NEW YORK REFUSES
 TO GIVE UP SAUL
Magistrate Declines to Return Sharper to
 This City

Returning from New York last night without Peter Saul of Everett, Mass. for whom he had obtained cNtradition papers, Sergeant Patrick A. McAvay reported to Chief Hart that Magistrate Well of first district court of New York refused to turn the alleged swindler over to him.
 Saul according to the sergeant, expressed an enthusiastic willingness to return to this city, and promised that he would return to Miss Mae NJ. Booth of Cedar street, the stocks. bonds and cash which he is alleged to have taken from her few months ago in deal in the market made on his advice. He assured the sergeant that he had no intention of dcfrauding the local woman.
 Magistrate Veil, however. set Saul's case down for q hearing on March c6 and in the meantime an investigation will be made to as- certain whether or not he is wanted in Schenectady, N. Y. Sergeant Me Away said he was certain that only Saul's partner, John w. Sinclair, was wanted in Schenectady but as Saufs name was on certain papers in con- nection with the case, the magistrate would not release him at this time for trial in this city.
 In the opinion of the New York police, the New Britain case against Saul is stronger than the Boston case and for that reason they were in favor of turning him over to Ser geant McAvay but the magistrate interfered, and nothing remains for the local police to do but to wait until March 26.

Members Hope to Final ly Dispose of Measure Before Adjourning To- night = Observers Be- lieve Hoover Will Sign Act In Present Form.
Hides, Leather and Shoes Still on Free List, While Oil Question Still May Cause Argument-House High Rates Suffer in Coalitions Victories.

Washington, March 22 Gp-The Hawley-Smoot tariff bill, carrying the highest protection in history fer agriculture. increased sugar rates, and a general revision Of nearly the whole tariff structure, neared final vote today in the senate.
 Only a few more amendments aaI batch of explanatory speeches were ahead as the worn-out senators as- sembled for what leaders hoped would be the last day of almost seven months of debate. Passage os the bill, which would send it to con- ference for adjustment of the mani fold differences between the senate and house, is certain.
 It is a measure which President Hoover initiated upon his induction into office with a plea for a ''limite1 revision" with special attention Q helping the farmers. The senate has added two provisions over the eN- pressed opposition of the president the export debenture and substitute ' policy. which gives the chief execu- tive power to change rates on recommendation of the tariff com mission.
 HoovcrS Stand Uncertain
 Whether the many changes mace in rates by both the senate ani house meet with Mir Hoover's aps proval has not been disclosed, bI@ republican chieftains believe that Hf the two administrative features ad- ded by the senate are removed the president will sign the bill. The senate has revised downward a great number of the house leviee, but the coalition of democrats an republican independents which had pared down most of the rates except those on agriculture failed to hold its ground in the closing days of the long struggle.
 A new coalition Of republican. reg ulars and democrats regained sonto of the lost ground. but the rate structure of the senate measure Is still below the high protective scale voted by the house.
 Besides boosting farm rates to the highest level ever before known, the senate bill coincides with the house measure in another important par ticular in that it carries virtually the same increases on raw clothing wool and particularly every woolen i,,- in the land.
 Raven Protected
 The rayon schedule also contains much higher protection for this growing industry, while the cotton and silk textile rates remain about
