HIS "HUNCH" WAS CORRECT
Actors Assertion That Someone In the
Audience Had Bottle Quickly
Proved True.

A peculiar incident happened in a
local theater, which provided enough
comedy to make the performance very
amusing. In one of the acts, prohibit
ton was made the butt OF all the ac-
tors jokes, and he happened to be one
OF those fellows who makes reference
to the audience.

Hardly had the laughter subsidized
when there was "plunk," as bottle
dropped accidentally from the grasp
of someone down in front. 1t happened
just at the opportune moment and the
house went into roarS of laughter.
Whoever dropped 1t made no attempt
to reclaim 1t, even though the bottle
might have contained anything from
milk to medicine. But the M. A. II.

EMERGENCY TARIFF
MEASURE PASSED
PROVIDES INCREASED RATES OF
DUTY ON A SCORE OF AGRl-
CULTURAL COMMODITIES.
Anti-Oumping and Foreign Exchange
Sections Included in Legislation
Designed for the Relief
of the Farmer.

Washington.-With party lines fair
ly Glossy drawn, the house Friday
night, April 10, passed the emergency
tariff bill by vote of 260 to H., with
two recorded us present. Half dozen
Republicans voted against the bill and
nearly dozen Democrats supported
1t, but the OBJECTIONS on both sides
were fewer in number than when the
measure was under consideration In
the last session.
Action on the bill came at the end
of five hours consideration of the
various sections under the five-min-
ute rule. Numerous amendments were
offered by the Democrats and few by
Republicans, but all were voted down
upon the inslstence of Chairman Ford
ney of the ways ana means commit
tee.
The bill as passed provides Increased
rates of duty on score of different
agricultural commodities. this portion
of the measure being Identical with the
bill as vetoed by former President VIII
son. The new parts of the bill, which
may cause some difficulty in the SEN
ate, are anti-dumping provisions, de-
signed to prevent the sale of foreign
goods below the fair value in the home
country, as Il means of destroying
American industries, and a provision
for the regulation of foreign exchange.
The anti-dumping provisions, and the
scheme to regulate foreign exchange
apply to the present Underwood act,
as well us TO the rates of duty pro-
vided in the new emergency measure.
Under the scheme to regulate foreign
exchange, collectors of customs, in
computing import duties, will consider
that no foreign currency has depreciat-
ed in value more than 66 2-3 per cent,
the effect of this being to boost i'm
port duties on goods from Germany 500
per cent.
This Is designed as temporary mea-
sure to remain in effect only until the
permanent tariff bill Is enacted into
law, the present plan being to incor-
porate In the permanent bin pro-
vision for the basing of import duties
on the American valuation instead of
the present foreign value, thus elimi-
mating the foreign exchange factor.

NO RESUMPTION OF
TRADE WITH RUSSIA
5oLsHEVIk TRADE HAZARDOUS,
SECRETARY HUGHES INFORMS
SAMUEL GoMPERS.
Soviet Russia Is a Gigantic Economic
Vacuum, With No Evidence That
Unfortunate Situation Is Likely
to Improve, Says Hughes.

Washington. Secretary Hughes,
writing to Samuel Campers, who asked
for statement of the facts" regard
Ing Russia, indicates definitely that
there Is no prospect of a resumption
of relations with the United States
while the soviet political and eco
monte system remains.
The letter replies to various state
ments characterized as propaganda
which contend resumption of relations
with the sOviets would open great
current of trade of advantage to the
United States and that large ship
ments of Russian gold have been
made to other countries In payment for
goods.
Soviet Russia, the secretary declares,
Is gigantic economic vacuum" and
he adds that mo evidence exists that
the unfortunate situation is likely to
be alleviated so long as the present
system continues"
There have been since December 10,
Secretary Hughes says, no restrictions
on financial transactions between the
United States and Russia, although
there is no assurance that the mint or
the reserve banks will accept Rus
sian gold.
In reality, the secretary says. trans
fers of Russian gold to other coun-
tries have been small and at the most
liberal estimates the sovlets have not
more than $175,000,O00 gold. Even i'm
mediate expenditure of the whole
amount in the United States, he says
would have no lasting effect on Amer
lean trade or industry and it might
take away the scant hope left of a
sound reorganization of the Russian
system of currency and finance"

AMERICA TO STAND
UPON HER RIGHTS
HUGHES STRONGLY DlssENTs
FROM JAPAN's CLAIMS AS
TO ISLAND OF YAP.
AS No One Had Authority to cede
the Rights Of United States in Is
land, Government viii Not Rec.
ognize Validity Of Mandate.

Washington The American and
Japanese governments have adopted
equally firm attitudes as TO the status
of the island of zap. Diplomatic ex-
changes are continuing, but those to
date were made public on April Is in
Washington and Toxic. They consist
Of two memoranda and three formal
notes.
Japan in Its last communication, re
ceivcd late in the Wilson adminstra-
ton, insisted II had been awarded Il
mandate for the island by The supreme
council, May Z, 1919, and that 1t could
not agree with the American cOnten-
ton that, irrespective OF any award Of
mandate, other nations should have
free access TO the island for cables.
Ia replying, Secretary Hughes on
April , stated that the United States
could not he bound by action either
OF The supreme council or of the league
of nations, and that, as no one had
been authorized to surrender or cede"
tie right of the United States in the
island, the American government could
not recognize the ALLEGATION of the is
land or the validity of the mandate.
Japan Is now considering this com
munication Great Britain, France and
Italy also have before them similar
notes. Exchanges between the four
governments are understood to be un-
der way with view to reaching an
accord
Meantime, however, France, in
preliminary reply, stated that the
matter Is one for the supreme council
TO consider in May and that Nhen IT
comes up she win approach It with a
view To finding n solution giving every
satisfaction to the United States.
The viewpoint of the Harding ad-
ministratlon, as explained Monday, Is
that the question of whether the SUI
preme councll-did actually award the
island To Japan on May Is OF sec
Ondary Importance.
The important point at issue, 1t is
emphasized, Is recognition by tho
allied governments of the principle laid
down 10y Mr.. llughes-that the United
States, as a principal allied and as
sociaied power, has an equal right in
the former German colonies, and that
those rights cannot be disposed of
without consent of the American gov
ernment.

Reds and Art.

The Russian Reds are guilty of much
rough work, but it appears that they
do sometimes know and reverence the
treasures Of art. The famous Her
mitage gallery In Petrograd has been
reopened and again all the paintings
1t once contained, except few unim
portant ones, are hung. In this collec-
ton are great masterpieces bearing the
names of Titan, Van Dyck, Rem
brandt, Velasquez and Murillo. The
Bolsheviki removed the paintings to
Moscow in the spring of 1913 when IL
was feared the Germans would capture
Petrograd, and the priceless paintings
were placed In the hands of n commit
tee at the head of which Is the novel
list, Maxim Gorky. Private collections
which the owners turned over to the
Gorky committee are also safe.

NEW YORK. Sept. .l-Like the
redskins in Clusters last stand"
the Cleveland Indians wiped out the
New York Yanks here this after
noon, Led by the Big Chief. iris
Speaker. the Ohio tribe won an easy
victory at ste and earned draw
In the little world series" TO date.
Thirty-five thousand fans sat on
the rim Of the battlefield and saw
the Ysnks get scalped by the toma-
hawk in the hands OF young Georg,
Uhle. the graduate Of the Cleve-
land sand lots.
Uhle's pitching tells the whole
story. His trUsty right pushed the
Yanks away every time they ad-
vanced. He held ''Murderer's Row"
to four measly little hits.- The
great Bambino Ruth confined his
days swinging 20 one single. and
lanky Bob Meusel.. the second barrel
OF the Yanks' big gun, went hit
less, -
Harper Falls I'm Pinch.
AS pitching de luxe gave the In
dams the game. the lack of Il
inc iahhs 10 tue BrOuhO
with a smash.
Harry Harper, the Hackensack
southpaw, whose recent perform
ances made him look like the
Yanks' saviour. was sent out by
Huggins to send a bodyblow into
the Indians.
He started in Impressive fashion,
but the Indians started waiting him
out in the third inning and he
couldn't find the plate. He escaped
luckily with one run on three
passes. a single and two errors.
Still playing the waiting game.
the Indians got to the southpaw
again in the fourth inning. Three
walks and two doubles scored four
runs and he was chased 20 the
showers. Bob Shawkey. the sailor,
was rushed to the relief.
The former COB went well until
the sixth inning when three more
Indian spikes cut the plate on
Babe" Ruth's muff. a pass, two
singles and an infield out.
With the cause lost. Ruth was
taken out after the sikh inning
and allowed to sit on the bench
10 rest the wrist that he hurt yes
terday in sliding to second base.
Caldwell and Mays Today.
After the fourth inning, Uhle
was never in trouble. He was
wild when he started and the
Yanks were connecting, even
though the drives were all easy
chances. Starting with the fifth
inning, the young Indian hurler
found himself and the Yanks were
done. as they plainly showed.
Iris Speaker, the leader OF the
champion pack, pulled his lame
knee out Of the dugout and went
back into the battle to rally his
band.
He failed to get a hit and most
of his territory in the field was
covered by his two running mates.
The Speaker spirit was very mani
fest. however, in the entire club.
Victory over the Tanks made the
count l-all in the series and
brought the Indians back to with
in two points of the lead. The
moral effect OF the victory, how
ever, is much greater, as Harper
was regarded a sure winner by
the New Workers, while Uhle was
considered doubtful in amy game.
The third game of the series to-
morrow is expected to draw forty
thousand spectators. Ray Cald-
well, former Yankee. is expected to
serve his spitball to the Yanks
