U. 3. STRIKES BACK ATTEUTON SUBSIDY Tariff Retaliation Applied to Offset Aid Given German Rolling Milis. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. The United States Government has taken ar unprecedented step in fighting the idea of a subsidy given by producers of raw materials to the manufacturers in order to enable the latter to compete in world markets. The Treasury Department, acting under the provisions of Ames tariff law ravely applied, has orde countervailing duty on German roll ing mill products as well manu factu hereof. Consular officers of the United States have been instructed by the Secretary of State to require each invoice of such merchandise to bear a statement declaring whether a hounty certificate has been issued or will be issued on the shipment ex- ported. Reason for New Policy. The incident has its origin in the agreement reached between the Raw Steel Syndicate of Dusseldorf and the clation of Iron Consuming Indus- in Charlottenbur; ermany, whereby the member as the quantities of hown to have te, which cer- for ering mill product been exported, plus w: tificaes can be used in pay further orders of raw mate th the plants of the Steel Sy These certificates are based on iifference between the int 1l price #nd the world market price fixed for the preceding four weeks on rolling mill products. This method of enabling manufac- iurers of German goods to unde ell manufacturers in other countr Jooked upon as a step by the Ger- mans to encourage their own steel sndustry, but on the other hand, as @ move hostile to American produc- ers. n Reference to Farm Bill. It is an interesting coincidence that just this time in the American Congress there is a measure pending is | | pian Peasants’ Ancient Methods Give U. S. | Market for Fruit By the Associated Press. The market for American apples and pears in northern Europe de- pends largely on the refusal of peasants to abandon their old-fash- ioned methods of horticulture, says a report issued today by the De- artment of Agriculture. Should there be a development toward modern practice in produc- tion, preparation for marke storage, along with better distr ing and transporting facilitie report states, “‘the potential po: bilities for apple and pear produ tion are such as to make the pres- ent importation of apples from Canada and the United States eco- nomically impossibie.” It says, however, that the pres- ent generation of American apple growers need not fear that the u ropean peasant will alter his an- cient methods 1 enough o take over the ms known as the Haugen bill, whereby the farming would be financed with funds in their effol American producers in | handlinz the export | products.

SEIZED STEAMER ISSUE TAKEN UP WITH LEGATION Honduran Ship, With Liquor Car- go, Was Stopped Near Norfolk Far Off Its Course. The case of the Honduran registered steamer Juliata, now held at Norfolk by the Coast Guard, and which has aboard a considerable consignment of liquor, has been taken up with the Honduran legation here, due to the suspicious circumstances surrounding the voyage of the vessel from Cuba to Honduras. She cleared from a Cuban port recently with a “sea lat- ter” from the Honduran consul in lieu of a regular clearance, and was os- tenstbly bound presumably to Puerto Cortes, Honduras, but was captured by the Coast Guard off Norfolk, very far off its course Particular interest attaches to this steamer in official circles because of the fact that consignments ageve- MAY 21 21, 1926 SCOTT HELD SANE: FACES NEW TRIAL Chicago Murderer Must Leave Asylum and Take Chances With Jury. By the Assoclated Press CHICAO, May 21.—Russell Scott, convicted of murder and then sent to the prison for the insane, has been found sane and must face a jury again, with the gallows a possibility in the background Scott was convicted of the murder of Joseph Maurer, a 19-year-old drug clerk, in a hold-up four years ago. Attorney General Oscar Carlstrom disclosed today that a commission of State alienists, headed by Dr. Herman Adler, State criminologist, have found that Scott is now sane. No precedent for Scott’s case has that he murdered Joseph Maurer, 19- vear-old drug clerk, in a hold-up. ‘When the jury found him insane, Scott declared it was a joke, that he was as sane as any one. He was rushed to the Chester penitentiary, however, under the statutory condi- tlon that should he ever become sane he should be returned and hanged. Finding Was Withheld. Last Tuesday State alienists exam- ined the prisoner. Announcement of the finding was withheld, although the fact that the opinion was sent to Attorney General Carlstrom indicated a decision that Scott was sane. Scott once was rated as a million- aire promoter in conmnection with the proposed erection of an international bridge at Windsor, Ontarfo. According to the police, when Scott was arrested he admitted he had turned hold-up man and had com- mitted numerous robberies. Several persons have identified him and his brother, Robert, as robbers. Robert disappeared and was found lin prigon in California. He was re. turned here for trial in connection with the Maurer slaying. Russell’s sanity trial climaxed a campaign by his wife and young woman friends in Canada and club- ‘women in Detroit and elsewhere. Sev- eral thousand dollars were raised for his defense. *® 13 HINESE BANDITS FREE CAPT. BETTS American Officer Was Held Two Days in Remote Region While Traveling. I ! By the Associated Press.
