The two other copies she secreted

laying them between new sheets of
carbon paper in their box. Then
with her notebook in hand and her
brown eyes round and demure, she
went to take her seat beside John
Curtis Morgan at his desk.

NEVADAN STAGES FIGHT
ON FLOOR OF SENATE
FOR MANGANESE DUTY
Nevada Senator, Refusing to Limit Debate,
Asks For Tax Varying With Metallic
Manganese Content of Ores; Declares
Bethlehem Steel BOycots U. S. Producers

WASHINGTON, Nov 6, CPD Two
Democratic attempts to limit debate
in the senate on committee amend
mentS to metals schedules OF the
tariff bill, the same procedure as
in effect yesterday and today, met
with objections by Senator Oddle,
of Nevada, and other who argued
against the proposed transfer OF
manganese to the free list.
Serving notice of objections TO
limiting debate Oddie said he in
tended to speak at length on man
ganese tomorrow.
In the first dispute over major in
dustrial tariff earlier in the day,
the administration group bowed to
an overwhelming majority OF demo-
Gratis and western republicans who
succeeded by 48 to 80 in reducing
the pig iron duty from its present
rate of Sl.1212 to 75c per ton. The
finance committee proposed an in
crease to Bethlehem and United
States Steel who asked that ore
be placed on the free list, they are
obtaining supplies from Russia and
Brazil
Senator Oddie asked for a duty
varying with metallic manganese in
the ore. The present duty Is one
cent on ore containing over ten per
cent metallic manganese.
Oddie declared that Bethlehem
Steel was boycotting American
manganese producers in favor Of
foreign imports, and paying more
for the foreign product.

Crash Damages
Woodard Car

Sure, he'll have to pay for the
damages"
That's the opinion of officers
concerning the auto SmaShup which
occurred yesterday just before noon
when E. Jacobson drove the Hud-
son coach of his friend Jack Larry
into the rear end of one of J.
Warren Woodlands Chevrolet cars.
The damage was estimated by
Woodard at around $75.
Woodard was going south on
Fourth, and was crossing the in
terSection Of Carson when Jacob
sen came east on Carson at rapid
rate, according to Woodard, and,
the brakes being applied about fif-
teen feet away, slid into the rear
of the car which Woodard was
driving for a demonstration.
The impact pushed the Chevro-
ct clear around, almost upsetting
it, and smashing both rear wheels
and one fender. The frame of the
Hudson car, which bore an Ari-
zona license. was sprung slightly,
and the bumpers broken.
Woodard's head was rammed
through the windshield, and his
forehead badly gashed. Otherwise
there were no injuries.
Woodard's car was a Chevrolet
landau, 1929 model, almost new,
and he was planning to sell it.
