McReynolds and Secretary Hull had
an opportunity to repay the obliga-
ton. They joined in recommend
ing Senator Frazier'S son, j. B.
Frazier, jr., of Chattanooga for
United States district attorney for
the Eastern district of Tennessee, a
position Mr.. Frazier still holds.
Mr.. McReynolds was admitted to
the bar in 1893 and two years later
moved to Chattanooga to reside.
Two years later he was named to the
bench and later won three successive
terms. He resigned to enter Con-
gress.
AS judge, he had a reputation for
SternneSS. His enforcement of Ten
nessee's bone-dry prohibition laws,
placed on the statute books in 1909.
won him the undying hatred of
mountain moonshiners and bootleg
gers. In his later years. he would re-
call that he was afraid to 90 to bed
for fear that some one, trying to get
me. might bring down the whole
house on my family"
In 1910 he married Miss Mary c.
Davenport of Chattanooga, who sur
wives him. He is also survived by a
daughter, Mrs. Darrell M. St. Claire
OF Washington; two grandchildren,
a brother, T. V. McReynolds of Pike
vile, and sister Mrs. w. j. Stamper
of Vanceburg, Ky.
He will be buried in Forest Hill
Cemetery at Chattanooga. The time
and other arrangements will be an
nounced.

Randolph, Kennedy of Maryland,
Dlrksen and Bates of Massachusetts,
The fact that the District appro-
priation bill, which should have be-
come a law 10 days ago, apparently
will remain deadlocked until the rev.
enue controversy is settled, may help
to put through the conference agree
ment despite House opposition to
increasing the Federal payment
some members believe.
1t will require unanimous consent
to get the issue before the House
tomorrow, and if it should be put
off the District government, which
has been running without funds
since July 1, would be within three
days of possible payless payday.
Under ordinary procedure, when
an appropriation bill fails to get
through on time continuing reso-
luton is brought out to meet the
daily operating expenses pending an
agreement, and such resolutions are
supposed to originate in the House.
Thus far such a resolution has not
been proposed, with the result that
there are no authorized apppropria-
tions for the day to-day operations
of the city government.
If the House accepts the compro-
mise on the tax bill Senator Overton
expects quick agreement on the
appropriation bill on the basis of
the $6,500,O00 Federal share. Only
one or two other items in the sup
ply bill-relief and school construc-
tion-remain to be settled.
Meanwhile, Representative Win
ter of Kansas issued a statement
last night advocating placing an ad-
ditional l or 2 cent tax on gasoline
as an alternative for the income
tax. He said l cent on gasoline
would raise $1,338, ,429.59. He con-
tended the average District resident
would benefit because a great por-
ton of the gasoline sold in the Ma
tons Capital is purchased by the
hundreds of thousands Of tourists
and visitors"
Even if this plan should win SIP
port, however, it would require in
PRODUCTION and passage by both
Houses of a separate bill. Con-
ferees on the pending revenue mea-
sure are confined to adjusting differ
ences between the tax sources ap-
proved by the House or Senate, and
there is no gasoline tax provision
in this bill.
