WALKOUT GAINS SUPPORT tTiUons Outside of ' Miners and Transport Workers Said to Be Beady to Help. LONDON, April 1J. By the Asso dated Press.) Premier Lloyd George has provided leaders of the triple alll .see with another opening for re newal of negotiations in the miners strike and the general strike of rail waymen and transport workers, by a.king for the grounds of their re fusal of the government's offer. Any influence labor leaders who are outside the actual conflict may be able to exert on the disputants seems for the moment to be the re xnaining thread by which industrial peace hangs. After receipt of the announcement ' of the triple alliance that Us mem cers would be called from their work Friday night, the premier replied: "I am 1.. receipt of your letter. The decision you reach is a grave one. Too threaten to dislocate the whole of the transport services. I should like to know the grounds on which you are determined to inflict such a serious blow on your fellow country men.'' Premier t Be Aaawered. The tr'ple alliance sat until late tonight and it was decided to send a reply to the premier Thursday. A manifesto Issued by the miners' federation seems to render possibility of renewed negotiations hopeless, apart from such yielding on the side 1 f the government as the miners say they can hardly expect- The govern ment yesterday met the miners half way by agreeing to give such finan cial assistance as woull be necessary to start the regulation of wages on a national basis. The miners, how ever. Insisted on acceptance also of the pooling of profits, which the gov ernment has declared impossible. This attitude 'a depriving the miners of any support in the press and apparently is tending to alienate the sympathy of a large section of the public. Organized labor is steadily consoli dating on the side of the miners. Others Threatea to Joisu The Amalgamated Society of Loco motive Men and Firemen decided to day to strike with the triple alliance. The executive of the ra'lway clerks association also recommended joining the strike. Electrical workers of London threaten to strike. There is still some question as to whether a strike of all the members f the triple alliance is possible Fri day. According to the constitutions of the respective sections, the rail way men may be called on to strike . without a ballot but the transport workers are required to take a ballot. A manifesto Issued tonight by the triple alliance contended that such reductions in the miners' earnings "no trade union in the past ever accepted" and declares that if accepted, "it would be a disgrace to trade union ism." Cm Declared Too Murk. It continued: "The miners' federation fully real ize that the position of the industry is as bad as it has ever been. They are prepared to do their share In helping the industry by accepting a reduction in wages of a national and uniform character, but not such as will reduce the miners below their pre-war stand ard of living." The first statement respecting the grounds of the miners' refusal of the government's offer showed that the rejection was due lo the government's refusal to concede a national pool of mining profits, which the statement declared, is "the one essential condl tion of settlement." The miners, the statement said. were being asked to allow their meth ods of national negotiation to be de stroyed and to accept a reduction in wages which would bring them dowt in many districts to far less than their pre-war standard of living. OLD STATEHOUSE PERILED l ire Threatens to Destroy Historic Boston Building. BOSTON, April 13.

Harding's Recommenda tions to Be Followed. RICH NOW AVOID PAYMENTS Levy to Be Lowered on Big Incomes to 40 Per Cent. SALES TAX POSSIBLE Rate on Small Incomes Would Have to Be Raised Unless Some Other Source Is Found. BY MARK SULLIVAN. (Copyright by the New York Evening Post, Inc. Published by Arrangement. ) WASHINGTON. L. C. April IS- (Special.) The consensus of opinion on the part of republican leaders in the house of senate suoports the two definite recommendations President Harding made on the subject of tax. at:on. One of tnese recommendations was specific. He said: "We are com mitted to the repeal of the excess pi of its tax." The other was less def lnft. but no well-informed hearer misunderstood It. President Harding called for "the revision or repeal of those taxes which have become un productive and are eo artificial and burdensome as to defeat their own purpose." By these words everybody under stood President Harding meant that the Income and surtaxes on very large incomes are turning out to defeat their own purpose, and should, there fore, be repealed. This opinion is unanimous among all the leaders who will be responsible for the new tax programme. 980,000 Is Dividing Line. The point at which the republican leaders draw the line between large incomes and smaller ones is $80,000 a year. On the so-called incomes of 130,000 a year or less the Income sur taxes ron-from roughly 40"per ee'iat at $30,000 a year down -to 4 per cent on $1000 a year. On the big incomes from. $80,000 a year upward, the In come and surtax are, roughly, from a . rA a n.nt If Ik nn thMa his: lm.omes that It is proposed to make the reductions, so that the highest rate paid by anybody will be 40 per cent.. ' The purpose of the reduction on these incomes is not to make things easier for the rich. It is because the rich have found It profitable to put their fortunes wholly or largely Into liberty bonds or into state and mu nicipal bonds, which are exempt from taxation. That Is what President Harding meant by saying these higher taxes are "so artificial and (Concluded on Page 2.

McKINNEY, Tex., April 13. Five persons were killed and from 25 to 50 others Injured, some probably fa tally, when a tornado swept down on Melissa, six miles north of here today. Fire followed in the debrlB and virtually the entire business dis trict and the east side of the town was destroyed." The tornado uhroofed a school building in which about 240 children were at classes, also caving in the east walls, but, due to the foresight of the teachers, who marshaled their charges Into the basement, none of the children was injured. Tracks of the Houston & Texas Central railroad and electric lntar- urban railway were torn up for a half mile. A string of freight cars on the railroad was blown off, in Juring several trainmen.

Two hours after fire was discovered here at 3:30 P. M. today in the Am bassador, formerly the Potter hotel. the structure, containing 350 guest rooms and one of the most widely known hotels on the Pacific coast. was a flaming mass of ruins. A hurried check of guests and em ployes indicated that all had escaped without injury, A maid was carried down a fire escape, but all other oo cupants were believed to have bee able to escape unaided. Early estimates placed the property loss at about $1,500,000. The Santa Barbara Hotel company, owners, car ried $265,000 insurance on the build ing and $227,000 on its contents. Sev eral hours after the discovery of the flames no satisfactory report as to their origin had been obtained. The fire was discovered By a tele phone operator on duty In the lobby. She said she heard an unusual roar ing sound in a room beside her switch board and, on opening a door, found burning brands dropping through nolo burned through the second floor, Bell boys and other employes were sent to warn patrons and found the hallways on all four floors filled with smoke. A high wind spread the flames rapidly. A half dozen streams of water had no appreciable effect and, in spite of every effort, the flames continued to spread rapidly from the center of tho building through the two great wings, and in less than an hour after the discovery of the fire the tile roof fell with a tremendous roar. The walls of the two wings fell in 30 mln utes later. The only portions of the establish. ment the firemen were able to save were detached or eemi - detached bungalows, garages, power and heat ing plants, laundry, servants quar ters and greenhouses. The falling roofs and walls sent out showers of burning brands, but the wind carried these harmlessly out to sea. Among Portland residents who were at the Ambassador hotel yester day were Mr. and Mrs. Allen Lewis and the Misses Henrietta and Mary Falling. Friends who knew of their visit at the hotel were last night waiting to hear of possible personal losses the Portlanders might , have sustained.

Birdseye View of Mrs. Stokes Flickers. MILLIONAIRE IS ANNOYED Witness of Wallace Incident Declines to Swear to Scene. ACCUSED WOMAN SMILES Identification of Principals in Act Staged in 1914 Proves Per plexing at Divorce Trial. NEW YORK. April 13. (Special.) A birdseye view from a roof coping of a bedroom scene, sketched a earlier sessions of the Stokes divorce trial, flickered out of focus with the cross-examination today of Zenas Matteossian, another of Mr. Stokes' witnesses to the Edgar T. Wallace Mrs. Stokes episode. While at previous sessions the quiet-spoken architect had testified he had seen Mrs. Stokes and Wallace from his vantage point, yesterday he could not "swear" the red-haired young woman of this angular vision was Mrs. Stokes. He felt "certain she was, he explained diffidently, but he could not commit himself. Hoof Coping Is Setting. The roof coping formed the setting of today s session. Plans and photo grapns or it were submitted, ex plained and re-explained. The physical possibilities of seeing what the witness swore to were ar gued at considerable length. Finally Justice Finch, accompanied by representatives of both sides, pro ceeded to No. 13 East Thirty-fifth street, where Wallace lived. Here the scene was re-enacted and the background of the episode carefully examined. Justice Finch planned to have his secretary, take the role of Matteossian and from the survey determine the physical possibility of looking from, a stated point on the roof coping to the bedroom windows below. Details of the expedition were not revealed last night. Architect Calm Witness. The architect, unlike Mrs. Genevieve La Croix De Aquinas, his predecessor. made a calm, unruffled witness, even modifying previous statements. Since he places the Wallace incident seven years back he could give but the barest outline of his actions on the roof. He remembered he "strained" himself to see and .not be seen, but he could not state what portion of the roof coping be occupied and the exact position he assumed. His testimony disclosed a project of Mr. Stokes' to remodel the Man hattan club into a "Commercial club house," a project the architect charac terized as a "pipe dream." He said he received $100 for drawing plans of the enterprise, and that it was the only money he received from the mil lionaire. He added that he received a promise of a position if the project became a reality. Stokes Appears Annoyed. Coming immediately after Mrs. Dc Aquinas' confession of a "convenient memory" Matteossian's reluctant de nial of his Identification of .Mrs. Stokes seemed to annoy the . ever vigilant millionaire. Once Mr. Stokes appeared contorted wth pain and coughed. Mrs. Stokes made a brave attempt to refrain from laughter and failed. Before Matteossian's careful dis tinction between certainty and swear ing certainty, Martin Littleton, Mrs. Stokes' counsel, led him over his early married life. Mr. Matteossian had a few lapses in memory and enumerated the various apartments ha and his wife occupied. In each apartment he took several boarders and the stenographer's notebook was closed with the names of the various young women and married couples who lived with the Matteossiana at one time and another. Stokes Parties Deaicd. Counsel for the defense wanted to know if Mr. stokes ever namorea lady friends" in or brought liquor to the Matteossian apartment at No. 13 East Thirty-fifth street. The arch itect denied this unequivocally. Also he did not remember a "Sunshine" who lived at No. 130 Jiast uirtietn street. Counsel did not disclose this young woman's identity. Considerable curiosity was mani fested in Mrs. Matteossian's occupa tions during their married life. Henry Wise, personal counsel for Wallace, Informed Mr. Matteossian his wife was a waitress in the St. Regis. Mr. Matteossian contended she "managed several floors." Mr. Wise said Mrs. Matteossian was a strike breaker. Her husband confessed his ignorance of this. Then, with every one interested clustered about the witness, Mr. Wise thrust a plan of the Thirty-fifth- street apartment nouse into tne architect's hands and bade him point out his various positions in his bed room story. Recollection Is Vague. I can't picture myself. I'm trying very ftara, ne exyusiumiea as axr. Wise demanded details. "I have a vague recollection of trying not to be seen," he continueq, stui proqae-,. (Concluded on Page 4. Column 1.) Audience Had W ith Assistant Post master-General and Suit for Salary Is Possible.

Private Autos Crowded Off Busy Streets. RESENTMENT IS GROWING Demand to Revoke For Hire Car Licenses Likely. MANY COMPLAINTS MADE Jockeying to Shut Out Clix.cn, Cars Common; Finding Space in Congested' Area Problem. The usurpation ot public streets, within the congested area of tho city, for the conduct of the for hire and taxicab business, a practice which in making It Impossible for the majority of Portland automobile owners to find parking space In the shopping district is arousing a sentiment of protest, which seems likely to crystal lize Into a demand upon the city coun cil to revoke all licenses of for hire stands within the congested area. At present there are 75 for hire and taxlcab stands granted by tho city council. The great majority of these are within the congested area and confined within a radius of ten blocks. Under the permit granted by th city council the for hire cars and taxi cabs may stand In one parking space for 24 hours without Interference, while in business bours the private automobile owner is limited to 30 minutes parking privilege within th congested area. Private Owner Crowded Out. The presence of the for hire cars within the congested area, forces the business men of the city to seek park ing space outside of the district. Statistics gathered by Captain It. A. Lewis, In charge of the police traffic department, show that an average of 1600 automobiles are dally parked be. ween Oak and Couch streets and Tenth street and the Willamette river. If an autoniobilist seeks to use his automobile In a shopping tour, or for " the delivery of material In the down town section, he faces a perplexing problem. It is impossible to find parking space In the congested area, and in the unrestricted area, which is within five to ten blocks from ths congested area. It Is likewise difficult to find space in which to leave an au tomobile during the day time hour. Resentment I Growlsg, The resentment which Is foment ing because of the monopoly of publio streets by for hire cars and taxk-abs In the furtherance of a private enter prise, has grown because of the atti tude of Indifference as to the rights of the private automobile owner by many of the for hire cars. The Jockeying of two for hire cars, to prevent a private automobile from using space sufficient for a third car, is one of the practices which Is be coming common. Some of the for hire car owners, according Vo com. plaints registered at the police bu reau, do not even bother to "Jockey" the private owner out of position but simply Issue an ultimatum to the private owner that the space to which he aspires to use as parking ground. Is a "private stand" to which the pub lic has no rights. Taxi Owners Monopolise Spare. Four stands Is the limit granted by th council on one side of a street within one block. Frequently when ono for hire car is called into service, the three remaining cars will b ro rpaced instead of moved forward, and in this way the private owner Is barred When the for-hlre car returns t from his run, his associates will then return to the original poKltlons and (Concluded ou Page Column 1.)
