By HENRY SUYDAM. Washington, March 21-Andrew W. Mellon of Pittsburg, the distinguished and much-admired Secretary of the Treasury, is about to be subjected to the perils of a full-dress debate in the U. S. Senate on the subject of himself.

His failure for over four years, to reveal his knowledge of Harry F. Sinclair's heavy contributions to the Republican campaign deficit in 1923 is the point of departure for recurrent demands that Mr. Mellon resign. Today there lies on the table in the Senate a resolution offered by Senator James Couzens, Republican, of Michigan, calling on Mr. Mellon to quit the Cabinet.

The resolution was presented late yesterday afternoon and will be called up for consideration at an early date. Feud of Several Years. The feud between Couzens and Mallon extends back several years to the time that Senator Couzens investigated the Bureau of Internal Revenue. Mr. Couzens, as the former partner of Henry Ford, is reputed to be worth upward of $30,000,000.

Mellon's fortune is upward of $75,000,000. So it is a quarrel between two multimillionaires, each in a distinguished public position. In the Couzens resolution, there are 19 "whereases," winding up with "Resolved." That A. W. Mellon get words to that effect.

Summary of Couzens' Charges. Summarized. against Senator Couzens' charges Mr. Mellon may be set down as follows: 1. That Mr.

Mellon concealed his knowledge of Harry F. Sinclair's 1923 contributions to the Republican deficit, although the Treasury Department was supposed to be assisting in uncovering Sinclair's trail. 2. The Pittsburg Coal Company, described as a enterprise, issued orders to its employees to thwart the recent investigation of Pennsylvania strike conditions by a Senate committee. 3.

Mr. Mellon approved of the expenditure of $1,804,979 in behalf of George Wharton Pepper's candidacy for the Republican nomination for Senator decla ed that giving money to this tend was "like giving money to a church 4. Mr. Mellon holds office in defiance of Section 243 of Revised Statutes of the United States, which prohibits any person engaged in trade commerce from becoming Secretary of the Treasury. 5.

Mr. Mellon is interested in a great number corporations, such as oil and coal companies, to say nothing of banks. 6. Couzens charges that the MelIon National Bank Pittsburg detrauded the United States out of 000 in a tax case. 7.

The Gulf Oil Company, another Mellon enterprise, obtained a tax decision that accrued to the benefit of Mr. Mellon. 8. The Senator alleges that the Bureau of Internal Revenue, which handles income tax cases, has been permeated with corruption, favoritism, violations of law and illegal settlements and that Mr. Mellon bears the responsibility.

9. Mr. Mellon, through his seven years in the Treasury, has exhibited a defiance for and an indifference CO law. Reed Rises to Defend Mellon. When Senator Couzens had finished reading this list of charges, Senator David Reed of Pennsylvania, Mr.

Mellon's usual defender, arose and said: "I presume that otherwise Mr. Mellon 1 is all right." "I wouldn't even admit that," replied Senator Couzens. About 10 days ago, when Mr. Ion told of sending back $50,000 in Sinclair bonds which Will H. offered him in 1923, Senator George Norris of Nebraska, Republican Progressive, demanded Mr.

Mellon's resignation. The Couzens resolution puts the demand in more formal fashion, 'and gives the Senate something upon which action is possible. The agitation against Mr. Mellon comes, in large part, from Republican Progressives, who will be able to count on considerable Democratic support. Tax Fight Made on Couzens.

As a matter of tactics, Senator Couzens' resolution weakens itself through its inclusion of all conceivable charges could be brought against the Secretary of the Treasury. Its violence lack of restraint are a good indication of just how Senator Couzens feels on the subject. The Senator has not forgotten that the Bureau of Internal Revenue tried to collect from him $11.000,000 in the Ford tax case, which incidentally is still pending. Mr. Mellon, on his part, has not forgotten the charges Senator Couzens brought during his investigation of the Treasury's Income Tax Department.

Senator Couzens in the near future will make a speech on the subject of Mellon, which will precipitate a general debate. Mr. Mellon may write a The Answer Is Our idea of a landlord's paradise is a mythical place where tenants outnumber apartments and the word "vacancy" is absolutely unknown. We can't truthfully say that The Eagle's Classified columns are such a place, but we do know that apartment owners find them 3 most reliable medium. Let us recite the case of L.

Travis, indicted and acquitted of a charge of misuse of the State funds in 1920, was the personally picked choice of County Leader Jacob A.

"Travis' election would only continue the dissension in the party and further split the factions whose wardare has brought successive defeats to the Kings County G. O.

Republicans as a means of strengthening his waning powers in dealing out patronage to his own friends. "He picked a man of Travis' record because no other man could be induced to be his candidate." Bly Induced to Withdraw. Mr. Warland further charged that former Assemblyman James F. Bly had been assured of the County leader's support for the leadership until a day or two before the committee meeting, when he was induced to withdraw by Livingston.

Although Livingston has denied any participation in the Travis candidacy, it was stated in Bly's behalf today that the former Assemblyman was "persuaded" to withdraw race for the leadership.

Law Cited Against Mellon. the debate will concern Section 243 One of the interesting features of the Revised Statutes, which, provides that no person appointed Secretary of the Treasury shall "directly or indirectly be concerned or interested in carrying on the business of trade and commerce." The prohibition was included in the act passed on Sept. 2, 1789, establishing the Treasury Department. T. Stewart York as Secretary When President, Grant appointed A.

of the Treasury, soon after March 4, 1869, Stewart was confirmed, but two days later it was discovered he was ineligible for office under the above provision. Efforts to change the law so as to make Stewart eligible failed. Opponents of Mr. Mellon contend that while he has divested himself of any active or direct participation in the enormous enterprises which he owns and controls, he is stilll "indirectly" interested in trade and commerce and thus within the meaning of Section 243. Penalty for Violation.

The statute itself is somewhat quaint. It provides that "every person who offends" against it "shall be guilty of a high misdemeanor" and shall forfeit $3,000 to the United States. Upon conviction, offender shall be removed from office, and thereafter be incapable of holding any office under the United States. Furthermore, if any person other than a public prosecutor shall give information of such an offense, the informer shall receive one-half of the fine, or $1,500. In other words.

if Senator Couzens can get Mr. Mellon ejected on the ground that he is interested in trade or commerce, there will be a prize of $1,500 coming to him. Mr. Couzens will probably not get this reward, but his offensive against Mr. Mellon is going.

to be a spectacular show. SCHOOL BUREAUS AID STUDENT JOB SEEKERS Public schools of Brooklyn are organizing employment bureaus to aid students in obtaining positions for full or part-time as a co-operative measure in the unemployment situation in the city. An appeal has been made to businessmen and industrial concerns for assistance in advising of vacancies and placing students mostly in need of employment. No charge is made either to employer or student. James Madison and Eastern District Evening High School began the movement.

Prosperity and the Income Tax Returns Prosperity will not down. Despite all the good reasons that can be advanced why things should not be going well they continue to go well. The stock market continues to break all records for sale volume and high prices, while early reports from the income tax returns indicate that the expected drop in receipts 1 will not materialize. As a result of the continuous firstpage publicity which stock market transactions have received, the little fellows who always climb into the market when it gets near the top are filing their orders. Wire houses with Western connections report business, and the purchases by the enormous hick gamblers are helping the big fellows in the Street to kite them up in order that later they may the more easily knock them down.

It is in the nature of things that favorable news gets more publicity than that which is unfavorable. And there is, as Secretary Mellon recently remarked to the writer, a certain inherent capacity in optimism to justify itself. Think and talk prosperity and you help create it. Of course the fundamental conditions must be there, too, but it is surprising how much mere psychology has to do with it. The only trouble with the mood of optimism is that it is apt to be sueceeded by the contrary mood which is just as capable of creating a contagious downward pull.

For this reason we are fortunate in having the figures on the income tax returns. There is no guesswork about those. They are a sure test of business conditions SOUTH MAY RALLY TO SMITH DESPITE HEFLIN FORECAST Many in Congress Believe Whole Party Will Back Nominee, Whoever He Is. Eagle Bureau, 901 Colorado Building. Washington, March 21-The prediction of Senator J.

Thomas Heflin of Alabama that the nomination of Governor Smith at Houston will "split the Democratic Party" and result in his "overwhelming defeat" produced immediately today a division Democratic of opinion leaders within here. the ranks of of Many the Southern Democrats believe that the Alabaman wrong in his forecast, but they refuse to say so publicly for fear antagonizing him. The generally lot noncommittal attitude taken by these Southerners on the Heflin prediction is summed up in the statement given The Eagle by Senator Walter F. George, Georgia, today: Nominee Deserves Support. "I think that for the reason that my name will be presented to the Houston convention the Georgia delea gation it would be best for me to make no comment one way or the other on Senator Heflin's prediction.

However, I do think that whoever is nominated there is entitled to the full support of the Democratic party." Congressman John Garner of Texas, another Democratic leader, expressed the opinion today that the Democratic nominee, whomever he is, will get the support of Texas and the South. Senator Cole L. Blease of South Carolina, however, concurs with his Alabama colleague on the results of a Smith nomination. "Party to Stand Together." On the other hand, such Senators as King of Utah disagree with Heflin, though they have no great love for Governor Smith. When asked if Heflin's prediction was right or wrong, King said: "Wrong.

The Democratic party will stand together and fight to the last ditch, whoever is nominated." The Georgia delegation in the House, generally to Senator one way or the other, thus George, refuses to express an opinions cue from their favorite The reason for this, it is explained, is that they do not want to be involved in any sort of controversy with Senator Heflin. Heflin May Fight George. The feeling of the Georgia delegation is that its candidate should eventually get the support of the Alabama delegation. Its members recall the fact that in 1912 the Georgia delegation stuck to the Underwood candidacy for 44 ballots. They claim that there is always friendliness between the neighbor States and that this should now redound to the benefit of Senator George, provided Alabama is not aroused to a hostile position.

Although Senator Heflin has not expressed himself poo the matter, his friends say that will use his influence with the Alabama delegation to frustrate this hope for Senator George on the ground that Georgia's candidate is "too liberal" on the religious issue. But most of these Southern Democrats in private conversation express the opinion that Senator Heflin is wrong and that the nomination of Smith would not divide the Democratic party. At the present juncture they are still standing where they were almost a year ago- with their fingers crossed and their lips sealed at any public questions relating to the Smith nomination.

Right now, or any time between now and April 3, "Pete" McGuinness may accidentally meet "Jim" McQuade somewhere on Manhattan ave. when other that happens, of or if it sensational happens, things a nature will probably follow in swift succession. McGuinness, tall and heavy of build and red-faced, is liable to strike out and punch McQuade in the nose.

McQuade, short and stocky and redfaced, is liable to strike back immediately. And blood is liable to flow. That's how violent a stage has now been reached in the battle between these two for the Democratic leadership of Greenpoint, more officially described as 15th A. D. All Greenpoint is agog over it, or if not it should be.

Only two weeks remain before the decision at the primaries and both generals in the war gathered their forces last night and supplied them with strategy and ammunition for the final concentrated campaign. Both Clubs "Regular." Alderman McGuinness, the present leader, met his forces in the Greenpoint People's Regular Democratic Club on the southwest corner of Manhattan and Meserole aves. Register McQuade, a leader himself four or five years ago and now candidate to oust the Alderman, lined up his own troops in the 15th Assembly District Regular Democratic, on the northeast corner of the same streets. Both clubs, you will notice, are "regular," but not in each other's eyes. Both clubrooms were full capaclity with larger audiences, than they had ever known Both armies listened to denunciations of the opposing leaders.

And both are out now -or should be--scouting for votes. McGuinness, the younger and more excitable man, spoke for nearly an hour, and taunted his rival with having placed 10 members of his family on the Register's payroll, paying them a total annual salary of $12,000. He referred to McQuade as "Payroll Jim" and also as "Park Avenue Jim" and "Gentleman Jim," epithets which are considered disreputable in Greenpoint. He became a little more personal flung out such names as and "snake in the grass." McQuade Remains Calm. But across the No-Man's-Land formed by the intersection of Manhattan and Meserole aves.

McQuade was doing a little better. Older and more foxy at game of political warfare, he remained calm as he told what was what, and at the same time he used the more picturesque words. "Permitless, paradeless, promising Pete," he sang in poetical alliteration of the Alderman, and added, with apparent admiration of his own selfrestraint: "This man, in my humble opinion, is the greatest failure that ever struck this district!" He told of some of failures which, he said, McGuinness had achieved. In particular, there was a parade about Greenpoint, or the McQuade faction of Greenpoint, seems still to be troubled. It was a parade which, it appears, was to mark the breaking of ground for a new subway the Alderman had promised get a permit for it -but didn't.

This made Alderman McGuinness appear quite ridiculous, if the Register is to be believed. "What, a hero!" he chortled (but he didn't really mean that McGuinness was a hero). "What a hero!" Matter of Weight Settled. "He has said." the Register recalled, "that I'm in rat, a doublecrosser, a and he's going to end up by punching me in the nose. I didn't know I'd have to be a Tunney to wih this leadership, but if I have to, well--in catch-ascatch-can weights I can hold my own I'll be That, then, settles the matter of the weight at which the fight is to be fought.

There were other speakers at the McQuade meeting, and these added. in the midst of recurring storms of applause, to the list of epithets for McGuinness. "Payroll" Epithet Again. There was George Gordon, who turned the "payroll" gun against the common enemy. "You ought to see him in City Hall." he advised, "at City Hall on the 1st and 15th of the month, the first in line to get his check.

Pete' works an hour Sinclair's Horses Barred From All Maryland Tracks The racehorses owned by Harry F. Sinclair have been barred from racing on the tracks of Maryland. The Maryland Racing Commission made the announcement last night in Baltimore that entries from the oil man's Rancocas Stables would not be accepted. James F. Haywood, the secretary of the Commission, issued the statement.

Mr. Sinclair's connection with the Teapot Dome oil scandal was given as the reason for the drastic step. The racing associations of Pimlico. Bowie, Havre Grace and Laurel all received the notification. The action is purely Statewide and no nications be sent to New York: or Kentucky, The Jockey Club, which controls racing in New York, it was learned, has no action under contemplation to exclude Sinclair horses from the local tracks this summer.

Already Harry F. Sinclair's colors have been entered in the Preakness at Pimlico. Three of his colts, Mowlee. Sublevado and Nassak, will have to be withdrawn Maryland authorities do not relent. In the 000 Dixie, at the track, the oil man has entered his veteran Gray Lag and the 4-year-old Sweepster.

The first trio also have been entered in the Kentucky Derby. Pimlico's entry list has closed. but the three remaining racing associations are still open. In the past the Sinclair stables usually have entered several contenders. ANY Mechanic can perfectly adjust the Hydraulic brakes on AUBURN RIFT DEVELOPS AMONG COUNSEL IN FARE FIGHT and gets 100 bucks a week." And then, in a burst of inspiration: "Lindbergh can but Peter Jackass McGuinness-that's what the J.

stands for, Jackass -can say Assistant District Attorney James I. Cuff indicated that McGuinness might well be referred to as a small insect not spoken of in the best SOciety. "If." he said, "we paid any attenthe way tried to answer them, tion to then vile slanders from across we'd be engaged in a perpetual fleachase." At the same time. or a little earlier, McGuinness was telling his own supporters: "Unless 'Park Avenue Jim' McQuade quits making false statements about me I may find it necessary to have the Supreme Court Justice of this district appoint a lunacy commission to look into his sanity." This at first gave rise to a rumor that there would be no punching in the nose, since a man doesn't go to court when he has a real punch noses. The rumor was, however, eventually stifled.

Constructive Issues. McGuinness denied outright the charge of his opponent that he had quarreled with three Police Commissioners. "I did fight." he said, "with Commissioner Enright and I fought with Commissioner McLaughlin, far I have not fought with Commissioner Warren." It should not be said that the campaign lacks its constructive issues. Mr. McQuade pointed out last night that McGuinness is no leader at all, since he has brought darn little patronage to the district or done anything notable for it in the way of local improvements.

"Why, for the first time Presidential conventions the district will have no delegate in the convention at Houston," he revealed. "How can you call a man like that a leader?" But McGuinness replied that he had done things for Greenpoint, that as a matter of fact he had 300 Chinese coolies deported from the district, thus getting them back to China. "Next week," he concluded, "I will try to disprove the lies that that snake the street will cook up in the meantime." GREENPOINT DRIVE ON POLES DENIED R. J. Hurley, of 7076 6th Brooklyn, who founded the organization of the Native Sons of the State of New York in 1914, and said he is responsible for foundation of its Greenpoint Council, entered the McQuade-McGuinness political row today.

He stated that the Native Sons are not functioning with any idea driving "the Polish population out of Greenpoint," as Register McQuade charged yesterday. "This is an organization of American-born men," said Mr. Hurley, "and it has no idea of stopping those who were not born in America from enjoying the country and its privileges. idea is merely to further the development of American-born. We function in that field just a8 Hibernian societies, Jewish societies and Polish societies function in their felds.

"I opened the Greenpoint council with Alderman McGuinness. We have several Polish members now. We will take in any man, regardless of his parentage, so long as he was born in this country." EAGELS' MANAGERS CHARGE DRINKING IN HER 'ILLNESSES' Continued from Page 1. Miss Eagels' managers. Mr.

We have not yet received any formal charges, but we are going to see that actresses and actors live up to their contracts regardless of who they are.

"If the management makes formal charges, Miss Eagles will be given 30 days to answer either in person or through a representative. I do not know the specific nature of the occurrences on the trip. Messages we have received show her management considered that she was not ill, and that she was responsible for her own condition." At the offices of A. H. Wood, at 236 W.

Indications of a split between the Walker Administration and the State Transit Commission over the policies of the lawyers in defending the 7-cent fare suit brought by the I. R. T. developed today. The city, through its new special counsel, former Controller Charles L.

Craig, is planning to put forth as its chief line of defense the claim that the State had delegated to the city a power to fix the nickel rate in the dual contracts. Samuel Untermyer, as special counsel for the State body, is building his defense structure on the doctrine of the sAcredness of the dual contracts as binding agreements. Meanwhile both sides are tangled in the web of red tape over the status of the city as a proper defendant. The I. R.

T. frankly asserts that since the State body is made agent of the city for all purposes under the contracts, the battle really should be between the company and the Gilchrist-Lockwood-Godley board. The city insists it is in, and Mr. Untermyer seems more or less willing it should stay in. His friends, however, called attention to the "fact that by the express terms of the rapid transit act, under which the dual contracts were made, the duty of negotiating, executing and enforcing the contract for the 5-cent fare was imposed upon the Transit Commission and not upon the city" appears to be a swat at the reported Craig theory.

The lawyers for both the city and the State Transit Commission profess publicly a devout respect for each other and at least diplomatic peacebut spokesmen for each side are out sniping. "Friends of Mr. Craig" late yesterday brought forward the there that the State had delegated a farefixing power to the city in the legislation approving the dual contracts. Today "authorities close to Mr. Untermyer" insisted that "the chief reliance of the defense was and would be the binding force of the contract and that this contention was written all over the briefs." This spokesman admitted that "there were other and very serious questions confronting the but added that "there would be no change whatever in the plan" of defense and added "reports to the trary were without basis." Mr.

Craig "Set Down." From the city's side of the fence came a delightful picture of Mr. Craig as the city's new 5-cept fare defender, acting in the principal role of the litigation. But the "authority closely connected with the defense" who spoke for Mr. Untermyer today cited that one of then assistant corporation counsels had been helping, Joseph A. Devery, "was forced to retire because of illness.

which created a need for further aid." That little line set Mr. Craig down in the category of a mere "assistant corporation counsel" and baton sought which to paint away the Marshal's he was depicted as carrying in earlier reports from the city's legal counsel table. It was stated that the hearing fixed for tomorrow before the Federal Statutory Court, Judges Manton, Knox and Bondy, would be adjourned because of the continued illness of Mr. Untermyer. It was insisted, however, that the case would be argued on the theory set forth in the briefs already, filed, which had been prepared under the direction of Mr.

Untermyer and signed by the Corporation Counsel. DRIVE TO COMPLETE FUND FOR DOGGETT MEMORIAL At the meeting of the Doggett Memorial Committee held Erasmus Hall High Senool last evening progress was reported by the various sub-committees. Miss Alix Cameron, chairman of committee, emphasized the necessity, for completing arrangements as soon as possible so that the memorial window may ba made this spring and be ready for installation in Mr. Doggett's former studio during the summer when the school is closed. N.

Brock, treasurer of tha committee, reported that in response to the announcements sent out to the former pupils of Mr. Doggett whose addresses were available two-thirds of the required sum has been subscribed. former Yale football star, to whom she was married in August, 1925. During her recent Chicago engagement she admitted that she was consulting attorneys with a view of obtaining a divorce.

It was understood that if the suit was brought, Mr. Coy, who is connected with a New York brokerage house, would not contest it. Up income to topped March 17 his Uncle 1927 Sam's income 1928 by $18.000.000. But the ever -cautious Treasury Department warns us not to take as a criterion. We are told that early returns are perthine sonal returns, which are comparatively unimportant in the grand total.

The big corporations hold back their checks, and it is their returns that give the final plus or minus to the figures. Still it is difficult to see why, if personal returns average generally higher, corporation returns should show an absolutely contrary trend. We do know, of course, that many annual corporation reports have shown a fallting off compared with last year. In the oil industry, for example, there were practically no gains and generally large losses. But in other lines gains have been common, and it is impossible to guess how the balance will run.

The Treasury Department plays safe and makes a pessimistic guess. But it has guessed wrong so persistently that its present cry of "wolf" only evokes a smile. Tax reduction awaits next week's Treasury announcement. At present there is no reason to doubt the possibility of a $225,000,000 reduction as proposed by the Administration last year. The House has raised this by more than $50,000,000.

The Senate has wisely decided to await the compilation of the March 15 returns before acting on the House bill. If Congress will be as reasonable on other matters as it was on the $780,000,000 naval program there would seem to be no reason why a compromise proposal cutting down revenues by around $250,000,000 should not go through, The Only Jeweled Piece of Its Kind in The World! You can have it--a ring, brooch, pin or pendant--as utterly distinctive as your own personality--and, happily, without the premium of fabulous price. We have on display many original pieces of jewelry of our own creation, but should you prefer something different, we will fashion it according to your wishes. NINETY FOURTH YEAR WM. WISE SON, Inc.
