CONGRESS TO
PASS TARIFF
BILL BEFORE
.ADJOURN|NG
So Declares Fordney In
House-Will Insist On
American Valuation
Principle In Bill
IRepublIcan A. 2. Leased Wlrel


WASHINGTON. April lot will
be American valuation or congress
will remain here until the snow flies"
Chairman Fordney of the house ways
and means committee. declared today
after he had been informed officially
that the senate finance committee
majority finally had determined upon
foreign valuation as the underlying
principle of the tariff bill, which
probably viii be reported to the
senate tomorrow.
I'VE will now insist on the original
American valuation plan as written
in the house bill,' Mr.. Fordney con-
tinued
THE senate committee majority
went back on the compromise Ameri-
can wholesale selling price OF the i'm
ported article to which we agreed and
now that bargain is offs Asserting
that the senate was overwhelmingly
for American valuation, the house
committee chairman said it was his
judgment that the senate managers
would agree to that valuation. when
the bin got into conference between
the senate and house.
Mr. F'ordney declared that he would
never agree to congress adjourning
until after the tariff bin had been
passed.
Its nonsense to talk about such a
thing" he said. ANY man who sug
gests such a thing wants TO defeat
the tariff and therefore, is an enemy
to American industry and labor. Re-
iterating that the house would not
yield on the valuation question, Mr.
Fordney said he did not believe there
were more than a dozen on the Re-
publican side, who would not stand
firm for American valuation and fight
1t out"
an the case of many articles of
import continued Mr.. Fordney,
there is no duty short of 1000 TO
1000 per cent that would equalize the
difference between American and
foreign value. Such duties would be
extreme and the people would not
stand for them. It would be suicide
to attempt them
Mr.. Longworth thought it would
take from two TO three months for
the senate to pass the measure and
this view seemed to be somewhat
general at the capital.
Long fights We're expected on a
number of the provisions in the bill
more particularly those involving
dyes, hides, shoes and leather wool,
cotton, lumber. metals and farm
products. Many lesser controversies
also We're in prospect with one prob
ably centering around efforts of dry
advocates to include in the bill gen.
eral provisions aimed against liquor
smuggling.

NEW YORK April 1o-There are

The celebrated English creator of
Sherlock Holmes, who has come, to
America to lecture on matters psy-

reporters a more intimate view of
the next world as he conceived it
than upon his arrival yesterday on
the steamer Baltic.
Marriages. he said, were on a high

added, and always continue happily.
Indeed, he said. there was a very
complex form Of society Of the world

Sir Arthur said that the great
agreement among spirits of various
nationalities as TO the life in the spir-

proofs of the existence of such life.

Asked about a suicide, Sir Arthur
said that one could not force the hand
of Providence and that a suicide

the trouble that had caused him to
end his life.
He said that the object of life was
to spiritualize ourselves and that
riches and successes here did not
count against that
Climatic conditions are one of the
stumbling blocks in the path of me-

The spirit has to obey material

Measure Against Wear

Taken Under Dark

Closed Doors.

Was there not something incon-
sistent in the action of the house
yesterday in masking itself and con-
cealing its identity behind the per-
Sonal disguise OF closed doors while
1t discussed the reasons why a bill
which forbids other organizations to
mask themselves or affect disguises?
Perhaps not: assurance was given
those who were to be cast out in
darkness and ignorance that the bin
itself was not to be discussed but
only private, confidential and priyi-
legged communications were to be Of
fered by the supporters of the bill.
and that the communications were of
such nature that it would not be
good for the REALTORS il their identity
should be made known.
With that explanation the press
gang wlthdrew-so as to tighten the
work OF the sergeant at arms.
In the later open session of the
committee OF the whole house the bill
was considered pro and con and the
committee recommended the passage
OF the measure. 1t will come I'D to-
day for third reading.
No action was taken in either house
on the general appropriation bill,
which was not returned from the

to which it was sent on Saturday.
There was some talk in the senate
of going over the bill, but the senate
adjourned early for the day.
Rumors floated about the corridors
that the fate OF senate bill 4S, the
financial code, which has been in the
hands of the governor for severaR
days, had not been decided; that a

had been raised, and that the gov
ernor was not disposed to act upon it
until he had been given a view of
the general appropriation bill in its
final form.
Senators and representatives, that
is some of them. said that they could
not act finally upon the appropriation
bill until they knew for sure what
would happen to the financial code.

added, I'VE win be a second rate

little influence in the world for peace

smugly announce the loftiness of our

tinued. Under the treaty our rela-

will have some 100000 men: the jap

bill, will have only $1,000.
This bill. therefore, has estab-

WASHINGTON, April 1o.--An ac-
counting Of the s350,o0o,OO worth Of
enemy property held by the govern
nlent was given the senate today in a
report, the first compiled since Feb
ruary. 1920, filed by Thomas w. Mil
Ter, alien property custodian, in re-
Spouse to resolution by Senator
King. Democrat, of Utah.
"The final disposition of this prop
erty," MIR. Miller said, will undoubt-
edly have a direct bearing on the
economic relations between this
country and Europe. with particular
reference to the late enemy powers.
The sequestered property also will
have a bearing on the question of the
settlement of American claims
against Germany"
Discussing the $415,00O.0OO of
American claims against Germany,
Mr.. Mil1r recalled the terms of the
Knox Porter peace resolution indi-
eating that no disposition should be
made of enemy property held by the
United States until the German gov
ernment had provided for the satis-
faction of all American claims. He
asserted that congress must evolve
some plan whereby American claims
against Germany may be adjudicated
by some proper tribunal created by
law.
There are several classes Of claims
against Germany" Mr.. Miller said,
