FORDNEY TO SEE
HARDING ON TARIFF
Leaves for St. Augustine to
Take Up Plan for New
Emergency Bin.

Chairman Fordney Of the House ways
and means committee left today for st.
Augustine. Fla. to seek the approval
Of President-elect Harding to a plan to
put through at the extra session of the
new Congress this spring a second ener-
gency tariff to provide protection for all
products Of American Industry
The measure Mr.. Fordney has in
mind would be designed as a stoppage
until scientific tariff law could be
framed in the light of after-the-war con-
ditions in the various countries.
Before his departure Mr., Fordney
discussed the program with several re-
publican members of his committee. and
was said to have obtained their support
of the proposed plan. He was quoted
as having declared it impossible to write
the permanent tariff and obtain its
passage in time to check the usual Dump
ing OF foreign goods in America. in
anticipation Of enactment of new tariff
law.
Committee members said reports had
reached them that the dumping already
was under way.
Supporters of the proposal said the
rates would have to be "guesses." but
would be based on information gathered
in the tariff hearings just concluded.
should the permanent rates be lower
;aaE those in the emergency bill. re-
bates would be made to importers. but
should the emergency rates be higher
than the permanent ones adopted later
importers would not be asked to pay the
differences, it was said.

PROTECTION OF LAWS
OF DISTRICT BRINGING
FLOCKS OF DUCKS HERE

The appearance over the city OF
large fiocks of ducks in the past
week is due more to the enforce
ment of the new bird law of the
District than to what is considered
by many as a harbinger OF early
spring. according to DIR. William
Palmer, ornithologist of the Smith
sonian institution
DR.. Palmer said that since the
killing of ducks after February 1
was prohibited by law. the birds
return early to the river to feed.
and that the longer protection is
assured them the greater will be
the number to return each year.
In the old days. when the ducks
were not shot, thousands and thou
sands of them could be seen feed
ing on the river around George
town. but when hunters began to
go after them they gradually stop
ped congregating in this locality"
said Dr. Palmer.
THE freezing of the river usually
drives them south. but as that did
not occur this year il is nothing
more than natural that the birds
return early to procure their feed"
he continued. IF the Potomac did
not freeze they would not leave
this locality at all"

TENOR'S CONDITION
REMAINS CRITICAL
Caruso Sees Son and Gets
Sympathetic Messages
From All Parts.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, February 17.-The con-
dition of Enrico Caruso. world-famous
grand opera singer, continues "unsatis-
factory and critical" according to a
statement issued by DIR. Francis j.
Murray, one of his attending physi-
clans, shortly after $40 O'Clock this
morning.
''Caruso's condition is as unsatisfac-
tory this morning." he said. "as 1t was
yesterday morning. 1 cannot express
my opinion one way or the other. HIS
condition is very critical. and we can
not get away from that fact.
An official bulletin issued shortly be-
fore noon by his staff of physicians said
"Mr. Caruso is still severely i'll.
There Is no material change in his
condition for better or for worse"
Word also reached the newspaper
men that the singer had rallied from
a second relapse early this morning,
but was again very weak. Twelve
tanks Of oxygen. it was learned, were
sent up to the Caruso apartments dur
ing the night.
Mr.. Caruso's sixteen-year-old son.
Enrico, jr., who was called home from
school at Culver Military Academy.
Indiana, arrived shortly before 10
o'clock, accompanied by Eruno Zirato,
the tenor's private secretary. Enrico,
jr., was crying as he passed through
the crowds in the hotel lobby. He
went imm ediately to his fathers sick
room.
The boy forced a smile. however,
when he entered his fathers room.
Mr.. Caruso was visibly pleased at see
ing his son and greeted him with a
feeble but cheerful handclasp. The
interview was very brief, because 1t
was feared his sons prolonged pres
ence might cause overexcitement.s
Messages Of sympathy continued to-
day to pour into the Caruso apart
ment fr I'm all parts of the world. They
came from London. Paris and Rome,
from Havana and Buenos Aires. from
every country In which the tenor's
voice is known.
There came,r too. a telegram from
Joseph p. Tumulty, secretary to Presi-
dent Wilson, but the text was not
made public. Among callers today
wss Mayor Hylan. who left his card.
So many admirers have been col
lecting about the Vanderbilt Hotel,
where the singer is confined, that a
special police guard had to be sta
toned this morning to keep the crowd
moving. Telephone operators at the
hotel have been working overtime. re-
plying to inquiries regarding Caruso's
condition. Many of these calls came
from fellow w-countrymen hardly able

port on the measure

Needed School Buildings.
Senator Curtis of Kansas. who has
had charge of the District bill in the
Senate. announced that it was his
purpose to obtain from the school
authorities a report as to the costs
of school buildings erected in other
cities. and with those facts in hand
and with estimates from the District
Commissioners at the extra session
of Congress soon to- be called, he
would seek to have legislation enact
ed appropriating for new school
buildings SO much needed in the Dis
trict.
The Kansas senator made this state
ment in reply to questions by Senator
Harrison of Mississippi. who directed
attention to the fact that the provisions
inserted by the Senate for the pur-
chase of sites fer new. school build
ings had been stricken out in confer
ence. Senator Harrison, who has
argud vigorously for adequate school
facilities in the District, said that he
hoped provision would be made for
them in the extra session Of the new
Congress. He expressed regret that
the Senate amendment providing for q
business manager Of the public
schools had been lost, as well as in

The only other provision of the con-
ference report that provoked discus
sion today was that relating to the

schools. The House amended the Sem
ate amendment so as to appropriate
$4,000 to be paid wholly out of the
revenues of the District instead of on

have an outlet for its population and

to Japan of a tract in Siberia about
the size of California. This territory
is rich in iron and coal, badly needed
by Japan. he added. and is climatically
fitted for colonization.
