BRITTON (By BpeeUl Leased Wire.) "Washington, Oct. 6 The ease of Gil Mam Grissom.. of Greeniboro, secretary of ths Republic State Committee of North Carolina nominated lor eonee tor of Internal Revenue for North Caro lina by President Harding ia in "the lapi of the tods" for there ia to be a wait till the Senate Finance Commit tee taken action on it, and it ii under atood that the eommittee U not going to be ia a hurry to art. Several reasons eombine to bring the delay. The committee desires to have the wiews of Senator Bimmons al Senator Overman on the matter, and they having understood that there an both Republicans and Democrats of North Carolina who may hare protests to make, ask only a reasonable time to ti.ar from the State. As the matter stands now neither of the two North Carolina Senators are opposing the eon- 'rirmntion of Mr. Grissom. . ' But there is something more than thi.. former Senator Marion Butler has no love for Gilliam Grissom, and if he can do anything to block the nomi nation he is sure to do it. He has been, advocating the appointment of William B. Duncan, of Raleigh, son of the late E. C. Duncan, and ho is not I going to let go now, even witli the Grissom nomination before the Senate. And there are men now powerful in the Republican party who are standing up for the young Duncan because of the regard they bad for his father. Duncan Has Strong Support Among them aro Senator lVnro chairman of the committee which is to paae upon the Grissom nomination, Chief Justice Taft, Secretary of State Hughes, a list to which other names can be added. The rumor here is that appeals will be made to these by Re publican North. ..Carolina to aid in defeating the confirmation of Grissom, for there is a big faction of North Carolina Republicans of all parts of the State who are against him, holding that he is merely the. "handy man" of Ke publican National Committeeman John M. Morehead, and doesn't, deserve the fattest of the Federal jobs in North Carolina. That they will find a spokesman also hi Senator Hirant Johnson is hardly to be doubted, for Grissom bus made fun of Hiram. And be was a delegate to the Republican national convention at Chi cago at which Senator Johnson says he was betrayed' ly ine isona vruim-j lans. And the negro Republicans ina speak up ag.vnst him and reach willing ears in the persons of those Republican Senators wlio have a large negro vote in their states. Also there are IVmn erats who would like to know about rumors that Gilliam Grissom, in the habit of denouncing Democrats in warm lanenaee. did not go beyond the limit in things tie had to say about former President Wilson, and they may nsk Democratic Senators to fight the Gris som nomination. For the present, how ever, the Grissom nomination is in cold towage. Democrats File Reports The Democrats of the Senate finance committee today tiled a minority report on the tax revision bill, this signed by Senators F. M. Simmons, John Sharp Wiliams, A. A. Jones, Peter G. Gerry James A. Reed, and David I. Walsh It is a lengthy document, going into details showing the injustices, the ir eaualities of the Republican revenue bill, that in it the Republican party has not fulfilled its prompt) to tho peo pie of revision and simplification of the tax laws, that the character of the taxes have not been changed snd that there is no simplification. And the report says : "The reductions that have been made are of a character and were apparently intended to be such that would relieve certain favored classes of tax payers at the expense of a great part of the tax payers. ' Tho dishonesty of tho Ke publican party is set forth in the state ment that: "Promise, of economy and retrenchment were the basis of frenzied appeals to the country for tho return to power of the Republican party. Pres ident Harding, in his very first message to the Congress, appealed for a simpli fied tax system, but these promises the Congress has not fulfilled. The mi nority declares that there has been an inexcusable juggling of figures ami ef forts to perform feats of legerdemain, apparently for the purposo of conceal ing from the country the actual condi tion of the finances and disguise the in competency of the party in power to formulate a system of taxation just and equitable and adequate for the fiscal requirements of the government" and gives the figures in detail to show the justification of this criticism, the estimates snd appropriation figures of Secretary Mellon being "used, and ref erence made to his recommendation for doeume'ntary stamp taxes by doubling the present rate, a stamp tax of two ' cents on each bank check, an increase of one cent on first elass mail, and an annual tax of tf) on each motor vehicle, these not accepted, but showing the de sire of the administration as J.o the placing of taxes.

John H. Pope, local attorney, took the stand la his own behalf today at his trial on a charge of murder in the first degree. The defense announced it had no other witnesses and began its argnment on a motion for an instructed verdict in favor of the defendant. The argument had not been concluded when the cnae went over until tomorrow. The State rested early in the after noon session. Pope Denies Robbery. Tope was on the stand less than an hour. ITe denied unequivocally that he had any knowledge of the impending robbery of the Talace Theatre here the night of September 4 by Frank Rawlins, who shot-and killed George H. Hickman manager of. the playhouse. Pope ad mitted he had very probably been at certain places described by state's wit nesses. He denieil that he hail told Irwin and Johnny Novitrky, two states' witnesses, when he borrowed their car on the night of the killing. th:it he and Rawlins were going to ''stick up" the theatre. His story was to the effect that he was a victim of circumstances. He had defended Rawlins and W. Y. HUtou at thfir trial on a grand larceny charge. Melton was arrested in connection with tho present case, but discharged after a grand jury investigation, and so far as known left the city immediately. Neither Ran line or Mellon had ever paid him anything because of lack of money, I'ojie said. Outlines Movements. On the night of the killing Rawlins told him he had learned that Melton had received some money from his oiter. He asked that rope come with and he would make Melton pay Pope something for the two of them. Rawlins had the impression that Melton, acquiring some money, had gone "under cover." Rawlins suggested they get No vitiky's automobile, as lr did not know where Melton was. Pope obtained the ii v of the r md thev tlrove to a down town pool room, the location of which is one block behind the theatre, and one block west. Rawlins went in the search of Melton and returned in a few minutes, saying he lived up the street about a block. They then drove to a point a little more than a block to. the rear of the theatre. I here, rtawlitis again sought to find Melton while I'opo waited. He waited a considerable time, he said, probably three quarters of an hour or an hour, getting out of the car frequently as he became im patient for Ral:ns to return, tir.ally. he drove back t" the pool room in an effort to le.irn what became of Rawlins. Later, he returnrd the automobile to its owner. He never met Rawlins again until they nere arnigned together on the charge of murder, lie disclaimed having eu r before seen the pistol, mask and torn piece of a towel, taken from Rawlins when he a sarrested.

Babe Buth, king of the long distance cloutcra, although he didn't make any home runs, was in there with a timely hit and some inspiring and heady coaching en the lines. Mike Me Nally, the Yankees' third baseman, rated one of their weakest hitters, contribute a double which hlossomed into a run and jumped into a niche in the world's series hall of fame by tearing off a ne. steal of home in the fifth inning for the second run of the game. Douglas Pitches Well The Yankees' victory was won against a determined Giant defense, the sterling feature, of which was a well-pitched game by Hiil Douglas, the Nationals' spit bail star. Douglas had the slugging Ruth st his mercy after the fourth in ning, striking the Babe out twice amid roars of approval from the Giant rBbters. Douglas left the game in the eighth inning when Earl Smith, pinch hitter, went to bat for him and flied out to Ruth. Barnes pitched the ninth inning for the Giants and was clouted for two hits.
