g w% " DEFICIENCY BILL NEAR CONFERENCE Measure Carries Senate Pro- hibition and Tax Refund Hearings Amendments. By the Associated Press. Carrying with it Senate approval and | Senate amendments, the first deficiency bill today was on its way to confer- ence. Of the two principal amendments, one provided $24,000,000 for prehibition enforcement, the other would make public hearings by Treasury ‘Depart- ment committees on tax refunds in- volving more than $10,000. The fund to aid liquor law enforce- ment was voted Tuesday, but the tax refund amendment was not approved | until late yesterday, only a short time before the Senate roll call on the de- | ficiency bill. It was a compromise from | an amendment offered by Senator Mc- Kellar of Tennessee, which would have taken the refund cases involving more than $10,000 from the Bureau of In- ternal Revenue and would have turned them over to the Board of Tax Appeals. Mellon Opposed Amendments. Secretary Mellon opposed the $24,000,- 000 addition for enforcement and he was also against McKellar's first pro- posed amendment. In addition, a num- ber of the Tennesseean’s colleagues dis- agreed with him, most of them declar- ing that it would put too much work on the Board of Tax Appeals. McKel- lar then amended his proposal to make the tax refund hearings public, and an agreement was quickly reached. Throughout the debate on the original McKellar proposal there was criticism of the present system of tax refunding. Couzens of Michigan contended that the Treasury should first assert the claims, then make the testimony and documents in the case public and afterward ask Congress to appropriate the necessary funds. Norris Assails Tax Plan. Senator Norris of Nebraska, assailed what he termed the secret handling of tax chses, declaring it was detrimental to 12 public interest. if th: rmendments to the deficiency bill are :-proved by the House, the measure go s to the President. He has not indicated his attitude toward it, but differences of opinion in the House on the addition for prohibition enforce- ment have already developed. The deficiency bill as finally passed by the Senate carried $136,178,112, in comparison with $84,130,030 as approved by the House. Both the Senate and House approved the provision calling for $75,000,000 to be expended in tax refunds. An amendment appropriating $8,400,- 000 for the new House Office Building, to be erected on the south side of the Capitol, was the largest item of interest to Washington in the bill, which passed the Senate late yesterday and went to conference. The proposed structure is to be in addition to the present House Office Building, in which members are crowded for office space. The deficiency measure also provides money to obtain an architect’s model of the new United States Supreme Court Building, to be put up on the east front of the Capitol, and funds for a similar model of the entire Federal building plan for the Pennsylvania ave- nue-Mall triangle, A number of other local items to meet urgent requirements of the District Government and various Federal de- partments for the balance of this fiscal year also are carried in this bill.

A proposal to permit the mailing of newspapers publishing a certain class of matter relating to lotteries was made yesterday in a bill introduced by Repre- sentative McMillan, Democrat, South Carolina, Under the measure, newspapers would be mailable if the matter related to a lottery or gift enterprise conducted by a bona fide business, a religious or a charitable organization. It also would permit the handling of such matter in the mails if its circulation was con- fined to one State, or if such mailing ‘was lawful under the laws of a State. LETS AIR MAIL CONTRACT.

Clark Is Confirmed. ‘The nomination of J. Reuben Clark of Utah to be Undersecretary of State Waa copflimed yesterdi by, the Senatu Radio First Carried Ship’s Distress Call Twenty Years Ago By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 24.— Twenty years ago yesterday another steamer named the Florida figured in the first sea tragedy in which a major part was played by the then still novel wonder—radio. In that tragedy, Jack Binns, a youthful veteran of the new call- ing of marine wireless operator, won fame that still attaches to his name and by sticking to his post in face of danger established a tradition since upheld by count- less other wireless men. The White Star liner Republic, with Binns as its only wireless operator, was off Nantucket on the start of a Mediterranean cruise, with its 461 passengers sleeping in their berths, when the Lloyd Italiano liner Florida, carrying 300 passengers, loomed out of a fog and rammed her prow into the Republic's engine room, killing six persons. Binns, in the Republic's wire- less room. was taking a message from a land station. He cut in with the distress call of the day, “cQD"” As soon as Binns had given his distress call there began the bacome so well known since. Half a dozen ships turned from their courses to go to the Re- public’s aid and Bins guided them. The Baltic was the first to reach the scene and took aboard passengers of both ships and the crew of the Republic, which sank. CHINOOK, BYRD’S DOG, VANISHES IN "ICE IN SOUTH POLE AREA (Continued From First Page.) dop knew that he had reached the limit of his strength, that he could no longer keep up with the younger dogs, and felt that he might as well go away and die? Return Unlikely. He went back to the camp and wan- dered around there disconsolately for a time. Several men saw him and spoke to him. And then he disappear- ed, wandering off into the loneliest wilderness known to man. There is a bare possibility that he may come back, for dogs have gone away down here for many days and returned, but Chi- nook’s age and training and his fond- ness for Walden makes this seem un- likely. It is more probable that a deep crevasse or a mound of snow out on the rier hides Chinook, and that he died as Walden said, “With his boots on,” working until he could work no more and then quietly slipping away to die alone.

NEW DISCOVERY AIDS SLEEP SICKNESS STUDY Methods of Growing Germs An- nounced by University of California Scientists. By the Associated Press. BERKELEY, Calif,, January 24.—The University of California announced yes- terday that methods of producing the germ of sleeping sickness have been discovered by Dr. A. J. Salle, in- structor in bacteriology, and Dr. C. L. A. Schmidt, chairman of the department of biochemistry. The importance of the discovery lies in the fact that the germs may now be incubated in sufficient numbers to enable study outside the body of the disease they cause. Drs. Salle and Schmidt attribute their success to the use of hemoglobin; or washed red blood cells, in the culture media in which the germs were grown. SIX-MONTH SENTENCE FOR ILLEGAL PRACTICE Self-Styled Professor Pleads Guilty on Medical License Charge.

Clarke, whose trial by court-martial at Fort Benning, Ga., has been under way intermittently for two months, were sought today at Walter Reed Hospital i Washington, D. C. Meanwhile, the office of judge advo- cate at Fort Benning, afnounced that the trial was in adjournment until next Tuesday. Capt.

JANUARY 24, 1999, SENATE GIVES AID 10 CONDEMNATIGN Passes Bill to Improve Pro- cedure for District to Obtain Property. The Senate this afternoon passed a bill to improve the procedure by which the District Commissioners condemn land for schoolhouses and other local purposes, but a similar bill to expedite condemnation of land for the various Federal improvements planned for the National Capital had to be postponed for consideration at a later date. The Senate was considering the cal- endar under the unanimous consent rule, and when the Federal condemna- tion bill was reached Senator Caraway, Democrat, of Arkansas, objected to its consideration today. The purpose of the Federal condemnation bill is to eliminate delay in acquiring property for governmental purposes under ex- isting law, by enabling the Govern- ment to obtain immediate possession when the condemnation proceeding begins. The bill provides that the Govern- ment would place an estimated value on the land acquired and pay that amount to the owners at the beginning of the proceeding. ‘The balance would be paid with interest after the court had made its award. This measure, which passed the House at the last session, is regarded by officials as important, in view of the plans of the Federal Government for new buildings and other improvements in Washington. The District of Columbia condemna- tion bill, which the Senate agreed to and sent to the House today would abolish the commission form of con- demnation case and substitute a hear- ing before a jury, where delays would be eliminated by having a judgs pres- ent to pass promptly upon the legal questions raised. At the present time the condemnation commission is re- quired to postpone its deliberations while legal issues are referred to the court for opinion. This local con- demnation bill does not contain the provision for obtaining immediate pos- session when the proceedings begin, as is contemplated by the proposed Fed- eral measure. The bill which the Senate passed is an entirely separate proposition from the Federal condem- nation bill. | | | 32 SAVED AT SEA BY CAPT. FRIED IN RAGING STORM From First Page.) and her fate when it became known that the American tanker Dannedalke, which also had asked for aid near where the Italian ship was foundering, had surmounted her difficulties. While pushing on toward the Florida, the America's radio advised land sta- tions yesterday that the Dannedaike’s crew had rigged a jury rudder and were seeking shelter at Bermuda. The America’s feat in locating the Florida and taking off the crew of the sinking vessel was emphasized by the fact that two other ships nearer at hand had been unable to locate her. The Dollar liner President Harrison, ending a world cruise, found herself running short of fuel oil while she sought for the Florida. The German freighter Yorck, which also had hurried toward the stricken ship when the ap- peal for help was sounded, reported smrchmieight hours before abandoning the quest Forced to Swin.

He is the chief engineer, vgjm has a broken leg and fractured ribs. A cheerful message from the captain of the Dannedaike to his line’s owner, Charles Kruze & Co. of Philadelphia, last night indicated that the ship was out of danger and making progress toward Bermuda. ‘The message, which was received by the line's offices here, said: “Now limping toward Bermuda.

FARM FRIENDS ASK HIGHER TARIFF BAR | Selvig Opens Drive in Housei Committee Hearing—Many Due to Testify.

F. Davis of Denver, representing the Stock Growers’ Association, said. Davis' proposal would call for apply ing the duties to the Philippines, whos: imports are now duty free. He also urged increases on oleo oil to 3.7 cents, against 1 cent; oleo stearin to 4.5 cents, against 1 cent, and on tallow to 3 cents, against 15 cent. J. 8. Montgomery, Minnesota, general manager of the Central Co-operative Association of South St. Paul, Minn,, in urging increased cattle and meat du- ties, declared if the embargo against Argentina were raised they could un- dersell domestic producers in the New York market from $6 to $8 per hun- dredweight on beef cattle. V. K. Houston, Delegate to Washing- ton from Hawaii, urged an increase of 1 cent in the present duty of 2 cents a pound on canned pineapples. This, he with other canned fruit. 150 Witnesses Listed. The committee, which at the outset of the hearings, announced that in re- adjusting tariff rates particular atten- tion would be given farm products, had listed 150 witnesses for appearance in the three days it set aside for the sec- tion of the Fordney-McCumber act dealing with agriculture commoditics. To hear all of these witnesses today, tomorrow and Monday. was regarded by committee men as an impossibilty, due to the number of items to be covered wnd the necessity for cross-examination. They had predicted, therefore, that saturday, which originally was planned as an off-day throughout the hearings, but has yet to be passed, would be deveted to business. Some Products Already Touched. Several farm products already had been touched upon during the hear- ings on the first six schedules of the law. Committeemen predicted some opposition would develop, chiefly from importers, but the majority of the wit- nesses were expected to combine for higher duties. Several House members were among the witnesses scheduled to appear, as well as growers, retail dealers, chain store and wholesale dealers, tarm or- ganization representatives, packers and scores of individuals interester in vari- ous phases of agriculture, WILL PROBE .VOTE COUNT.

ABRAM SIMO! PLATT AMENDMENT HELD IN DANGER Cuban Diplomat Says High Sugar Duties May Kill Intervention Law. By the Associated Press. The possibility of Cuban repeal of the Platt amendment to the Cuban constitution in case American tariff schedules on sugar were raised to the point of crippling that country's trade with the United States is foreseen as a possibility by Ambassador Ferrara of Cuba. The Platt amendment authorizes American intervention in the island in case that country's stability ever is threatened. Asked to comment on the hearings now being held by the House ways and means committee as to a possible in- crease in sugar tariff schedules, the Cuban Ambassador said that it would be an anachronism to cripple economic relations between the United States and Cuba “while a treaty is in ex- istence which binds us so intimately together politically. Americans Invest $800,000,000 “As far as Cuba is concerned,” the Ambassador declared, “we have always fulfilled all our obligations under the political treaty. We have always main- tained a state of growing friendship and good will toward the United States. We have always followed all of the United States’ international attitudes with the greatest sympathy. This, of course, we will continue to do, because we cannot forget the ties that bind us both in the political and the moral fleld.” Dr. Ferrara said that in opposing in- creases in sugar tariffs the Cuban government is really defending the rights of American citizens who have invested over $800,000,000 in Cuban sugar. Cites Comparative Duty. “Cuba, which pays more to its workers,” he sald, “must sell its products at a price half of that of Philippine, Porto Rican and Hawailan sugar.” Dr. Ferrara emphasized that when Cuba accepted the Platt amendment. the promise of economic co-operation given by Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt and by former Secretary of State Elihu Root mever permitted the possibility to be envisioned that Cuba would pay to the United States $150,000,000 annually in customs dues, or 65 per cent of their value, while the United States only pays to Cuba $24,000,000, or only 16 per cent of the value of its imports into the island.
