The Wilkes crew after boarding the Hathaway. extinguish- ,d the flames and found 1,197 sacks Of intoxicating liquor in the hold. The six members of the crew later were released by |. s. commis- slouer who said the Wilkes had no jurisdiction over waters at the dis lance from shore at which the Hath- away was ovcrhauled.
 The office of the secretary of tho treasury asked that the Hathaway be turned over to the coast guard.

Four Cylinder Cars Still Lead Field In French Sales; Auto Show Opens

Makers Attempt to Cater to Feminine Tastes - Two Silent High Speeds Also Popular-Motor
 BOres Still Are Small.

Paris, Oct. 3 P-French makers, in their 23rd Paris automobile salon. which opened today, presented the 1880 models as the best they can do in the way Of quiet motors in easily handled cars, comfortable to ride in and pleasant to look at.
 The French woman, they agree, is about to take over the buying of the family car and they are out to please her.
 Tours Still Popular
 Six cylinder cars, well starred In last years show, are thoroughly es- tabliShed now as the standard, Tours. however, still predominate In production programs. Citroen, lead CT in mass production is expected to make twice as many fours as sixes.
 Two silent speeds, third anl fourth, are the center of interest. Several smaller makers offered them last year, but the strong American trend appears to have set the pace in that direction as well as in the attention to woman's taste.

 Motor BOreS Small
 Motors remain small with high speed and high compression. for the Frenchman pays 35 cents a gallon for gas, and taxes, based on motor size, are high. Apparently this fac tor is of decreasing importance, however, because large -motored American cars grow in favor and Ford who expected to sell four 12 horsepower motors to one of the American type, rated at 19 horse power here, has reversed his pro- gram and is selling four large mo- tors to one of the size specially de- signed to cater to French tariff.
 There are 2S American exhibits in this ten-day show, almost half as many as the French. Other foreign exhibitors are seven Italian, six German, Four British, three Belgian, one Austrian and one Czcchoslovak.

TRAFFIC LEAGUE
 OPPOSES MERGER
Against New England Railroads
 in Trunk Plan

Hartford. Oct. (P)-The New England Traffic League went on rec ord here today at it's fall meeting as favoring an all-New England rail- road system and as opposing such pending plans of consolidation as would link New England roads with trunk lines.
 The organization, in fact, instruct cd It's officers to appear before the interstate commerce commission at Washington in opposition to the so- called Loree merger plan affecting Is railroads; including the New Haven road, and to the Wabash plan which would combine all New Eng land railroads. except the New Ha- ven, into a unit.
 To Lose Advantages
 The league expressed its belief that as soon as the New England roads become link of trunk lines. shippers will lose many of the transportation advantages now en- joyed, since under the present sys- tenn they have many outlets for their products which might be shut off in times of emergency if all were con- trolled by one gigantic concern.
 Two matters of importance to New England industry were also taken up. The league voted to send representatives to Raleigh, N. C., on November II at a hearing be- fore the interstate commerce com- mission with instructions 10 oppose any attempt to raise the to and from rates for Virginia. If the com mission adjusts the Virginia rates by reducing the to and from scale for North Carolina the league voted to support this adjustment but to oppose a rise in the Virginia rate to compare with North Caro- lima lines.
 An opportunity for better com- petition with the middle western states by means of a lower rate than is available under the all-rail classifications was also accepted by the league.
 To Notify Company It voted to notify the Minnesota Atlantic Transit company, which operates steamships on the lakes, that New England shippers were interested in it's proposition to make rail-lake-r rail rates for New England 10 per cent lower than the present all-rail rates.
 If this plan is carried out. traf- fc managers said, it would give practically all of New Ecgland's 8 industries an opportunity to com pete with middle western states.
 approximately 100 traffic man. agers and other transportation ex- perts for New England industrial esta blishments attended the meet ing in the Egyptian room in Hotel Bond today.
 The meeting was followed by a 1 luncheon.

See Silver Lining

1 Washington, Oct. (UP)-While
 the elimination of the flexible pro- vision of the tariff act was an ap- parentiy serious defeat for President
 Hoover and his senate leaders de-
 lending the pending republican bill,
 they claimed to see more silver lin- i ing in the clouds than would appear i from first glance.
 The coalition of farm bloc repub-
 licans and democrats which is work ing against the tariff measure was | forced to muster full strength for
 47 to 42 vote in the senate late yes l terday, cutting the flexible core out
 of the bill and adopting the Sim
 mons-Norris amendment.
 l In few votes to come upon i'm
 portant rates in the bill, will the
 coalition be able to hold the ] strength they manifested. adminis-
 tradition leaders ask? Three votes would have changed the result and leaders claim they will be able 10
 win many more than three votes when the rates come under Consid- eraton.
 Admittedly, the coalition was the bill. It's leaders switched pro- cedure at the start of the special session in order that the administra- tive features might be taken up be fore the rates. They frankly did not have enough votes then or now to put over their program of eliminat- ing all the industrial rates of the
 bill, preserving only the increases
 granted agriculture, although they
 wanted to do so.
 Conference Still to Come The only possibility of disaster 10 the bill in the senate's action will depend upon what is done about the flexible provision when the conferees
 Of the house and the senate get to-
 gether to iron out differences in the
 measure as passed by each house. The house passed a flexible pro vision which went much further than l the present law. It wiped out the
 bipartisan feature of the tariff
 commission and gave the president
 sufficient power to lower and in
 crease rates almost at will. Even
 such ardent protectionists as Rep.
 Beck, republican, Pennsylvania, pro- tested against this feature, but it
 was preserved in the bill as passed
 by the house.
 Senate republicans abandoned the | house provision and wanted to main- i tain the present law which author 1 izes the president to conduct inves- | tigations through the tariff commis-
 sion and raise or lower duties 50 per cent upon their recommenda- tion.
 The Simmons Norris amendment
 which the senate has now put in the bill would make the tariff commits
 sion only a fact-finding agency.

SEN. KING FLATS
 AD VAL0REM PLAN
Reed Defends Tariff Amendment
 Before Senate

Washington, Oct. 3 LPl-Republi- cans and democrats were at odds again in the senate today as consid- eration of the tariff bill, minus the Hoover-supported flexible provision, was resumed.
 The dispute, however, was mild compared with that of A hours ago when a combination of democrats independent republicans substituted democratic flexible plan for that endorsed by the White House.
 Ad Valorem Dispute
 The argument today arose over an amendment sponsored by repub- lican members of the finance com- mittee to change the time-honored custom of passing ad valorem duties on foreign value of imports.
 Assaillng the provision, Senator King, of Utah, a democratic com- mittee member, said behind it lay a scheme of American manufactur- CTS to obtain a monopoly of domes- tic markets and to cut off all inn portations."
 Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, a republican member of the commit tee who iS the author of the amend lnent contended the present system discriminated in favor of countries with low labor costs and that the domestic value method would not cost the "honest importer an addi- tional penny" of tariff.
 Slight Increase Probable A slight increase in revenue probably would result under the domestic value system, Reed added but this would come only because dishonest importers" would pay the full duty intended by congress.
 The amendment would authorize the tariff commission to convert al 1 percentage rates in the pending bil into equivalent duties based on do. mestic' value.
 Domestic values are defined as the l price of imported articles freely offered for sale in wholesale quan- titles in the principal market of the | United States. Since this value i. higher than foreign in most instanc. es. nearly all the ad valorem rate. would have to be reduced to pro cure the same amount of tariff pro | lection.
 SmOot Explains Plan Explaining the amendment. Chair. man Shoot of the committee said ii l would remove all international com. plication incident to ascertanmen, of foreign values, permit all neces. sary investigations to be made in the United States, and eliminate present inequalities between high and low cost foreign countries.
 Shoot assured Senator Norris, re- publican, Nebraska. that the con verted rates could not take effect without approval of congress and that they would eliminate a consid- crable amount of undervaluations by importers under the foreign value method.

Two Companies on Duty


 Marion, N C., Oct. 3 LP)-Two companies of national guardsmen were on duty to keep order today at the Marion Manufacturing Com pany's cotton mill in East Marion as authorities proceeded with investiga- ton Of the riot at the plant gates yesterday in which three strikers were killed and a score more per sons injured.
 The coroner's jury impanelled to inquire into the deaths of John Jonas, Sam Wickers and Randolph Hall, who went on strike early yes- terday. and who 9, few hours later were shot and fatally wounded. viewed the bodies last night. The inquest then was recessed until to- day.
 A total of 21 persons were injured in the riot, several officers being beaten with clubs.
 Townsend Arrives
 Besides the coroncr's jury, Nat A. Townsend. executive counsel to Gov ernor o. Max Gardner, who on Sep tembcr II settled nine weeks strike at the Marion Manufacturing Company's plant, arrived here late last night to investigate the riot for the governor.
 There had been rumblings of dis satisfaction for some time on the part of union men who claimed the tri1 cc I had not been kept by the manage lment of the Marion mill. Despite this the strike call of yesterday morning came unexpectedly.
 The union members claimed that the mill management had refused to take back all union workers despite an agreement to do so.
 Denying the claims of the union. K. W. Baldwin, president of the company, late yesterday issued a statement in which he said the only persons the company had not re- employed were part time workers and some 35 persons who he claimed were undesirable and could not work in the mill. He said the reason for not taking on the part time work CTS was an effort to give every em- ploye in the mill a full weeks work under the 55 hour week agreement.
 Raises Day Wages
 Mr. Baldwin also asserted that the company on September 23 raised the wages of day workers five per cent and had announced the 55 hour week would be retained despite a clause in the strike settlement agree ment allowing vote on the question of GO hour week.
 He denied claims tha tthe com pany planned to do away with the night shift, saying it was the desire Of the new management to continue day and night operation.
