“KNOW SAN ANTONIO CONTEST”
WILL START IN A FEW DAYS
WITH CARTOONS OF STREETS
Winners Will Be Given $3OO in Prizes—Each
Cartoon Will Represent a Certain Street—List
of All Streets Will Be Run Daily.
Announcement Sunday that The
Light would conduct a “Know San
Antonio Contest” and give away $3OO
in gold to the winners created a sen-
sation among Light readers.
It was stated that The Light had
chosen 30 San Antonio streets and
had cartoons drawn representing each
one of these 30 streets. The streets
were chosen from the city directory of
San Antonio. A complete list of the
streets from which the cartoons were
drawn will be printed daily below the
cartoon. The winning streets are to
be chosen from the list. A well-known
local artist has drawn 30 cartoons
each of which will represent some
street in San Antonio. In a day or
two these cartoons will start running
in The Light with the list of streets
from which they were selected printed
underneath this cartoon. Every day
for 30 days there will appear a car-
toon.
derail to proceed here include the
130th Infantry composed of Southern
Illinois units and the 132 d Infantry
made up of Chicagoans.
Five Units on Hand.
At present there are five companies
of guardsmen in Herrin: three com-
panies of infantry a machine gun
company one troop of cavalry on foot
and a headquarters company at Ma-
rion. an unmounted troop of cavalry
and n headquarters company at John-
ston City.
Maj. Gen. Milton J. Foreman of
Chicago who was a colonel in the
Thirty-third Division in the World
War will command the troops ordered
into Williamson county. General
Foreman was ordered here because he
w a lawyer as well ns soldier said
Carlos Black state adjutant general
who also is here.
No untoward incident occurred last
night in Williamson county according
to reports to the military authorities
hero early this morning.
The troops have placed machine
guns in strategic positions in the
three towns over which they arc exer-
cising military control and guards
have been thrown about the court
house at Marion and the city hall end
hospital here.
The citizen-police deputized by S.
Glenn Young acting chief of police of
Herrin on admitted paid employe of
the Ku Klux Klan continued their
patrol of Herrin streets last night and
this morning. Young stated he had
deputized about 300 such men. Reg-
ular police badges for that number
were not available so a tinsmith fash-
ioned a number of six-pointed tin
stars as an emblem of their authority.
Young Led Raids.
It was Young who led the scries of
dry raids in Williamson county which
resulted in the arrests of approximate-
ly 2<MH) persons nnd the formation of
the Knights of the Flaming Circle a
। faction to oppose the klan dry raiders
and it was in a fin re-up of the intense
x'eeling engendered by Young’s activi-
ties that Caesar Cagle constable of
Herrin was liillcd Thursday night
.nnd feeling reached a pitch which ne-
cessitated the soldiers bring ordered
into Williamson county for the second
time within a month.

name had been brought into the ni-
vestigition.
"I think any honest man would feel
precisely the same way.”
Senator Dill Denio.rat. Washing-
ton. wanted tn Know if Doheny deliv-
ered the $lOO IKKI retainer fee paid
Mr. Mi Adon a New Yorx firm "in a
satchel. V
• lie did not. sir.” replied Mr. M.-
Adoo. "It tame io me in the forty
of a check.”
Glad of Expose.
Chairman Ledruot said he wished
tn explain "outside of the record ’
thill Ine question which hail been put
to Air. Doheny anti which re-uned
in the disclosure of Mr. McAdoos
employment as eoausel had been at
the request of Senator Reed Dem-
ocrat Missouri.
"It was in these questions that your
name was brought out as one ot his
counsel'’ Chairman Eeinuot slid. "Do
you think this committee would have
oven justified in refusing the request
of Senator Reed?”
"No sir" replied Mr. McAdoo. "I
am glad you biougiit it out. 1 hope
the committee will continue its inves-
tigation and bring out all the facts.
1 think the matter of my employ-
ment is absolutely and wholly irrelev-
ant to this inquiry as it is not con-
cerned with it. but nevertheless i am
perfectly willing to have the commit-
tee inquire into it. If it will aid the
eomnpttce in unearthing the people
who have been guilty ot wrong-doing
1 am glad to have it brought out."
Asked "what service” he bad per-
formed as counsel for Doheny he
said:
“Special counsel acting in an ad-
visory capacity in such matters as
were presented to me from time to
time.”
"He hus not advised with you about
any matters except Mexican mat-
"Our professional relations began
in that connection and continued in
that connection. I have nevi- been
consulted in his oil leases. He has
bad other attorneys for that work.
He was free to ask me about all mat-
ters and if he had consulted Die about
the oil matters 1 would have advised
him.”
Chairman Lcnroot asked the wit-
ness whether lie bad appeared person-
ally before the government depart-
ments here in the matters referred
to in his reveiit letter to the commit-
tee.
"When Mr. Doheny therefore asked
iny firm to act for him professionally
in trying to prevent the confiscation
of his valuable petroleum properties in
Mexico representing several hundred
million dollars it appealed to me be-
cause of my general knowledge of the
oil industry and of Mexican and Latin-
American relations gained in the man-
ner I have described nnd because it i
was in line with the declared policy i
of the administration to protect
American properties against confisea- |
tion in Mexico.
“I believed that nn opportunity i
was presented to render a genuine ser-
vice outside of my professional work
in promoting Latin-American com-
merce and more particularly in con-
tributing to the protection of nil
American rights in Mexico if retroac-
tive and confiscatory effect to Article
27 of the Mexican constitution could
be prevented.
"This with my letter of Feb.ruary
7. 1924. gives the history of my pro-
fessional connection with the Doheny
companies. The service 1 have ren-
dered to them was in good faith and in
full satisfaction for the fees that have
paid. I owe them othing and they owe
me nothing.”
Quit Doheny This .Month.
Mr. McAdoo declared that he sev-
ered his professional relations with Do-
heny on February 2 the day after the
oil magnate last appeared before the
rammittce.

FOUR TAX BILLS A
REPORTED TO HOUSE

dividual and the presumption is
created that any investment company
may avail of it for the purpose of
avoiding the imposition of surtaxes on
stockhldcrs.
Reports Nearly Same.
“The deductin for interest paid on
indebtedness (other than interest paid
or incurred in connection with the
trade or business of the taxpayer?)
ami the deduction for non-business
losses are allowed only to the extent
that the sums of these items exceeds
the tax-exempt income of the taxpay-
er."
The report of the eleven Republicans
of the committee was the same as
Chairman Green’s except for consider-
able additional argument defending
the cut in surtaxes to a maximum of
25 per cent. It pointed out that the
high rates were becoming increasing-
ly unproductive; citing that incomes
of over $lOOOOO constituted 2.5 per
cent of the total income reported in
1916 and 5.4 and 4.5 per cent respect-
ively. in 1920 and 1921.
"The only way that the income tax
as applied to large incomes can be
made an actuality the report said “is
by reducing the rate of tax to a sound
level nnd thus lessening the incentive
to taxpayers to avoid the tax.”
The Democratic report called for a
reduction in the normal taxes to 2 per
cent on the net incomes up to $5000:
4 per cent in incomes between $5OOO
and $8000; and 6 per cent above that
amount. Representative Garner’s orig-
inal plan called for a 4 per cent tax
on incomes between $5OOO and $lOOOO
and the reduction to $BOOO was ex-
plained as necessary to cut down some-
what the loss in revenue which the
treasury reached would be sustained
under the plan. The surtax rates pro-
posed by the Democrats would be
startid with 1 per cent at $12000
and increased to 41 per cent on in-
comes of $92000 and over.
Would Mean Revenue Iziss.
These rates the- report said would
result in losses of revenue under treas-
ury estimates of $186257386 in the
normal taxes compared to $77014854
under the Mellon rates adopted by the
committee and $139803195 in the sur-
taxes compared to $200352243 under

the McYlon surtaxes. The figures arc
based on 1921 revenue returns.
Citing Secretary Mellon's declara-
tion that Representative Garner rank-
ing Democrat ou the committee "is
playing politics” in offering his tax
revision plan the report declares his
expression to "an unheard of perform-
ance. as insolent as it is imprudent
nnd in the judgment of the minority
is in the worst of bad faith toward
progressive income taxation.”
In addition to asking different in-
come rates the Democrats proposed
higher estate taxes and enactment of
a gift tax together with the repeal of
a number of the miscellaneous taxes in
addition to those already revised by
the committee.
The report explained Hint nil fent-
urss of the bill were considered by the
whole committee until the income
rates were reached when the Demo-
crats were excluded. Many sections
of the measure other than the income
rates are praised particularly the
"provisions relating to stopping loop
holes in the administration of the law
b.v which many largo tax payers es-
cape their just taxes.” but the report
added that the majority bill still leaves
large discretionary powers with the
treasury department in tax matters.”
FISHER STILL WILD
Well Continues to Gas Despite Efforts
to Mud it In.
The No. 2 Fisher of Scharbauer
and Hoad in the Calliham field
which blew in recently making more
than 1(10000000 cubic feet of gas
initial production is reported still
running wild. The well was believed
last Friday to be caving and oil men
reported that it was about under con-
trol. But Friday it began making
large heads nnd reports from Calliham
say that the derrick was destroyed.
Frantic efforts are being'made on the
part of representatives of the Railroad
Commission to plug the well.
The well is said to making consider-
able water along with the gas. It is
making large heads. Efforts have been
made during the Inst two or three
days to mud the well in nnd it wns
believed Monday morning that other
steps would have to be taken.
The No. 2 Fisher is said to be
wasting considerable gas but is not
affecting the pressure in offset wells.
