NATE TO REMOVE HOOVER TARIFF MAKING POWER TODAY
CHANGE IN FARM
AID LAWS IS I
THREAT Z

Charging the Federal Farm
Board with having failed to
use the $500, 900, 200 farm re-
lief law to better 1929 crop
prices, Senate farm bloc mem
bers today threatened not only
to wage fight over confirma-
ton of some board members
but to raise the entire farm
relief issue all over again in
the present session.
Radical amendments to the law
and an increase in the authorized
appropriation for farm relief from
$500 100000 to a billion dollars may
be proposed as result Of the
inquiry.
Members Of the board. however.
are standing by their guns. United
on all ma ior questions. the board
takes the position that it ~ putting
the 100000 relief law into
operation as rapidly az possible
and is building permanent
foundation which will raise the
farming industry out of its de-
preston
Demands have been served upon
the board by both wheat and cot
ton senators TO use large part of
the $15O.00O. 900 now at its dis
posal In taking the surplus off the
market. thus stabilizing and rails
ing prices.
Chief criticism of the board thus
far has been delay in organizing
corpora lions, which, under the law,
would buy and hold a large part of
the major crops for better prices.
The boards defense is that farm
ers' cooperative Orga nizatiors have
not thus far requested the board
to take this action, and are not
strong enough to control the mar
ket.
The board also il being attacked
for it's policy of requiring farmers
and farm organizations to exhaust
their credit with Federal Intermedi-
ate Credit ba nks and other agencies
at a rate of interest of 51a per cent
or more instead Of loaning part OF
the $500 200, 900 at rate of 3Ss per

RACE COP

HAVRE DE GRACE, Oct. 2.
Six of the best-trained men of
the Pinkerton agency, aided
by county and State police to-
day sought as the murderer of
A. A. Morrison, Pinkerton de-
tectiye, man who had been
ruled from the race track here
Monday and who a few min
utes before the shooting had
been ordered from drug
store here by Morrison be-
cause of drunkenness.
Ordered From Store
Just a few minutes before, Nor.
rison had ordered the man believed
to be the murderer from Green's
drug store. where he was making
a disturbance. AS the shots were
fired, the detective staggered back
ward and fell to the street under
an arc light. On his way to the
hospital, the detective gained con.
seriousness long enough to murmur:
Drunk, drunk. drunk
He died five minutes after tho
shooting.
An autopsy was conducted yes
terday and the bullet that caused
the detectives death was of .32
caliber. The pistol used by the
murderer found in a cIump of
bushes where it had been thrown,
was discovered shortly after the
shooting.
The suspect, said to be race
track tout. was reported to have
been denied admission to the traca
by Morrison Monday and It is be.
lieved that bitter feeling over this
incident prompted the shooting.

VOTE
! MARGIN
.|SSEEN
BY VIM. K. HUTCHINSON
Interna tionaI News Service

N>c
With President Hoov T
facing defeat ON the first
specific legislative recommen-
dalton of his Administration,
the Senate today prepared to
strip the Chief Executive of
his dictatorial emery eney
powers over the tariff.
A Democra tic.Insurgent coalition
swelled by IA Republicans stood
ready to wipe out the 7-year'oio
provision by which Presidents can
proclaim emergency changes In
tariff duties. In the same motion
the coalition will restore this emcr-
gency power to Congress, with the
President retaining only his con-
stitutional power of veto.
Three Vote Margin
The Administration forces. virtn-
ally conceding defeat, were de-
than to accept a last minute COM
promise. A number Of the staiWart
Republicans served notice upon
their leaders that even If com
promise were affected, they would
vote against it-because of their be-
lief in the efficacy Of the present
law and in President Hooyer's fair
administration of that law.
A. final poll by international News
Service indicated a vote of 40 to
As against the President, IL all
Senators voted. This three-vote
margin may be increased during
the day, as Democratic leaders
were making urgent efforts to re
gain the support of that handful Of
Democrats favoring the present law.
The final outcome. aside from
defeat for the Presidents recon-
mendation that the present flexible
law be retained, was clouded with
doubt. The first test vote was to
come upon the Simmons-Norris
substitute, under which the Tariff
Commission would be authorized to
recommend specific emergency
changes in tariff duties, whic!,
would be sent to the President for
his approval or disapproval but
to Congress for adoption.
Goes To Both Houses
The tariff changes then would be
made effective by adoption of a
joint resolution by both branches
of Congress. If either branch dis
approved the change. it would be
abandoned. Another provision would
prohibit the inclusion of new items
in this resolution, so that Congress
would pass solely upon the item
suggested by the commission.
This would eliminate entirely The
Presidents present power to pro
claim specific changes in the tariff,
solely on the commissions recon-,
mendation Under existing law, two
MISUNDERSTANDING and Coolidge
made approximately so changes in
rates, ignoring number of other
recommendations by the commits
sion. Mr.. Hoover proclaimed three
new rates last March.
The adoption of the simmons
Norris plan will be but one step
in the flexible war. After that, an
effort undoubtedly will be made to
place a time limit on Congressional
consideration of the commissions
recommendations Senator Nye (Rl
of North Dakota. has proposed that
a 90-day limit be incorporated in
the provision. with the commission
given power to proclaim it's own
rate should Congress fail to act.
