BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

Not in many years of bloc bat.
Ting, alliance making. and factional
coalescing in Congress has WASH
ington witnessed such a strange
political mix-up as existed in the
Senate today over Presf dent
HoOver's demand that tue tariff bill
be enacted within two weeks.
The regular Republicans are split,
the Democrats are split, the Repub-
iiean insurgents are split and the
coalition of Democrats and InsIir.
gent Republicans, which has demon
strated its ability to control al everv
step in this tatiff. .fna4xing, has been
rent asulIier by Mr.. Hoover'a sud.
den intervention in the tariff war.
Such Republican figh.pfotectioA
stalwarts as Senators Reed (Fs.) OF
Pennsylvania and Smoot R) Of
Utah are at odds Oh whether tins
tariff bill should be abandoned as
an incorrigibla child, or an attempt
made to nurse it to enactment under
conditions wholly unacceptable to
the industrial East.
Split Upon Split
Such consistent iissenters az
Senators Borah (R) of Idaho and
johnson R) of California differ
on Mr. Hoover's demand. the
Idahoan> insisting that it ~can be
met, and the Californian professinx
to disbelieve that the President
could have made such an 'in.
credible request.
The tariff Democrats like Walsh.
Of Massachusetts,, Ransde!l and
Brcussard, of ouisiana, and
Fletcher, of Florida, are at variance
with the majority of their Demo.
cratic colleagues.
And as il to cap this amazing
hodge -podge of conflicting interest
and opinions, the Republican leader
of the Senate today was Jones IR.l
of Washington, who in this tariff
battle has sometimes voted with tie
regulars and sometimes with the
Democratic-Insurgent coalition.
Most of the Senate elders threw
up their hands today and admitted
privately they had little idea Of
what is ultimately to emerge from
this unprecedented situation.

out OF this mess" said one.
Tempers Prayed
Tempers are frayed and feelings
have been stepped on. and it was
a swapping and snarling Senate
that met today to carry on.
One thing. and seemingly one
thing only, stood out clear and
recognizable from the turmoil and
pickering.
That is that the cleavage between

Action Of the Grand Jury in jail

placed before it by the city editor

bitterly.
The fine journalistic spirit Of the

than break newspaper condolences,
was lauded. These reporters were
performing a real public service,

Some OF the principal editorials

Inc prison sentence, now
ever, was somewhat of the
synthetic variety, Justice
William HitZ announcing
from the bench that if Fall
were compelled to go Co
prison at this time he would
have suspended. that part Of
the sentence. >
It will stand in the record
against him, however, for ali
time-the first prison sentence
ever pronounced upon a Cabi-
net officer for commission Of
a felony.
Inasmuch as Falls attorneys are
planning to appeal the sentence to
the Supreme Court, which auto!
mstically acts as a stay, and in view
OF Falls pitianle physical condition.,
the court decided to tack on the
prison sentence, even though it prob
ably never will be served.
To Serve in District Jail
For purposes of the record, JUS
ttce Hitz specified that the District
of Columbia Jail would be the place
of confinement This is the insti-
tuition where Harry f. Sinclair is
now completing nine months for con-
tempt of court, his sentence growing
out of his oil dealings with Fall. Had
there been an additional day tackled
into the empty sentence meted QUITO
tn old man the place of confinement
would have had TO have been desig-
mated as Atlanta Federal prison.
The fine was only one-t third of the
amount which the court could have
imposed npcn the aged defendant.
The law specifies that the fine could
have been three times the amount of
the bribe, or $500, 900. but the court
only assessed the amount Of the
bribe, 100000
Prior to handing down sentence,
Judge, Hitz had denied a motion
for new trial which had attacked
his charge to the jury as biased
and unfair, and another motion
for arrest Of judgment based on
the contention that FAN had been
subjected to double jeopardy
through being tried for bribery
this latter because he already had
been acquitted Of conspiracy in
connection with the same trans
action.
FAN Is UnmOved
Justice Hitz, in passing judgment,
called attention to the fact that
the maximum penalty provided in
the statute was three years in
prison and a fine three times the
amount OF the bribe. He said:
eff this case had coma into court
under normal physical conditions,
in my judgment it would require
the maximum penalty. It did not,
however. What l saw for myself,
what the physicians reported and
the fact the jury recommended
mercy has convinced me Of that.

MRS. BOOLE REELECTED

No direct offensive will be made
by the National w. G. T. U. against
tobacco and cigaret advertising, it
appeared today as the annual con-
vention neared a close at the Murat.
Officials and delegates are de-
ternined on a stand of hands off
extensively and the use of education
only against the cigaret smoking Of
boys and girls.
The only opportunity for division
Of the organization on the smoking
habit will come when the report Of
Miss Ida Lillian Page of New Jersey,
chairman Of the narcotics depart
men, is read Wednesday morning.
Mrs. B0oIe Reelected
Mrs. Ella A. Boo1e, Brooklyn, N.
Y, was reelected president of the
National w. G. T. u, and Mrs. Ida
D. Wise Smith, Des Moines, Ia,
was re-chosen president. Mrs.
Anna Marden De Yo, Evanston, Ill,
was renamed corresponding Secre-
tary. Reelection of the three other
national officers appeared probable.
It was learned today that Miss
Page, although denouncing the use
of cigarets and deploring cigaret adj
vertising in magazines, will urge
that the w. @. T. u. keep an even
keel" and continue its fight on to-
bacco by educational means only.
IT do not expect any organized
effort to combat the advertising of
cigarets or their use besides edu-
cational methods" Miss Page said.
Will Approve Resolution
It was predicted the resolution in
troduced in congress by Senator
Reed Smoot against exploitation Of
cigarets by advertising will receive
the approval of the w. c. T. U.
Despite editorial comment that
President Hoover subtly rebuked the
w. G. T. u. in a letter to it's fifty
fifth convention, the organization
feels that he intended comnendation
for it's work of education, Mrs. Boole
said this morning.
MANY newspapers editorially
have misinterpreted that part of the
Presidents communication which
read, Too many people have come
to rely wholly on the strong arm
of the law to enforce abstinence,
forgetting that the cause Of tenn
perance has it's strong foundation in
the conviction of the individual "
Mrs. Boole said
