The fund is to be created by a

the use of the money which would
come 10 them under the terms of
the federal adjusted compensation
bill. which the legion leader as
serts is certain of passage by the

pool will be used to help solve the
problems Of veterans who want to
work but cannot find employment.

Commander MacNider makes the
point in his statement just issued
that there are 10000 men in hos
pitfalls under government care for
infrmities caused by military or
naval service, and he claims that
not more than two-thirds Of these
are drawing the disability compen-
Sation to which they are entitled.
He states that the legion will
shortly launch a campaign to bring
to the attention of war veterans
bureau the case of every man who
is not receiving the benefits to
which he is entitled. If every case
is not adiudicated fairly and
promptly, he says the time will be
at hand for an examination of tha
bureaus affairs.

Senate Payes
Way to Pass
Tariff To-day
Disposes of As Proposed
Amendments TO Bill i'm
Brisk Session; Higher
Rates Proponents Win

From The TribaHe's Washington Bursdu
WASHINGTON. Aug. 1s.-The Sem
ate tonight had paved the way for
passage of the tariff bill tomorrow
afternoon. Senator McGumber was as
sured the measure would pass, with one
or two Republicans voting against it.
Forty-fve proposed amendments to
the bill, reserved for consideration in
the Senate proper, were discussed this
afternoon and evening. Work in COM
mittee of the whole was concluded
last night, and proceedings to-day were
in the last parliamentary stage. Sem
ator McCumber made an effort to pass
the bill tonight, but found this was
imRossible.
In the final struggle over sugar
rates the Smoot amendment for a rate
of 1.84 cents pound on Cuban sugar,
an increase of "a cent over the House
rate, was sustained by vote of 35 to
33. Under this amendment the gen.
eral rate on sugar is 2 0-100 cents d
pound, or 30-100 of cent above the
House rate.
Absentees Save Smoot Plan
Absence of several Republican Sena-
tors who were opposed to the higher
rate prevented defeat for the Smoot
amendment Senator Pepper, who
voted against the Smoot amendment
in committee Of the whole, voted for
it tonight. Republican Senators who
voted. against the higher rate were
Calder, Colt, Edge, France, Freling-
huysen, Hale, Lenroot, Lodge and
Sutherland. Senator Wadsworth voted
to retain the Smoot rate. Democrats
who voted for the Smoot amendment
were Broussard; Jones, of New Mex
leo, Kendrick and Ransdell.
Senator Harrison moved to make the
rate on Cuban sugar 1.40 cents a
pound. This was beaten Al to "a. The
question of sustaining the Smoot
Harrison and Stanley spoke against
Broussard for it. Senator Harrison
said the higher rate would cost con-
sumers more than S10O,000,000. SEN
ator Smoot charged that the refners
of this country had control of the
sugar prices. In reply Senator STAN
ley declared that if Senator Smoot's
charges were true, Attorney General
Daugherty should either be in an asy-
lum for imbeciles or in the peniten-
tiary.
In to-day's voting the Senate Com
mittee and the exponents of higher
rates won, with only few exceptions.
The first question which arose was
the Bursum amendment, increasing the
duties on coal tar dyes. This is in
tended to make the duties 7 cents per
pound and rs per cent ad valorem.

late yesterday afternoon, is said by

in the neighborhood Of 80 degrees. The
maximum yesterday was 81. as against

Mayor Hylan issued an order late
yesterday throwing open the lawns in
all New York City parks for use by the

The news spread with amazing rapid
