Lawlessness Chief
Issue, Says Hooper

Congress cautioned against ex-
ceSsive expenditure which, in
view of forthcoming tax reduc-
ton, might result in Treasury
deficit.
Tax Reduction
The Treasury will close the
fiscal year 1880 with surplus Of
about 100000, and year 1881
with about 100000, which
justifies tax reduction Of about
100000, 900. Normal income
rates should be reduced from
5, and ~ per cent to 4, 2
and u per cent, and the cor.
poration rate from IL to II per
cent.
Foreign Debts
All foreign war debts have
been funded save those of Rus.
STA and Armenia. Senate should
ratify French settlement. Gov.
eminent revenue from foreign
debt sources now equals about
half the annual interest on
Liberty bonds.
General Economic Situation
The country came safely
through the crisis created by the
stock market collapse. There was
some fear that general business
might start retrenchment policies
because of the uneasineSS and
thus cause unemployment, but
that danger is now past, due to
mobilization of governmental
agencies to cooperate with and
encourage general business expan,

Veterans

Conclusion
"The test of the rightfulness of

Norris Wants Action
The insurgent forces, led by
Senator Norris CR.) of Nebraska,
however, will demand an imme-
date decision on Wares seating.
They argue the question has neen

more than two years, ever since
the Reed slush fund committee
revealed in 1925 that the Ware
organization spent 100000 in his
primary election. Norris has in
sisted Ware should be barred be.

The Ware leaders, though, want
to decide the Wilson contest at
the same time. The Senate cleo
tionS subcommittee, which heard
evidence for the last 10 months,

to the Senate, Wares friends be-

Such a verdict when reported
ever, indicated Ware would be de-
MED a seat, regardless Of the out

eventually was indicated when
Wares own supporters announced
a willingness to declare his seat
vacant. The strategy in such a
maneuver would be to permit the
appointment Of a Senator by the
governor Of Pennsylvania. If Ware
were merely declared ineligible
and the Wilson contest held open.
1t was argued by one group. the
governor would be unable to make
an appointment and Pennsylvania
would continue to be limited to
a single Senator. This view how
ever, was debated, some of Wares
friends insisting that with Ware

LITIGATION by the State as its
Senator. With him out, the sec
ond group contended a vacancy
would exist and the governor
could appoint. This appointee,
however would be subject there
after to defending his seat against
Wilson'S contest"
In view Of such a diversity Of
opinion, it seemed probable the
Senate would agree to one more
weeks postponement. This would
bring a verdict sometime next
week and end an election contest
that has hung fire in the Senate
for two years.
Ware himself was here. despite
his recent illness. He plans an
appearance on the floor of the
Senate and a lengthy defense Of
his right to the seat, when debate
gets under way.

Of $4,000 grocery stores in the
United States and Canada, has
announced drastic reductions in
prices Of coffee.
Some idea Of the saving at re-
tail effected by these reductions
in coffee prices may be gained
by the fact that A. & p. sells
2.750,000 pounds of its own
brands Of coffee every week. This
huge quantity Of coffee sold at
retail will mean a savings of up
ward of $4,000 a week for
A & P's customers.

BRAND First to Back
StimsOn's Move to Halt
Russian-Chinese War

The moral force Of most OF the
world was thrown today behind a
move to force Russia and China
to live up to the promises they
made to preserve peace when
they signed the Kellogg BRAND
pact outlawing war.
Taking the initiative in his own
hands, Secretary of State Slim
son sent both belligerent govern
ments a sharp reminder that
they were Signers of the peace
pact, and simultaneously ad-
dressed the So other signers Of
the treaty, notifying them of
what he had done, and express
ing the hope they could by
similar action support this Ameri-
can move in the direction Of
world peace.

world powers, Great Britain,
France, Italy and German.
France, through merican
Charge d'Affaires Armour, was
the first to give formal approval
to Stimson's action, with Britain
following closely.
Foreign Minister BRAND, further
to emphasize his complete accord
with the United States, gave
orders to the French ambassador
to present the American cominuni-
cation and that Of the French at

had to be made known through

The outlook for international

that generally speaking, the
American people are better off
today than they have ever been.
in a material sense.
1.-The problems we are con-
1ronted WITH" he said, "are the
problems Of growth and progress"
It was a voluminous message
which Mr.. Hoover transmitted to
the new Congress, and it con-
tanned recommendations on more
than a score Of problems, ranging
from fiscal affairs to social ser
vice.
On the tariff, with which Con
greSS wrestled unsucceSsfully all
summer, he reiterated his desire
for a tariff beneficial primarily to
agriculture and to sick indus
tries" but he refrained again from
expressing any opinion upon the
original House bill with its high
and general increases in indus
trial rates.
Hasn't Changed Views
He quoted at some length frou
his message to the special session
last April on the tariff, said he
saw no reason to change his views
as therein expressed, and only
added that cit would be most help
full If action should be taken at
any moment" He did say, how
ever, he wanted the flexible pro-
vision maintained. The Senate has
knocked out that provision in the
pending bill, in defiance OF his
wishes.
Taking up the message by
topics, as the President did, the
high points follow:
Foreign relations:
The outlook for peace never
was better. American adherence
to the World Court, under the
Root formula, will be proposed
later in a special message. Steady
withdrawal of American Marines
and soldiers from Nicaragua,
Haiti and China, is contemplated,
although a commission should be
appointed to consider a policy in
this respect in Haiti. Hopes are
high for success at the London
naval conference. The diplo
matte service is being strength
ened, principally in Latin AM
erica.
National Defense
The Army and Navy are both
at a high stage of efficiency, but
both are costing too much to
maintain. Size of both establish
mentS and expense should be cur
tailed to conform with the
brighter outlook for continued
world peace.
Government Finances

ment are in sound condition.

sentenced to five years by Justice
Hitz for robbery.
Three other drops" were kicked
out from under the police theory
of suicide yesterday during the
examination Of the Is witnesses
who appeared before the Grapd
Jury in the first days session Of
it's belatsd inquiry into the kill
ing Of Scrivener.
Police props" Fail
Detective Lieut.. Edward Kelly,
deposed chief Of the headquarters
homicide squad, in 1925 told
newspape; men that he and
Detective Sergeant Thomas F.
Sweeney attended a prize fight
in nearby Maryland with SERVE
ner the night he was killed.
Yesterday Fred w. Merkle and
Gustav Blank, employees Of the
Occidental Hotel, went before the
Grand Jury and testified that
they, and not Kelly or Sweeney,
attended the prize fight with
scrivener. Both men declared that
they did not see Kelly the entire
evening aud said that Scrivener
was in the best Of spirits.
Kelly told District Building re.
porterS yesterday that he did not
attend the fight with Scrivener,
but that ne met the latter at
headquarters after he had left
his companions at the Occidental
Hotel.
The third prop" Of the suicide
theory was shattered by the testi.
mony Of Drs. Joseph D. Rogers,
deputy coroner, and Herbert Mar
tyn, who conducted the autopsy
and who also made tests with the
death gun. They told the Cor
oner's jury three years ago, and
are believed to have given similar
information to the Grand Jury
yesterday, that their tests showed
the bullet had been fired from 10
to IL inches from the body, thus
making it practically impossible
for the dead man to have killed
himself.
Their testimony Was supported
at the Coroner's inquest by q War
Department small arms expert,
who has been called to testify at
this hearing.
The fourth prop" to the sui
eide theory to go yesterday was
the report put out that Matthew
Walsh, in whose home Scrivener
lived for II years prior to the
tragedy, had identified the neck
tie found clutched in Scrivener's
right hand as one Scrivener had
given him a year prior I'd the
shooting.
Walsh told a Times reporter
several days ago that this report
was incorrect and is believed to
have told the same thing to the
Grand Jury yesterday.
At the coroner'S inquest De
tective George Darnell also spiked
another police report which was
to the effect that he had given
Scrivener the death gun, after
taking 1t from the property room,
several weeks before his death.
Darnell denied this at the cor
oner'S inquest.
