ASKING HOW
TARIFF WORKS
Foreign Government Great
ly Concerned as to
New Law
CBy nited PreSsO

Washington, Sept 22.-With the
tariff bill law, government officials
today were swamped under inquiries
and complaints from foreign govern
ments concerning its operations.
The state department 1t became
known, has turned over to the senate
foreign relations committee mass
of these inquiries and complaints as
to the operation Of the act which went
into effect last midnight.
The committee probably will not
take them up until the special ses-
sion of congress in November, 1t was
indicated. BY that time the law will
have begun to operate so that both
at home and abroad it will be more
nearly apparent how it is going to
affect trade, and it will then be pos
sible for the committee to handle the
foreign inquiries more intelligently,
it was stated.
A flood of amendments to the new
tariff was in the making today.
When the special session meets in
November demands will be made to
change a score or more Of the act S
important provisions. Indications
were that the effort to ontain dye
embargo would be renewed, while
changes in the duties on many COM
modities were to be asked by house
and senate members who were unsuc-
cessful in impressing their views on
the two houses when the bill was
being enacted.
Democrats and anti tariff republl-
cans have established watch upon
the acts operation. The first indica-
ton that it is causing increased liv-
ing costs, or is affecting foreign
commerce adversely will be the signal
for attacks upon it. The Democrats,
who have predicted economic disaster
as a result of the bills provisions,
will keep their campaign speakers
this fall informed on developments,
if any occur, which can be laid at
the door of the tariff, so that this
material may be used against Repub-
lican congressional candidates.

Would Settle Peacefully
Paris, Sept. 22.- France and Brit
ain made an eleventh hour attempt
today to avert hostilitieS in the Near
East by getting together or Turkish
policy.
With war clouds again hanging low
over the Dardanelles, Premier 'roin-
care of France and Foreign Minister
Curzon of Britain met here.
When they met France and Brit
ain were far apart on their attitude
toward the Turks.
France was holuding that the Turks
must be dealt with gently, and their
claims to Thrace and the DdTdanel-
les settled by diplomacy.
Britain was standing firm in its
resolve not to yield to the Turkish
demands until peace conference has
been held. The British troops were re
naming along at Chanak, on the
banks of the Dardanel!es, facing the
assembling Turkish hosts.
The French cabinet met today and
gave full backing to Poincare's at
titude that the Near Eastern crisis
must be settled by diplomacy.

that time, presenting an exceptionally
varied assortment of issues, sena-
tors and congressman will seek new
leases on political life in Washing
ton this fall.
Following is a summary of the
most Important acts of the 67th con-
gress to date:

ference on limitation of armaments,

After having served the city of
Alexandria as auditor for the past
thirtv-seven years. City Auditor h
f. Price submitted his resignation to
the city council at the regular meet
ing of that body held yesterday al
ternoOn.
The announcement of his reSigna-
tion was received with surprise by
the members of that body and after
ne had been lauded by the various
members of council for his zeal and
faithfulness as a city oficiG! Mayor
William A. Smoot appointed a com com
mittee consisting of Ccuncllmen II
Ger and Bryant TO wait ON MI rrlee
and endeavor to have him reconsider
his determination to resign for some
time to come.
The letter of Auditor Price submit
ting his resignation follows;
"The Hon. City Council:
Gentlemen: 49,
81 respectfully resign the position
of City Auditor effective October Z
next. During the last twelve months
I have intimated 20 a few close
friends a probable retirement. 10
myself il was an intention TO leave
office about December next
However. upon mature reflection
the conclusion is irrestable that IN
so far as this OFF, Is concerned, the
Citv Council and City Manager Rlch
NAV be better served in the selection
of a person younger than myself, ana
] have no doubt the council will make
q wise choice.
"For thirtv-seven wears / have en-
deqvored to give public matters my
hest service and every energy that l
possessed. g., -.
"I shall retire from Office with the
satisfaction of hoping and believing
that the position has been conducted
without loss 70 the city. as l know II
has been without profit 70 myself
with much respect and hoping sue
cess NAV be YOURS. | am, .,
Very Sincerely. "E. +. Price
The resignation Of Mr., Price was
presented council by Mayor Smo9t
and after it had been read Council
man Fanon moved that action be DE-
ferred with the hope of having Mr..
price reconsider. President Smoot
stated that no one had prior know
ledge of the proposed resignation OF
Mr. Price. He praised Mr.. Prices s
efficiency as q city official, and he eX--
nressed hope that Mr.. Price would
withdraw his resignation or else re
main as auditor for some time 10
come.
Councilman Ticer expressed sur
nrise at the resignation and said the
auditor had rendered him valuable
services during the past four years
that he served on the finance commit
tee of the old city council. The city
he declared would lose a faithful ana
efficient city officer.
Councilman Bryant declared the
resignation of Mr. Price was a shock
10 him and ne said every effort
should be made to have him recon-
slider his determination to resign
He hoped ne would either withdraw
or defer it, ,
Or July l last, Mr. Price celebrated
his thirty-Seventh wear as auditor OF
The city. On various occasions he
has been opposed for the office but
always came out with colors flying.
His general efficiency always was rec
ogniZed by the freeholderS Of the city
with a large vote The fact that ne
has served thirty-Seven consecutive
years in an elective office Is not only
without precedent in the city. but
probably in the State of Virginia.
