Alexander Dumas the elder left q
lengthy autobiography, written In his
own hand, which has recently come to
light, and which reveals some personal
adventures of tie eminent romanticist
OF which his millions Of readers in all
parts of the world knew nothing. This
precious literary discovery was made by
Mr.. Richard S. Garrett long associated
with Blackwood's Magazine, which, by
a strange coincidence. was che first TO
give recognition to the author of THE
Three Musketeers" and Monte Cristo :"
Mr.. Garrett states that his discovery
OF Dumas manuscript is in itself a ro-
nance, promised to his readers later
Meantime he has translated and pub
lished some of the memoirs. One chap
ter relates to what the creator of
Monte Cristo" intended to be an in
cognito visit to MarSeille. In order to
inspect the Chateau diff and see for
himself IL travellers tales were true. At
the grim prison, which is perched on
the small rock just beyond the harbor,
he found all had been correctly re-
ported. He was solemnly shown the
cell OF Edmund Dantes and of the Able
Faria, and the very point at which
Dantes was precipitated into the sea was
carefully disclosed
In MarSeille he was taken to the
home of Morel, in the Allees de Meillan,
and Of Mercedes, at the Galatians. But,
as Dumas dryly observes, these situa-
tions never had any actual existence
except as scenery in the Theatre His
torique in Paris. when in 1886 1.-THE
Count Of Monte Cristo" was dramatized
for the first time. II visitors express a
wish to examine these things, the
obliging guides see that they are not
disanoointed. Much the same condi-
ton prevails today in the first port of
France. At Chateau DIFF the guides
grudgingly turn from discourses on
Monte Cristo" to show the dungeons
OF Mirabeau and Of the Man with the
Iron Mask. proving, as Dumas says, that
it is the privilege of the romancer to
STAY the characters exhibited by his

SENATE To PASS
TAX GUT BILL

The American people were
assured a $160, 900, 600 tax, reduc-
ton gift for Christmas when Sen
ate leaders agreed today to pass
the administrations measure be-
fore nightfall.
Three proposals to amend were
pending, but administration
leaders q are rallying votes to pre-
vent their adoption because any
change in the resolution will
necessitate its return to the
House. If passed by the Senate
in its present form the measure
will 60 direct to the White House
for President Hoover'S approval.
In either event the tax paying
public will get its tax reduction
gift before Christmas, although
Federal taxes win not be due un-
til next March Is.
McNTaster Defeated
The Senate already has re-
jected one proposal, the Nc
Master plan to use $50, 1000, 600
to reduce freight rates on wheat,
cattle and other farm products.
This proposal, entirely eliminat-
ing tax reduction, was rejected by
a vote of 10 to so. Seven Re
publicans, Blaine, Brookhart,
Frazier, Howell, McMaster. Nor
beck and Nye, and five Demo.
Gratis, Blease, Harris, Heflin,
Sheppard and Smith. voted for it.
Senator McMaster (R.) of
South Dakota, its author has
sponsored his plan again aS an
amendment to the bill. Its ye-
lection was assured, since in its
new form it would provide for
tax reduction as well as q slash
in freight rates on farm prod
ucts.
A second substitute proposal,
suggested by Senator Thomas,
(D.3 of Oklahoma, would elimi-
nate tax reduction and apply the
$3.50, ,0O0, 900 Treasury surplus to
building good roads and public
buildings. Thomas would use
500, ,OO0, 900 on good roads and
$50, ,0O0. 900 on new Federal build
ings. Both appropriations would
be in addition to the regular sums
allotted for both purposes by the
budget.
The Thomas plan was certain
to meet defeat, SINCE administra-
tion leaders are committed to
using the surplus for tax reduc-
tion. They also contended the
regular appropriations for good
roads and public buildings would
take care of all the public work
the Government can afford at
this time.
COuzens Asks New Slash
An amendment by Senator Cou-
Zens. (R.) of Michigan, would al
low an additional $68, 10000 re-
duction on the tax on capital
losses and gains from 1917 to 10
per cent. He would make this
slash applicable in 1881 on the
gains or loses for the year 1880.
In this manner the reduction
would not take effect on the out
trend of prices on the New York
stock exchange. It, too, was op-
posed by administration leaders,
and seemed likely to be defeated

VETS IN HOUSE
SEEK To AVOID
SPLITTING

Militant wet leaders Of the
House today pledged themselves
to present a united front in an
intensive congressional driye on
the prohibition amendment, thus
dispelling the likelihood Of q
serious split in their ranks.
Although there is difference Of
opinion among the <anti-prohibi-
tionists as to the best method Of
carrying on their fight in the face
Of an overwhelming dry strength
In Congress, advocates OF con,
flicting views declared that they
would stick together on the main
issue.
Meeting To Be Called
Representative j. Charles Lin
thicum (R.l Of Maryland, chair
men Of the unofficial COMMITTEES
for modification Of the prohibi-
ton law, announced that he would
call a meeting after the Christ
mas recess and suggested that
new officers may be selected.
This action followed the plan
of Representative LaGuardla tR.l
of New York. Schafer (R0 OF
wisconsin, and Englebright RJ
of California TO gather vets TO.
eether today for a discussion OF
the legislative situation. Although
some vets interpreted this as q
serious split, all parties today
claimed that they would work IN
harmony.
MANY Of us wsnt to get con-
certed action among the vets,
explained Schafer. Every oay
facts and figures on prohibition
are being produced which ought
to be presented to Congress ana
the people. We are NOT Trying
to disrupt the wet committee, but
seeking action. I believe thai
there are fully 125 out OF 435
members of the House who would
vote to modify the prohibition
law on a showdown. Many
others are ready to change per-
sonally, but do not think the
sentiment has changed enough IN
their districts as yet"
Mrs, Kahn Sees Harmony
Mrs. Florence Kahn. Republic
can Congresswoman from Cali
fornia, who is secretary OF the
Linthieum committee, said she
had no objection to the La
Guardia- -Schaf Ter Englebright move
and predicted harmony in the
anti.prohibition ranks.
Representative Black CD OF
New York, however, objected TO
any action being taken outside
Of the regularly organized wet
bloc"
"wet bloc" said Representative
WEIGH (R.) of California. IN
fact, right now, there aren t
enough militant vets In the
House to split them up"
Among the questions on which
some vets are seeking concerted
action are the annual appropri-
alton alton fof for a4iilb5iittiieaa enforcement
to come before the House after
Christmas, the Schafer bill pro
viding for dry referendum In the
1880 census. the Kahn bill to in
demify innocent victims Of pro.
hibition officers. the Sheppard
bill peualizing buyers Of liquor
and the various modification
plans.

WATCH GRUNDY
|. ASSIGNMENTS
IN SENATE

A dozen choice assignments on
Senate committees win be awarded
today by the Republican COM
mittee on committees in the
Senate.
The greatest interest attached
to the appointments that win go
to Senator Joseph r. Grundy,
the "so-called "grand-daddy Of
all lobbyists" now safely enrolled
as Pennsylvania's Junior Senator.
Grundy. in all probability, win
be placed on. the Senate Manu-
features Committee, because Of
his long experience in the manu-.
featuring industry, and this VIII
be his most important assign
ment.
Ranks as Senate Baby

facturers Committee, incidentally.
will bring him under the chair
manship OF Senator Young
Bob" La toilette Of Wisconsin,
one Of those States described by
the pennsylvanian as backward"
He may also win a post on the
senate Committee on Banking
and Currency, which would place
him under the chairmanshtp OF
Senator. Norbeck CR.) Of South
Dakota. who comes from another
of Grundy's backward States.
The Pennsylvania, while he
naturally would desire places on
the important Finance anL Ap-
preparations committees, viii have
| to wait many years before rcceiv-
ing such assignments. He now
ranks as the, Senate's newest
member and consequently VIII
have to yield to every other mem
Der in the body on assignments,
because Of the seniority rule. :.
As one Republican leader put
it, "Grundy will have to beeon1s
acclimated to the Senate's lack
asses before he is eligible for .
major committee"
The most important post TO be.
awarded by the Committee on
Committees will be the chair
rnanship Of the powerful Appro-
priations Committee. This will
go to Senator Wesley L. Jones,
Of washington. He already has
entered upon his duties.
johnson to Fill Vacancy

legislation. Senator Hiram john
son, Of Cal, will get this chair
| manship, being in turn succeeded

opponent of the World Court. will

tions Committee. The vacancy
