WASHINGTON, May 4.-Final ac- ton in the senate by next Wednes- day on the emergency tariff and anti dumping bill appeared probable to- night after the first days discussion. Opponents stated that they would complete their arguments by that date and Senator McCumber, Repub lican of North Dakota, who was in charge of the bill, said he had no ob- jection to offer to the plan-
 Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, of Nebraska, assailed the bill, charging that it's currency conversion provi- sion would 'penalize" American con sumers. He inquired frequently of Republican senators how they recon l ciled that phase with their party declarations for lowered living cost. | The alternative bases of assessingg l duties fixed by the bill would mean an additional tax on the consumer, i he asserted regardless of which was
 used in laying the import duty. Replying, MT. McCumber said that
 in the last analysis, the consumer al-
 ways pays the bill whether the tax

When it became known through the columns of daily paper in Greens boro. N. C.. that real live and kick ing sheriff from the wild and woody state of Arizona had arrived in town to attend the good roads and Bank head highway conventions held April Is to 23, everyone in the town began clamoring to see this sheriff. Every where on the streets, at the conver- ton hall, in the hotels and cafes, the residents of Greensboro were asking for a glimpse of the sheriff from the West.
 They expected from tiie accounts of the Greensboro paper to see a long, lank, leather necked man with a thin, sharp face, wearing chaps, a leather vest, a huge ten-quart hat and car rying two six shooters fastened to a large belt filled with cartridges. What they saw when they located this sheriff from Arizona was the short and jovial Johnny Montgomery, and he didn't even have his gun with him.
 All kinds of people, small boys. small girls, society women, office girls, judges. colonels, Civil war vet erans, came to see him, Sheriff Mont gomery said yesterday upon his ar rival home from the convention. and all were a bit disappointed because he failed to come up to their ideal of an Arizona sheriff as pictured by the
 movies and novels. All had to shake
 hands, the sheriff said, and as re-
 suit they almost wore the skin off his | fingers.
 The whole thing began. the sheriff
 said, after he and Harry E. Vernon,
 county engineer, arrived In Greens | boro for the convention. When they had registered at the hotel and given | the convention hall the once over, | Sheriff Montgomery said to MT Vernon, Harry, we ought to do some
 thing to let people know we are here
 and want the convention for Phoenix
 next year."
 The first thing they did to an
 nounce the fact that Phoenix wanted l fhe convention. the sheriff said, was

Borah Amendment Is Stricken From Naval Budget Bill
[RepubTican A. p. Ieased vIr.1

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Adminis- tration forces won the first skirmish today in the impending senate fight over naval disarmament.
 Guided by the wishes of President Narding, the senate naval committee refused to incorporate in the annual naval appropriation measure the pro- posal of Senator Borah, Republican. of Idaho. authorizing the chief ex- ecutive to invite Great Britain and Japan to send representatives to a disarmament conference.
 Before the committee acted, Sen ator Borah had reintroduced his pro- posal in the senate and moved to sus- pend the rules to make it in order.
 Senator Pomerene, Democrat, of Ohio, gave notice he also intended to present disarmament amendment to the naval bill. His amendment would authorize the president to de- lay the building program six months while an effort was being made to ar range a conference between the United States, Great Britain and Japan. Should an agreement to limit construction be reached, the presi- dent might suspend the building pro- gram in whole or part.
 It is understood administration leaders plan to delay action on pro- posals for international disarmament because of the desire of the president not to have this question initiated in congress in the present state of in I ternational relations.
 As favorably reported today by the naval committee, the annual naval I bill, which failed at the last session provides not only funds for continu- ing construction on the uncompleted 1916 program but also for a personne 20,000 in excess of the 100000 pro- posed by the house. It also carries funds for beginning work on maya bases on the Pacific coast.
 The committee increased the house total of 5000, 900 to s496, 300. 900, ol the same figures in the bill as i failed in the senate last March. Tn, principal increases voted today in
