Matter to Come Up at Next!
Meeting of Board of Al
dermen
- J
[ Although ex-Senator Thomas
Brown, who represents the Standard
Underground Cable Company In the
appeal of the railroad siding ordi
nance .in an interview In the Eve
ning News yesterday, declared that
the matter is entirely in \he control
of Mr. Goldberger, the city attorney.
Mr. Goldberger refused to discuss
the matter today and when pressed
for a statement remarked:
"I am reminded of that old say
ing of Lincoln’s, ‘You cait fool some
of the people some of the time, but
you can’t fool all the people all of
' the time.' ”
Further than this Mr. Goldberger
had nothing to say.
As the matter stands at the pres
ent time It would seem from Mr.
Brown's statement yesterday the city
was obliged to appeal the ordinance
from the decision of the supreme
court whether or not a resolution
wns passed to this effect, unless the
ordinance was amended or repealed
by action of the aldermen.
Surprise has been expressed about
the city that the Democrat members
of the board failed to line up be
hind Alderman John J. Clark who
introduced the resolution, but that
two Republican members, Benjamin
A. Riedy and John E. Boiicld did.
From the appearances at this time
the resolution which failed to pass
because of lack of votes, will be
thrashed out at the next meeting of
the board at which time it is hinted
about the city today, personalities
may be indulged in.

MINORITY REPORT FILEO
IN PENDIN6 TARIFF BILL
WASHINGTON, May 6.—The
taxes that would be imposed by
pending tariff bill would be as real
as those Imposed by the revenue
bill and probably as great from
three to four million dollars. Senator
Simmons, Democrat, declares in a
minority report, filed today in the
senate.
"They must be paid by all the
people,” the report said. “Just as
those in the revenue bill must be
paid by all the people and not by
beneficiaries who have demanded
and got them. The people must
not only pay taxes on imports which
go directly into the treasury, but
they must pay the resulting increase
in prices of all the things they buy
and consume.”
In his report, Senator Simmons
undertakes to answer the main con
tention of the majority report and
embodies the main points made by
him in his address in the senate at
tacking the tariff measure.

Taken at the Conference
Today
GENOA, May S (By The Associat
ed Press):—The most critical stage
of the international economic con
ference was reached today, arising
through differences in the ranks of
the allied delegates over the memo
randum to Russia and through the
attitude of the Russians, it was de

“This crisis is more grave than
the one the conference sustained af
ter the signing of 'he Russo-German
treaty on Easter Sunday."

randum. expected to be ready Sun
day or MoUndty will be a distinctly
conciliatory document not intended
to break oft negotiations. Foreign

to comply with the terms offered."
The chief stumbling block was the
clause relating to treatment of for
eign property nationalized by the
soviet government,
Reuters correspondent here said
today:
“The final Russian decision Is noy
expected before Monday or Tuesday’.
Meanwhile it is rumored that Prime
Minister Lloyd George is ready and
that failing a favorable the.me in the
situation as a result of M. Barthou’s
return. Lloyd George will return to
London forthwith."
