Frelinghuysen Offers Amend ment Authorizing Tariff Commission to Investigate
 Rates-IncreaSeS Body
By Associated Press

Washington, June 21.-Technically, the tariff bill was before the Senate today, but there was no action upon any part of it and it came in for only brief discussion. This was in con .nection with an amendment offered by Senator Frelinghuysen, republi- can, New Jersey, proposing to set up the machinery looking hereafter on scientific tariff"
 Under the terms of the amend ment. which is understood to have some support on both sides of the chamber, the tariff commission would be increased to ten. members. ap- pointed by the President for life and the difference in conversion costs in the United States and abroad and to recommend tariff rates sufficient to cover that cost.
 The commissioners would receive salaries of sf2.o0o each, and would be empowered to employ necessary expert assistance. The amendment proposes an appropriation of s1 .000,- 900 to cover investigation costs and 1t would require the commission to recommend new tariff rates by De- ccmber 1. 1928. and every six months thereafter in such cases as 1t found that the rates in force were higher or lower than the differences be- tween conversion costs.

 ridge of Jasper and Wiley Logan
 of Gadsden before the Senate conn
 mittee on agriculture today.
 In addition. L. sevier. president of the Alabama Manufacturers associ- ation. submitted an argument in writing in which the claim was stressed that industry was dependent on the distribution of electrical power rather than It's application at single point in the state.
 The testimony of these witnesses 7tended to array against the insistence of Henry Ford that along with other government properties he be given the Gorgas steam plant, all the coal mine operators of the state. and the manufacturers.
 Operation of Plant No. Thomas W. Martin, president of the Alabama Power company, appearing as a witness before tho committee, declared that he would be willing so to amend the offer of the Alabama Power company as to guarantee tho continuous operation of nitrate plant No. 2. which, 1t was contemplated, the government would dedicate to the manufacture of fertilizer. There had been some question as to whether the 10000 secondary horse power which the company offered to deliver free of charge to the government for the operation of the nitrate plant would suffice to guarantee operation throughout the dry season. Mr Martins proposed amendment would require the company. in the dry sea son, to deliver primary horse power in such quantities as to make ups for any deficiency in secondary MT. Martin, in speaking of his offer of s2,500, ,o00 for the Rov- ernment's interest in Gorgas, de- clared that he would b. willing to negotiate with the govern- ment in adjusting the difference between the amount he offered Hn0 the FsSt0DU,UVO valuation placed on the property by the government.

Follow ing the meeting 1t was said that the delegation had decided to maintain silence as to the conclusion 1t had reached.
 Alabamfuns silent The idea prevails. however, that the members of the delegation will support the amendment. While the House Is anxious to accept the action of the Senate. 1t Is understood that 1t would be moved by the attitude of the Alabama delegation as Ala bama. by the expenditure of the vast sum to be appropriated, would be the chief beneficiary.

Rr Associated Preas

Washington, June 2l.-Indicatiohs were given in the House today that unremitting pressure would be ex- erted to bring about action on dispo- sition of the governments properties at Muscle Shoals, Ala.
 Representative Pea of North
 Carolina, advocating from the
 House floor speedy action on ac-
 ceptnnce of the offer of Henry
 Ford for lease and purchase of the properties. disclosed that he
 had made . motion in the rules
 commistee. of which he Is a em-
 Der, for a special order for con-
 siderntlon of the Muscle Shoals
 question by the House. but that
 the committee session wa. ad-
 journed without action.
 The Muscle Shoals proposition has attracted almost as much attention throughout the country as the sub aidv biil.' Mir. Pou said The demo- cratic minority of the rules committee was earnestly in favor of consider ing the bill but the republican ma jority walked out of the room"
 You cannot sidestep the issue" he declared. addressing the republican side. You take your recess trefer . ring to the tentative plan of House leaders to beRin series of three-day recesses about July i). but the time will come and not in lhe very distant future when the rules committee win not adjourn when Muscle Shoals Is brought before it."
 Reply From Campbell
 Mir. Pou's speech brought reply from Chairman Campbell of the rules committee. who declared that the only pressure brought to bear in the committee for immediate consider ation of Muscle Shoals legislation had come from Representative Ppu. Mir. Campbell further asserted that the rule comnitteef could be counted on no counter expedition of Muscle Shoals after members of the House had ample time to consider the various reports submitted from the military committee.
 The matter is one Of great in- portanee," said Mfr. Campbell, "and will not be considered in a rush. When the House takes it up 1t win be with a view of what is best for the public interest and not with any one man."
 Tn addition to the House debate the Muscle Shoals question received the attention of the Senate agricuT- ture committee, which, in resuming It's hearing on the Ford and othcr offers, heard witnesses testify that the Gorgas, Ala, steam power plant was greater factor in the indus trial development of Alabama than It vas in the Ford plan for develop ment of Muscle Shoals.

Herrin, H., June 21.--Darkness tonight compelled cessation of hos tilities between striking union miners and employees of the Southern Illinois Coal company's strip mine near here, after hours of fighting, in which thousands of shots were exchanged. One union miner is known to have been killed. Reports were currert that 12 to 15 employees of the strip mine were killed, but these could not be verified because of the con fusion at the camp.
 Two union miners were wound

 were wounded slightly and three
 mine gunrds were reported seri-

 sons, many armed, were rushing
 to the camp tonight and the sit-

cation for the mothers pardon, and the attorneys hope to win over the others.
 The confession of Paule Jacques came at the close of her attorney's 5 summing up. He concluded; This child I know. for two years. I have proclaimed this truth"
 Then the girl arose and said:
 You wish the truth; then I will tell it to you.'
 Heard Gasping
 Her confession was, in part, a repetition of what she had told the police a few days after the murder, on July 31 1920. She said she heard a shot and went to the door of her stepfather's room, hearing peculiar throat gaspings. She called to her mother who tried to explain away the noises, but the daughter finally entered Bessarabo's room, where lay the stepfather, shot in the head. Paule. however, was shaken and hesitatingly described the scene only indirectly.
 Then she went on:
 T was i'll in the prison hospital. said I want my mother l saw her and she said to me, I swear to you | Ii is a secret. l do not know what happened. You thought you saw sorething in the mirror; you are mistaken.
 Nothing could have given me greater joy. I nursed this illusion then I remembered things, and realized there was no secret. under stood it all"
 The girl told how she wanted to cali the police at the time of the discovery of the crime, but instead obeyed her mother, who urged upon her that there must be no scandal in the house."
 The court. according to custom, awarded one franc damages to Bes- sarabo's relatives. who had taken part in the prosecution.

Then the mother. who had just been condemned by her daughte-, be- came her daughters defender; she implpred the jurors mercy for her daughter and later, when she was convicted and the daughter acquit- ted. she thanked the jury for set- ting her daughter free.
 Forgive my daughter" she begged them. Pardon this child. As for me, who am old and withered. aban- don myself to you. This is iot a reproach woman should remain has had youth; she has lost it in work. in doing her duty. She is gull ty because she is old.''
 No Women in Jury
 Mother to the last, she remained bitingly sarcastic, saying 10 the jury and judges:
 T see only men here. There are l5.0o0 women In your prisons. but none among my judges"
 An hour later when the verdict was read. she smiled when she heard that her daughter was freed, with a tenderness that amazed those who had watched her studied coldness. her hard face, throughout the trial. She smiled as she told the jurors: T thank you for having acquitted my daughter As for me. l am inno- cent"
 The woman's attorney, M. Moro Giafferi, pleaded her cause with en- ergy.
 Asks Pity
 T ask pity" he said to the three judges who were about to impose sentence. T ask pity for this woman. who has just been condemned as an assassin. who has suffered so greatly who has wept such bitter tears. yet who is happy to see her child ac- quilted. I leave the fate of this woman to your conscience."

Sympathy Is All u. S. Can Give Armenia

YMPATHY is all the United States
~ can give Armenia. The United
States sincerely hopes that the League
of Nations will be able to do some
thing to relieve the political, economic
and financial condition of Armenia, un-
der the terms of the new agreement
which apparently has been reached
among the allied ministers to turn the
country over to the league for admins
tration.
High administration officials admit
ted that this country is watching de-
velopments In connection with the fate
of Armenia, with interest. 1t is known
that Secretary, of State Hughes. him
self, has always had very sympa-
thetic attitude toward Armenia.
The administration has not lost sight
of the fact that the allies offered the
United States mandate over Armenia,
but the officials are bearing in mind
that any enterprise by this govern
ment would undoubtedly call for the
use of considerable body of troops In
the fight to evict the Bolshevists who
are now In control.
There Is no lack of sympathy on the
part of this administration, 1t was as
serted, but the fact remains that the
