SUICIDE IS NOT
IDENTIFIED

Though believed to be from Phila-
delphia, the body Of a man who
killed himself by jumping from the
eighth floor Of the Houston Hotel,
remained unidentified today.
The man took numerous pre-
cautions to conceal his Identity. He
left note in which the name Of
.'eW. winchester, under which he
had registered, was termed ficticious.
Efforts had been made to mutilate
the laundry marks on his clothes.
Investigators. however, deciphered
the initials, "W. w. W." This led
them to believe ne might have used
the name of Winchester prior to his
death early yesterday.
Police broadcast description Of
the man. He was from 2S to 80
years old. 5 feet, inches tall and
weighed $50 pounds.

Job Goes Begging

Keedysville, in this county. is one
of the few places in the country
where the office seeks the man
and the threadbare political phrase,
"at the earnest solicitation of my

Now, the office Of burgess, the

going begging. A. H. Snavely,
who was elected burgess at the
election held last week, refused to
serve when it was time for him
to swear in, and Burgess c. II.

TARIFF POLICY
IS PLANNED BY
DEMOCRATS

Having been ignored in the fran.
ing of the new Hawley tariff bill,
Democratic leaders in the House
fathered a plan today designated to
unite their forces behind a perma-
nent tariff policy which not only will
affect the congressional tariff fight
but will serve as a model in future
political campaigns.
Positive action was held necessary
to establish the Democratic position
before the nation as a result OF Re-
publican claims that Governor Smith
and National Chairman Raskob
turned the party over to the Repub-
lican protection policy in the last
campaign.
Representative Cordell Hull of Ten.
nessee, former Democratic national
chairman, made public a confidential
communication which he had laid
before every Democrat in Congress
in an effort to break down the ef-
fe It's of Republican propaganda.
Votes Being Sought
In addition to claiming Democratic
votes ON the Smith-Raskob tariff
theory. Republicans in the House
have declared that Representative
John N. Garner of Texas, Democratic
leader, is in accord with the major
ity party's tariff policy
Democratic votes for the Hawley
bill are being sought because ef high
tariff rates placed on Florida, Gulf
Coast and Texas fruits and vegeta-
bles, Louisiana sugar, and Texas
wool and meat.
1t has been necessary to clarity
the Democratic policy OH the tariff
because of misrepresentation of the
party's platform, and the views of
Governor Smith and Mr.. Raskob, -
said Hull.
Il am confident that the Demo.
Gratis in Congress, will stand al
most solidly against the Hawley
bill, which is the most outrageous
tariff bill ever presented to Con.
gress. 1t is true that many Demo
Gratis indicated that they would sup,
port the Republican policy, but
they have changed.
Shelter for ExtOrtiOn
Governor Smith during the cam
paign based his tariff views or
these policies, Hull said. Repub
lican practice, he declared, has
always opposed the policy pro
claimed by Governor Smith of re
vising the tariff for the good OF
legitimate business and labor anG
have, instead made it "a shelter fol
extortion and favoritism."
Democrats are planning to fighi
the tariff rates on window glass
cement, some kinds of steel and
similar industrial rates on the
ground that they simply serve tt
raise prices and not to keep out
foreign goods.

Of these waits in various cities.
About 10000 were picked up by va

For years the waits were an I'm

their homes and parents in the civil
wars and revolutionary fighting,
but some took to the streets by
choice and these proved the most
recalcitrant. Attempts by the COM
