teen American missionaries, includ-
ing nine women, remained at their

SOME CUTS ASSURED

Washington, May 22.-(R-A
$205, ,O00, 900 Senate tax reduction
bill was bound for the congressional
adjustment room today, there to
meet its $500, ,000, 900 House partner
for a reconciliation Of differences.
The Senate passed its measure
late last night after several at
tempts to attach tariff and farm
riders were overwhelmingly defeat
ed, with the Democrats aiding the
Republicans in refusing saddles to
these proposals.
These two groups parted COM
pany, however, in a stirring last
minute battle which the Republicans
won. thus keeping their program
within range Of the 5000, ,000, 900 re-
duction limitation set by President
Coolidge and Secretary Mellon.
Dawes Casts Deciding Vote
In this drive the Democrats were
defeated after two roll calls, the
last resulting in a tie vote which
was broken by Vice President
Dawes, on the one plank Of their
1926, ,000, 900 program they previous
~ had placed in the bill-a gradual
ed scale of lower rates on corpora
tions with incomes under $4,000.
Elimination of this provision
Topped off s24,000,000 in the total
reduction provided by the measure,
which was then approved without q
record vote. On the first vote on
this provision the Democrats won,
81 to 33. But Senator Blease, Dem
ocrat, South Carolina, asked. re-
consideration after his attention had
been called that he was paired with
Senator Frazier, Republican, North
Dakota, who had not voted.
On the second vote the tie re-
suited, although the Democrats
seemed to have won again when
Senator Blaine, Republican, Wiscon-
sin, voted with them after voting
with the Republicans the first time.
He changed his vote, however, say
ing he had misunderstood the ques-
tion. This left the tie, 33 to 33, and
Vice President Dawes cast his first
vote since taking office, while the
Senate applauded.
McMastcr Votes with Democrats
Senator McMaster, Republican,
South Dakota, was the only member
leaving his party ranks on the vote,
lining up with the Democrats.
It probably will be several days
before an agreement Is reached be-
tween the Senate and House con-
ferees, but leaders are confident the
measure can be whipped into shape
for final approval by both the Sen
ate and House and sent to the presi-
dent by the end Of the week. Ad-
journment Of Congress by Saturday
or early next week is now planned,
Meanwhile the president set $780,

DEMOCRATS IN
TEXAS TO HAVE
HEATED FIGHT
Two Powerful Factions Seek
Control of Convention at
Beaumont

Dallas, Tex, May 22.-(AP)-
With two powerful factions flaunt-
ing banners, Texas Democrats were
aligned ct Beaumount for their state
convention today in . spirited fight
centering on efforts Of . minority
group to eventually add 40, more
delegates to the list Of Governor
Smith Of New. York. -
The Smith faction .professed ia
sec q good omen in the selection OF
w. L. Dean, author Of the Texas pro-
hibition statute, as temporary chair
man Of the Beaumont session. Dean
has been favored by Governor Dan
Moody, who, although heading the
strong "harmony'' group which
seeks > dry platform plank and q
delegation uninstructed for any
presidential candidate, hes an.
nounced support Of any nominee Sc.
lected at the Democratic national
convention.
|; Moody's stand has brought q
charge from the constitutional or
ultra dry group, that the harmony
faction is working secretly for Gov
ernor Smith. While Moody voiced
his opposition to Governor Smith,
he announced that . candidate
pledged to law enforcement would
receive his support. With this pos
sibilitv Of , split in the dry ranks
prevailing, Smith supporters indi-
Gated they were ready to join the
harmony forces in the move to send
an uninstructed delegation to Hous-
ton.
Pre-convention sessions produced
rumors Of q trade between the
Moody forces and the Smith sup
porters TO allow the latter 70 name
some delegates to Houston favorable
70 the New York governor and to
abolish the unit rule governing the
state's 70 votes, but this was denied
BY Moody.

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING

There is something ever sought
but hard to find, though the Is
Hand Club discovers that the
phrase very nearly describes its
practice in renting its rooms and
equipments.
AT meeting of the trustees
held last week at the home of the
president, Mrs. 7. Hansen, a sur
vey was made of the actual cost
of providing the hall, club room,
kitchen and equipment for public
affairs. Counting the expense OF
lighting, heating, janitor service,
breakage and mcidentals, ii was
found that the charges were low
er than the cost of operating, so
that for most of the functions the
Club was actually out of pocket.
To guard aginst deficit on
this account, the trustees adopted a
policy of charging enough to meet
the cost of operation, with no pro-
fit to the Club, and which they
submit should be maintained if
the affairs are to be managed on
a business basis. The new schedule
is published elsewhere in this is
sue. Besides the ordinary expenses,
S4.0O per month goes for insur-
ance and taxes.
The treasurer statement shows
the Club is not running behind,
but making needed improvements.
While the men quaff their cof.
fee, they do not realize that the
faithful women are working away
with half an equipment, there be-
ing on hand only about sixty set
ups. Now the trustees are purchas-
ing enough silverware and cups
to accommodate at least 175 at one
sitting. This will please those who
serve, as well as those who sup.
The next party given by the
Club will be on Hallowe EN- when
some lively amusement will be pro-
vided for young and old, as Mr..
Mackie and Mrs. Stewart are said
to have a whole bag of tricks, So
watch out
