COALITION OBTAINS
 TARIFF CONTROL
Democrats and Independents to
 Take Bill Over

Washington, Nov LPS-The sen ate's democratic-indep ependcnt repubr lican coalition today was given a free hand with the tariff bill by ad- ministration leaders as last hope Of reaching a final vote on the measure without cncroaching ma terially upon the time of the regu lar session, to convene four weeks hence.
 Facing a task of admitted diff cultv, coalition leaders neverth eless were confident that this objective woud be attained and that the re- suit of the new arrangement would be. in the words of Harrison of Mississippi a democrat. "a better biIlr than that passed by the house and "a far better bill' than that recommended by the senate finance committee.
 The leaders of the administration group. which has been defeated re- peatedly by the coalition, reached a decision to let the alliance have its way with the bill after many ct- forts to expedite action had failed and President Hoover had called for enactment of the measure be- fore the close of the special scs- sion. They are hopeful not only of obtaining an carly result. but also that provisions which they might consider objectionable, may be eliminated in the necessary con- ferences with representatives of the house.
 Harrison Comments In commenting on the new ar rangement, Harrison said that with those who framed the bill having run up the white flag. it ought to be easier for those of us who are opposed to many features of the bill to present and press to early com pletion our suggestions for rcvi- sion"
 The democrats. he said. are at tempting to work out in conferences among themselves plans which will avoid unnecessary debate and has, ten final vote.

Admits Some Mistakes

Mir, President, whatever mistakes Of judgment l may have made, however indisCreet or OVcr- zealOus l may have been, the fact remains that whatever I did was done in an effort to secure the most complete information regarding the needs Of those whose present conditions and whose immediate prospects brought them within the bounds Of tho message to congress as being in need Of tho results of tariff royi- sion.
 No state in the union is more de- pendent on adequate tariff protcc- ton than the state of Connecticut. The facts in regard to the textile in dustries in Connecticut are true also in many other states. So are 1hc facts in regard 10 many other indus tries. My sole object, my sole pur- pose in placing Mir. Eyanson on the official rolls Of the senate was so that l might be the better prcpar- cd to present the case Of my consti- uents in Connecticut, both employ 'i3 d''h 'iIiplOS'S. bOl1l p1Ol uttlS and consumers; that I might be the better prepared to meet in commit tee and on the floor of the senate the arguments of those who are op- posed to q high protective tariff and who arc inclined to disbelioyo tho stories of unemployment in certain industries and the threat of uncm- ployment in other industries.
 Claims No Fault
 'Alr. President, this was my mo- tive, this was my sole object. In carrying it out not q dollar Of the public funds was used. No misrcp- resentation regarding unemploy- ment. no distortion of the fact re- Garding our industries was practic- ed. Nothing dishonorablc or disre- putable was attempted. Nothing was done contrary to good morals or to senatorial ethics. My judgment in the way in which I endeavored to use this tariff expert may have been at fault. On the other hand my motives in doing so were based on my Whoie-heartcd zeal for d proteC- tive tariff and my whole hearted de- sire adequately to represent the in torests of the state of Connecticut to promote the prosperity of the United States

With paSSenger-laden tri-m0tOrci

the United States. few people know
that "a local man built and placed
In flight here planes shortly after
the Wright brothers made their
first successful heavier-than-air
machine.
The man Is r. "A. Newman who
now owns a machine shop az
Eighth and St. Charles streets.
The flights were made in 1900

world by flying from Etamps To
Orleans. % miles. Later in the
same year he again astounded the
world by flying the English chan
mel. AT this time experiments were
being made by Wright, Vosin and
Farman. names now famous in the
annals Of aviation.
Newman'S operations here were
hampered by lack of funds but he
succeeded in making three success
full flights in planes of his own
making. His power driven machines
neve got off the ground for more
than lou yards or SO. but he made
three long flights towed BY auto
mobiles.
Disaster and misfortune followed
NewmanS attempts and prevented
him from becoming a figure in the
pioneering Of aviation. Later de-
velopments have proved. however.
that ne had correct ideas and his
planes OF that day more nearly cor
respond to present day planes than
did those Of the Wright brothers.
Publicity Stunt
Newman was brought here In 1909
by the chamber of commerce after
he had made a short flight in San
Antonio in his first plane. He was
to build and fly a plane al a pub
licity stunt. The land sale in the
Valley had just begun then.
Newman has been Of a scientific
and mechanical turn Of mind since
boyhOod. He had watched the
progress OF experiments In aviation
closely and felt convinced that q
heavier-than-air machine was
practical The local man made n
careful study of aerodynamics and
planned a flying machine.
Friends hooted and scoffed al the
idea and derisively quoted "Durias

ments he began building a machine
in San Antonio In 1908. Newman
was then In charge Of the machine

II was powered by an B-cylindeI
Curtiss engine OF 40 horsepower.
The plane was taken To the Mes
quita station near Iona Alta and
tied down. When the trial flight
wa off just "a couple OF days. q
heavy wind blew LID over the coast
and utterly demolished the plane.
Newman was dlsheartened but be-
gan building another plane.
III was constructed for "a g.
horsepower rotary motor. Later IN
was found that Tie could not get
delivery on the type OK motor he
had planned for. This plane made
three long flights on the open
land just south OF Elizabeth street
near where 1t joins the highway.
There were no roads or homes III
that section then. These flights
we're made behind cars as the one
In San Antonio.
Good Stability
The plane had remarkable sta
bility. Newman states, and lie had
IL well under control while III was
in tho air. The 40-hOrsepower mo-
tor was installed III III but did not
have sufficient pull To take the
craft off the ground for long dis
tanceS. Numerous short hops OF
"a hundred yards or ID were made.
Newman believes this machine
would have flown had he been able
TO obtain a 63-horSepower motor.
He later built "A monoplane and
tried to fly it at Iona Alta but ii
was found that this model did not
have sufficient tail clearance.
The local man then gave I'D his
experiments for the lack Of funds.
He has watched the development 1f
aviation since. however. and has
many Of his ideas proved cor
rect.
Most Of his attempted flights
were made on the spur OF the mo-
ment and he never received the full
benefit Of the publicity that should
have been his.
He feels certain that if III had not
been for the lack OF funds. unfore-
seen mishapS. and failure to obtain
the motor he wanted. nc would
have been successful I'm his at
