TARIFF COMMISSION
TOPROBE Il RATES
Flexible Provisions to Come
Into Play During Study of
Possible Revisions.

The Tariff Commission will begin
Investigations under flexible pro-
visions Of the new tariff act. TO de-
termine whether the rates on seven
teen commodities are equitable. it
was formally announced last night
Chairman Marvin of the commission
stated il was the commissions in
tent to begin work Immediately in q
preliminary way looking TO a sweep
ing study of production costs and
other facts.
Sugar Rate to Come Up.
The investigation Will be limited to
rates against which complaints have
been filed and the decision 10 proceed
with these inquiries does not, accord
ing TO Mr.. Marvin constitute a decla-
ration Of the commissions policy or
program of action under the flexible
provisions. Announcement of the in
restigations was held UP temporarily
over Sunday pending instructions
from President Harding as to his in
terpretation of the new laws feX-
ible sections.
The rates coming within the scope
OF the investigation affect the fol-
lowing articles: Sugar, cotton warp
knit fabric, cotton gloves made Of
warp knit fabric, cotton hosiery for
infants, pig iron. oXalic acid. diethyl
barbituric acid and derivatives there
Of. barium GioXide. casein. logwood
extract. potassium chlorate. sodium
nitrate. mirror plates. Swiss pattern
files. paint brush handles. wall pock-
cts and artificial or ornamental fruits.
vegetables. grains, leaves. flowers and
stems or parts thereof.
Expect Long Inquiry.
No official statement was made as
to whether the complaints sought in
creases or decreases IN the rates. but
it was learned that about two thirds
Of the requests for revision were for
modification upward. The others
sought decreases in the rates. chief
among them being the complaint
which asks a reduction in the duty
on sugar.
The sugar rate appears to be the
only one over which any lengthy fight
was waged during congressional de-
bate on the tariff bill. and the study
of that rate, therefore. seems certain
TO lead to wide inquiry into all
phases of the industry. Most of the
other rates, it was stated at the COM
mission, are on articles not imported
in such quantities as to indicate that
a ng-drawn-out investigation will
follow. 1t was made plain, however.
that the commissions rules of pro-
cedure will be observed in all cases
and a thorough investigation made.

FORT PIERCE, Fla, March 20
This thriving little city in the St
Lucie grapefruit district was all
a-fiutter today in expectation of en-
tertaining President Harding and his
vacation party. The presidential party
passed by Fort Pierce on the cruise
down the Indian river ten days ago,
and there was great disappointment,
for elaborate plans had been made for
the entertainment of President and
Mrs. Harding, and the course of the
Fort Pierce Golf and Country Club
had been gone over with a currycomb
The President then conferred the
favor of his presence on Vero. a rival
town fourteen miles north OF here,
where lives a large Ohio colony
Tentative plans of the President to-
day, however, call for a stop here
and then a resumption Of the cruise
toward st. Augustine.
HoBE SOUND, Fla. March 90
President Harding again yesterday
showed that his heart inclines more
toward golf than toward fishing or
other recreational pursuits.
" men the PRESIDENT and Mrs. Hard
ing, with other members of their va
cation party, left Palm Beach this
morning it was understood that the
chief executive would spend a por-
ton of the day fishing for tarpon in
the vicinity Of Lake Worth inlet. He
was presented with a specially made
tarpon rod while in Miami. and 1t
was assumed that he would try it
out at his first opportunity. The
golf bugs with the party were so
sure that the President and former
Director Of the Budget Dawes were
going to spend several hours FISHING,
that they left the boat and motorsd
back TO Palm Beach. where they could
follow their bent.
The morning passed with the house
boat Pioneer steadily chugging along
northward and the afternoon began
with no order to stop for fishing.
About o'clock. when the BOAT had
arrived off this resort. an order came
to proceed to the Island Inn pier
here and no sooner had the gang
plank been lowered than the Presi-
dent walked down il, in his golfng
togs. Then followed two rounds over
the nine-hole Island Inn course.
which lies along the ocean side.

The new traffic regulations will
not be adopted by the Commits sioners

SHIPPING INTERESTS
ARE INVITED TOD. C..

The United States Shipping Board
yesterday requested that all interests
identified with the American Mer-
chant Marine assist in formulating
a policy to make possible "the liqui-
dation of the government fleet and the
taking over by private interests such
routes as show prospects of becoming
self-sustaining."
Commissioner Lissner, chairman OF

dressed identic letters to the Ameri-
can Steamship Owners Association.

the following questions which, 1t was
understood, indicate the basis on
which the new policy will be con-
structed:
IN your opinion could buyers be
found for Shipping Board vessels who
would give a guarantee to maintain
these vessels upon Il prescribed serE-
ice if the board in return for this
guarantee expressed Willingness to
sell the ships at less than the world
market price for similar tonnage?
"Over what period of time do you
believe it is practicable to require a
guarantee Of service?
What in your opinion should be
the boards policy with regard to the
sale of good tonnage which is not
required for operation upon desirable
trade routes, especially as to Ca) sale
to citizens, (b) sale to aliens?
How Capital Can BE Raised.
ITO what extent and on what terms
can capital be raised upon shipping in
today'S financial market, and what
can be recommended to facilitate the
financing of purchases from the
board?"

By Tie Associated Press
NEW YORK, March 2o.-The Dor
othy keenan, murder case took
sharp turn today, when the police
began investigating a tip that the
model had been slain after she had
to cooperate in plot to
blackmail the mysterious Mr.. Mar
shall" her elderly and wealthy ad
mirer.
A score of detectives were dis
patched to check-up on confidential
received by the police to
the effect that despite the fact that
Mr.. MARSHALL was reported to have
exercised discretion in affairs of the
heart. Miss keenan, had in her pos
session package of letters from him.
This information came as sensa
ton, after it had been reported that
MIR. Marshall" reputed to be a Bos-
ton manufacturer. whose identity has
not been revealed by the district at
torneys office, had kept his real
names from the girl.
Suggestion spurned.
According to the information supplied
the police. the letters from Mr.. Mar
shall were in Miss Keenan's apartment
on West 51th street the night before
che was found dead in bed with an
empty chloroform bottle nearby. Miss
keenan, was said to have been ap-
preached by one of her male friends,
with the suggestion that the letters be
put to practical use to extract money
from Mr.. Marshall"
Il have never done anything like that
and l would never consent to such
thing now" the model was said to have
replied.
The orig inator of the blackmail plot
then was reported to have become angry
and threatened Miss keenan,
After this scene Miss keenan, was
said to have placed In her private vault
at the National City Bank at least one
letter. The police said the box would
be opened today.
"MarshalI" Informed.
The model was said to have told
friends of the blackmail suggestion,
and they informed "Mr. Marshall"
keenan, suite the night Of the murder
with his secretary to get the letters
The police claimed to have knowl-
edge that several persons had keys to
the apartment, and advanced the
theory that promoters of the black
mail plot, finding themselves thwart-
ed, chloroformed the girl and then
took whatever jewels they could find
Detectives were searching today for
hitherto unmentioned character,
who was alleged to have threatened
the girl and held her in fear for six
months. The police picked up this
clue through a former tenant of the
apartment house. who said the model
had appealed to him for protection.
Mrs Anna keenan,, the girls mother
accompanied by her son and detec-
tives today opened her daughters de-
posit box and then left the bank with
out making known what they had
found in the vault. II was learned
that the girls jewelry had been in
