TO RESURRECT THE
POPGUN TARIFF BILL
FoRoNEY EMERGENCY TARIFF
BILL BE RUSHED THROUGH
AT EXTRA SESSION.
HAS A 6 MONTHS LIMITATION
Passage Of the Measure Within Ten
Days After Opening of Special
Session Predcted-Permanent
Tariff Later.

Washington.-The Fordney emery,
ency tariff bill, precisely as vetoed by
former President Wilson, will be rush.
ed through congress as the first i'm.
portant legislation of the extra ses.
sion.
According to the request of Presi.
dent Harding for passage Of measure
designed to help the farmers, crying
for protection against foreign compe-
tition, republican members of the
house ways and means committee
turned about and voted to revive the
Fordney bill after agreeing almost
unanimously not to consider any
emergency legislation ahead of per-
manent tariff and revenue revision.
Senator'S Penrose Smoot and Nc
Cumber, conferees from the senate
finance committee, agreed to the new
program, which, it was explained,
meets the approval of the president.
Senator Penrose expressed the belief
that the emergency measure would be
in the hands of Mr.. Harding within
ten days after the converting of the
special session April II.
Several members Of the house com
mittee, including Chairman Fordney
and Representatives Longworth and
Green, conferred with Senator Pen
rose, who heads the senate finance
committee, after the former committee
had reached its agreement.
From this conference came the Pr
diction that the measure would be
rushed through the house under "a
special rule and through the senate
possibly under limitation of debate as
enforced by cloture.
The new Fordney bill will be pre-
sented with a six months limitation,
but its provisions will expire at an
earlier date should the permanent bill
be enacted before expiration of the
six months period.
The house ways and means commit.
tee at the end of an all-day wrangle
apparently was in the utmost har.
mony. Calling in newspaper men at
the close of the session, with members
sitting around big table in their
shirt sleeves, Chairman Forney set
forth the final program, with every.
body expressing approval.
After disposing of the emergency
measure in the first few days of the
extra session, the house will take up
and pass the antidumping bill, which
will be followed by the allied meas
ure fixing an American valuation on
goods which must pay ad valorem
duty.
Then will come the permanent tar
iff. which republican leaders hope
will be broad enough to satisfy all In
terests in all sections demanding an
upward revision.

Gasoline Leak May Have Been the
cause-Seeond Explosion and Fire
Followed as Debris Was Be-
ing Carried Out.

Atlanta, Ga.-Fourteen students and
instructors of the sophomore medical
class at Emory University, were pain
fully injured by an explosion of gas
here, some 30 others were slightly,
hurt and many had narrow escapes.
Sam Kaplin, of Macon, Ca, a stu
dent, was blown through a window,
but escaped with hardly more than
scratches and most of the more Sc
rious injuries were fractured legs,
sprained ankles and cuts and bruises
as the wooden flooring was blown up
by collection of gas between it and
the cement floor. A second explosion
and fire followed later when the
wreckage was being cleared away,
but did little damage Possibly that
gasoline from leaky pipe caused
the explosion was expressed by DR..
A. Richard Bliss, head of the depart
ment Of pharmacology, but the cause
has not been definitely determined.
The more seriously injured we're:
DR.. A. Richard Bliss, head of the de-
partment of pharmacology, left leg

CAMPAIGN PLEDGES
HAUNT PRESIDENT
REoEEMlNe OF PLEDGES MADE
BY C. o. p. CANDIDATE FOUND
TO BE HARD JOB.
REPUBLICANS ARE BAFFLED
Women, Who Contributed Their Mite
at Polls, Want Jobs-colored
Voters Find Themselves
on Outside Looking Ia.

Washington.-ln consolidating the
fruits of victory officials and support
ers Of the Harding administration ad.
init it is confronted with very grave
problems less susceptible of satisfac.
tory solution than the splitting up OF
patronage. The position of the adj
ministration at the end Of two weeks
Is conceded to be not entirely dis
similar to that of Great Britain and
France in trying to make Germany
come across and pay the fine imposed
upon 1t by an outraged world.
The partition of jobs is a compare
lively easy job. Redeeming the
pledges made by the republican pres
idential and other candidates to the
people who are interested in policies
rather than patronage is quite an.
other thing.
A pronounced note Of pessimism re-
garding the outlook for providing
economic and industrial relief for the
country is the outstanding feature, of
all discussions between officials of
the administration and newspaper
correspondents, with whom the Off
oials confer two or three times a
week.
There is no question but that Mr.
Harding and the best minds Of the
party" are applying themselves ear
nestly to the task Of finding way
out OF the perplexing maze Of compli-
cations that so far have defied solu-
ton. BY the process of elimination
the president and his official, as well
as voluntary, advisers have been
forced to set aside for the time being
consideration of internal problems in
order that some method may be de-
vised for heading off domestic condi-
tons that presage far-reaching con-
,equences which will jeopardize both
The government and the business in
terests of the country Of every kind.
The most acute problem is now con-
ceded to be that OF providing the
country with revenue enough to meet
its obligations.
Every republican woman voter IS
eagerly scanning newspapers for sub
stantial evidence OF appreciation of
the services rendered at the polls by
her and her sisters. So far as the
uomen can determine plans of Presi-
dent Harding do not provide for rec
ognizing the claims Of the 100000
women who cast their ballots for
him.
The colored brother apparently II
not faring any better at the hands
If the Harding administration than
the newest voters, So far few col
ored men or women have been ap-
pointed to any jobs. Colored leaders
in southern states, particularly Ten
nessee and Oklahoma, have been be-
sieging the White House and the
various departments demanding the
same recognition already given their
rhifa associates.

HUNTER RAINE PARDoNED.
Memphis Banker Receives uncondl-
tional Pardon.


Nashville, Tenn.--C. Hunter Raine,
former president Of the old Mercantile
Bank of Memphis, who entered the
penitentiary here last December to
serve sentence of from one to ten
years for fraudulent breach OF trust in
connection with the, theft of 81, 0s1 900
of the banks funds. was granted an
unconditional pardon by Gov. Taylor
Raine remained over day to visit
his brother, Gilbert Raine. who for the
last year or more has been here in q
private sanitarium near Nashville. His
stay in Memphis probably will be tenn
porary. Raine plans to go into the
cotton business, probably In New
York.
There were six or eight indictments
against Ralne in the Shelby criminal
court, but after his conviction on the
charge OF fraudulent breach of trust
the others were dismissed. The result
is that Raine has now paid all the
price the law exacts and the wreck
OF the Mercantile Bank is beyond the
reach of codes and juries.

ward that they had been unable to
find any record of the United States
owing France any money on account
of loans advanced during the Reyolu-

Their activity resulted from the
publication by the Paris Eclair of

OF aid given ny France in the ReVolu-
tionary War as against the ss0O0o00,-

France on world war loans. NJ. Ber-
nard also claimed that America had
never paid 10000 francs of the pur-
chase price OF Louisiana. Officials
said references to the Louisiana par-
chase and payments on that deal were
few in the treasury files. but that
none indicated unpaid balances.
