/ S Senators in the consideration of the SENATE APPROVE OPIUM PENALTY Bastores House Provision to Tariff Bill for Stiff Smuggling Fine. By the Associated Press. The Benate today voted to restore a | House provision to the tariff bill making | the owner of a vessel, as well as the | master, subject to a penalty of $25 an ounce for all smoking opium found un- | manifested on a ship. ! The Senate also turned down & com- | mittee amendment to strike out a House provision to make the penalties consti- tute a lien upon vessels, including com- mon carriers. The Senate finance committee also | aPNinted today a subcommittee to con- | siderthe form of tax information tne ‘Trezputy should compile for the use of tariff bill, Unable to Get Data. Officials of the Treasury contend it would be impossible to produce all the tax data originally requested by the Senators relating to the financial condi- tion of approximately 700 corporations f sufficient time for use in the tariff dobate and without great expense. © Undersecretary Mills of the Theasury appeared again before the finance com- mittee today, going over the items on tax returns which he said the Treasury can produce within a reasonable time. The subcommittes appointed con- sistes of Senators Smoot, Utah, and Reed, Pennsylvania, Republicans, and Simmons, North Carolina, and Harri- son, Missiasippi, Democrs ublican leaders in the Senate faced a complicated situation today as they approached a vote on the highly controversial administrative provisions of the tariff bill. They were successful in their first move to speed up the debate, calling to- day's session an hour earlier t usual. They were confronted, however, with the claim of the Republican independ- ents, organized under the leadership of Senator Borah of Idaho, to 14 votes to ‘wield as a nce of power between the | regular Republicans and the Democrats. Attitude of Independents. ~ Whije the Republican independents are chliefly concerned with their desire to confine the tariff revision to agri- cultural commodities, they are expected to line up with the Democrats in favor of al of the flexible tariff policy ‘written into the Fordney-McCumber act seven years ago and provided for again In_the pending bill. That policy has the approval of Presi- dent Hoover, expressed in his message at the beginning of the special session, while the Democrats and some Re- publicans of the regular as well as the independent persuasion have attacked it on the ground that it delegates an exclusively congressional function to the Chief Executive by permitting him to raise or lower imposts. Troublesome Issue Cited. In addition to that issue, two other outstanding points of controversy are presented in the administrative pro- visions of the bill—the question whether the President is to be given authority to reorganize the now bi-partisan tarift commission without regard to party lines, and the proposal to abandon for- el valuations in favor of more easily obtainable domestic figures as a basis for ad valorem duties. ‘With that skuation and the Re-‘ publican independent organization in mind, leaders of both parties had little time this morning to do anything ex-| cept sound out their adherents and line them up for the votes to come. All were practically certain, meanwhile, that wgen the Senate reaches the con- tested rate schedules, the Republican independents would draw strong support | from the Democrats in efforts to pre-| vent advances in duties on industrial ccommodities. 3 DIE IN PLANE CRASH.

Says Secretary “Failed to Ackncwledge” Plea for War Delay. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 23.—A “lost cablegram” sent by Ambassador Her- rick from Paris to Washington on July 28, 1914, a few hours before Austri declared war on Serbia, is made pub-, lic in the opefiing installment of Am- bassador Herrick's biography appearing in the October issue of World's Work magazine, The message, sent to Wil- liam Jennings Bryan, Secretary o! State, urged that President Wilson plead for delay, | Mr. Herrick is quoted by Col. T.| Bentley Mott, his military sttache and | biographer, as saying: Denies Seeing It. “Bryan never answered or acknowl- edged my telegram. I never knew | whether Mr. Wilson ever saw it until I was in Washington a few months | afterward. I then asked him. He told | me he had not seen it.” ‘The message follows: B “July 28, “Sécretary of State, “Washington. “Confidential—to be communicated to the President. “Situation in Europe is regarded here as the gravest in history. It appre- hended that civilization is threatencd by demoralization which wouild follow a general conflagration. Demonstration made against war here last night by laboring classes. It is said to be the first instance of its kind in France. “It is felt that if Germany once mobilizes no backward step will be | taken. France has strong reliance on | her army, but is not giving way to un- | due excitement. Fhere is a faith and reliance on our Ligh ideals and pur- | poses to that I Believe an expression | from our Nation would have great weight in this erisis. “My opinion is encouraged at recep- tion given utterances of British min- ister of foreign affairs. Plea for Delay Urged. “I believe that a strong plea for delay and moderation from the President of the United States would meet with the respect and approval of Europe and urge the prompt consideration of this question. This suggestion is consistent with our plea for arbitration treaties | and attitude toward world affairs gen- erally. I would not appear officious. but deem it my duty to make this ex- | pression to you, HERRICK.” “A similar fate may have befallen an- other telegram I sent September 3.”| Mr. Herrick is quoted as saying. This | reference is to a message sent to Brvan for communigcation to the President in | which the Ambassador suggested that | the United States join other neutral | powers in asking the embattled nations | to respect and protect the museums, | churches, art galleries and similar de- | vices in invaded territory. .

H 1914, 4 p.m. American Girls Lead Fad. | American girls are being held respon- sible for the spread of the nc-stocking- craze in Europe. At a gala event at the Casino at St. Juan-les-Pins, a fashion- | able French coast resort, fair Americans, in diaphanous evening growns, were the-| only ones without stockings. A corre- | spondent says the idea “took,” and be- fore the evening was over stockings seemed the height of dowdiness. When two pretty American girls appeared out- | side of St. Paul's, in London, their ten- nis socks attracted much attention, and soon afterward English girls began to emerge sans stockings. Girls in many parts of Europe have followed suit,” slightest movement of the body. AMBASSADOR HERRICK. VATICAN CITY VISITORS ADDRESSED BY PONTIFF| Two Assemblages Greeted by Pope, Who Omits Reference to Po- litical Differences in Italy. | By the Assoclated Press. VATICAN CITY, September 23.—A striking absence of any allusions of a political _nature _ characterized the speeches by Pope Pius XI yesterday 1o representatives of the Association of Catholic men to retired workmen in tvo audiences. This contrasted with his references to the alleged serveillance by Fascists of Catholic organizations in Italy made in his speech to Catholic youths a week ago. The Pontiff today expressed gratitude | that where ttere were only 1,000 groups of the Catholic men's organizations functioning in 1926, today there were 3,00, and the total membership had grown from 36,000 to more than 100,000. A significant point in the receptions of the day, which began with the Pope personally ‘saying mass in St. Peter's, | was the prescnce of about 500 Ber- saglier: veferans in the uniform of the famous army corps which had partici- pated in the capture of the papal city of Rome in 1870. The veterans cheered the Pontiff as heartily as they had earlier cheered Premier Mussolini at a | meeting in the coliseum. | GIRL FOUND MURDERED AFTER MEETING COUSIN North Carolina Man Arrested in Similar Case Eight Years Ago and Companion Held.

C., September 23.— | Solution of the killing of Bet'y Spivey, 20, whose body was found near her | home seven miles from here early yes- | terday with the head crushed by some blunt instrument, today held the atten- tion of Lee County authorities.

A. Spivey, late Saturday night with | her cousin and was slain about mid- | night, an ax apparently having been | used. Her companion told officers what | they said was a “vague” story, declaring | that he and Betty had been attacked by | a man, who killed her. | Spivey was arrested and later re- leased eight years ago in_connection ! with the ax murder of Mrs. Laura Waddell, A widow, near here. No one ever was convicted of the crime. Relatives of Miss Spivey said her, | ;ousin often had proposed marriage to er. | | Permature Burials Fought. 1 Fear of being buried alive has grown | to such an exient in Furope that the | | Society for the Prevention of Premature Death has been organized. It is arous- ing_public_interest in Britain in th building of a large mortuary, where bodies may be kept until there can be no doubt that death has taken place. It will be conducted along the lines o that in Munich, Germany,. where, at- tached to each body is a cord connected with a system of bells, which ring at the At- tendants are on duty day and night, and if a bell rings, they dash for a doctor. The new society has 11 tests of death | ornia with 1.215 aboard.

Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chairman of the commission, indicated that the commission may order the bus stop at this point moved, ‘The decision to make the traffic sur- vey followed publication in The Sunday Star of an article and photographs de- picting conditions resulting from ‘the failure of the Commission, the Police Department and the Traffic Bureau to coordinate their activities to permit the full use of the streets. Gen. Patrick pointed out, however, that the commission had already given consideration to the situation on Con- necticut avenue, but had deferred tak- ing definite action to improve conditions because of the pressure of other utility matters COLORED JANITOR IS FATALLY STABBED Unidentified Man Uses Knife on Victim After Argument on Ninth Street. ‘While engaged in an argument in the rear of 1257 Ninth street today, Alex- ander Jackson, colored janitor of the house, was fatally stabbed by an un- identified colored man.
