abundance Of fuel, could allow any suf-

Business Men From Great
Britain Appear Before SEN
ate Finance Committee.
MAY GO TO ARMS FARLEY
Harding Favors Delay on
Fordney Bill and Foreign
Debt Measure.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The ap-
pearance OF a deputation Of English
business men before the Senate
Finance Committee Wednesday to
oppose some of the steel schedules of
the pending tariff bill, is expected by
Senators today to further emphasize
the international aspects OF the pro-
posed erection Of American trade
barriers.
Senators closely associated with
President Harding are of the opinion
that the tariff question is one that
may be moulded finally by the trend
Of the approaching Washington con-
ference on disarmament and kindred
subjects. however unrelated the tar
If now may appear to be to the an
nounced purposes OF the conference.
These Senators have known for some
time that the Administration intended
that both the tariff bill and the foreign
debt funding bill should not be enacted
finally by Congress until the outcome Of
the Washington conference could be de-
termined.
The liquidation Of the s11 900. 900, 900
foreign indebtedness to tho United States
and the construction Of a tariff wall
against foreign products are moot ques.
tions which ars likely to be projected
into the melting pot Of International re-
letlons, once tho conference gets under
way, the Senators believe. They are con-
hdent Congress win not be called upon
to act finally upon either question IN
til the result Of the gathering is fore
seem.
The admission OF IN English deputa-
ton TO a hearing OF the Senate Finance
Committee on the tariff is described by
the state Department as unofficial" and
TO have no connection with the British
government Itself, except that the Brit
ish embassador-Sir Auckland Geddes-
personally arranged It.

ASHBY HINTS OPINION

City officials today recovered their
breath, after the surprise they received
Saturday when the Citizens Gas Company
suddenly surrendered It's franchise. and
began to take stock OF what has been lost
to the municipality and what might be
saved.
Corporation Counsel Samuel Ashby,
who indicated Saturday he was too sur
prised to have anything to say, still was
not ready TO discuss the move. &c said
he would have TO confer with Mayor
Charles ". Jewett, the board OF pubic
works and the city council before out
lining what the city Will do about the
surrender. He said he does not expect

FRANCHISE DISREGARDED

Although the city has been unable, or

The Citizens Gas Company was organized
By a group OF public spirited men VINO

The stock was thrown open 10 the pubic

TO help along a civic enterprise. The

negotiation Of the franchise. Examina-

the companys latest move, show what a
price the city exacted for the use OF its
streets and alleys.
The biggest advantage which the city
may lose is possession OF the plant at
the expiration OF the franchise in 1880.
The franchise provided the company
