Where did he blow from?" He
had licked the Democratic Old
Guard, and never went back to
them. That is why the President
has given him the conspicuous
post of Ambassador to Russia.
Wilson made him chairman of

the first chairman of the COM
mission, after he had served
term as Commissioner of Corpo-

Commission was created in the
Wilson reform era.

Fear Of Gun Runners,
Theory Of Suicide
In Coast Mystery

LOS ANGE ELES, Nov. 20.
G.N.SO.-A sinister warning that
he was marked for death threw
Reid Russell into such panic that
he killed himself on the estate Of
his friend, Gouverneur Morris, dis
tinguished novelist, last Septem.
Der 25.
That was the latest theory ad-
vanced today to explain the bizarre
developments in the attempt to
determine whether the 28-year-old
scion of an old Virginia family
was a murder victim, or killed him
self, as was first believed
Various investigators were
sharply divided in their interpre.
tations of the facts and the final
answer to the queStion-murder
or suicide-WaS conceded to rest
in the outcome of unhurried scien.
tific tests now in progress.
Gun Runners Hinted
The latest murder theory was
that Russell was lured by beauti,
full woman into an international
gun running ring, leaders of which
threatened to kill him when they
believed he had betrayed their
secrets.
Mrs. Victoria Russell, mother OF
the dead man, who insisted he had
been murdered and caused the
investigation of his death to be
reopened, told authorities he was
having an affair with a married
woman. Certain investigators be-
lieved this woman was connected
with the gun runners.
Detective Lieut.. Harry L. Han
sen revealed that Russell had con.
fided to him the Sunday before
his death that he was involved in
a gun-running enterprise.
Suicide View Strong
STRENGTHENING the suicide theory
was the report by Frank Webb, as
Sistant county autopsy surgeon.
that the bullet which killed Rus
sell was of 80 caliber, the same
as the automatic pistol clutched
in Russell's hand when the body
was found.
Webb's report was made follow

HARRISON SEES
NO TAX JUMP
FOR 1887
Administration M a y
Reach Its Goal of
Balanced Budqet
International News Service

Declaring that there will be no
increase in Federal taxation in the
next year, Senator Pat Harrison
CD of Mississippi, chairman of
the Senate Finance Committee, to-
day predicted that Congress will
consider modification of the rev,
olutionary" corporate surplus tax
law.
The Administration, he added,
may reach its goal of a balanced
budget in the fiscal year begin,
ming July /, 1887.
While Congress will consider
modification of the corporate sur.
plus tax law which penalties a
corporation 27 per cent if it re-
tains all it's earnings, he predicted
that basic principles of the law
will be permanent. Said Harri-
son:
$50 far as proposals for ab0l-
ishing the corporate surplus law
are concerned, that Is out of the
window"
The most probable modifica-
ton, he said, will be to provide
cushions" for corporations bur
dened with debt and lower tax
rates for corporations replacing
machinery and plants and ex-
panding operation.
Senator Harrison said he
planned to call a meeting of the
joint Congressional tax commit
tee in December to consider "a
study Of inequities" in the tax
law.
He predicted that Congress
will refuse to change the payroll
tax provision of the far-flung
Federal security program. He
also predicted that Congress will,
with some exceptions, reenact
about $5o0,0O000O in miscellane-
Gus sales and nuisance taxes
which expire next June 30.

carried through the early summer
activities Of the Roosevelt nomina.
tors in Washington, D. c., making
a record for contributions at a
dollar a Democrat, turning in
100000 in individual campaign
contributions to Chairman Far
ley's war chest. He was chairman
of the Democratic Executive Com
mittee in the campaign. To those
who recall that Mr.. Davies was out
beating the tom-tom for the Roose-
velt campaign long before it was
started, there is distinct connec-
ton between his conspicuous po-
litical leadership and the first of
the big appointments to be made
by the President.
Important Post
The post of ambassador to Rus
sia Is today one of the most i'm
portant and interesting in the en-
tire diplomatic service. The first
ambassador to Russia since the
Soviet Republic was founded and
the United States dropped its non
recognition policy was William E.
Bullitt, who is now U. S. Ambas-
sador to France. Russia is not
at all satisfied with the Stand-off
attitude of the United States since
the resumption of diplomatic re-
lationS, and the man who takes the
job of U. S. ambassador will have
to be acting as a diplomat all
day long.
In addition, as is common knowl-
edge, Russia is on the verge Of
possible European entanglements
of tremendous possibilities. Am
bassador Davies vantage point in
the Russian capital will give him
a first-hand view of a situation
which is so important to the White
House that a close friend is re-
Quired on that job.
Second Offer
Oddly enough this is the second
time the post of ambassador to
Russia has been rendered Mr..
Davies. The first time was in 1917
or 1918, when Mr.. Davies was first
chairman of the new Federal
Trade Commission; and by a
strange parallel he had done for
Woodrow Wilson in politics a job
somewhat similar to that which he
has more recently done for Presi-
dent Roosevelt. President Wilson
liked Joe" Davies and he wanted
him to go to Russia as ambassador,
but Mr.. Davies refused. Then he
was offered the post of ambassador
to Italy and refused. and later was
offered the post of Governor Gen
eral of the Philippines and refused.
He wanted to be U. S. Senator from
his native Wisconsin. That was in
1918. The Democratic party in
Wisconsin was too feeble against
the party machinery of the elder
La Toilette, so he was defeated.
Politics Hobby
That defeat did not stop his
interest in politics. He had come
out of the West as Democratic
national committeeman in Wis
conSin when he was 35 years old
with a fair share of the nomina-
ton of Woodrow Wilson to his
credit. That was a time when
the Democratic party bitternesses
were between the Champ Clark
faction and the Woodrow Wilson
faction. Joseph E. Davies and
William McCombs of New York
had managed the pre-convention
campaign for Wilson. In those
days old-timers took off their

Foreign Comnetition
Steel Hnll SaVes Seiner

A steel hull saved the purse seiner C. s. F.. bound for Seattle from the herring hanks. from being wrecked when she went aground on Lewis reef. about two miles from Ketchi- kan early Sunday morning.
 A companion seiner reported the accident in Ketchikan and the coast guard cutter Alert went to the scene. The captain of the disabled boat arranged for a pile driver and barge in Ketchikan as the boat was listing.
 The seiner had hit the reef when she went on the right side of the light. It should be passed on the left side going into Ketchfkan. Ex- animation at drydock showed the boat took no water in the mishap. the keel of the steel hull being bat tered but not seriously damaged, where a wooden boat would have been wrecked.
