Harrisburg Police Doubt His
 Tale Of Suicide Pact

Harrisburg. Pa, Jan. 50 R-A perfume salesman's story of his sur vival of. suicide pact in which 1, woman was drowned was under scrutiny today.
 Floating ice and low temperatures hampered efforts to retrieve the body of Miss Verna Klink, 50, from the Susquehanna river. and the po- lice contemplated making a formal charge of murder against Harry Bowman, 39.
 Bowman said that by agreement he and Miss Klink had jumped into the river; that tho woman was drowned. but that the icy water had brought him to his senses and he had climbed to safety.
 The salesman was arrested with Miss Ethel Miller. 30. She was ac- cused of carrying concealed weap- ons.
 He admitted having obtained $i,o25 from Miss klink. part of the s1.7oO for which Mrs. Alma Esheim, mother of Miss klink, mortgaged her home to finance her daughter in candy business.
 Bowman. who is married. claim ed Miss klink gave him the $1,025. Police said they believed he robbed her. When arrested with Bowman, Miss Miller had $500 in the lining of her coat and authorities declared that jewelry purchased for her by Bowman accounted for an addition al $50. Bowman had $l50 in his possession when arrested.
 The relations of Bowman and Miss Klink puzzled the police. Bow man maintained that he was assist ing her in the purchase of the store. He declared that Miss Kinks Ges- pondency over tho failure to con- plete the purchase of the business was tho reason for her suicide.

New York Now Has
 Adult Play Street

New York. Jan. 80 Pl-A play street, for grownups was opened in the congestcd garment section today.
 The outpouring each noon of the thousands of workers employed by the garment houses has long been a police problem, sidewalks and streets between the hours of noon and 1 D. m. becoming virtually impossible.
 Police Commissioner Whalen part " solved the problem last week when he made Seventh avenue, be- tween 3oth and 3Sth streets, a one. way thoroughfare for pedestrians, but found the workers then had no place to go. As result he has cr- dcred that 3Gth street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues, be closed to traffic during the hour.

The board of health was criticized | by Councilman w. S Warner last night for failing to sand d represen- tative to the meeting of the salary committee of the common council to explain the recommendation for set ting the salary of the office of milk, meat and food inspector at $4000 per year.
 Here are five members of the committee giri~g up an evening 10 come here and act on this matter" the councilman said. ''and l think someone should be on hand from the health board" Councilman C.. H. MaXon, chairman, said Dr. R. w. Pullen. superintendent of health. had speaking engagement ant Chairman McBriarty was prevented by business from attending.
 Councilman Warner moved to table the recommendation until such time as the health board ex- plains it to the committee anl Councilman Parker seconded the motion. which was carried.
 l DuIlIlS tHe ulSCuSSloil, SOuilClIIldil Ziegler expressed doubt that one man could attend to the two posi- tions which it is proposed to com- bine, and Councilman Warner want cd to know how the position of meat inspector which has for some time been a full time office, could be attended to by man who would also be obliged to attend to the du- ties of milk inspector. part time. These matters and the fact that a t4O0O salary would be only $500 less than is paid the superintendent of the department did not set we'll with the committee.

PRINCE AWED BY
 WOE Of MINERS
Wales Risks His Helh on Tour
 of Coal Fields

London. Jan. 3O.-lN-Brough face to face with scenes of human sorrow and suffering. such as he had never encountered before. the Prince of Wales sometimes has had difficult ty nding words to express his sym pathy in his tour of the northern coal fields.
 The fact that everywhere 1t was apparent that the sufferers had gen. orally known better days and that the present distress was due to loss of work greatly touched the prince.
 This was illustrated by an incident at Winlaton where he was visiting the cottage of miner who had been without work for three years. The prince seemed awestruck by the baroness of the rooms and evil dences of extreme poverty. You must find it very difficult to live" he said to the miners wife. She. de- scribing the visit afterward. said:
 "He didn't seem able to say much. He just looked around and his voice sounded broken like"
 The Daily Express said today that the prince was risking his health in, his tour. since he was suffering from heavy cold and confessed to a friend who aroused him in the early morning that he felt like death." He was advised to stay in bed, but insisted on starting on his tour although the snow was thick on the ground and the day was raw and foggy. He had a cheerful word for everybody. the paper said. although it must have been an effort for him to muster up his own spirits"
 At Pelton Lane, Robert Smith. a superannuated miner of Si. smack ed the prince on the back and said. How are you old man?"
 The prince readily replied: I'm all right, how are you my boy?" and he returned the smack. A Mrs. Capp at Newficld gravely entered into the details of the week ly washday and showed the heir to the throne various intimate garments she had been washing and ironing. Another woman dilated on the vir- tues of her pig.
 Learning on one street that Mrs. Cameron had just given birth to her eighth baby. the prince said he would like to see the infant. which l instantly raised his stock one hum dred per cent with the women who were standing around. After hearing with blushing pride, the princess hearty assertion that it was bonny baby. the mother said: If you'll excuse me sir. you look so young and just like your pictures" The whole mining district was agog and everywhere the prince went he was followed by crowds.

HOOVER FINDS
GOING ROUGH
President Looks to House
And Senate to Check
Each Others Program
BIZ JAMES l.. WEST
Associated Press tSaff Writer

: WASHINGTON. May l0.-Ey-
President Hoover's legislative pro-
gram has had rough going in the
preliminary stages OF its develop
ment on Capitol Hill. but admins
tration officers assert they are fSr
from discouraged.
1t would appear the chief execu-
tive must turn TO the house for the
undoing OF senate action in approx
ing the export debenture proposal
as q measure Of farm relief, and
he must look to the senate for sup
port of his idea Of a limited" tariff
revision.
This condition is not at all un-
usual. But 1t has attracted more
than ordinary notice. Two factors
entered into this. the first that the
the actions OF the senate and Of
the house tariff committee followed
so colsely upon one another. and
the second that they furnished first
barometric indications as 70 the
state or the atmosphere between the
capitol and the White House.
While the president has refra!ned
from any public statement regard
ing the tariff bill, he has let some
OF his friends know he has quite diff
| ferent ideas as TO what constitutes
a limited" revision OF the Fordney-
McCumber act.
There also is gossip in some off,
cial circles that a number Of the
revisions proposed by the ways and
means committee republicans fail TO
find favor with him. just as they
do in some congressional circles, re-
publican as well as democratic.
Since the republican leadership In
the house Is fairly well committed
to the committee measure, admins
tration officials expect comparative
~ few broad changes in that cham
Der. They also appreciate that the
majority leaders in attempting any
general rewriting might find them
selves facing a situation in the
house that easily could get beyond
their control.
Pending final house action, SEN
ate leaders are unprepared to pre-
diet their course on the tariff meas
ure, but some OF them. including
the majority floor director. Watson
OF Indiana, voice regret that the
house committee brought out a sub
stitute for the present law as that
throws the whole tariff question
open to debate and action.
Administration officers confident
ly expect the house TO eliminate the
export debenture plan from the
farm bill In conference. and house
leaders look for little difficulty in
this connection as even some or
those senate republicans VINO voice
for the debenture are convinced
President Hoover would return the
agricultural measure without his ap-

present form.
