LOADED Dice"
IN NEW TARIFF
BILL, ASSERTS
Senate Gets Rather HiIar-
ious During the Discus
sion of What Generally Is
a Very Dry Subject.
FUN is STARTED BY
SENATOR HARRISON
Accused of Reading Demo-
cratic Free List Of Present
Law Instead of List in
Proposed Measure.
lEy The Associated Press.l

Washington, May 16.-The tariff
is generally considered dry sub
iect but the senate got rather hilar-
ious during its consideration today
The hilarity started when Senator
Harrison, democrat, Mississippi, de
scribed by Chairman McCumber, of
the senate finance committee as
the funny man of the senate,
started reading the list of commod
tiles to be let in free of duty if the
bill were passed in its pending form.
Lets see what the people are
TO get tax free under your bill,''
said Senator Harrison, addressing
the republican side. First, you are
going to let bones come in free.
And Brazilian pebbles Then bris
ties, If they are crude. Cutlefisn
bones, dry insects. Stems Of yege-
tables and flowers-I don't under

can't come in free. [ don't know
whether you let loaded dice in free
but you are giving the American
people loaded dice in this bill.
Sea Weed "Drifts In"
"And sea weed. That just drifts
in. NuX vomica, rags, shavings, old
paper, rope ends, waste ropes, waste

sity 10 use them on.
"JOss sticks, and turtles and
worm gut.
80 that's the free list the Amer
lean people are going to get.
Replying to Senator Harrison in
a sarcastic vein, Senator McCumber
said: THE funny man of the SEN
ate has given us an address on the
free list which he apparently en-
joyed making as much as the gal
leries enjoyed hearing"
THE trouble was that the senator
got hold of the wrong. bill and was

Cumber. "Yes. dragons blood.

opposed by several of the unions
which were dissatisfied with, its
terms.
Tonight's fire recalled threaten

assistant States attorneys warning
them that IL the "big three labor
leaders, Nader. big Tim Murphy

not released fires would be started
in buildings being erected through
out the city. The letters set the
time limit for the release of the
three at last Saturday.
Investigation of the fire showed
that 1t had been started simul-
taneously in several places and had
been preceded by the explosion of
a bomb.
Two women living in an adjoin-
ing apartment building told police
they were warned by an unidenti-
fled man shortly before the fire
was discovered. that the next
building would soon be in flames
and that they should flee.
The fire followed several days of
quiet during which the police have
been checking up vast amount of
evidence seized last week in raids
on number of union headquarters,
the arrest of more than $50 labor
leaders and the indictment of eight
of them, including Nader, president
OF the building trades council, in

Miller, according to States Attor-
ney Grove, has revealed to the po-
lice the entire procedure of labor
terrorism, telling of orders for
bombings and sluggings carried out
by strong arm mercenaries who re-

the leaders now under arrest.
The same mercenaries, 1t was
said, had been used to intimidate
both union men and contractors,
their leaders collecting tribute from

V|ND|CAT|ON Of
RADIO FADE AWAY
BALL ANNOUNCED
Indianapolis Pitcher DisCov-
ers a New Method of
PropeIIing the Pellet, Um-
pireS Decide.

Chicago, May 16 (by the Associ-
ateed Press. President Thomas
j. Hickey, of the American associa-
ton today announced the complete
vindication of the radio fadeaway'
ball perfected by Harry Weaver,
pitcher with the Indianapolis club.
which has proved so effective
against. association sluggers.
Although Weaver had endeavor-
ored to conceal the discovery and
perfection of this pitch, which is
the nearest approach to a double
jointed curve yet developed in base
ball, the managers and veteran
players of the big AA circuit had
felt that Weaver had uncovered Il
new pitch and numerous efforts
have been made to show that the
radio fadeaway was Illegal. FREE
Quent opportunities TO get hold of
balls were taken advantage of, and
occasional protests floated into the
office of President Hickey
As result of this, President
Hickey instructed every umpire to
watch Weaver closely. Later Il
meeting of umpires was called here
and the radio fadeaway discussed
lIOii every dHSlt' lllt uHlpli %
agreed that Weaver simply had dis
covered o new method OF propell-
ing the ball SO as to give it a change
of pace and a drop at the same
time. Consequently, the radio fade
away is just as legal as fast one,
a curve or any other pitch that is
within the law.
Another interesting sidelight in
connection with WeaVer's new dis
covery is that at least two major
league clubs have been trailing him
this year. The Indianapolis club,
however, is closely allied with the
New York Giants, so that McGraw
undoubtedly will have radio fade
away among his slab repertoire be-
fore the end of the season, If he
SO desires.

Chicago, May 16.-Open defiance
OF the efforts of the police to check
an outbreak of labor warfare which
has terrorized the city for the past
two months was seen tonight in a
spectacular fire which partially de-
stroyed a seventy apartment build

Starting just before dark at sew
eral points on the first floor, the
flames spread rapidly through the

all the fire fighting apparatus in
the northern section of the city was
called out before it was brought
under control with half the build

Park police force was used to keep
back the crowds, estimated at more
than 5000 persons.
Workmen employed on the struc-

clared that the fire was but another

Branded as Untrue,
tRy The AssocInted Press, /,

Washington, May 16.-Secretary
Hoover announced tonight the call
ing Of a conference of coal opera
tors to devise measures for the
protection of consumers from the
tendency of coal prices to rise at
the mine In certain districts which
he declared would be checked, No
date has yet been definitely set for
the conference, but 1t is expected
to be held in the next few days.
Mr.. Hoover requested the Amer
ican Railway association and the
public utilities associations to Gre
ate buying committees to handle
their purchases of coal and an
nounced his intention of asking
other large consuming industries to
take similar measures in order to
stop bidding against each other
and against the general consumer
"At the present time" he said,
"the price of coal has risen unduly
in certain districts while in other
districts there is an insufficiency
of orders to employ the mines full
time. There are very large stocks
of coal in the country in the pos
session of consumers and the prob
lem is one of coordination and CO.
operation.
"The reports of certain whole
salers that there is a shortage OF
coal is untrue and designed to fur
ther their personal ends"
From the White House also
there came word today of the gov-
ernment's intention to take hand
in the situation arising from the
advance in the price Of coal at the
mine in some districts.
President Harding and other Of
ficials OF the administration con-
slider, it was said, that in spite OF
the continuing coal strike, there
exists no possible reason for gem
eral or material advance in prices
outside of buyers panic. At
present, though a general price of
slightly above 81 per ton for BIZ
luminous is ruling over the coun-
try, in a few districts Secretary
Hoover has found reports that SO
per ton and more has been col
lected.
Attorney General Daugherty
likewise indicated today that de-
partment of justice reports showed
advances of SO per cent in coal
prices at the mines in some dis
tripts
