The vacancies will be filled
from members of the graduating

Those members which are not
given commissions in the regular

unless she leaves $4,000 at a
corner grocery store, Mrs.
Richard Porter Davids son,
granddaughter of Mark Hanna,
today demanded that the police
make a thorough investigation

has been under constant police
guard although the message was
regarded as the work of a

Also BY Phone

a decidedly more sinister aspect
to the case. The mysterious

follow the instructions already
given you. Other instructions
will be given you later"

ferred at length over plans to

Davidson that $4,000 must be LETT
at designated grocery store,
near her home.

GARNER MAY
TAKE FLOOR
FORBUDGET
Speaker Says "Worst Kind of
Added Taxes Better Than
None at All"

Speaker John N. Garner is
preparing to take the floor of
the House, if necessary, with
an appeal to members to vote
sufficient taxes to balance the
Federal budget and preserve
the credit of the nation.
This was learned tuthoritatively
today following a conference be-
tween the Speaker and news
paper men, in which he reiterated
his oft-repeated declaration that
the Treasury deficit must be
ended"
Puts Finances First
Although the Speaker declined
to comment on reports that he
would make his first speech from
the floor this session on the tax
bill, he disclosed a determine
ton to place the financial at.
fairs of the nation on a sound
basis.
In this position, Garner Joined
President Hoover, Secretary OF
the Treasury Mills, and leaders
of both parties in Congress.
Speaker Garner said:
"The first meeting of the
Democratic policy committee,
composed of 10 Senators and
10 Representatives, unanimous
Iy agreed to a policy of budget
balancing.
"It has come to a point now
where the worst kind of addi-
tiOnaI taxes are better than no
taxes at all.
"HOUSE DIDN'T AGREE"
Il advocated the sales tax
because 1 thought it was the
easiest way to balance the
budget, as a temporary meas
ure. But the House did not
care for that kind of a tax.
UNLESS the budget is bal
anced, foreign exchange will
depreciate and / don't know
what would happen. You will
find the dollar would be af-
fected in foreign exchange"
While a subcommittee Of the
Ways and Means Committee was
struggling to produce taxes to
replace the $685., 100000 contained
in the original sales tax proposal,
the tariff issue bobbed up again.
After the House had voted
excise taxes on foreign oils and
COAL. Democratic leaders, with
Republican aid, halted a tariff
drive on Saturday.
The American Farm Bureau
Federation made public a pro-
gram designed to raise 1856, ,000,-

taxes on many farm products.

CUTTING JOINS
COP. REVOLT

While no one doubts that Pres
ident Hoover will be easily re-
nominated in the Chicago con-
vention. Republican leaders were
somewhat disturbed today over
increasing signs that there will
be at least some opposition.
How extensive and how vocal
this opposition will be and how
it will manifest itself remains to
be determined. But the fact is
that seven Republican Senators
are now quite openly opposed to
Mr.. Hoover's denomination. Some
others are equally opposed, but
less vocal about it.
Senator Bronson Cutting of
New Mexico is the latest recruit
to the senatorial anti-Hoover
forces, which comprise Norris of
Nebraska, Nye and Frazier of
North Dakota, Brookhart Of
Iowa and Blaine and La Toilette
of Wisconsin. Senators johnson
of California and Borah of Idaho
are quietly sympathetic with the
movement, but are taking no
active part in it.
Senator Cutting was instru-
mental Saturday night in having
the New Mexican State Re
publican convention turn down,
by a vote of "a to 3, a resolution
to instruct the delegates to Chi
cago for Hoover.
Cutting frankly informed the
convention he was not in favor
of Mr.. Hoover's denomination. He
added significantly that he would
support the interests of the Re
publican party only $50 long as I
