Senator Sim- mons said: , \The. Denfocrats will co-operate with the Republicans in reducing taxes on small Incomes, but we will 'not co-operate in reducing incomes of the millionaire class, nor in relieving tax burdens on those who profitesred during the war, I want the country to know, also, that the Democratic party stands for the bonus to veter- ans of the war?\ ' Senator Simmons made this an- nouncement in closing a debate in which several Democratic members chided the Republican majority for taking a holiday adjournment without having accomplished anything in the session which opened December 3. He demanded to know why the Finance Committee had not been con- vened®fo take up discussion of the tex reduction and bonus measures. A reply from Senator Smoot, chair- man of the committes, followed in which he pointed out that, as both measures ' involved the raising of revenue, the House alone had jurls- diction over their origin. The debate was started by Sona- tor Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, who Awning—George IL, King of the Helenes, who succeeded his father, King Constantine, on that monarch's abdication, has been requested by the Governm<enf to withdraw {fem Greece, temporarily at least, but whether he will be permitted to return depends upon the National Assembly.

In an official state- ment concerning its action, the Gov- ernment explains that it considered it the King to leave Greece until the National Assembly had reached a final decision respecting the regime best befitting the country. In replying to this notification, the King eal‘d In substance that he would con- form. with its suggestions, \made un- der pressure from the army and navy and the Democratic Party.\ Although the King considered he had kept aloof from politics he was anxlous that the National Assembly should be enabled to reach an unblased deck slon on the constitutional question, and was convinced that the people will express their will freely.

Hartmann and his companion had mot only burglarized the hotel safe, but, what was far more Important, had already made good their escape. . The little office was in a condition of ex- treme disorder, The safe door stood open, and the floor In front of It was littered with papers and letters of all descriptions. The latter had all been torm open and hurriedly aside. On a chair near the window sat the unfortunate night porter, blindfolded, gagged, and bound hand and foot. The proprietor strode over to him and snatched the bandages from his eyes and mouth. \Speak you scoundrel!\ he roared. \In the name of ten thou sand devila!

It looks to me as though it would be the wisest plan to send out a general alarm at onee, so that the police of the city may take steps to arrest Hartmann before he is able to get away.\ Duvall frowned at this suggestion. \I should be sorry, monsieur,\ he said, \to see that done. It would be equiva- lent to abandoning the nase alto- gether. Remember that your pro- fessional reputation is at stake.

Grace is a re- markable woman. She has a positive genius for detective work. - You re- rember how she saved the day in that Stapleton case?

Let us suppose for the mo- ment that she waited cutside, expect- ing that the latter would return. In that event, she would doubtless have witnessed the entrance of Hartmann and bis companion when they came to blow up the safe. \For all we, know, she may have followed them.
