Smoot Would Give
President Broad
Powers In Tariff
LRepublIcan A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Jan. u. - Broad
powers asked by President Harding
in administering the proposed new
tariff law to meet changing world
conditions which congress could not
contemplate, would be granted under
amendments to the Fordney bill pro-
posed today by Senator Smoot of
Utah, ranking Republican on the sen
ate finance committee.
The president would be authorized
TO increase or decrease tariff rates
by not exceeding so per cent of the
rates fixed in the bill; to proclaim
valuation as the basis for assessing
duties on any given list of imports;
to change rates within the limit OF
80 per cent to meet situations arising
IN American markets from repreciat-
ed foreign exchanges: to prevent
dumping in American markets and
discrimination against American and
foreign commerce by foreign coun-
tries.
Adjustment of rates to equalize
differences of trade of specified art
icles in the United States and foreign
countries could be made only after
investigation and hearings and would
not be effective until within 80 days
of their proclamation.
Thirty days also would have to
elapse after adjusted rates because
deprecated currency would come into
effect and before proclaimed Ameri-
can valuation could be put into force.
Senator Smoot also offered an
amendment to the American valua-
tion section of the Fordney bill, pro-
posing that where the duty is based
upon or regulated in any manner by
the value of the imported merchan-
disc the duty would be assessed on
actual market value of the wholesale
price thereof at the time of the ex-
portation in the principal market or
markets Of the United States.
Senator Smoot previously proposed
an amendment to the bin providing
for assessing duties on the basis of
invoice value of the imports. 1t is
understood his alternative proposal
today was largely to offer the sem
ate a plan favored by some members
of the tariff commission.

FRENCH OPPOSITION
TO BRITISH POLICY
FEARED IN ENGLAND
[Republlcan A. p. Leased wlrel


LONDON, Jan. IL Premier
Brands unexpected resignation
without waiting for vote in the
chamber of deputies, has occasioned
great surprise in London, and the in
definite adjournment of the supreme
council it is feared, means the break
up of the Cannes meeting and throws
the whole reparations question into
extreme confusion.
There is a noteworthy parallel in
the fact that both Lloyd George and
BRAND went to Cannes each with lis
hand on the pulse of the political sit
uation at home. British and French
politics completely dominated the
Cannes meeting.
M. BRAND had fear of the nation

who has just started new paper
and by NJ. Poincare and Prof. Paul
Painleve, former premier and min
lister of war. against his yielding to
what they considered the Lloyd
Georgian policy" in the supreme
council. This opposition was clear
ly antagonistic to any derogation
from the terms Of the Versailles
treaty and even against any Anglo
French alliance which would compel
ernment, and tie the hands of the
French with regard to submarines
and any assistance to Poland.
Mr.. Lloyd George, on the other
hand is credited with going to Can
mes with the intention of availing
himself of the expected decision for
an European economic conference,
which would hold out the expecta-
ton of the rehabilitation of central
Europe and thereby promise a solu-
ton of the difficult unemployment
problem and trade depression. 1t
was contended that these would pro-
vide useful planks. combined with
the Irish settlement and the success
of the. Washington conference. for
another appeal to the country, which
it was understood is further credited
with intending to form new ma
tional party" with liberal rather than
conservative leanings. The French
crisis as viewed here unless solved
by the recall of BRAND to power
would seem to threaten the disarray
of all these plans.

ARGUMENTS MAY
CONCLUDE TRIAL
Of BURCH TODAY
IRepublIcan A. ?. leased Wirel

LOS ANGELES, Jan. IL. - Argu-
ments in defense of Arthur c. Burch
against charges of numbering j.
Bolton Kennedy, on which he is on
trial :ere, were completed late to-
day. When revolved around the the
ory that Kennedy was waylaid by
two mysterious men" in Beverly
Glen, where he was found shot to
death, and that Burch was proved by
the states evidence to have been out
of the Glen at the time.
The defense arguments lasted
about eight hours. Seven of these
were devoted to analysis of prosecu-
ton testimony and the remaining to
the contention that if Burch did kill
Kennedy, he was insane when he did
it.
Paul w. Schenck, chief defense at
torney, who made the final argument
for Burch, declared that the prosecu-
ton had exploded it's own case" so
far as motive was concerned, when it
contended Burch killed Kennedy at
the instigation of Mrs. Madalynne
Obenchain, jointly indicted with
Burch.
"There is no evidence Mrs. Oben-
chain ever conspired with Burch, "
Schenclx said. "And under a we'll
known rule Of law, If she did not con-
spire with him. every conversation
introduced here which did not occur
within Burch's hearing, every letter
written by any one other than Burch
must be thrown out. And that meanC
95 per cent of the chaff in this case
must be discarded.
Mr.. Schenck dwelt on the theory
that two men" were concerned in
the Staying He said he believed this
to have been the case because ac-
cording to witnesses on both sides
two persons who have not been ac-
counted for were seen in Beverly
Glen the night of the killing and be-
cause. he contended. there was evil
dence two shots were fired from
different angles at the time Kennedy
was killed.
Mr.. Schenck declared tests made
bv a shot gun expert and admitted in
Evidence showed that the entire
charge of the fatal shot must have
lodged in Kennedy's head and that
the other shot had been fired from a
greater distance and made marks
found upon trees surrounding Ken
nedv's summer cottage, in front of
which the tragedy occurred.
In speaking of the insanity con-
tention. MIR. Schencl1 said that depo-
sitions made in Chicago and Evans

showed every conceivable charac-
fer change" and formed a mosaic
in a perfect picture of insanity

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel
DUBLIN, Jan. 12-The kings proc
lamation of amnesty, announcement
of the departure of the auxiliaries
and the resolution of the Sim Fein
executive council to summon an ex-
traordinary convention for Feb. Z, to
decide on the future of the organ
ization and its policy, after canon
de Valera had predicted split in
the organization were the chief de-
ve,opments in the Irish situation
today.
Behind the Dali Eireann stands the
Sim Fein organization of nearly 1900
clubs from every district in ireland
Ii is responsible for the success OF
parliamentary. and other elections
and is regarded as the authentic and
popular voic, by al Sim Feiners. De
Valera is still it's president, and all
it's machinery heretofore has been di-
rected exclusively toward independent
Republican aims.
The mornings sessions of the ex-
ecutive body of the Sim Fein was
devoted to the election of a standing
ommittee. which meets in Dublin
for all routine work or organizing.
s membership will be canvassed
throughout the country tomorrow to
ascertain whether its influence will
Je used for or against the support
ers of the treaty.
Mr.. dc Valera frankly faced the
situation, recognizing at the outset
that within the organization there
were two opposing forces, for and
against the treaty. His idea was
to secure a sort of temporary work
ing arrangement as a basis for sup
porting the Dali cabinet. while that
3ody was acting In it's capacity as
. authorized by the Republican gov
ernment Fl. left the matter to the
executive to debate.
The executive, through the nu-
mere Us del gates. declared that the
final decision regarding the future
of the organization must rest with
the voice of the people, and 1t wns
proposed and carried that the whole
question should be discussed by a
General convention composing 5000
delegp tes to be held in the mansion
house on Feb. z.
Mr.. de Valera was pressed to admit
that when the convention hcd de-
cided, the minority would be bound
by the majority. If the organization
favored the election of represent
atives to free state, he would not
continue to be president and would
oppose such conditions. He indi-
Gated tha. his electoral activities
would begir immediately
In tre next fortnight in every part
Of Ireland Sim Fein clubs will de-
bate on the treaty.
The amnesty proclamation has
been the cause Of great satisfaction.
Only one difficulty remains. At one
stage there were incendiary fires and
disturbances in England for which
alleged Sim Feiners We're convict
ed. Amnesty does not include them.
1t is understood that their case will
eman over for discussion between
the British government and the gov
'rnment of the new free state.
With reference to offenses commit
ted since the truce, the free state
government will have full power to
deal with all such cases in due

NFORCE LAW IN
TEXAS OIL TOWN

MEXIA. Texas. Jan. 12.-This oil
town and the oil country surround
ing IL were placed under martial law
today by Governor Neff, because OF
the alleged existence Of open, flagrant
violation of the law and tonight con-
ditions were quiet.
Several arrests were made during
the afternoon and quantity Of liquor
seized.
The situation was in charge OF
Brigadier General Jacob Wolters Of
the national guard. En- route to the
area tonight are 40 men of the head
quarters troops, Fifty sixth cavalry
brigade. They will be used. General
Wolters said. for picket duty and 10
guard prisoners while the state rang
ers are conducting an investigation
of conditions and making arrests.
Mexia was a sleepy farming town
of 5000 people until oil was found
near here and today 1t is a busting
city of 10000 people.
A tented city arose overnight. OIL
development followers packed arriv-
ing trains or came in wagons, trucks
or horseback.
The accommodations were few.
Men and their families slept in the
open or in tents or wherever shelter
could be obtained. A cot in a tent
scared in price from so cents to SO a
night. 1t cost $5 a night to sleep
in a crude plank structure. The
only bath house was in a barber shop.
The pine planks were slippery but
warped so much that bathers were
able to find a foothoId.
The oil development was rapid.
There are six solid miles of derricks
and drillers' outfits and wooden
buildings where there had been open
prairie.
Gambling, drinking and dancing
halls soon began to flourish and kept
open every night. Liquor was re-
ported openly sold and small for
