SUBARCHEF TEM | [—_rerss von sowso- o] - FOR TARIFF FIGHT Seen as Keystone of Senate’s Controversy on New Schedules. BY MARK SULLIVAN. On the scheduled list'of hearings by the Senate finance committee this week 18 one of the most controversial items in the tariff, namely, sugar. The here- tofore existing rate In sugar is 2.20 | cents a pound against the world and 1.76 cents & st Cuba. “The new bill 2s written in the House raises these figures to 3 cents and 240 cents, re- spectively. Sugar is in & sense the keystone of ! the present tariff revision. It is said, | whether accurately or not, that in the negotiations and compromises preced- ing the enactment of the bill by the House the group of Representatives de- siring a duty on sugar were the most successful in getting what they wanted. In another and more important sense sugar will be the keystone of the tariff fight in the Senate. The line-up of that fight is mainly between farm spokesmen and Senators representing ' manufacturing communities. Sugar Tanks as a farm commodity. 1t is true | that sugar is listed in the tariff as a separate schedule, and not among “agricultural products.” Nevertheless, | in the popular sense, beet sugar is | thought of as a farm commodity. As! such it is the hole in the armor of the | farm Senators. from South and West who are advocating lower rates on Lieut. Harold Bromley inspecting the powerful motor of the plane in which | he plans to attempt a non-stop flight from Takoma, Wash., to Tokio. plane is nearing completion in California. s The mono- | —Associated Press Photo. | DAWES' DRY STAND manufactured goods. Sees Disadvantage. If the Senators who speak for farm- | ¢t ers stand by the high rates fixed by | the House bill on sugar, they will be se- | riously hlndlurped in fighting against | rates on manufactures which are rela- | tively no higher or not as high as those |- on sugar. They will be at a disad- vantage in the Senate and before the country. When Senator Borah of Idaho and Senator King of Utah began their almost successful fight to restrict the rr?nent tariff revision to farm commod- ties only, the instant response of the instant ~resourcefulness | and efle:uv;: mh mllnd of the arts of argumentation, hurled the word “sugar” at the farm Senators with the Iorg-ol & da epithet. arm Senators will be at a simi- 1.}'3..4;.;:# before the public.

Shoes Can Be | Dry Law Action “at His Discretion,” | Aml r Dawes or any other American diplomat abroad might take t6 dry up his em- bassy was entirely within his own dis- *""The ‘question of servidg intoxicating ques of serv beverages in American mrulonl in for- egn countries has long been a debated one and many letters of inquiry have been received at the State Department from dry-law advocates on the subject. Charles Evans Hughes, when Secre- tary of State, stated in a letter to a United States Senator that he consid- ered the privilege of liquors being served in American missions abroad to be one | within the rights of the diplomats. Hughes’ View Quoted: Mr. Hughes argued that the Volstead | m“.l did n;aoz prolhlblltl the ml.r ag: mu‘:uJ cating liquors legally acquired. Since | the liquors which are served in Amer- | ican embassies and legations are legally | uired. their use, he contended, could | not rightfully be prohibited by this Gov- ernment. ‘The State Department in responding to letters from private individuals since | that time has followed a similar. trend. | ‘The department also has ted to the case of the Cunard Steamship Co.,| Ltd., vs. Mellon, in 1923, in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that the term “territory” in the phrase of the dry act meant “the region- al areas—of land and adjacens waters —over which the United States claims and exercises dominion and control as & sovereign power.” Department Accepts Ruling. ‘The depariment has believed this ruling and subsequent ruling appeared to dispose of the question of applying| the dry measures beyond the territorial limits of the United States. No information on the matter has been received by the department from Mr. Dawes. So far as is known here officially, this would be the first in- stance in which an American diplomat abroad had decided to not serve any intoxicating beverages in his mission. 1t was emphasized, however, that some diplomats might have foregone their where before that, «nd I see 1o reason list, | be reappointed for a second term or privilege without having made public announcement of their action.

HAMMOND ENDS FOUR-YEAR MILITIA TERM Question of Reappointment by President Is Watched by Army Circles Here. Ma). ‘Gen. Creed C. Hammond, chief of the Militia Bureau, War Department, will complete his four-year term in that | office this afternoon. Army circles are interested in the President’s action in his case, as it involves the question of whether the existing policy of rotation in bureau offices of the Army, filled by detail from the Regular Army, will be applied to a bureau of the War De- partment, filled by a special provision of law by appointment from the Na- tional Guard. The authorities are si- lent as to whether Gen. Hammond will whether he will be succeeded in office by some other officer of the National Guard. Gen. Hammond is a native of Oregon and was a colonel in the Coast Artillery Corps of the Oregon National Guard from July, 1917, to April, 1919. Since then he has served in the Coast Ar- tillery and Infantry of the Officers’ Re- serve Corps, most of the time on active duty in the military establishment, until h's appointment as chief of the Militia Bureau, with the rank of major gen- eral, tn June, 1925. In addition to his services during the World War, he served in the War of 1898, first as & corporal in the 22pd U. 8. Infantry, and later as first safpeant in the 1st Ne- braska Infantry.

EXCACTRESS IS HELD IN GEM THEFT QUIZ Ethelind Terry and Husband Disaree Over Value of Stolen Jewels. By the Agsociated Press. CHICAGO, June 25.—Mrs. Benjamin Bogeaus, the former Ethelind Terry of the musical comedy stage, and her hus- | band, a real estate dealer, were held | for questioning early today in connec- | tion with the investigation of the theft of Mrs. Bogeaus’ jewels yesterday. H Deputy Commissioner John P. Stege expressed the belief that the jewel rob- bery was an “inside job.” He sald My. and Mrs. Bogeaus were in disagreement over the value of the jewelry taken, Bogeaus valuing it at $30,000, while Mrs. Bogeaus said it was worth less than $11,000. Stege also said the jewels had been insured only a few days ago against theft. Bogeaus' Brother Is Held. | Bogeaus’ brother, Maurice Bogolowski, | who has been in custody several times in recent ~years, also was arrested. Neither his brother nor Mr. Bogeaus, however, identified him as one of the | two men they said had taken part in | tee robbery. Mrs. Bogeaus, as Ethelind Terry, ap- peared in Chicago last Winter with a Ziegfeld show and met Bogeaus, to whom she was married after a short | courtship. Police said Bogeaus was in financial difficulties and that he recently re- turned from California, where,. they said, his indebtedness was increased on real estate holdings. The Bogeaus' reported early Monday that they had been robbed by two young men who apparently followed them ffom the Frolics Cafe, on Twenty- | second street, to the Northside Apart- | ment at 444 St. James place, which | Bogeaus owns. | Says He Knows One Robber. { ‘The robbers held them up inside the hotel lobby, Bogeaus said. After stripping bracelets and rings from Mrs. Bogeaus the men fled. geaus said he recently had met one of the rob- bers, but refused to reveal his name. Bogolowski was arrested when it was learned that Peter Miller, night clerk in the hotel, had been hired by Bogeaus several days ago upon Bogolowski's recommendation. Bogolowski's police record dates back | to 1918 and includes charges of rob- bery, one of forgery and one of mur- | der. He was twice convicted on the murder charge, but the verdict each time was reversed and the case re- manded by the State Supreme Court. | DIVORCE IS GRANTED | MRS. EVA G.

BUDAPEST, June 35—Con- demned and sold a few months ago by his former owner for $7¢ because he considered him “fit only for the plow,” a three-year- old horse named Rabalo today won the Hungarian National Derby and a $10,000 prize against a fleld of 21 of the country's thoroughbreds. ‘When Rabalo’s old master con- signed him to the farm he was bought by a local tavern keeper who found him tco short to hitch to a cart. He turned him over to a friend who after a few months’ training prepared him to race again, the action culminating to- day when he assumed the proud- est purse of the Hungarian turf.
