TARIFF AS FARM
RELIEF MEASURE
BEACHES SENATE
Smoot Mans Protective
Trenches Against Re-
peated Assaults

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9 up - That
exile of partisan politics, the tariff,
developed a Naopeonic back-from
Elba tendency and squeezed through the
swinging doors of the senate today in
the guiSe of farm relief measure.
1t found Smoot of Utah, manning
the protection trenches almost single
handed against a democratic and farm
republican assault, precipitated by a
resolution of McNGaster, of South Da-
kota, declaring for revision of rates.
Meanwhile house orators were talk
ing themselves out on other subjects
and got to work on an appropriation
bill for four department. Even run
ming fire of points of order by the
watchful Blanton, of Texas, only Gerv-
ed to slow things up here and there
and The state department section of
the bill had been approved before ad-
journment.
During debate topics quite remote
from the bill itself came up for dis
cussion and they included a White
House senate row over a new judge in
Alaska; whether aliens were asked
admission to the country; the output
per minute of the New York federal
courts in turning aliens into American
citizens; and the possibility of meet
ing bootlegger bribery maneouvers by
raising the pay of deputy marshals
But it was the. senate's tariff tussle
that featured the congressional day,
although democrats of the senate naval
committee set in motion what prom
ises a possible upset for administra-
tons plans for 3 civilian investigation
of the S-4 disaster specifically and the
whole question of safety, devices for
submarines generally. No action was
taken by the committee, but the demo-
Gratis, with broad hints of support from
independent republicans, served no
tice that they would seek Thursday to
split the investigation up and reserve
the disaster itself for congressional,
perhaps a senate committee, inquiry,
they were content that the proposed
presidential commission seek new safe
ty devices.

American Engineer
Kills -Four; Escapes
From Mex. Bandits

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 9 tP-Lynn
F. Barber, American mining engineer
who was held captive Tor three weeks
by Mexican bandits seking $4,000
pesos ($7,50O ransom, was back in
Mexico City tonight with thrilling
account OF having escaped by killing
four armed guards with stones and
bottles.
Barber returned to his home last
night, stumbling into the presence
of his wife, worn, ragged and weak
ened after a perilouS flight through
the mountains in shoes that scarcely
deserved the name.
A sentence OF death because OF
failure to receive the ransom, and
perhaps to rid themselves of tIas
burden OF prisoner while fleeing
from federal troops, spurred Barber
to his desperate attack.
The 35 year old engineer, employed
by the Monte Carlo Mining company,
was kidnapped December Is. The
bandits first asked and got from
friends and the company 1000 pesos,
then 5000. They finally demanded,
but did not get, $4,000 pesos.
Meanwhile, the outlaws were con-
stantly travelling over mountain trails
with their prisoner, without abusing
him, but exposing him to the un-
accustomed hardship of exhausting
marches in almost bare feet and
sleeping in the mountain cold without
adequate clothing. They were for
ever in fear of pursuing federal
troops.
Last week Barber, as he recounted
here, overheard statement that he
would be killed tomorrow unless he
were ransomed. Already desperate
because of his privarions, Barber be-
gan collecting stones and broken
bottles for use when opportunity
offered He. determined TO escape
Saturday night, or die in the attempt.
The California man-Barber is
from Los Angeles, and his wife, form
erly. Miss Esther Shepherd is from
Whittier, Cal-alone with his captorS
in a remote mountain region some
where in the state Of Mexico, about
half a days journey from Cuer-
navaca, watched for his opportunity
and seized it.
With no other weapons than rocks
and broken bottles, it is stated, he
attacked, overpowered and killed four
men guarding him. Then he set of
into the night, stumbling, falling
bruising himself and tearing his
clothes, in his frantic haste to get
away from the bandit camp. At
daylight he reached a village, where
he obtained a conveyance to Cuerna-
vaca, and from Cuernavaca came to
Mexico City by automobile, arriving
last night.
He was met at the door, of his
home by Mrs. Barber, who not only
had been suffering from anxiety about
him for the last three weeks, but
their baby nearly had shared his
captivity with him. She and the
baby were on q trip with him from
the capital to zacualpam, on the
border OF the states of Guerrero and

NEW. YORK, Jam 8 R-Henry
Ford announced today that he is
planning an airplane trip to Brazil
to inspect a rubber plantation which
MS automobile company will develop
as private enterprise.
While he did not elaborate on
the announcement or set a date for
the flight, his son, Edsel Ford. said
the plantation is about 800 miles from
Para up the Tapajos river, branch
OF the Amazon. The younger Ford
said the rubber development would
not be conducted as part of COM
bine, but purely as a private under-'
taking in connection with the Ford
industry.
Ford'S announcement was made at
his motor show at Madison Square
Garden during an interview In which
he was asked if he were a billion
alre. He waved the question aside,
saying: II don't know about that"
Pressed to state the amount of his
fortune the magnate shook his head
again, saying: II don't know and I
don't give a DAMN
He said that he was working on
the development of a diesel engine
for airplanes. Edsel Ford explained
that the diesel airplane engine at
present was planned only on paper,
but that sample" engine was to be
built and tested shortly. This engine,
he said, would weigh about q pound
and half horsepower. His father
explained that the goal he was work.
ing for along this line was 1000
horsepower engine, weighing about a
pound a horsepower.
The elder Ford declared himself an
aviation enthusiast but said he did
not believe the airplane would sup
plant the automobile, adding that
each would have it's place when trans
flying was established. He
said he would make his trips to
Europe by airplane. He mentioned
the flight he made with Colonel
Charles A. Lindbergh last year and
added that he had handled the
stick" for little while aloft in one
of his dual-control F'ord-Stout all
metal monoplanes.

GOVERNOR. SMITH WITHHOLDS HIS
DECISION I'M WOMAN'S EXECUTION

NEW YORK, Jan. R-Gov-
ernOr Smith declined to announce
his intention today on the appli-
cation for a stay of execution for
Mrs. Ruth Snyder and Henry Judd
Gray. They are under sentence to
die in the electric chair Thursday
night for the murder of the wom-
ans husband.
The governor, plainly worried
over the condition of his wife, who
was operated on for appendicitis
last Saturday, spent most of the
day in his suite at Hotel BiltmOre.
He visited Mrs. Smith at st. Vim
cents hospital in the afternoon,
and kept in close touch with the
hospital by telephone all day.
His concern was apparent in his
definite refusal to discuss the
Snyder Gray case.
"TII talk about that when I'm
good and ready" he said, "but there
will be no decision today. / don't
want to be asked about it again."
Meanwhile Warden Lawes at Sing

guarda over her, following upon the
disclosure that her mother, Mrs.
