McNally. assigned to watch the hall,
halted the meeting by ordering the
speaker to a patrol box. McNally's
conversation with the station house
was not made public by the police
but amid the jeers of the crowd
Nearing was released and returned
to finish his address. He did not
mention the Bimba case, combining
himself chiefly to the work of the
committee for the recognition and
defense of Soviet Russia, which ar
ranged for the meeting. The gather
ing broke up in an orderly manner.
The incident chmaxed week of
attempts on the part of Bimba S
friends to arrange meeting here at
which to present his case to the pub
lie. Previously the doors of Ford
hall, Fareuil hall and Lorimer hall
had been closed to the international
Labor Defense league which has
espoused the cause of the Lithuanian

G. Keene had announced the city Of

by the organization for meeting.
Robert Zelms. New England dis
trict organizer of the league, denied
reports that a plan was on foot to
hold unofficial meetings in Boston,
Rrockton or Wol cester to place
Bimba's case before the public. He
said the league would seek legal ad-
vice before taking further action.
This is the last time that free
sreech will be barred in the Cradle of
American Liberty if we can help it,"
he said. THE issue now is the ques

ton he predicted, 1.-The responsibility
must rest upon the senate"
Representative Green is known to
have objected strenuously to the
senate provision for a retroactive re-
duction in the inheritance tax, ac-
cepted by the other house conferees
to obtain restoration to the bill of
the new inheritance levy, which the
senate had voted to repeal.
Revised treasury calculations. Mr..
Green said today. show that the bill
will result in an estimated loss of
revenue of $3O9,000.000 in the fiscal
1927 year, which begins next July l.
der of the current fiscal year end
ing June 30 by $109,0O0.O00.
1.-THE estimated surplus for the ifs
cal year 1927. when the budget esti-
mate was made, was $3.50 307 900.
Mr.. Green continued. but this does
not take into consideration large
additions which will probably be
made to the expenditures listed in
the budget.
ut may. therefore, be necessary
to increase taxation after the expira-
ton of a year. when it can be de-
termined more accurately what our
revenues will be.
1.-THE bill as agreed upon will re-
turn over $0O.000.000 more than the
senate bill in the two items of au-
tomobile taxes and admissions alone.
and when in full operation the to-
tai will be about $100,000.00O more
Even then, in my judgment, the
amount of reductions is too large

that will be made on our revenues
