= A—4 TARIFF TO REMAIN D RS T TPV PP Republicans and Coalitionists Decide to Get Action on Bill. (Continued From Pirst Page.) finance committee, and possibly four, to give it full representation. Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wis- consin, one of the Progressive group, has made application for the vacancy caused by the resignation of Ambas- sador Walter Edge, from New Jersey. formerly Senator But Senator Goff of West Virginia also has filed for the! ce. He is senior to Senator La Fol- tte in point of service, and under the rule of seniority, which is followed al- most invariably in filling committee as- signments, the Republican commtitee on commitiees can only give the com- mittee place to Goff. In order to get around this point and make their demand for recognition on the finance committee more effective, the Progressivea Rebuplicans now pro- that Senator McMaster of South ota, who entered the Senate at the same time as did Senator Goff, shall file application for assignment to the finance committee. It is true that Goff's name comes alphabetically be- fore that of McMaster, which might cause the committee on committees to favor Goff. But the Progressives will urge that the section of the country which includes West Virginia is al- ready well represented on the finance committee and that the Northwest and ‘West should have the recognition. Another Vacancy Soon. ‘The coming resignation of Senalor Backett of Kentucky, who is a member of the finance committee, when he goes to Germany as Ambassador will make another vacancy in the committee which the Progressives are planning to de- mand also. If Goff gets the Edge va- cancy now, the demand for the Sackett vacancy will be all the stronger. The ives are puzzled over the prob- able attitude of their Democratic allies on the tariff bill in this committee fight. If the Democrats would stand with them, they could put La Follette or McMaster, or both, on the finance committee. But some of them feel that the Democrats would not mix up in this party row. Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Demo- cratic leader of the Senate, said last night that he believed the tariff bill &hould be kept before ge Senate ‘l‘:;d disposed of as promptly as possible. He expressed the opinion that it could be brought to a vote in the Senate in three or four weeks. Senator Robinson will leave Washington next week to go as a member of the American delaga- tion to take part in the Londor naval limitation conference. During his ab- sence it is expected that Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana, vice chairman of the Democratic conference of the Senate, will act as party leader. The R:publican leader, Senator Wat- son of Indiana, announced the purpose of the regular Republicans to keep the tariff bill constantly before the Senate, and to speed its consideration in every possible way. He called a conference yesterday of the Republicans for tomor- Tow morning, but this conference was postponed until later in the week to permit the Republican committee on committees to wrestle with committee ents on Tuesday, and.so be lr:!.tr to report to the party conference Senator Robinson of Arkansas and members of the Republican Progressive group said last night that it was not their purpose to make a wholesale at- tack on the industrial tariff rates as they exist in.the present law. It is planned, however, to seek to make re- ductions on some outstanding articles in the industrial schedule, among them aluminum and steel, it was said. If this determination is adhered to, -the passage of the bill through the Sen- ate may be expedited considerably. Job Awaiting House. One of the first jobs which the‘ House is expected to tackle is adop- | tion of the Senate joint resolution call- ing for the appointment of & joins ! congressional commitiee on prohibi - | tion legislation. The Senate has acted on this resolution. In the House the 8ize of the committee may be increased 10, 5 members from each house. Benate is expected to concur in this amendment. Senator Jones of ‘Washington, an ardent dry and author of the resolution, is not to serve as 8 member of the committee, he said, | because he is slated to be chairman of the hard-working appropriations com- | mittee, an office which will require all | gf hl'a time. The expectation is that dry” Senators and members of the House will predominate, if they do not fill entirely, the joint committee. ‘he President is ‘expected to send! to the joint committee, once it is organized, the reccmmendations of the Law Enforcement Commission on pro- hibition enforcement. already submitted o him, calling for transfer of the pro- hibition enforcement unit from the Treasury Department to the Depart- ment of Justice, and other changes in the law. The joint resolution providing for lhx;gombmem of this committee on!prm ition enforcement legislation may prove a vehicle for a debate of the! prohibition question in the House. Despite the efforts of the leaders of all factions in the Senate to confine the debate for the present to the tariff bill, the row over prohibition enforce- ment may come to the surface.there at any time. Senator Howell of Nebraska, it is understood, will attack before long the exemption of members of the diplomatic corps in Washington from the prohibition laws. The Nebraska Senator will show, he says, that the amount of liquor brought into the Na- | tional Capital for the embassies and legations is increasing enormously. He does not believe that an exception should be made for the diplomats, but that they should be requested to ob- serve the dry laws of the United States s long as they are in this country. Appropriation Bills. Appropriation bills will occupy the attention of the House from now until they have all been passed. The Dale- Lehlbach civil service retirement bill, liberalizing the present law, has been | made a special order of business in the House. The Senate may be called upon to deal with the pro) 1 that the United States adhere to the World Court under the Root formula, so-called, before the present session closes, in the opinion of Senator Robinson, the Democratic leader. He said he saw no reason why it should not be taken up before Con- gress adjourns next June or July. Sheriff in Mullan Ring Quits. WALLACE, Idaho, January 4 (P).— R. E. Weniger resigned today as sheriff of Shoshone County. The action came after.a controversy as to whether he should quit, following conviction as a member of the Mullan, Idaho, whisky conspiracy ring and his sentence to two years in Federal prison.

CUSTODIANS DECIDE CAPITOL FIRE IS A CLOSED INCIDENT (Continued From First Page.) to spontaneous combustion and that his investigation had not convinced him that smoking was the cause. Moberly himself denied that he had been smok- ing or was under the influence of liquor. He was taken to his home in Mount Ida, Va, Friday night by David Lynn, jr., and was at the Capitol again early yesterday morning consulting with Mr. Lynn. He later issued a statement. Moberly Gives Explanation. Mr. Moberly has been an employe at the Capitol for more than 30 years and helped to decorate the Library of Congress Building. He has done some very important work in restoration of art work in the Capitol and is an artist of recognized ability and has in- vented several special proces: He is 64 years of age and will be eligible for retirement within a year. He explained that he remained in his studio at the Capitol after his day's work and fell asleep at his desk. Because of the dis- tance to his home, where he lives alone, because “it is ionesome there” he referred to while away his time sketch- g in his studio. After completing his investigation of the fire Mr. Lynn said he was unable origin with “a careless smoker or from spontaneous combustion.” Questioned as to whether Moberly had been drinking, Mr. Lynn said he l;:d no reason to believe that he had en. “He told me that he had had one or two drinks around noon, but none after that,” Mr. Lynn said. As the architect constructed the scene from the stories of Moberly and Samuel Hall, a former Capitol police- man who twice called at the studio and was there when the fire started, it was like this: Moberly, who had touching up the decorations in the halls of the Senate wing of the Capitol, went to the studio between 2 and 3 o'clock and engaged in some work and in tidying up the place. About 4 o'clock, three hours before the first fire alarm was given, he fell asleep at his desk with his head on his arm. Found Artist Asleep. Almost two hours later, Hall, occaslonally visites the artist and about whom Capitol officials said they knew little, called at the studio, climb- ing the long, winding stairway from the rotunda floor three flights below. He found Moberly asleep in his chair with his head on his desk. He left to get something to eat at a nearby restaurant and returned shortly after 6 o'clock. Moberly still was asleep and Hall sat down to read a newspaper. He as- serted that he had not been smoking and that within half an hour or so he smelled smoke, investigated and found fire in the adjoining room where models of the Capitol are stored. Rushing into a nearby document room he obtained a fire extinguisher and sought to put out the blaze, but was unsuccessful and notified the oper- ator of an elevator in an adjoining hall. He then left the bullding, re- turning sometime later when he first was questioned by officials of the build- ing Moberly's statement as given by Mr. who noise which sounded like some one try- ing to break in. Opening the door to the model room he was greeted by smoke and flames and was overcome by fumes. He said he did not remember anything until he recovered conscious- ness on a couch in the office of Rep- resentative John Garner of Texas, to which he had been taken by firemen and police. Still Under Physician’s Care. Moberly still was under the care of Dr. George W. Calver, who reiterated that he had treated the artist for par- tial suffocation from smoke and paint fumes and for a cut on the side of his head. Architect Lynn made a report of his investigation to Speaker Longworth and also will report to Vice President Curtis. These two officials are custodians of the Capitol. taneous combustion, & statement dis- tributed by Lynn said: “Mr. Moberly states that a tub of rags was situated near a wooden table town, N. Y.

The more times goes on, the way it does, the more it appears that Mr. Alexander Legge, formerly head of the International Harvester Co. and now head of the new Federal Farm Board, is one of the most extraordinary char- acters at present in our American na- tional public life. Mr. Legge amazingly combines the virtues of industriousness and of hard-headedness on the one hand and the virtues of adroitness and suppleness on the other. A compre- hensive survey of the newspapers of the country, indicates that few or no | men who have recently entered our | Federal service have received so much general editorial approbation. &s has been heaped upon Mr. Legge. | ‘This approbation has arisen from a contemplation of ‘Mr. Legge’s public policies and public actions. It becomes interesting to go behind them and to | look for a moment at the man himself in his daily personal behavior. Devoted to Work. Mr. Legge is certainly devoted to | work. He has fixed his residence at a hotel which is scientifically situated almost exactly half way between the ‘White House, where his chief dwells, and the office building in which the Federal Farm Board has its head- juarters. Further, the distance from the hotel either to the White House or to the board headquarters is only & few hundred feet. Mr. Legge is thus able to keep his living arrangements and his working arrangements all compacted into the llest possible geographical clock in the morning he issues from his hotel and ambles over to the White House for his daily relaxation and exercise. He gets there, it is sald, rather earlier, as a usual thing, th most of his colleagues in the so-called “medicine ball cabinet.” In fact, it is said, he often gets there first—which means, nowadays, that he arrives while it is still dark. He then proceeds to the lawn in the rear of the White House and, at the age of 64, tosses medicine balls over high nets with earnest vigor for some 20 minutes. It is rumored that he played very badly at first, and it is asserted that he now plays with considerable re- lisble skill. He is y far, from the standpoint of l'!,! the dean of e presidential medi- cine ballers. Ex- ercised, he returns on foot to his hotel and, after rapldly breakfasting, _ar- rives at the Fed- eral Farm Board about 8:30. He does business until lunch, and then lunches with people with whom he is doing business. He goes back to the Federal Farm Board and does business through the after- noon and then dines with people with whom he is doing business. He then spends the evening with people with whom he is doing business. He then goes to sleep and arises to leave for the White House at 7 in the morning. That is the exact chronology and or- ganization of his usual 24 hours. Most people who lead such lives tend to become stuffy and morose. Mr. Legge does not. He is as full of humor as he is of routine. He takes even his critics humorously. Can Lose Temper. He remarked about one of the ‘biting- est and noisiest of them the other day: “I'll say for him that he’s an Italian flea. He's only a flea, it is true, but n able-bodied and wonderful one.” He sometimes, indeed, in private, can lose, if not his temper, at least his suavity of lan e, in ing some of the political enmities that have been t Joose uj him in Washi n.

MORRIS PLAN BAKR Ufliwfi V. S, Tresemry HSreat N W, Washington, D@ | DAWES PUTS PUNCH INTO PARLEY PLANS U. S. Ambassador Extraor- dinary Gets Ready to Make Things Hum. BY FRANK HAVILAND KING. LONDON (#).—When high envoys of the United States, the British Empire, Prance, Italy and Japan assemble on January 21 in the royal gallery of the House of Lords to inaugurate the five- er armaments conference, another can be written in the eventful caree? of Charles Gates Dawes, extraordinary and plenipo- tentiary the historic Court of St. James. “Ambassador extraordinary” is formal parlance, but in this particular case the title fits the subject with rare exact- ness. He's Had “Lots of Experience.” ‘The Ohio-born banker, soldier, former Vice President, international negotia- tor and even composer, to whom Chi- cago is home, certainly is not formal and he makes no claims as a diplo- matist, in_the accepted sense of the word, but he is, nevertheless, an “Am- bassador extraordinary.” “I'm no diplomatist, but I've had a lot of experience,” Dawes told reporters on his arrival in London last Ju As chief of Uncle Sam’s most fmpor= tant diplomatic mission abroad, he has lived uwp to his reputation as an ex- traordinary American. For six months Ambassador Dawes has wrestled with the preliminaries of the approaching armaments confer- ence. Whether success or failure at- tends the negotiations, much credit will g0 to him for ling, or at least as- sembling,: in Europe the conference ma- chine. This labor has called into play from the moment of his arrival in England the Ambassador's intense activity, forcefulness, optimism and good will in carrying out the official mission as- signed to him by President Hoover. The i first Jord of the admiralty, A. V. Alex- ander, summed up what seemed to be Great Britain’s valuation of Dawes when he told of his own first impression of the Ambassador on the occasion of his first inaugural public address in this country. “This fellow means business,” sald xander. Vielates Diplomatic Niceties. He not only meant business, but a new and human informality in the conduct of American foreign relations as handled by the London embassy. Secretaries and attaches at Grosvenor Gardens say he violates roughshod some of the niceties and the inconsequentials of so-called diplomacy, but they swear Already there is a crop of Dawes anecdotes, few of them known beyond the small circle of the embassy. One of the Ambassador's first con- tacts with the British foreign office showed no formal diplomat had arrived from America. Gen. and Mrs. Dawes brought their favorite dog—a Chow named Chung—to England, but six months’ quarantine for dogs is necessary here. Dawes made no effort to avoid the regulations. “It is a good omen for Anglo-Amer~ ican relations,’ *he told the British for- eign minister, “that the only problems between us are dogs and debutantes.” American debutantes—and dowagers —Iit must be remembered, flutter to London every Summer for presentation at court. Weeding them out is a per- ennial problem of high diplomacy. Last S er when the Ambassador rusheéh to London from Scotland | whitre h%ifl' an American visit Primé ister Macdonald, he arrived at jhe embassy early in the morning. ‘That evening he was to address the dis- tinguished and influential membership of the Pligrims’ Soclety. Travel worn and unshaven, he started putting the finishing touches on his address, which was probably th> most important public pronouncement by an American Am- in London for many years. Sets Own Precedents. Before settling to his task, Dawes ordered in a barbe: “Where shall we receive the barber,” asked one secretary of another. “There is no precedent.” “Show him right in here, interrupted the general and the barber took his kit in the great ambassadorial office ‘where the portraits of American envoys of other generations looked down as he lathered and shaved the ambassadorial beard. The barber barbered and Dawes ‘worked on. “I Mke that man's work,” said the Ambassador, when the job. was done. “Have him come again.” ‘Thus Dawes shattered all sorts of minor customs and formalities. He walked up and down the embassy stairs instead of taking the elevator, ran the “Ift” himself or used “Helen Maria"” language when he couldn’t operate the gadgets. To the astonishment of minor attendants, he grabbed his overcoat and put it on without assistance. He told rows of office boys who sprang to attention every time he passed to sit down and stay set. He disliked the formal display. “Hip! Hip! Hooray!

This desire was expressed years ago by the erection of a $1,000,000 play- house on the estate for the use of the Rockefelier children and grandchildren and their friends.
