INCREASE
ON SUGAR
DEFEATED
Harrison Amendment Re-
jecting Tariff Raise Is
Adopted.
FIGHT NOT ENDED
Compromise Expected In
Difference Between Sc
nate And House Rates.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. fUP.-
The proposal to increase the tariff
on sugar by % percent from l.76
cents a pound to 2.20 cents a pound
was defeated in the senate today.
An amendment proposed by Sen
ator Pat Harrison, democrat, Mis-
sissippi, was adopted eliminating
the raise written into the bill by
the republican majority on the SEN
ate finance committee.
Harrison contended the boost
would cost the American consumers
Sj4 100000 more year on their
sugar bills while advocates of the
committee action, including Chair
man Reed Smoot of Utah, claimed
the increase was necessary to pro-
tect the tagging American industry.
Harrison amendment.
The low sugar tariff advocates
won despite the detection in farm
ranks, when eastern republicans
from consuming states supported
the democrat amendment.
The senate action does not end
the fight. The house adopted rate
of 2.4O cents a pound in the Tariff
bill which passed last spring. The
difference between that rate and the
present law is now an issue to be
, ironed out when committees repre-
senting each house get together AFT
er the senate finally passes the tar
| iff bill.
| Compromises usually are effected
N such cases and it is possible the
bill may yet carry substantial IN
crease over the existing law when
it is finally passed and sent to tn"

Senators johnson and Shortridge
of California voted against the
amendment.

GERMANY READY
TO SIGN YOUNG
PLAN SATURDAY
By SAMUEL DASHEILL
United Press Staff Correspondent

THE HAGUE, Jan. 16. W.R)-
Final technical phases of the repair
ations settlement under the Young
plan were discussed today as the
conference protocol was prepared
for signature Saturday.
Germany having accepted the
right of the allied powers to guar
antees of payment, the delegates of
the principal powers discussed mob
ilization of the first Young plan
loan. The discussion centered on a
proposal by Philip Snowden, British
chancellor of the eXchequer, where
bv Germany would engage not to
contract a foreign loan until the
mobilization loan is covered and the
international bank running smooth
ly.
April was favored for negotiating
the loan but no definite decision had
been made. The non-German repair
ations problems were not yet cleared
up and the Balkan commission met
to continue discussions while the
drafting committee worked on the
conference protocol.
The acceptance by Germany of
the sanctions clause was considered
n victory for Premier Andre Tardieu
Of France, who had insisted upon
guarantees since the first days of
the second conference. The German
delegation, after accepting the sane
tions clause, issued formal state
ment saving that they considered
the eventuality of the Young plan
being destroyed as "impossible".
The sanctions clause provides that
any single power may call the inter
national courts attention to an al
legged German delinquency in pay
mcnt.
BERLIN, Jan. l6. W.H-Political

particularly among the German del.

per calls "revenge on Schacht" for
his antagonistic attitude towards
the Young plan and the cabinet, it
is claimed the government will in.
troduce new bank statute in the
Reichstag to obtain a greater hold
ON the directorate and, through the

WOMAN BANDITS
BRAVADO FAILS
in PRISON CELL

PHOENT&, AM, Jan. 16. up
DoIirious rawlings of the "blondc
trigger woman of Pittsburgh and
reports pouring in from dozens of
outside sources today brought fur
thcr revelations concerning the
crime records of the woman, Mrs.
Irene Schroeder, and her two com
panions, Glenn Daguc, of Toledo,
o., and another man.
Lack of chop and her usual sup
ply of alcohol shattered the nerves
of the hardened gun woman, off
Gers said, and she sank into n par
tial coma.
Her uncontrolled babbling shifted
from scene to scene in the life which
led her from Il little town near
Wheeling, w. Va, to the Pennsyl-
Vania state penitentiary and even
trally to the hills of the Pima Indian
reservation in Arizona, where she
was captured Tuesday night Ly a
posse.
She now is believed by authorities
to have escaped from the Pennsyl-
vania prison in July, 1929 Less than
SIX months later, on December %,
she is alleged to have shot Grady
Paul, corporal of the highway patrol
IN that state, and to have wounded
another officer, Ernest Moore.
With her were j. w. Crawford
and Walter Glenn Dague, who also
are wanted for the officer s mur-
der. Dague's claim that he was Al
bert Winthrop was broken dowi, last
night when finger print records were
received which fully identified him,
deputy shcriffs said.
More Crimes Hinted
The third man taken by the posse
and believed to be Crawford may
establish his identity as Joe Huston,
of FL Paso, Tex, and Tucson, Ariz.,
it was believed. He admitted having
been released from Texas peniten-
tiary on Christmas day, but gave his
name as Joe Wells.
Another alias, Vernon Alderman,
has cropped up during his question:
ing by officers. He is said to tally
with descriptions of a member of a
gang that robbed bank and killed
patrolman at Colemen, Tex, on
January o. A $4,000 reward is of
fered for the gangster. Some suspi-
cion also was held that both other
members of the trio held here were
involved.

authorities that Huston may have
been connected with several hold
