five Indianapolis detectives and eight

barricaded himself tonight, after he
had unsuccessfully attempted to evade
the officers by leaping from Monon

Police had received an anonymous
telephone call earlier that mine Chi

apolis- Monon train. They board
ed the train at the North Side Station,
but found no gang aboard. After the
train had gone few blocks, however.
and was travelling at the rate OF 40
miles an hour, Berg leaped off. The
train was stopped and the detectives
followed him.
Berg took refuge in a nearby house
after breaking in through a window,
but was trailed by the detectives. He
took refuge in closet and in bitter
struggle with his would-be captors, al
most won the battle until eight police
men arrived.
Berg and the officers were all badly
battered and bruised. At police head
quarters Berg was held on charges of
vagrancy and resisting an officer. He
said that he fought the detectives be-
cause he thought they we're gunner
trying to get him." but police said he
continued his battle even when the
uniformed police arrived.

but they agreed to find out and let him
know the origin of their own, particular

So they went to reference books and
sent him this:
"Creole-A descendant of white peo--

WATSON EXPECTS
TARIFF BILL DELAY
Hughes Debate Makes Pas.
sage by March I Unlikely,
He Declares.

Because the week has been taken UP
almost entirely with the discussion OF
the nomination of Chief Justice Hughes
and the Supreme Court, Senate leaders
are now apprehensive the tariff bill
cannot be passed by March /, as they
expected some days ago.
Senator James E. Watson, Republic
an leader, said yesterday that while he
had hoped the bill would pass by March
/, the long debate over the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Hughes and over the SUI
preme Court had more or less disar-
ranged plans. He said nobody expected
so lengthy a discussion as arose over
Mr.. Hughes confirmation and this de-
bate. along with pressure to bring up
subjects other than the tariff, was
tending to hold tariff action back.
Senator Watson said the bill should
be expedited and passed. He said the
delay in the measure was tending to
create business uncertainty, and to
hold back purchases of goods and prod
ucts of various kinds. He will continue
to urge the Senate to hasten action on
the bill, but he has little expectation
now that 1t can be put through by
March /.
Efforts to Be Continued.
Sometime ago Senator Watson felt
there was danger no tariff bill would
be enacted. He gives it as his opinion
that Congress should enact the bill
and he believes this is likely to be
done, though he sees some difficulties
IN the way. President Hoover is under
stood to feel it would be a mistake not
to pass a bill.
Personally, am of the opinion that
Congress should go ahead and pass the
bill" said Senator Watson.
He made it plain that he felt the
rates in the industrial schedules could
well be made higher and more pro-
tectiye in a number of instances. He
regards foreign importations in a num-
Der of lines as excessive and he does
not believe these importations will be
checked to the extent they should be
by any tariff legislation likely to be
put on the statute books by this Con-
gress.
Senator Watson and other Senate
Republican chiefs were concerned yes
