G. 0. P. SPLITS
ON CONGRESS
SESSION CALL
Coolidge and Admirers Far
Apart on Issue; Hoover.
Favors Action.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
limited Press staff CORRESPONDENT

RAPID CITY, S. D., July o.
Differences have arisen between
President Coolidge and some of his
closest Republican advisers over
whether there should be an extra
session of Congress about Oct. Is
for enacting flood relief legislation.
The affair started in Washington,
when Chairman Smoot OF the
Senate Finance Committee an
nounced, after comforting with the
President, that President Coolidge
would summon Congress at that
date. A few hours later President
Coolidge denied he had made up his
mind on the subject.
Now Secretary OF Commerce
Hoover and Representative John Q.
Tilson, Republican floor leader IN
the House, have been drawn into the
argument. Hoover favors the extra
session and Tilson strongly opposes
it. Both urged their opinions to the
y President during their recent visits
4 here.
Smoot Wants Session
Snoot. who visited the President
Thursday, told the United Press ne
feared the outcome of important
legislation unless an extra session
is called. His taxation reduction
program and special Senatorial
election contests will be thrown be-
fore Congress in a deadlock on the
opening day and this may leopard
ize flood control measures which yet
have not been framed.
I'm the first place." Smoot said,
CONGRESS in the closing hours OF
the last session failed to enact a
$20,0O0,000 deficiency appropriation
bill and it must be passed In the
first order of business.
with the presidential election
coming on next year, House and
Senate members will be eager to get
away from Washington as early as
possible for the conventions and I
am convinced Congress should be
started al. least month earlier this
fall"
Gives Tax Cut Program
Snoot laid down complete
100000 tax reduction program
which he will submit to his finance
committee when it meets with the
House Ways and Means Committee
to plan the new tax bill. The Smoot
plan includes:
Reduction of $15O,0O0,o00 in cor
porations take from 1914 to IL per
cent.
Elimination Of $37,000,o00 taxes on
theater admissions and club dues.
Reduction in passenger automo-
| bile taxes of $50,000,000 by cutting
the present per cent rate to IL
per cent.
General scaled reduction on in
come taxes between $4,000 and
100000 a year.
Smoot expects to get the bill
through before March Is, to affect
payments on this years taxes.

NOTICE TO THOSE ENGAGED IN
ALASKA SALMON INDUSTRY

ALASKA SALMON INDUSTRY
In compiling statistics of the sal
mon catch in Alaska for the past
season, it was necessary in many
cases to write for additional inform
alton in respect to salmon purchas-
ed. In some instances the informa-
ton could not be furnished, as due
notice had not been received and
complete record was not made at
the time of the purchase.
From now on it is desired that in
connection with salmon purchased
from Independent seiners and gill
METERS record be made of the name
of the waters fshed and the num-
Der of salmon, by species, taken in
each, as we'll as the names of tho
fishing boats and the persons from
whom the fish are purchased. Form
No. 632 for reporting statistics of
the fishing industry of Alaska in the
season of 1927 and thereafter will
require this information. Copies of
Form No. 632 will be distributed
in due time.

reasons but some of them are pre- sented here,' then I would have considered his decision fair and just, for he might be withholding certain reasons which would be sufficient to warrant an adverse decision" Thompson said.
 The chief counsel then attacked Judge Thayer's contention that further proof that Madeiros' con- fession was untrue was to be found in the fact that he was unable to describe the scene of the crimes.
 Thompson said Madeiros was in South Braintree only once in his life-on the day of the double mur- der. and hence could not be expect ed to be familiar with the locale.
 If Madeiros had shown an in- innate knowledge of the locality in which the crimes were committed, Thompson argued. the government would have demanded to know how he had gained tis knowledge in view of te fact that his only visit to South Braintree was on the day in question"
 Madeiros Was Drunk
 On the day of the murders Ma deiros was drunk, Thompson said, and considering the excitement at tending the hold-up 1t was not surprising that he recalled only the vaguest details of the neighborhood in which the old-up occurred.
 Thompson stated that the charges that Madeiros' confession was spurious or the result of coach ing" on the part of Sacco-Vanzetti lawyers, were unwarranted and un- fair.
 From the very beginning" Thompson said, "the government was invited to participate with us in the developments of the case as regards Madeiros. They had ample opportunity to follow 1t through and obtain first-hand data on the matter. They did not join with us, however, and with this fact in view 1t seems to me pretty late in the day for the government to come forward with charges that Madei- ros' confession resulted from coaching on our part"
 The question of Madeiros' "timid- ity" was then considered.
 Thompson read that part of Judge Thayer's decision which quoted Madeiros as saying he was scared" when the shooting began during the South Braintree hold up.
 'The judge contends that the Morellis (members of notorious Providence, R. l., gang named by Madeiros as being responsible for

,JUDGE ASSAILED
 IN SACCO TRIAL
Lawyer in Famous Sacco-Yan- nti Case Presents Arguments

Boston, Jan. 2S (UP) = Judge Webster Thayer's 36 specific reasons for denying Nicola Sacco and Bar tolomeo Vanzetti a new trial were vigorously attacked by Attorney Will liam G. Thompson, chief defense counsel, in his arguments before the full bench of the state supreme court here today.
 Taking the judges reasons as list ed in his decision one by one, Thompson tried to show the court that Thayer had given unfair con- sideration to the confession of Celes- tino Madeiros, basis of the latest move in the slx-year battle to save the convicted slayers from the elec- tric chair.
 Madeiros himself Is scheduled to die in the, electric chair April 27 for the murder of Wrentham bank cashier.
 Thompson charged Judge Thayer with "a lack of nationality, a lack of consistent, logical thought" and further stated that the trial judge was on many occasions self-contra- dictory.
 Judge Thayer, from his decision in this case, gives the impression that his feeling in the matter is: These men must be guilty declared Thompson. T can come to no other conclusion but his after studying hi. decision, denying new trial to these two men,"
 The chief defense counsel, whe was continuing an attack on Thayei begun at yesterday afternoons ses' sion, criticised the manner in which the judge had charged the jury and stated that the judges reference tt this charge in his decision was incon' sistent with the facts.
 Much Self Praise

the South Braintree crimes) would not have taken a timid man such as Madeiros with them for the hold-up.
 ..4eiros has said that when he he'd up the cashier of the Wren tham bank (the crime for which he must die in the electric cair) he fired the shot that killed the cashier because he thought he saw the cashier reaching for a gun. This would seem to bear out Ma deiros' fear of gunfire. There Is . great difference between being scared and being timid.
 Then the defense lawyer consid- cred each of the 36 reasons given by Judge Thayer for disbelieving Madeiros' confession.
 One question involved concerned the number of automobiles used in the South Braintree hold-up that | resulted in the shooting to death of Frederick Parmenter, payroll mes senger, and Alexander Berardelli, guard, on April 15, 1920.
 In his confession, Maderios stated that two automobiles were used, a Buick and a Hudson. In his decision, Judge Thayer pointed to the fact that 60 cents was found on the front seat of the Buick, proving. he said, that Madeiros was lying when, he claimed the robbers escaped in a Hudson.
 Thompson called the judges de- cision on this point absurd" He said testimony at the trial showed that the 60. cents was found on the boards beneath the front seat. not on the seat. He pointed to the fact ''s"t the approximately s15.000 stolen was contained In steel boxes
 .e W1s little likelihood that tho co cents was part of this r,
 The judge cited, as another req SC .., De.Icf that Madeiros was lying, the latter's statement that he had expected to get s4000 or s5,000 as his share of the hold-up money The judge pointed to the fact that Madeiro's actual share would natur- ally be one-sixth of the total, six men having participated in the robbery according to his story. Madeiros' share would therefore be only s2,- 629.43 instead of $4,00O or s5,000 the judge stated.
 Thompson said this was another absurd conclusion. He said that Madeiros' expectations had been based on the belief that consider ably more than s15, 900 would be ob- tained in the robbery.
 He therefore supposed that his one-sixth share of the total would

RUM STORAGE.
RATES GUT

Comptroller General McCarl gave
the, Prohibition Unit something to
be thankful for today by decision
which virtually cuts in half storage
charges on barrels of confiscated
alcohol.
The dry office refused to pay the
bill of $477.75 submitted by the
Quackenbush Warehouse Company,
protesting that the charge for
storage and labor was excessive.
The company appealed to McCarl.
The ruling took into consideration
the fact that no contract or agree
ment had been made as to the
rate to be charged for the storage
of the alcohol.
McCarI decided, therefore, that
the rate should be no higher than
the prevailing rates given in other
cases.
Investigation OF the company rec
ords showed that so cents a barrel
was a fair price. and the Comptrol.
Ter General authorized settlement
at that rate.
