HARDING WILL. NOT
CONSIDER CUTTING
TARIFF ON SUGAR
President Does Not Believe 1t
Is Cause Of Recent
Price Boosts

WASHINGTON, June President
Harding will not consider a modifica-
ton of the tariff rates on sugar as
means of bringing down the price
of that comm odity, it was said today
at the White House after the execu-
tive had discussed the general tariff
situation which Chairman Marvin of
the tariff commission.
Modification of the sugar schedule
in the opinion of the President could
not affect the present situation to
any considerable degree and more
over would discourage further devel-
opment OF the American domestic
sugar industry which the Presid ent
believes provides the surest way to
remedy conditions that now obtain.
o O O
Use Flexible Provision.
The spokesman for the President
did not disclose details of the execu-
tive's conference with Chairman Mar
win but it was understood the whole
tariff situation was gone over with
q view to expediting action on the
inquiries instituted by the commits
sion under the flexible provisions of
the Fordney McCumber act Some
criticism has been directed against
the administration of this provision,
the critics holding that it was being
allowed to become practically in
operative.
The President, 1t was said, is deter
mined to make the flexible provisions
real and active and not to allow them
in any way to become a dead letter.
o O O
Expect Action. b
Chairman Marvin after his call at
the White House said that recommen-
dations in the cases of two or three
and possibly four or five schedules
would be ready for consideration by
the President before he leaves on
his trip to Alaska. In such an event
it is expected that the executive will
act Immediately as by SO doing he
would be able to cite instances of
the usefulness of the flexible sections
should he discuss the tariff while in
the west.
The White House spokesman fur
Their asserted that although the ad-
ministration as yet had reported no
specific accomplishments under the
flexible sections it would conduct an
active, continuing and thorough
survey to determine whether foreign
competition was interfering with
American production through lack of
adequate rates and whether existing
rates were so high as to unduly in :
crease prices to consumers

OLD NEGRO ADDRESSES
SOLONS OF FLORIDA
Unusual Honor Given Former Slave
BY State Legislature

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, June l.
Tottering into the lower house Of
the legislature shortly before the
1928 session adjourned sine die to-
night, a grizzled negro of ante-bel-
lum days was given the floor. In a
hesitant voice the old man thanked
the members for having passed a
general pension measure, under the
terms of which he would have re-
ceived compensation for his service
In fighting for "Virginny and my
marster."
The old negro was extolled in
speeches, and the legislature broke
into singing, I'm Going To the
Promised Land" The members took
up a collection for him. Then some
one, becoming skeptical, inquired If
the measure actually had passed. An
investigation revealed it had died on
the senate calendar.
House members escorted the vet
eran to the senate, where dollars
were bestowed on him from all sides.
Chief among the accomplishments
of the legislature which passed into
history at OH o'clock tonight was
the passage of measure to abolish
the lash in county convict camps and
the system of leasing of prisoners
after January l next.
