 DUTY ON HIDES
New Tariff Bill Will Impose Import Duty of l5 Per
 Cent on Hides

WASHINGTON, Mar. 15.-An i'm port duty of 15 per cent ad valorem on hides has been voted by senate fin ance committee Republicans who arc rewriting the Fordney tariff bill. Hides were on the free list under both the PayneAldrich and Underwood laws, and would have so renfaiffed un- der the Fordney measure.
 There were two separate votes on this schedule, the first having been five to four against any duty Leaders of the Republican agricultural tariff bloc insisted that cattle raisers be protected and on a reconsideration of the first vote, the 15 per cent rate was agreed upon, also by vote of to 4 It was indicated that the fight to retain hides on the free list would be carried to the floor of the senate.
 The 15 per cent ad valorem duty will not quite equal the rates asked by the Republican agricultural-tariff bloc, which was two cents a pound on green hides and six cents a pound on dried hides, but it was thought to be fairly satisfactory to that bloc.
 Senator Gooding, Idaho, chairman of the bloc, was heard again today in executive session by the Republican tariff makers on the duties of wool. He insisted upon a basic rate of 33 cents pound on the secured content which the committee majority has agreed upon tentatively.
 The Idaho senator said senators from the agricultural states were de termined to have protection for the farm industry equal to that given oth- CT industries because the farmers had been hit perhaps even harder than the other industries. He added that the Republican party could not defend a tarift bill that did not give equal pro- tection all along the line.

to recommit with instructions 70 the committee tD re-insert the cash bon us feature and provide for an excess profits tax to finance it. Some con tended that such a motion probably would prevail.
 Those counselling delay beyond next Monday think that before the house acts, there should be an infor- nal conference by house leaders with President Harding. particularly in view of the action of the ways and means committee in voting to report out the bill within 10 minutes after Secretary Mellon and Comptroller of the Currency Crissinger had appear ed by invitation and had opposed the bank loan section of the adjusted cer tificate option. Their idea is that af ter this conference the house Repub- licans could have a party conference at which there could be an agreement to reject all amendments except such as the majority party might agree upon.
 It was indicated in some quarters that the presidents views would be sought by some house leaders immed lately after his return from Florida Saturday. There also is to be a con ference with Speaker Gillett on that day and many members of the house are Of the opinion he will be able to give first hand information as to how the president regards the bill in it's present form and also whether he looks with favor on the plan to put it through under a suspension of the rules.
 Preparation of the committee re- port on the bill was under way to- day" but it was not expected to be ready for formal presentation to the house until late tomorrow. Representative Garner obtained unanimous consent of the house to- day for the filing of minority re- i port up to the time of adjournm ent { of the, house on Saturday. He said privately he would not file any min ority views but added that he could not say whether any would be filed by Representative Kitchin of North Car lima. who voted against the bill in ! committee by proxy.

 Officials of the board Of underwrit- CTS declared that the fire, the most destructive since the city was de- stroyed by flames in 1871, revealed many problems which would have to be met by firemen before they could hope to cope successfully with fires in great modern skyscrapers. The effect of the flames on the Burling- ton Building was declared to show that no sky-scraper is free from fire danger. and that the modern fire de partment is practically helpless against a blaze that gains great head way in the upper floors of tai build ing.
 Insurance men, underwriters and firemen declared that methods would have to be devised to enable fire fighters to get more water to the top of high buildings. The use of water towers, such as are said to have proved effective in New York. by means of which streams of water can Dt iulO iHt Oi si building, also was advocated by the insurance men, who pointed out that the Chicago department lacked ap- paratus Of this character.
 In an effort to fix responsibility for today's fire. former police de- partment employe was questioned af- ter w. T. Schiff, vice president of Schaffer & Company, whose plant was destroyed. said that the man had written him threatening letters. The flames were first observed in the vi cinity of the Schaffer plant. After being questioned, the man was re- leased and Schiff was called and questioned at some length.
 A woman, who was seated in an automobile in front of the Burlington Building just before the fire started across the street, told the police to- day of having seen several men run ming from the shadow of the buildings a few minutes before the first alarm was turned in.

 GHOST |S CHILD
'Spook' Expert Makes Public Report on Investigation
 of Haunted Farm

HALIFAX, N S., Mar. 15.-(By the Associated Press Mary Ellen Mac Donald. foster daughter of MT. and Mrs. Alexander Macdonald, was the ghost of Antigonish, Dr. Walter Franklin Prince, a scientist ghost hunter, declared in report on his investigation of the haunted" Mac Donald home at Caledonia Mills. made public tonight.
 At least, Mar = Ellen set the mys- terious fires which were among the chief ghostly manifestations, Dr. Prince said He held that she was not morally culpable." however. as sch was in ''an altered state of con sciousness," and did not realize what she was doing.
 There is the possibility, support ed by a body of evidence" the report said. that this altered state was brought about by discarnate intel ligence. This is theoretical possi- bility. whereds the external facts seem certain
 Dr. Prince indicated that the braid ing of the COWS tails and the shift ing of farm stock also probably was a result of Mary Ellen's altered state of consciousness"
 The slaps that Harold Whidden, Halifax Herald reporter, and P. c. Carroll, detective, claimed to have suffered from a ghostly hand, after the MacDonalds had been frightened out of their home, however, were not traced to Mary Ellens hand.
 Their experiences. says the report, were probably Of supernormal char acter, which does not necessarily i'm ply that the supernormal cause was spiritualistic. It may have been ow- ing to a psycho-physiologi cause which is perfectly natural, though i'm perfectly normal.
 In other words. Dr. Prince implied. Whidden and Carroll might have slapped each other-or might mereI; have thought they were slapped.

 The next speaker was Leslie Sauns- ders of the Las Vegas Chambef of Commerce, who declared the United States reclamation service in it's re- port, had erred when it stated that Nevada has only 2,000 acres of land witch might be reclaimed.
 We have some S2,000 acres" he said. We don't ask government aid, but desire only net to have our rights impaired. We want allocated to us 32,000 acres"
 Arthur P. Davis, director of the government reclamation service who was present, explained that the ap- parent error was due to the fact that Nevada had net submitted an acreage estimate as other states had.
 George H. Maxwell of Phoenix, re c!anation exeprt, the final speaker of tho day, urged the construction of central reservoir On the Gila river to protect the Imperial Valley and the Yuma Valley from flood dangers.

PACIFIC TREATY
(Continued from Page One)

fngs.
 It was Senator Brandegee who laid the unanimous consent agreement be- fore the senate with statement that he had been prompted to prepare 1t because several Democratic senators had come to him with the suggestion that a time be fixed so they would be free to attend to other duties away from Washington. The "irreconcila- blc" element also had been consulted before the formal proposal was made and had given their assent, although Senator Johnson told the senate he considered it unwise because it would serve to deaden interest and keep sen ators away from the sessions that are to intervene before the final vote. The opposition leaders would not discuss what bearing the agreement might have on their hopes of defeat ing ratification, but conceded private ly that they saw little to be gained by delaying a vote This admission in itself was accepted by those in charge of the treaty as virtually meaning the collapse of any real effort to beat the pact, for which enough pledged votes are claimed to insure ratification.
 It was considered probable tonight that in their campaign to secure res ervations, the opposition now would center attention on the question of ad- hitting outside. powers to the Pacific conferences. Although defeated three times in the fornt of an amendment, proponents of the proposal still be- lieve that if embodied in the right Kind of reservation, it might com mand the support of many who had hesitated to amend the treaty text it. self, because that method would re quire re-opening of the negotiations. In the form presented today by Senator Pittman, the amendment would have limited the outside pow CTS, gaining the benefits of the treaty to those which actually have insulal possessions in the Pacific. The. vote however, was virtually the same as that by which the;two previous drafts were defeated yesterday. Three Re publicans, Borah, Idaho; Johnson, Cal ifornia, and France, Maryland, sup ported it, while three Democrats Pomerene, Ohio; Ransdell, Louisiana, and Williams, Mississippi, voted ill opposition. Senator LaFollette, Re publican Wisconsin, who. supported yesterdays amendment, and Senator Underwood, Democrat, Alabama, who opposed them, were absent when to- days roll call was taken.

 The first development plan submit ted to the commission was that of A. G. McGregOr, Bsbcc, and president of Bisbce Chamber of Commerce and Arizona interests should cooperate in financing and developing the project, instead of relying on federal aid

ported his declaration that Burch did not kill Kennedy. After asserting there was no testimony that Burch was actually seen with shot gun, he said it was absurd to argue that Burch, tent on murder, would bring gun 300 0miles, carrying it around for everyone to see"
 Replying to the states contention that Burch had a rented car on a side road i1 Beverly Glen the night of the killing. Macdonald said the evidence showed that any car that was there, ''if there was one there" left before Kennedy was k:iied.
 He said the. testimony showed that Kennedy was killed between 9 and 9:l0 D. m. He pointed out that the witness who fixed this time testified they did not see 'any signs of an auto mobile in the Sideroad. Reading from the testimony of the states witnesses who said they saw the lights of what the prosecution says was Burcn's car ~MacDonald declared they were un- able to fix any definite time. If they did see car, ne argued, it must have been before the shooting.
 If there was no car there at the time Kennedy was shot, under the states theory, Burch could not have been there," Macdonald said
 Declaring that this went to the very foundation" oS-the states case, Macdonald told the jury that it made inconsequential' the testimony that Eurch rented q car the night of the killing
 In closing, Macdonald said:
 The story of Madalynne Oben- chain is one O f love and devotion You noticed her appearance on the witness stand, where she was sub jected to the most grilling cross examination. I ask you, could it be possible she could be guilty of con spiracy to commit the murder of which she stands charged? No, her love for J. Belton Kennedy was too great
