IN TARIFF
HITS FOES Of
NEW BILL

A curious campaign of
strategy, intended to force
some Democrats and Insur-
gents into demanding higher
tariff duties on their home
products, was revealed today
by Republican leaders on the
eve of the tariff battle in the
Senate.
In the midst. of numerous tariff
increases, the Republican member.
ship on the Senate Finance Com.
mittee slashes rates on short list
Of articles, produced chiefly in
Southern and Western States. In
each instance, the strategy un.
derlying the slash was an intent to
swing doubtful votes" to support
Of the new tariff bill in return for
ultimate increases In the rates
Marked As Pawns
A score of Senators apparently
were marked out as pawns in this
battle of tariff wits. The list will
include Senator Jones (R.) of Wash
ington. often an independent; Sen
ator Din (D.) of Washington, Sem
ator Simmons 3D. of North Car
olina, the minority tariff leader:
Senator Overman (D.) of North
Carolina, his colleague: Senators
Harris Cd and George D.) of
Georgia, Senators Fletcher (D.) and
Tremmell Cd OF Florida, Senators
Heflin CD. and Black D) Of
Alabama, Senators Walsh CD.) and
Wheeler (D.b of Montana, and
others not so obviously identified.
All these, however, were sur
ant home products slashed in bill
rates generally.
The new bill meanwhile was re-
ported to the Senate by Senator
Smoot (R.) of Utah, committee
chairman. 1t included not. only. the
in the administrative provisions,
topped by the new flexible tariff
provision and the Reed plan for an
ultimate conversion OF the new
duties from a foreign to a domestic
valuation. The Democrats delayed
their report on minority amend

daily sessions the rest OF this week.
The new bill showed cotton gloves
as the principal item on the "strate-
gic list" Widely manufactured in
the cotton mills of North Carolina
and Alabama, the Senate Repub'
licans slashed in half the House rate
on such gloves. The House had al
lowed a small increase. but the Sen
ate eliminated that and cut the rate
even below existing law.
Qualified observers pointed out
that Senators Simmons and Heflir
will have to halt their attacks or
the bill at some point to suggest
an increase in these duties--rathel
an embarrassing maneuVer
Shingles was another importan
item on this list. The House placed
25 per cent ad valorem rate or
shingles but the Senate Republicans
put this article back on the free
list. Senators Jones and Dill haC
importuned for protection for the
shingle industry. but their pleas
went unheeded. Now both will have
to ask the Senate to help them gel
rate on shingles.

With the battle-scarred war vet
eran out of service and nearing the
scrap heap of total oblivion New
York financier and newspaper man,
Edward w. Harden, one of the
three civilians present at the bat
tie of Manila Bay, has offered to
purchase the vessel outright and
then turn it over to the nation TO
be placed in service, not as boat,
but as a permanent memorial to
the famous man and the famous
crew of the fine old hulk.
Secretary Charles Francis Adams,
of the Navy, who was the recipient
OF Harden's offer. said that while
he wanted to accept his offer he
could not for he has no power to
spend the added sum that would be
necessary for caring for the vessel.
1t is likely, however, in the face
of pleas that Harden's offer will be
the basis of Congressional action
of some sort.
The cruiser that carried the body
of the Unknown Soldier to its final
