MELLON TAX QUIZ
Units THIRD WEEK
Deals Alleging Evasion to
Continue Basis for
Aides Testimony.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, March 2.-Andrew
w. Melons income tax hearing before
the Board Of Tax Appeals enters its
third week Monday with the finan-
cier's secretary, Howard M. johnson,
prepared to undergo questioning about
more Of the transactions by which the
Government charges Mellon evaded
tax payments in 1881.
It will be JohnSon's ninth day on
the witness stand. He will face sew
eral hours of redirect examination by
Frank j. Hogan, chief Mellon attor-
ney. before being turned over once
more to the searching questioning OF
Government attorneys.
Counsel for both expressed satisfac-
ton with the progress Of the case, in
which Mellon contends he has re-
fund of $4,000 coming from the
Bureau of Internal Revenue, while
the Government is trying to collect
50 .0s9, 900.
Hogan said Mellon will not dodge
responsibility for his 1881 income tax
report-which Johnson has testified
he alone prepared and Mellon did not
closely scrutinize. In fact, johnson
said Melons signature was not no
tarized at the time.
Hogan, upon resumption Of the
hearing, is expected to take up some
Of Melons business connections, to
show that he did not control the
Pittsburgh Coal Co, the Union Trust
Co., his children's Coalesced Holding
Co, Coalesceds Smithfield Securities
Co., and Mrs Ailsa Bruces Ascalot
Co.. also holding concern. The Gov
eminent charges Mellon used these
concerns to make transfers Of stocks
and securities, in order to deduct
losses on his income tax returns.

VERMONT COULD
 BE TAKEN OVER

Rutland, Vt, Feb 27-UP)- The Rutland Herald today quotes former U. s. Attorney General John c. Sargent as saying he be- lieves the federal government could seize the entire state of Ver- mont for government use and that Vermont would be helpless to pro- test. Sargent's opinion reportedly was expressed in an interview in Connection with the current at- tempt of the Vermont legislature to repeal the law, adopted in 1925. which he believes would make pos- sible such seizure.
 Under this law the legislature consented to acquisition by the federal government, by purchase, gift or condemnation, of any and all lands within the state, which the government might decide were needed for the establishment, con solidation and extension of natural forests.
 Sargent was quoted as saying that this meant that "the only right Vermont has left on or over any land taken by the United Stafes for nationali forests, Is the right reserved in another part of the same act to serve civil process upon persons found on such lands"

GREAT BRITISH
 BRIGHTER GOES
 DOWN IN STORM
Twenty-six Men Aboard Lost With Vessel-A
 Hope Given Up

Aboard S. S. Europa. in Mld-At- lantic. Feb. 27.-(UP).-The lux ury line Europa and two other rescue ships abandoned the search for the British freighter Blair rowrie today and continued on their courses. Their masters had concluded that the Blairgowrie down. carrying 26 men to death. Only one faint hope remained- that the crew of the Blairgowrie had taken to llfeboats and were afloat somewhere on the Atlantic which was whipped by gales of burrfcan force. The Cunard- White Star liner Olympic will pass through the stretch of waters. where the storm-broken freighter presumably sank. The Olympic wirelessed that she was keeping sharp lookout for boats or wreck age.
 But this hope was of the vaguest kind. Masters of the Europa. the United States liner American Banker, and the Dutch ship. Blom- mersdijk were convinced the Blair gowrie was down with all hands before they ordered their, vessels back to theit courses. They had searched the vicinity to which they were summoned by the Blair gowie's frantic sos calls, from ] a. m. until well past dawn. The sea was raging. Seamen aboard the vessels believed 1t would be im- possible to launch lifeboat in such weather, much less keep one afoat. Captain Oscar Scharf. com mander of this luxury liner. aban- doned the search reluctantly con- vinced that further watch was use- less,

NEW TAXATION TO

Washington, Feb 27- (UP)-A demand that the administrations $ work-relief program be financed by new taxation was injected today into the stormy congressional crisis which has brought all new deal legislation t1 halt. The senate was in recess while its leaders. work ing earnestly in anticipation of President Roosevelts return to the capital tomorrow, sought to bring some order out of the troubled sit. uation which has developed.

ALDERMAN MADE
 PLEA OF GUILTY
BrocktOn Official Had Been Collecting Money From
 City Job Seekers

Brockton. Mass, Feb 27. CUP)- Alderman Samuel Shapira. 3S. or Brockton to-day pleaded guilty to two charges of soliciting gratuities in connection with police and ire department promotions.
 Superior Judge Frank J. Dona- hue put over sentence until the June term of the court to enable the district -attorney's office to lh- yeStigate admissions by Shaplra that he was to share the gratuitles with "other members of the city government"
 Under statute passed during the last session of the legislature, Shapira forfeits his aldermanship and Is forever barred from holding office in Massachusetts.
 Shapiras indictment resulted from evidence uncovered at q hear ing held by the Brockton board of aldermen during which William E. Hill testified he was approached by Shapira and offered aid in procur- ing a police Sergeancy in return for 8 $75 gratuity. George Maloney also told the board that the de- fendant had requested money from him in connection with a fire de- partment lieutenancy.
 Shapira, who has served inter- mi4tently as alderman from the fifth Brockton ward for 10 years, is manager of chain tobacco shop. He is unmarried.
