To ARRIVE
MAY 8
BY JOHN RANDOLPH

A multi-millionaire oil king will
swing off his private car at Union
Station here May 3 to retire from
the sight of the world for three
months.
Harry F. Sinclair is doomed to
spend these months at an institu-
ton noted for neither ease nor rest

coquan. Va.
Only physical examinat tion
which would show him unfit for the
rigors Of the workhouse can save
him from doing penance there for
his contempt of the Senate in re-
fusing to answer questions relative
to the Teapot Dome oil leases.
To Get No FavOrs
The District authorities have said
he will be shown no more favor
than the usual Police Court prisoner,
and the District sends all prisoners
in" for more than 10 days to
Occoquan. except those physically
unfit.
When Sinclair arrives here May
he will go to a fashionable and
luxurious hotel. Later he may
transfer his headquarters to a pri-
vate house, for it is reported he has
leased one.
On May 5. the mandate lifting the
suspension on his sentence will be
sent to the District Attorneys Of
flee by the Court of Appeals. With
in a very few days after that, Sin
clair must present himself in the
District Supreme Court for formal
surrender to the marshal.
Wealth Useless
Then all the luxuries his enor-
nous wealth can buy will be left
behind for the penal austerity,
which money can do little to ale
viate. Where formerly he lacked
little he. wanted, the best he can
hope for will be light work instead
of gruelling labor.
When he arrives here he will be

Present Paper Money
Supply to Last
Until July

America is running into the
greatest tainted money period in
history. And that doesn't mean
the taint of political corruption,
graft, the sweat-shop Of bootleg
liquor-but just common, ordinary
dirt.
The printing of present size
paper money, with the exception
of National Bank Notes, has
stopped and until July 1, when
the first of the new abbreviated
greenbacks go into the market,
the present supply of nearly 800,
100000 pieces must last, it was
learned at the Treasury today.
Dollar bills are getting the hard
est workout of their career and
by the end of June United States
probably will have a pretty we'll
frayed out currency-although it's
purchasing value will be just as
great as the neat, cracking, crisp
bills of about one.third the size
of today's paper, which will be
distributed through the Federal
Reserve banks.

FIGHT ON FARM
MEASURE
WAITS

An armistice was declared in the
farm relief battle on Capitol Hill to-
day with the Senate standing in ad-
journment until Monday and the
House satisfied with its overwhel- =
ing approval of the Hoover bill.
Administration leaders in the SEN
ate were planning to rush the bill to
vote by next Thursday and pre-
dicted its enactment with the export
debenture plan eliminated. This
would give President Hoover clean
cut victory in his first major con-
test in Congress, as he specifically
disapproved of the debenture plan.
A poll by International News Ser
vice already has shown clear ma
iority of the Senate oppose1 to in
cluding the debelture in the bill.
The Democratic side, however,
will use the farm bill as a means
of attacking a Republican change
of heart on the old equalization
fee, which featured the two farm
bills vetoed by President Coolidge.
Senator Robinson Cd of Arkansas
already has chided the Republican
leaders. who advocated the fee
only a year ago but now have
abandoned it.
The Republican defense to these
charges was cited by Senator
McNary (R.) of Oregon. author of
the old equalization fee bill and
one of Nthe Senators who will op.
pose it at this session. McNary
said he planned to follow the
leadership of President Hoover and
to vote for bill, certain to be
signed by the Chief Executive.
Previously he declared he was tired
of fighting a ''sham battle" and
would vote only for such legisla-
ton as could find it's way to the
statute books.

CAUCUS RULE IS
SOUGHT ON
TARIFF

Republican leaders of the House
have decided to invoke the caucus
rule to drive the new tariff bill
through that body in conformity
with the program of limited re-
vision laid down by President
Hoover, it was disclosed today.
Under present plans the entire
Republican membership will be
4 called into caucus after introduc-
ton of the new bill early next
week and before the House begins
consideration of the measure on
the floor.
A rising tide of opposition to
limitation of the right to offer
amendments from the floor, how
ever, has made questionable the
extent to which the caucus can be
invoked on the bill.
Farm Bloc Stirred
Reports that the Ways and Means
Committee, now shaping up the bill,
has refused to grant the tariff in
creases demanded both by many
branches of agriculture and of in
dustry have stirred the entire
House. Farm bloc" members, de-
termined to send the agricultural
schedule to a high point, are espe-
ciallye anxious to have the right to
fight for amendments on the floor.
Representative Tilson of Connect
cut, Republican floor leader, said
today that some form of caucus
action will be used in uniting mem
bers behind a Republican program,
but that the exact nature of the
limitation would have to be de.
termined by the members them.
selves.
Caucus Rule Held Necessary
The caucus will be called by Rep
resentative Hawley (R) of Oregon

the Ways and Means Committee,
and who is anxious to see the bill
go through the House as it comes
from the committee Caucus rule

ments would throw the entire scheme
of tariff schedules out of line.
One proposal now being advanced
is to exempt from caucus rule the
sugar, cement, hides, vegetable Oh
and textile schedules, leaving these
for determination by the Whole
House. The tariff bill has been de.
,layed because of a fight in commit.
tee over cement, hides and vegetable
oils, along with boots and shoes. it
was learned.

The audience was quite large and very
