EMERGENCY LAW

WASHINGTON. Aug. 10 The
American valuation plan Of assessing
duties on imported merchandise with
notifications and limitations pro-
posed by Republican members Of the
Senate Finance Committee, has been
accepted at a joint conference by
Republican members Of the House
ways and means committee and the
program will be recommendd to the
Senate as a part of the permanent
tariff bill.
An attempt also was made at the
conference to determine whether the
next tariff law would contain a dye
embargo. Although no formal action
was taken, II was indicated the Re
publican leaders would provide high
protective rates for the dye industry
but probably would not favor the
suggested three-year embargo. A
Joint committee composed Of Sena-
tors Smoot. of Utah and Dillingham;
Of Vermont, and Representatives
Longworth, OF Ohio. and Frear, OF
Wisconsin, was named to study the
rate question.
The House members also agreed

ton extending the life Of th'

FAIL TO FIND

Roof Rebuilt, and Fire Cause
Remains Mystery, Super
intendent Says

The roof on the reservoir of the
Bismarck Water Supply company,
which was destroyed by fire several
weeks ago, has been completely re.
built, A. J. Ostrander, supeclntend-
ent, said today. During the rebuild
ing an investigation was conducted
to determine the cause of the fire.
Mr.. Ostrander said, but none was
found. TIL conclusion remains that
it was of incendiary origin. The
only manner which it might have
caught, he said, was from some heat
ig stoves, but they were found intact
in their protected chambers.
THE Qualification and mixing chama-
ers also were ovarhauled. Mr. Ost-
rander said, being partially refined

tailed a fire loss in the burning OF
