At the time of the landing the mercury wae only 10 degrees beiow zero, the mildest weather for this se.son of the year in the history of the ‘trading post.

The next thought of the airmen was to express thanks to the unfor- tunate dog whose howls caused them to descend.

The Ball bill designed to aid ten- ants threatened with eviction by landlords in the District of Colum- bia was called up in the Senate this afternoon by Seuator Borah of Idaho, chairman of a subcommittee of the Judiciary committee in charge of the measure. The bill as reported by the commit- tee provides a new system of obtain- ing possession of property which has been leased. It calls for a five-day notice to quit and for a five-day no- tice before a nt can be ob- tained. Senator Borah offered an amendment which would axempt from the opera- tion the pi W tenasnts who have tendered their rent in ac- cordance with decisions of the rent as to fair and reasomable rental. ator Sterling of South Dakota suggested that if the amendment were sdopted bonifide owners of property seeking to obtain posseasion of houses for their own occupancy might be prevented from obtaining possession. He pointed out that under the reamt ‘made of ‘who desired to regain it for t| |rc=|’n u Mnmr' J"‘:‘ l-‘ of Minnesots, chair- 'man of ary committee, con- tended that the Borah amendment ap- plied only to cases where an incfease in rent was demandéd, and that an Of property seeking' to obtaim possession of it would still be safe- .,‘F"'"‘ under the rent commission (From the New York W Left to rights Selifanerna (fostér mothe: Furman, 1d.)

She died almost instantly. Edward Vincent Killeen, thirty-six years old, is said to have fired the shot which Kkilled . Mrs. Harris. . The shooting, which is said to have been accidental, occurred about 11 o'clock last night, when the members of two parties which had been din- ing at the hotel met near the door- way. Killeen met Burnett W. Tan ner. a chauffeur, on the porch and is said to have begun quarrelling with him over some minor subject. He drew a revolver, and the weapon ex- )ploded just as Mrs. Harris walked ‘Detween the two men, the bullet pass- tireif ing through the woman’'s hand and penetrating her brez:tmear the heart. Machine Hits Steme Wall, After the shooting Killeen, with his |, two dinner companions, who gave their names as Mrs. Evelyn Jean La Rue and Mrs. Bessic Chapman, got into Killeen's roadster and started toward town. They only reached the end of Cabin John bridge when e machine swerved and crashed against the stone wall. Kllleen was cat and bruised and the women suf- fered minor injuries, all of them re- turning to the hotel about the time Mrs. Harrig® body had been taken to an upper reom, where her compan- ions were administering first aiq treatment. Clyde Amer, a friend of Tanner, placed Mrs. Harris' body in his auto- mobile, and with his companions sped to Georgetown Hospital, where Mrs. Harris was pronounced dead. The car was accompanied to the hospital by Bicycle Policeman Bohrer, who intercepted it en route and later de. tained Amer and Tanner, with Mrs. Ruth Beatrice Ludwig, 1226 15th street, and Sergt. J. N. Lorimer, U. S. A., as material witnesses. Killeen Found at Hotel. Detectives from headquarters had been notified in the meantime and_they went to where_they fof Killeen. Mrs. La Rue and Mrs. Chap- man. They were taken to Georgetown Hospital, treated for the injuries re- ceived in the automobile accident, and detained at police headquarters until Montgomery.. Md., officials, In_ whose Jurisdiction the trouble occurred, could be_summoned. Members of the party later were taken o Rockville, Md., where an inquest will be heid probably today. Two colored witnesses at the hotel have been summoned to appear at the inquest. Police Court records show that Kil- leen was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon the night of May 12, 1919, it being alleged that he shot Jack Best in the leg while in 2 pool- room at 405 10th street. The charge was nolle prossed several months later. ——— PLANS FOR INTRODUCTION OF TARIFF BILL OUTLINED Plans for the introduction of a new {republican tariff bill, soon after the {convening of the extra.session of Con- gress President-elect Harding is ex- pected to call in March, were an- nounced today by Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee. Mr. Fordney said it was proposed to continue hearings on tariff ques- tions with only brief interruptions until all interests had been given an opportunity to lay their views before e committee. ‘Tomorrow the committee will begin formal aonslderath:r of schedule A of the Underwood tariff act, embrachig chemicals, oils and paints. More than |two score witnesses are to be heard at that time, and their assignment indi- cates that the committee will attempt to hold testimony to a minimum. Few of the witnesses are to be allowed more than ten minutes each. Where a group of interests or an organiza- tion cant be represented by a single spokesman more time will be grauted.
