TARIFF CAUSES
4 WEEKS DEBATE
As Senate Debate Nears it's End
Rivals Fight for Single
Vote.

WaShlngtOn-The senate has en-
tered the fourth week of it's tariff de-
bate with some chance of a decision
on its major controversial point. The
issue is whether the President is to
be permitted to power of raising or
lowering the tariff upon recommends
ton of the tariff committee, or with
its sanction. This point will go to q
vote in a very few days.
Leaders of both sides, after these
weeks of vigorous efforts to bolster
the voting strength of their respec.
tive positions, protested confidence in
the outcome. They conceded, how.
ever, single vote might decide the
issue. Attacking the principle as
tyranny" the statement indicated
acceptance of proposal by Senator
George w. Norris, (rep., Neb.) as an
amendment to one sponsored by Sen
ator F. M. Simomns (dem., N. c.
The Simmons amendment would
change the bill to provide that the
President, upon receipt of a recon.
mendation from the tariff commits.
sion, should mere transmit it to con-
gress, restoring to the legislative
branch exclusive power to make the
alteration proposed.
Under the Norris amendment, de-
signed to prevent frequent reopening
Of the troublesome tariff question,
would ho ~ faI To-,
sideration of such recommendations to
the rate or rates concerned.
The Simmons proposal is designed
as substitute for the amendment
sponsored by Chairman Reed Smoot
Of the finance committee, which
would change the language of the
flexible provisions of the house bill
so as to continue with slight changes
the policy as set forth in the existing
law.
Shearer Hired to Secured Parity.
Washington-William B. Shearer
told senate committee an entirely
different story of his mission abroad
at the Geneva naval conference from
that hitherto related to the commit.
tee by the ship building officials who
employed him to represent them at
Geneva. All of the ship building of.
ficials testified that Shearer was EN-.
ployed merely to observe and report
the trend of the conference, but when
Shearer himself got on the witness
stand, he said he was to go to Geneva
to see that the United States would
get eur side Of the story-and to see
to it that we got treaty or parity
with Great Britain, and If no parity,
no treaty.
$4,000 Stolen from Sears Roe buck.
Minneapolis, Minn.-Three of II per-

u. S. AGRICULTURAL
SURVEY is PLANNED
Thorough Analysis of Industries
Will Be Made by Engineer
ing Council.

Plans for nationwide, five-year sur
vey of the agricultural industries on a
scale never before attempted, similar to
the survey made by the Hoover commit
tee on waste in industry. is planned by
the American Engineering Council, it
was announced yesterday by Lawrence
w. Wallace, secretary of the council.
The survey will be conducted in CO.
operation with the American Society of
Agricultural Engineers, and thorough
studies will be made of the economic,
social, financial and engineering phases
OF agriculture in the United States.
1T is the conviction of engineers that
such an analysis of the agricultural in
dustries would lead to a fundamental
and an economic improvement through
cut the realm of agriculture" Wallace
declared.
Methods of determining the him
ORANGES to agricultural development and
well being and the specific means OF
removing them will be worked out, it
is believed by the engineers, to the great
benefit of the American farmer.

ORIGINAL LEAVES
OF SCRIPTURE HERE
Specially Ventilated Box
Contains Holy Papers in
Freer Gallery of Art.

A priceless treasure lies in specially
designed vault under constant tenn
perature in the basement of the Freer
Gallery OF Art in a part of the original
assembled manuscript of the New Testa-
ment. The precious parchment reposes
in peculiarly built tin box ventilated
SO as to prevent deterioration and in an
atmosphere consistent with the sands
from under which it was found so as to
insure preservation
Some of the parchment upon which
the Greek letterings are made is goat
skin, some sheepskin.
In thickness the parchment varies
from .13 nm. to "a nm. The majority
OF the leaves are over 20 nm. thick The
thinnest leaves are of goatskin and the
thickest of sheepskin
The size of the leaves varies good
deal. At present the longest leaves
measure 1872 inches (342 cm.) and
none of the leaves fall below 10 inches
(33 cm) on the undecayed edge AS all
have wrinkled and Shrunk somewhat
with age and decay, the original length,
authorities believe, must have been
about IA inches 1855 cm). The original
width is still harder to determine.
Wrinkling and Shrinking.
In the present state the widest leaves
measure 934 inches, CAD, but as the
binding edge has suffered almost COM
plete decay, accompanied by wrinkling
and shrinking, over about half of the
leaf, it is believed that the original
width must have been at least IL inches
(28 cm).
The New Testament manuscript of
the Pauline EpistleS, when found, was
almost hnflnlacclyT daCo Irod condition
No value was placed on it either by the
dealer or by Mr.. Freer in the purchase
of the collection. Neither was the con-
tent OF the fragment known to either
of the parties, and it was preserved and
sold with the three large manuscripts
rather because of its association with
them than from any supposed value of
it's own.
1t was thought, however, that some
words would prove legible on each of
the pages If the leaves could be sepa-
rated without too great mutilation.
1t was a blackened, decayed lump of
parchment as hard and as brittle as
glue. A thin-bladed dinner knife was
used to separate the leaves.
In partly decayed, partly preserved
manuscript copy of the Old Testament
there remains lot leaves or fragments
of leaves. OF these the first is tiny
fragment, which preceded the first
Psalm and may have belonged, it was
said, to an Introductory statement but
which more likely came from the bind
ing, though the writing seems similar.
Ink Of Dark Brown.
In this manuscript the ink Is of a
dark brown color and has faded but
little in the undecayed portions. On the
other hand, where the parchment has
| 0ecayed SO much as to be almost black,
! tie ink has become white. The edge
Of the decayed parts, where the parch-
ment is brown and the ink has not
/ changed, is often very hard to read.
