It was believed for some time that efforts would be made to have the statute repealed during the last ses sion of congress, but as tax legisla tion was not taken up, the publicity provision still remains part of the law, and revenue officials here have all intentions of carrying it out. ' It was said that the fact that there are a number of cases Testing the legality of the statute now before the supreme court would In no way influence the attttude of the Internal revenue bureau In carrying out the provisions of the lew. The case^iow pending are all suits Instituted by th* Department of Jus tice against newspapers who publish ed the amounts of individual taxes. In order to test whether the publicity provision makes publication of the leturns legal. It Is thought also that the court's decision also will throw light on the question of whether the statute 1* constitutional. ^ One of the chief Ills charged against the publicity Is that It ma terially helped stock swindlers, com pilers of "sucker lists" and other con fidence workers.

Paris, April G.—A French cabinet crisis cannot be avoided more than a week longer, political observers pre dicted tonight, because of the conflict raging within the Herriot cabinet over methods for a general overhaul ing of French finances. Semi-official information was that the new minister of finance, M. de Monzie, with the approval of the gov eminent, intends to ask the cham ber of deputies to authorize the issue of 4,000.000.000 francs more paper money. Besides the matter of increas ing circulations, the ministers are as serted to be divided as to whether the government should decide on a straight capita) levy or a forced loan. I)e Monzie Popular. While the cabinet today tried to settle the clash between M. de Mon zio and Premier Herriot on the for mula by which It Is proposed to ask the French people to hand over' 10 per cent of their fortunes to the state, prophets were busy picking our fu ture ministers to succeed the present government, tie Monzle's courageous attitude in locking horns with Premier Herriot at the outset of his career as flnanbe minister has made him a conspicuous candidate fov-lhe premier sltip in these forecasts, Senator Henry de Jouvenel and Senator de Kergue zec are mentioned as being sure of portfolios in the new combination. In the chamber lobbies, however, there are insistent reports that the Herriot government will force a die solution of the chamber while it still is In power and that the aspirants for ministrfal honors, therefore, will have to wait for the results of a new election. The Herriot coalition, ac cording to most of these predictions, sees the dissolution coming and pre fers that the elections he presided over by the present government, If the balloting must be done this year. MacMahon Tried It. The idea of dissolution of the chamber is not popular In France, because the only time It ever was resorted to under the third republic was when President MacMahon at tempted to keep the monarchist gov ernment in power after a popular election had sent a republican ma jority to parliament. Rather than give In to the chamber, which re fused to have anything !/> do with the royalist government, President Mac.Mahnn. acting with the senate, dissolved the lower house, and Issued a decree for a new election. The experiment proved disastrous to the president, whose resignation followed soon after the new elections. 2 SURRENDER ON ABDUCTION CHARGE Indiana poll*, Ind., April f..~Karl Kllnck and Karl (Sentry, both Indict ed last week With T>.

Washington, April 6.—The merger of the Armour and Morris interests will result tn the packing industry be ing entirely controlled by two giant trusts, Walter T,. 'Fisher, former sec retary of the interior and associate government counsel, said today at the final hearings before Secretary of Ag riculture Jardtne on the federal suit to force a dissolution of tlie confblne. Fisher said that If Armour Is not forced to give up the control of Mor ris, Swift & Co., the largest of the packing organizations, would probably take over the Wilson corporation. Swift already partially controls this company through stock ownership, he said. Pie charged that Armour did not need the facilities of the Morris com pany and bought them only to elimi nate aggressive competition. This Is a violation of the law, he pointed out. Judge Ft. P. Halnier, special govern nvent counsel, argued that the merger of the two companies was in re straint of trade and should be dis solved lie said that the combination of two competitors each among the largest in an Industry, violates the law. It was further argued that the gov ernment would not have to prove monopoly in order to win the ault, as proof of elimination of active compe tition would be sufficient. Conclusion of the case will be reached by Thurs day.
