LIFTS FEAR
OF TREASURY RAID
Tells President House Lead
ers Will Fight to Keep Down
Appropriations.
BY j. RUSSELL YOUNG.

Assurance was given President
Coolidge today by Representative
John Q. Tilson of Connecticut. ma
jorily leader of the House, that the
Republican leadership in that body
would do everything possible to keep
down appropriations at the coming
sessions of Congress.
The floor leader told the President
| that he personally did not think there
| was any need to have any apprehen-
sions about reports to the effect that
a raid upon the Treasury Is contem-
plated when Congress again meets.
Mr.. Tilson said afterward that the
| President did inform him about the
| authority for such a report, but he
stated to the President that he doubt
ed very much if there is such a raid
in contemplation. He added that he
| feels certain Congress is in sympathy
with the Presidents economy pro-
gram and that the membership in
general will assist in discouraging
large and unnecessary expenditures.
Representative Tilson made hur-
ried trip from New York, where he
| is in charge of the Republican con-
| gressional campaign in the East to
add this balm to the President S

the part of a group of members of

Economy to Continue.
| President Coolidge, through his
| spokesman, made known at his con-
| ference with newspaper correspond
ents yesterday afternoon his fears in
| this respect. At the same time he
| indicated that the administration is
| just as determined as ever before to
| continue it's program of governmental
economy and to beat off any i'm
| pending raid. The source of his in
| formation about a movement being
| organized to batter down the doors
Of the Treasury next Winter is not

apprehansions and to send for Rep

dent not only to cast aside worry on
this score, hT to discount the gloomy

and the predictions being made that

to defeat.
| The House leader. who has been in
| intimate touch with the political sit
uation in New York State, declared
at the White House that Senator
Wadsworth would come out with fly
ing colors in December. He said that
the troubled Republican waters, which
had become decidedly muddy as a re-
suit of the wet and dry issues. had
considerably cleared since the recent
Republican convention in New York.
and that the party chances of the
Empire State had frightened materi

Dusolina Giannini, Pleasant
vile, who has been winning eX-
traordinary triumphs both in op-

recital at Vernon Hall, Atlantic
City, Saturday night. She is the
daughter of Sig. F. A. Giannini,

tour of the country she will pass
the summer at the Giannini home
on East Edgewater av., this city.
Miss Giannini is expected to
duplicate in Atlantic City tomor-
row evening the successes which
she has scored in other American
cities during the last few months.
Before the Stanley Music club,
In Philadelphia, recently, she was
very cordially received and re-
sponded with an encore number
after the first and second group
and three after the third, besides
singing several extra numbers at
the close of the concert.
Miss Giannini's voice is clear
and high, besides being of ample
power for either concert or ope-
ratio work. Her singing is full
of temperament and is dramatic
in the extreme, however, without
OVERRIDING this.
