if drug traffic had anything to do with
the killing. while County Prosecutor
John j. Chester, jr., questioned the
wife of DR.. James S. Shook, university
professor, in an effort to learn if she
could throw any light on a motive for
the brutal hammer murder.
While Chester questioned Mrs. Shook
whose husband is one of the two men
held in the case, John F. Seidel, coun-
sci for Shook, told newspaper men that
he was convinced Miss Hix was a mar
cotic peddler and that she was slain
by either drug-crazed addict or a de-
generate who had been Following her

Seldel's statement indicated that
Shocks attorneys believed third man,

had anything to do with it.

mons came after Chester was informed

TARIFF REWRITING
IN SENATE H|NTED
Possibility Held Out That
Combine Will Revamp
House Measure.
BY the Associated Press.


The possibility was held out to Con-
gress today that the tariff measure may
be rewritten in the Senate by the Dem
ocratic- Republican independent group
which twice overrode President Hoo
yer in the farm relief contest, and that
it may be rewritten with a view to con-
fining revision principally to agricul-
tural products.
The group yesterday showed its
strength anew in its support of the
resolution of Senator Borah, Republic
an, Idaho, which proposed to instruct
the finance committee to discard the
House tariff bill and limit revision to
agricultural and related products and
was defeated by margin of only one
Vote-39 to 3S.
That vote left the Republican major
ity of the finance committee free to-
day to proceed with it's rewriting of
the House bill as it sees fit for the
next two months, but it made clear
that the whole task will be gone over
again after the measure is taken up in
the Senate.
The Borah vote shows what a con-
test is in prospect when the tariff bill
does get before the Senate Only seven
Democrats voted against the Idahoan,
while 13 Republicans joined the Demo-

The vote brought almost the same
lineup which combined for a major

export debenture farm relief plan to
which Mr.. Hoover was so opposed. 1t
was not disclosed to what extent Mr..
Hoover'S views on the attempt to limit
the tariff revision were known, but
when Senator Jones. Republican, Wash
ington, proposed the very language
used by the President in his message
to the extra session as an amendment
broadening the scope of the Borah reSo-
luton, it was rejected, 80 to 38.
Senator Johnson, Republican, Cali
fornia, voted against the Jones amend
ment and then he voted also against
the Borah resolution. He explained
that he did not want to kill the Borah
resolution by indirection''
Senator Couzens, Republican. Mich

amendment was not to be interpreted
as vote for the House bill, against

REAPPORT|ON BILL
SIGNED BY HOOVER
Measure Provides for Most
Extensive Census Ever
Taken in U. S.
President Hoover today signed the
ood acknowledgements t,il1

President Hoover today signed the
census and reapportionment bill.
This bill, which calls for the greatest
inventory of life and property ever
taken by this Government, was signed
without ceremony. Besides reappor-
tioning the House membership upon the
basis of the 1920 population, this bill
authorizes the census of the popula-
ton, agriculture, irrigation, drainage,
distribution of goods and unemploy-
ment. 1t calls for an expenditure of
more than $40 ,0o0, 600 and will require
the temporary employment of more
than 100000 persons. The gathering Of
these data will begin April 1. 1880.
The reapportionment will be the first
since 1910. The census count will be
for the calendar year 1880, and the
House members will be apportioned
upon it. Under this reapportionment
number of States will gain additional
representations. while several other
States will lose seats. The size of the
House will be retained at its present
number, ABS members.
Disposition of the cenSus-reapportion
ment question was one of the major
tasks listed by President Hoover for the
special session. This and farm relief
now have been acted upon. OF the
other three, the tariff bill is pending
before the Senate finance committee,
and the Senate has refused to approve
resolution to postpone operation of
the national origins clause of the immi-
grafton act. The census act also pro-
vides a continuous arrangement where
by all future decennial cenSuses and
reapportionments will take place auto
matically without further enactment of
law unless the present status is re-
pealed or superseded.

Only Point for Congress to Deter

President Hoover announced today
that the United States will not sign
the Young reparations plan, recently
agreed upon by the experts conference
at Paris.
The President said that since the
American Government is not a party
to the plan it will not be necessary for
the United States to sign it. The plan
will therefore not have to be submitted
to Congress for approval The only
point which Congress will have to de-
termine, the President said, will be the
granting Of authority to the admins
