LONGSTAPLE COTTON
TARIFF IS PROPOSED

WASHINGTON, May 7.-Further
consideration of the emergency tariff
bill today by the senate was marked
by the introduction of two additional
amendments and an attack on the
measure by Senator Harrison, Demo-
crat, Mississippi.
Senator Ashurst, Democrat, Ari-
IONA, proposed that the duty of 7
cents pound on long-staple cotton
be increased to 20 cents. while Sena-
tor Jones, Democrat, New Mexico,
moved for a tariff of Is per cent ad
valorem on all i:nportstions Of hides.
The amendments will be taken up
later.
In his attack on the bill, Senator
Harrison told the senate congress
seeking to remedy the country's eco
nomic ills by use of a "cure-all" tar
if. He declared that the average
farmer desired the government to
make more available" such agen-
cies for his aid as it now has rather
than to waste further time on such
questions as the tariff.
The Mississippi senator asserted
that the Republican membership
was not solidly behind the bill and
Cedu d speech, ueIlNereu ny OeudloF
Moses, Republican, New Hampshire,
at the last session attacking the
measure as being afflicted with "con-
genital economic ricketts," Mr.. Moses
remarked that he assumed the speak,
er was seeking to wiring reC% Ia
tions" from him, and added
But my position on this bill has
not changed. | hope, at the proper
time, to address a few poignant re-
marks to the senate on the subject,
and I intend particularly to discuss
the last section restrictions on i'm
portation of dyestuff) of the bill"
Mr.. Harrison then turned to what
he described as a constructive pro-
gram for relief of the farmers. FIe
argued that railroad legislation
which would make 1t possible for the
American people again to use the
transportation systems was urgent,
and that the farm loan system should
be made to do it's full duty by
charges that would make loans easier
to the farmers.
whatever happens to this tariff
he said, "these other subjects should
be considered first: The senators on
the other (Republicanl side must go
at this in a different way, they must
follow O. different course if they are
not to betray their party principles
and break all of the pledges they
made to the people last fall"
Chairman Fordney, OF the house
ways and means committee, announc-
ed today that subcommittee of his
committee were practically through
with their work on the permanent
tariff bill and that the whole com
mittee probably would begin consid-
GRAFTON of the permanent schedules
within a week.
Mr.. Fordney indicated that the Re-
publican members of the committee
were agreed on the adoption of the
American valuation plan as the basis
for 1evying duties. He said that by
basing the rates on the American
wholesale value of commodity rath-
er than on it's value in foreign
land it would be possible to eliminate
under-Valuation.

Strange Bird Is Sent
To Office Of Mayor;
Is Presented to Zoo

Mayor Key was the recipient of a
gift Saturday morning that taxed
his ingenuity in finding use for it.
By express there came q large
box, showing the sender to be c.. w.
Ferguson, of Easley, S. c.
Opening it, Walker Lee, the
mayors secretary, found a very
large and very floppy bird. evidently
of the duck family, with a most
vicious. sword-like bill and pugilistic
tendencies. The strange bird flopped
desperately around the mayors office,
attacking the pictures of mayors,
past and present" which hang on
the wall, with a particular vivacity.
Finally it was recaptured, dubbed by
the onlookers as a "grey albatross."
Dave Gillespie, general manager
of the parks, was called in and said
the bird would make a happy addition
to the Grant park ZOO. 1t was sent
there.
No letter of explanation accom-
panied the bird.

Barleycon' S Ghost
Will Stir Once More
In Legislative Halls

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE ghost
of John Barleycorn will bob up in
congress against next week at house
house judiciary committee hearings
on Chairman VolStead'S bill to keep
him completely dead
Every now and then the corpse
stirs and creates excitement. This
time enemies of the departed plan to
deliver a final whack. Considering
the dry composition Of the house,
members predict that the new Vol
stead measure, designed to prohibit
sale of beer to the sick, will be put
through. A flood of petitions has
reached Mr.. Volstead for and against
any added restrictions. Doctors, in
Guiding the general practitioner who
still sticks to the old top buggy as
a means of reaching thu sick, seem
to be divided, about fifty-fifty, ac-
cording to the letters, on the ques-
ton Of medical beer. Some have
| written that it is not needed to help
the ailing: otheds have protested
| man from having little beer with
his meals, for his stomach's sake.
So the committee agreed to hear
them all, beginning Thursday, and
then, Mr.. Volstead predicted, put
| through the bill designed to put med
ical beer in a place all it's own in
the barleycorn family grave yard.
Aside from Mr.. Volstead's tighten
ing up measure, three Or four others
affecting prohibition are pending.
The bill which would permit Ameri-
can ships to sell liquor beyond the
three mile limit will be considered
| by the merchant marine committee.
but the Volstead committee will pass
| upon the Hill bill to repeal the pro-
hibition enforcement act, and also
| the Wood bill transferring actual en-
| forcement from the treasury to the
| department of Justice,
There is wide difference of opin-
ion on the question of putting the
| enforcement army under the at
torney general, many prohibition
leaders believing, that there should
be no change. The sale of liquor on
| ships, coastwise vessels excepted, is
being urged on the ground that the
American passenger fleet must be
put on. equal footing with foreign
liners if congress hopes to develop

 Stressng with much emphasis the point that the Birmingham pageant should have no commercial aspect, and by that he explained that no in- dividual firm or organization should be represented, inasmuch as county and state fairs are for that pur- pose, MT.

 The entire scheme of the local pa geant will be poetical. Masque and pageantry will be combined. Three scenes under the tentative plans will consist of dramatic pageantry, and three to be masque.
