Money in AnRoro Rabbits

fur purposes is proving profitable and
is being followed on a commercial
scale in England. Some OF the farm
ers pluck the fibers, while others clip
the wool from the rabbit The fiber
most practical for spinning is that
which has attained length Of about
four or five inches. Rabbit fur is not
generally used in the manufacture Of
garments as a whole. but is more gen.
orally used as trimming on sweaters

GENEVA, Feb. 26.-Fol-
lowing closely upon the ac-
tion Of Greece in appealing
to the league of nations to
settle a boundary dispute
between Greece and Turkey,
a conflict in the Baltic sud-
denly loomed on the league
horizon today when Lith-
uania filed a vigorous pro
test against Poland, alleg-
ing that the recent Polish
frontier actions constituted
a "new invasion Of Lithuan-
ian territory by Polish
troops"
Lithuania urgently demands inter
vention by the league to avoid blood
shed. Liberation of Lithuanian soil
and the release if improsined Lith-
uanian militiamen are asked. Po-
land, having already answered the
Lithuanian protest insists it was
Lithuania that began the frontier dis
turbance by occupying forest sit
uated on Polish territory. Police
agents, it is asserted, have re-estab-
lished the status pro frontier line,
eight persons have been arrested and
Poland considers the incident closed.
Poland denies that Polish regulars
participated in the action or that any
Poles crossed the frontier to launch
the attack, or engage in battle.

GALES DEFENDS
ATTITUDE UPON
RELIGIOUS LAW
nRu nisnatch 4. P. Wirel


MEXICO CITY, Feb. 26.-The atti-
tude of the Mexican government in
expelling foreign born priests and
ministers is defended in a statement
given to the press by President Plu-
tarco Gales.
Quoting the constitutional provis
sions barring foreign horn priests
and ministers and forbidding the es-
tablishment of primary schools by
any religious organization, the chief
executive of Mexico said that those
expelled had been warned many times
and were carrying on their activities
with full knowledge of committing
a breach of the constitutional arr
ticles.
without any step signifying re
ligious persecution of any church,
the statement said, "a government
wishing to comply with it's constitu~
tional obligations could use no other
remedy than compel to leave its
country such constant violators OF
it's fundamental laws.
..In contrast with the conduct of
those priests who have been expelled
there were numerous ministers of the
cults who in obedience TO the con-
stitution have ceased their religious
functions and who have dedicated
themselves to other and legal ac-
tivities such as teaching in secondary
schools or engaging in activities
convenient to their church, but with
out expressing their ministry by acts
or cult, thus leaving to the Mexi-
can ministry its own work. Those
ministers have not been molested in
the slightest degree.
'sAs always occurs when questions
regarding Mexico crop up there has
been an attempt to disfigure the
facts in their presentation to the
people of the United States. In this
case it is question of simple obedi-
ence governed by fundamental law
of our country and the facts have
been turned into a religious perse-
cution in "a country where fortunate
ly, matters ecclesiastical and religious
have always been absent from civil
and political legislation.

SENATE REFUSES
REPORT HITTING
ALUMINIUM FIRM
lBs Dispatch A. z. wirsl

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The senate
refused today 3S to SO, to adopt a
report assailing the department Of
Justice for the manner in which It
conducted an investigation to deter
mine whether the Aluminium Company
of America has violated federal court
DEGREES.
With this action, Senator Robinson
of Arkansas, the democratic leader,
abandoned a resolution which he had
presented and which would have
authorized the president to employ
special counsel to prosecute contempt
proceedings against the company.
Because of his stockholdings in the
Aluminium concern, Secretary Mellon
stood as the central figure in a
controversy which started more than
a month ago and travelled the round
of a senate judiciary committee in
vestigation before it reached the
senate floor for final determjhation.
With two xceptions-Blease, of South
Carolina; and Bruce, of Maryland
the democrats stood solidly for adop-
tion of the report of the majority of
the judiciary committee, and they
were joined by several of the repub-
lican insurgents.
The administration forces stood
firm, and with the aid of the two
democrats were able to block a
repetition of the action takEl by the
senate in the famous naval oil lease
cases, when special counsel was au-
thoribed to bring civil and criminal
actions against Edward L. Doheny and
Harry F. Sinclair.

SALM YET
LOVES WIFE, HE
PUBLICLY AYERS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Desperate
as a result of the public attention
focused on his affairs and movements
since he married the wealthy Millicent
Rogers, Count Ludwig Salm Won
Hoogstraeten, on advice of counsel is
sued statement today denying the
authenticity of interviews attributed
to him and declaring he would be
living happily with his wife now had
she been 'let alone" and not given
"bad advice"
"Why should there be so much fuss
and conjecture about my motives or
my financial condition?' he asked.
II have accepted the ridiculous con-
ceptions of my affairs by some of
your enterprising newspapers with
all possible amusement, but really it
should end some where"
"I have no desire to force my com
panionship upon my wife, and while
wish her to have all of the public's
sympathy, 1 deemed it only fair 20
myself and to my son to set forth,
as I have done in sworn state
ment as part of my court proceed
ings, the influences which brought
about our separation and the disrup-
tion of my home"
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-02-27

The president hopes, however, thaI
increased prosperity will result from
the tax cut, swelling government in
come above present estimates, and
that congress will 90 its utmost to
curtail expenditures.
Likelihood that tnero will ce little
if any surplus for the next year or
two, in the presidents opinion, pre-
cludes the possibility of further tax
reduction next year and perhaps for
some time to come.
Ultimately, however, he believes
that gradual retirement of the debt
with continued government economy
will result in further federal tax re-
lief.
Immediately after Coolidge had af-
fixed his signature to the $3S70OO,OO
tax reduction measure, the treasury
called attention that the new law al
lows an extension in time for pay
ment of the levies. 1T was announced
that persons or domestic corporations
with incomes of more than $4,000
would be allowed to file only tenta-
tive returns March Is with payment
of one-quarter of the estimated tax
due and then be given until May 10
to file final returns.
This action was taken in view Of
the short time within which the first
returns must be filed. The new in
come blanks with Instructions on the
effect of the new law already have
been mailed.
With a score of cameras recording
the event. President Coolidge signed
the bill at 1922 a. m. Behind his
chair were grouped Secretary Mellon,
Director Lord, Chairman Green OF
the house ways and means commit
tee; Chairman Smoot, of the senate
and Representative Garner
of Texas and Senator Simmons Of
North Carolina, ranking democrats
respectively on the two committee.
At the time the president made no
written or verbal comment on the
bill, but later in the day he was
represented at the White House as
being highly gratified with the
promptness with which congress work
ed out the problem and the co-opera-
ton of both parties in the work
1t was disclosed that the total
amount of reduction proposed for this
and next year was above the figure
which the president believed was pos
sible but that he realized it was the
business of congress to determine
the business of congress to exercise
finally how far this should go. Like
wise, the president felt it was now
care in making appropriations not
recommended in the budget
The last two revenue bills have cut
the cost of taxes by $7O0,0O0,O0O it
was estimated, resulting in saving
of S2,0OO,OOO a day to federal taxpay-
ers. The last previous bill was signed
June 2, 1924.
The new law pares down income
taxes to the lowest level since the
w orld War and wipes out virtually
all of the miscellaneous excise and
occupational war levies.
More than 100000 of the 100000
who paid income taxes are relieved
of this levy altogether, and the tax
on incomes below $4,000 is cut even
below pre-war rates.
Most of the revision, which applies
to virtually every form of tax now
levied, goes into effect Immediately
while the reduced income tax rates
will apply to incomes of last year, on
