CHINA GLAY DUTY CHANGES BEATEN Move to Lower Levy Meets Same Fate as Earlier At- tempt to Increase It. By the Associated Press. Without a record vote the Senate today rejected an amendment to the | tariff bill to increase the duty on china ! clay from $2.50 to $3.75 a ton. | BY the Assoéiated Press. By & vote of 40 to 35, the Senate then | turned down an amendment by the' finance committee to cut the china clay | duty to $1.50 a ton. This left the | duty as at present—$2.50. The first | amendment, was sponsored by Demo- | erats ! Both party and fractional lines split | on the vote. Six Democrats, Copeland. | Harrison, Kendrick, Tydings, Walsh of Massachusetts and Walsh of Montana, voted with 26 Republicans for the com~ mittee cut, while 15 Republicans joined 25 Democrats for the existing duty. The vote also found Republican in- dependents voting for and against the committee. ‘Those aligned with it were Senators Blaine, Cutting, Frazier, La Follette, Norris and Nye. Independents oppos- ing the committee rate were Borah, Brookhart, Howell Norbeck, Pine and Schall. China clay is used principally as a filler and coating in the manufacture of paper and in pottery. Coalition Wants Speed. Democratic and Western independent Republican Senators today sought to expedite action on the tariff bill by conferences among themselves intended to determine what schedules of the pending measure may be approved ‘without debate. In undisputed control of the tariff situation, they planned to submit the results of their meetings to leaders of the administration group for their ap- proval, and thus avoid debate on pro- posals found acceptable to all factions. Simmons Voices Doubts. Some doubt arose, however, as to the practicability of the new arrangement an_effectlve means of hastening a vote, this voiced by one of the tariff spokesmen of the Democrats. Senator Simmons, North Carolina, ranking minority member of the finance committee, is doubtful that the bill can be passed in the remaining month of the special session. ‘The informal conferences, he said, are “as far as we can go toward limit- ing debate. We can’t limit debate on important matters in dispute.” La Follette Preparing Address. Dispasition of the controversy over retention of American valuation for coal tar products, expected soon, has been deferred. Senator La Follette, Republi- can, of Wisconsin is preparing a lengthy address to be used in his opposition to the rates proposed. Almost daily some circumstance aside from the tariff discussion arises to delay the enactment of that measure. Yes- terday it was the resolution of Senator Norris rebuking Bingham of Connecti- cut for his relations with the Con- necticut Manufacturers’ Association. ‘Today, the Senate was promised a lengthy address by Senator Brookhart of Jowa on the subject of prohibition enforcement. KING REPORTED IMPROVED Physicians, However, Consider Taking Him to Johns Hopkins. Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, who is 11l with a stomach disorder, was re- r':‘ma today to be a trifie better, but physicians still were consideting advisability of taking their patient to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore to undergo treatment. The selrll:l%or hdla offce n‘i,d today, had 8 good night, and apparently was some- what improved. RITES FOR MRS. THORNE. Bervices for Former D. C. Nurse Held in Cedar Hill Chapel.

RELATES STRANGE TALE 70 POLICE Man Tells of Being Drugged| and Robbed on Street in Broad Daylight. A story of being rendered unconscious by a drug waved before his nose on the street yesterday in broad daylight and then awaking 18 hours later on a park bench, with $42 gone from his pockets, was told Headquarters Detec- tives Frank Varney and H. E. Brodie by a 45-year-old man, who walked into the Detective Bureau about 6 o'clock this morning. He said he was Ernest Michael, a carpenter, of 1135 Morse street north- east, and had been in Washington for only three or four months, coming here from Petersburg, Va. " “I went into the Mount Vernon Sav- ings Bank about 10:30 o'clock yester- day morning to get a $20 bill changed,” | he declared. “I was then going home. | When I came out of the bank, I met two men, one of whom I knew slightly. We stopped and talked a while and then one of them asked me for a cigarette. I gave it to him and while I was turning to offer a cigarette to the other man I suddenly smelled the odor of jodoform. | “That was the last I remember until 1 woke up between 5 and 6 o'clock this morning, lying on a bench facing the river in Potomac Park, near the polo grounds. I looked in my pockets and every cent I had —$42—was gone. “I hesitated at first about report- ing it to the police because what had happened to me seemed 50 improbable. But it was true, so I finally went to headquarters.” Michael was able to give Varney and Brodie detailed descriptions of both men, snd a search for them is being conducted today. YUDELEVIT IS HELD GUILTY IN RUM CASE Is Convicted as “Aider and Abet- tor,” in Seizure of Car Laden With Liquor. United States Attorney- Rover and Assistant United States Attorney R.

STAR, WASHI LOST EXPLORERS ARE SAFE AT POST 8 Missing in Canadian Wilds Reach Isolated Trading Camp Afoot. NGTON, Special Dispatch to The Star. WINNIPEG, Manitoba, November 5.— Col. C. D. H. MacAlpine and his seven companion explorers are safe and sound, but it may be a month before they can can be brought out to civilization. This definite word, coming from the officers of the Western Canadian Air- ways Co. last night, dispels all doubt regarding the finding of the eight men | who left Baker Lake September 8 in two planes. In one plane were Pilot C. A. Thomp- | son, Maj. Baker, Mechanic Goodwin | and Richard Pearce, editor of the North- ern Miner, who went north in the in- terests of the Western Canadian Air- ways Co. In the other plane were Col. MacAlpine, Pilot Stanley MacMillan, Chief Mechanic A. G. Milne and Geolo- gist A. D. Boadway of the Dominion Explorers Co. The object of the men in the two planes was to explore the mineral flelds in the barren lands. On Victoria Island. All of these missing men have been found on the southern shore of Victoria Island, about 75 miles from the north coast of the main island in the Arctic Seas. From there, once reached by the | planes now at the rescue base at Bath- | urst Inlet on the mainland, it will be | an easy trip to transfer them to the | mainland. Another hop will take them | back to Baker Lake, where the search | began. The difficulty in getting the men out is due to the difference in weather con- ditions_in the north and the south. From Baker Lake north the lakes are all frozen and all the fiying is done on skis. In the south, at Cranberry Port- age and Churchill, there is still n water, and until this freezes it is im- possible for ski-equipped planes to land. The rescued men and the rescue | planes will be tied up in the north until ice forms in the south. Float Flying Closed. It 1s estimated that this will take about four weeks. The Western Cana- dian Airways Co. has just closed its gfloat fiying season at Cranberry Port- age, and it is usually a month after this happens before ski flying can be undertaken. ‘This means also that no planes from | the south can go into the north. There | 1s no chance of the explorers being brought out by boat, as the fact that they crossed from the mainland to Cambridge Bay indicates that the straits and channels in the northern seas are frozen. A suggestion that dog teams might be used is scouted here as in- volving more hardships than they are likely to experience anywhere in the north. “Now that we are certain they ars safe and well, we are not concerned about the time it takes to get them out,” an official of the Western Ca dian Airways Co. sald. “They will probably be taken to Baker Lake at | once, and there, where there are plenty of supplies of all kinds, they can wait comfortably till conditions are perfect for flying back.” Imperfect Communication. Meanwhile, the only means of com- municating with Col. MacAlpine and his men is by radio, and that is liable to interruption. One of the mysteries of th2 news of their safety is why word was not received long ago from the radio station at Cambridge Bay. There are_two, theories to account for this. The first explanation is in the radio system. The broadcasting 'station at Cambridge Bay is on an old boat of Amundsen’s, the Baymaud, which has been lying up there for some years. It is a first-class set, but the operator has been away on furlough. There is, however, on the Baymaud 8 young amateur operator, Jack Mc- Kinnon, who has been flashing mes- sages of various sorts at odd times |to the Hudson Bay Co. setamer Fort iE!. James, at King Willlam Island, | about 200 ‘miles east. He is supposed [to have got through with the news of the party's safety. Message Relayed Ouf It was from the Fort St. James that the message was relayed to Churchill and thence to the outside world., It is probable that the party has only recently arrived at Cambridge Bay. ‘They crossed from Dease Point, on the | mainland, by ice, and may have been delayed there waiting till the ice formed. How they got to Dease Point s still unknown. It is east of the mouth of Bathurst Inlet, on which, about half way down, is situated the Hudson Bay post the explorers were making 1 or. It Is possible that coming up from the South they missed the narrow in- let. Pilots who have been over the route say that a very slight error would lead to this. If so, Col. MacAlpine and his men flew up to the shores of the Arctic, landing at Dease Point. Subsisting on Game, It may be, however, that they traveled inland on the barren lands and that for the last few weeks they have been tramping laboriously over the bare rocks, living on caribou, fish and what- ever birds or-other game they could bring down. ‘The_fact that they made their way from Dease Point to the radio station at Cambridge Bay suggests that they It indicates also a possibility that they were discov- ered by Eskimos and taken by them to safety. Some three weeks ago the Hudson Bay Co.’s officials at Cambridge Bay sent out advices to Eskimos in the WILKINS DELIVERED to your Grocer Frequently - LIKE BREAD Freshness PG ttmcmmmm wi m%.ncum look for them and bring them in when found This, when the radio has broken through with & of the explorers’ experiences, will bly be found (o be the true story of their rescue. > , 1929, the North American oyl esbaper Alllance.) LEADER DESCRIBES HARDSHIPS. TORONTO, Ontario, November 5 (#).—Brief radio messages from the iso- lated Arctic trading post on Cambridge Bay told of the battle against the frozen North waged for two months by the eight aerial prospectors before their discovery by wandering Eskimos. The party, headed by Col. C. D. H. McAlpine, president of Dominion Ex- plorers, Ltd., had been missing since September 8, when they took from Baker Lake, Manitoba, in two airplanes on a prospecting trip. News of their rescue brought to an end the greatest man hunt ever con- ducted in the North. A half dozen planes, a n:gply ship and land parties were engaged in a search which covered more than 12,000 miles. Got Lost in Fog. McAlpine, in & message to the head- quarters of Dominion Explorers here, said they had become lost in the Arctic fogs and had landed in the sea. After taking off from Baker Lake on September 8 they landed safely that night at Beverley Lake, the half-wi point on their projected 500-mile flight to Bathurst Inlet. They waited a day for the weathe. to clear, and then took off again on the 10th, but soon realized they were lost in the fog. After flights for hours over the open waters of the Arctic in search of land- marks, the gas supply of the two planes became exhausted as dusk was falling and a successful landing was made on the water. With the greatest difficulty they pulled their heavy pontoon-equipped planes ashore on a sandy beach and erected a rude shelter about their planes and bullt a fire. . The next day they set about the task of finding their way back to civilization, but despite a more widespread search each day they were unable to find any sign of human habitation. Finally, as they were almost aban- doning hope, three wandering Eskimos arrived at their camp, attracted by the fire, which they had kept burning night and day. Through the “Pidgin English” of the North they acquainted the Eski- mos with their plight .and the latter agreed to lead them to the nearest set- tlement. Flew Along ‘Wrong River. Taking only such food from their planes as they would absolutely need, the prospectors set out on their over- land journey. Footsore and exhausted, they reached the Hudson Bay Co. trad- ing post on Victoria Island last Sunday. ey learned from the Eskimos that they had come down at & point west of the mouth of the Ellice River and more than 150 miles northwest of their desti- nation. They apparently had mistake; the Ellice River for the Western Rive and had followed it morthward to the ocean. Cadet Club Eieetl Officers. LYON VILLAGE, November 5 (Spe- cial).—Capt.

Huston had been riding in Turn- er's car when it crashed into a tree on Sheriff road. The grand jurors re- fused to indict Theodore C. Milburn, colored, who struck Earl Mitchell with a piece of board October 20, at Thir- teenth and D streets. Other cases ignored by the grand jury include Charles M.
