Through Fordney Bill.

Washington, March 22-With the
decision by Republican leaders to
put through the Fordney emery
ency tariff bill precisely as vetoed
by President Wilson, Immediately
upon the converting of congress.
the major legislative program for

day to be settled
Reversing their previous posi-
ton against the enactment of an
emergency tariff, members of the
house ways and means committee
acceded to the request of President
Harding for passage at once of a
measure designed to afford protec,
ton to the farmers against foreign
competition.
Agreement to the program also
was given by Senators Penrose,
Smoot and McCumber, conferees
from the senate finance committee,
Senator Penrose stating that there
would be Limitation of debate, if
necessary to insure speedy pas
sage of the bill through the SEN
ate. 1t probably will be rushed
through the house under a special
rule.
With the emergency measure out
of the way, the house, according to
the final program agreed upon,
then will take up the anti-dumping
bill, to be followed by permanent
tariff revision.
The actual work of framing the
tariff bill will be begun by the

MURDERS Wife
and SUICIDES

Rockford. ILL.,, March Cor
oner Fred C. Olson and Camp Grant
authorities are cooperating today
in an investigation Of the murder
in hotel here last night of Mrs.
Beulah Howard by her husband.
Corporal Charles c. Howard, who
then shot himself in the head, dying
soon afterward at hospital.
Howard left letter in which he
gave directions where he should be
buried and whom to notify in case
of accident to me-" indicating to
the authorities that the act was
premedhated.
Local authorities believe triple
tragedy was averted only by How
ards failure to find another soldier
whose name he understood to be
Mcdonald" 1t is said Howard in
tercepted a letter indicating friend
illness between Mcdonald" and
Mrs. Howard.
Left Letter.
The letter found in Towards
locker at the camp requested in
case of his death that notification
be sent to S. F. o. Howard, a bro
ther. and c. Upton, father-inlaw,
Berkeley, Va. R. F. D. No. 3. He
requested that he be buried in
Berkeley, Va. and that my beloved
wife be buried there with me at
her death"
Coroner Olson expressed doubt
today that a third person could
have been implicated in the muir
der. as the door to the room in
which the Howard bodies were
found was locked and is four stor-
les from the ground. and that es-
cape by the stairway would have
been unlikely. as the hotel clerk
ran up the four flights Of stairs
when he heard the shots.
Howard had been separated from
his wife following a quarrel some
weeks ago, and is believed to have
gone to her room to effect recon-
Citation. While he was pleading
with her the telephone bell rang.
The clerk in the Office below, lis
tening in on the conversation,
heard a man tell Mrs. Howard that
he was the man she met in the res
taurant. She said she did not re-
member him-then two shots ech-
oed over the telephone, the clerk
heard body fall, called the police
and found Howard and his wife
both dead.
A letter expressing love and
signed by John Luciano Of the Mil
waukee police was found in adraw-
er lying with a similar letter from
her husband. She was Beulah Up
ton Of Berkeley. Va. and married
Howard at Indianapolis, Ind, Nov.
13, 1920. She was nurse at Great
Lakes during the flu epidemic.
