WASHINGTON, Jan 27.-Agreement
on all notifications of the Swing
Johnson bill providing for Colorado
river control and power development,
as suggested by Secretary Work in a
recent statement, was voiced by a
delegation consisting of Representa-
tive Swing and four delegates from
the territory affected, who met with
Reclamation Commissioner Mead to-
day.
Specific approval was given the
proposition that the lower Colorado
river Improvement must be eventually
entirely paid for and that payment
must be assured by definite con-
tracts with power and water users
before construction is begun. The
delegates agreed that the revenues
from power to be sold at low
rate would assure repayment of the
entire cost of development.

human harvest put twelve men were
snatchd from HE grasp by fellow
seamen who had repeatedly risled
their lives for humanity's sake.
In the worst storm which has
raked the Atlantic in years, the Brit
ish freighter, Laristan broke up after
two-day battle against the ele-
ments and went down with crew of
25 men. The liner Bremen, which
answered the Laristan's sos call and
had stood by in the hope of being
able to offer assistance gave up
hope when, after losing sight of the
freighter, it came upon widely
strewn wreckage which it assumed
was all that was left of the Laristan.
Heroic efforts of the crew of the
President Roosevelt, however, were
successful today in saving the lives
of 12 men from the sinking steamer
Antinoe, by which it had stood since
Sunday.
The thoughts which Captain Wurpts,
of tho Bremen, and Captain Fried
Of the President Roosevelt, have been
too busy to broadcast, the Leviathan's
commander, Captain Herbert Hartley,
hollow after his worst battle
in 33 years, supplied for them.

said. "The worst in my time"
1t was the Leviathans thirty-fifth
voyage and her slowest-seven days,

Hartley, his officers said, was off
the bridge for only two hours sleep
during the trip. Sunday when the
storm was most fierce, she made
only 7S miles. The day before she
made 43S.

day were the Columbus, of the North

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-A seemingly

self today along the Atlantic coast

of success of the third international

night to exchange programs with

Although 800 kilograms from the

eastern observers report that only

After broadcasting all day, station
WLW stopped only once for a fresh
breath. That was during the over
seas hour when South American and
all Europe stations except those of
the British Isles came on the air.
But in order that it, might have a

covenant of the league of nations.
The league calVd together in 1920
commission of jurists who drew
up plans for the court Elihu Root
was a member.
These plans, as embodied in the
court protocol" have been accepted
Iby As nations. They provide for a
court of eleven Judges ond four
deputies, chosen by the league. The
court can pass on such International
disputes as may be presented, but
it's opinions are binding only when
the nations involved consent.
The first panel of judges was elect
ed in 1921 and soon afterward the
court began to function at Geneva.
1t has handed down number of de-
cisions.
one of the judges is John Bassett
Moore, an American.
Conditional ratification of the court
protocol by the senate was proposed
by President Harding on February
~, 1928. He recommended reserva-
tions saying the United States ac-
cepted no legal relations" to the
league, would except voice in the
election of judges, and must give it's
consent before the protocol could be
amended. These stipulations and
several others are contained in the
Ratification resolution adopted early
tonight.
President Harding's proposal prompt
ly was pocketed by the senate for
eign relations committee, where
majority made up of opponents of
the league of nations said it meant
entering the league by the back door.
After Harding's death, President
Coolidge repeatedly urged ratifica-
tion and his, recommendation was
supported by petitions from many
sources. Church and other organiza-
tions conducted a nationwide cam
paign for ratification Others in
Guiding many enemies of the league,
urged rejection.
In May, 1924, the. foreign relations
committee voted down ratifica-
tion resolution by Senator Swanson,

Harding reservations, and approved
instead a proposal by Senator Pepper,

TAX CUT Bill
GETS RIGHT OF
WAY in SENATE
lRv Disnafcn A. 2. Wirel

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-~ne tax
reduction bill was gwen the right of
way by the senate tonight immedi-
ately after it had completed action
on the world court.
After a wait of more than week
on the senate calendar, the revenue
measure was unanimously made the
order of business on the motion of
Chairman Smoot of the finance COM
lnittee on the charge of the bill He
expects to hold the measure constant
ly before the senate in the hope Of
obtaining final action early in Feb
ruary. Debate will start tomorrow
Assault on the bill was formally
opened today by Senator Norris, re-
publican, Nebraska, with the intro
duction of an amendment proposing
to open income tax returns to public
inspection, provision repealed in
the pending bill.
This was the first of several
amendments which will be proposed
by the group opposing the compro-
mise reached by republican and dem
ocratic members of the finance COM
mittee on the house bill. Informal
conferences among the group also
have developed serious opposition to
the proposed repeal of the Inheritance
tax and to reductions in the surtaX
rates as now provided by the bill.
The Norris amendment would give
wider publicity than is now permit
ted through publication of the
amounts of income tax paid. The
amendment now in force was adopted
two years ago through a coalition OF
democrats and republican insurgents,
but senate democrats have indicated
they would make no fight at this
time as a party for retention Of pub
licity.
Senator King of Utah, one of the
democratic members of the commit
tee, also has served notice he will
fight for changes in the bill, oppos-
ing also the proposed repeal of the
inheritance tax and publicity of in
come tax returns.
Despite the organized fight against
the bill which now appears certain,
both republican and democratic lead
ers have declared they will make
every effort to bring about final ac-
ton on the measure early in Febru-
ary to insure tax reduction by March
Is, when first income tax install-
ments are due.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-01-28

The ratification resolution as
adopted contained the reservations
drafted by the courts supporters re-
asserting the nations sovereign
rights and declaring it accepted no
legal connection with the League OF
Nations.
These reservations apparently are
acceptable to President Coolidge but
they must be accepted also by the
forty-eight nations already members
of the court before American mem
bership becomes effective.
A score of other qualifications, Of
fered by the courts opponents, were
voted down by an overwhelming ma
jority.

Following up this theme, John B.

cussed health work in Douglas and
in the city schools especially, and
heartily commended the work now
being done in both these lines of
endeavor.
A careful presentation Of the hous-

by Fred D. Hubbell, who stated that
since December Is of last year, ap-
proximately 100 people have made
requests in his office for furnished
dwellings,. Most of these, he stated,
he has been forced to disappoint and
for that reason he told those present
that it is his contention that Duoglas
in it's present condition could absorb
at least 25 good furnished places at
rents approaching $50 a month. 1t
is not reasonable to advertise for
residents of this city when there
