TRUCK OWNERS
To FIGHT TAX

Washington truckmen will meet
at o'clock tomorrow night at the
United States Chamber of Com
merce to fight what they term pro-
posed ruinous tax legislation.
The Washington Truck Owners
Association. an old organization
which has been somewhat mac
tive in recent years, finds a plan
recently recommended to Gov
ernor Pollard, of Virginia, almost
confiscatory in it's provisions.
That proposal would levy a tax
of from SIS to $1,195 on every
District of Columbia truck which
makes delivery in Virginia. A
similar plan is being considered
in Maryland.
The truckmen also intend to
protest against the Mapes bill
which would immeasurably in
crease the District tax on trucks
by levying against weight.

SENATE INQUIRY
CALLED UNFAIR
BY PRELATE
Investigators Failed to Make
Thorough Probe, Asserts
Methodist Churchrnan

Bishop James Cannon, jr., of
the Methodist Church South,
continued his attack upon the
Nye Campaign Funds Investi-
eating Committee of the Sen
ate today, charging it with be-
ing unfair and with failure to
investigate the places where
his anti-Smith fund was spent
in the campaign of 1923.
He denied he had misused
money contributed to him in his
fight on former Gov. AL Smith, or
that he had withheld proper re-
ports from Congress, as he is
charged.
Attacks Five Points
Cannon, under indictment, with
his secretary, Miss Ada L. Bur-
roughs, on charges Of violating
the corrupt practices act, at
tackled five points of the Nye re-
port, made last week.
He said there was no separately
organized committee of anti
Smith Democrats; that contribu-
tions by E. C. Jameson, Of New
York, were solicited for general
use in the South: that the total
sum contributed to the committee
exceeded $4,000, and Of this
$4,000 was credited to himself.
The failure of the Nye Com
mittee in Virginia, he said, was
due to incomplete Investigations
on the part of its Investigators.
No Moral Obligation
Cannon said he was treasurer
of that organization, and was
under no moral obligation to re-
port purely Virginia expendi-
lures" The Jameson contribu-
tions, he said, totalled $65,S0O for
use in Virginia and by checks
made payable to him personally
and at his discretion.
The Virginia committee, he
said, received $4,000, and the
remaining $1,000 went to the
general anti-Smith war chest,
which was reported to the clerk
of the House by Miss Burroughs.
