REPUBLICANS MAP
TARIFF BILL PLANS
Three Steps Agreed Upon to
Hasten Measure to Final
Senate Action.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Mindful that President Hoover wants
the tariff out of the way when the reg
ular session begins, Republican lead
ers mapped out program today to ex-
pedite the measure Through the Senate
at the earliest possible moment.
Three steps were agreed upon:
First, the finance committee Repub-
licans to meet daily and decide On what
amendments might be accepted without
debate.
Second, to propose night sessions, be-
ginning tonight.
Third. convene the Senate at 10 In
stead of IL o'clock each morning If
night sessions should not be possible.
Conference Unexpected.
The conference was called unex-
pectedly. 1t included Republican mem
bers of the finance committee and a
large group of regular Republican
Senators.
THE meeting was for the purpose of
deciding some means to expedite the
bill," Senator Watson, the Republican
leader, said afterward.
He added that the finance committee
majority at its daily meetings would de-
termine what new amendments offered
by the opposition coalition of Demo-
Gratis and Western Republicans and the
regulars could be accepted, thus OBJ
Waiting debate.
Chairman Smoot of the finance
committee, arranged to seek agreement
on night sessions later in the day. Both
Democratic and Western Republican
spokesman have expressed vigorous op-
position to the evening meetings.
VIII Speed Sessions.
The consensus of those attending the
conference appeared to be that the bill
could not possibly be sent to the Presi-
dent before the special session expires
at noon December 2, but that the Sen
ate should go ahead with the measure
under speeding-up program
Indifference to the tariff bill as it is
now being written by the Senate and the
possibility of obtaining more beneficial
import rates on agricultural products
through the machinery of the present
law are leading President Hoover to the
view that the tariff debate should not
be extended into the regular session of
Congress.

the Senate bill is no secret in well in
formed circles here. His indifference is
due in large part to the elimination of
the flexible provisions of the present
law under which the Chief Executive is
empowered, after an investigation by
the tariff commission, to raise or de-
crease rates by so per cent.

His desire for a continuance of this
authority is such, in fact, that many
leaders of the House and Senate believe

ST|MSON NAMED
NAVAL SPOKESMAN
Gibson and Jones Expected
to Act as Chief Advisers
at London Farley.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Henry L. Stimson, who
took leading part in the recent Anglo
American naval discussion, has been
chosen by President Hoover to act as
chief American spokesman when these
negotiations reach their fruition In the
coming London conference.
Possibly the Secretary of State may
be the only delegate appointed, but as
yet there have been no indications of
the Presidents views on the size of the
commission that Is to represent the
Washington Government. There is,
however, strong impression here that
no other delegates win be named.
AT any rate, whether or not they 60
as delegates, it is confidently expected
that Hugh S. Gibson, American Ambas-
sador to Belgium, and Rear Admiral
Hilary Jones, U. S. NJ, retired, win be
present at London to act as Stimson's
chief advisors. Both served as dele
gates to the unsuccessful tripartite
Geneva conference of 1927, and each
has been intimately associated with
naval discussions since that time.
In view Of the fact that treaty pro-
duced by the coming conference would
have to be ratified by the Senate 1t has
been suggested that the Chief Execu-
tive may send some members Of that
body to the naval parley. Such course
was followed by President Harding in
appointing delegates to the Washington
conference Of 1921.
In this connection the names of
Borah of Idaho, chairman OF the for
eign relations committee; Hale of
Maine, chairman of the naval commit
tee: Robinson OF Arkansas, the Demo-.
cratic leader, and Swanson of Virginia,
ranking minority member of the naval
committee, have been mentioned.
President Hoover recently called Hale
and Swanson to the White House for
separate conference. both on the same
day. and it was reported that the pos
sibility Of their going to London was
discussed at that time.
There has, however, been no official
indication from the White House as to
Mr.. Hoover's views on the question Of
including members of the Senate in the
delegation, and that, with the question
of determining the size of the commits
sion, apparently has been left for the
future:

RUM RING RECORDS
SHOW BR|BES PAID
Syndicate's Account Book
Reveals $1,000, 900 Profits
in Six Months.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 18.-Entries in
small black account book showing
$2000,000 profits in six months, huge
sums paid for bribery ships and liquor,
revealed today the proportions of the
syndicate which Federal officials charge
monopolized liquor smuggling along the
Atlantic Coast
The account book was seized with
other records at the mansion in High
lands, N. j., headquarters Of the ring,
when Federal and State officers made
80 raids along 200-mile front in
drive against the syndicate Wednes-
day.
William J. Calhoun, prohibition adj
ministrator for New Jersey, said the
little book, about by 10 inches, con-
tanned in addition to notations showing
the profits which were divided in ratios
OF z to % per cent among the members,
closely written memoranda of large
sums paid to local officers for protec-
ton.
Bank Records to Be Asked.
Notations showed, he said, that last
March the syndicate spent 100000 in
Montreal 'for ships, the purchase of
liquor and operating expenses"
Calhoun said that seven banks in
New Jersey, Manhattan and Brooklyn
with which the ring did business would
be called upon to produce their records
of the transactions.
James E. Wilkinson, assistant United
States attorney, declared that the three
banks in New Jersey where the snug
glers had accounts were obviously un-
aware of the nature of their clients
business. He also denounced lawyers
who he charged gave legal advice to
the syndicate.
"It is no secret that this mob of
bootleggerS is more or less hooked up
with the gang of Scarface Al Capone," !"
Wilkinson added.
United States Attorney Charles H.
Tuttle, in announcing that the three
Federal districts in Manhattan, Brook
lyn and New Jersey would cooperate in
the prosecution of the syndicate, said:
This ring not only was conducting
smuggling of contraband on an enor-
nous scale, with ramif1cations in Eng
land, Canada and elsewhere, but, by
practice, virtually monopolizing this
business of Illegal importation"
Score Free Under Bail.
A score of men taken in the simul-
taneous raids were free under bail to-
day, the highest being that of Malcolm
McMasters, radio operator, arrested in
the smuggler's station. He was held in
$50, 900 bond in Trenton, N. j., Federal
Court.
Search is being made for three others
mentioned in the indictments. William

The other line Of effort confined
itself to the spectacular aspiration of
a transpolar flight. Amundsen actual
~ took plane to the North Alaskan
coast; and his associate made short
flights from Spitzbergen. But it was
not until Byrd based at Etah, North
Greenland, and flew total of 5000
miles over Ellesmere Land in few
short weeks that Arctic flying was DEM
onstrated to be practicable.
In that same year Amundsen and
Ellsworth hoped of from Spitzbergen
in two large seaplanes, bound for the
Pole itself. Thick weather was met,
which prevented accurate navigation.
Finally Anundse1 signaled a landing
in the open lead. Sights at once
showed that the planes had been car
ried west and were in only 81 degrees
A minutes north latitude. One plane
was crushed. The other was hauled
out and an emergency camp established
Meanwhile the world waited for weeks
without a word from the missing ex-
plorers. 1t was reasoned that the party
stood little chance of walking home
over the almost iifeless pack, and that
even if one plane remained unchanged
It could scarcely take OF with the
whole party and enough fuel to reach
its base.
But Amundsen did not lose his head
Keeping his mems strength up with
the slender store of rations,, he gamblec
on the latter course. He had q runway
cleared and, finally, after hard month
and several failures, he got his one gooe
plane into the air and brought his party
back alive.
