In conversation with the news
paper men today, Mr. MacDonald
said he always would be glad to re

doing was apparent today at the
press bureau of the foreign office,
where it was indicated Mr. MacDon
ald might arrange to receive the
newspaper men periodically, the
sime as is done by the president of
the Fnited States. In this respect
Mr. MacDonald would revive the war
time practice of David Lloyd George.
The premier is represented as be
irg anxious at the commencement of
liis administration to have the sup
port and good will of the newspa
pers as well as of the public. The

office will he retained, owing to the

GIFT T9L0 BY
DRY ADHERENT
'lie Liked Ily Kind of a Darn Fool'
Onlv Explanation Given by An
derson for $25,000 Gift.
frN'cw York. Jan. 24. William II.
Anderson, state superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon league, today told a
r.trane tale of the manner in which
he acquired approximately $25,000
which he claims to have loaned to
the league, during his trial on an
indirtment charging forgery in the
third degree.
The strnsre recital, involving the
g'ft of a comparative stranger who.
Andersen said, provided the small
fortune because he "liked his kind of
Csrn fool" was made with Andersoi;
on th? stand in his own defense, af
ter he had made a categorical denial
of the state's accusations against
him.
"John T. King." address unknown,
was the identification given by An
derson of his mysterious benefactor.
The stronger. he raid, introduced
himself in tha Baltimore offices oi

$10,000 a year, Anderson
told th" jury in an even voice. King,
because "he liked my kind of a darn
fool and believed in the prohibition
causae." invested his own money for
tbe league head's account and ac
cumulated the tidy fortune for him.
He told of his relations with O.
Bertsall Phillips, league fund solici
tor, whose accusations for the basis
for the forgery indictment upon
which Anderson now is being tried.
"He returned to me after we had
had r-. conference one morning," An
derson testified, "and said he thought
it only fair that I tadce half of hir
earnings above ?l0.0tH' a year, be
cause I asiste him greatly in get
ting subscriptions. I told him I would
think it over."
He -thought it oreY, he said, and
agreed that Phillip's, proppsal war.
"only justice to ie, aud icr three
consecutive years the two shared halt"
of all commissions in excess of ?10,
000 paid annually to Phillips. Ander
son then denied be had told Phillip?
he preferred to make a certain con
tract with him "in order to fool the
Rcckefolilers" and add- d that he had
never attempted "to fool anybody."
During cro.-s examination Andersen
admitted that John I). Rockefeller
and his son had contributed to the
league approximately $7o.000 a year
for three years after Phillips became
its fund solicitor. Before that, he
said, the elder Rockefeller only con
tributed $5,000 a year.

TENTATIVE CUTS
IN TAXES GIVEN
FAVOR IN NOUS
i-:
Abolition of Levies cn Candy and
Mezsagss Likely to Be Urged
Other Appeals Up.
Washington, Jan. 21. Tentative
decisions to repeal the tax on candy
and the tax on telegrams, telephones
and leased ires were reached today
by the house ways and means com
! mittee.
i Repeal of the manufacturer's tax
, on candy was not contemplated un
der the Mellon program, and will
, mean a loss of 11 thousand dollars
! annually. The repeal of the tax on
telegrams, telephons and leased
wires was recommended by Secre
; tary of the Treasury Mellon and will
j mean a loss in revenue of about 30
million dollars annually.
j The committee expects to decide
i o?i the repeal df additional miscel
' laueous excise taxes tomorrow. Mem
! bors are preparing to submit group
' plans for the elimination or reduc-
tion of a considerable number of mis
celaneous taxes which would be left
j in the law under the Mellon pro
'gram. Such action will be made pos
sible probably by only a partial re
,peal of the tax on admissions which
; yields 70 million dollars annually,
and which Secretary Mellon propos
ed to wipe out entirely.
It was indicated that there is
strong sentiment for tho repeal of
the jewelry tax and also of the lux
ury taxes such as those on carpets
and rugs and trunks and suitcases.
There is no possibility for the repeal
of the entire automobile tax, but
provision may be made for the elimi
nation of the tax on spare parts tired
for replaceemnis. There is consider
able stinport also for a proposal to
eliminate the tax on trucks.
The ways and means committee
managed to work along in fairly har
. monious fashion, and there was no
Open split between republicans and
democrats. Representative Tread
way, republican, Massachusetts, how
ever, issued a statement urging that
the republicans abandon further ef
forts to prepare a tax bill in confer
ence with the edmocrats and instead
write a strictly republican bill.

! CRIMINAL ACTION
ON TEAFOT DOME
MAY BE POSSIBLE
President Ccolidge is Reluctant
Thinks Anyone Guilty, But
is Watching the Case.
to
Washington, Jan. 25. Evidence
produced before the senate Teapot
Dome investigating committee has
in the opinion of President Coolidge
pointed towrrd criminal action.
Mr. Coolidge is reluctant to be
lieve that any of those connected
with the lease are guilty of criminal
intent, but holds that the evidence
presented has been .such as to re
quire explanation, and the govern
ment will undertake to ascertain
where criminal action lies.
Aside from the criminal action pos
sibility, the government will pro-
the leases to the
evidence of fraud
oil reserves if the
is such as to stand
in court action.
The whole course of the govern
ment as determined by the president
will be to protect the interests of
the United States and to proceed vig
orously against any infraction of
laws.
In following this course the de
partment of justice will continue its
observation at the hearings, and re
view in detail the testimony present
ed to the committee.
The government, it was stated of
ficially, has taken no action toward
suspension of work on either of the
leases, and if such action has been
taken it has been at the direction of
the lessees.
