BY the Associated Press.

by L1e ASSOClateu FTeSS.
Opening the drive of the farmers for
higher tariff protection fer i've stock
and agricultural products, Representa-
tive Selvig Republican, Minnesota,
urged the House ways ana means COM
mittee today to increase duties on live
stock dairy and poultry products, flax
seed, corn, potatoes and potato starch
rutabagas and clover seed.
He said the farmers were looking
hopefully to Congress for such relief
"Stabilization of the live stock indus
try would result from higher duties" B
F. Davis of Denver, representing the
Colorado Legislature, Farm Bureau and
Stock Growers Association, said.
Davis proposal would call for apply
ing the duties to the Philippines. whose
imports are now duty free. He also
urged increases on oleo oil to 81 cents,
against l cent; oleo stearin to As cents,
against l cent. and on talloW to 3 cents,
against p cent.
j. S. Montgomery Minnesota, general
manager of the Central Cooperative
Association of South st. Paul Mimi, in
urging increased cattle and meat du-
ties, declared if the embargo against
Argentina were raised they could un-
dersell domestic producers in the New
York market from Sc to So per hun
dredWeight on beef cattle
v. K. Houston, Delegate to Washing
ton from Hawaii, urged an increase of
cent in the present duty of cents a
pound on canned pineapples. This, he
said, would put the product on par
with other canned fruit.
$50 Witnesses Listed.
The committee, which at the outset
of the hearings, announced that in re-
adjusting tariff rates particular atten-
ton would be given farm products, had
listed $50 witnesses for appearance il
the three days it set aside for the Sec
ton of the Fordney-M cCumber act
dealing with agriculture commodities
To hear all of these witnesses today,
tomorrow and Monday was regarded by
committee men as an impoSsibilty, due
to the number of items to be covered
md the necessity for crosS-eXamination
They had predicted. therefore, that
as an off-day throughout the hearings,
but has yet to be passed, would be
devoted to business.
Some Products Already Touched.
Several farm products already had
been touched upon during the hear
ingS on the first six schedules of the
law. Committeeman predicted some
opposition would develop, chiefly from
importers, but the majority of the wit
nesses were expected to combine for
higher duties.
Several House members were among
the witnesses scheduled to appear, as
we'll as growers, retail dealers, chain
store and wholesale dealers, farm or
ganization representatives, packers and
scores of individuals interester in vari-
GUS phases of agriculture.

FIVE FINED AFTER RAID.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va,
January 24-Fines of $2575 each were
today assessed by Police Judge Harry r..
Thomas against five men arrested Sat-
urday night in raid on a poolroom in
Cherrydale. Those fined were Melvin
Marcy, Lewis Luzi, Ernest Luzi, Will
liam Hamilton and Harry Hager.
According to the evidence presented
by Policemen Raymond Crack and C.
w. Carr, who made the arrest, the men
were engaged in a game of "keeley'
pool at the time of the raid. There
was between SO and 81 on the table at
the time, they said. All were charged
with gambling.
A charge of permitting gaming was
lodged against John Hager, proprietor
of the poolroom. His trial had not been
completed at late hour this after

doF knew that he had reached the limit
OF his strength, that he could no longer
keep up with the younger dogs, and felt
that he might as well go away and die?
Return Unlikely.
He went back to the camp and wan
dered around there disconsolately for
a time. Several men saw him and
spoke to him. And then he disappear
ed, wandering off into the lonelieSt
wilderness known to man. There is a
bare possibility that he may come back,
for dogs have gone away down here
for many days and returned, but Chi
hooks age and training and his fond
ness for Walden makes this seem I'M
likely.
1t is more probable that a deep
crevaSSe or mound of snow out on
the barrier hides Chinook, and that
he died as Walden said, with his boots
on" working until he could work no
more and then quietly slipping away
to die alone.

DEFICIENCY BILL
NEAR CONF FERENCE
Measure Carries Senate Pro-
hibition and Tax Refund
Hearings Amendments.

BY the Associated Press.
Carrying with it Senate approval and
Senate amendments. the first deficiency
bill today was on its way to confer
ence.
OF the two principal amendments,
one provided $24, 10000 for prohibition
enforcement, the other would make
public hearings by Treasury Depart
ment committees on tax refunds in
volving more than $4,000.
The fund to aid liquor law enforce
ment was voted Tuesday, but the tax
refund amendment was not approved
until late yesterday, only short time
before the Senate roll call on the de-
ficiency bill. 1t was compromise from
an amendment offered by Senator Nc
Kellar of Tennessee, which would have
taken the refund cases involving more
than $4,000 from the Bureau of IN
ternal Revenue and would have turned
them over to the Board Of Tax Appeals.
Mellon Opposed Amendments.
Secretary Mellon opposed the $24,000,-
900 addition for enforcement and he
was also against McKellar'S first pro-
posed amendment. In addition, num-
Der of the TenneSSeean'S colleagues dis
agreed with him, most of them declar-
ing that it would put too much work
on the Board of Tax Appeals, Nickel
lar then amended his proposal to make
the tax refund hearings public, and an
agreement was quickly reached.
Throughout the debate on the original
Mcclellan proposal there was criticism of
the present system of tax refunding.
Couzens of Michigan contended that the
Treasury should first assert the claims,
then make the testimony and documents
in the case public and afterward ask
Congress to appropriate the necessary
funds.
Norris Assails Tax Plan.
Senator Norris of Nebraska, assailed
what he termed the secret handling of
tax cases, declaring it was detrimental
to nc public interest.
ii th2 amendments to the deficiency
bill are proved by the House, the
measure go to the President. He has
not indicated his attitude toward it..
but differences of opinion in the House
on the addition for prohibition enforce
ment have already developed.
The deficiency bill as finally passed
by the Senate carried $126,l78,1I2, in
comparison with $84.130,O 3O as approved
by the House. Both the Senate and
House approved the provision calling for
$75,000,000 to be expended in tax
refunds.
An amendment appropriating $S,4O0,-
600 for the new House Office Building
to be erected on the south side of the
Capitol was the largest item of interest
to Washington in the bill, which passed
the Senate late yesterday and went to
conference. The proposed structure is
to be in addition to the present House
Once Building, in which members are
crowded for Office space.
The deficiency measure also provides
money to obtain an architects model
OF the new United States Supreme
Court Building, to be put up on the east
front of the Capitol, and funds for a
similar model of the entire Federal
building plan for the Pennsylvania ave-
nue-Mall triangle.
A number of other local items to meet
urgent requirements of the District
Government and various Federal de-
partments for the balance of this fiscal
year also are carried in this bill.
