MR. MELLON IN TROUBLE STILL,
(By Telegraph-Press Assn.-Copyright.) Received Sunday, 7 p.m. WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.

The brief said he had illegally reduced his taxable income by fictitious security sales and other devices. Mr. Mellon immediately denied the validity of the brief and reiterated his charge that he is subject to political persecution by the present Administration
