Experts Disagree
On New Tariff Idea
I'm Senate Hearing
Commission Members Opin-
ions Clash OH Valuation
Provisions Included in
Bill That Fordney Fathers

WASHINGTON, July 25.---Disagree-
ment Of experts as to the practicability
of American valuation provisions pro-
posed in the Fordney tariff bill marked
the first consideration given the meas
ure to-day by the Senate Finance Com
mittee. The committee heard state
ments by Thomas Walker Page, chair
man, and William Burgess, a member,
Of the Tariff Commission, but their
views differed widely as to what eff
feet the suggested basis Of levying inn
port duties would have on the con-
sumner on the one hand and on the
manufacturer and merchant on the
other.
Mr.. Page contended the new plan
meant higher prices on American com
modities which compete with imports
subjected to the import tax, while his
colleague on the commission held that
pyramiding Of prices was no more
likely to result under the home value
basis than under the present system of
assessing duties on the foreign value.
Designedly, the American valuation
plan is to defeat differentiation of i'm
ports and therefore gather more rev.
enue, but the object. Mr.. Page said,
was phantomlike in character, for the
reason that little fraudulent valuation
had taken place.
Mr.. Burgess submitted figures which
he declared showed naturalization Of
imports in 1920 to have been discov-
cred in Is per cent of all shipments
subject to ad valorem rates.
Mr.. Burgess told the committee there
was no other method by which the gov-
eminent justly could levy assessments
on imports in view Of the f1uctuating
exchange rates.
Objection to the proposed change
was voiced by Mr.. Page on the ground
that 1t meant disturbing further an
already chaotic commerce. He felt that
the element of doubt and uncertainty
winch would enter into business trans
actions for the next few years war
ranted that the change be deferred
until conditions are more favorable.
lhe international economy situation.
Mr.. Page explained. should be given an
opportunity to right iself before this
government should attempt what he
called a radical departure from proven
methods at the custom house.
Mr.. Page said, however, that the
plan could be developed, and he be-
lieved that if given time it could he
made practicable. He mentioned as
another danger" the extension of $50
much responsibility and power" to
customs appraisers.
The power opposed by Mr.. Page
would be turned to the account Of the
government itself, according to Mr..
Burgess, who declared that, under the
American valuation, control Of the i'm
ports for the first time rested fully
with the American government. He
ADDED that fol. the same reasons, dip
lomatic entanglements would be avoid
ed and questions of enforcement Of
the law would be disposed of without
delay or difficulty.

Investigation by the adjutant gen

active duty with the Naval Reserves
during the war and that publication of
his name was due to the fact that the
draft board officials had no knowledge
of such service.

Engineer Seeks Man He Says
Is Spirit of HIis Dead Brother
Believes That Child Was Reborn in Period Of July
22-25, 1895, and Ii Sure He Saw Him
ON the Subway 2 Years Ago

An attempt to penetrate the veil Of
death and find in the living body Of
another person the spirit of brother,
dead twenty years, Is the task set for
himself by q young electrical engineer,
Reid Davies. who has essayed this task
with the utmost confidence that his
theory of recurrent human existence
contains the key to "the raising of the
dead"
The first news of Mr.. Davies's re-
markable effort became known through
an advertisement inserted in New York
papers last week, seeking correspond
ence with persons born within the
period Of July % to 25. 1895. In this
advertisement the young engineer
frankly stated his object was to find
his dead brother.
died. the advertisement stated. "There
is scientific basis for the theory that
this chid's spirit pursued continuous
existence on earth and experienced
another physical birth about July 90 to
25, 1896"
Like First Half of a Novel
The detailed explanation of this ap-
parently psychica and mysterious
'~1eA S' hcNcoio tHcOIy tIltL seems
weird in the telling, but which in the
end leaves one, like the first half of
q novel, eagerly awaiting the next in
sttallment, which has not as yet been
written in human experience
Mr.. Davies's brother died when he
was five years old, and at the moment
OF his death the first line of this story
was begun. Mr.. Davies, then only
seven years old, lay i'll of the same
disease in an adjoining room and, at
the moment that the younger brother
passed away, he heard voice, which
he described as an echo of "the voice
of Christ on the Cross" say: go to
Reid, mamma. He wants you"
Both the voice and his love for the
dead brother remained steadfastly in
the boys mind These were wildly
refreshed for him six years later when
another brother passed through crisis
IN an illness. And all through the
years that followed there existed q
feeling of inexplicable nearness be-
tween himself and the spirit of the
departed brother. SO strong has this
feeling been that it has exerted a
marked influence on his life.
Noted Change Two Years Ago
Year before last, Mr.. Davies declares,
a change occurred in his life. The very
air seemed charged with a promise Of
greater things and the lines of his life
to converge to the start of a new life.
Then, as if in fulflment of this
premise, he recognized in q fellow
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-07-26

traveller in tho subway the spirit Of
his lost brother. Both he and the man,
he declares. were stunned by the mr-
tual recognition. They could not keep
their eyes off each other, and the
other seemed "as a man might look
whose heart and mind were cropping in
4ho dim past for sleeping memory"
Mr.. Davies was too stunned too ex-
cited to speak, he says, but after sew
eral minutes he lost sight of the man.
From this meeting and the convic-
ton which came with it there sprang q
belief in the rebirth of souls upon the
death Of the body.
Mr.. Davies, in support of his psychi-
cal feeling that he has actually seen
tho reborn person. Of his dead brother,
declares that there was physical
likeness between the man and another
of his brothers, who closely resemb1ed
the dead brother when small boy.
This likeness, however, was to be
seen only after the spiritual recogni-
ton.
To Apply Psychological Tests
The seeker has devised certain
psychological tests with which to meet
those responding to his advertisement,
and which he believes will prove con-
EIu5IVely WHeJneT OF HOC any one Oh
them is his brother.
His theoretical beliefs regarding
the present person of his brother is
that he is man of Celtic or Anglo
Saxon ancestry, poor or in modest cir
cumstances, devoted to work resulting
in direct benefit to other people, and
born about July %, 1896, with pos
sible leeway of week on either side.
He will require Of any person CORE
spending with him proof that he ap-
proximates these conditions. And in
addition the correspondent must have
Of himself taken at the
age Of four and half years, and a
character sketch of himself at the
same age, written by his mother or
a close relative.
Mr. Davies calls attention to the
fact that he is in extremely moderate
circumstances and that no person
stands to benefit financially by cor
responding with him. He has gone to
greater expense than he could easily
bear, in advertising and in preparing
for distribution, and he Of
fers this fact as proof of his sin
certy. Any one seeing, or talking with
Mr.. Davies would not ask proof of
his earnestness. He is an old-young
man, with CRAVING hair, and frank,
intellectual face.
His theory, and the facts upon which
it was built, should, at the least, create
attention, coming as they do at
time when the world is delvng into
psychical research

Another development of to-day was
the discovery that signed statement,
made by Williams in the Office of AL
fred Austrian, attorney for the White
Sox, has disappeared from Austrians
files. In this statement, which was
made public by Austrian when Williams
went before the grand jury, the ball
played detailed the qualifications of the
alleged plot to lose the 1919 worlds
series.
When Documents Were Lost
The grand jury evidence apparently
dropped from sight during the confu-
sion incident to the retirement OF
States Attorney Maclay Hoyne and the
taking over of the Office by States At
torney Grove. The papers were last
seen, so far as can be learned, about
three days before Hoyne's term ended,
when Horne's secretary, George Ken
ney, clashed with Assistant States At
torney Replogle in charge of the inves-
tigation, after Kenney had demanded
that the grand jury records be turned
over to him. Replogle finally surrend-
cred the documents after receiving or
ders from Hoyne.
The papers are said to have ap
peared in New York during the hear
ing of the extradition proceedings
against Abe Attell, who has been named
by Bill Burns, a state witness, as a
ringleader in the alleged plot. An at
attorney for Attell, waving some
papers in court, declared ~ have here
