three men and apprehended a stolen
car Saturday morning less than ten
hours after it disappeared from Tue

about 9:15 Saturday morning and
Hudson coach bearing Robert J.
Clemmings, Henry Wright and Pat
rick Oherin, all of Tucson, fell into
it.
Police in this section were inform
ed early this morning that the Hud-
son car had been stolen about mid
night Friday in Tucson and that it
was probably heading toward this
city Bisbee officers later phoned
local police headquarters that the
machine had passed through the
mine city but that although officers
there had given chase, it had evaded
them.
This last information reached the
Douglas police soon after the car
had left Bisbee and Officers Newman
and Patterson Immediately drove to
the Douglas end of the Bisbee-D Doug
las highway and waited for the
stolen car to appear. When it drove
into sight, the two officers hailed
the driver and took both the car
and it's three occupants into GUS
tody. All three of the robbers proved
to be youngsters who told local
officers that they were given 80
minutes by the police to leave Tue
son on Friday being vagarants there
and that they grabbed the first
vacant car they perceived to obey
that order.

missar Tchitcherin today to Ambas-

Chinese government to permit the
soviet ito use it's own efforts to
secure settlement with Chang Tso-
Lin.
The soviet foreign commisar de-
clares that M. Ivanoff's arrest is "an
unprecedented act" occurred after
five days of systematic violation of
soviet Chinese treaty of 1924 dealing
with the railway. and adds that the
railway officials have practically
been deprived of their functions by
the military authorities (Chinese)

threat was supplemented by a tele-
gram from the Peking foreign office

concerned, insisting that M. Ivanoff
must be released in the interest OF

NORRIS CHARGES
POLITICS HELD
UP SUGAR TARIFF

WASHINGTON, Jain. 23.--Admin-
istration influence to delay the taf-
iff commissions report on sugar un-
til after the 1924 elections was
charged in the senate today by
Senator Norris, republican, Nebraska,
Both President Coolidge and Sena-
ltor Smoot, republican, Utah, We're
Aaccused of attempting to to per-
suade William S. Culbertson as
member of the commission to delay
the report on the proposal to in
crease the tariff on sugar.
The president was charged with
holding the threat of prosecution
for a violation on the law over
the head of the commissioner in an
effort to get him to postpone the
report and with finally appoint
ing. Culbertson as minister to Ru-
mania to get him off the commits
sion.
Senator Smoot was accused of call
ing the commission into "a secret
conference with sugar men opposed
to a reduction in the sugar duty.
This conference Norris, said, was
attended by Senator Phipps, repub-
ASican, Colorado and about. Is mem
-55ers of the house of representatives
and spokesmen for the sugar in
terestB.
In reply, Senator Smoot said moth
ing occurred at the conference that
he would not be willing for the
whole world to know and that Gull
bertson was called because the sugar
men felt they should have a further
hearing.
The Nebraska Senator further
charged that while the tariff COM
mission was deadlocled 3 to
on the sugar case, Culbertson offered
a position on the federal trade
commission at an increase in salary.
He said that. President Colidge
sent word to Commissioner Classic
whose wife and other relatives,
Senator Norris said. owned $780,
600 worth of sugar stock, that he
expected him to do his duty as he
saw it, He added that Commissioner
Classic proceeded to do it and the
deadlock never would have been
broken but FOR the action of con-
gress.
Senator Curtis of Kansas, the re-
publican leader, told the senate that
it was mot fair" to say that Gull
bertson had been given a diplomatic
appointment to remove him the COM
mission as he had asked for di-
plomatic post a year before he OBJ
tained one and also had applied for
: a position on the trade commission.
