February Gross Up $4,000 and
Transportation Ratio Lower.

Regarding results of operations of
the Seaboard Air Line Railway for the
month of February, l.. r. Powell, IT.,
president of the company, said.
THE improvement in revenues which
began In the Fall Of 1923 was further
evidenced by the increase during the
month of February when. gross reve-
nues were $500 $50 or $2l2,000 more
than in February, 1923.
1.-THE outstanding feature Of Febru-
arys operations was the reduction of
$l4s,593 in transportation expenses or
a reduction of 4.33 per cent in the
transportation ratio. This reduction in
transportation expenses was effected in
the face of the above increase in the
volume of business and the transport
tation ratio of 1870 is the lowest Feb
ruary ratio since Federal control.
Notwithstanding increases In main
tenance of way and equipment of $780,
600, net income before adjustment bond
interest amounted to sos 900 or an in
crease Of $4,000 over February, 1925"

THEIR
PLAN FOR
HIGHER
LEVY

President HOOver's first
prOclamatiOns under the flex-
ible tariff provisions of the
present law, while boosting
duties on three agricultural
products, today were regarded
as severe blow to the cam
paign of the House farm
bloc' to force farm tariffs to
new high levels.
In fixing new duties on flaxsaed,
cream and milk at or below the rates
carried in the HaWley bill now
pending in the House, Mr.. Hoover
was placed in the position of cp-
posing the demands of the farm
bloc" for higher duties on these
products and a score of others.
Bloc Fights On
The Presidents = action. when was
on ton of the Tariff
Commission, was regarded as fresh
evidence that the White House is
fearful of the effect of embargo
tariff rates upon the country's
growing foreign commerce.
Despite the Presidents action,
however, spokesmen for the farm
bloc" continued to hammer away in
secret session of Republican mem
bers of the Ways and Means Com
mittee for higher tariffs.
The farm bloc" members, under
command of Representative Dickin.
son tRD of Iowa, urged The COM
mittee TO reconsider its action on
the original pleas for high duties on
live cattle, casein, long staple cotton
milk products. butter, tobacco and
many other farm products.
The fact that Mr.. Hoover had
raised the tariff on flaxseed, which
hits Argentina. milk and cream
which affects Canada, and window
glass. which strikes at France and
Belgium was. they said. only an
indication that he is determined to
protect the domestic market against
inroads of foreign commerce.

WINDSOR, Conn. May IS (IN So.
Authorities were no nearer today
to a solution of the mysterious
death of Walter Treadway Hunting
ton, handsome Harvard Junior, than
they were a week ago when he was
found shot to death in a lonely
swamp on the outskirts of this city.
1t has become a mystery within
a mystery. The authorities do not
vet know. they admit, whether 1t
was a case of murder or suicide.
No arrests have been made and
none seem to be imminent.
SkepticaI observers are gradually
coming more to the conclusion that
the Huntington case will defy solu-
ton.
Search proceeded today for the
.S3-caliber pistol with which young
Huntington killed himself, accord
ing to the theory advanced ana ad-
hered to by the chief of the investl-
eating staff, County Detective Ed
ward j. Hickey. All day yesterday.
Hickey and his aides worked at the
scene in an effort to find the gun.
Today they were to search the
river at Windsor Locks. more than
two miles from where Huntington
was shot or shot himself.
The Huntington family always
held their heads high here in Wind
sor, which was founded by their
ancestors in 1885, but since the
tragedy they have not emerged from
their palatial home. Every night
their mansion is ablaze with lights,
but they refuse to admit any visi-
tors, only the officials, Detective
Hickey and Police Chief Maurice
Kennedy have access to the house.

FACTION
FIGHTS
BILL
BY WIN. K. HUTCHINSON
international News Service

While the farm relief battle
shifted back to the House to-
day the Senate developed q
new legislative war over Presi-
dent Hoover's plea for enact
ment Of the congressional re-
apportionment and 1880 CEN
sus bill.
The farm bill containing the ex-
port debenture plan Mr.. Hoover dis
approved passed the Senate by q
vote of 81 to 3S and was sent to the
House Immediately with a request
for a conference to iron out differ
ences between the two branches. The
fact that 81 Administration Sena-
tors voted against the bill in the
Senate occasioned considerable sur
prise.
Long Delay Feared
A conflict between House and Sen
ate over their" respective lconstitu-
tional rights may develop. Admins
tration leaders, though, were hope
full the House would simply reject
the debenture without assailing or
questioning the Senate's power to
originate it. The issue might delay
enactment of farm relief for months.
If raised.
The bill as finally passed by the
Senate would set up a Federal Farm
Board with broad powers to stabil-
ize pri es and a $500, 900 900 revolv-
ing fund to make loans to co-opera'
/ tives and other marketing organiza-
! tions. Giant stabilizatlon corpora
tions would be financed by the Gov
| ernment, for handling surplus crops
/ and to export overflow production.
The debenture would be invoked
| in time of emergency and under 1t,
a bounty would be paid on exported
| surpluses equal to HI. the tariff on
| any particular crop.
G, o. p. Split Wide
On the final roll call. q Reuub-
| leans and 33 Democrats voted tor
! the measure while 81 Republicans
/ and Democrats voted against it.
The Republicans opposing the meas
ure. came chiefly from along the
| Eastern seaboard but were led by
! Senator Watson tR.) of Indiana, ma
jority floor leader, and included Re-
/ publican conservatives from all sec
tions.
The Senate debate ended in
desultory fashion A score of amend
I ments were voted down and another
score were abandoned. A few,
sponsored by Senators Shortridge
(R) Of California. Brookhart tR) of
Iowa and Blaine (R) of Wisconsin,
were adopted. Senators generally
seemed to have lost interest in the
battle following adoption Of the
debenture plan.

with, but after the blood has warmed
up the brain cells, he lifts up his
clarion voice and sends keen shafts of
biting sarcasm into the body of his
opponent This is his sixteenth year
i'm the house and he has developed
into an exceedingly able debater, quick
to take advantage of weakness in
his opponents arguments, quicf>to
point out Inconsistencies, fOrceful in
denunciation and about as logical as
the next man.
OF course he knew that StOckwell S
resolution concerned him deeply and
he Immediately accepted the chal-
lenge. Moving that the resolution be
rejected, he blandly described it either
as Joke" or gesture" and wanted
to know why Stockwell had waited till
IL days after the state had hired the
relatives of representatives. To dis
charge them now, he held, would be a
breach of faith. Then he took a shot
at Stockwell's anti-war stand ten years
ago and suggested that his concern
for the eX-servicemen wasn't exactly
genuine In that connection he lauded
the eX-servicemen and said that out
of the 1913 house employees exclusive

Stockwell sits just in front of Nor

shook his finger under the long, aqua
line Norton nose, and sOlemnly de-
clared that his resolution was neither
gesture nor a joke He launched a
series of thunder bolts at the practice
of appointing wives, sons daughters
and other relatives of members to

such a practice leads to corruption
and undermines a democratic form OF

as a Scar" and .'Mussolini." Others
spoke also, both for and against the
