WANTS HANDS OFF
Harding Leaves Big Tariff
Question Up to Congress.
Dressed For Golf He Announces
His New Decision.

Washington, March 16.-Amid diff
fieulty President Harding is trying to-
day to carry out hands off policy
in his dealings with congress.
He has refused to decide for con-
gress whether It should give revenue
revision or tariff legislation priority
at the coming extra session. Leaders
were urging him in the interest of
party harmony to assert his leader
ship.
Coming in from the golf links late
yesterday, Harding in his golf knick-
ers, sat in his office for an hour
arguing with Senator Penrose, chair
man of the senate finance committee,
and Chairman Fordney of the ways
and means committee, against inter-
fering with the freedom of congress
to map out its own program.
After they had exhausted their
arguments, Harding suggested that
they go back to the hill and make a
thoro canvass of opinion and see then
il decision could not be reached as
to which important subjects should be
taken up first.
and senate leaders to enact at once
an anti-dumping measure designed to
keep out, temporarily, the flood of
cheap labor made goods from Europe
and a bill placing all ad valorem tariff
on the basis of American valuation to
remedy the disadvantage which Amer
lean business suffers because of the
prevailing differences in exchange
rates. But he refused to go farther
than this.

APRIL WEATHER GENERAL
Mild Temperatures Occurred Over
Kansas During Last Week. Al
faIfa and Pastures Starting
Early This Year. Farm Work
Three Weeks Ahead of Season. Z
tBy S. D. Flora. Meteorologlst.,

Mild weather. with temperatures
more like April than March, was gen
eral in central and eastern Kansas this
week. Severe freezes occurred in the
western part of the state, but no dam
age resulted. Light, scattered showers
fell in most sections with from 1 to 2
inches of snow the fore part of the
week in the western third, which
melted rapidly.
Wheat is generally making fine
growth and development and in good
to excellent condition according to the
100 correspondents of the Weather
bureau. There are just a few locali-
ties in the south-central portion where
it is beginning to need moisture rather
badly, but in much of the western
third it is reported as good as ever
known at this time of the year. The
cool weather there has been favorable
for stooling. AS a rule wheat is to 3
weeks ahead of the season and will
probably be jointing in the southeast
quarter in from 10 days to two weeks
and in three weeks as far north as
the Kaw valley. Oats sowing is fin
ished in the southeast portion. where
fields are greening nicely. over the
rest of the state it will require another
week to complete oats sowing. Barley
seeding is general in the western
counties. Planting early potatoes is
well under way in most localities and
a third of it finished in the kaw
valley.
Alfalfa and pastures are starting
early in the eastern half of the state.
Some of the southern counties report
stands of alfalfa that are eight inches
high and in many other localities it
is one to four inches high.
Farm work and early vegetation is
from two to three weeks in advance
of the season. Apricots are in bloom
generally and peaches, pears, and
plums are blooming in the southeast
counties. Fruit growers generally re-
port, however, that apples in their
present condition can stand a temper
ature as low as Is degrees and peach
es in the more northern counties will
be safe at 20 degrees, so it may be
considered that for the present at
least tree fruit is reasonably safe.

SLEW HIS DOUBLE?
Indiana Youth Held by AuthOri-
ties For Murder.
Charged He Tried to Make
Crime Look Accidental.

Warsaw, Indiana, March 16-Virgil
Decker, 19, was under arrest at Mar
ion Ind, today charged with murder
in one of the strangest crime myster-
les that ever came to the attention of
Indiana police authorities. His
mother, Lydia, was held by Bourbon,
Ind. authorities in connection with
the crime.
Leroy Lovett, 19-year-old chum of
Virgil Decker's, was the victim of the
murder Lovett and Decker were
doubles" one often being mistaken
for the other.
Lovett's body was found Saturday
struck a buggy standing at cross
ing. The body was identified by mem
bers of the Decker family as that of
Virgil. Both Decker and LoVett had
disappeared.
Decker carried a $4,000 accident
insurance policy with provisions for
double payment in case of accidental
death. Insurance investigators, work
ing with local authorities, discovered
that no horse had been hitched to the
buggy standing across the tracks.
Authorities claim Decker killed Lovett
so that his family might collect the
insurance, after identifying the body
as that of Virgil.
A coroner's verdict decided that
death had been caused by gunshot
wounds instead of by the train strik-
ing the buggy. Lovetts relatives
identified the body positively as that
of Leroy. The body was clad in cloth
ing belonging to Virgil Decker.
