her.
The foreman, who was known as
Jack" realizing the danger, told his
men he would not order any of them
to 60, but if some one would volun-
teer to accompany him, they would
essay the trip. Two men volun-
teered.
The current and waves proved too
strong and the boat capsized. One
of the men, whose name was not
learned, but who had been sailor,
caught onto the boat, and was car
ried down stream nearly three miles,
where the boat grounded on sand
bar, saving his life. The other two
men, Jack, and young man by the
name of Pearson. floated almost
within reach Of ropes from the shore,
then went down. The bodies have
not been found.
Pearson formerly lived around
Iekamah. His sister, Rose Rogers,
has been notified. The foreman had
been placed over the men only about
a week before. His relatives are not
known.

France and Italy Oppose
English HOLY Land Mandate

Geneva, May l3.-(By A. P.)-The
French and Italian objections to i'm
mediate consideration of the PROPOSE
ton to approve the British mandate
tor Palestine made it seem certain
today that the matter would be post
poned until the next meeting OF the
council Of the League Of Nations.
Lord Balfour had planned to ask the
council today to put the mandate on
the calendar Of the present sessions.
but Leon Bourgeois. for France, and
Marquis Imperial, for Italy, report
ed their governments unprepared to
consent to approval Of the mandate
at this time.
The French reason for objecting
to immediate consideration was that
France wished to have the mandate
for Syria approved at the same time,
while the Italian reason was that the
whole question had been complicated
by the fact that the treaty of Sevres
had never been ratified.
Both France and Italy complained
of the abruptness of the British pro-
posal. which had not allowed time for
these governments to consider the
subject.

Hanley Seeks to Show
Malt Sales Are Legal

Irietors of the Bee Hive grocery
store, 822 North Sixteenth street,
through their attorney James H.

I NAL prohibition act. Attorney
Hanley stated that he has rulings
from Federal Prohibition Director
Haynes in Washington that the pro-
hibition department does not intend
to interfere with the sale Of malt
and hops as they are not considered
contraband., The case will be heard
by Judge ]. w. Woodrough on

Hitchcock Makes
Attack on Ink
Portion Of Tariff
Omaha Senator Finds Writ.
ing Fluid Schedule Par
ticularly Objec-
tionable.
BY GEORGE F. AUTHIER.

=
Washington, May l3.-(Special)
Telegram. )-Senator Hitchcock OF
Nebraska attacked the tariff bill in
the senate today, directing his at
tack against the ink schedule. This
schedule is particularly objectionable
to the Nebraskan and he berated
it soundly. He said:
"The proposed tariff on ink in the
pending bill is typical of many Of
the iniquities in the bill. 1t pretends
to be protective tariff. bu. the situ-
alton with regard to ink production
does not in the slightest degree JUS
tify the increase in the tariff"
Imports Are Cited.
"The fact is at the present time
that the American producers control
the American market and have for
many years. The production OF
writing inks in the United States is
valued at about $3,000,000 a year,
and the production Of printing ink at
something like. $l2,0O0,0OO a year.
This country imports almost no ink
compared with these hrge figures
of production. The average import
of ink, for instance, between 1910
and 1918, was only $4,000 a year.
Since that time it has been less. The
average import from 1918 to 1921, in
elusive, was less than $4,000 a year.
During all those years from 1910 to
the present time our exports OF Ink
have been large. Between 1910 and
1918 they averaged over 100000 a
wear, Since 1918 they have averaged
S2,OOO,00O a year. Notwithstanding
these figures, it is proposed in the
pending bill to double the tariff on
ink and raise it from IS to 50 per cent
Even under the old Payne-Aldrich
bill, the tariff was only Is per cent,
and the Underwood bill in 1918 re-
duced that tariff to Is, per cent. Dur
ing the nine years that the country
has operated under the Underwood
tariff it has produced its own ink,
imported only about $4,000 Of It a
year and exported about $2,OOO,OOo a
year.
Says is Per Cent Ample.
"To double this tariff at this time
cannot possibly serve any purpose OF
protection, because if protection were
needed at all it is amply provided by
the Is per cent tariff. All that
doubling the. rate will do will be to
give a license and an opportunity to
the ink manufacturers OF the United
States to increase their prices with
out any hope of competition from
abroad to save the consumers"
