AIR MAIL AVIATOR
 WORRIES GUARDSMEN
Flies Low Over Auburn Prison and Gets Fired
 Upon

Auburn, N. Y, March l P)-Peace and quiet again prevailed here today, after a mail pilot had innocently brought about a prison break scare that cost state troopers and national guardsmen several hours sleep.
 When an airplane circled low last night over Auburn prison, scene of two riots last year, 60 troopers manned the prison walls, lined up machine guns, and directed their fire skyward. The plane carried no lights. On edge since the last riot, during which eight men were killed, troopers feared the flier meant 10 drop weapons into the prison yard or to signal to some prisoner.
 Aroused by the firing, National Guardsmen went through an i'm promptu mobilization at the state armory.
 Several hours later. Cy Bittner, air mail pilot, reached by the Syracuse Post Standard at his home in Buff falo, said he had flown low over Auburn prison on his way west. Bitt- ner said he was flying at an altitude of about 1000 feet and that curiosity tempted him to take closer look at the prison of a clear night.
 Bittner said he was not aware that he had caused alarm in Auburn, or that shots had been fired in his di- rection.

Proposed $1 Barrel on Product and 50 Per Cent Tax on Gasoline Brings Close Ballot-Strcngth of Opposition Grows.

Washington, March 1 (UP)-Thc coalition of democrats and western republicans stood in complete con- trol of the tariff situation in the senate today after repelling q most spectacular assault of the high tariff advocates 10 place duties on oil and lumber.
 Sugar remained as their only big battle before the final vote is taken on the tariff bill which the coalition has so radically 11yised.
 The climax of the entire fight was reached at 10 o'clock last night when the weary senate voted. S9 to 27, against a proposed $1 a barrel duty on oil and a 50 per cent rate on gas- oline and petroleum by-products.
 Brushes f Opposition
 With the vote the coalition crush- ed the most formidable opposition which has been arrayed against it. Senators interested in duties on lum- Der, oil and sugar apparently had reached an off-stage arrangement whereby they would pool their strength to batter the coalition phalanX.

Hartford, March 1 P(-The pos slbility that three other state de- partments having partial jurisdiction at the Connecticut School for Boys it Meriden may take action in 8 move to do away with existing con- diti0ns at the school was indicated by Governor Trumbull this morning.
 That such a project, aside from the Investigation into charges of brutality, is under consideration, the governor affirmed, but he refused to comment further at this time.
 Board Considers Complaints
 The probe into the allegations of cruelty on the part of four officers Of the school is still in the hands of the board of trustees.
