M » May 12.—()—A military court was called today to in- quire into action of a mob which Pri- day night fired the court house, killed @ negro who had attacked a white woman, and then destroyed three blocks of property in the negro sec- tion. Col. Lawrence E. McGee, command- ing officer of National Guardsmen who took charge of the city Saturday night under Gov. Dan Moody's mar- {tial law proclamation, said he would {leave nothing undone to “get at the bottom” of the occurrences. Sixteen men were held awaiting ac- | tion of this court.

TARIF CONFEREES SEEK COMPROMISE INDEBENTURE ROW Senator Declares Effort to Elim- inate Item Will Be Contested ‘Washington, May 12—(4)—The senate-house tariff conferees will make another attempt tomorrow or Wednesday to reach a compromise agreement in their dispute over whether the flexible provisions of the Smoot-Hawley bill shall continue or revoke the president’s authority to make emergency import - duty changes. ‘This question has produced a wide variance of opinion among Republi- can conferees. The house bill would have the president’ retain his power to increase or lower rates by one-fifth per cent, while under the senate measure, this authority would be tak- en over by congress. Over the objection of President Hoover, the senate plan was written into the bill by the coalition of Dem- ocrats and Independent Republicans, when it was in control of the tariff situation. With an historic phrase, Senator Connally, Democrat, Texas, last night served warning that any éffort to eliminate the senate provision would be determinedly contested. “Wepropseto fight it out if it takes all summer,” he said. “The senate amendment restoring to congress the tariff-making power is absolutely fundamental. If the tariff bill passes, \it must restore to the representatives of the people the right to make laws that govern them.” Administration leaders, he contin- ued, are determined to kill the senate amendment andtheir “grandstrategy” is then to “hammer through the high schedules of the bill.” The sugar. schedule again’ came to the front over the week-end with ef- forts to reopen “it by. a concurrent resolution for the purpose of correct- ing an alleged error in calculating’ the duty on the refined product.

Haji of Turangzai Threatens to | Lead Well Equipped Army | Against Government Bombay, Indie, May 12.—(#—The first great raid on a salt depot by Mahatma Gandhi's followers occurred today at Shiroda. -Police swooped down on the Hindu raiders, caught them in the act and arrested about one hundred. The news of the whole- sale arrests was communicated to Bombay this evening by the Maharas- tra Satygraha (civil disobedience) committee. The government’s abortive action followed Tyabji’s refusal to call off the proposed raid after repeated warnings by government officials. Command of the forces of “passive resistance” immediately was taken over by Mrs. Saironji Naidu, Hindu Poetess, selected by the Mahatma to automatically succeed as leader. The seizure of Tyabji coincided with government plans for a tightening of control of the entire Indian situation. Increase Shodapur Guard While the arrested leader and his cohorts were being transferred to the Jail just outside of Navasari, the civil authorities in Sholapur announced two more military detachments had been sent from Poona to complete military control of that disturbed community. Almost simultaneously the British authorities in the Gujerat district sent a final notification to the Haji of Turangzai, serving notice upon him to,remove with his followers with all from the vicinity of the recent- ly embattled Peshawar. At Shodapur the order prohibiting assembly of more than five persons seems to have been obeyed only when the troops are in sight. Troops yes- terday surprised an asset of over 5,000 gathering stones for mis- siles. Five car-loads of armed sol- diers appeared and the mob scattered. Feeling Runs High Dispatches from Sholapur indicated that feeling against the authorities was running high and that the par- j tisans of the civil disobedience cam- paign were too numerous to be handled by forces already stationed in the mill city. Hand-written posters, purporting to come from the Haji's followers and headed “a message of hope,” were found posted in mosques and bazaars of Peshawar. They assure the citizens the Haji possesses large numbers of machine guns, other arms and airplanes, and that followers swarmed around him like locusts. The posters also stated an attack soon would be made by way of Shab- hadar and Mardan, and told the cit- izens if any delay occurred it was not to be regarded as surrender. Peshawar was quiet today.

The of- ficers suddenly emerged from their hiding place and opened fire. One of the robbers darted into the bedroom where Hayes was hiding. Apparently thinking Hayes was another officer, the robber shot him, and then him- self was shot as he turned back. One of the slain robbers was iden- tified by fingerprints as Harry White, 38, alleged killer and robber. The other was identified by Mrs. Hayes @s a man who formerly had worked \ for her husband.

PHEASANT SHOOTER FINED ON VIOLATION Izaak Walton League Pays $50 Reward to Complaining Witness in Case Philip Ehli was fined $25 and as- sessed the costs of the case by R. H.

The interest of the league lay in making an example to deter others from shooting the birds the league is buying and stocking the state with.

ECONOMIC ENEMIES OF FARMER FLAY ED BY SAM THOMPSON Agriculture Is Called to Fight Forces Seeking Riddance of Relief Policy Chicago, May 12.—()—The cham- | ber of commerce of the United States and grain exchanges which have at- tacked the agricultural marketing act are assailed today by Sam H. Thomp- son, president of the American farm bureau federation, in a letter calling upon all members to fight what he termed “our economic enemies.” Terming the various steps against the operation of the act “a serious challenge to organized agriculture,” Thompson wrote: “This law represents the result of seven years of toil, sacrifice and bit- ter battle on the part of the farm People of this country. It is the first step in the adoption of a national policy that will enable farm People to live and earn on the same basis as the other economic groups of the country.” Open War Declared Remarking that the act seeks to Promote effective merchandising of| agricultural commodities and to en- courage producer-owned and con- trolled cooperative marketing enter- prises, he continued: “But, already, great speculative groups that year by year have profited at the expense of agriculture through fluctuations in the price of the produce of the farm, see the|a handwriting on the wall. They have jOpenly and definitely declared war on this policy. “It is up to the organized farmers of the nation whether this policy shall stand or whether it shall be de- stroyed.” Urged to Warn Solons Calling upon officers of the feder- ation’s 1,837 county units to “set the machinery in motion,” he urged: “See to it that your representatives in congress be not confused; that they know beyond misunderstanding that the declared policy of the agri- cultural marketing act parallels the demand of American agricu!ture; that if amendment is made to this act, they know it must be an amend- ment designed to further facilitate the carrying out of the policy and not | an amendment which will in any way hamper or obstruet this work.” Phil Wooledge Is May Festival Tennis King Fargo, N.

Concluding an hour's explanation o( the pact, the secretary of state ham- mered the committee table as he de- clared the treaty achieved British- American parity in fact as well as in name. With Stimson’s cross examination reserved until tomorrow, the commit- tee adjourned its public hearing and then at a closed session decided to call all of the high ranking naval officers who constitute the navy gen- eral board. This indicated a broadening of the hearing program. The general board members, as well as the admirals who advised the American delegation in London, will be asked not whether the treaty really insures British-American equality, but what the new arrangement with Japan will mean in technical terms, Appearing as the committee's ‘first witness at a public session, the secre- tary related he and his colleagues of the American delegation to London were in agreement on all major sub- jects and did their work without in- structions or interference from Presi- dent Hoover. He had been explaining the pact section by section. for more than an- hour before. the. first indication of hostility interrupted. him. Senator Johnson, Republican, California, who has said he wants. several things about the treaty . fully investigated, | asked whether. the time had come for questions. Mr. Stimson replied he had not yet completed. his statement. He still was on.the stand when the committee adjourned.until tomorrow. U. S. Delegation Agreed Speaking. slowly. and. evenly, while the committee. listened silently, Stim- son said on “every. major question” there was unanimous agreement in the American. delegation.. Only on “minor technical questions,” he said, did differences appear. Reviewing .disarmament steps in Past years, the secretary said the 1921-Washington agreement related “only to the category in which we did all the sacrificing” (capital ships) and to aircraft catriers, still experi- mental. Limitations of ai categories then was found impossible. “I am citing this just to show the conditions standing in the way of get- ting the naval powers to an agree- ment on restricting their navies,” said Stimson. Recalls Old Treaty The secretary likewise went into details about the limitation treaty between Chile and Argentina, nego- tiated years ago. He said it had been 5 stabilizing influence in South Amer- ica. “More important than reduction,” he said, “is the influence of such trea- ties on the will to pease. It’s a bene: icent circle working from limita- tions to confidence and from confi- dence back to further limitations. He considered the treaty, he said, “fair agreement,” giving assurance that Great Britain is not building against the American navy. Chairman Borah expected the hearings, held in open session, to be concluded within a week or 10 days, with a report to the senate following immediately. Senate leaders have given assurance it will be taken up at once and have predicted a mini- mum of two weeks of debate for a vote is reached.
