meant is that at this stage OF the fight
this outcome is seen by the fighters
themselves as the probable resultant OF
the controversy. Also at this stage OF
the fight this result has come to be
satisfactor to most of the members OF
the several groups. The combatants are
more than a little tired. They are In
q mood when they look with no dlSfavor
on any reasonable outcome, even though
it does not give them all they started
out for.
Among the Prograssives and Demo-
Gratis there is very small minority
which would be WILLING to night on IN
definitely for industrial rates below
those In the 1922 law. These are hope
lessly outnumbered, however, by those
who would regard the 1922 industrial
rates as an acceptable outcome OF the
fight Similarly among the Republicans
there are a few who would be willing
to fight on for some industrial increases
over the 1922 rates. These, again, are
heavily outnumbered by the Republic
cans who would regard retention OF the
1922 rates with few changes as a sat
sifactory way to end the fight ana get
the tariff out Of the way.
Possibility Of Speed.
The possession of this roughly idenA'
teal point of view about rates by fully
two-thirdS of the individual Senators
contains the possibility of greater speed
than Is now anticipated. If there were
not political objections to agreements
about rates, it would be possible for the
parties and factions to come to an I'M
on the basis here outlined.
Even without any understanding, the
existence of this common
point Of view Is certain to make for
speed. There are in the situation con-
ditions that conceivably could result IN
winding up the tariff in the Senate in
short time.
What is said here is about rates only.
There remain the debenture plan and
the flexible provision. AS to the deben-
ture plan. that is not likely to be
strongly insisted upon by the Senate.
AS to the flexible provision, there is
room for compromise between the sepa-
rate stands taken by the Senate and
the House. Altogether, the tariff fight
has reached stage where predictions
about future time consumption can rea-
sonably turn optimistic.

MAN HELD TO GRAND JURY
UNDER BOND OF $25, 900
Arraigned on Robbery Charge,
May Face Additional
Accusations

George Edwin Ross Shafer, who was
arrested recently in connection with
several robberies, was arraigned in Po-
lice Court yesterday on one charge and
held for the action of the grand jury
under $25, 900 bond. The case appeared
before Judge Robert e. Mattingly, with
Assistant United States Attorney David
A. Hart acting as prosecuting attorney
Shafer was arraigned on a warrant
which charges him with the robbery Of
a gasoline filling station of which Will
liam G.. Lambert, 1902 Fifth street
northeast, is manager and appeared as
complainant. The amount of this par
ticular robbery is said to be $40.05.
Hart said that there are approxi-
mately eight more charges of robbery
against the man which will be pressed.

TARIFF ENACTMENT
MAY COME in APRIL
This Is Latest Date Yet Men,
toned for Passage of
Measure.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

As the Senate approaches its Christ
mas recess the date for final enactment
Of the tariff is discussed in some quar-
ters in terms of April /. This is the
first time so late a date has been men
toned. Four months ago it sounded
sensational to say the bill would not
be enacted by the end of the special
session, on December !. Nevertheless,
while all previous estimates have proved
too optimistic, a situation has arisen
which may cause the suggestion OF April
to be too peSsimiStic.
There are conditions which may
bring about enactment of the tariff
within a comparatively short time after
Congress resumes following the Christ
mas recess. One such condition is the
rather solemn understanding that after
the Christmas recess the Senate will
work upon the tariff continuously. The
understanding is in the shape of a
public formal exchange of statements
between Senator Borah Ct the Progress
Sive-Democratic coalition and Senator
Watson of the Republicans. Such an
understanding is not often made in so
definite way. 1t is not an agreement
made in the spirit of compromise be-
tween two men who have contrary
wishes; 1t is an understanding between
two leaders, both of whom wish earn
eStly for the same objective. The max
ing of the understanding indicates that
both the groups now wish for the max
imum speed.
The common wish for speed is not the
only respect in which both the parties
have an identical point of view about
the tariff. Fully 20 out of the SO Sena-
tors, one would estimate now, have,
roughly. the same idea of what the
ultimate tariff rates will probably be.
There is no agreement or understanding
whatever about this as there is about
hurrying the bill. It just happens to
be a fact that fully two-thirds of the
Senate thinks about the same with re-
spect to what the ultimate rates are
likely to be.
What Is Expected.
This expectation, stated very broadly,
Is that on agriculture the rates will be
high ones voted by the Senate. AS re-
spects industry the common eXpecta-
ton is that the rates will be the existing
ones in the old 1922 law, with a very
small number of changes in a very
limited number Of commodities. That
this will be the outcome about rates is
the expectation of fully two-thirds of
the ProgresSives, probably four fifthS of
the Democrats and probably three
fourths of the Republicans.
To say this is the expectation does not
mean that this has been the objective
for which these groups have fought.
Quite the contrary is the fact. What is

MORE THAN
1O0LOSE
LIVES


High winds and gales sweeping
eastward toward Britain from the
midatlantic may add to the devas-
tation wrought on land and sea
by what is regarded as the worst
storm in the history of England,
1t was feared today.
A lull in the ferocity Of the
storm which has taken a toll of
more than 100 lives, dozens OF
ships and enormous property dam
age, caused those engaged in re,
lief work to redouble their efforts
today.
The last five days have been a
nightmare of privation and terror
to seafaring residents Of the
coasts Of England and the Cont
nent.
Shipping Is Hard Hit
About 10 ocean-going vessels
have either been sunk, severely
damaged or isolated from contact
with the world by the continuous
storms. NumberleSS smaller craft
have been lost as the gales ragged
from the shores of Denmark in
the North Sea down to PortugaPS
western coast.
Continuous rain has SWelled the
Thames River to such proper
tions that the city of London is
again menaced by floods which
in bygone years have caused ex-
tensive damage.
A number of towns and cities
in the Thames Valley are now Suf-
fering extensively from the rising
waters. Similar conditions exist
in other parts of England.
Several liners now in midocean,
including the Leviathan, are now
approaching the storm center and
are almost certain to be late in
docking on this side Of the At
lantic.
A number of vessels are still be-
1ieved to be in distress, tossed
about at the mercy of the noun
famous seas, giving rise to fears
that the death toll may be higher
when all are accounted for.
French Coast Also Suffers
Among the latest victims of tie
storm was the steamer Volumnia,
of Glasgow. The VolRmnia foun-
dered TOO miles off the coast of
Ireland while en- route to the
United States. The crew OF IS
was rescued by the Manchester
steamship liner Manchester Regi-
ment.
The yacht Cuananiche, owned
by Percy K. Hudson, of New
York, was another. The yacht
was wrecked off Cuxhaven, Eng
land. The two passengers aboard
and the crew of II, we're saved.
Almost as much damage was
caused on the French coast as
on the coast of England. The
lower part of Calais was flooded
and much property was damaged
at Dunkirk and Boulogne, num-
Der of houses we're unroofed on
the Island of Ushant.
Air traffic between England
and France has been suspended
for several days. Channel steam
ers are now essaying the crossing
at rare intervals, but only pas
sengers who have urgent business
to attend to are venturing aboard
them.
Barometer readings during the
height Of the storm reached the
lowest point recorded in a half
century.
Heroic rescues by members of
the English coast guard were
many. Minor injuries among the
passengers and crews of ships
arriving safely in various ports
after riding out the gales were
frequent.
