FAILED TO AGREE
ON SUGAR TARIFF
Commissions Action Given
as CooIidge's Reason for
No Decision in 1924.

Failure of a divided Federal Tariff
Commission to agree on figures to sup
port its recommendation for reduc-
ton of the tariff on sugar was disclosed
yesterday in a report sent to the Senate
as the reason why Calvin Coolidge de-
clined to act on the matter i'll the mid
die OF his presidential campaign i'll 1924.
In letter sent to the three commits
sionerS who filed report with him Sug-
costing reduction from 2.202 cents a
pound to 1.54, Coolidge declared there
was wide conflict of opinion within
the commission over the questions at
issue"
Two of the six members of the COM
mission had submitted minority re-
port, and one member took no part in
the inquiry.
These differences" Coolidge said.
appear to be based on different meth
DDS of use and different interpretations
OF the cost and other data collected by
the commission"
In another statement. which was
made part of the report, Coolidge
promised, however, that a change in
conditions might warrant q rcconSidera-
Ton OF his decision to postpone action
indefinitely IF through decreased pro-
auction, or other conditions, the world
market should be relieved of the weight
Inc question was at issue all through
Coolldge'S campaign, and the report
rested On his desk almost all of that
time, a constant reminder to newspaper
men TO PROFOUND questions. His final
decision never was announced until it
was made public in the report.
The name of G. Bascom Slemp, the
former Presidents secretary for time,
was mentioned in the report in a mem
orandum initiated by wv. B." and
w. S. c." William S. Culbertson was
then chairman of the commission and
William Burgess was one of its men,
berS.
Dated October 25, the memorandum
said that "in conference today with
Mr.. Slemp, he stated that data now
available need not be sent to the Presi-
dent at once, and that If it were sent
he (Slemp) would probably hold it I'M
til other data arrived before submitting
it to the President"
After the recommendations were sub
mitted, on July 26, 1924, Coolidge asked
for more figures and information, and
there followed an exchange of letters
with the commission members until a
short time after November IA, when his
final decision was made.
After full consideration of all the
facts shown in the reports of the men,
berS of the Tariff Commission" Cool
idge said in the final statement. II do
not find the differences in cost of pro-
duction are sufficiently established I'M
der present conditions to warrant any
change from the present policy"

ANCIENT INDIAN
POTTERY FOUND
IN INCA GRAVES
Evidence Is Disclosed Of
High Civilization in
South America.

BIZ Science SerUice
SANTIAGO, Chile, April r.
Nearly 300 pottery vessels, chisels,
axes and other tools Of copper,
bronze and stone. as well as gold
earrings and head bands of the
same metal one and half inches
vide and sixteen inches long that
was once tied around the head OF
an Indian lord like diadem, are
among the objects recently found
in an Inca cemetery at Copiapo in
northern Chile while man was
digging on his property near a
river bank.
Gualterio Looser, assistant cura-
tor at the Museum of National His
tory at Santiago has examined the
site. The graves are placed IN
groups of ten to twelve, each group
separated from the others by a wall
of stone.
Graves of ancient caciques or
mobiles Of this part of the world were
customarily segregated from COM
mon folk by masonry walls, and it
was within these enclosures that
the relics were discovered, in graves
about eight feet deep.
Although the cemetery is believed
to have belonged to the 1ncas of
the period shortly before the Span
ish conquest, some of the objects
show styles Of other and earlier
cultures. The IncaS were neWcom-
ers in Peru, like the Aztecs in CEN
trail Mexico, and reached the height
of their power only in the last few
centuries before the discovery of
the new world.
The Inca empire once reached
from Ecuador to central Chile and
within its boundaries a large num-
ber of different racial groups lived
together in a remarkably advanced
social state Eut before the last
Indian empire of South America
its height, other great cul-
lures and political organizations
had prospered and disappeared.
Practically all the pottery objects
found at Copiapo are patterned
after weI-known prehistoric An
dean models. The general tone is
cream, and against this background
the design is carried out in deep red
or some other strong color.
The vessels show no sign OF use
after they had been made, but many
of them were broken when they
were buried with the dead, a custom
followed in many parts of the West
ern Hemisphere in ancient times and
called shooting the quarry" by
archaeologists.
The find revealed a number OF un-
usual pieces, among them two funer-
ary urnS such as we're used by the
historic people on the other side
of the Andes in Argentina for bury
ing infants. The upper part Of
these urns represents q bird, whose
face, with human expression, is
Cn the front and the tail and feet
at the back.

19 years old, and she has beautiful,
really bird-like voice. She has un-
usually warm sense of Interpretation
for one who is so typically coloratura
soprano in voice quality. Senorita
Otero won her audience at this morn
ing's event, sponsored here by Mrs
Lawrence Townsend. In her part of
the joint song recital shared with Rich
ard Crooks, the soprano had only two
operate airs listed, the Shadow Song"
from "Dinorah," and una Voce POGO
Fa," from THE Barber Of Seville" Her
audience insisted upon three encores.
She gave two folk songs, accompanying
herself at the piano for one of them,
and Long, Long Ago"
Senorita Otero had unusually fine
cooperation at the piano by Frank
La Forge, distinguished composer, coach
and an accompanist extraordinary.
The other artist of the morning was
an American tenor, who has not been
heard here for number of seasons. If
