TARIFF MEASURE
PASSES SENATE:
VOTE IS So TO 81
Hawley-SmOOt Bill, Which Since
September 4, Last, Has Been
Bitterly Debated
NOW GOES TO HOUSE
Biggest Stumbling Block To Final
Agreement Expected To Com
prise Export Departure Plan.

The Hawley-Smoot tariff bill was
passed by the Senate on Monday by
a vote of 90 to 81 and now goes to
conference with the House for ad-
justment of hundreds of differences
between the two Congressional
branches.
The measure, as it won the SEN
ate's final approval after an eleventh
hour arraignment from half a dozen
Democrats and Republican inde-
pendents, carried total of 1858
amendments to the House text ap-
proved at the other end of the Cap
itol last May 2S. 1t had been before
the Senate since September 4.
A general revision upward of farm
duties, including that on sugar, and
scores of increases and reductions
in the industrial rate groups were
provided in the complex document
1t received the support on the final
roll call of 46 Republicans and Z
Democrats. Twenty-six Democrats
and five Republicans voted against
it. Hasting and Townsend, of Della
ware, voted for the bill.
House leaders announced shortly
after the vote, which ended at 1850
p. m, that the bill would not be
brought up in that branch for the
routine procedure of sending it to
conference until next Monday. This
respite, they said, was to allow the
435 House members to study the
completely rewritten bill.
Shortly after the Senate session
opened, a motion by Senator Thomas
Democrat, Oklahoma, to return the
bill to the finance committee with
instructions to limit the revision to
agriculture rates was rejected 70 to
9. Six Democrats, Blease and Smith,
South Carolina; Caraway, Arkansas; !;
Thomas Wheeler and Walsh, Mon
tana; and three Republicans, Nc
Master, South Dakota; Nye, North
Dakota, and Pine, Oklahoma, voted
for re-committal.
The export debenture plan OF as
sisting the farmer and the Sommons-
Norris substitute for the existing
flexible tariff are expected to prove
the biggest stumbling blocks to an
agreement in conference on the wide
ly-varying measures.
Both were placed in the bill by
the coalition of Democrats and Re
publican independents over the ex-
pressed opposition of President
Hoover.
Senator Simmons, of North Caro-
lima, ranking Democrat on the fin
ance committee, obtained pledges

INITIATES TIRES
AS AUTOMOBILE RUNS
SeafOrd Man Invents Device Which
VIII Be Great Aid To Motorists

A. L. Marvel, Seaford manager OF
the Postal Telegraph Office, has
about completed a device, known as
an imitation device, made up entire
ly of metal parts, which can be cas-
iiy attached and worked successfully
on any make of car without injury to
the motor. 1t is so constructed that
it is connected with each wheel ana
feeds through one main connection
to the motor, and it is said all four
tires can be perfectly fiat and from
the time the motor starts will be
properly inflated in less than min
utes at any pressure wanted, then
automatically cutting off until such
leakage drives the pressure down
when it cannot go below the gauge
or pressure set. A general engineer
ing test has been given the attach
ment, and reports are to the effect
that no tire can go fiat even with a
half-inch hole through it as long
as the motor is kept running.

Eastern District of Pennsylvania, or
Commander John D. Pennington,
Administrator for the Western Dis

in charge of a new prohibition en-
forcement area, embracing Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey and Delaware
under a Federal reorganization
scheme being mapped out in the
Treasury Department and Depart
ment of Justice conferences.
The shifting of executives is de-
pendent on passage of the William
son bill by the Senate, and is expect
ed to take place a month after en-
actment.
The Williamson bill, carrying the
recommendations of President Hoo
ver's Commission on Law Enforce
ment, which were approved by the
President, Secretary of the Treas

sentatives and is awaiting the DIS
position of the Tariff Bill before be-
ing considered by the Senate.
Under the bill, nationwide re-
organization of prohibition enforce
ment forces is required, with the De-
partment of Justice being given
charge of enforcement activities ana
the Treasury being put in charge OF
official permissive distribution OF al
cohol and other liquors.
The Williamson bill divides the

KENT FIREMEN ELECT
NEW OFFICERS
J. E. HaddaWay Named President OF
County Association

The monthly meeting of Kent
County Firemen's Association was
held at Harrington Thursday even
ing. The Harrington Fire Company
aided by the Ladies' Auxiliary acted
as hosts.
Every company in the county was
represented except Clayton and
Smyrna.
John Argo, of the Robbins Hose
Company, gave an interesting talk as
a member of a committee in regards
to organizing Safety Unit in each
company. He suggested that the
entire fire company be made safe
ty unit. 1t was found that the num-
ber of members responding to alarms
is so small that every man is usually
needed for actual fire fighting and
cannot be spared to rope off a fire
area and then police it. To appoint
an active man would be displeas1ng
to them as they want to be in the
actual fire fighting game, it was said.
Each member who is willing to take
little training should know first
aid. Oft-times at fires when tele-
phones and doctors are not available
an injured person could be relieved
of much suffering by the use OF first
aid. The directors reported the car
nival dates as tentatively selected.
Harrington has decided to abandon
carnivals. The Women's Auxiliary
will serve a supper for the fire
company during the month of April
officers were elected as follows;
president, ]. E. Haddaway, Camden;
vice-president, L. F. Schwe1tzer,
Hartly; secretary, w. D. Boyce,
Cheswold; assistant secretary, How
ard Rash, Cheswold; appointed by
the secretary; treasurer, c. w. Ma
chimer, Clayton; director for three
years, Ralph Hayes, Harrington; dl-
rector for two years, A. R. Jackson

Lawmakers are Milling Around

Texas lawmakers are milling around. They accept
cd the invitation Of the governor to get a closeup
OF prison farms. They departed. They got their
closeup. They viii return to Austin many men Of
many minds"
Sen. j. r. McFarlane is chairman Of the senate
committee on penitentiarieS. He called his commit
tee together and four bills were reported out by the
committee after a lengthy session. All four win be
thrashed out on the return Of the lawmakers.
There Is a majority bill which has the backing
Of Sen witt and Chmn. Wallace. This calls for q
new industrial prison within 20 miles OF Austin.
There is a bill to build a new prison at Huntsville.
1t is the child Of Sen. Nat Patton and Rep. Harry N.
Graves.
BY the way, Graves is the gentleman from VII
hanson. He is from the governors home county.
He is the personal but not the political friend Of the
governor-that IS. when 1t comes to voting for the
location OF the new prison plant.
Those who are close to him say that a penitentiary
a hundred miles from Austin would not appeal to
him any more than a penitentiary 20 miles from
Austin. Williamson and Travis counties are neigh
bors.
A third measure calls for the location Of a new
prison plant on the Imperial prison farm. in Fort
Bend county. It Is the child Of Dewey Young OF
wellington, away out in the North Texas Panhandle
country.
Rep. Leonard Tillotson OF sealy is the author Of
a fourth plan or measure. Rep. Tillotson Is a states
man who dearly loves TO pour oil on troubled waters
and TO make haste slowly.
He proposes TO separate the agricultural and indus
trial plant at a point to be decided by a new locating
commission.
This would be passing the buck from the 4lst leg
tsiature to the 42nd legislature, a body Of lawmakers
to be picked by the people OF Texas in the month
OF July and to be elected in the month Of November
m the fall OF the year.
Yes. the lawmakers are milling around. They may
continue to mill around until the expiration OF the
fourth special session.
Then no doubt another special session viii follow
and the flowers Of spring viii be peeping their heads
above the surface Of the earth and the feathered
warblers will be ~twittering in the t~reetops before fl
nal action has been taken on this problem as well as
the lawmakers OF Texas.
