May Boom Fuller for
Vice-Presidency for
SaccO- Vanzetti Murder

WASHINGTON, Oct. rs (FPl. -
Hoover partisans in the capital pro
fess much surprise that his name
should be coupled, by newspaper cor
respondent who is close to Coolidge,
with Gov. Fuller of Massachusetts in
a proposed presidential ticket.
The idea that Hoover wants Fuller
the man who sent Sacco and Van
zetti to death-as his vice-presiden-
tial running mate in case Hoover is
nominated by the republican conven-
ton next June, was put out by a
Hearst man who comes from Boston,
and who is in high favor at the White
House. In this boost for Fuller az a
vice-presidential nominee the idea is
set forth that Fuller, by killing Sacco
and Vanzetti, has become an apostle
Of claw and order" The public is told
that this was what brought Coolidge
the vice-presidential nomination in
l920-the claw and order'' cry he
raised when the Boston police went
on strike.

Interstate Comm.
Awaits Laws Which
viii Make Mergers

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Con-
gress is expected to enact new legis-
lation authorizing the railroads of the
country to work out a voluntary con-
solidation plan, tho the plans of the
Van Sweringen Brothers, of Cleve-
land, to link up the Chesapeake &
Ohio with the Erie and Pere Mar
quette through stock ownership and
L. F. Loree's various merger plans
probably will not be decided by the
Interstate Commerce Commission for
several months.
This was indicated today when a
high authority in the commission de-
clared there was no foundation for
persistent rumors in Wall Street that
the commission was preparing to is
sue a series of decisions that would
vitality affect the stock market.
Oral arguments on the Van Swer-
ingen plan will be heard by the COM
mission early in November. Loree's
plans for linking up the Kansas City
Southern with the Cotton Belt and
Katy and the Delaware & Hudson
with the Buffalo, Rochester & Pitts
burgh through trackage rights over
the Pennsylvania between Button
wood and Dubois, Pa, are still under
consideration by the commission.

us it too much, therefore, to insist

ment, to demand that the banking
system of the country be supervised
only by those familiar, by practice
and experience, with the problems of
banking, not only in this country, but
in the other countries Of the world"
Traylor then argued that every citi-
zen of the United States should de-
mand that the banking systems of all
other countries be kept in the hands
of those approved of by the bankers
of America.

SCWartzbard SWeafs
He Killed PetIura
Because Of P0gr0ms

PARIS, Oct. ga dramatic in
cident marked today's session of the
trial of Samuel Schwartzbard, Rus
sian Jew, charged with assassinating
Gen. Simon Petlura, Ukrainian ban
dit leader who murdered thousands
in his reign of terror, when he rose
in the prisoners box and addressed the
court, admitting that he had killed
Petlura.
Schwartzbard had previously con-
fessed the killing, saying he did it to
avenge the thousands of Jews slain
in pogroms in Ukraine while Petlura
was in power.
DR.. Tcherikovir, specialist in
Ukraine history, who was the first
witness, despite his White Guard
leanings admitted that Petlura failed
to punish the persons who carried out
the pogroms.
1t was at this point that the pris-
oner leaped to his feet and shouted:
81 swear that is why I killed him."
Moses Safra, merchant of Kiev,
whose son had been killed in a pogrom
told the court;
~ wanted to avenge my sons death
by associating myself with Schwartz
bard's act, but thought death too
good for Petlura."

Tax Cut, Not Flood
Relief, Is Demand
Of Congressman

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 25.-
The demands of the impoverished
flood victims in the Mississippi valley
that a relief measure be passed be-
fore taxes on big businesses are fur
Their reduced has appeared among
Congressional ''tax experts" here,
but is not going to be treated with
much courtesy, so they say.
The Western and Middle senators
say the "progressives," are afraid to
map out a program, but are worried
about the attitude of their consti-
tuents.
Exempt Small Corporations?
Both Republican and Democratic
leaders have carefully eliminated
changes in the personal income tax
rates from their programs, but it is
understood that once the tax bill is
opened up, the Progressives will de-
mand that the exemption be raised to
$4,000.
Another proposal discussed in pro-
gressive circles and promptly banned
by Representative Green (R) of
Iowa, chairman of the House Ways
and Means Committee, is to inaugur-
ate the exemption system for the
corporation income tax. This plan
would exempt corporations having
less than $4,000 annual income and
would defeat any substantial tax cut
for "big business"
Another proposal made by Rep
resentative Treadway (R), of Mas
sachusetts, a senior member of the
House Ways and Means Committee,
was expected to be rejected by both
administration leaders and progress
sives. He suggested a compromise,
the reduction of the surtax rates on
million dollar incomes, providing the
treasury surplus allows big tax
cut.
An effort will be made, it is I'M
derstood, to bring about an agree
ment between senate and house re-
publican leaders before the tax re-
duction program is actually launched.
Representative Green has refused
thus far to endorse the statement
of Senator Smoot (R), of Utah,
chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee, for $350,000,O00 tax
reduction. Green has indicated a
belief that the total will be nearer
$2O0OOO,000.

Chicago Mayor Now
Shifts Blame for
Book Burning Talk

CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-Court action to
halt the destruction of any books
found in the Chicago Public Library
said to contain pro-British propaganda
was continued here today for one
week when Judge Ira Ryner refused
to hear injunction proceedings until
November 1, and Mayor Thompson in
timated that he wouldn't after all
burn the books.
Attorneys for Edward J. Bohac,
acting as a taxpayer, insisted upon ar
immediate hearing. This was denied
by the judge, who then read the fol-
lowing communication which he re-
ceived from Mayor William Hale
Thompson, instigator of Chicago's
war upon England, and which said:
There was no suggestion made
about burning anything. I do not
think there should be an injunction
issued against anything I never in
tended to do"
Hermann stated publicly a few days
ago he would burn on the lake front
any books he discovered containing
pro- British propaganda. Hermann an
nounced he was acting under orders
from Mayor Thompson.
