rate Of 5o per cent vas approved.
 Pliers, pinchers nd nippers went back 10 a 60 per cent duty in spiic Of the drive by Peck, Stow < Will CON Of Southington, and several other Connecticut industries to place the tariff at 7j per cent. A few exceptions to this general rule were allowed.
 When the subject o' levy on TcvoiVcrs vas up. sevcra! Of the senators went far afeld. discussius: pistols in general. Senator Recd Of PennHyl"ania, pictured the benefits Of permitting the production of re volvcrs for somcGtic uses only. ana Senator Norris expressed hope that these weapons will some day bc taxed out Of existence. A spc- cifc duty Of 50 per cent vas fay- ored, as against q duty that would tax some parts 100 per cent.

 Speaking for the increase, Senator Bingham said one manufacturer Of these utensils has been unable 10 pay dividends for the past years, be- cause Of foreign composition.
 Repeats Misrepresentation Charge
 Alter Bingham had made it Enown that his statements in this matter wer" the result Of informa- ton given him by a manufacturer rather than from government rec ords, Senator Norris again charged misrepresentation by the manufac- turers

 senator NorbeCk Of South Dakota. took up the discussion where Norris left off. 10 say: "A manufacturer should not get q higher tariff merely because he is not making money. There are thousands Of fellows tilI- ing th" soil. sweating blood between the plo" handles for the last six, seven and eight years who are not making money. The east has been telling the farmer how to become nor" efficient and now the east is trying 10 raise the tariff because Of manufacturing incfficiency."
 Companies such as the Stanley Works Of New Britain, are making millions npon millions out Of exor- bitant charges, and arc not entitled 10 >h" tariff they nov have, to say nothing Of an increase, Senator Nor rig shouted in the heat Of the debate.

BILL TO Be.
lJRGEDB
CAPPER

Amobition of alley dwellings
in the District of Columbia,
under a new law considerably
1more simple and liberal than
the present statute, will be
sought by the Senate District
Committee at the next session
of Congress.
Senator Arthur Capper, chairman
cf the committee, has introduced
ths bill. which was not acted upon
at the last session and probably
will not be considered before the
proposed recess.
This bill eliminates disputed and
complicated provisions which have
resulted in protracted litigation and
made the present law well-nigh un-
enforceable.
Under the terms Of the Capper
bill, dwellings in alleys less than
80 feet wide and not running straight.
to and opening on two streets would
be abolished. The present law car
STfes these provisions, but also has
many confusing restrictions which
have never been definitely settled
by the court.
The Capper bill also would prevent
the alteration or erection of alley
dwellings in the future.
Penalties are provided for viola
fion OF the law and the bill has
saving clause so that IL any part
OF the bill should be declared un-
constitutional the decision would not
affect the validity OF the remainder.

AID FOR AIRPORT
IS TALKED
To DEATH

Defeated in his first attempt
yesterday to have the House
pass the resolution providing
a 100000 start on the pro-
posed municipal airport, Chair
man Will r. Wood, Of the
House appropriations Com
mittee, will try again today.
The measure was talked to death
when it was called up for considerar
ton yesterday afternoon. under o.
unanimous consent procedure. After
a half hour Of debate among Re-
publicans and Democrats, Repre-.
sentative George Huddleston of Ala
bama, registered an objection.
Chances Are Hurt
This ended the discussion. and
seriously impaired the chances of
passing the resolution at this ses-
sion of Congress. The 100000 IL
being asked for by the joint con-
gressional commission on airports to
buy land or options on sites for the
airport.
Representative Charles L. Under
hill, member of the commission and
its spokesman in the House, argued
in vain that the procedure recon-
Tnended by the commission would
save the Government at least
$2,OO0,OOo in buying the necessary
land.
Following adjournment Of the
House yesterday, Chairman Wood
expressed the belief that the pur.
pose of the resolution was not
clearly understood bv House mem
bers, and announced his intention OF
bringing up the resolution again to-
day.
Due to President Hoover'a strong
advocacy of the resolution as an
emergency measure, House leaders
are anxious to see the legislation
passed. Minority Leader John L.
Garner has no objection to it, but
Yesterday he made no move to
get Hnddleston to withdraw his OBJ
ieclion. II ii possible he may have
conferred with his colleagues since
Yesterday and viii endeavor tn see
to il that no objection Is tnterposed
when Wood calls up the resolution
again today.
Following the defeat Of the
measure Yesterday, Representative
Robert G.. Simmons, chairman OF
the District subcommittee OF the
appropriations committee, reiterated
his familiar statement that the
Federal Government is generous N
| its fiscal relations with the District,
and criticized the efforts Of Dis
trict citizens to obtain more than
So 900 600 lump sum contribution
Of the National Government to
the annual local budget.

Conviction of Kelleher, known as
a ''big shot" in the local sporting
racket, amazed and dazed those who
wander in the city's circles of
chance. Never before has one of
those kndWn rs the big fellows"
been forced to stand trial, much
less be convicted.
Can Get so Years
John B. Kelleher can go to prison
for almost so wears as the result of
his conviction. Sir counts of the
indictment were for felonies, while
the remainder were for misdemean-
ors. On each Of the felony charges
it Is possible for the court to i'm.
pose a fivs-y ear sentence.
Kelleher. however, is expected to
make bitter fight to upset the
conviction, and undoubtedly will
succeed in delaying imposition of
sentence by Chief Justice Walter /.
Mccoy, now set for June %.
His counsel, Daniel Thew Wright,
made a motion for a new trial inn
mediately after the verdict was an
nounced last night. Upon what
grounds this motion will be perfected
there has been no announcement.
Justice Mccoy, while waiting for the
perfection of the motion and while
celebrating on sentence, refused to
grant Kelleher his freedom on bond
and ordered him confined in the
Jail,
Keleher was indicted two years
ago, following raid on premises in
the 1400 block of H st. n. W. where
police and Department of Justice
agents claim they found gambling
stablishment in operation, with bets
being taken on horse races and with
blackjack games going.
Others indicted
Jointly indicted with Kelleher
were Charles D. Payne, Herbert C,
Alton, and Charles Turner. The
charges against Alton and Turner
were subsequently nolle pressed and
Payne pleaded guilty in May, 1927
Payne and Alton were the principal
witnesses against Kelleher, Payne
testifying that he had been EN-.
ployed by Kelleher to work in the
gambling establishment and Alton
testifying that he made bets these
