HIGHER TARIFF IS
 COMMITTEE PLAN
Finance Group Maintains or
 Increases Recommendations

Washington. Aug. LP-In the midst of their consideration of the agricultural schedule of the new tariff measure. the senate finance committee republicans have shown a disposition to maintain or increase most of the rate advances voted by the house.
 While some of the proposed rates on farm comm modities-notably. so far. tobacco wrappers-have been reduced by the committee men, the majority of the decisions affecting this group. as disclosed to his con- stituents by Senator Couzens of Michigan. have sustained the house figures or increased them.
 Vote on Eggs Cited
 That was broadly Illustrated in the votes on various classes of eggs. on some classes of which the house rate was retained. while on others higher imposts were voted. The house rates on milk cream and skinned milk and on poultry also were raised. while those on cattle. sheep, swine and butter were main- tained.
 Meanwhile. with the republican committee men approaching proba- ply their most difficult task a deci- sion on the sugar tariff, q new com plication appears to have been ln- , jected into this extremely controrer- sial problem by the attack of Sena tor King. democrat, Utah, on forces controlling the Cuban crop, King Changes stand
 Usually a low tariff advocate, the Utah democrat, a member of the finance committee. charged that those forces were to blame for the recent increase in American sugar prices and asserted that congress would be justified "in taking this into account in determining the tariff policy which shall govern the Cuban sugar situation" He also expressed concern lest a world combination for | control of sugar prices leave the | American sugar industry and con- Sumers at the mercy of a foreign 1 organization.

GUARD DIES BY
YECG TORTURE
Watchman, Unable to Open
Safe, Is Slain Slowly.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-A night
Watchnan was tortured to death
early today because he did not know
the combination to a safe contain
ing two days receipts of the Wash
ington Square Laundry Company.
The watchman was known as
Freedman. When he was found,
both hands had been slashed with
stilleto, his back had been pierced
twice with knife and his throat
cut.
The bloody trail within the plant
told the story Of the torture.
Several chairs were in front of
the small safe. The handles of the
door were covered with blood. There
was blood on the floor. One chair
was in front of the safe, indicating
the robbers had placed the watch
man there, demanding he open the
safe-an opening that was irnpos-
sibIe, because he did not know the
combination.
After the watchnlan had been
killed, his body was placed in a
big laundry basket, carried to the
loading platform in the rear and
dumped to the ground, where it was
found by an en1ploye.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Millel
Higgins, who led the New York
Yankees to six American League
pennants, died today.
He succumbed at st. Vincent's
hospital TO complication of erysi-
pelas and influenza, a malady
brought on by his determination not
to quit so long as his team had a
chance Of winning another pennant
this year.
AT midsummer boil developed on
Higgins face. The pennant battle
was furious. He was striving to pull
together his great machine so as to
be the first manager to win the
fourth consecutive pennant.
The team faltered. The Phiadel-
phia Athletics drove ahead. Hug
gins illness became worse. His
visions of another championship
were blasted, but he would not give
up. He, at least, wanted to clinch
second place.
Last Friday he had to go to the
hospital. He became delirious. His
temperature rose as high as 107 de-
gres. Three blood transfusions were
necessary. But the stamina that had
carried the small man to such great
heights faltered in the fight for life.

Peck, Genaro Pilot Fla
mingo Through Day of
Rain, Fog.

Despite hazardous flying condi-
tions last night and today, Lieuten-
ants Walter r. Peck and Lawrence
Genaro at 2 p. m. today tsill were
victorious over the elements after
having spent 1874 hours aloft in the
Indianapolis Flamingo.
Flying blind through dense fog,
several hazardous refuelings were
made this morning. At one time,
the Flaningo and its refueling plane
emerged into a fog-free space to dis
cover they were less than 300 feet
above the Marott hotel, Lieutenant
G. O. Perry, chief refueling pilot, re-
ported.
"We never will encounter more
adverse conditions than prevailed
early this ncrning," Perry said.
From this experience and a night
refueling, we feel confident the fiiers
and ground crew car meet any emer-
gency."
Keep Close to Earth
Telephone calls to airportS in
other cities, in an attempt to find
better conditions for refueling, re-
vealed uniform low-hanging fog
over the entire central section,
reaching as far west as st. Louis.
Because of the low ceiling, the fierS
were forced to remain within 200
feet of the ground in order to see
their landmarks.
Unusual and unexpected expenses
in connection with the fight are
causing the flight management
anxiety. according to a statement is
sued today by Major H. LeR Muller
flight manager. He said details of
the organization and mechanical
condition of the plane and engine
are most satisfactory and that
chances of. Peck and Genaro to
break the record are excellent.
MANY Indianapolis firms and in
dividuaIs have been most liberal IN
supporting this flight as a civic
enterprise" Muller said. The pilots,
flight officials and some members of
the ground organization are con-
tributing their services without hope
Of remuneration.
Problem Is Serious
"a great deal of material and
supplies has been donated by indi-
viduals and firms, but it has been
found necessary to purchase other
supplies and pay some ground crew
members for their services. In ad-
dition, costs Of frequent refueling
contacts is mounting constantly.
These items have accumulated until
the problem is becoming serious"
Several contributions have been
made recently to Bowman Elder,
trustee, Chamber of Commerce
building.

GOTHAM BANKS
CALLED LOSERS
Colorado Claims SWindIe
Funds Are Absorbed.

BIZ United Press
DENVER, Sept. 25.-The state of
Colorado lined up today on the side
of Charles D. Waggoner, Telluride
banker, to resist efforts of New York
banks to recover money the banks
lost in swindle.
Attorney General Robert E. Win
bourne announced the state would
fight to prevent New York banks
from recovering the money. He de-
MED that would be compromising a
felony"
1.-THE situation is nothing of the
kind" Winbourne said. "If a man
should come into my Office, force
me at the point of a gun to sign a
note for $1,000, and then sold the
note at a bank, that bank would
hold me responsible for payment.
eff the bank was not aware Of the
holdup's method of getting the note
and was not a party to the trans
action before accepting the note, it
certainly would not be held liable" ="
The next move is up to New York
banks, Winbourne said.
"If they consider they have any
claim to the money and appeal to
the courts, we are ready to resist"
he declared.
Winbourne took the position Wag-
goner's manipulation was perfect
crime" so far as the law was con-
cerned.

Hoover's request for specific data
on violations of the prohibition law
here, read to the senate previous

public drinking in one of Washing

Hurricane Expected to Hit

today doomed to feel the force of
another autumnal hurricane to-
night.
The Washington weather bureau,
checking anXiously throughout the
day on reports out of the Carib-

gaining in force, would slash into
southeastern Florida between Miami

Miami took the precaution of
sending small craft up the river,
but reports there professed to fore
see that the storm rushing in from
the Bahamas would not prove de-
structive in the Gem Florida city.
