Flexible Tariff
Plan Criticized
By Democrats
Walsh Charges Provisions
That Give Discretionary
Power TO the President
Are L unconstitutional
Republicans Defend Idea
McCumbcr Denies the Pro.
posed System Is Invasion
of X e hts of Congress

WASHINGTON, May S.-An attack
on the flexible tariff plan proposed by
the Senate Finance Committee or the
recommendation of President Harding,
was launched to-day in the Senate.
Chairman McCumber, in charge Of the
tariff bill, announced that some of the
objections raised to the plan would
be considered by the committee before
final Senate action is taken on il.
Senator Walsh Democrat, of Mon
prepared address in which he cited
many authorities and court decisions
to support his argument that the pro
visions were unconstitutional. Senator'S
Underwood, of ALBANIA, and Simmons,
of North Carolina, the Democratic
leaders. joined him. arguing that for
the first time in the history of the
country It was proposed to protect the
profits of American manufacturers.
Chairman McCumber and Senator
Smoot, of Utah, ranking Republican on
the Finance Committee, defended the
plan. the former insisting that if the
an exorbitant figure it was not con-
templated that the President would in
crease tariff duties.to protect him.
Smoot Holds Rule Valid
Senator Smoot expressed doubt that
the President would have to act IN
more than one case out Of thousand
and added that the rule laid down
under which he could act was so plain
that there was no doubt about its con-
stitutionality
Senator Walsh told the Senate that
the Constitution specifically reserved
to Congress the power to lay and col
lect taxes and import duties and that
thority. He also attacked the flexible
plan on the ground that no provision
was made for judicial review of the
Presidents action in changing rates OF
class fcations, and contended that the
rule laid down under which the Presi-
dent was to act to "equalize condl'
tons Of competition in trade was SC
indefinite that the President could take
in ~ consideration many elements aside
from production costs.
In this connection the speaker sale
debate on the bill had disclosed that
the committee made no investigation
into the re atlve cost OF production II
this country aad abroad, but had beer
guided largely. if not wholly, by the
prices of the domestic and foreign ar
ticles in the American market.
McCumbcr Explains Plan
Replying to Senator Walsh Sena OF
McCumber said the President woulc
be authorized to take into considera
tion every factor bearing upon the
question of competition in trade ane
that these factors might include th>
matter of exchange, labor costs, freigh
rates, export duties and laws and reg
ulations in the country of origin ant
any other matters affecting equality il
the markets Of the United States
Senator McCum Der said the only rule
to guide the President was to impose
duties which would bring about equal
ity in conditions OF competition il
trade Turning 10 the question Of The
consttutionality OF the proposed pro
visions. he declared that the plan out
lined did not approach in broadnes:
the law under which the Interstate
Commerce Committee operated.

Lecturer and Explorer, Once
Engaged TO Baroness Won

Have Dual Personality

Loreuz Dow Covington, lecturer, eX-
plorer and an authority on Egyptology
was sent to the penitentiary yesterday
for a term of from six months TO three
years as dangerous to the community.
His sentence followed his conviction
in Special Sessions on a charge Of hav-
ing indecent pictures and pamphlets IN
his possession
"Oue side of your brain appears to
be of high caliber.' said Justice H"r-
bert in imposing sentence, 'While the
other side is low and degenerate. Your
case ls sad, but we believe that you
are dangerous to the community and
that it is our duty to put you away
Thomas Koran, a probation officer
who investigated Covington's case, re
ported to the court that the defendant
seemed TO have Or. JekyllMr. Hyde
personality"
Covington was arrested March q un-
der circumstances SO peculiar that he
was sent to Bellevue Hospital for OBJ
servation as to his sanity. Dr.. NJ. S.
Gregory, Of the psychopathic ward, re
ported after CoVington had been his
charge for ten days that the defendant
was sane.
John S. Sumner. secretary of the Now
Cork Society for the Suppression of
Vice, caused his arrest. Sumner had
received information from Covington
which led to the arrest aud conviction
OF several persons on charges similar
to that Of which Covington later was
convicted Covington received $50 for
the information he gave. In the course
Of preparing the case against the men
he had informed upon it was discovered
that they had bought the pictures and
pamphlets from Covington.
Covington was educated at CHECKER
ing Institute, Cincinnati, He served
under Sir Robert Hart in the Chinese
imperial customs navy, spent ten years
exploring and excavating in the Sahai,
and several years in research work and
iecturing IN Vienna, Paris and London

sations, backed by hearsay testimony
and made by "a gang Of criminal inter

General Semenof, who signed hlms I
"Ataman Gregory Semenott, concluded
by saving that he intended to continue
