Washington, Feb. l5 R--The problem Of revising the tax reduc- Ion Dill so as 10 meet the approval 3! the house, senate and treasury 10. lay' confronted conferee appointed oS tho two chambers 10 straightcn put points Of difference.
 AS passed by the senate thcb i'll provides for reduction by $i56,96l,. goo or more than Sl26.00O, ,000 in ex- tess Of that voted by the house. and About S100,000,000 more than Sec Felary Mellon believes the condition st the treasury will permit this year.
 A considerable portion Of tho in crease appears 70 be doomed hy the ittllude or house leaders who would adhere 10 their own figures. Chair man Green Of the ways and means committee, heading the house con- torees' has declard that any increase over the SS0,000,000 reduction pro- posed by the house not only threat . tned treasury deficit but jeopar- Ilzod enactment Of several pending bills calling for increased appropri- Ations, including the public building bill.
 MT Green also declared that while government aCtnarios estimated the senate bill would reduce taxes by Si56,26l,0o0 this calendar veg ., it's Actual reduction would amount to b600,ooo,0o0 annually when the bill goes fully into effect in later years.
 Tho house conferees also have more or less support from the three republican representatives of the senate, inasmuch as the votes of democrats aided by some republican Insurgents.
 The taxes which seem most like ty to be restored 10 the bill possi- ply at lower rates. are those on automobile passenger cars, admis- sions and dues,
 Conferees named by the senate Co work with the house representa- hvea are Senators Smoot. Utah, Me- Lean, Connecticut, and Reed, Penn Nlrania, republicans; Simmons, North Carolina, and Gerry Rhode Island, democrats.

New York, March 22 Pt-Modin- cation of the Volstcad act to allow each state to decide what alcoholic content shall be legal within its boundaries was proposed last night by Federal Attorney Buckner. speak ing at Fordham Manor church. Form Partnership
 Prohibition enforcement can only be accomplished by partnership between the United States and each state" he said, and it is perfectly proper to negotiate with the states as 10 precisely what kind of prohi- bition they are willing to come in op and help enforce"
 Modification Needed
 In my judgment, q modification of the Volstead act defining alco- holic content where there is no state law. but per .itting the state to de- fine alcoholic content for both where it chooses to pass a state law, would be Of great assistance In law enforce ment and combating crime and graft and bribery and perjury and blackmail."

It TouId be far better 10 have the pro- hibition law enforced in New York state against liquors above light wine and beer in alcoholic content than 10 have our present muddle and car nival of crime where we have no state law of any kind"

TORTOISE SHOOTING.
 FOR SCIENCE SAKE.
Specimens to Be Hunted in
 Gull Of Mexico

Washington. March ?2--To shoot porpoises as they come Into the shallow off.shore waters Is the un- usual aim of a scientific expedition 10 the Gulf Of Mexico, undertaken by D. Gerrit S. Miller. Jr,. mammal ogist of the Smithsonian Institu- ton. Fishermen Of Cedar Keys. Florida, report that herds of this sea going mammal have a habit of coming into shallow water at low tide. Thus if they can be shot, the shallowness of the water will prevent them from being lost to the hunter. While Dr. Miller considers this method of catching porpoises a good deal of an experiment, he hopes that if IL fails, some specimens will be caught in the pound nets of the 1 fishermen,
 Porpoisea from the gulf region are needed 10 fill out the collection in the l., S, National Museum. which is under tho direction Of the smith sonian Institution. It is believed that the species of porpoise which makes its homo along the western shores of Florida has certain distinctive characteristics, about which scient- ists arc not clear. To decided this point Is the purpose of pr. Miller's collecting expedition.
 Porpoises are, of course, nam mals; that is. they are n1embers of .I ,,an lat nf q anifr1 tr n which man himself belongs the dis tinguishing characteristic of which Is that the young of every one of its members must be fed on milk. The porpoise Is really small tooth cd whale Its teeth are peculiar in thetr shape. which very much re- sembles an inverted flower bulb. It feeds upon fish and squids. Its so- ciable and gregarious nature is re- vcaled in its habit of travelling in herds 50 frequently seen from ocean liners.
 In former times the porpoises formed a. common article of food i'll England and France, but it is no" rarely II ever eaten, being valuable only for the oil obtained from its hlubber. Its skin is sometimes used for leather and boot thongs.
 Dr. Miller will not confine him self 10 the shooting of porpoises but plans to do much plant collecting for the National Herbarium. which is also under the direction Of the .Smithson .r. The northwestern sec ton of Florida has been rather neglected by botanists who have been attracted by the richer areas ron the southern and eastern coast. Consequently the plants Of this re- zion have never been thoroughly studied and Dr, Miller expects to lind some new species
 pr. Miller, who has been with the Smithsonian and the National Mu- -I scum for nearly 30 years, occupies a position in the forefront Of his science. It was he who in l6a4 in- troduced to the British Museum the new technique in the study of nlammalogy which had been evolved by pr. C. Hart Merriam, at that time head of the |. $. Biological Survey This new technique has since reVo- lutionized the science of mamnialogy throughout the world.
