SUGAR DUTY ISSUE
UP TO PRESIDENT
Tariff Commission Submits
Findings After More Than
18 Months Study.

The question of Revising the sugar
President Coolidge after more than
a year and a half of investigation
and dispute by the Tariff Commission.
The commissions findings, compile
tion of which Senator La Toilette,
Independent candidate for President,
recently charged was being opposed
by representatives of the sugar in
terests," were submitted yesterday to
the President, who alone is empow-
vision of the rates up or down, to
the extent of SO per cent.
Split ON Issue.
The results of the inquiry. which
has embraced sugar-production con-
ditions in Cuba and elsewhere. were
not announced, although it has been
indicated that majority and minority
reports were contemplated by the
commissioners, who had been split
should be lowered or left as they
are-1.76 cents pound on Cuban and
2.2Q on other sugar imports.
Long Fight waged.
The investigation was started at
the direction of President Harding in
March. 1928, and has been marked by
a long and bitter struggle within the
commission and between interests
having opposing views on the rates.
During the struggle the right of
Commissioner Classic, Democratic
member, to suit in. the case was chal-
lenged because Of his wife's interest
in sugar mills in Louisiana. This
was not settled until Congress pro-
hibited payment of salaries to COM
missioners participating in discus
sions affecting commodities in which
they were directly or indirectly in
terested.
Mr. Classics retirement from the
case. on the basis o3 previous dis
closures. apparently left Vice Chair
man Culbertson and Commissioners
Costigan and Lewis in the majority
favoring reductions in the schedule,
and Chairman Marvin and Commits
sioner Burgess in theo minority con-
tending for retention of the present
duties.

NINE BEFORE COURT
IN BAY STATE RIOT
One Sentenced to Jail, Eight
Fined $1O-AII Enter
Appeals.
By the Associated Press,

Dy the Associated PresS.
HAVERVILLE, Mass, August l.
The trial in district court yesterday
of 21 men alleged to have been con-
cerned in the early morning clash
here between Klansmen returning
from an initiation ceremony in Grove
land and others resulted, after an all
day hearing of testimony, in a SEN
tence of 80 days for one man and fines
of $40 each for eight others on
charges on disturbing the peace. They
all appealed.
The cases Of eight men were con-
tinued until tomorrow.
Two still in Hospital.
Two of the four men who received
gunshot wounds in the encounter are
in the hospital and will be given an
opportunity to explain their alleged
part in the affair later
The court room was crowded with
spectators. When the defendants
left for their homes they were fol-
lowed for a time by many persons,
but the crowd appeared merely Curl
Gus.
All the defendants who took the
witness stand asserted that they were
quiet and orderly, made no outcry and
or other weapons which figured in
the testimony of police officers. They
said that while they had no part in
any disturbances they were attacked
by a crowd Of men who showered
them with stones.

game was in progress between two
colored teams. The President looked
on at this game for some little time
and was manifestly interested. A
picture of him and Mrs. Coolidge, sur
rounded by some of the players and
spectators, was snapped at this spot.
Interrupts Diners.
More than hundred men and wom-
en- were eating their evening meal
in the enormous dining room of the
War Department cafeteria, when the
presidential party appeared in the
doorway. There was quite a stir
among the diners at first, when the
identity of the party was learned,
but as the latter walked through the
big room the diners, for the greater
part, turned their attention back to
their meal. 1t was the large, spot
less kitchen that held the chief inter-
est OF the President and Mrs. Cool
idge. They were pleased with the
modern equipment and sanitary safe
guards and asked many questions re-
garding the business of the prepara-
tion and serving of the meals. Aunt
Susan, the head cook, was given the
honor of meeting the President and
the first lady.
1t was not the Chief Executive of
the Nation engaged in formal in
spect1on trip. nor was it, "Silent CAL"
as the President is often referred to-,
who made this visit among the ath-
letes and lovers of outdoors yester-
day. 1t was just Plain Citizen Cool
! idge and his wife on an informal trip
to see the citizens of the Capital at
play. The President was talkatiye
| and informal. He unhesitatingly
walked up to groups of players and
entered into conversation about their
particular sport and examined either
their racquets or golf clubs or ball
bat, whichever 1t may have been, and
showed a genuine interest in every
thing and everybody.

YOUR BONUS
Questions That Bother You
Will Be Answered in
This Column.
Address: Room ~, News De-
partment. The Evening Star,
Washington, ID. c.

Q. Is it possible for a veteran to
name his estate" as his beneficiary
under item 10 of the bonus applica-
ton? 1 have read the instructions
applying to this item very carefully
but find no authority allowing such
designation. Nor does the law
itself contain the authority. 1t would
seem that in naming an ESTATE"
under this item would not only over
come inconvenience to the veteran by
eliminating the necessity for chang
ing the beneficiary, but would also
facilitate the work of the depart
ment administering the bonus act. /
f1ciary. The statement that 1 can
name my estate as beneficiary has
been published in your column, but 1
want to know if that statement is
7. N.
A. The application blank does not
state in specific language that you
can name your estate as beneficiary.
Neither does the act itself state that
a veteran can name his estate as
beneficiary. The act implies in sew
eral ways, and in several of it's sec
tions, that mans adjusted service
certificate may be paid under some
conditions to his estate upon his
death. Therefore the War and Navy
Departments have ruled that a vet
his estate as his beneficiary, in case
of his death. The actual wording
of the rule has not been published,
but you are absolutely safe in nam
ing your estate as beneficiary The
information I convey to you in these
columns is authentic and comes di-
rect from officials of the government
administering the act
@. The following is an extract
from a general order which was
issued to me during the war:
Pursuant to instructions contained
in a letter from the Adjutant General
of the Army, dated April 6, 1918, you
regiment to the Engineer Enlisted
Reserve Corps, inactive list. and you
will report to the Merchant Ship
building Corporation, at Philadelphia,
and they made a shipbuilder out of
me. / ought to be entitled to COM
pensation for the time / spent at
that plant, building ships. at the ex-
press directions OF the Adjutant Gen.
eral. Will be allowed to count that
time toward my bonus credit?-C.
w. T.
A.. You are entitled to the bonus
for the time you served as a soldier
You are not entitled to a bonus credit
for the time you served on the in
active list at a shipbuilding plant,
although you were sent there upon
the direct order of the Adjutant Gem
eral. 1t is unfortunate but the pro-
visions of the act will not allow the
war Department to grant you any
credit for the time served on the
inactive list. The law says vet
Grams are entitled to credit toward
the bonus on account of active serv-
Ice" Your service, while Of great
value. was not active military serv-
ice, therefore can not be counted to-
ward bonus credit.
