VOL. LXIV—NO. 89, POPULATION 29,685 NORWICH, , CONN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 1922 PRESENTED IN ADMINSTRATION TARIFF BILL THE SENATE Treasury Experts Say That the New Measure Probably Would Raise Between $330,000 and $350,000 in Revenue, Against an Estimate of $300,000 For the Fordney Bill, Which Passed the House Last July 1—Would Return | to the Foreign Valuation Principle, as Suggested by Pres- ident Harding—Debate Will Consume Not Less Than Sixty Days Washingtor, April 11 The long awalted ad on tarift bill presented today in the senate, Sena- »r MoCumber, republican, North Dakota, n charge of the measure announced that o give senators time to study it he would not call it up before April 20. Scme re- pdblican leaders thought it would be pass- ed after about s of debate but sther estimates ranged as high as three months. Experts who assisted the senate finance committes majority to propare the bill es- timate that the average of its rates is slightly higher than the averags of ths Payne-AMrich law, the last republican tariff act. The Payne-Aldrich level was approximately 41 per cent. on all dutfable imorts and 21 per cent. on all imports fres and dutisble. The average of the demoeratio Underwood tariff, which the new bill would replace was 37.60 and 14.88 per cent. respectively, in 1914, the first year of its operation and the only year when trals was not seriovsly affected by the world war or after the war condltions. Aversge of All Rates Lower Comparing this bill with the Fordney measure, which the house phssed last July 21, and of which this a rewrits, the «xperts estimate that the awerage of all rates is jower, though the mpecific rates «nd mors particolarly thoss on foodstuffs are somewhat higher. Exsot comparisons of the ad vmlorem duttes in the two bills somewhat difficult, dus to the fact hat the senate committss threw overboard the house American valustion plan, re- turning to the forelen valnation principle. Whils they have not comeieted all cal- culations. treasury experts say that the sanate messure Drobably would raise be- tween $330,070.000 and $360,900,000 in Tevenme en compared with the estimate of $300,000,000 for the Fordney bill and the $308,000:000 of revenue returned In the calendar year 1921 from the joint opera- tion of the Underwod and the emergency tarif? act. Forelgn Valuatton Prinetple In returning to the forelgn valuation principle, the senate committes majority carrled out suggestions of President Harding to congress last December for & flexiie tart?. Under special provisions in the measure, the president, in the lang age of the majority report which ac mpanied the bill, would be authorized: “To modMfy tarift rates either upwar ¢ downward within prescribed Hmits ver cent) and in accordance with definite rules 1afd down by congress =0 that rates may at all timé conform to existing con- aitions. “To changs tha basis for the assesement of ad valorem duties on selectsd items from the forefgn valus to the value of the dgmestic article in the American market When the forefgn value is not & certain basis for the assessment of Gutles on vuch ftems. “To imgons penskty dutles or prohibit the tmportation of particular goods for | purgoss of preventing unfair methods \f campetition in the importation of goods “To impose additional duties on tho hole or any part of the fmports into ghe Unitéd States from any country which discriminates against our overseas cgm- merce. Thess additfonal dutles ara limit- 1to the amount of the discriminafion but ¢ the disertmination is maintained, the portation of merchandise may be pro- fted.” Asserting that these slastic tariff pro- sitions were regarded by the commit- s as “undoubtedly constitutional” the report declar=d that they would “contri- ste to tarift stability by preventing the cumrsation of cases which ultimately force the upheaval of & genergl tariff re- ston.” Tt added that investigations of posstble tarift changes would be carried t under judiciel procedure and that the e interested would be given an op- srtunity to be heard.

Democratic members »f the committee present voted against it Aud were given ten days in which to pres pare their minority report and also for the fight which they plan to launch against it immediately after it is called up. The charge of secrecy in the prepara- tion of the bill was raised promptly In the senate from the democratic side. Senator Harrison; of Mississippl, oall- ed attention that the bill was introduc- ed today during an executive session of the senate and added: “It was perfectly natural that it should be dome in secrecy Oppesition Not Confined te Democrats. Opposition will not be oonfined to the democratio side. Senator Smoot of Utah, ranking repubiican on the finance com- mittee plans to take to the floor his fight for dutles on sugar higher than the two cents a pound on full duty and 1.60 cents @ pound on Cuban raw, which are now In force in the emergency taroft and which the committes recom- mended. Immediately after the bill was intro- duced the effort to Taise the seven cents a pound rate on long staple cotton now in the emergency law and approved by the committee was launched, Sena- tor Cameron, republican, Arozina, intro- ducing an amendment to make the rate 15 cents, the figure urged by pro- ducers of this cotton in his and other southwestern states and by the repub- lican egricultural tariff bloc. Short sta- plo ocotton is retained on the free list but opposition is promised to some of the rates proposed on cotton goods which in some instances are higher than those in ths Payne-Aldrich bill, One of the principle schedulés in the new bill is that dealing with agricul- tural products. In includes most items of foodstuffs many of which were on the free list i the Underwood bill and includes a duty of 30 cents a bushel on wheat as under the emergency law but 5 cents higher than proposed in the Ford- mey bill. The compensatory .duty on flour was placed at 78 cents per 100 pounds as compared to 50 cents in the Fordney bfl, and 25 per cent. ad valo- in the Payne-Aldrich bill, In framing this sdhedule the pom- mitt majority gave the republican agri- cultural tariff bloc about the Tates_ ask- ed for but committeo experts said that with few exceptions the dutles wauld 0t exceed 25 pe rcent. ad valorem. Bx- plaining the schedule fn its report the majorfty said it had “adopted the poli- cy of giving to agriculture the measurs of protection that has been accorded to other industries with due consideration to the needs of all sections and of all industries Some of the more fmpartant schedules are: Agricultural Products and Provisios.

The moment the secretary's letter was read Representative Garreit, of ‘Lemies see, the democratic leader, ‘“challeniged the doctrine as laid down in the first of- ficlal wtterance before us that congress was 'b;)find io keap the navy up to the mark sfipulated by treaty.* In a letter to Representative Rogers, re- publican, Massachusetts, who had asked his opinion because of his work as chairman of the confcrence, Mr. Hughes said he had been advised by“%he naval ex- Dperts that the enlisted strength as provid- ed in the bill was far below the number required to main the navy on the basis contemplated by the treaty. Taking issue with the secretary, Mr. Garrett declared he did not believe con- gress was bound to keep the navy up to the conference agrecment. “The question of size may be open to argument,” said Mr. Garrett, “but all that is binding under the treaty is that we shall not go above the 5-5-3 ratio. We are. not bound Tegally or morally to kee> to that point if in our discretion we deem it wise to come below. I challenge the doctrine that congress Is bound to keep the navy to a certain mark. We cannot exceed it but the treaty cannot take from. congress the power to make it less If it sees fit. While the debate on the bill continued 2ll day. varied_at times by discussion of othef subjects, opponents of the 65,000 en- listed provision were at work rounding up promlaes to suprort an amendment mak- ing the total 80,000, the number claimed to have heen urged” by the president. There will be another full day of oratory tomarrow befors the house begins consid- eration of items. Chairman Kelley, in charge of the bill stuck to his post throughout the day, clashing often with members opposinz him particularly with Representative Britten, Illinois. ranking republcan of the naval commttee. Representative ~ Gallivan, democrat, Massachizsetts one of the active leaders for an increase put friends and_foes in £ood humor by attcking wht he described as an effort to scrap the real navy to make room for a prohibition navy. There was a roar from members when M. Gal- livan pictured the rum running outfit with the prohibition commissioner “as Admiral Haynes, lashed to the mast and giving th ecommand to go ahear and damn the runners and their explosive beverag- es” Nearly averybody will have a aance to talk before the end {s reached. Just as the house quit work for the day thers was presented a pctition from a woman's club of Reno urging reduction of arma- ment. But most of the women who pack- ed the galleries attemnted to appland nearly every demand on the floor for a force bisger than that fixed by the bill.

Fight in House to (Big Eain hy;‘Wets” | Defeat Naval Bil] But “Drys” Triumph Inthe 37thN. Y. Congreuwn- al District Election—Cities Vote “Wet”, Rural Districts ‘Dryll' 7 i Corning, N. Y, April 11—With the normal republican plurality greatly’ re- duced, the 37th congressional district to- day elected Lewis Henry, republican, of Elmira, to the hoise of representatives to fill the vacancy caused by the resig- nation of Alanson B. Houghton, now United Staies amlassador to Berlin. Henry’s plurality over Judge Frank Ir- vine, democrat, of Ithaca, was 3,087. The vote in the five counties which make up the district was Henry 20,799; Ir- vine 17,712. In 1920 the vote in the dis- trict was Houghicn, republican, 51,512, Durham, democrat, 21,762. Opponents of prohibition tonight were hailing the result as a victary in spite of the fact that Jupdge Irvine, who ran on a platform of opposition to the Vol- stead act, was defeated. They polnted to the fact that a republican plurality ofn nearly 30,000 in 1920 had been re- duced to 3,000, with nearly half of the total vote cast. They also regarded as significant the fact that Judge Irvine carried every city in the district. All of the municipalities had voted for pro- hibition under the state local option act in 1918, before the advent of the mation- al prohibition. Judge Irvine carried Elmira by 1,769, Corning by 625, Hornell by $59 and Ithaca by 268. He carried Chemung county by 368 but lost all of the other counties. COAL STRIKE SPREADING IN NON-UNION STRONGHOLDS New York, April 11.—A rapid spread of the coal strike into non-union strong- holds was admifted today at headquar- ters of the bituminous operators’ asso- clations. “The enemy Is gaining ground much faster than we anticipated,” said the president of a Pennsylvania company. Philip Murray, vice president of the Mine Workers' international, apsserted that the ranks of the strikers in both bituminous and anthracite fields had been swelled by nearly 100,000 since the walkout and the production of non-union mines qut by several milllon tons weekly. Anthracite producers, in their first in- ning before the miners’ and pperators’ sub-committee on wage contract negot ations, today concentrated their attack upon the miners' demands—the establish- ment of uniform wages for “dead” work and for operators of mechanical load- ers. Both sides looked upon this session as & mero skirmish, preliminary to @ prolonged battle over the chief issue in the present strike. It was conceded that the big strusgle would develope in the operators’ opposition to the strikers' de- mands for a 20 per cent. increase for contradt workers and a, minimum of 5,209 - SHift fof dayiwoker. ' o - At*the close of thte conference miners’ delegates said they were “anxiously walting” to learn what percentage of reduction in wages the operators, in ac- cordance with thair declaration three weeks ago, would seek to enforce im settlement of the strike. The operators themselves said they ‘“would not talk figures until all the minor difficulties had been ironed out.” The predicted they would require at least three weeks to outline their case. FRANK JANCAREK NOT GUILTY MUEDERE OF JANETTE LAWRENCE Morristown, N. J., April 11—Frank Jancarck was tonight found not guilty of the murder of Janette Lawrence, 11- year-old Madison, N. J. school _girl, Whose mutilated-body was found in Klux- en_woods, October 6, 1921, The jury returned its verdict before Supreme Court Justice Parker at 7.65 o'clock, after deliberating less than two hours, & Jancarek was indicted last November by a grand jury that at the same time dismissed charges against Francis Kluxen, 15-year-old youth, at first ar- rested on suspicion of connection with the crime. A conféssion Jancarek was alleged to have made to “Siim” McGrory, star witness for the prosecution, was re- sponsible dor his arrest. The trial, originally set for February, was postponed at the last minute when an inmate of the Hospital for the Insane at Islip, Long Island, “confessed” to kili- ing a girl in Madison on October 6. In- vestigation by county authorities, how- ever, failed to bear out his story and the ‘clue was dismissed. Bitter feellng existed during the inves- tigation of the murder Detween officials of the town of Madison and those of Morris county.

Most of the powers have shown a dls- position to abandon war hatreds, The Russians and Germans were permitted to mpeak at the opening_session as an ey dence of forgiveness, although France resisted this courtesy. The conditions of Cannes resolutions and the agenda agreed upon were accepted by all the na- tlons, although M. Chitcherin insisted up- on speaking for disarmament and threat- ens to do o repeatedly at succeeding sessions. However, he has mid that he would not insist upon consideration of disarmament as part of the agenda. Russia .is growling about Japan and Rumania occupying part of her terri- tory, and France bristles all over when Germany and Russia are shown any con- sideration. But there is a sort of armed neutrality @nd there are indications that the irreconcilables wHl become more tractable as the days préceed and will actually consider the Cannes agenda, leaving land disarmament untouhed ex- eept for occasional bursts of oratory. Tt is expected that the conference will take a vacation on Good Friday and Easter Sunday and Monday. The sub-commission of the firet com- mission held a short session this after- noon, Chancellor Wirth and Dr. Rathe- nau of Germany, and M. Krassin, of Rus- sia, also being present. The proceedings were friendly. Mr. Lioyd George pro- posed that Slgnor Schanzer, of Italy, act as chairman, and then moved that the re- port of the London experts on Russia should be circulated. .
