies Through
out North Dakota

Frank Morrison, aged AZ. charged
with completely in the robbery of
the postoffice at Garrison in Janu-
ary, 1924, when approximately $1,1O0
in stamps and cash was stolen, was
found guilty by jury in federal
court here Saturday afternoon. Garri-
son was Immediately sentenced by
Judge Andrew Miller to serve Is
years in prison at Leavenworth, Kan
sas.
Morrison is alleged by government
operatives to have been one of a
gang which operated extensively in
the northern part of the state.
The governments chief witness
was James Riley, who operatedSa big
farm 10 miles south of Minot as a
cloak to criminal operations, it was
alleged by the government. Riley,
on the witness stand, admitted TAX
ing part i'm the Garrison robbery
and involved Morrison. The gang
was broken up last August when five
men were arrested in Minot, govern.
ment operatives said. One other
member went to prison for Is years,
two others were let go, and Riley
has state charge pending against
him. He was not, however, arrested
with the gang.
Morrison had already spent eight
years in prison, in Montana and in
Canada. He resisted the charge, and
was represented by attorneys.
Morrison, it was alleged, left the
Riley farm last January, drove to
Garrison, looted the postoffice of
about $500 in stamps and about $500
in currency, and returned to the
farm at night.
The breaking up of the gang marks
the finish of the last of a gang. of
yeggs which have operated extern
sively in North Dakota in the last
two years, government operatives
say.
Exploits of Gang
The exploits of the gang became
widely known when Sheriff Spcher

Dougherty rounded up the ring lead
ers.
Sheriff Spicher, here for the trial.
related how the gang stole automo-
biles, robbed banks, stores and other
places of business throughout North
Dakota. They would take automo-
biles to the Lee farm south of Minot,
change the numbers, paint them and
dispose of them, he declared. An
elaborate plant was maintained for
the changing of the numbers on stol-
en- automobiles and for repainting
them.
The yextent Of the gangs depreda-
tions are not entirely known. They
were suspected Of completely in a
score of bank robberies, including
the Halliday, Krem, Sanger, and Car

REDUCTION, SEEN

Washington, Mar. 16.-The outlook
for reduction of $500, 100000 in the
nations taxes for the fiscal year
1926 is "now favorable" Chairman
Green of the house ways and means
committee, said yesterday, adding
that he saw nothing to prevent" re-
ducing the maximum surtax to Is
per cent, and general lowering OF
all other income rates."
ut is the Intention" he asserted
"to have the new tax law passed in
time to apply to taxes payable next
year, and if this be done the admin
istration will have the unprecedent-
ed record of having reduced tax
alton three years in succession"
A surplus of 1878 100000 has been
estimated for the fiscal year 1926,
he said, and the exact amount will
BE known by the time the committee
starts work on drafting a new tax
bill about October Is, SO that much
work on the proposed measure will
be well under way by the convening
of congress in December.
Receipts Are Larger
"The original treasury estimates
of the surplus for the fiscal year
1925, which ends on June 80 next,
was about $4,000, ,OO0," he declared.
"The receipts from taxes have been
larger than were anticipated, prin-
cipally by reason of the improvement
in business generally. Some expen-
ses also will be less, while on the
others hand some are likely to be
larger than was anticipated, Of
which the refunds Of taxes is an in
stance. On the whole. I-think, am
safe in saying that the surplus at
the end of this fiscal year will ex-
ceed $lOO,000.O00.
"The present revenue law went
into full effect with the beginning
Of this calendar year. and great re-
ductions were made in the rates on
moderate incomes, which were fixed
much below those of the. original
Mellon plan and far below those Of
last year, even after the rs percent
refund was made. In many cases
the payment this year will be less
than that Of year ago under the
same circumstances. Until the new
returns. which are now being made,
are resolved by the treasury and
tabulated it is impossible to ascer-
tain the effect Of the present rates.
$300.000.o0o Cut Possible
"At this time it Is impossible to
fix definitely even the amount Of
the expenditures for the fiscal year
1925. There will be increases in some
lines and reductions in others, but
on the whole tAs outlook i now
favorable for : reduction Of $780,
100000 In taxation,"

Because March Is came on

than last year. The state tax
commissioners office expects a

federal taxes. The divisional of.
flee of the federal bureau has
received more returns, but per-
haps not so much money as last

made in rates by Congress last

Washington, March 16.-The in

however, in providing against opera
