MAY REVISE J. 5.
 CANADIAN TREATY
Plan Way Of Preventing Boats
 Sailing Without Lights

Washington, Sept. 25 R)-A pro- dian agreement, to strengthen en- forcement of prohibition along the seaboards and at the same time eli minate menaces to navigation may be made shortly by the state depart ment 10 the Ottawa government.
 Brought prominently to the fore by the Canadian governments pro- test recently against the seizure within the 12 mile rum smuggling treaty limit of the Canadian vessel Fire Light for running without lights, the whole question of coastal navigation may become the subject of diplomatic conversations between the two governments
 While department officials con- sider the American governments ac- knowledgment of Canadas protest closed the incident of the Fire Light, it is felt here that some steps should be taken to protect shipping against possible collisions near the coasts with vessels running without lights, whether carrying rum or other com- modities.
 The Canadian protest was not made against the seizure of the ves- sel, since the boat was later releas- ed. The Ottawa government did stress, however, it's feeling that the American action in seizing the Ca nadian vessel for violation of a do mestlc American navigation law un- der the terms of an anti-rum smuggling treaty constituted a breach of principle.
 Coast guard officials have already discussed the question with legal ex- perts of the state department and nave suggested that steps be taken to protect navigation along the coasts. One of the principal diff cultles which has confronted the coast guard in the enforcement Of prohibition is that many rum run- ners ply the coasts without lights and it is believed by coast guard of nclals that an agreement under which nation would refuse to sun- port the master of vessel running without lights, whether carving rum or not, would discourage the practice and facilitate the work of enforcement along the coasts.

TARIFF BODY GETS READY FOR WORK
Preferred Goods Will Be Among
 First for Consideration

Washington, Sept. 25 (UP)- ... President Hoover's new tariff com. mission, which opens a series Of II hearings next month, is giving it's first attention under the flexible tariff provision to those commodities which received increased protection under the Hawley-S Shoot tariff law.
 Although the commission said there was no significance in the priority given these particular in- quiries. the manufacturers of the products concerned will be placed on the defensive and in the position of defending their new rates rather than seeking higher ones. The re- suit may be the first recommends tons of the commission will be downward.
 In addition, all of the commodities on which the hearings will be held are among the 60 referred to the commission for investigation by the senate. Most of the inquiries were asked by coalition members who were seeking to have the rates re- duced.
 The more important of these com- modities. on all of which the rates were increased by the Hawley- Shoot act, are straw hats, pig iron, wool felt hats and wood furniture. Fletcher said the commission is proceeding with its work despite the fact the president has not yet ap- pointed the third democratic mem- Der of the bipartisan commission of six. He gave no indication as to when the commission may complete it's first investigations. The previous commission averaged two years for it's inquiries.
 The chairman announced he would give out all information and would be the sole source.
 Hearings were announced for the following dates:
 Straw hats, October 2s pig iron. October 30; woven wire fencing and wire netting, November 5; ul- tramarine blue, November 6; smok- ers' articles, November [; pigskin leather, November II; maple sugar and maple syrup.

 we all talked about business con- ditions, a little about the theatrical business and just things of ordinary interest. The men talked mostly among themselves. Now and then my mother or I would join in, but I was not greatly concerned about the conversation and took only a casual part in it.
 T could not tell whether there was anything unusual about. Judge Crater's actions as I had never seen him before. Apparently he was not excited about anything, for he laughed and talked easily and seemed in a good humor."
