Savings Bank TARIFF 700 SLOW “At Present Rate It Will Pass On Sept. 20, 1946, is McCumber's Estimate. Washington, May b5.—An estimate that at the present rate the pending tariff bill would be passed on Septem- ber 29, 1946, was given to the senate by Senatot McCumber, North Dakota, republican, in charge of the measure. H® said an expert had based his cal- culation on the fact that just two of the 2,000 odd committee amend- ments to the measure had been act- ed dn in thirteen days. Asserting that the tariff bill had not been discussed for one-iifth of the time it had been before the sen- ate, Senator McCumber declared: “We have all gone off on extran- eous matters. lnless we get down to the bill itself, I'll tell you what will happen. You will get tired of hearing your own voices and before you have considered one-third of the bill you will be ready to swallow all of it.”” Senator Curtis, Kansas, republican, suggested night & ions beginning next Monday, saying he ‘thought this would improve the situation. Sena tor McCumber admitted night sessions might become necessary, but he thought if the senate W ould get down to work, meeting from 11 a. m. to 6 p. m., the measure could be passed in a reasonable time.

Enison later told the police that just then he noticed two men peering through the door from the sidewalk and suspected that they were con- federates of the hold-up man, He obeyed the man's command, hut told the youth that there was no need for a pistol display as the robber was welcome to anything of value he cared to take. This statement assured the robber that he would meet with no resistance, and he lowered his pistol a foot or more as Enison started toward him, ‘When within two feet of the visitor, however, the tailor suddenly brought both hands down on the robber’'s arms and threw him to the floor. Then the men rolled up and down, Enison trying all the time to get hold of the weapon. Eventually he man- aged to knock it out of the robber's hand, and, despite. his age, adminis- tered a good drubbing to the fellow. ! Two girls who were passing heard the struggle was in progress. They hurried around to Policeman Krahn, who was regulating traffic at Seventh avenue and Twenty-third street. The policeman jumped onto an automobile and got to the tailor's shop to find Enison holding down his captive with his foot and his neck.q Krahn ar- rested the fellow and examining the pistol found it was empty. At the West Thirtieth street statior] Gamble said that he arrived in this city a few days ago and admitted that the two men that the tailor saw in front of his place were confederates who were to go to his assistance in the event the tailor put up a fight. They ran away, however, at the be- ginning of the fight. Gamble was locked up on charges of robbery aid carrying a pistol.
