SEVERAL MORE
WITNESSES IN
PRIMARY CASE
Successful Guberna t tOria /
Candidate And OppOn-
ent Summoned.
w. C. T. u. NEXT
Officials of Pennsylvania
w. C. T. u. Will Be
Asked About Funds.

WASHINGTON, June 10.
The long arm Of a senate
subpoena reached out to-
day for half a dozen more
of the principal figures in
Pennsylvania's recent ST.
100000 republican primary.
Those summoned before the
campaign fund investigat-
ing committee for next
week included John S.
Fisher, successful candi-
date for the gubernatorial
nomination and his oppon-
ent E. E. Beidleman, of
Harrisburg, and Albert NJ.
Greenfield, Philadel p h i a
capitalist and "Angel" of
the William S. Ware for
senate organizations.
Others called to relate their part in
the keystone state contest were w
Harry Baker of Harrisburg, former
chairman and now secretary of ths
republican state central committee
State Senator Max G. Leslie of Pitts
burgh, described as the boss" Of Al
legheny county, and Joseph ARM
strong and f. v. Babcock, commits.
sioners OF Allegheny county
The subpoenas were issued by
Chairman Reed after the committee
suddenly called off today's session OF
its hearings. 1t was announced that
day, at which time Wayne 3. Wheeler,
general counsel of the Anti-Saloon
league, probably will be recalled.
Besides inquiring further into the
activities, political and financial, OF
the national dry organization, the
committee has decided to inquire into
the raising and expenditure of a large
sum of money by the 7Yomen's Chris
tian Temperance union of PennsyI
vania. ~
To that end a subpoena was issued
for Mrs. Ella George of Pittsburgh
president, and one probably will gc
out later for Mrs. Leah Cobb of Mar
ion, Pa, former treasurer Of thu
organization. Mrs. Maude Seymour
of McConnellsburg already has beef
summoned. According to a story tolC
the committee by John M. Flynn
democratic leaders of Elk county, th'
money was raised to aid prohibition
enforcement and the subject wa
brought to the front during the MAY
campaign after the women fell ou
over the question of supporting Pep
per or Pinchot in the senatorial race
The committee postponed the hear
ing today because Wheeler had beer
unable to obtain from the Anti-Saloon
league headquarters at Westerville
Ohio, reports on financial and other
affairs of the league asked for bs
Senator Reed. He expects to have
these by Monday.
Counting only the witnesses now
on call, it appears as though the
investigation into the Pennsylvani;
situation viii continue through all o
next week with a probability tha
new leads will be developed calling
for still more witnesses.
After winding up with the Key.

probably will proceed to Chicago tt

INCOME TAXES
RA|SESURPLUS
S3OO,0OO,OOO.
Prospective Surplus For
End Fiscal Year, June 30,
Above Estimates.
GREAT RECORD
Further Cut In Taxes Not
Yet Assured, Declares
Mellon.
0By Dispatch 4. p. wire)

WASHINGTON, June 10.
Big collections Of income
taxes for this quarter re-
ported to the treasury to-
day boosted the prospective
surplus for this fiscal year,
cnoing June 80, to more
than $30O,OOO,000, far be-
yond the official estimate.
This is the largest surplus since
1924 when the year was closed with
a margin Of $5O5,OOO,OOO and comes
on the heels of heavy reduction
in income tax rate which was effcc-
tive on both quarterly payments this
year. Despite the recent slash in
June Is installment already amount
to more than $2,e0O.O00 above last
June with Indications that tbA total
will be well over tse collection OF
$377, 100000 received at this quarter
" payment a year ago.
In the face Of the prosperous con-
dition Of the treasury high admin
istration officials refused TO con-
cede today that another yearly tax
reduction is In prospect IT Will be
impossible they said, TO gauge the
real effect Of the lower rate pro-
yided by the new revenue law and
the expenditures authorized for next
year, for some time. Secretary Mel
lon also called attention that more
than sSOO,OO0,OOO has been collected
this year from back taxes, an un-
usual figure, he said. This was at
tributcd to a special drive by tbs
internal revenue bureau on this
source Of revenue.
The administration had figured the
recent tax reduction would cut tho
surplus for this year below $780,
100000 while income tax returns have
exceeded those Of last year under
The higher rate, receipts from the
miscellaneous tax fell considerably
below last years. Most Of these taxes
were repealed by the new revenue
law.
For the first IL months Of this
fiscal year, up to June 1, internal
revenue collections amounted to S2,-
3S1, S29, ,9Ss, an increase OF $685.
4S1,478 over this period last year.
OF this increase income tax receipts
accounted for $141.917,165. Receipts
from individual and partnership re-
turns in May showed an increase of
-1ST5L413 over May 1925, but cor
Doratlon tax collections for May
amounted to s22,OO9, ,2S9 or decrease
Of S2,727415 from last May.
