MARK
TARIFF: IS
To PASS

The highest protective tariff
bill in American history, hailed
by its friends as a guarantee of
prosperity and assailed by its foes
as adding $4,000, 900, 900 to the
cost of living, awaited a final
vote in the Senate today while
opposing leaders delivered stump
speeches with an eye on the COM
ing Congressional campaigns.
Pledged by President Hoover in
his 1928 campaign and subjected
to bitter partisan warfare in Con-
gress for one whole year, the bill
has yet to pass conference be-
tween the House and Senate.
Administration leaders antici-
pated it would not be put upon
the statute books before May /.
Check on Future Changes
AS finally completed by the
Senate, the bill provides the high
est tariff ever given agricultural
products, raises industrial duties
generously and authorizes nui
merouS Administrative changes,
the greatest Of which is to elm
mate wholesale tariff reviSions in
the future by arranging a sys-
tenn by which the President and
tie United States Tariff Commits
sion will recommend Singleton
changes. If the plan is perfected,
Congress win have to pass a sep
arate bill for each rate change.
The bill, aside from it's rates
and duties, carries the old farm
relief debenturt plan into con.
ference. This proposal would
utilize tariff revenues from farm
products for financing the mar.
keting Of surplus crops. It prob
ably will be eliminated in con-
ference but not without another
struggle in the Senate. The bill
also carries a repeal Of the Presi-

DOHENY JURORS
IRE HEFL|N

Launching an attack on Dis
trict trial juries, Senator Thomas
j. Heflin, Of Alabama, today de-
manded that jurors who acquitted
Edward l.. Doheny on Saturday
be barred from ever sitting in an
other trial.
The Alabaman termed the trial
of the oil magnate on a bribary
charge a "farcial performance"
and limited that the millions OF
Doheny had influenced the jury'S
action.
The attack by Heflin recalled
former onslaughtSs on the jury
system of the District which fol-
lowed other cases arising out of
the oil scandal and even resulted
in the introduction Of a bill which
would have transferred such
trials to the Jurisdiction of Mary
land juries.
Calls 1t "FarcicaI'
'I want to call attention to
the farcical performance of a
jury in this city last week in ac-
quitting Doheny," said the Ala
baman, as he started his diatribe.

Unless some definite progress
can be made at the London naval
conference within the next week
or so it is quite probable the
American delegates will come
home.
This was plainly irtimated
here today following conference
between President Hoover and
Acting Secretary of State Joseph
P. Cotton, at which the situation
in London was thoroughly can
vassed on the basis of the latest
reports from Col. Henry L. Stim-
son, who heads the delegation.
These reports are understood to
be very peSSimiStic.
After the conference, Cotton
said. in reply to questions:
Reports from London make it
perfectly obvious that the next
week or two will determine what
they will do. I have no other
comment to make"
In oCher WordS, 1t is evidently
not the intention of the admins
trtaion to keep the American dele
cation cooling its heels in Lon
don, idly discussing abstract mat
ters while the French delegates
spend their time in Paris, unwil-
ling even to remain in London
and negotiate.
The fact is now recognized here
that the French, for all practical
purposes, have walked out Of the

BALM IS
SOUGHT

Mrs. Virdie Bierley, attractive
37-year-old brunette, who took poi
son yesterday because of the COM
plications in a love triangle of
which she is the center, will re-
cover, physicians at Garfield Hos
pital said today.
The other members of the tri-
angle are her husband, Herman
Bierley, and Charles w. King, CO.
year-old real estate man and mem
Der of the present Grand Jury.
King is being sued for $3.50, 900 by
Bierley, who alleges alienation of
affections.
Mrs. Bierley took poison in her
apartment in the 1900 block Og-
den st. N. W.. at 3 a. M. Sunday,
according to police, following a
quarrel with King.
Followed Argument
MIS-. Bierley and King had
Just returned from spending the
evening with some relatives of
Mrs. Bierley. An argument fol
lowed in which Mrs. Bierley is
said to have told King that she
was through with him" and
wanted to go back to her huS-
band.
When King demonstrated with
her, she went into the bathroom,
dissolved two poison tablets in
water and drained the glass, &C.
cording to police.
She came out into the living
room and told King what she
had done. The latter reused
Buddy, the woman'S 12-year-old
son, the only other person in the
house at the time, and they
called police who rushed the un-
conscious woman to Garfield
Hospital.
Physicians worked over her
some time before reviving her.
When she came to she told them,
I'm sorry I did it. I want to
live. took the poison because
I was nervous and worried. I
wanted to go back to my huS-
band but Mr.. King did not want
me to-"
Recovery in Doubt
The fact that she took the
poison in solution instead of
swallowing the tablets increases
her chance of recovery, her
physician said. It is not possible
to say at this time whether or
not she will recover but hospital
authorities say she has an even
chance.
King and Mrs. Bierley, police
say, had been arguing over
Thelma Bierley. her 17-year-old
daughter. Police say King had
told Mrs. Bierley the girl could
not stay at the Ogden Street
home when she returned from
visiting friends in Richmond.
Mrs. Bierley is said to have in.
sisted that she could. King is
reported to own the apartment
house in which Mrs. Bierley lives.
Mrs. Bierley has known King
for number of years, but has
been on intimate terms with him
only for the last two years, she
told police.
Bierley is a motion picture
operator and has been living
apart from his wife for three |
months.

Special Dispatch TO Inc SVaI'
NEW YORK, March 29.-Closing the
week with burst of speculative buying
reminiscent of the exciting days OF last
Summer. today's stock market as
whole went into new high ground, with
all the familiar indications OF wide
spread public interest.
The railroad shares assumed the
leadership at the start. Traders nave
long been arguing that there could not
be a real bull market without an ad-
vance in railroad stocks commensurate
with that in industrials and utilities.
Car loadings and income statements
however, have been so discouraging mat
the rails have been held back, and from
a statistical standpoint their hesitation
has been logical.
New Highs Scored.
The market today, however, acted
as if railroad prosperity were assured:
New highs for the year were scattered
literally over the list and they IN
Guided not only the seasoned dividend
payers, but the low-priced purely spec
ulatiye stocks. Naturally, the demon
stration revived merger rumors. THESE
were believed to be responsible Tor the
5-point Jump in Chicago Great Western
preferred on the first sale today. sim
ilarly the new peak prices at Whlcn
such stocks as Western Maryland ana
Western Pacific changed hands resulted
from this fresh interest in the con-
solidation situation.
The advance in the high-grade rail-
road stocks was perhaps readJuStment
of ideas as to their investment worth.
1t took Pennsylvania and Union PACING
to the best of the year, brought New
York Central Atchlson, Kansas City
Southern and New Haven into the list
and eventually broadened out to include
nearly all the important carrier issues.
Next to the rails the utilities were
the most prominent and here American
Telephone g. Telegraph was the center
of attention. For the first time in 1880
the stock sold above $3.50 a share, re-
spending to the report that the ex-
pected rights to be given to stockhold-
erS to subscribe to additional shares
would be in the ratio of one for seven

General Electric was another star per-
former, selling above IS, at new high

NEW YORK, March 90 (SpeciaD -
An extremely steady cotton market
prevailed today, with a slow improve
ment that ended around best figures
of the session.
May changed hands in closing deal

of high records of the week. There
was very little pressure and an inSistent
demand throughout the session. Spots
were advanced 10 points to 1910.

The weekly trade reviews were mildly
optimistic, but the improvement noted
was not uniform or emphatic. Perhaps
as interesting a development as any was
the drop in crude oil production and
the increase in gasoline consumption.
