MANY TARIFF

House for Further
Consideration
Plan Final Vote Today After
Debate Limited to Four
Hours Senate Will Take
Week or More to Reach Vote
Bill Chief Issue in Novem-
Der Elections

Washington, Sept. 12--(By A. P.)
The administration tariff bill in
the form In which it will become a.
law, probably before October /, was
made public today with the presen-
tation of the conference report to the
House.
Many OF the rates proposed by the
Senate were reduced by the Repub-
lican conferees, but the experts esti-
mated that the level of its duties was
only slightly below the level of those
in the famous Payne Aldrich act, the
last Republican protective tariff.
Basing their calculations on the
present volume of import trade,
treasury experts figured that the bill
would yield an annual govern ent
revenue of $500. 000, 900. This would
be $44.0OO.000 more than was re-
ceived during the last fiscal year
through the combined operation of
the Democratic-C underwood law and
the Republican emergency tariff act
both of which will be supplanted by
this bill Immediately after it is signed
by the President.
Final action on the measure by the
House tomorrow was the plan of
leaders under an agreement made
today for only four hours of general
debate with a vote to follow imme-
diately. The bill then will go to the
Senate where debate of a week or
more is expected to precede the final
vote
Discussion in both the House and
Senate, but more particularly in the
latter, will be the forerunner of that
to be heard over the country before
the November elections as the bill is
certain to become one of the chief is
sues in the Congressional and sena-
torial campaigns
Democrats will continue their at
lacks on the measure as one certain
to increase the cost of living by sew
eral billions of dollars a year and as
encourag ing the continuation of war
prices.

lection and as necessary to protect
both industry and labor in the pres
ent abnormal world economic stua-
ton and more particularly from dis
astrous competition from the low
cost cost production countries in
Central Europe and the Orient.
The Senate provision that the
flexible tariff should remain in opera
ton only until July l. 1924. was
stricken out of the bill and the So
called scientific tariff provision, pro-
viding for investigation and reports
by the tariff commission. as well as
those designed to prevent diScrimina-

| trade, were retained.
The conferees also approved re-

Total Number Lost
on HammOnia May
Never Be Known

Southampton, Eng. Sept. 12-(By
A. P.)-The loss of life in the found
ering Of the German ship Hammonia
off the coast of Spain, last Saturday
probably will never be definitely
known. The passenger list was not
saved and the total of those on board
can only be approximated.
Captain Aldred Hoefer, commander
Of the Harmonic. asserts that only
Is persons are missing out Of total
Of 557. The crew, he believed, num-
bered 1872 and the passengers 365.
Captain Day. commanding the
steamship Kinfaune Castle, which
brought 3S5 survivors here, says he
saw possibly eighty drowning, while
others place the death list as high as
$50. One reason why the number lost
will probably never be known is that
most OF the passengers were Spanish
or Cuban workmen. whom it will be
impossible to trace.
Corunna, Spain, Sept. 12-(By A.
P.)-When the Inflated steamship
Hammonia left this port for Nigo on
Friday there were on board 554 per-
sons of whom 1853 were passengers, it
is learned.
One hundred and eight passengers
and considerable cargo were taken
on here. the ship it is stated. being
unable to accept more. The Ham
monia is reported to have grazed
rock while leaving the harbor.
Conflicting stories are told by the
survivors reaching here. Some de-
clare that So lives were lost. while
others believe that all the crew and
passengers were saved.
