CROWDS ATTEND BIGGEST FOURTH OF ]
JULY CELEBRATION HELD IN COUNTY
Horse Show Draws Great Amount of
Interest; Other Events Go
Off Very Well
FIRE WoRS$ FINISH BIG DAY

Crowds from the entire county and
from many sections of the whole state
and Virginia included attended the
Fourth celebration put on by the
American Legion in West Jefferson.
The celebration was voted the most
glorious of any yet put on in the city.
Much interest was shown toward
all the events, the horse show and
the boxing contest probably leading
the list of entertainment. The fire
works were displayed from the hill
facing the town and climaxed the
day which would have been perfect
had the rain in the afternoon not pre-
vented the ball game that was sched-
uled. A light rain in the fore noon
so wet the riding field that the horse
show suffered to some extent but the
excellent riders who displayed the
horses were able to overcome this
hindrance.
The horses shown would have done
credit to any show.
Ribbons awarded in the contests in
order of awarding were:
Gentlemen's riding contest: G. B.
Doggett, riding P. E. Morgan's
horse; Sherwood Anderson, Jr., rid
ing G. B. Doggett's horse; Ed DON

CONGRESS MAY NOT ADJOURN
UNTIL EARLY SEPTEMBER
Presidents Tax-the- Wealthy Program
Is Bone Of Contention in
Both Houses

Fast-expanding differences over
the scope of the Presidents wealth.
tax program prompted opposing pre-
dictions during the week end that it
would be dropped temporarily and
that it would hold Congress in session
well into September.
Senator McNary, of Oregon, Re-
publican leader, forecast that Con-
gress either would recess and recon-.
vene in the fall or nact the tax bill
at the session beginning next Janu-
airy 8.
On the other side were house ways
and means committee Democrats, still
sticking by their pledge to bring out
bill this session. They doubted, al
most to man, that final congress
sional action on the bill-not even
drafted yet-could be obtained before
the first week of September.
Will Push Other Measures
simultaneously, plans went ahead
to expedite other measures on the
must" legislative program. The
house planned to take up Monday the
controverted amendments to the
Tennessee Valley Authority law.
The senate arranged to take up
Monday and vote Tuesday on mo-
ton by Senator Dieterich, Democrat,
Illinois, to concur in the house
amendment, knocking out of the utili-
ties bill the death sentence for "un-
necessary" holding companies. Sched-
uled to follow that were the Wheeler
water carrier, AAA amendment and
omnibus banking bills.
In the house hearings were set for
next week on the new "must" gold
clause bill, while leaders hoped the
guffey coal sterilization and federal
alcohol control measures would be
ready for the floor by the week end.
Derived on Possible Revenue
There was, too, wide difference
of opinion among house ways and
means committeeman over what the
wealth distribution tax bill should
contain, Chairman Samuel B. Hill,
Democrat, Washington, of the tax
subcommittee said he thought the
masure sould raise $350,000,000 to
$500 100000 annually.
Another leading Democratic COM
mitteeman, who talked privately be-
cause he did not want to start
"fuss" with Hill, remarked he
thought a bill raising $2O0,OO0,0O0
would be sufficient.
Hill said, however, that it would be
difficult to raise $34O,00O,0OO year
event by increasing txes on all in-
comes over 100000 and putting new
levies on all inheritances above
$50, 1000. Chairman Harrison, Demo-
crat, Mississippi, of the senate fl
nance committee, had calculated that
$34O, 100000 would be raised by tax
ing only incomes above 81 100000, in
heritances over 100000, gifts and
corporation incomes.
Secretary Morgenthau told Harri-
sons committee that the treasury had
in mind a tax program along those
lines which could bring in $500, 000,-
900 to 100000, 900 annually.

ROOSEVELT LOSES VOTE FOR
MANIPULATING UNNECESSARY
UTILITY HOLDING COMPANIES
DOughtOn Is Only N. c. Congressman
to Stand by President When :.
Vote Is Taken

The "death sentence" in the utility
bill has been killed. After twice re-
jcting President Roosevelt's appeal
for a bill to outlaw unnecessary
utility holding companies in seven
years, legislation to regulate" utility
holding companies was passed by the
House Tuesday, by a vote of 1923
to 81.
By the significant vote of 258 to
lat the House earlier in the day had
adopted it's own utilities bill, minus
the much debated death sentence"
provision, instead of the Senate bill
which contained such clause.
Representative R. L. Doughton was
the only North Carolina congressman
who voted for the Presidents much
desired provision to abolish "unneces-
sary" holding companies. Representa-
tive Bulwinkle was absent on account
of illness.
BY vote of PIG to 146, but without
roll call and therefore without a
record, the House Monday refused to
comply with President Roosevelt's ur-
gent request that the "death SEN
tence" clause be reinstead in the bill.
And thus the President lost the
first round of his struggle with Con-
gress over the utilities measure.
When the bill passed the Senate it
contained the death sentence" clause,
providing that all Unnecessary" util-
ity holding companies should be
abolished by 1912. The Senat vote on
that provision, however, was very
close, giving favorable margin of
only one vote. The clause was elimi-
mated by a House committee before
the bill was reported for consideration
on the floor. The effort to reinstate
the 'death sentence" clause on the
floor of the House was defeated by
the decisive margin of 70 votes.
In eliminating the mandatory
death sentence" from the bill, the
House committee on, interstate COM
merce had voted to give the Securi-
ties commission discretionary author
ity.
The first stunning defeat merely
spurred President Roosevelt to re-
newed efforts to have the death
sentence" written into the bill again.
Immediately after his cherished New
Deal objective was voted down by a
House overwhelmingly Democratic,
Mr.. Roosevelt conferred with Repre-
sentative Rankin, Mississippi, who
rushed back to the Capitol to begin
an effort to rebuild the crumbled
party lines.
The only public word from the
President Monday was that he hoped
the defeated clause would win in the
rollcall vote to be taken Tuesday, on
the question of substituting the Sen
ate abolition bill for the House regu-
latory plan.

the Editor of The Times:

TO the Editor Of The Times:
BY what racket was the stag
gered hour plan put over on
the citizens Of Washington?
There have been a lot of indie
feasible things put over on our
voteless residents but in my
recollection Of 80 years here
this is the worst.
Traffic conditions used to be
bad when I tried to get to
my office. Now they are worse.
I have tried riding on the
street car instead of taking
my car downtown. That hasn't
helped any because the cars
take so long to get downtown
from where I live. Also the
cars are terribly inconvenient.
There never are any seats
available.
But that is not the only in
convenience of the new
system" I find a tendency
on the part of executives to
forget" that their subordinates
came in half an hour earlier
than usual. They pile on the
work in the afternoon late so

| LAWYER WINS
SUIT ON WILL

Because he had been a good
friend of the husband of Mrs.
Eleanor B. Biggs, S0-year-old
widow who died last year, Irwin H.
Lincoln, prominent lawyer, ulti-
mately will inherit her 500, 900 es-
tate, a District Supreme Court
jury ruled yesterday.
Mrs. Biggs, by her will dated
August Is, 1888, left $4,000 to her
sister, Mrs. Nita Nicodemus, and
directed that the income from the
balance of the estate be paid Mrs.
Nicodemus for life, the property
going to Mr.. Lincoln at her death.
The will said the estate was to
go to Mr.. Lincoln because he had
befriended Mr.. Biggs before the
latter's death. Mrs. Nicodemus
contested the will on the grounds
that her sister was not of sound
mind at the time it was executed.

Says America Will Rue
Hauptrnonn Conviction

To the Editor of The Times:
Those who have prosecuted
Bruno Hauptmann, innocent sac
rifice to the emotions of the
American people, are going to
suffer the tortures which they
would inflict on this man for
crime of which he was convicted
but of which he is innocent.
If they do not make retribu-
ton in this world they will make
it in the next. Whatever deity
may rule the affairs Of mankind
will not countenance the plot
by which the life of Hauptmann
is sought. And it is a plot, a
plot to bury this man in order
to exalt the persons Of those
who think they are detectives
and the others who think they
are prosecutors.
It is becoming more apparent
every day that Hauptmann was
betrayed in the house of his
friends" Those who protested
to be looking after his interests
are now being showed up in

OPERATION DUE

A huge Treasury refunding
program in March, with a top
limit of 2,4o0 million dollars, was
understood yesterday to be viz.
tually assured.
Acting Secretary Coolidge said
the precedents favored an ex-
change offer for the 1870 mil
lions Of Fourth Liberty loan
bonds which have been called
for April.
Information in other quarters
was that the outlook for the
March exchange appeared excel
lent and as many Of the called
bonds as possible would be
cleared out Of the way.
The Treasury will also pay off
on March is 1928, 100000 note
issue.
Some predicted that if the
Treasury stresses long-term Dor.
rowing, instead of the lowest pos.
sible interest rate, it might get
8 per cent money for a 20.to-25.
year term.
Response to the new nine
months bill offering exceeded all
expectations. The average inter
est rate on the $50.000,000 is
sue will be about 16 hundredths
of l per cent, Mr.. Coolidge said.
Treasury experts had figured on
paying quarter of one per cent.
