WARE CONTEST, TARIFF ISSUE

Trouble Confronts Admin istration Leaders Through
 Resolution on Ware
SENATORIAL CASE
 TAKES PRECEDENCE
Tariff Bill Is Sidetracked for Time Being-Gov-
 ernment Problem

WASHINGTON, Sept. II. - The long standing question of seating William s. Ware, Senator from Pennsylvania, has been shunted to one side and replaced by the tariff question as the official subject of the Senate debate.
 Anxious that consideration of tariff be delayed no longer than necessary, Administration leaders are trying to postpone the Ware issue which was brought up by Senator Norris with the introduc- tion of a resolution barring the Philadelphian from the Senate.
 The measure took the automatic precedence over all other business.
 Pending, was a motion by Sen ator Watson, majority leader which was under consideration, which was that the Ware case be delayed until after the Senate meets in regular session in December.
 In event of defeat, Administra- tion heads hoped to obtain an agreement postponing the Norris resolution until next week so that in the interim the Senate Elec- tions Committee can report on the contest of William B. Wilson, Vare's Democratic opponent in the 1926 election.
 Meanwhile the leaders are study ing the possibility of the Simmons resolution, adopted yesterday, which allowed the Finance Committee to obtain from the Treasury income tax information regarding profits and losses, wages, production costs and related data on American manufacturers for use in consid- eration of the tariff bill.

Adventurer Claims While in California Prison, For
 tune Was Taken Away

NEW YORK, Sept. II. Count Albert Sichofsky, Polish adventurer has obtained a writ of habeas corpus returnable September IT, in an effort to get release from Ellis Island where he is being held for deportation, so he can go back to California and prosecute claims of more than $200,000 which he charges was deprived him while under investigation and in prison there for the last nine years while serving sentence for embezzlement.
 The Count made the sensational charges against the District At- torneys and Sheriff's offices in Los Angeles and against one whom he described as MT. Cannon, warden of Folsom Prison"
 The Count is described by his at torneys as an internationally known gambler. It is alleged plot was made to kill Sichofsky in Folsom prison for his money. This was related in Sacramento, California, by James J. Smith, former warden of Folsom who said prison em- ployee attempted to get the Count to sign a will in his favor which plan, Smith said, he frustrated, being advised in advance by an anonymous letter left on his desk.
 According to advices received here from the District Attorneys office in Los Angeles, a compre- hensive check of their records show little grounds for the assertions of the Count that his fortune has disappeared without his knowledge.

FRANCE now IN
SCHOONER ROW
Seaman Drowned Identified
By Consul AS Citizen
OF France

WASHINGTON, March 28.-tP3-
France, as well as Great Britain,
and Canada, is now interested in
the sinking of the Canadian schoon-
er I'm Alone by an American pa
troll boat in the gulf of Mexico
This complication has been added
to the case by a report from the
French consul at New Orleans that
the seaman drowned when the al
legged rum runner went down was
a French citizen. He had been de-
scribed previously as a naturalized
British subject.
The French embassy immediate
ly cabled this information to the
foreign office at Paris, and is ex-
pected to await instructions before
taking up the matter formally with
the state department.
Unlike the British and Canadian
diplomatic representatives, who are
concerned with the broad principles
involved in the sinking Of the YES
sci and interpretations of the 1924
rum smuggling treaty, the French
embaSSy's interest has to do chiefly
with the death of one of it's ma
tons citizens.
The French consul, however. may
be called upon by the state depart
ment and the Canadian legation to
contribute such information as he
may have about the distance of the
I'm Alone from the Louisiana coast
when first summoned to heave to
for boarding and examination by
the coast guard patrol boat VOL

orders later in the season, he said.
The estimate of the total is based
on the rapid increase in shipments
of Valley grapefruit across the
ocean, especially during the past
season, when. Mr.. Vidal moved. sew
eral carloads of fruit to England.
There has been a remarkable in
crease in consumption Of grapefruit
in England and Europe in the past
year or two" Mr.. Vidal said. There
also has been a marked tendency to-
ward Valley grapefruit. and I have
received comments on the. fruit
which we moved to England from
scores of persons who handled and
purchased 1t.
Figures Shown
with better boating and icing
facilities we expect to move citrus
fruit across the ocean in large guam
titles next season, and to increase
from year to year"
Mr.. Vidal said he has signed a
contract for the delivery of $4,000
boxes of grapefruit monthly through
out the Valleys shipping season in
1929-30. He may increase the or
ders, he said.
MI. Vidal showed some figures on
importations of grapefruit to Eng
land taken from a report OF. Pro-
fessor H. Clark Powell. and appear
ing in the West India Committee
Circular.
These figures show that the i'm
portations of citrus into the United
Kingdom increased from 34,318
boxes in 1921, to 606, 468 boxes in
1927. OF the latter total. 501,314
boxes same from the United States,
most of this being shipped from
Florida.
Cost Less
The same article showed estimates
of cost of producing citrus in British
Honduras and moving it to England.
the cost being approximately 1912
a box. Mr.. Vidal expresses the be-
lief that the Valley can produce
fruit and get it to England at less
expense than British Honduras, and
said the fruit is better.
The article also contained figures
on acreages in the states Of Texas
which are producing fruit, showing
that Of CALIFORNIA; 11.118 acres,
49.2 per cent is non bearing; Ari-

8O,037 acres, of which 24.3 per cent
IS non bearing: and Texas has more
than $4,000 acres. of which So per
cent is non bearing.
These figures show that only four
per cent of the citrus trees in the
Valley are bearing, and that a ire
mendous increase in production
may be expected within a very short
time" Mr.. Vidal said.
Ship Point Isabel
MI. Vidal said that this company.
which has offices at Houston and
here, has handled fruit through
Houston this year, but that the plan
is to move fruit next season through
Point Isabel, in case arrangements
can be completed to get boats in to
the landing.
For a time this season efforts were
being made to load a boat Of citrus
at Point Isabel, but the rough
weather at the time prevented it.
With improved facilities for
handling the fruit, especially with
the icing facilities. the Valley will
start moving citrus across the ocean
in larger quantities than residents of
this section dream at the present
time, Mr.. Vidal said.
