days.
Republican leaders of the house,
as the result of the dark picture of
the government financial situation
given the committee yesterday by
Secretary Mellon realize it will be
most difficult to make good their
promise of reducing taxes by $500,-
000,000. Upon Mellon's estimates of
expenditures, taxes must be in-
creased $266,000,000.
To cut taxes $500,000,000 the new
revenue bill must not yield more
than $3,000,000,000. The revenue re-
vision program estimated by Mellon
with the several new taxes would
yielil approximately $3,565,00,0<H>. 'f
expentfltures can be cut to $3,750,-
000,000 or $804,000,000 under the Mel-
lon estimate the $500,000,000 cut in
taxes could be accomplished. In ad-
dition to $3,000,000,000 which would
be provided in the new tax bill the
Fordney tariff is expected to bring in
$370,000,000 if passed by January 1,
and $350,000,000 will come from the
salvage of war material.

sign a statement that he had com-
mitted the robbery. He wouldn't
sign, and in desperation 1 shot him.'
This in the confession made by
Miss Lena Clarke, pretty postmis-

Vestal at Orlando, according to word
received here today.
A week ago $32,000 disappeared
from a registered package.
W. H. Miltmore, Orlando restau-
rant man. was found dead in a hotel
room in that place shortly afterward.
Police arrested Lena.
The young postmistress told police
she had followed Miltmore from West
Palm Beach to Orlando, had lured
him to her room, drugged him and
then gone for police. She did this,
she said, because she suspectod the
man of the postoffice robbery. I^ater
she told authorities she alone was re-
sponsible for the robbery; that she
stole the money to cover shortages
approximating $20,000.
Hughes said.
Charge of conjoint robbery was
tiled against Varrara by County At-
