SLOW PROGRESS
BEING MADE on
TARIFF BILL
Committee Amendment to
Remove Ammonia From
Free List Approved

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE SEN
ate had another 11-hour session today
with the tariff bill, but again made
comparatively little progress. Its most
important action was the approval, 80
TO 25, of a committee amendment pro-
posing to remove ammonium nitrate
from the free list and to make it duti-
able at l cent pound.
Four Republicans, Borah, Idaho;
Capper, Kansas; LaFollette, Wiscon-
sin, and Norris, Nebraska, voted
against the amendment, and two Dem
ocrats, Broussard Louisiana, and Ken
drick, Wyoming, supported it,
Explaining the amendment, Senator
McCumb6r, Republican, North Dakota,
in charge of the billr said ammonium
nitrate was one item en- which the
committee had "wobbled," proposing
first that il be on the free list. He ex-
planned that this item was regarded
as being in the twilight zone" be-
tween the free list and the protection
list, and told the senate that the plac-
ing of a duty on il would make neces-
sary a compensatory duty on explc-
sives.
! After the vote, Senator King, Demo-
! crat, Utah, who led the fight against
the proposal, said he wanted to con.
gratulate the Republicans of the agri
culture-tariff bloc for standing by
I the farmers, road builders, and others
who use explosives and dynamite, and
for making this present to the trusts
Senator Frelinghuysen, of New Jer
sey, Republican of the finance com
mittee, urged the amendment. declar
ing that the duty was necessary to pro
tect from the German nitrate trust the
nitrate industry built up in this coun
try during the war. He added that The

Chilean-Peruvian Preliminary
Discussions on Territory
Near Conclusion
DELEGATES CONFIDENT
Believe Question of Program
Will Be Quickly Settled at
Opening of Conference

WASHINGTON, May H. (Ey the
the Associated Press)-The problem
of defining the exact scope of the
Chileal-Peruvian conference here is
developing some interesting ramifica-
tions as the preliminary discussions
of the two delegations near conclu-
sion.
Outwardly, all delegates expressed
confidence that as soon as the confer
ence has been initiated formally at
next Mondays plenary session, the
question of arranging a satisfactory
program will be easily and quickly
settled. These predictions are lrade,
however, in full realization that GER
tain factors of uncertainty hover in
the offing.
One factor which promises at once
to center attention on the question OF
Tarapaca, is the presence in the Unit
ed States Of a delegation of Tarapa
cans, who are expected to come to
Washington in advance Of the confer
ence opening to present to President
Harding a memorial declaring void
the treaty of Ancon, by which. theiI
province was ceded by Peru to Chile.
Another undetermined question is
whether the government of Bolivia
which once sought unsuccessfully t.
be made a party to the Washington
negotiations. will find an opportunity
before the conference is over to for
mally press it's plea OF interest in The

Langley Field late today after having
drifted for an hour and half over the

mile northwest breeze until repairs
were made when she turned her nose
toward shore. The crew of five were

The engine trouble developed about
$3.50 o'clock in the afternoon, and for

found unnecessary, however, to dis

iff Neglected Duty After

Sheriff Joe Hood staged a lively tilt
yesterday in the superior court at
Tombstone while Hood was testifying
in the trial OF William ]. Bennett, of
Benson, on trial for the second time
for Staying Z. o. Osborne at Benson

fense, told of having gone to Benson
Immediately after hearing of the slay-
ing of Osborne by Bennett. County
Attorney Ross characterized certain
actions of Hood as neglect of duty

he did not get evidence in the case,
the sheriff replied that in the past he
had been advised by the county attor
ney not to do so himself but call q
< representative OF the county attor
ney's office.
'He thought nobody in the sheriff's
office had sense enough to gather evi
dence," said Sheriff Hood Hood said
. he had not sworn out complaint
I against Bennett, at that time depu
/ ty sheriff, because this was the duty
of the county attorney.
! Hood told OF discovering, upon ar
riying at the scene of the shooting
that whiskey had apparently been cor
sumed in liberal quantities by meI
who were around Benefits living
quarters.
Didn't you help drink up the whis
key?' asked Ross.
'I Just tasted it," replied the sher

WORK IN CHURCHES

Boston, May 21-Dr. Charles f.
Park of the First Church of Boston
(Unitarian), in his anniversary SER
mon at the Arlington Street Church
tonight opening the Unitarian ami
versary week, said that the only way
TO secure the permanent well being
of the churches was "by making
them effective Instruments in the
work they are primarily designed to
do"
They are primarily designed" he
continued, Ito help in bringing in
dividual souls into personal relations
with God. That is their foremost
purpose. 1t is a mere waste of time
to substitute another and an easier
purpose for that one. All our insti-
buttons are bound to be for US the
thing we ourselves allow them to be.
The church is no exception.
DR.. Park said the church was not
a place for people to unite them
selves with desirable social elements
of community to cultivate friend
ships or ito indulge an inordinate
passion for serving on committees"
and that it was not "a glorified social
service enterprise" It's supreme
function. he said. was Serving men
and women in the task of spiritual
cultivation. standing for spiritual
since rity."
