TARIFF BILL GOES
BACK TO The HOUSE
Committee Begins Composing
Differences Between Senate
and Representatives.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-The house
will get the tariff bill back from the SEN
ate tomorrow just a year and a month
after it first acted upon it. Republican
leaders plan to send it to conference
under a special rule with Representa-
tives Fordney of Michigan, Green of
Iowa, ana Longworth of Ohio, republ-
cans ana Garner of Texas and Collier
OF Mississippi, as the probable house
manager.
The conference committee will begin
this week the task of composing the
1000 odd differences between the senate
and the house. The question of Ameri-
can valuation, which the house approved
as the basis of assessing ad valorem du-
ties, may be referred to the house for
special vote, Representative Fordney
having announced that he would hold
out for this plan in conference and the
house settle the issue.
The general expectation at the capitol
is that the house will recede, accepting
the senate foreign valuation plan with
the so-called tariff provisions under
which rates might be raised or lowered
by the president to meet changing econ
omic conditions.

BERLIN, Aug. 20-Heavy unloading
of marks abroad is the sole cause of the
present collapse of German currency,
in the opinion of financial writers here,
who concur in declaring that there is
no cogent objective" reason for stam-
pede in Germany's present international
situation, and therefore unite in ascrib-
ing to the international political situa-
tion the real reason for the slump.
In support of this contention they cite
the fact that the collapse of the London
conference sent the dollar rate to thou
sand and assert that the French attitude
accept what the London deadlock. mere
" stimulated. 1t further pointed out
that the government for more than
month past has been a purchaser of
foreign currencies, as no reparations in
stallments have been paid, while the
part payment on clearing house obliga-
tions represented funds which were Sc
cured weeks ago.

STATES TAKES OFFICIAL
STEP TO PREVENT SMUGGLING OF
.--A-- = ATIENS INTO THIS COUNTRY

enter this country surrespitiously in the
belief Of Secretary Davis. Constant
smuggling Of aliens into the United
States, many Of whom "are Bolshevists
communists and undesirable ALIENS" Mr..
Davis said today, constitutes a menace to
the government and should be halted
without further delay. II effective rem
edy cannot be applied at once through
voluntary cooperation between foreign
governments and the United States, he
said, then congress Immediately should
enact compulsory registratter law to
be applied to all aliens withtR the bor-
ders of this country"
The labor department was said by Mr..
Davis to be convinced that boIshevtstio
and communistic organizations through
out the world are resorting to every
possible subterfuge to get their agitators
into this country. He had no doubt, he
added, and many of those who partici-
pated in the massacre of miners at Her
rim, H., were aliens who had been SNUG
gled into this country and had there been
natural registration law for aliens who
have never had the opportunity to par
world"
The labor secretary was inclined to
the belief, also he said, that there are
at least 100000 aliens in the United
States no have no right to be here and
who, if rounded up and deported would
''tax the capacity of American shipping
to convey them back to their home
lands"

KILLS BROTHER WHO
MARRIED HIS WIFE
Returns After Absence of Thirty
Years and Finds Old RO-
nance Blasted.

ashes of his blasted romance turning Bit
ter in his cups, William Hughes killed
his brother David, wounded his brothers
daughter Gertrude IS years old ana end
ed his own life by shooting early this
morning. H..
Thirty years ago William Hughes was
married. After several years Of domestic
bliss he left home to make his fortune
in Alaska, he spent many years in the
gold fields as laborer, prospector and
cook in mining camps. Cut off from COM
munication with the outside world for
months, he lost tt\ h with his wife.
Two years ago William Hughes came
home. He found that his wife had di-
vorced him years ago and married his
brother, David. A thirteen year old girl,
Gertrude, too, there was.
William took up his residence with
David and his former wife. Friends say
he brooded over his ancient love tragedy,
however, and Saturday night, after he
had been drinking, he was heard to re-
mark that he would "settle matters"
Entering the house shortly after mid
night he seized a rifle and attempted to
shoot Mrs. Hughes. David interferred
saving his wife, but was shot, dying of
his wound in a hospital some hours later.
The bullet which killed David passed
through his body and wounded Gertrude
in the leg Then William left the house
and ended his own life by shooting HIM
self through the head.
A note found on his body read;
Goodbye David and Gertrude, for
ever"
Mrs. Hughes is Frustrated.

the Hanover Technical school, late
Saturday afternoon in the glider

minutes. He reached an altitude of
100 sneters above the summit Of
the Wasserkuppe, which is at an
elevation of $50 meters, and later
mounted to a height of 200 meters
which he maintained through his
uniform flight, cruising with a
wind velocity of from 7 to 9 miles.
When thewind subsided Hentzen
attempted a straight away flight
in an effort to capture a special
prize of 100000 marks. The glider

HUGHES DECLARES
THAT SENATOR NEWBERRY WAS
WRONGLY TREATED BY COURTS

| by most serious misconstruction of
the statute which exposed him to con-
Vfction regardless of any moral offense
upon his party and no matter how
high minded he might have ben in his
conduct in the campaign"
The secretary who as counsel for
Mr.. Newberry and his associates par
ticipated in arguments in the case be-
fore the supreme court, further de-
clares in his letter that "it should be
borne in mind that Senator Newberry's
conviction in the lower court was not
based on any charge of fraud or cor
ruption or of the use of money for any
ing moral turpitude."
Mr.. Hughes then explains that the
conviction Of Mr.. Newberry was based
solely on the charge that there had
been an expenditure in his campaign
and election of more than $3.50, the
limit fixed by the statute by the state
of Michigan, and that he federal cor
rupt practices act made it unlawful for
a candidate to spend in excess of the
limit fixed by state law.
Senator Newberry could not have
been convicted Mr.. Hughes adds,
"even upon this charge without what
always regarded, and so stated in my
argument to the supreme court, as an
extraordinary misapplication of the
statute upon which the charge was
based"
other counts of the indictment re-
turned against Mr.. Newberry, includ-
ing that charging conspiracy to COM
NIT a number of offenses, Mr.. Hughes
emphasized, were set aside, and the
Jury in the trial rendered a verdict of
not guilty on the charge of a conspir-
acY to defraud by use Of the mails.
