ON LIFE OF GREW
State Department Scouts Report OF
Assassination Plot-Receives
Mouhtar Bey.

State Department officials declined
today to attach any importance to
published reports to the effect that
Ambassador Crews life had been
threatened before his departure in Au-
gust for Turkey. High officials Of
the department denied ever having
heard of any plot to assassinate the
American Ambassador, nor had any
extraordinary precautions been taken
to guard his life.
Reports concerning precautions
taken to guard the new Turkish Am
bassador, Ahmed Mouhtar Bey, upon
his arrival in Washington Monday at
midnight, have led to considerable
speculation in some quarters, some Of
which have taken the view that a plot
existed to assassinate the Turkish Am.
bassador to the United States and the
American Ambassador to Turkey. The
State Department has consistently de-
clined to confirm the existence Of any
such reported plots.
Mouhtar Bey, accompanied by his
staff. including Bedy Bey, counselor.
who acted as interpreter, called at the
State Department at 1870 o'clock this
morning to present his credentials to
Secretary Kellogg and arrange for
his formal presentation to the Presi-
dent at the White House.

MEXICO CITY, November 30.-An

K|DWELL DENIED
PLACE IN TRIAL
Justice Siddons Says He Can.
not Intervene in Criminal
Case Against Sinclair.

Justice Siddons of the District Su.
preme Court today denied the applica-
ton of Edward j. Kidwell, who was
a juror in the Fall-Sinclair oil trial, to
intervene as a respondent in the con-
tempt of court proceedings instituted
by United States Attorney Peyton
Gordon against Harry F. Sinclair and
others, for alleged shadowing of men,
bers of the jury. Kidwell was the juror
alleged to have discussed the case
while it was in progress. He has de-
MED this.
The court declared it is clear that
Kidwell could not intervene as party
petitioner nor ''in the opinion of the
court may he be admitted as a re-
spondent in this proceeding on his ap-
plication."
The action Of the court was not un.
expected as the general view Of the
lawyers about the courthouse was
that there isn precedent for an .ap-
plication to intervene In a criminal
proceeding.
The memorandum opinion filed by
Justice Siddons is brief and reads:
II have given consideration to the
petition submitted to me on Monday
of this week on behalf Of Edward
j. Kidwell seeking leave to intervene
in Criminal Contempt Case No. IT,

sion that such a petition should not

MELLON ATTACKS
c. OF c. TAX APPEAL
Secretary Indorses Presi-
dents Stand on $225, ,0OO,-
600 Reduction.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Administration leaders today threw
more cold water on the proposals Of
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States for $400,000.000 tax
reduction instead Of the $225, 900. 900
they had planned.
Replying quickly to the latest state
ment Of the chamber, made public last
night, which said the larger reduction
would be both sound and practicable,
Secretary Mellon today indorsed the
stand previously taken by President
Coolidge on the question, and Rep
resentative Tilson of Connecticut. Re-
publican House leader, declared he
would prefer to follow "such conser-
vative guessers as President Coolidge
and Secretary Mellon"
The Secretary regarded tho de-
mands of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States for 0,000.-
900 tax reduction as illogical and
impossible il balance budget is to
be retained. He conceded the organi-
zation's right to make such request
whether it is logical or illogical, but
believes the $225,0O0,000 reduction
he recommended should be the limit.
Corporation Tax Too High.
The Secretary holds that the cor.
poration tax Is too high and should
be reduced even below the IL per
cent recommended by the House
ways and means committee II con-
ditions permitted. But at present
he does not believe the revenues will
permit of further reduction.
He pointed out that this would not
be the last tax cut for the country,
as there is reason to believe that
with the increase in business other
reductions would be possible.
No Reference to President.
In the chambers statement there
is no direct reference to Presi-
dent Coolidge, who, it was said last
week at the White House, was highly
1ispleased with the chamber for its
persistency in advocating a $400, 0,000,.
900 tax slash in the face of the ad-
ministration's insistence that the pro-
spective reduction be limited to $685.
900 900. On Mr.. Coolidge's behalf. it
was said as well, that he considered
the chambers attitude on department
expenditures inconsistent with it's tax
reduction position.
"All the tax reductions and appeals
advocated by the chamber" the state.
, ment declared, would cut our ma
tional revenue not to exceed $780,
000, 900.
Last Estimate Cited.
"The last official estimate Of the
Treasury points to surplus of $455,-
100000 on June 80. 1928. after max
ing provisions for statutory require
ments for national debt reduction.
Therefore, tax cut of $400. 200, 900 on
the taxes paid in the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1928. would use only $780,
10000. leaving surplus Of at least
$255 ,00O. .000."
The ways and means committee will
meet tomorrow to take up alien prop
erty legislation, returning Friday to
the revenue bill. The measure, which
calls for total reduction Of $780,
100000, will be given final approval,
it is expected, before the week end and
be ready for introduction on the first
day of the congressional, session.

FIRE PROTECTION
MODERN|z|NG PLAN
GIVEN IN BUDGET
$685., $50 viii Be Asked for
400 More Hydrants and
New Mains.
PROGRAM SUBSTITUTED
| FOR HIGH PRESSURE
Large Part of Improvement Would
Be in District of Greatest
Valuations.

Virtually all recommendations for
undermining Washington's fire-protec-
tion system through an increase In
the water supply and the installation
Of additional fire hydrants in the high
valuation district, made to the Com
missioners several months ago by a
special committee appointed to study
the advisability of installing high.
pressure system, have been included
in the municipal budget for the next
fiscal year, it was learned today at the
District Building.
While the committee estimated that
$686,350 would be needed to carry out
all of its recommendations, the items
in the budget for this purpose do not
total this sum, it was said, as pro-
visions have been made to extend
some Of the projects over a two-year
period.
400 More Hydrants Asked.
The committees program called for
the installation of 400 additional fire
hydrants. 81 of which would be in the
high-value district, and the installation
of the following water mains: A "a
inch main in B street from Seven
teenth to Fourteenth street, a 12-inch
main in B and Ninth streets from
Fourteenth street to Louisiana avenue.
a 12-inch main in Tenth street from
K street to Pennsylvania avenue.
12-inch main in Eighteenth street from
Pennsylvania avenue to F street, q
26-inch main in, M street from New
Hampshire avenue to Eleventh street.
16-inch main in. Reservoir street and
Wisconsin avenue from p street to
Thirty-fourth street, 12-inch main in
Georgia avenue from Fairmont street
to Park road and the replacement OF
all 4-inch mains used for hydrant pur-
poses and 6-inch mains.
The cost Of replacing the four-inch
mains was estimated at 100000. The
budget, however, it is understood,
contemplates the spreading OF this
work over a two-year period and con.
tains an item of $4,000 for compile
ton of one-half Of the project in the
next fiscal year.
Mains Held Inadequate.
The committee recommended the
modernization Of the fire protection
system in lieu Of the proposed high
pressure system, chiefly because Of
the tremendous expense which the
latter would involve, and also
| it would necessitate because of the
irost, limiting It to the business sec.
| ton, whereas under its plan additional
protection would be afforded to all
sections.
The committee found during its In
vestigation that there is a deplorable
lack Of proper water supply for fire.
fighting purposes in the congested
section, due to inadequate water mains
and an insufficient number Of fire hy-
drants, and that the fire-fighting ia
cilities of the District have not kept
pace with the growth of the city.
