Irish Favor An Italian
DIV AaaOcinted Press


Rome, Jan. 31.-"It was an English
speaking pontiff (Adrian IV), who
gave Ireland to England in the 18th
century; therefore, we do not favor
any but an Italian for the throne OF
st. Peter" declared member of the
party of Cardinal Logue, primate OF
ireland, who arrived here yesterday
"The incumbent of this high office
must speak the Italian language, be
intimately acquainted with the deli
cate relationship between the Vatican
and are Quirinal, and understand the
psychology of the Italian government
and people.
"The Holy See encompasses all
peoples and all countries, and must
not identify itself too closely with
any government, for there would be
danger that it would be used as an
instrument for the achievement of a
purpose not in the interest of the
whole world"

LIKELY TO Be ELECTED
BENED|CT'S SUCCESSOR
(By Associated Press)

Rome, Jan. 31-Interest in the
choice Of a successor to Pope Beme-
dict is increasing as the time draws
near for assembling of the Sacred
Conclave, and many attempts to find
an indication of the result are being
made.
Cardinal laurent, secretary of the
congregation of the propaganda, al
though raised to the purple only last
year, is understood to be favored by at
least thirty members of the Sacred
College who believe in rapproche-
ment with the Italian government. At
the same time he is said to be accep-
table to those opposed to closer re-
lations with the Quirinal:
The name of Cardinal Ratti, arch
bishop of Milan, mentioned previously
as favored by the peace" group head
ed by Cardinal Gasparri, is not heard
SO often now, and the section headed
by Cardinal Merry del Val, which had
been credited with favorfng Cardinal
Maffi, archbishop of Pisa, is report
ed ais ready for compromise before
the balloting begins.

AMERICAN STANDARDS
OF VAL UAT|ON ONLY
HOPE ASSERTS SCHWAB


Washington, Jan. 31.--No tariff
bill will build foundation for pros
perity unless it provides an Ameri-
can valuation basis to "remedy the
hole in our present laws which the
fluctuations in foreign exchange have
torn in it," Charles M. Schwab, of
New York. declared in letter read
today before the tariff convention
here of the National Association of
Manufacturers by J. E. Edgerton,
president of the association.
"Today we are confronted with a
basic weakness in our tariff policy
which is affecting injuriously the
whole industrial fabric of the ma
tion," Mr.. Schwab said. "Fluctua-
tions in foreign exchange are playing
havoc with wages, prices and orders.
Because our present tariff laws were
framed at time when foreign mon
eys were normal, they are today ac-
tually imperative as far as protect
ing labor and industry or yielding
revenue are concerned.
Congress is struggling to enact a
tariff bill which will enable u.s. as a
people and a nation, to work for our
selves, our country and the world,
but no tariff will build foundation
for prosperity, which does not rem
edy the hole in our present laws
which the fluctuations in foreign
exchange have torn in it.
"We have American standards IN
everything but our tariff. Today, IN
my opinion, the hour has come when
we should put American standards in
our tariff laws. The simple and et-
fective way of doing this is by sub
stituting American standards OF
value for the present archaic stand
ards of foreign values"

Increasing Demand of
This Country For
Spanish Goods
MORE OLIVES AND OIL
Depreciation of Ameri-
can Dollar Also Is
a Factor
(Ry Associated Pressl

Madrid, Jan. 31.-The trade bal
ance between Spain and the United
States in December favored Spain
for the first time in many years.
The chief cause of this change was
the increased demand in the United
States for Spanish olives, olive oil,
nuts, fruits, essences and herbs,
while Spaniards were unable to i'm
port much from the United States
up to the end of last year in conse-
quence of the high value of the dol
lar. This, however, has since de-
preciated with the result the Spanish
demand for American cotton textile
and other machinery is improving
rapidly.
The cotton mills of both Spain and
Portugal are working at high pres
sure, those in Portugal using large
quantities of both American and
Brazilian cotton and selling their
product to Spain, while Spanish
mills are using about 1000 bales of
cotton daily. 95 per cent of which is
American grown.
The Spanish government which has
completed revision of the tariff, in
tends to avail itself in the future to
a much greater extent of the system
of ad valorem duties, and to this end
purposes establishing an office in
Madrid for fixing values instead of
replying to consular invoices.
New Treaty With France
Meanwhile negotiations for new
commercial treaty between France
and Spain are proceeding, and an
agreement will probably be announc-
ed shortly. The treaty is expected
to abolish the co-efficient surcharges
upon articles from countries with de-
preciated moneys, thus apparently
favoring importations from those ma
tions, but at the same time will levy
duties as though the French franc,
for instance, were par value.
The gold surcharge will be some
what modified for countries such as
the United States and Great Britain
whose moneys are quoted higher than
the Spanish peseta. What now
amounts to double surcharge will be
abolished, thus placing those nations
in better position to compete for
Spanish trade.
Some items of the new tariff are
of interest to exporters in the Unit
ed States. Automobiles, since the
cabinets further revision of duties,
stand at 20 per cent ad valorem for
cars selling below 10000 pesetas, and
25 per cent for those above that
sum. "a peseta normally is worth
1913 cents). The cabinet is consider
ing a suggestion to make duty on
closed cars 35 per cent. Gasoline is
increased from 10 to 35 pesetas, and
lubricating oil, II to DO pesetas per
hundred kilogram, but considerable
decreases in duties on refined oils to
permit development in refining.

Washington, Jam. 31-While the
city began the burial of its dead to-
day, District of Columbia authorities
pushed ther investigation of the
Knickerbocker theater disaster and
the senate was expected to take ac-
ing an independent inquiry by that
ton on the resolution of Senator Cap
per, Republican. of Kansas, propos-
body. A resolution for the same pur-
pose also was pendin in the house.
A re-check of the death list by the
police today showed that the final to-
tai, outside of the expected deaths
of injured, OF which there are now
three, probably would be reduced to
95 from the total of 108 carried yes
terday. Of the total of 1873 injured,
62 remained i'm hospitals today, with
dozen reported in critical condition.
E. H. Shaughnessy, second assistant
postmaster general, although includ-
ed among these, was said to be still
showing improvement today.
In addition to an exhaustive inves-
tigation of the disaster being pressed
Il by the District of Columbia commits
sioners, the federal grand jury was
ready today to call the first witnesses
in it's effort to fix the blame. The
coroner's jury had requested the war
department today to assign army en-
gineers to make a study OF the struc-
ture of the motion picture theater
which was wrecked Saturday night
when its snow-laden roof caved in on
hundreds in the audience below.
Preparations to raze the walls of
the theater were under way to-day,
the searching of the ruins for victims
having been completed yesterday.
Was Defect In Material
Colonel IOharIes Keller, Engineer
commissioner of the District, held
the opinion today that the collapse
of the roof was caused by defect in
material and not by a fault OF de-
sign. Building Commissioner Healy
also believed that plans for the roof
were practical and sound. He said
it was of the truss type of construc-
tion and a standard design used to
cover a large expanse of interior
where it lis desired to avoid the use
of girders and columns as supports.
Practically all of the larger motion
picture houses use the same design,
he said.
Reductions in the death list which
the police early today believed would
he final resulted from the tentative
elimination of eight names for which
the police have been unable to ind
any addresses. There are, morrow
er. no unidentified bodies which might
account for these and careful check
of hospitals and undertaking estab-
lishments had failed to establish any
victims of these names. They are:
D. N. Walsh, Miss M. E. Walsh, Mr..
and Mrs. Russell Maine, Albert Ba-
ker, Paulns Lamby, W. M. Crawford
and F. H. Hall. In additions to these,
Miss Gertrude Taylor, of Washington,
was found to have been reported dead
bv error, and Eruesto Natiello, who
was killed, was found to have been
listed again as Ernest Martello. These
ten examinations would reduce the to-
tai to s5.
