Washington, May 8 .stmt u demo utic attacks were nude in the home it-day on l lie rrrtort bv Director Dawes of the budget bureau, trans- utittcd to the appropriations com mittee by Pieident Harding, setting krth rrdnctiout in government ex I endtturcs. Kcprernt.une fUrns, Tennessee, tanking democrat oi the committee, who aked for specific information in resolution, charged that careful enalvsis of the report showed that me figures were "plainly deceptive. xnd that (hey had been "nuitipulated in an effort to mislead the public into me hriici tint oine economy had been effected by the administra tion.' Joining in the attack. Rci-rcsruta- five Byrnes," democrat, South Caro- . Ima. also a member of lit? appro priation roniniittec," declared that if the president had an opportunity to examine the "itemized statement of alleged saving constituting the total of $136,0(10,000 he would dis cover that it it pure bunk." Saye Byrnt "Quibbling." Defending the report, Kcpresenta tiie Mondell, Wyoming, the rrpubli- ' can leader, asserted that A(r. Byrns, Teniiescee, was "quibbling" as to de tails of savings effected, and "that some of the economies had resulted tiite as much from the vigilance of congress as from the activities of the budget hiirtuii director." Chairman Madden o(f the appro priations committee said "somebody had raised the question of the vera city'' and that while Mr. Byrnes had mentioned deficiency estimates for this year of $447,000,000 it was a fact only $12,000,000 of this total could be attributed to the Harding administration, the balance being a hangover. "It has been said that figures will not lie, but every one knows that they may be juggled, and even a cas ual observation of the immense array of figures submitted by the very large accounting force of the bureau of, the budget 'shows they have been manipulated in an effort to mis lead the public into the belief that economy has been effected by the ad ministration. In this connection it should not be forgotten that the aft propriations for the expenditures in 1921 were made by a republican con gress. , No Reduction in Taxes. ' "The administration banks heavily ' on the crcdulty' oi the American ' people for a reduction of taxes as the only test as to whether or not mere nas Deen a reaucnoq in ex penditures. The plain fact is thaX there has been no reduction of taxes by the congress except that of the liitr triitM nnH the multimillionaires of the country, The vast 'body of taxpayers have been given no relict whatever." ' ' . ' ; "The director of the budget states that only such reductions as are real -savings and not postponed expendi tures' are included in his general es timate of savings,? said Mr. Byrnes, South Carolina. "Conclusive evi dence that this is not true, is con tained in the fact that this claim in alleged savings was first made pub lee in July, 1921, and the largest single savings was claimed for the Treasury department amounting to $30,343,143. On the same day a let ter was addressed by the represen tative of the budget bureau in the Treasury department to the chiefs of the various divisions, complaining that in their responses to budget cir cular No. 1. they had tiot saved enough money, when an analysis showed the total amount to be saved from the bureaus in the Treasury de partment amounted to but $2,000,000."

An attack on the flexible tariff lan proposed by the senate finance committee on the recommendation of President Harding was launched in the senate and in the course of the four-hour debate, Chairman MrCumbcr. in charge of the tariff bill, announced that some of the objections raised to the plan would be contidered by the committee before final senate action on it. Senator Walsh, democrat, Mon tana, opened the discussion with the delivery of a prepared' address in which he cited many authorities and court decisions to support his argu nient that the provisions were un constitutional. Senators Underwood of Alabama and Simmons of North Carolina, the democratic leaders, joined him, arguing that for the first time in the history of the country, it was proposed to protect the profits of American manufacturers. Defend Plan. Chairman McCumber and Senator Smoot of Utah, ranking republicans on the finance committee, defended the plan, the former insisting that if the American producer raised his price to an exorbitant figure it was not contemplated that the .president would increase tariff duties to protect him. Senator Smoot expressed doubt that the president would have to act in more than one case out of a thou sand and added that the rule laid down under which he could act was so plain that there was no doubt about its constitutionality. Senator Walsh told the senate that the constitution specifically reserved to congress the power to lay and collect .taxes and import duties, and that congress could not delegate this authority. He also attacked the flex ible plan on the ground that no pro vision was made for judicial re view of the president's action in changing rates or classifications and contended that the rule laid down under which the president was to act to "equalize conditions of com petition in trade ' was so indefinite that the president could take into consideration many elements aside from production costs." . No Investigation Made. In" this connection the speaker said debate on the question had disclosed the committee had made no investi gation into the- relative cost Of pro duction in this -country and abroad but had been governed largely, it not wholly, by prices of domestic and foreign articles in the American market. : . 1 . - ' Replying to Senator Walsh, Sena tor McCumber said the president would be authorized to take into consideration every angle bearing on the question and these factors might include exchange, labor costs, freight rates, export duties and laws' and regulations in the country of origin and any other matters attecting equality in the markets of the United States. v; American manufacturers, he de clared, "are (not much interested in what an article costs abroad, but in what it is being laid down for in the American market." ;, Banker Wentz Is Found by Sheriff Aurora Man Who Appeal ed Conviction Held in Michigan for Felony, Aurora.

Gen. Wu Refuses to Obey Allies' Order to Quit Tientsin Hostilities Against Victorious Chinese Leader Started by Military Governor of Honan. Hankow. May 8.-(By A. r.)-The Pekiii-Hankow railway north of Kwangshui has been cut. and it is re ported that Chao Ti, military gov ernor of the province of Honan, has started hostilities against the forces of Wu Pci-Fu. Fishtins: was proreedinir yesterday at Sinyang Chow, 100 miles north of here, and some occurred yesterday at Cheng Chow. The above dispatch would indicate that Wu Pei-l'u, while successful in his campaign against the Manchurian general, Chang Tso-Lin, in the vicin ity of Pekm. was beine attacked from the south. Chens: Chow, the north ernmost point mentioned in the dis patch, is- in rtonan province, aDoui 400 miles southwest of Pckin, on the Fekin-Hankow railway. Chao ft has been governor of Ho nan since June, 1916. Wu Ordered to Leave. Tientsin. Mav 8. (By A. P.) Gen. Wu Pci-Fu. who came to lien tsin from Pekin in purprit of the Manchurian aeneral, Chang Iso Lin. was ordered yesterday by the allied military commanders here to leave the city, as his presence was held to be in violation ot the iwi protocol. He refused to leave on the arround that he was the acting governor Chihli province and would remain as Jong as necessary lor nis purposes. The bridges between this city and Taku, on the south side of the Hun river estuary, were burned by the retreating members of Chang Tso Lin's armv. Two thousand of Chang's soldiers were reported yes tcrdav in Taneku. on the north side of the river, where their demands to convoy them to Mukden were fruit less, no locomotives being available. Freauent . attempts at - tclepnomc communication with langku last night were unsuccessful. Should Wu accede to the allied ue- mands .to leave he would have to move back toward Pekin, as rail communication to the cast and north has been severed by the burning of the bridges and a Japanese destroyer preventing the dispatch ot nis forces down the river in barges. The situation, therefore, is that, while Chang Tso-Lin had Uninter rupted use of the Mukden railway for two weeks during his offensive operations, his pusuer is now unable to use the road to complete his vic tory.

Reed as a "marplot," former' President WiUon, in a letter to former Gov. Lon V. Stephens, asked the defeat of Missouri's senior senator to "redeem the reputation" of the democratic party.

' The tetter, in reply To one by Mr. Stephens, follows: "My Dear Governor Stephens: "Your letter of April 22d has grati fied me, I am glad to be sustained in my own judgment of Reed by your closer knowledge of him, and I shall hope and confidently expect to see him repudiated by the democrats at the primaries. Certainly Missouri cannot afford to be represented by such a marplot and it might check the enthusiasm of democrats throughout the country if their comrades in Mis souri should not redeem the reputa tion of the party by substituting for Reed a -man of the true breed of democratic principle. I am sure your own great influence will contribute to the desired and expected redemption. Please accept assurance of my en tire confidence ot the Missouri demo crats and, believe me, with best wishes, "Sincerely votirs. (Signed) "WOODROW WILSON." In a letter last ucck to John C. Hodgcn. a local lawyer, Mr. Wilson asked Mr. Hodgen "not to complicate the contest in Missouri by becoming a candidate for the nomination."- The primary is August 1.'

Prime Minister Lloyd George of Great Britain and Foreign Minister Schanter of Italy addressed today a strong appeal to the Russian repre- s sentstives at the conference here, urging them to accept the allied memoMndum in its main points and ' promising Russia an international loan, with the understanding that the lending countries would thus provide funds for the reconstruction of Rus sia. The allies would claim the right to make sure, however, that the money loaned was actually inveated in the work of reconstruction.
