Playing Of Browne
Highly Praised by
British Writers

London, June 23.-(R)-The play
of Miss Mary Browne. captain Of
the American Wightman cup team,
against Suzanne Lenglen at VIM
bledon yesterday in which Miss
Browne took i've games from the
peerless Suzanne is given high
praise today by the British tennis
writers. They remark her GOODNESS
throughout the. match.
Suzanne herself. who Is reporting
the tournament daily for the Sketch,
also pays tribute to Miss Browne.
"She is one of the greatest play
ers l have ever met" says the
French girl. Her driving both fore
and backhand is surer than I ever
experienced together In any one
player. Some of her cross court
backhand shots l didn't like a bit.
Luckily for me, her driving was
rather too forceful and gave me
many points"

Expect Vote Today
On McNary Farm Bill

Washington, June 23-(P)-With a
vote expected tomorrow the Nc
Nary farm bill was shunted off the
stage Of the senate today after only
one hours consideration.
The fate of the measure appeared
to depend on the action of handful
of senators on the doubtful bench
and each side spent the day in an
effort to win their support. The
vote Is expected to be so close that
Vice President Dawes looms into
commanding position as a possible
deciding factor in the event of a tie,
with both sides claiming him.
Leaders of the opposition passed
the word today that even should
the bill get through the senate and
the house and be sent to the White
House, President Coolidge would
veto it. Supporters of the measure,
however. contended that If 1t is
passed and laid before the chief
executive he will sign 1t.

Hold Two Guards
For Plot to Permit
E$Npe Of Prisoners

p .delphia, June 23-(P)-Two
guards were today held in $4,000
bail each on a charge of aiding and
abetting six convicts in a conspir-
acy to tunnel their way out of the
state penitentiary here.
The plot to escape was discovered
last week, after the tunnel large
enough for a man to crawl through
and 54 feet long, had been dug.
The guards under arrest, who were
sent to the county prison in default
of bail, are Clyde T. Whiteside and
Harry Campbell. They denied the
stories of the convicts that they were
given, money to keep quiet and also
cape.
One of the convicts, known as
Bud" Harding, testified in court to-
day he had paid Whiteside $1SS and
Campbell $215. He said the guards
were to protect the prisoners while
they were digging. "When we
reached the wall and had cut
through beneath the street White
side and Campbell were to receive
$500 each:" Harding testified.
Harding said the prisoners had
been double crossed" by the guards
which led to the discovery of the
plot. How the convicts obtained the
money they said they paid was not
revealed

BRAZIL OUT Of
LEAGUE TO SEEK BIG
LOAN OF AMERICANS

New York; June 23.-((PO-As a
sequel to Brazil's withdrawal from
the league of nations council a $685.
100000 loan, originally scheduled for
flotation in London, has been trans
ferred to American banking inter-
ests and will be offered to investors
here by Dillon. Read and Company
tomorrow.
The new issue, consisting of so
year 6h bonds. supplements $685.
100000 offering made by a Dillon,
Read syndicate last month and will
complete a s6O,OOo,OOo borrowing
operation authorized by the Brazil
ian government. The bonds will be
priced at 90h to yield more than
7ATo.
When Brazirs financing plans
were first made public several
months ago. it was indicated that
the loan would be divided equally
between the United States and
Great Britain. With an increase in
the American portion to S35.0O0,000,
it developed that the Rothschild
banking firm of London, which had
long represented Brazil, had declin-
ed to participate in the loan.
In some quarters it was rumored
that the British government had
frowned on the operation because of
the previous dispute with Brazil
over Germany's admission to the
league council. The banking COM
munity, however, inclined to the
view that the Rothschilds had found
1t impractical to attempt fiotation of
the bonds in London and had acted
without pressure in withdrawing
their assistance.

Premier BRAND Makes Selec-
tiOns for His Tenth Ministry
Includes M Caillaux Who
Will Direct Money Affairs of
Nation-See Complete Reno
walton of Finances and Sta
biliZatiOn of Franc

Paris. June 23.-@ -Aristide
BRAND, veteran French political
leader, today brought into being his
tenth ministry in an effort to solve
Frances pressing financial difficult
ties.
With the formation of the new
cabinet. came the appearance into
the political limelight again Of JOS
eph Caillaux, long a stormy petrol
of France politics. NJ. Caillaux. who
was the premier of France in the
days before the World War and who
held the ministry Of finance only re-
Gently, again has taken over the fin
ance portfolio.
Although Premier BRAND succeed
ed in forming a cabinet only after
two futile attempts, his success is
regarded in political circles as clear
ing the parliamentary atmosphere
and as finally opening the way to a
complete renovation of French fin
ances and the sterilization Of the
france.
The appearance of M. Caillaux
again as minister Of finance is felt
to be an indication that has won
back the prestige he lost at the radt-
cal convention at Nice, just after he
had returned from Washington
where he was unsuccessful in set
Ting the French debt to the United
States.
Much comment has been occasion
ed by the fact that M. Painleve. who
forced M. Caillaux out of his cabinet
after the Nice convention. is missing
from the government for the first
time since he succeeded Premier
Herriot in 1925. NJ. Painleve was
minister of war in the ninth BRAND
ministry which resigned only a short
time ago.
The new cabinet is not union Of
parties, but it made UP largely of
members of the former BRAND cab
met plus the new finance minister
and several men suggested by him.
Premier BRAND originally had hoped
to bring about shift from the left
towards the center, that is from
radical Socialism to modern Liber-
alism.
Others, however. predict that the
new ministry will rally a majority
sufficient to put through parliament
tary legislation necessary to support
the vigorous policy of retrenchment
which the new finance minister has
authorized.

DEMOCRATS PLAN
TO PRESS BILLS FOR
LOWERING OF TAXES

Washington, June 23.-(P)-In.
PRODUCTION by Democrats in both
Houses Of Congress today Of bills
proposing immediate tax reductions
brought to light a somewhat ne
BILIOUS plan among members of the
minority party for a general lower
ing of taxes at the short session next
winter.
The Democrats sponsoring the
bills said their action was prompted
by the estimated treasury surplus
announced at the budget meeting
Monday night. In placing the sur
plus for the current fiscal year. end
Ing, June 80, 1t $4,000, 900 and that
for next at about half that amount
President Coolidge at that meeting
took the position that further tax
reduction should be held in abey-
ance until the new revenue law can
be given thorough test.
Taking a different. view the three
Democrats who introduced the bills
for further tax relief at once were
Representatives Crisp Of Georgia,
and Jacobstein of New York ana
Senator Copeland, Democrat, New
York.
r Crisp, member of the house ways
and means committe, which has in
itial jurisdiction over revenue legis-
lation, proposed a reduction In the
corporation tax from Is IL to 10
per cent. Jacobstein and Copeland
offered similar proposals calling for
a 20 per cent refund of personal In
come taxes. and an investigation
looking to the elimination of auto
mobile and amusement and a radliC.
ton in the corporation assessments.
The move, however. made no hit
with Chairman Green of the ways
and means committee, taking a posi-
ton like that of President Coolidge.
He said that any discussion of q
further reduction of taxes sis pre-
mature at this time"
