give the committee five and nan
weeks in which TO revise the house
measure and report the bill TO the
Senate by August 19.
The controversy over President
Hoover's recommendation for limited
revision found some OF the sturdlest
speakers pitted against one another, the
exchanges becoming more pointed as
prospects for an early vote increased
Senator Borah contended the Presl-
dent had proposed tariff relief Tor
limited number of non-agrlcultural
commodities, but declared the House
had gone far beyond the executives
program. He said his resolution would
not have been offered if the House had
confined revision within the scope OF
the Republican party's pledges.
The proposal was supported by other
Republican independents, including
Senator Norris of Nebraska, and was
opposed by another Republican group
including Senators Smoot, Edge, New
Jersey; Bingham, Connecticut, and
Reed, Pennsylvania
Borah said he looked upon the tariff
farm
relief legislation the special session was
called to consider, and his sole purpose
was to obtain an understanding
whether that revision was to be pri-
marily for agriculture or only incidental
to a general tariff readjustment.
Amendment Offered.
Senator Jones, assistant Republican
leader. proposed to amend the reSolu-
ton to take in other lines of production
which could prove a slackening in &C
tivity due to inSurmountable foreign
competition, which he said was in con-
formity with the recommendations OF
the President.
Borah said adoption of this would
throw open the tariff to general revision
and that if the readjuStment was not
restricted, the general revision would be
upward. He added that while the
words related products" in his pro-
posal were open to many interpreta-
lions, he would leave it to the finance
committee to act in good faith in deter
mining what he meant.
Many Senators, however, found fault
with the proposal for this reason, some

Say Machine Gun Used.

DETROIT, June 18 L4).-Charges that
a United States Coast Guard cutter
turned a machine gun on two men and
a woman in a Speedboat on the Detroit
River were sent to the Canadian gov
eminent at Ottawa today by Chief of
Police James Proctor of Sandwich,
Ontario. The woman was said to be a
Mrs johnson" of Sandwich.
The men in the boat, Carl Raymond
of Monroe and James O'Connor of
Newport, Mich. told Chief Proctor
that the windshield of their boat was
shattered by the Coast Guard fire.
They and Mrs. johnson escaped injury.
Police and residents of Sandwich said
repeated bursts from the machine gun
were audible ashore for several seconds.
Both men in the boat said they were
not challenged before the Coast Guards
men opened fire.
They could not say whether they
were in American or Canadian water at
the time, being near the middle of the
river.
Chief Proctor addressed his protest
to the Dominion department of ex-
ternal affairs and said: While I APP
preciate the very difficult duties that
the American officers are trying to
perform, L feel that matter of this
kind should be brought to your atten-
ton before more serious trouble ensueS."

CONVENTION "DEPLOREs" ACTION.
Protestant Knights Hold Mrs. De Priest
Should Have Been Entertained Alone.

NORFOLK. Va. June 10 GP)--A reso-
luton "deploring" the action of Mrs
Herbert Hoover in entertaining the wife
of Oscar de Priest, colored member of
Congress, together with white wom-
en-, at a White House tea several days
ago. was presented at the opening ses-
sion of the sixth annual national con-
vention of the knights of American
ProteStanism here yesterday.
The resolution, sponsored by the
Springfield. Ill. chapter. and presented
by the Richmond Hill, N Y, Chapter
was applauded by the 1862 official dele
gates present. 1t was referred to a spe-
cial committee for report to the conven-
ton Wednesday in its final form when
q vote will be taken.
Another resolution expressed regret at
the injection of the religious issue into
the last presidential campaign and cleo
ton, condemning the tactics of all who
stressed the issue whether they were
enti-Smiths, Republicans or Democrats.
In the De Priest resolution opinion
was expressed that Mrs. Hoover should
either have entertained the Negro Con-
greSsman's wife alone or in company
with other colored women, and not
mixed with white people.

ture films were involved because an ele-
ment in their production was low grade
corn.
Senator Oddie, Republican, Nevada,
said manganese, now in the metals
schedule, was a related commodity be-
cause it was good for the soil
Senator Norris, who injected another
element in the situation during the day
with the introduction of revamped eX-
port debenture plan as a rider to the
tariff bill, described the Borah proposal
as an administration measure"
Advances Reason.
One reason he advanced for this was
that it was supported by Senator Allen
of Kansas, who he said gave up jour-
nalism to come to the Senate for the
sole purpose of putting on the statute
books the proposals of President Hoo
YER"
Referring to declaration by Senator
Watson of Indiana, the Republican
leader, that revision as extensive as that
provided by the House was inevitable,
Norris said Senator Tess, Republican,
Ohio, would have to revise his roll of
pseudo Republicans" because Watson
was "out of harmony" with the Pres
ident.
Chairman Smoot declared there were
inconsistencies in the existing law af-
fecting other than farm products and
called attention that the President had
referred to these in his message.
Senator Edge characterized the reso-
luton as the first effort to direct a
standing committee of the Senate how
TO proceed with legislation"
Senator Herbert Republican, Rhode
Island, also opposed the Borah plan,
declaring the outcome of the election
was a mandate to the party to aid In
INDUSTRY as well as agriculture.
