FORDNFY TARIFF

Washington. D. c.. Jan. 3.-Consid-
Grafton OF tho Fordney emergency tar
III bill was delayed in the senate again
today and now rocks appeared in its
path.
With filibustering openly charged
leaders OF both sides declared that the
chances OF the measure coming to a
vote in this session were gradually
growing less. Another session of var
led discussion is scheduled for tomor-
row but II is planned now to turn to
the big appropriation bills. when tho
senate convenes Monday. Once the
tariff legislation is displaced advocates
of the bill add. 1t will be dincult to
get It up for consideration again.
The consideration given the tariff at
Fridays session consisted OF speech
by Senator King. Democrat Of Utah
on Russian trade which occupied al
most the entire afternoon and coin
tanned only occasional references TO
tariff matters and brief exchanges
concerning tho meaning of Senator
Pcnrose's cloturc petition which was
circulated yesterday.
Tho open charge OF flIbustering was
made by Senator Ashurst. Democrat
OF Arizona. following colloquy be-
tween Senator Thomas, Democrat Of
Colorado. and Senator Penrose rela-
tive to an "insinuation" of a iilibuster.
Tho Pennsylvania senator assured MI.
Thomas that he had not intended by
circulating his petition to insinuatc
that n flibuster had been organized.
Senator King then began the speech
on Russian trade but was interrupted
by Senator McCumbcr, Republican OF
North Dakota, who suggested that the
tariff was the subject technically bo-
fore thc senate.
Tho latter mentioned tho references
made to n fiiibuster and Mr.. Ashurst
broke in with the exclamation:
Il do not insinuate that there is a
| flibuster. I charge it,
Tho accusation, however. failed to

Russia. its government. its people. it,

prospects of establishment OF a per-
mancnt republic. His discussion there
after was interrupted only when Sem

Speculation was rife thruout the
day as to what ultimately would be the
result IL an agreement wero not reach

that should failure result. NJ. Doumer

held responsible for raising obstruc-
tons to a settlement of the repara-

Persons close to Premier BRAND OK

ne would report the circumstances to
the chamber of deputies and then an
nounce the resignation of tho entire
French cabinet.
Late in the afternoon the alternative
proposition was submitted to the
French delegates providing for fixed
annuities for forty-two years plus
varying annuniucs figures on Ger
many's foreign trade. This plan was
suggested to give satisfa ction to the
French viewpoint that owing to tho
impossibility to determine now what
Germany's situation will be in the fu-
ture. no part of Frances claim should
be abandoned.
Under this plan, the French and
other creditors of Germany will he

annuities and an additional sum pro-
portionato to tho economic prosperity

JAPANESE ANSWER IN
LANGD0N KILLING CASE

Toxic. Jan 27.-tBy the Associated
Press Tho Japanese answer to the
note of the United States government
concerning tho recent killing of Lieut.
Warren H. Langdon, in vladivostok.
has been forwarded to Warrington.
According to information available
here, the reply docs not discuss the
question Of japanese occupation OF
Siberia. 1t reiterates tho regret of tho
government over the shooting Of
Lieutenant Langdon, which has al
ready bccn voiced by its official rep
resentauves in vIadivostok and Wash
inEton and calls attention to the meas
urcs already adopted to prevent the
recurrence of such an unfortunate in
ctdent. The communication empha-
sizes the completeness and impartiality
of the investigation into tho shooting
now in progress, which It says will
be followed bu such rcparation as the
circumstances call for.
Although the shooting OF Iieuten-
ant 1angdon was an outgrowth Of the
presence of Japanese troops in Vladi-
vostok, tho Japanese apparently think
1t should be treated As a separate and
distinct question. not connected with
Japan's policy with regard to Russia.

statement published yesterday by the
