10 ¥ NORMAL PATH SEEN FOR TARIFF BILL emerge. All this, being the normal and usual rocess, would be the opposite of news ut for one fact. A oourse contrary to this has bezn rather sensationally pre- dicted by Senator David Reed of Penn- sylvania. Also a course contrary to this is energetically hoped for by some high tariff advocates of the type recently made conspicuous in the person of Mr. Grundy of Pennsylvania. These par- ticular high tariff beneficiaries want the House to “deadlock” the present bill, want to carry the high tariff issue into the congressional elections next year, want to win those elections, and | then want to write a thoroughgoing old-fashioned high protective tariff two years from now. “Fanatical” Advecates. This latter view is practically con- fined to high tariff advocates of the more fanatic sort existing outside the world of politics. No considerable num- ber of persons in politics entertains any such notion. Senator David Reed of Pennsylvania, while he predicts dead- lock between the two houses, does not go the fantastic length of some of the high tariff business men. Senator Reed has predicted, on at least two public occasions, that the two houses will deadlock and that consequently there will be no tariff bill enacted. On one occasion he has predicted that the en- tire Republican delegation in the Lower House from his own State, Pennsyl- vania, would take the course leading to deadlock and no bill ‘This allusion to the Lower House by | Mr. Reed causes predictions coming from him to be somewhat more than predictions. He has a double role in the political world. He is a Senator from Pennsylvania, the only one so long as Mr. Vare's fate remains in suspense. Largest Delegation. Mr. Reed is also one of the two or three Republican leaders in the State that has the largest single Repub- lican delegation in the Lower House. Pennsylvania has 3¢ Republican mem- bers of the Lower House out of a total of 232. If Mr. Reed be accepted as able to speak for a solid block of 14 r cent of the total Republican mem- g:rshlp of the Lower House, his pre- diction about the Lower House's prob- able action would be formidable and ominous. Senator Reed’s attitude has the fur- ther quality of angering and stiffening | the coalition in the Se . They be- came more implacable and what he represents than before, if that were possible. If one should ac- cept the picture of Reed’s attitude as seen by the coalition, one would see a spectacle, As the co- alition “puts it, Senator Reed leads a fight in the Senate W'QL Bt u:{llg mnflflfl.l&;flehhfin.f«mu a Republican and the Republicans are supposed to be in power. In his fight he is beaten. Won't Accept Defeat. as the coaljtion sees it, | &flwm declines to accept defeat in a sportsmanlike it. He says he will use the Pcnnlynntl: Republican sportsmanship. pt;‘ &mwpneed is to be accepted as speaking authoritatively for the Repub- lican Pennsylvania delegation in Lower House .he would undoubtedly be able to “throw a menkey wrench” into the normal that should result in 8 compromise between Senate and House. Some leaders in the Lower House, coming from States other than Pennsylvania, say that no matter what Mr. Reed does about the Pennsylvania delegation in the Lower House the rest of House and its leaders will pro- ceed upon the normal path toward an amicable conference with the Senate and a compromise bill. Bellicosity Not Shared. ‘The Lower House as a whole, and the more temperate leaders of it, do not share Senator Reed’s die-hard belli- cosity. Their expectation is to receive this Senate tariff bill when done as they would any other Senate bill. ‘Their further expectation is to enter corference with the Senate in a good faith intention to give and ‘ake. The; Senate coalition on its side also intends to practice give and take. The coalition has said this rather solemniy through Senators Borah and Norris. While all | this is true, it is also true that some of | the contrasts between the respective bills of the House and Senate are such as to make compromise & delicate and difficult business. In the net of the situation, the very great probability is that House and Senate will ultimately manage to com- promise, The latter stages of the com- promise process will be attended by some public connection centering around the flexible tariff revision. Of all the differences between the two Houses, the flexible provision 1s the one | most likely to give rise to strain. (Copyright, 1829.) TRIAL NEARING CLOSE.

Doctors Assemble in Conference. ‘The urgency of prompt medical tention in cases of tonsilitis and ap- pendicitis, two ills which respond read- ily to proper treatment and are sources of additional complications, was stressed today before the Medical Society of Virginia, Maryland and the District, meeting at the Mayfliower Hotel. Lead- ing physicians of this group are in semi-anaual conference. Although there appeared to be some difference of opinion between leading specialists attending the meeting as to the importance of infected tonsils re- garding certain ailments, information was furnished to show that in prac- tically all cases where tonsils are held at fault for a physical ailment that a normal condition is restored upon re- moval of the tonsils. Dr. Bailey Gives Paper. ‘Today's discussion began after a paper had been delivered by Dr. O. W.

Poole Differs With Each. Dr. T. A. Poole, another Washington | specialist, differed somewhat with both Dr. Bailey and Dr. Tribble, being in- clined to consider infected tonsils only after various other things have been taken into consideration in dealing with optic neuritis. Some alarm- was expressed over “an increased rate of mortality in appendi- citis cases since 1915 by Dr, S. B.

CORA LEON EDEN VICTIM OF SHOOTING Divorced Wife of Late Oliver Cur- wood, Author, Wounded by Caller Who Attemps Suicide. By the Associated Press. ORLANDO, Fla,, November 13.—Mrs. Cora Leon Eden, divorced wife of the late James Oliver Curwood, the author, was shot and serfously wounded here late yesterday by R. C. Patton, 50, of Lima, Ohio. Patton, after shooting Mrs. Eden through the mouth, shot himself anl was believed in a dying condition at a hospital. ‘The cause of the double shooting was not learned. Patton, who travels for a Brooklyn metal company, said he went to Mrs. Eden’s home yesterday and that she ordered him off the premises by flourishing a pistol. Patton told officers that when he saw the weapon in Mrs. Eden’s hand he drew his own pistol and shot her. Mrs. Eden could not make a statement, due to the nature of her wounds. Patton was shot above the heart, the bullet piercing a lung. He said his home is at 553 West Spring street, Lima, Ohio. Coach Turns Dictator.

This was | announced late yesterday by Henry Draper, supervising principal of the first division, in an address to the Ben W Murch Home and School Association meeting in the Methodist Home for the Aged. ‘The news of the structural delay in the new school was received with dis- appointment by the members of the as- sociation, who had expected that their children, six grades of whom are quar- tered in four frame portable buildings on what will be the new school’s play- ground, would be moved to the per- manent structure before the real Winter weather sets in. The parents pointed out that their portables leak in heavy rains, and that they are not sufficiently warm in cold weather. It was recalled that it was one of this group of buildings from which a roof was blown last year. ‘The association adopted a resolution urging the immediate traffic lights at Connecticut avenue and Davenport street, so that more safety will be assured the increased number of school. It was explained in the meeting intersection “when one can be spared,” but as the Follceman's presence is not always possible, there is at present no assurance that school children may be given protection as they walk to school. s By & Staft Correspondent of The Star CLARENDON, Va., November Arrangements for a dance to be given at the Ashton Heights Women's Club January 7 were completed yesterday at the regular meeting of the Arlington County Business and Professional Women's Club.

NEW YORK, November 13.—An | escaped convict was dying today after a running gun battle with police through several miles of the heart of Brooklyn's retail section, during which a woman bystander was killed. George Small, 33, who was serving 12 years for robbery, was one of the ring leaders in an attempt to free 1,750 mates from Auburn State Prison last July 27, when 2 convicts were killed, 2 wounded and 2 guards injured. Four convicts escaped. Small was detected yesterday in the act of holding up a garage and aftér a gun battle escaped, only to be again cornered. He received five wounds. Mrs, Irene Sumner, 26, was mortally wounded by a stray bullet either from the convict's gun or from that of one of several policemen who took part in the chase.
