Doty's pardon from prison was
signed by President Doumergue on

nrise to Dotv. as recent letters to
several friends, who helped to obtain
his pardon, spoke Of his plans for the
immediate future as though believing
that he must remain in the Legion.

he wished. He had served the first
few months Of his sentence in the

Balance Left for Merger.

Advisability Of the combination, the
Herald-Tribuhe says, is seen in the
steel trade as due to the present low
prices being obtained throughout the
industry and the fact that United
States Steel and Bethlehem are better
able to meet such conditions due to
their ability to purchase large quanti-
ties Of raw materials at relatively low
prices. This has forced the independ-
ents to the realization of the ad-
vantages they would gain through
combining into new, large corpora
ton able to meet the competition of
the two leaders of the industry.
The announcement made at the time
Of the offering of the $4,000, 900 bonds
of Youngstown Sheet & Tube said the
purpose of the issue was to refund
the company's outstanding bonded
debt of $64,422, 500. This leaves a ball
ance that can be employed for other
purposes. the Herald-Tribune points
out. placing the company in a position

SCOTT HAD limited
SUICIDE, WIFE SAID

Seek Brain of Convict,
Former Millionaire.
By the Associated Press.

hGSONAoNCA
CHICAGO, October 10. In the
morgue, where they had taken him,
q simple eulogy was spoken over Rus
sell Scott yesterday by the wife who
for three years worked to save him
from the court sentence, ITO be
hanged by the neck until dead"
"The poor kid were her only
words for Scott, who took his own
life by hanging in his Jail cell Satur-
day night.
To her the suicide of Russell Scott
on the eve of a new effort by the
State to send him to his death for the
murder of drug clerk in a hold-up
three years ago was not unexpected.
He had hinted vaguely of self-de-
struction before, she said In a let
ter he wrote her week ago Scott
spoke feelingly OF his earlier married
life and their happiness together. In
closing, he wrote: please get down
on your knees and ask for my for
giveness."
Seer ID Cheerful, She Said.
In her visit with Scott a few hours
before his body was found, Mrs. Scott
said her husband seemed more cheer
full and they made plans for re-estab-
fishing a home for their three chill
dren.
Russell Scott in death had become
today a subject of interest to many
who had evidenced no interest in him
alive. Coroner Oscar Wolff said he
had received many requests from
alienists and medical schools of uni.
versities for the brain of Scott. SO
that they might seek the secret that
made Scott a millionaire--and then a
: killer.
: The requests probably all will be
denied, the coroner s..dicated The
body, which was found hanging from
a Nose made of Scott's belt, probably
Twill be turned over to his widow or
q his father for burial in Detroit-the
city in which he touched the peak of
respectability and promotional success
with his roit-Windsor Bridge prof.
ect.
During his years of imprisonment
years in which he escaped the gallows
flve times, once by a margin of only
flve hours-ScOtt has had two untir.
ing friends-his father and his wife.
Only fe hours before Scott took
his own life there came to the Jail q
money-order for SIS from the father
the largest single contribution he had
yet been able - make to his son.
Mrs. Scott'S. Iabors in her husbands
behalf have been continuous and have
included pYblic appearances and a pub
lie fast to obtain funds for Scott
long l~gal warfare.
Newspaper men at the Cook County
Jail today recalled that Scott's suicide
brought confirmation of grim prophe
cy once pna6e by Dickie Loeb, who
with Nathan Leopold jr., is serving
q life sentence for the murder of lit
tie Bobbie Franks. So sure was he
that Scott, Bernard Grant and himself
would not be hanged that he offered
to wager on it.
Of the three, two have met violent
deaths. Grant, ~outhful slayer of q
policeman, was stabbed to death in
Jail by Walter Krauser his partner il

TAX CUT MAY HIT
CONGRESS PORK
Presidents Desire for Slash
and Debt Reduction to
Doom Pet Projects.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The pork barrel" the popular
characterization Of Federal appropris-
tions for local or sectional projects
sponsored each session by members
of Congress, may be doomed to be
empty at the next Congress.
This has been indicated by the
views emanating from the White
House which represented President
Coolidge as seeking both the reduc-
ton of the national public debt and
of taxes and a strict adherence by
Congress to economy in Government
administration.
The President, while he Is repre-
sented as feeling the Mississippi flood
problem and other related projects
must be given a place in the Gov
ernment budget, is understood to con-
slider that executive approval should
be given only to such projects as
are most urgent and where their
need is deemed imperative.
Proposals to Be Scrutinized.
Although the major needs Of the
country, such as the flood, will =.
given a place in his budget program.
experiments and proposals in general
are expected to be submitted to a
scrutiny Of a close and careful kind
before White House approval is
granted.
A program Of $4OO, 100000 tax re.
duction has been formulated by the
United States Chamber Of Commerce
and is being distributed to it's 1900
member organizations for referen.
dunn vote to determine it's policy dur
ing the congressional deliberations on
revenue legislation. The program
calls for repeal of the Federal estate
tax and the war excise levies and
reduction of the corporate income
taxes. The Government officials have
placed the reduction estimate in the
neighborhood of 100000, 900.
Coolidge Seeks Cooperation.
Mr.. Coolidge feels that if the mem
bers of Congress cooperate with him
in watching expenditures carefully
there can be reduction Of the taxes
and a substantial cutting down Of
the debt, despite the estimate from
the Treasury which placed the sur.
plus for next year short OF what II
has been in the past.
The President also is said to feel
that the greatest boon to the people
would be the wipilIS out OF the ma
tionaI debt, and that IL this was &C
complished the interest now paid on
the debt would satisfy every reasona
BILE request for funds for internal i'm
provements that is made in any one
