theatre which was wrecked Saturday

Preparations to raise the walls of
the theatre were underway today, the

Col. Charles Keller, engineer com
missioner of the district held the opin-
ion today, after a personal survey of
the wreckage, that the collapse of the
roof was caused by a defect in mate
rial and not by a fault of design.
Building Commissioner Healy also be-
lieved that plans for the roof were
practical and sound. He said it was
OF the truss type of construction and
a standard design used to cover a
large expanse of interior where it is
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.

HOPE OF PROSPERITY,
IS SCHWAb'S OPINION
CBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-No tariff
bill will build a foundation for pros
perity unless it provides an American
valuation basis to remedy the hole In
our present laws which the fluctua-
tions in foreign exchange have torn
in it." Charles NJ. Schwab Of New York
declared in a letter read today before
the tariff convention here of the Ma
tional Associations of Manufacturers,
by J. f Edgerton, president Of he
association.
To-day we are confronted with a
basic weakness in our tariff policy
which is affecting injuriousiy the
whole industrial fabric of the nation"
Mr. Schwab said Fluctuations In
foreign exchange are playing havoc
with wages, prices and orders. Be-
cause our present tariff laws were
framed at a time when foreign moneys
were normal they are today actually
imperative as far as protecting labor
and industry or yielding revenue are
concerned.
To Aid People
Congress is struggling to enact o
tariff bill which will enable us as a
people and a nation to work for our
selves, our country and the world,
but no tariff will build a foundation
for prosperity, which does not remedy
the hole in our present laws, which the
fluctuations in exchange have torn.
I'VE 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 ef-
fective way of doing this is by sub
stituting American standards of value
for the present archaic standards of
foreign values"

promise plan supported by President
Harding.

pected TO take but a few days. 1t was

bat another plenary session would be
called tomorrow afternoon, following
that for the naval announcement to
permit formal ratification of the dozen
or more resolutions relating to China
which have now received committee
approval only.

been holding up completion of the
