(By the Associate'! !Press) Salomon Teilirian. the Armen ian student, who, in March last, shot and killed Talaat Pasha, former grand vizier and minister of finance of Tur key, was acquitted in the assize court here today. The trial opened Thursday. Teiliriai, in his defense, asserted his mother, who was murdered in 1915 during th massacres in Armenia, had appeared before him in a vision and . exhorte 1 him to kill Talaat in ' revenge for Uv. massacre of 100.000 Armenians. Talaat was killed in Charlottenbur a suburb of Berlin. ancT of running a bankrupt nation, the Reichstag prefers to spend much of its time in the lob bies discussing whether or not Mat thias Erzberger is a tax dodger. Matthias .Erzberger is the one man. more than any other, Vho is respon sible for the Germans signing the Ver sailles Treaty. As a result he is hated by the group of pan-Germans which had fiad expectations of signing a rfar i different treaty, with clauses making Belgium a commercial colony of Ger many. A former Secretary of the Treasury under the Emperor. Karl Helfferich. was the leader in the move ment, to disgrace Erzberger and drive fcim. from political life. In January. 1920. while -Erzberger was Minister of Finance, his tax re-) turn certificates were stolen from the Finance Ministry; the material in them soon began., to appear in the royalistio press. Erzberger immediately ordered an investigation of his tax payments and withdrew from , the post as Minister of Finance. He left office with Noske at the time of the Kapp revolution. HIS RETURN MAY HELP ALLIES. For the past year ' Erzberger has been one . of the powers behind the cabinet and, although he lived in the strictest retirement, he has been taken intq counsel, on many of the important crises through which the government has passed. His Socia'ist and Centrum friends wish him to return to active political life and are seeking to rein state him in the cabinet. They accuse the Monarchist group of having made Erzberger the. sacrifice of a political intrigue, and by means of interpellations in the Reichstag and discussions in the lobbies are attempt in to make the Erzberger case a boomerang against the Royalists. The Centrum party cl&ima that its chief not only is not a tax-dodger, but that he overpaid his taxes and cite the court decision in evidence. Erzberger was neither fined nor ordered to pay up back taxes. The political fight over Erzberger is of the greatest importance to the Allies for the reason that if Erzberger is finally politically cleared, he will probably return to the cabinet and the Entente will have the assistance in the fulfillment of the treaty of one of the political group through whose influ ence the treaty was signed.

Charging that funds were beins used for private purposes, Senator Kenyon read a series of personal tele grams, which he said had been sent ly boar demployes at government ex pense, i Senator Kenyon estimated that the government was losing from $500,000 to $1,000,000 a day through the Ship ping Board. ."Unless these expenses can be stop ped, the American people will not stand for this thing." he said. ABOLITION URGED, y . Abolition of the boar& was proposed bv Senator Poindexter, Republican, Washington, who said he would have appointed a director and "let him liquid ate this whole business." , Senator Kenyon urged a thorough investigation of the board and was sup ported by several Senators. . The question of effect of prohibition on American shipping was raised by Senator Fletcher, Democrat, Florida. Senator Kenyon, who recently went to Europe on a Shipping Board vesst'. remarked that "from observation J know one Shipping Board ship that ii not dry." Senator Fletcher N said that, while there was "great waste" in Shipping beard employes at government ex general condemnation of a great insti tution doing -great work."

Disagreement in the House over the Borah disarma ment amendment blocked today-reference of the naval appropriation bill to conference. Representative Garrett, Tennecsee. acting Democratic leader, de clared the House conferees should be Instructed to agree to the- Borah amend ment, broadened to include invitations for disarmament negotiations with other powers besides Great Britain and Ja pan. KepuUican spokesmen contend that the conferees should be given free rein ot work out an agreement. Representative Mondell, the Republi can leader, characterized the Borah prO posal as "narrow, restricted and unsatis factory". He said the House should insist on broadening its provision. Representative Oldfleld, Democrat, Arkansas, contended that, if the Borah amendment were broadened to include land disarmament discussions, as urg ed by Mr. Garrett, both propositions might be killed. "If we can't get both we ought to take one," he said. - Republican leaders assured Democrats who favored the Brah amendment that if conferees were uninstructed, they would not have power to agree or dis agree to the proposal without bringing the proposition back to the House for a vote.

' y - An increase in thcv school tax of from 11 to SO cents for the coming year was. requested of the citv com missioners by five members of the schoql board Friday. A deficit of $30,000 ,resulting from last year's tax rate of 11 cents on a. $94,000,000 property valuation, was given as the reason for the desired in crease. The schpol tax, it was'eplain ed. . originally was 30 cents, but when property values Wjere tripled following revaluation the tax rate was reduced to li cents. Loal property va'ues will be re duced 25 per cent this year, which will cut the revenue that amount school 1 board members added. The fact that ra deficit was caused by the 11 cent tax rate on a $94,000,000 valuation indicated that th schools could not be run prop erly without the increased tax" rate. With the increase, the board will lack $4,000 of meeting" its budget for the coming year, Chairman Brent S. Drane stated. The commissioners were not certain if the tax rate could be increased such an amount owing to the situation crented by the invalidation of the muni cipal finance act. Decision was held m awaitinsr a ruling by City Attorney Claude A. Cochran, BOARD NEEDS $364,000. The budget, submitted to the commis sioners by Chairman J. L. Wolfe of the Board's finance committee, provides for the expenditure of $364,000 in the coeration of. the city schools during the next term. The city will get from the state $150,000, leaving $214,000 to be met by local taxation. The- 30 rate will lack $4,000 of raising this amount, Mr. Wolfe tojd the board. Chairman Brane who with Mr. Wolfe presented the matters before the com missioners in the presence of three other members of the board, also asked that $19. S0O be .appropriated by the city for making repairs in the schools. Ac tion on this recuest was also delayed by the commissioners. "The school board is merely asking for the reinstatement of the old tax rate." said H. P. Harding, superintend ent of school, after the conference with the commissioners. "We don not see how the schools can be run properly unies sthe increase is granted as the budget already prepared has been cut to the core." , NO DEBT PREVIOUSLY. Prior to last year' the School board hari been able to run the schools with out causing a deficit and a balance of $15,000 had been" created. The reduc- DISCARDED BLOOMS FROM WHITE HOUSE HELP HIS CHURCH theater here, brought civil action tion in revenue last year resulted in against the company for alleged breach oi contract. 'Squire Stokes awarded the plaintiff $50 of the $200 she asked for and gave an order for the execution of the judg ment. This was stayed by the defend ant appealing the case to superior court and giving bond. Misa Marion and the manager of the show and other membsrs, supplemented by several local theatrical folk-, assem bled in 'Squire Stokes' court room and furnished an interesting morning's en tertainment by their recital of episodes of theatrical life and the ins and outs of the game. Misa Marion said she was under con tract with the company for tn- sea son and that she had received notice that her services would not be needed after June 11. Her contention was that the world "season" meant the calendar periods, while the manager of the show anfl the opinion -of. several others was that it was a specified time in which a theatrical nroduction was to run. The company was to end its season in Atlanta June 11, it was testified. HEAD OF .DEAD MAN IS OFFERED IN EVIDENCE Orlando, Fla., June 3. Prosecuting Attorney Jones created a sensation to day at the trial of John R. Bryant, charged with the murder of his father, George Bryant, here, last April, when the prosecutor held before the jury a package wrapped in newspaper, saying it contained the head of the dead man and asked that it be admitted as evi dence. Women sat aghast, men looked on with eager eyes, while John R. Brxant. the defendant, nervously listened to the argument which his counsel made against the uncovering of the object. Judge Andrews ruled it was not nec essary as evidence. Mrs. Bryant did not appear in court until placed on the witness stand by the state, having been placed under oath with other witnesses.
