Decision Seen as Near in
Both Problems. ,

Wilson recount committee told the
senate today that Senator Elect
Ware of Pennsylvania was elected
to the senate by a majority of
more than 10000 legal votes.
BIZ United PreSs
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Getting
down to business, the house took up
the $3.50, 100000 tax reduction resolu-
ton today and the senate moved to-
ward vote upon the three-year-old
Ware case. Leaders believe they
have a good chance to dispose of
both these major problems before
night.
A somewhat embarrassing, but
hardly formidable opposition is
hindering the program for adoption
of the tax reduction resolution. The
farm bloc members have not taken
kindly to the administration pro-
posal. Privately they call it "a Wall
Street tax reduction" but thus far
no organized attack against it has
been lodged.
A report was submitted by the
privileges and elections committee
holding Senator Elect William S.
Ware of Pennsylvania won his cleo
ton in 1925. 1t was signed by the
Republican members of the commit
tee. The Democrats submitted q
minority report, refusing to agree
that Ware was elected, but making
no strong effort to gain the seat for
Wares Democratic opponent, Will
liam B. Wilson.
While such election cases some
times require weeks for considera-
ton, the Democrats appeared to be
willing to vote upon the matter
without a lengthy fight. While the
Wilson contest seems lost, a major
ity of the senate appears to be
lined up against Ware on the ground

Washington. Feb. 2S CP-The na- tional capital is rapidly acquiring holiday garb and the thousands of visitors who will come here for the inauguration of Herbert Hoover as the thirty-first president of the United States probably will find the city more gaily bedecked than at any time in it's history.
 Already hundreds of flags and miles of red. white and blue bunting have been hung out and inaugural officials believe that the decorations that will be Haunted along Pennsyl- vania avenue will eclipse any simi- lar display in the United States.
 While the details that will add tended to. the committee in charge is applying itself also to the more serious aspects-those of accommo- dating the crowds and preventing any hitch in the carefully laid plans for the parade.

 Firms in America

New York, Feb. 3 R-Govern- ment counsel announced today that after almost two years of litigation the fight of the United States o break up operation of the so-called Franco-German potash trust in this country has ended. and all relief sought had been obtained.
 Under a decree signed by Federal Judge William Bondy the Deutsches Kalisyndikat and the Societe Com merciale des Potasses D'Alsace are enjoined from combining in the United States to violate the anti trust laws. from fixing resale prices and from making unfair discrimina- tions among purchasers of potash.

Donovan. and counsel for the foreign companies, including Emory R. Buckner. Gilbert H. Mon- tague and Thurlow M. Gordon.
 The decree recognizes machinery set up under the laws of foreign na- tions for conducting their American business. but also upholds the gov- ernment's contention that monopo- lies may not be maintained here in violation of the state or federal lava.

 RECORD COPPER PRICE
Domestic and Export Product at Highest Mark
 in Ten Years

New York, Feb. 2s @ - The scramble by consumers to buy cop per today had sent the price of the metal up one-half cent pound to 19 1-4 cents. Sales of both do- mestic and export copper were re- ported to have been made at that price, the highest in 10 years and a rise of one and one-quarter cents this week.
 In trade circles the situation was described as out of hand because ultimate consumers here and abroad were buying so much copper they were leaving the producers short of the metal and forcing the latter to withdraw from the market. The ad- vance was expected to continue un- til a new level of stability between 19 1-2 and 20 cents is reached.
 No recessions were expected until June at the earliest.
 The American Brass company subsidiary of the Anaconda Copper Mining company. raised prices on it's products one-quarter to one-half a cent a pound to keep pace with the mounting quotations of the re- fined metal.
 Engineering and Mining Journal describing the copper market of the last few days as turbulent and somewhat panicky. reported sales o! export copper this month totaled 63.OO0 tons. with no signs of letur in demand. while domestic purchases in the past week totaled 26.000 tons more than half of it for June de- livery.
 Speculative demand is said to have been a factor in the present rise in spite of efforts of producers to prevent 1t.

The latest action is that Of Alexander Sausanavicius against Maggie Sausanavicius, brought through Attorney Charles w. Tamu- lonis. the plaintiff claiming betrayal of trust and the breaking of an agreement.

 On or about August 16. 1926. the plaintiff alleges that he purchased from Charlotte Marie Nelson prop erty at 96 Pleasant street.
