FORDNEY BILL
NOT TO PASS IN
SAME OLD FORM
Many Chsy,ges VIII
Be Made IL Tariff
Measure.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE,
Especial to Tha APgual


Warrington. March 22.-The de-
cision Of the Republican leaders
in congress in agreement with
President Harding to pass the Ford
ney emergency tariff bill in the
same form AZ It was vetoed by
Woodrow Wilson at the last SEES
sion Of congress should be taken
with grain of salt.
: An emergency tariff bill will
be passed-that much IL certain
but many things point to the prob
ability Of = revision Of the Ford
ney measure before It can pass.
Everybody knows that the Ford
ney bill a. 1t passed both houses
during the last session would new
er have had q ghost of q show Of
passage IL there had been the slight
est chance Of approval by Mr.. Will
son. Accordingly many things
were. inserted in the bill, partly
out Of q desire to satisfy certain
constituents and partly out of An
effort to make sure that the bill
would be sufficiently obnoxious to
the Democratic executive as to
bring about its veto.
Leading Republicans have pri-
vately condemned the Fordney bill
as unscientifc. The plan to re-
vive the measure and put It
through both houses in the same
form as it was passed will not sue
ceed because many American busi-
ness houses affected by the meas
ure will demand hearings and sub
seQuent changes in the bill. When
once the Fordney bill is opened up,
other changes will be insisted upon.
President Harding himself has al
ready made one change-a request
that the measure apply for siz
months instead of ten. This will
affect certain schedules because al
ready certain changes in economic
conditions have occurred which
render necessary q readjustment.
Senator Penrose has indicated
that he means to 90 along with the
plan to pass the Fordney measure
which he originally wanted killed
There's q story that Mr.. Penrose
turned the management Of the bill
in the senate over to Senator Nc
Cumber Of North Dakota in the
belief that the latter by q combina-

Annie Millspaugh, 81, lives near

conduct the search for the bible.
Bakers Story.
According to Bakers story, Col.
Baker had son, William Baker,
who was the father of James w
Baker. William died during the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition
here.
William Baker had a sister, Mrs.
Sallie Draper. She lived near Nor
ris City, and died in 1892, leaving
two children, Eunice, now living in
Eldorado, ILL.,, and George, who
lives in Arkansas.
These two with the two previous
ly mentioned are the sole heirs to
the Baker estate" valued, accord
Ting to the only available figures at
approximately 100000.
Nearly a century ago Col. Baker
leased the holdings in the heart Of
the present Philadelphia for a term
of 80 years. The real estate at the
end Of that time together with all
improvements was to revert to the
heirs of the lessor. The 500 acres
Of land described as the Baker es-
tate" is tenanted now by factories
skyscrapers anj mansions, until its
value is nearly unestimable.
James W. Baker softly tells an
interviewer that he has been work
ing on his lineage for some time.
He said this morning as he left for
Norris City, I'm going to get a
line on myself from some of the
old timers who knew dad"

"My one aim in life," Jim said, ''is

Evidence already before you
