SEVERE SEA STORM
HOLDS UP BREMEN.
Fastest Liner Delayed Almost
Three Days in Crossing
Atlantic to New York.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 14.-The
steamship Bremen, fastest ocean liner,
was in port today after battle with an
Atlantic storm which delayed her nearly
three days and resulted in injuries to
10 passengers.
Like handlers taking charge of
fighter at the end of a fierce bout,
fleet of tugs conveyed the liner up
fog-choken New York harbor yesterday,
while marine experts proclaimed her
victorious in her first real test against
the fury of Winter sea.
The proportions of the hurricane
through which the Bremen fought her
way from Bremen and Cherbourg with
1900 passengers were indicated by the
reduction of her speed on the voyage.
The ship holds a record for the At
lantic crossing for 4 days, II hours
and AZ minutes, established soon after
she was placed in service last Summer.
On this trip she required days, z
hours and 54 minutes. Her average
speed, % knots, was cut to 17.6.
Twice during the voyage, Capt. Leo
pold Ziegenbein said, the ship was hove
to. Last Saturday, the second day out
from Cherbourg, her run for "a hours
was GU: to 100 miles. She has made
700 miles in "a hours.
Huge waves rolled up by a wind
which reached velocity OF 100 miles
an hour tossed the ship so that she
rolled 18 degrees at one time. The
rolling flung passengers about, resulting
in injuries which were treated by the
ships surgeon.
Among those injured were: J. Led
erer iron manufacturer of Philadelphia,
struck in the chest by large trunk
flung across his cabin by the rolling of
the ship; Mgr. William Mexican OF
Bernardsville, N. j., who lost several
teeth when he was thrown from his seat
in the ships library; and otto Parchkes,
radio manufacturer of Mount Vernon,
N. Y, who fell on the promenade deck,
breaking his arm Col. Sam Park, vice
consul at Biarritz, suffered cut on the
face when the ship lurched while ne
was being shaved.

TACNA-AR|CA PACT
IS HELD DANGEROUS
Former Bolivian Minister
Says Agreement Is Not
Satisfactory.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RIVERSIDE, Calf, December a.
Speaking before the Institute of Inter-
national Relations here last night, j. L..
Tejada, former minister of finance OF
Bolivia, asserted that the Tacna-Arica
agreement had aggravated international
problems in South America and that
Bolivia, dissatisfied with its economic
and political servitude," has become
a powder barrel ready to explode.
I'm her present situation, and with
historic antecedents," he said, 'it is
necessary for Bolivia to proclaim loudly
and energetically to the world, and
especially to the United States, that
the last agreement between Peru ana
Chile, in the way in which it has been
concluded, not only has not eliminated
one of the gravest international prop
lens of South America, but has, on the
contrary, aggravated it. 1t will not
establish peace on the continent.
Bolivia asks only the examination OF
her cause-that consideration be taken
of her exceptional national wealth and
the advances she is making in eco
nomic development-and then asks II
she, the third largest country in South
America, can continue longer deprived
!, of her rights, and condemned to eco
nomic and political servitude. Until this
problem is solved, the peace and tran
quality of South America can always be
menaced."

SHELBY AND KELLY
|. PREPARE DEFENSE
FOR COMING TRIAL
Hearing on Charges of In
efficiency Is Set for Next
Wednesday.
SERVICE ON ACCUSED
COMPLETED YESTERDAY
Role of Former Policeman Allen
Before Board Still
Problematical.

Attorneys for Inspector William S.
Shelby and Lieut.. E. j. Kelly began
preparation today of the defense against
charges of inefficiency on which the
men will be brought TO trial before
a special trial board next Wednesday.
The charges were served on the men
late yesterday. Nine days had been
spent in their preparation. They varied
very little from the charges as origi-
nally prepared by a special board of
inquiry set up by the Commissioners to
investigate the accusation by the July
grand jury that Shelby and Kelly had
bungled the police investigation into
the death of Mrs. Virginia Hurley Nc
Pherson last September a.
Each officer is charged with conduct
prejudicial to the good order and repu-
tation of the force, conduct unbecoming
an officer and inefhciency. To support
the charges against Shelby IL Specifi-
cations are attached. There are Is
specifications attached to Kelly's
charges.
Members Of Board.
The special board which will try the
officers consists of Assistant Engineer
Commissioner Layson E. Atkins, chair
man; j. B. Gordon, District sanitary en-
gineer, and Capt. Herbert G. Whitehurst
co-ordinator and chief engineer of the
District government. The trial will be
held beginning at 10 o'clock Wednesday
at the sixth precinct station, on New
Jersey avenue between d and E streets
Henry I. Quinn and George E. Strong
will defend Shelby and James A. O'Shea
will defend Kelly.
The part that former Policeman Rob-
ert j. Allen will play in the trial is still
problematical. In reply to request
from the prosecution staff for an audi
ence, he sent two tickets to a public
meeting he is conducting tomorrow and
advised the staff to attend. The case
will be prosecuted by Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Robert E. Lynch and Wal
ter L. Fowler.
Merritt o. Chance, foreman of the
July grand jury, which made the charges
against Shelby and Kelly, will be the
principal witness for the prosecution
Other witnesses will include other MEM
bers OF the grand jury, newspaper mer
who covered the story of the death
and policemen who worked on the case

SAYS LEASE STORY
is NOT ACCEPTABLE
Doheny Counsel Explains
Why Oil Man Was Not
Called in Suit.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, December 14.-De-
fense testimony will be resumed Mon
day following the week end recess in the
Governments case against Edward L.
Doheny and the Pan American Petro-
leum Co. for cancellation of valuable
leases held by the Doheny interests in
the Elk Hills, Calf, naval oil reserve.
Questioned by the court yesterday re-
garding his failure to call Doheny to
the witness stand, Norman Sterry, chief
defense counsel, representing the Rich
field Oil Co., which now controls Pan
American, said the multi-millionaire's
explanation of the 100000 he had sent
to Albert B. Fall, former Secretary of
the Interior, was mot acceptable" to
him and he was not prepared to vouch
for the credibility'' of Doheny as a
witness.
He said he also believed Doheny
would stand on his constitutional rights
and refuse to testify in any event.
Instead of the personal testimony of
the millionaire oil operator, Sterry
introduced the transcript OF previous
oil lease trial in which the magnate
testified he never had discussed with
Fall the three Kern County oil leases
the Government now seeks to cancel.
The Government charges the leases
were awarded as a result of 100000
bribe Fall recently was convicted of ac-
cepting from Doheny.
The defense contends the Government
found it necessary to lease the acreage
to protect the reserve from drainage by
nearby private drillings.
Previous witnesses testified the leases
were let by Fall without competitive
bidding following transfer by the late
President Harding of control of naval
oil reserves from the Navy to the In
terror Department.

Obliterating all political lines save
one, the administrations $160,000.0o0
tax reduction resolution swept throug;H.
the Senate today to probable adoption
by nightfall.
Republican regulars and Democrats
alike were united in supporting the tax
cut, and approval by a wide majority
was indicated. Only the small band of
independent Republicans from the West
were opposed to the measure, and while
its opposition was of a determined ma
ture, it apparently had no intention of
preventing vote.
Under the resolution l per cent would
be Topped from all normal income tax
rates, both corporation and individual,
with the cut applying to taxes on ill-
comes on the calendar year now clos
ing. When taxes are collected on in
comes of 1880, the present rates will be
restored, unless further special action
is taken by Congress.
Agreement Is Blocked.
An agreement upon a definite hour
, for voting was blocked, not by the in
dependents, but by Senator Jones of
Washington, the assistant Republican
leader, who said he wanted ample
time for the presentation and consid-
Grafton of amendments. Opposition TO
such an agreement had been expressed
by Brookhart of Iowa, Howell of Ne
braSka and McMaster of South Dakota,
but withdrawn
The proposed reduction in corpora
ton taxes furnished the basis of the
independent groups objection. Its
| members assert that the corporations
have already passed on to the con-
sumner the taxes to be levied on their
incomes of this year, and the reduction
is, in effect. they argue, clear bonus
to these institutions
This view is opposed by Smoot of
Utah and Simmons of North Carolina,
spokesman for the Republican and
Democratic memberships on revenue
questions through their positions as
chairman and ranking minority mem
Der of the finance committee. Both ex-
| pressed the opinion that only in a few
negligible cases would the tax cut take
| on the nature of a bonus to corpora
tions, and, in addition, argued that the
| proposed slash would be beneficial to
| business and serve as both a psychologi-
cal and practical stimulus to trade.
To Act on Amendment.
Before reaching final vote on the
| measure, the Senate was called upon to
dispose of an amendment offered by
Senator CouZens, Republican, Michigan,
which proposed that the capital gains
| and losses tax be reduced from 1912 to
| 10 per cent. The Treasury has ap-
proved this proposal in principle, but
has declared against its enactment
now on the ground that the present
| fiscal condition of the Government will
not warrant approval of the amend
ment
The tax reduction has already been
adopted by the House, and after the
adoption by the Senate the signature
| of President Hoover was the only ad-
ditional step needed to make it effec-
| tive. Mr.. Hoover has expressed his
| approval of the measure.
