Washington, Jan. IS iP,-Chair- man Watson of the Senate Interstate Commerce committee has given no thought to taking up the Copeland resolution to authorize the president to take over and operate the anthra- cite mines.
 "I am against any such lcgisla tion," Senator Watson said today.
 A number of other committeeman hold the same view and there ap- pears little prospect of action in this committee.
 Senator Copeland again asked the senate today 10 consider the rcsolu- ton at an early date. He reiterated his belief that if the president would call the miners and operators into conference, the strike could be ended quickly.
 Representative Boylan, democrat New York, today made public a let ter from Representative Oldlield of Arkansas. the democratic whip, en- dorsing his bill 10 authorize in" president to take over the mines in an emergency.
 Mir. Oldfold suggested that the bill be pushed Ito the limit. in order that our people in the colder sec tons Of the country may not freeze this winter"

American Feature Film Company Is Denied
 Right of Appeal From District Tribunal

New Haven, Jan, IS Rl--An effort 10 have the United States supreme court review the law Of Connecticut Imposing tax upon motion picture films, a certain few excepted, has failed.

 Originally, the Fox Film company Of New York, was party to the action of the American Feature Film company in testing the Con necticut law. The ground of com plaint was that the law was one of police powers rather than a revenue measure and instead of having the issue tried out in the United States district court the matter went by | |agreement to a constitutional court
 consisting of Judges H. w. Rogers | Thomas D. Thacher and Henry w
 Goddard, which after a hearing de
 cided that the law was constitution

ah In Its finding that court said that "whether the act was passed in exercise of police power or the tax ing power, it was valid"
 In taking an appeal the Fox Com pany withdrew and the American company went to the highest court .attcr an adverse decision of the court of appeals.
 For several months State Tax Commissioner w. II. Blodgett was in conflict with the film exchanges which had offices in the state and which refused to pay taxes. Event ually, after the exchanges had with drawn from the state and the ex- hibitorS had established a revolving 1 fund with which to pay the tax. q conference was held in which Gov Trurbull promised to aid in having lthe next general assembly take uy the matter of repeal of the law and harmony was re-cstablished, the tax, cs were paid and the exchanges re. turned to the state.

Crowthcr of Fall River today told the joint legislative committee on municipal finance.
 Representative Crowther filed a petition for an audit and asked that the committee order an investigation of the city's accounts which, he said, were in a condition requiring an au- dit by experts. He said, however that the present auditor is trying to do what is right and that the books of the city treasurer are now being audited.
 Senator Walter E. McLane sug. gested postponement of action on the petition for two weeks when, he said conditions might be different. De. claring that he appeared neither il  favor or nor in opposition to the bill he expressed the belief that the cit, has not gone 10 pieces" although there might be something wrong.
 Theodore N. Waddel. director O the state division of accounts, sai( that the state had never audited tn, books of the city Fall River beint one of the cities that have refused to accept the state sysem.

An audit by state account ants, he added, would show illega payments of between S50,00o an s100.o00 on public buildings. H claimed that he appeared in the in terest of taxpayers.

CITY LIVES WITHIN
 EXPENSE ESTIMATE
Departments Expect Appropria-
 tiOnS Will Be Sufficient
ALL HAVE FUNDS ON HAND
Officials Do Not Anticipate Over draft on Leyying of Special Tax For Any Purposc-Incidcntal Ac- count Alone Is Exhausted.

New Britain bids fair to go through the fiscal year without de- fciepcy appropriation or emergency tax, the city departm ents handling funds having announced their ex- pectation of seeing the year through unexpected emergencies barred.
 The school, health and charity de- partments have been responsible in the main for excesses over original estimates in the past but these branches of the government joined with others today in optimistic fore casting.
 Today's announcement adds strength to the belief that there will be no need for an increase in the tax rate next year. Several times in the past the mill rate might have re- mained stationary or even reduced had 1t not been necessary to add R fraction of mill to raise money for repayment of amounts borrowed the ! previous year In anticipation of a special tax.
 Only One Account Exhausted
 The incidental account is now ex- 1 hausted, but it is not expected there vii be many calls for work for which money ordinarily ,,omes out of this item. This happens to be the only fund completely drawn. Snow storms of severity might cost the public works partment more money than 1t now has available, but it is be- liever that these amounts could be made up by transfers from other mittcd by charter after February 1
 The health department has ex- pended s32,429.32 and has balance of $13,500.6S. Out of it's appropria, ton, the building commission ha' spent S29,112.57 and now has s., 8S6.55. An expenditure of s52, 440.51 and balance of $6,577.25 i' the park commissions financial re
 port. The fire board with $40,
 3644s expended and s45,66S,43 re , maining does not anticipate an over draft, while the police derartmen has S45,416.sS and has laid ou s1t0,364.49.
 Several funds controlled by tn
 department of public works are a a low point, but will last throug' the year. They include the stree
 lighting, street sprinkling. street i'm
 provement, state highway, sewe
 maintainences and other account , of lesser size and importance. The water department does no receive money through taxation, bu
 carries on with its own revenues. It
 expenditures this year will be within
 the amounts reported to the boar Of finance and taxation at this iisca , years outset.
 { Charity expenditures were $61, } 854.19, leaving s28,461.S1 for the re , mainder Of this year. The schoc 5 department has a balance of s291 l 942.34 to carry on it's work for thre 4 months.

 Calling attention to a dispute be tween Finland and Russia, Senate Borah said the League council rulet that the court could render an ad Nisory opinion even though Russii was not a member of the league land would not be represented befor the court, The court itself .leld b. to vote that it had no powe to give an advisory opinion.
