SneeI Agreed On

Washington. Nov. l LP-The pow erful coalition of democrats and western independent republicans of the senate today was aligned with republican regulars on the question of expediting tariff revision but vigorously reaffirmed its determina- tion to write the type of bill it wishes.
 Spurred by the expressed desire of President Hover, republican leaders meanwhile strove to effect some means of bringing the bill to a final vote at the earliest possible date.
 Senators Borah, Idaho, and Nor ris, Nebraska, republican indepen- dent leaders. and Harrison, Missis- sippi, and Walsh of Montana, demo- cratic chieftains, had given their as surances that they were entirely willing to hasten the disposition of the bill. but warned at the same time that they would insist on 'ample" discussion on many items.
 The appeal of President Hoover and Senator Watson, Indiana. ad- ministration leader, for completion of the bill during the special ses- sion precipitated conflicting express sions.
 Reed Pessimistic
 Senator Reed Pennsylvania, strong ly identified with the republican regulars, reaffirmed his belief that the bill would die in conference.
 President Hoover's reiterated de- sire for continuation of the fiex- ible clauses of the present. law with power vested in the presidency to change rates, drew the immediate fire of Jouett Shouse. chairman of the national executive committee of the democratic party
 Shouse said it was 'regrettable that the presidents only contribu tion to the solution of the tariff problem is another plea for that part of the flexible tariff provision which gives him authority to alter rates V
 Urges Tariff Statement
 Continuing, he asserted that Hoovers "eminently desirable solu tion'' in completing the bill by the end of the special session "could probably have been accomplished had the president indicated what sort of tariff bill he wanted.'
 Concluding, he declared that the president can have his desire to have a bill go to conference within the next two weeks if he will be frank even at this late day. assum ing always that he still means what he said in his opening message to congress"
 The senate today was absorbed in consideration of the rates of the second schedule, having passed over remaining items of schedule one inasmuch as Senator La Fol lette, republican, Wisconsin, who wished to speak on them could not be present.

 Both Harrison and Robinson eX- pressed confidence in the economic soundness of the nation and in the ability Of financial leaders to right the present situation.
 Harrison contended no one could name the cause for the stock mar ket collapse and added "I don't propose to do anything by vote or expression that will retard in the restoration Of economic stability"
 The Missssippian argued Raskob in his published interviews had only encouraged the purchase of sound stocks, paying dividends as invest ments and not for speculation.

Authorities considered today bring
ing George f. Brown, alias Franklin,
here from the Sacramento Jail to
tell his own version of the disappear
ance of his wife and child six years
ago.
Spades and shovels of a dozen
deputy sheriffs so far have failed to
reveal any human bones, although
the relics of a number of animal car
casses were brought to light on the
W. A. Sears ranch lately dubbed the

Time-dimmed memories of two of
Browns children, Russell, II, and
Ruth, Is, proved to be of little aid
to sheriff Robert l.. Hill and his
deputies. The children were able
only approximately to locate the
spots where they had seen their
father digging the day of the disap-
pearanee of their mother and broth
er, and on later dates.
If the search for the missing moth
er and son fails completely, Brown
will be prosecuted in Sacramento on
the statutory charges preferred
there against him by his three daugh-
ters, Sheriff Hill said.

Northwestern passenger train today
ended the drink-inspired rampage of
Ferdinand Preuss, who killed two
policemen and merchant and Sc
vcrely wounded three other persons
late yesterday while defending him
self against capture in his West Side

of those who took part in the search
were friends of Sergeant John Lee
Conley, the 42 year old detective bu-
reau squad leader who was first to
fall before Preuss' pump gun.
Police said they believed Preuss
had wandered about aimlessly all
night and that when he sobered u
realization of the fearful conse-
qucnccs of his spree forced him to
take his own life.
"I IN glad it happened that way,'
said Mrs. Rose Preuss, wife of the
killer, who said her husband had
been drinking heavily for three
weeks. Scrgt. Conley's squad was
first to report at the scene of the
disturbance. The house was quiet
then. 1t looked like just another

man Herbert Hagberg peered through
a side window, shading their eyes
with their hands.
Shoots without Warning
From within and without warning
came the roar of the pump gun. Con

again and Hagberg spun around, and
fell dead.
