Harding In Background

Washington. Sept. 9. President
Harding announced this afternoon
the complete membership of the
American delegation in the interna
tional conference on disarmament in
connection with which the Pacific
and far eastern ' questions will be
considered.
The announcement, which was
made by the president when lis. met
the newspaper correspondent after
the cabinet meeting, completely con
firmed the forecast of the size and
personnel of the delegation. .
Here is the delegation as an
tounced by the president:
Charles Evans Hughes, secretary
bf state, republican.
Henrv Cabct Lodge, senator from
Massachusetts and chairman of the
rnate - committee on foreign rela-
ons, republican. .
Elihu Root, former secretary of
state and later senator from New
York, republican. ,
Oscar . Lnderwood, senator
from Alabama, democratic leader in
the senate.
, Harding in Background.
The selection of Secretary Hughes
and Senator Lodge, Mr. Harding an
nounced several weeks ago. Today ho
formally added the names of, Mr.
Root and Senator Underwood to the
list, explaining at the same time that
the main delegation will consist of
four members.
The president will not be a mem
ber of the delegation, as was Mr.
Wilson to the peace delegation at
Paris. Mr. Harding never approved
of Mr. Wilson's course in that par
ticular, believing that the president
sacrifices the power and advantage
of a detached position when he be
comes one of the actual negbtiators.
Mr. Harding will open the confer
ence and then retire to the back
ground. Jn accord with the custom
which confers the honor upon the
head of the home delegation, Mr.
Hughes wilt preside over the delib
erations of ,the conference. .
,' The selection of the secretary of
State to head the delegation was ob
vious from the beginning. In nam
ing two senators as delegates, Mr.
Harding has revived .he traditional
policy ignored by Mr. Wilson, of the
executive collaborating with the oth-
half of the treaty-making power
in negotiations involving foreign re
lations. ; : , - . .. '
Lodge Represents Senate.
The chairman of the foreign rela-
tions committee, Mr. Lodge was a
logical : selection, because of these
considerations, as was the naming of
Mr. Underwood to represent the
democrats. Mr. Lodge is also the re
publican leader in the senate and it
is a pretty safe assumption that any
international agreements requiring
- ratification by the senate which
emanate from the . Washington con
ference with the approval of Senator
Lodge and Underwood, will com
mand the support of the requisite
(wo-thirds of the senate., :v ; -v
In choosing a delegate outside of
the administration and congress, the
president naturally turned to Mr.
Root, undoubtedly the foremost
American diplomat and international
Jurist. " ;
The other nations which, are to
participate in the conference have
agreed with the United States to
limit the mlmbcr of direct negoti
ators in each case to four. .
To Have Advisory Group. "
The United States and each of the
other powers, however, will have an
advisory group of about 12 members.
,The American advisory, group ..will
include representatives of the army,
the navy, labor, women and other
interests. , - ,
The American delegation is to be
fein conferences at an early, date on
the policy to be pursued and more
jimediate in connection witir me
taping of the agenda which Japan
dasires limited in scope.
"Let it be understood," - said a
nigh administration official, "that the
United States is going into this con
ference with thoroughly unselfish
aims.
- "Our whole ' purpose - is to take
hold of the crystallized public opin
ion of the world on the reduction of
armament and turn it into the chan
nels where it will do the most good."

the affair did not take place in this
house. Mr. Johnson, Mr. Seligman.
Mr. Tucker, and a young lady friend
of mine were out to dinner at Ros
lyn. While we were dining Mr.
Johnson asked., me to dance with
him and I did. ' ' v -
Won't Prosecute Men. ,
"This was last Tuesday night. .On
our return home we bade the young
men good night. . I had just reached
my apartment, when I heard a ter
rible scuffle irk the street. My lady
friend and I .immediately called for
the elevator and went to the street
"There 'we, found Mr. Seligman in
a very bad condition.' He could
hardly speak, and. it "was apparent
that he was seriously injured. I
immediately, called for. a doctor and
rushed Mr,- Seligman over to Flow
er hospital." -

have admitted that the young man
had been the victim of - an assault,

Chicaf o Tribune-Omaha Bee LeaKd Wire.
Boston, Sept. 9. Hysterical wom
en wept and fairly threw, money at
Edward Dixon a youthful ex-service
lad from Philadelphia, as the lat
ter collapsed on .the auction block
this afternoon ,on Boston Common
while being offered for sale by Mr.
Zero. It was the second day of the
sale, part of Mr. Ledoux's plan to
wake Boston up to its obligation to
these starving, jobless men, many 'of
them back from the World war.
Dixon,1 a slender, . black haired
youth, in a greasy khaki shirt, with
out jacket and torn blue trousers,
held up with a strap", brake doyn
and cried as Zero, in sonorous voice,
recounted, the boy's history.; As the
sobs' welled into the lad's' throats
and tears streamed down his cheeks,
he collapsed and would have: fallen

arms. ' .' "" . "' :.s - , . I . . ''

- Calls for Bids. v; :
After the boy had . been assisted
to a seat Zero called for bids. "Never

said, "have , you ever, witnessed such
a scene as this, which demonstrates
the great sorrow of hearts that are
broken. . , . a, '
He said that Dixon lost his father

came on the - common -with, his
"slave" band, 26 men in .alL many

the legarthy, curiosity; of Thursday
was supplanted, by. excited interest
The men did not have to wait long
before their, pleas for food . and

brisk and exciting.-. Many .who were

rather meagre offers of Thursday,
upwards of $15 was offered for their

Scullys To
Lower Rent
InNebrask-"
English Brothers,. Owners o
70.000 Acrei in This
State, Reduce Charge
To Tenant.
400 Families Affected
Beatrice, N'eb., Sept. 9. (Special
Telegram.) Abatement of part of
(his year's cash rentals for lands
of the Scully ettate will be an
nounced in a few days, according t'
J. E. C. Fisher, general manager
of the properties in Nebraska and
northern Kansas. The exact amount
of reduction for the properties here
is not known.
Mr. Fisher said that he had re
ceived notice from the American
headquarters of the estate at Lincoln,
III., that a reduction would be made
and that he would be told the ex
act amount in a few days.
The estate, consisting of 210.000
acres of Nebraska, Kansas, Mis
souri and Illinois land, is owned by
the Scully family of England. The
Nebraska holdings are 25,000 acres
in Gage county and about 45,000
acres in Nckolts county. This is
tenanted by 185 families hi Gage
county and about 250 in Nuckolls.
In Family for Years.
The estate has been in the Scully
family for generations. With the
death of Lord Scully the estate
passed into the hands of his two
sons. Thomas, who owns the Ne
braska and Illinois lands, and Fred
who owns the acreage in Missouri
and Kansas. The' accour's are kept
separate, but the same policies are
carried cut in connection with all
of the properties.
Uprisings of the tenants have been
a frequent occurrence.- Repeatedly
alien land laws have been introduced
in state legislatures aimed at this
family. Shortly after Lord Scully
obtained his Kansas holdings, the
legislature of that state passed an
alien land law which was later de
clared unconstitutional. Scully never
took any chances with the law and
became naturalized so he could'con-1
tinue to hold his large acreages.
Cash Rent Required. .
The Scully brothers are continu
ing a policy strictly adhered to by
their father of renting the land on
a basis of so many dollars an acre.
The tennant is required to pay the
taxes and make such road improve
ments as are deemed necessary.
'The . tenant may build himself
house and barn, put up fences and
malce other improvements, but when
he quits his tenantry he must take
the improvements along with him or
sell them to the incoming tenant. The
leases provide certain . crops that
must be raised and the clover acre
age requirements is opposed by some
tenants.
Few Improvements.
The policy adopted by the Scully
family in handling its huge holding
has had a tendency to Keep the ten
ants on the same tarm tor many
years.- However; in driving over
their estates, it is noticeable that
there are few good houses, or barns.
Few orchards are maintained on
Scully farms. - '
Scully tenants at a big nicnic in
Antelope, Kan., threatened to move
en masse from the lands and' refuse
to put in a crop of wheat unless
their demands for reduced : rentals
-were agreed to. ' The tenants alio
have been holding numerous school
house meetings where many agreed
to refuse to sign leases ; unless the
rental was reduced 40 per cent.
Reduced 20 Per Cent.
The announcement of,. the reduction
in Illinois brings the rental down to
less than $7 an acre or about 20 per
cent decrease" and a smaller clover
acreage.- Whether this decrease will
forestall the strike is' unknown.
The tenants assert the rentals have
increased on them every year for a
considerable period and. that - they
have' had a bad season. . With the
present low prices for grain the ten
anta say they cannot pay the present
rental. , Some say their rent is now
double what it-was eight or ,!0 year
ago with produce prices back to al
most the pre-war levels.
, Following an uprising of the' ten
ants against a rent increase a few
years" ago legislative investigations
of absentee landlordism were started
but resulted in affecting none of the
Scully holdings.

members of the crew were wounded
bv Distol shots. Frank J. Fitz-

who had takeir part in the c aid, com

cording to a police report.
' Liauor valued ' at 1 $50,000 and

tirinatpri in 9 midnicht race to OOrt
fronl beyond the three-mile limit on
September in an effort to make sure
the immigrants on board would be
admitted to the country under the
monthly quota regulations.
Exchange Many Shots.
More than a score -of -snots -were
exchanged by the crew and 15 pro
hibition agents. None of the prohi
bition aftents was hurt,
. In order to obtain evidence, ' the
prohibition agents said two of them
arranged on .Wednesday, with mem
bers of the crew to pay $14,000 on
the vessel today for the liquor and
drugs. These two went on the vessel
alone. Meanwhile a member of the
crew noticed a launch with the
other agents approaching. He
warned hisv comrades and the battle
began. -
Fitzpatrick, who had searched the
vessel with the prohibition agents,
was found dead in a nearby ferry
house- after the fight. There were
two bullet wounds- in his heart.
Vessel Is Searched., -.
The raid was under the direction
of Ernest L.' Langley, chief federal
enforcement agent in " New ork.
The " agents searched ' tho vessel
throroughly, the crew fleeing before
them below' decks. There were in
termittent pistol shots from both
crew and agents as the search pro-
ressed and when the battle subsided
iree of the wounded men were
fctind Jying in their bunks.
Mr. Langley said that SUM had
just been paid by one of the advance
agents and part of the contraband
articles delivered when the crew's
suspicions ' were aroused.
The . shooting attracted customs
guards and police reserves, who sur-j
rounded the pier to prevent the crew
from fleeing. The prohibition agents
said, however, that an officer of the.
vessel to whom they were to pay
the money had vanished. The
wounded members of the crew were
taken to a hospital under arrest.
Other ' federal agents claim they
know no motive for Fitzpatrick's
suicide. They expressed the belief
that the excitement and strain of
the raid temporarily deranged him.
' United States Marshal Power, 30
deputy, marshals and 20 policemen
were sent to the King Alexander
after the suicide was reported to the
authorities to arrest all mcmbtrs of
the crew on board and take them to

Hitchcock Scores
Profit Tax Repeal
Nebraska Senator Launches
Demos' Attack on
Bill. '
'Washington, Sept. 9.. Proposals
for repeal of the excess profits tax
and reduction of, the income sur
taxes were attacked today by Sena
tor Hitchcock of Nebraska in the
first statement on taxes to come
from the democratic side of the sen
ate. ;
"The proposal to do away with
the excess profit tax and with all
surtaxes over 25 per cent on indi
vidual incomes," said Senator Hitch
cock, "is in my opinion, very ob
jectionable. . To make the proposed
repeal of the excess profit tax retro
active to last January adds to the
mistake. .'','.
"The surtax is the extra" tax paid
by individuals with large incomes.
Secretary Mellon proposes to- stop
increasing the rate , as soon as it
reaches 25 per cent. I think the
graduation should continue upward
until the tax reaches 64 per cent.
Such vast sums as $500,000 or over
cannot be used as income. They
are merely capital -jncreases. As
such they add enormously each year
to the wealth of a few-. They are
contrary to the public " interests and
ought to be considered contrary-to
public policy. They can ba lim'tcd
and restricted by taxation."' j
