During the debate with Senator

the primary campaign in Pennsyl-

Clyde Mclaughlin, his clerk, immedi-
ately rendered such first aid as was
possible and then McLa ghlin took the
wounded man to the Office of DR.. Rey-

Immediately taken to the operating
room. At l o'clock he was still in the
operating room and his exact condition
could not be learned.
While Schriver was in the Beane
store, Andrews also entered and Mr.
Beane directed him to remain there
while Lawrence 3. Hill. who was in
the stole at the time, called upon Ed

the absence of a regularly authorized
deputy sheriff at Belgrade.
Andrews would not talk about the
case and would not give his address

taken under Amusement by Judge
Bishop in superior court. The action
was the latest in months of effort to
reorganize the firm, begun last sum-
me rafter shortage Of 100000 in
capital was discovered. The petition
was brought hy THE Dumaines," a
voluntary association and creditor to
the extent of sl,500.000.
Half a dozen former officers and
employees of the company were ar
rested after the discovery of the
offenses ranging from conspiracy to
defraud stockholders, to changing
entries in the books.
In the meantime. a stockholders
committee attempted to formulate a
plan for reorganization of the 81, $780,

mally, 1900 workers. Finally it re-
ported that it was unable to com
plete such a plan, with the necessary
underwriting, or. to find a purchaser.
Further efforts at last resulted in a
plan to raise S1,500, 900, the minimum
required to continue business. Half
a million dollars was soon subscrib-
ed. Later the committee reported
that the fund sought could not be
raised.

Government Surplus
Report of Sec. Mellon

Washington, July 1-(P)-Secretary
Mellon reported today a government
surplus of s377,7s7.s1s for the fiscal
year just closed.
A record Of collection of customs,
totalling s57s.4So.os2, as well as a
heavy income tax yield amounting to
$1.sS2,04o,oSs swelled the treasury
fund far beyond the needs of the
government.
The $500, 100000 surplus recently
forecast by President Coolidge for
the year. which ended last night, fail
ed to materialize, however, as a re-
suit of last minute disbursements to
meet postoffice department deficit
and tax refunds. At that it was more
than three times the. total estimated
by administration officials in Febru-
AIRY.
The total cost of government dur
Ing the last II months, exclusive Of
DEBT retirement charges. was S3,097,-
ol1,s22, reduction of about sSS,6S7,-
BIZ from the year previous.
Discussing the surplus as compared
with estimates some months ago Mr..
Mellon said Sufficient weight was not
given last November to either the
increase efficiency of the internal
revenue bureau which has brought in
approximately 500, 100000 of back
income taxes in.excess of the amount
estimated, or to the extent to which
lax reduction was anticipated by the
taxpayers, thus creating additional
taxable income, and, consequently, an
increase of government revenues in
the last six months of the fiscal year
by about Sill, 100000 over the esti-
mate" Increased receipts We're at
trlputed by him to the continuation
OF the high level Of prosperity in the

TO DICTATE NUMBER
AND CONTENTS OF
ITALIAN NEWSPAPERS

Rome. July 11.-(Pl-From the view
point of the average American. Italy's
six-page newspapers henceforth will
be dry reading. No sporting. art and
literary news and practically no for
eign news will be printed. Stories Of
trials dealing with crime will be grad
ually eliminated.
Only one newspaper IS TO be permit
ted in each province, outside the large
cities. In these organs the political
doings OF Fascism will be briefly told
and the remainder of the space will be
used to outline things which are being
constructed and work which is being
carried out.
The new order OF things is in line
with the Fascist governments econo-
my plans. Signor Turati. secretary
general of the Fascist party. asserts
that personal journalism is doomed
He says F'ascism is determined to
bring out the educational and moral
aspects of the press.

ing funda mental Fascist ideas. repre-
sent solely the personal acidity and
literary impotence of their editors.
Some of our comrades already have
set a good example by suffocating
their own creatures"
The secretary-general remarked that
the Fascist party might have other
surprises to offer in this field.
The restrictions placed upon news
papers in Italy are in line with the
intention of Premier Nussolini and
the Fascist government to strengthen
the value of the lire and to wipe out
the deficit of eight billion lire in It.

Mussolini says that in all the bat
ties the Fascist regime has had to
fight, victory has perched upon it's
banners and that in the new fight there
again must be victory.

which l intend to wilma battle for
the economic restoration of Italy"
