Three men are waiting to die for their part in the robber: the murder of J. | traffic policeman, and the wounding of two other persons. A fourth man, Tony Bonello, is serving a life sentence in the Missouri penitentiary. The men under sentences of death for murder are John Messino, Tony Mangiaracina and Carl Nasello. Sammy Stein, accused as the actual slayer of the policeman, has never been captured. Nagle was not an actual participant in the robbery and the bullet-protected escape through streets crowded with delegates and spectators on their way to the morning session of the Republi- can convention June 14. But the State contended that he was a conspirator in the hold-up. The State virtually waived the death sentence when it failed to qualify the jurors on it. The jury Teceived the case last night.

Opponents, led by other committee Republicans, and a group of Michigan Representatives, argued that the higher duty would increase the price of al- cohol more than 20 cents a gallon and result in no benefit to the corn farmer because manufacturers could not afford to make alcohol at the present price of corn Blackstrap, a waste product of sugar, comes principally from Cuba. Used in Making Lacquer. In offering the committee amendment, Representative Timberlake of Colorado said it was the opinion of the committee that the little more than 2 cents it originally had proposed would serve only to increase the price of alcohol and be of no benefit to the farmer. He added that Henry Ford had claimed it would add $1,000,000 a year to his production costs. Blackstrap is used in the manufacture of lacquer. Representative Cole, Republican, of Jowa. advocate of the 8-cent proposal, inquired if such an increase was too much for Mr. Ford to pay. During the discussion, Representa- time Michener, Republican, of Michi- gan, declared he thought Hull's pro- posal was not to help the farmer, but to open the distilleries of the country, now closed down. Hull denied the charge and Michener said if he had made a mistake he was sorry. An attempt by Representative La Guardia, Republican, of New York, to change the committee amendment to reduce the proposed increase duty on sugar was blocked by a point of order, the chair sustaining Chairman Hawley in his contention that the proposal was not germane to the committee pro- posal. Earlier in the day, La Guardia, in opposing a committee amendment in- creasing by 3 cents the 2 cents a pound duty on figs, appealed to those dissatisfied with the sugar duty and other rates to join him in an effort to amend the sugar schedule by forcing the reading of the entire bill. The fig duty amendment, along with another raising the rate on preserved figs to 40 per cent from 35, was ap- proved. Others adopted would: Increase the rate of 45 per cent to| 80 _per cent on unbleached spun silk. Decrease the proposed rates of 70 and 75 per cent to 60 per cent on silk vel- vet_ribbons. Restore the protection to rayon man- ufacturers accorded by existing law and which the pending bill had re- duced. Representative Chindblom of Iilinois, who headed the subcommittee that re- vised the silk schedule, declared the committee started out to make sharp cuts in rayon rates but found prices were generally on the decline and thought manufacturers should not be subjected to drastic reductions in duties, The average protection in the present law was around 52.7 per cent on rayon products, he said, while the pending bill would have reduced this to 4527 per cent. The amendment, he ex- plained, merely brought the rayon duties back to the present level. He said the rates as amended would ben- | efit chiefly the small manufacturers, La Guardia Opposes, As the day wore on committee amend- ments were adopted in rapid order, but those in charge of the bill struck op- position in proposing an amendment to raise the existing duty on white pota- toes by 25 cents per 100 pounds to 75 cents. The amednment was approved by the overwhelming vote of 87 to 3, but over | the vigorous protest of Representative La Guardia, Republican, of New York, who described it as “lousy larceny,” and predicted its defeat in the Senate Representative Jenkins, Republican, | of Ohio, also opposed the amendment, declaring the growers in his section were dependent on Canadian seed *po- tatoes at existing prices. Representatives Beedy and Nelson, Republicans, of Maine, supported the amendment, declaring that while im- ports of Canadian potatoes were small compared to domestic production, they were sufficient to unstabilize New Eng- land markets and injure Maine growers. | Speaker Longworth, who was walk- | ing around looking for a seat as the vote was taken, was counted as the third member voting against the po- tato amendment, but he said afterward he did not intend to oppose it. La Guardia and Jenkins voted against it. | Other amendments adopted placed on the free list posts, now dutiable at 10 per cent. and glass mosaics which are works of art, now dutiable at 60 per cent Savory Radiant Toasters For Every Requirement Hull ‘was supported by Republicans | s “ps” Single Slice Capacity 200 slices “pp” Double Slice Capacity 400 slices per hour ly 720 slices per hour Cozy Boudoir Armchair $7.95 Savory Radiant Toasters will give an unfaltering service in the large hotel or the small lunchroom.
