CONGRESS IS AT CROSS PURPOSES ON TAXREOUCIION Agreement as to Procedure Is Chief Obstacle—Bonus Complicates Matter. By United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. B.—Congress is at cross purposes on tax reduction. Every other man in Congress has a pet tax theory. The chief obstacle in the way of lower taxes is agreement on a program. Despite the overwhelming *enti ment of Congress and the country for lightening the tax burden, leaders of both parties agree the virtu ally certain enactment of a soldier bonus law. despite Mr. Coolidge's op position, has complicated the situation. Tax reduction programs range from the Mellon plan of a 25 per cent income tax cut to the progressive demand of a bonus paid mainly by a tax on large incomes, excess profits and an inheritance tax. 10 OTHERS OF ALLEGED BANDIT GANGARRESTED Third Man Escapes After Running Revolver Duel.

(Continued From Page 1) of Noel is the one to which McCray referred in his statement. Text of statement: “I consider the refusal of Governor McCray to reply to my letter, de livered to him, requesting his written statement concerning an early and speedy trial on the eight indictments, consisting of 192 counts, in the Ma rion County court, sufficient reason for calling the State committee at the earliest date possible to take definite action looking to the welfare of the Republican party Friendsliip Abused “I consider the meeting necessary because this nan besmirched the good name of the State of Indiana, prostituted the great office of Gov eraor, abused sacred ties of friendship and injured the great party that sponsored his election. “This has ceased to be a political question. Every citizen of Indiana with patriotism and state pride must certainly deeply resent and deplore the manner and extent to which our state’s name is being disgraced na tionally. “I am credibly informed that our Governor’s conduct is being made the subject of jests on the vaudeville stage and at many other places of public gathering. “If the Legislature is convened for impeachment purposes.' I have been advised one member of the Legisla •ure declared, many of the legislators might feel it their duty to seek to carry the impeachment proceedings further and remove from office an> appointee of the present Governor who has participated in the operations which have made the name of Indiana a by-word throughout the "nited States. Resignation Only Solution "The only hope I can see for a peedy termination of the present Usgraceful situation is for Governor McCray to resign and take with him everyone whose conduct and mode of thought agrees with his. Asa mat ter ot loyalty to their chief undoubtedly their resignations would follow his.” In connection with his statement, Walb sent a letter to each member of the State committee. He tentatively set the date for the State committee meeting as Dec. 17. subject to the co.i venienee of members of the committee. In connection with Walb’s state ment to the effect State employes close to McCray also should resign, it was recalled that three McCray appointees recently called on Walb and the sub committee to intercede for the dot ernor. They were Fred Robinson. State agent: Eben H. Wo; i-ott, State bank commissioner, and Eph 4. Dailey, member of the industrial ooard.

GRIFFIS’ PATRIOTISM STIRS GERMAN COURT Honor Is Unsmirched and Short Sentence Is Imposed With 50-Cent Fine,

Bv United Xews MOSSBACH, Germany, Dec. B.—The patriotism of Corliss Hooven Griff.s, young American ex-officer and World War veteran, so stirred his German judges, sentencing him as the leader of the plot to kidnap the draft evader Bergdoll, they decreed the light sentence of one year and nine months imprisonment, and a fine in marks that equals less than fifty cents. Griffis' honor is not sullied by the sentence they imposed, the judges intimated. He has made an excellent impression on the authorities, who understand his desire to act against Bergdoll. The three months Griffis has already spent in prison awaiting trial are deducted from his sentence, leaving him a year and a half to serve. Eugene Nelson of Chicago who was a member of the little band that planned the frontier dash, was sentenced to three months imprisonment. He automatically goes free, as he has

already remained in jail more than three months awaiting trial. Without a smile the sympathetic judges sentenced both Griffis and Nelson to pay fines of two billion marks each. What is called “two billion'' in Mossbach is really two trillion with the last ciphers left off. The gigantic fines are, in American money, less than fifty cents each. The judges said, however, that they were unable to disregard the fact that a foreigner had attempted to accomplish something on German soil which only German officials could legally accomplish. They pointed out that Bergdoll had used weapons in self-defense, killing Schmidt, who assisted in the attempt to snatch the deserter back to Amer lea. There was a strange, and interesting picture as the German judges passed sentence on the dashing young American whom they obviously respected and admired for his plucky attitude on the stand.
