age DEBATE ON TARIFF IS DELAYED AS FINANCE GROUP STILL WORKS House Measure Is Submtited to Democratic Committee- men for Consideration LAY PLANS FOR CONTESTS Cuban Raw Sugar, Raw Wool and Auto Rates Reduc- tions Are Approved Washington, August 19.—(#)—The house tariff bill, carrying hundreds of rate changes approved by the 11 Republican members of the senate finance committee, moved another step in its long legislative journey today with its submission to the eight | SINKS SPANISH SHIP Democratic committeemen for their consideration. The partially revised measure will not be made public, however, until tomorrow. Debate on the bill was to have begun today in the senate under the two months’ recess agreement reached June 19, but the finance group was delayed in its work and will require another week or more to rewrite the administration provisions before re- porting the measure. Under an agreement betwen party leaders, ac- tual debate will not start until Sep- tember 4. Meanwhile, the Democratic com- mittee members, who were excluded from the committee room after a month of pulic hearings in compli- ance. with the custom whereby the party in power works alone in actual tariff rate-making, will compare the committee rates with those approved by the house and lay plans for the long floor contests ahead. Committee to Complete Job The administrative provisions, em- bracing the flexible tariff clause and other sections of controversial as the rates themselves, are to be completed by the committee majority in another week. Then the entire senatorial membership will be given an oppor- tunity to study the whole bill, as re- written, before the debate begins in September. ‘Among the important changes in rates approved by the finance ma- rity are: ges of the house tariff on Cuban raw sugar from 240 cents a pound to 2.20 cents. The present rate is 1.76 cents. Elimination of the three-cent in- crease voted by the house in the duty on raw wool, leaving it at 31 cents a pound. Increases in the house duties on wool wastes, cotton textiles, agricul- tural products. Reduce Auto Rates Reduction of the present rate on automobiles and trucks and buses of the lighter type. The house did \not hange this duty. ‘ ‘Restoration to the free list of shingles and cedar lumber, which the house made dutiable, and the trans- fer to the free list of manganese ore ‘and logs, existing rates on which were not disturbed by the house. Increases in the house leather duties and retention of the proposed duties on hides and shoes, all of which are now admitted free except @ few kinds of leather.

The King’s Cross, badly dam- aged, picked up the remaining mem- bers of the crew. The Ogono was struck amidships and sank in six minutes, the crew of 25 having no time to launch its boats. The King’s Cross, after the Agono went down, picked up eight members of the crew, who clung to a lifeboat, and two others struggling in the water. The drowned included the ship's captain and all officers with the ex- ception of Second Mate Ugalda. The survivors were landed by the King’s Cross at Grimsby. The King's Cross bow was badly damaged. Second Mate Ugalda said after the collision occurred he went with others to try to launch the starboard lifeboat but dived overboard when he realized the effort was hopeless. He and others gathered about one of the Ogono’s upturned lifeboats and clung to it until 1-scued. “I saw the captain diving into the {sea but that was the last I saw or heard “of him,” said the mate. “The andj scene was terrible.

High Advertising Is Blamed for Charges —_ Nice, France.—(?)}—The high cost of living for tourists on the Riviera is due to the high cost of local adver- tising, according to a statement issued by an important group of bus- inéss men. The statement came in answer to a general newspaper charge that high prices were killing the tourist trade. “Advortising prices are fantastic,” the statement reads. ‘In order to reach Anglo-Saxon readers of one local paper, which has a total circu- lation of less than 50,000, we are forced to pay from $1.75 to $2.60 a line in the daily half page of social news. ‘ “We pay from $25 to $40 for each picture we ask this paper to print, though most of these pictures have news value and are eventually sold to British and American picture agencies. “One restaurant proprietor esti- mates that he spent 35 cents in lo- cal advertising for each Anglo-Saxon who visited his establishment this season.” A local fortnightly four-page paper of doubtful reputation holds the Riviera record. It sells for one penny, never has a circulation great- er than 2,500, but is filled with ad- vertising at $1 a line.
