TAX Bill Mellon Provision Reinserted By Finance Group-Dem- ' ; OCratS UppOSeCl WASHINGTON, March 19 Thesepate finance, committee to- day rejected the house amend ment to the revenue bill and re inserted the Mellon provision for taxing profits on stock dividends redeemed in liquidation proceed ings'. The house had made such profits subject to the surtax rates rainer man me capuai gain iax of 12 per cent, a lower rate than the average surtax. The house provision was rejected as unfair to smaller stockholders. A disposition on the part of the majority committee members to replace the Longworth compromise income tax scneauie wun tne Mel lon rates also became apparent to day. Democrats at the same time were lining up solidly against the move, and were counting on the support of Senator La Follette of Wisconsin, leader of the republi can insurgents, Should this opposition develop, the nine other republicans would have to back the Mellon rates against' the vote of the seven democrats.

As lines formed in the senate today for the fight on the soldiers' bonus bill, sentiment indicated the mea sure would displace tne tax reduc tion bill for immediate considera tion in the finance committee. The paid up insurance bill passed by the house met with general favor among republicans but democrats were apparently ready to carry on the fight for a full cash payment option. Senator Simmons of North Car olina. ranking democrat on the finance committee, declared in fa vor of such a proposal. Although agreed generally on a straight out Insurance bill with an option for cash payments to veter ans not entitled to more than $50 as provided in the house measure, republicans were split over the form of the insurance provision Chairman Smoot of the finance committee introduced a bill ' pro viding for Insurance policies par able only at death and announced he would not support the house provision for 20-year endowment policies carrying loan privileges. Senator Curtis of Kansas, repub lican member of the committee, however .has Introduced a bill carrying an Insurance clause simi lar to that approved by the house Frank Sever Will Run !

BRYAN TELLS LINCOLN FOLK Hard to Break Habit Com moner Admits When Ban ner Is Displayed LINCOLN. Neb.. March 19. William Jennings Bryan, speaking at a rally of democrats who had met to honor their former towns man on his 64th birthday, tonight decried "special interest" in the national government and urged the democratic party as "the party and the only one to put the coun try back in its previous position." When the commoner was intro duced, a man in the audience pro duced a banner bearing the words, "W. J. Bryan for president." Mr. Bryan declared that "it is ahrd for some to realize that it is exceed ingly difficult to break a habit" and then reiterated his statement that he is not a candidate for pres ident. A plea for the , farmers was sounded by the speaker.'who as serted that the "big interests" had prevented the farmers receiving consideration. This he declared was driving farmers to the city "at the rate of a million a year." Alliance of democrats and pro gressive republicans, received the sanction of the veteran cam paigner when he declared that the democrats have enough votes to initiate worth while measures and the progressive sections of the re publican party hold enough force to put them over. Two Thirds of Report Draft ed By Experts Harder Work Than Expected PARIS, March 19. (By Asso ciated Press.) About two thirds of the report of the reparation ex perts has now been drafted, it was night. The text bo far as drawn up, will "be distributed to the members of both the first and sec ond committees. The second committee, under the chairmanship of Reginald Mc Kenna has almost finished its task, having held two sessions to day, in the course of which a final estimate was virtually agreed up on as to the amount of German, money that leaked out of the country. Though there remain only few points to be cleared up, the experts are finding the work of preparing the report far greater than was anticipated, hence they have decided to go ahead consider Ing that part of the proposed text already on paper while continuing to work on the few questions' that remain to be decided. This will require a number of sub-commit tee meetings each day, with one full meeting of the first commit tee headed by Charles G. Dawes in order' to finish, as now is ex pected by the end of the month . F0BKILLWW0M1 Brother.

Gossip of Chicago Convention Occupies Teapot Dome Investigators WASHINGTON, March 19. After lifting the lid of another box of rumors, those having to do with oil deals" at the Chicago repub lican convention in 1920, the'oil committee turned back today to the lease of teapot dome to Harry Sinclair and the efforts of "in dependents" to force' "claims" there. The gossip about the Chicago convention was related to the sen ate investigators by Tiffin Gil- more, deputy secretary of state of Ohio, and a supporter of Major General Leonard Wood in the 1920 campaign. He stated frankly that be had, no first hand information about the "gossip" with which he assert ed the atmosphere at Chicago was 'surcharged." James G. Darden, friend of Pre sident Harding, told of vain ef forts of himself and associates to establish "rights" in the Wyoming reserve and of conversations on the subject with President Hard ing, Secretary Fall and Attorney General Daugherty. During a long and vigorous cross examination by Senator Walsh of Montana, committee prosecutor" Darden quoted Presi dent Harding as having said, "Fall Is kind of TNT on the subject of clearing the reserve. Also he flat ly denied a statement contained in a letter from Fan to Mr, Harding that Attorney General Daugherty ad sent Darden to the interior secretary about the lease. LT First Account Given Here With Arrival of Fruit Com pany Ship "Ellis" MOBILE, Ala., March 19. The first detailed account of revolu tionary disturbances in Honduras was brought to the United States today when the United Fruit com pany steamer Ellis arrived in port after a sensational escape from rebels. Captajn W. H. Fagen refused to divulge information on the dis turbances because of the fact that his ship is a. Honduras vessel. In formation, however, was obtained that the revolution entailed tre mendous loss of life and property. The situation was described in brief as follows: More than 200 persons have been slain so far in the warfare. All ports of the country and other important cities are in the hands of the rebels. Teguciagalpa, the capital, has been partially destroyed by fire as the result of fighting. Refugees including many fed eral officials are fleeing to the port of Barrios in Guatemala. No information was forthcoming on the seizure and escape of the Ellis. All that could be learned was that she was held by the rebels for several days with 1,500 sol diers on board. The Ellis is the first ship seized by the rebels, which fact is ex plained by her Honduran registry All other ships sailing to Hondur an ports are under foreign flags and so far have been immune from trouble.

D-, March 19. (By The Associated Press) Probable endorsement of Calvin Coolidge for the republican presidential nomination in Tuesday's state wide primary in North Dakota was indicated on the basis of un official returns available here to night. Robert M. La Follette was threatening the second place posi tion of Senator Hiram Johnson While the president held his lead of more than 14,000 votes when 1162 of the state's 208 precincts had reported, Senator La Follette had gained a point within 300 votes of the California senator, the count standing Coolidge 35, 6S0; Johnson 21,426; La Follette 21,138. This comparison, assuming no serious error will be found in the unofficial tabulations, seemed to nsure the president's indorse ment as his margin was sufficient to allow for a material increase in the ratio against him in unreport ed returns from anti-Coolidge counties. In the reported precincts, the republican vote totalled 81,842 and a close comparison with the jot QjaLthe Xn 3, .gjaerajLMecti,oa Indicated the unreported precincts probably would not show 30,000 additional votes, and might not. ex ceed 25,000. "North Dakota republicans have declared for President Coolidge by substantial plurality." L. B. Hanna, the president's state man ager, asserted in a statement here tonight, after viewing the unof ficial returns tabulated by the Associated Press. He questioned the contention of Johnson follow ers that with La Follette out of the field .the latter's vote would have gone completely to the Cali fornia senator. Returns late today, rapidly cut down the early, lead established in favor of the referred laws which would eliminate party designations in state contests and with the Non partisan league opposed to the measures, the belated rural re turns were expected to defeat them. The vote polled by Senator La Follette furnished surprise and followers of Senator Johnson charged that the sticker campaign for the Wisconsin senator gained its votes from a faction that other wise would have supported John son. Many La Follette leaders have declared their campaign for the Wisconsin man was strengthened by the action of Johnson's state managers in going into court in a successful effort to keep La Fol- lette's name off the official bal lot, after the latter had required that it be withdrawn. If the official returns substan tiate unofficial - figures it will mean that President Coolidge will be, assured of 13 votes from this state in the national convention at Cleveland in June. ine voters endorsement con stitutes1 binding instructions to the delegation from this sate, regard less of its personnel. The 13 republicans and 10 dem ocratic delegates to the national conventions also were chosen to day. RALEIGH, N.

Sinclair, Carmi Thompson, of. Ohio, and G. D. D. Wahlberg, Sinclair's former secretary. The Daugherty committee held only a brief session, devoted large ly to charges that lotteries had not been properly prosecuted. The senate finance committe re jected a house amendment to the revenue bill on stock profits taxes. retaining the treasury provision. Chairman Smoot of the senate finance committee introduced a new bonus bill in the senate, pro viding life insurance policies pay able only at death. The senate interstate commerce committee reported the Gooding bill proposing drastic amendment of the long and short haul provi sions of the interstate commerce act. Gossip of an "oil deal" at the republican convention of 1920 was gone into by the senate oil com mittee, which examined Tiffin Gil more, deputy secretary of state of Ohio and a Wood supporter. James G. Darden told of a Tea pot Dome venture in which he was interested. Statement Declared Out of Order Until Washington '""Is- Reached SAN FRANCISCO, March 18. Chief Justice Curtis D.
