Despite excruciating pain. the farmer

stone.

One of the robbers kno on the bed

unless Tessendorf gave up his secret.
The 10 count began. TesSendorf would
not speak. At the word 10" the gun
man pulled the trigger. The room re-
echoed with the roar of the gun, the
charge tearing harmlessly into the wall
above the woman'S head.
Then TesSendorf told. Under the

serious trouble on the continent, Great
Britain will have the moral support of
the United States and that the Ameri-
can Navy will do nothing to cripple any
British blockade undertaken in the in

Meanwhile the statement published
In the newspapers that Aristide BRAND,
French foreign minister, on returning
to London, intends to propose first
an agreement on building programs and
then IS per cent cut in these pro-
grams all around, obviates the pledge
of confidence which hitherto prevented
the publication of the facts of this
matter,
The truth is that Premier Andre
Tardieu originally came to London with
virtually this plan. H S idea was that
each nation should put on paper it's
building and replacement program and
that then France would propose, not a
IS, but a 40, per cent reduction all
around. Publication of the American
and British memoranda early in the
conference, however, caused him
promptly to abandon his plan and stiff
fen the whole French attitude, be-
cause these memoranda made it ap-
pear-contrary to what the French had
been solemnly told in advance by both
Washington and London-that an
Anglo american agreement already eX-
listed and was being pushed to con-
clusiol without consulting France.

TARIFF DEBATE END|
SEEN FOR SENATE
Leaders Believe Measure
Soon Will Be Disposed of by
Committee of Whole.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The end of the long and rocky road
Of the Hawley-Smoot tariff bill was be-
lieved by Senate Republican leaders to-
day to be just around the corner.
Senator Smoot, veteran Republican
chairman of the finance committee, held
the optimistic opinion that the measure
could be brought to final disposition
tonight or tomorrow, but chieftains of
the coalition forces Of Democrats and
Republican independents, who have been
generally successful in reducing the
rates approved by the House last May,
were inclined to be little doubtful.
Much depended, they said, on the
length of time spent on attempts to
overturn previous votes which denied a
higher sugar tariff and rejected pro-
posals for levies on hides. feathers and
shoes, now on the free list, but made
dutiable in the House measure.
Subject to Final Vote.
Smoot looked for the bin to be re-
ported back to the Senate today from
what is known in parliamentary terms
as committee of the whole" 1t has
been in this status ever since the Sem
ate began consideration of the measure
last September, but all actions thus
taken are subject to a final vote in the
Senate proper
Night sessions, begun last week as a
means of expediting action, resulted in
an 11-hour day for the tariff-weary
Senators yesterday. Recess at 10 pm,
however, ended day marked by ac-
complshment as well as length, includ-
ing the approval of z cents a pound
tariff on long staple cotton, now on the
free list, and duty of 10 per cent
ad valorem on turpentine and rosin,
also non-dutiable in the present law.
AS the final vote neared speculation
as to how the ballots would be cast
increased. Many Republican regulars.
1t was felt would be found voting for
the measure against their personal
wishes because of the coalitions sue
cess in eliminating scores of House in
gcreaseS in rates, cutting down dozens
of others and reducing in many in
stances especially in the metals sched-
ule-rateS in the existing law. These
Republicans, however, feel that they
stand good chance of having many of
the rates restored in conference with
the House and for that reason will vote
AYE" when Vice President Curtis calls
the final roll
The coalition has made many i'm
portant changes in the administrative
sections which are now extremely dis
tasteful to the regular Republicans.
