market here. and lifted values after
new low-price records for the season
had been touched. Today's Liver
pool wheat quotations were much be-
low what had been expected. and
this caused some transient weakness
here. but a majority OF Chicago
traders appeared TO consider that for
mt least the time being every depress-
ing influence had been more than
allowed for. and that rallies were
overdue.

GARNER WILL
ASSAIL TARIFF
Many Members of Majority
Party Also Express
Disapproval

WASHINGTON. May 6.-(P-
The possible political and economic
effects of the new tariff bill placed
before the house by ways and means
committee republicans were gagged
today by leaders Of both parties.
Such tariff experts of the minor
ity as Reps. Garner Of Texas and
Hull OF Tennessee and Sen Sim
mons or North Carolina were care
fully studying the 85.000-word doc
ument preparatory 70 onslaughts.
Some members of the majority
party also voiced dissatisfaction
various proposals in the measure,
including the duties on building
material. cedar lumber, shingles.
brick and cement and birch and ma
pie lumber. all Of which now are on
the free list.
Those issuing statements on these
duties included Reps. Ranseyer OF
Iowa, republican. Of the ways and
means committee. and Haugen OF
Iowa, chairman Of the agriculture
committee. Rep. Freer OF Wiscon-
sin. q republican independent, as
sailed the increased duties on sugar
as indefensible.
Praise Of the measure was voiced
by Rep. Tilson OF Connecticut. ma
jority floor leader. Chmn. Smell OF
the rules committee. which will re-
port a rule to govern consideration
Of the measure in the house, and
Chmn. Hawley and other republic
cans who took part in framing the
measure.
AS study and discussion went for
ward at the capitol, there was con-
lecture as to how Pres. Hoover
would view the bill in the light of
his expressed desire for a Limited"
revision Of customs duties with the
lesser rateJ left for the tariff ON
mission TO consider.
While Chmn. Hawley estimated
the actual changes in protective
rates would not exceed 20 per cent
OF the total dutiable items. only one
schedule. that dealing with tobac-
CO, w3s untouched. while an entire
~ new schedule was created en-
bracing manufactures OF artificial
silk. officially termed 'rayon" in the
bill.
One surprising development was
the action Of the committee IN re-
porting out ar entirely new bill as q
substitute for the existing Fordney-
McCumber act. Unless the senate
finance committee completely re-
writes the house measure. as IL usu-
ally does, every commodity en-
braced in both the dutiable and free
lists would be open to debate and
amendment on the senate floor.
To avoid such a contingency.
Pres. Hoover suggested. informally
at least. that no general tariff re-
vision law be placed before con-
gress. but that a bill in the nature
OF an amendment 10 the existing
act be reported.
The ways and means republicans
met the specific request of the pres
dent Tor reorganization of the tar
III commission by providing author
itv for him to terminate the terms
OF office OF the present six commits
sionerS ct his will by the simple
process OF sending the names OF
their successors TO the senate for
It's advice and consent.

3 AL CAPONE
CANCMEN SLAIN
Members OF Bugs Moran
Gang Avenge Massacre
Of Seven

HAMMOND, Ind, May 8
-(P)-A triple Staying to-
day sundered the brief truce
of Chicago's gan & | a n d.
Three men, identified by
newspapermen, as John Sea-
lisi, Albert Anselmi and Joe
Guinta, were found shot to
death on a rural roadside
early today and the forfeit
of their lives was seen as the
retribution of their under
world foes for the massacre
Of George Bugs Moran's
seven clansmen last St. Val
entine's Day.
Scalisi and Anselmi. a dreaded
pair of killers against whom police
have often had to conjure. were re-
gartSd as aces Of the Capone staff,
and their supposed executions today
were seen as the stroke OF avengers
for the seven followers OF Bugs
Moran, the North Side chief. who
we're lined up against the wall OF a
North Clark street garage three
months ago and swept with machine
gun fire.
2 Indicted fer Massacre
Thrice have Scalisi and Anselmi
been tried together for the slayings
of two policemen. only to win ac-
quittals because they professed TO
believe the detective squad that
chased them was a squad OF their
underworld foes.
Scalisi and Jack McGurn. MA
chine Gun" Jack. we're the only two
indicted for the Moran gang mass
acre. Their trials were deferred sew
eral times at the behest OF states
attorneys and police who wanted
further time to build up cases
against the men. and only last week
attorneys obtained their release
from the county jail under heavy
bond on the promise Of their appear
ance when the trial was called.
McGurn had been trapped in a
downtown hotel where he had been
hiding since the day Of the seven
fold murder. Scalisi, however. saun-
tered into police headquarters one
day and surrendered. observing he
had been one of the dozen listed as
wanted by the police for investiga-
ton.
Taken for a Ride
Guinta, who was thought to be
the third victim. was a tobacco store
owner and also had been questioned
in connection with the Moran gang
killings. In a pockes Of the mans
coat police found a card bearing the
name Of Joe Berardi. official Of q
cigar shop. The reporters. however,
believed this was not the dead mans
name. All other marks Of identi-
fication had been removed from the
bodies.
The men, police said. were prob
ably taken for the familiar gang
land ride" shot to death with pistols
or machineguns and the car ditched
on the lonely prairie road. The
cushion had been removed from the
back seat and the bodies dumped in
its place.

profit taking and selling prompted
by forecasted showers in West Texas
