TARIFF MEASURE
MAY BE PASSED
in TWO WEEKS
Several Important Items
Still To Be Considered
By Senate.
By PAUL r. MALLOS
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. II. UP
The tariff bill may be passed by
the senate within two weeks it ap-
reared today.
All of the important items of the
bill have now been acted upon eX-
cept hides and leather, boots and
shoes. These probably will be taken
up for consideration the early part
Of next week.
A hundred or more individual
amendments are to be offered be-
fore final action on the measure is
taken, but these are expected 20 be
handled with such speed that the
bill can go to conference around
February !, a year and :ionth
after it was first introduced in
congress.
AS it stands the bill represents
the low tariff views of the republi
democratic coalition, with thu
single exception of the wool sched
ule, where the basic rate was raiset
from 81 to "a cents pound. 1t con
tains the debenture plan of farn
relief and modified repeal Of the
flexible provision of the tariff act
There is no doubt these rates ano
the administrative features will b'
materially changed in conference
While the proposed % per cent in
crease in the sugar tariff was re
jected yesterday by vote OF rs t.
3S, the house reported an even great
CT increase.
An amendment introduced by
Senator Howell, republican, Ncbras
ka, proposing bounty of "A OF
cent on every pound of suga
produced in this country to be palt
from the treasury, is pending be
fore the senate. Ninety per cent OF
the bounty would go to the grove
and 10 per cent to tthe refiner
Howell said it would cost $l0,ooO,OO'
i year.
While many advocates of in
creased protection to the Amerleal
beet sugar producer favor this pro
posal, it appears that opposition IL
the senate to bounties of any sor
will cause it's defeat. A vote ma.
come on this amendment today
Howell offered it late yesterday.

CHICAGO, Jan. II. W.P-The
North Pole was in the Rocky noun
tain west on today's scrambled wea-
thcr map and trip to the corner
grocery was like polar expedition
anywhere in the hinterland.
Seasonal records for cold were
shattered and all time records APP
proximated all the way from Danff,
British Columbia. to northern Texas
and from the great divide to the
eastern fringe of the corn belt.
With snow still on the ground
after a series of Billiards, snow
storms, sleet storms, Arctic gales
and prolonged cold snaps, the mid
west and mountain west suffered
intensely from the latest cold wave.
Deaths from storm conditions, freez-
ing and asphyxiation due to over
firing stoves in poorly ventilated
rooms, mounted rapidly.
Tabulations indicated at least 100
deaths have been caused by wintry
conditions since they became acute
10 days ago. Hundreds owed injuries
or illness to the same cause.
Chicago, typifying the situation in
j.. larger cities of the affected regions,
~hivercd in 5 degrees below zero
weather. The plight of the poor and
homeless, already harrassed by the
storms and frigid winds, was des'
perate. Coal bins were empty III
many homes and women and children
huddlcd in bed to keep warm. Men
out of work and without homes be
sicged Salvation Army rescue ms
sions, police stations and pubic
buildings for shelter.
The coldest spot reported in the
United States was Waller, Mont.
where il was 80 below. At Banff,
over the Canadian border, the mer
curv went down to 81 below zero
and Edmonton, Alta, reported ~

Snowfall was general in Colorado

senting the California Press associ-
alton, now on an educational tour

MIA representatives and senators in

limiting the admittance of Mexicans

FIFTH FOLSOM
PRISON RIOTER
GOES TO DEATH

FOLSOM PRISON, Calf, Jan.
l7.W.P)-Eugene Crosby, 80, fifth
of the Folsom rioters, dropped
through the gallows trap at 1908
a. M, here today to join four com
rades who had preceded him in
death. DR.. p. w. Day, prison physi-
clan, pronounced the prisoner dead
in IA minutes.
The curley haired World War vet
eran of Oakland, who spent his last
prison hours writing letters and
composing poetry, kept an agree
ment mde with his companions
and went to his doom without bene-
fit of clergy.
A half smile played over Cros-
by's face as he was led in shackles
from the death cell by Warden
Smith and prison guard. He
showed no sign of fear as he walked
the 800 feet down the cell block
corridor to the execution chamber.
A large crowd, fully rs in number,
was present to witness the final
hanging of the series of five result
ing from the Thanksgiving day riot
in 1927 in which IL convicts and
two guards lost their lives.
Just as he started to enter the
death chamber, Crosby recognized
captain of the guard Clarence E.
Larkin.
"Good morning." he said.
They were his last words.
Crosby's body was turned over to
the Veterans Welfare Board, in ac-
cordance with his request. Burial
will be in the Preside burial
grounds, prison officials said they
were informed.
Still clinging to the slender shred
of hope that he eventually will
cheat the gallows, Albert NJ. Stew
art, So, "The Squealcr," was locked
up in the "back alley" of the prison
throughout the hanging. He is the
last of the six desperadoes who plot
ted the bloody outbreak in 1927.
At the murder trials Stewart
! turned states evidence in the hope
| Of saving his life. But the district
attorney insists no promise of i'm
munity was given. According to
Warden Smith, Crosby's execution
will end the months of terror in
which the prisoner has been living
for fear of vengeance by his COM
| rades.

Failure to reach settlement on
terms of the Hungarian reparations
payments today threatened to dis
rupt the nonGerman negotiations
at the second conference.
The delgates of -Slavia, Gee
cho-Slovakia and Roumania inform,
ed the six principal powers that
they would refuse to sign the Young
rcparations plan unless a settlement
with Hungary was reached at the
present conference.
The demands of the little entente

WEATHER HOLDS
UP SEARCH FOR
MAURY GRAHAM

LAS VEGAS, New, Jan. II. W.H
PILOTS of II planes poised to re-
new the air search for Maury Gra-
ham, mail flyer forced down into
the cold and snow of mountain
wilderness last Friday, today hoped
for break in the bad weather
which has consistently hampered the
rescue work.
The fog in which Graham strayed
from the route over which he was
carrying the mail between Las
Vegas and Salt Lake City, Utah, has
persistently hung on the mountain
sides, retarding the ground search as
well as that from the air.
With the delay, the lost pilots
chances of being found alive grow
less hourly. His four day supply of
food would be exhausted by this
time, officials of the Western Air
Express believe, and the chief hope
that he has survived the exposure of
storms lies in the possibility that he
may have found a snowbound min
er's cabin.
Adverse weather which kept most
of the fleet of II planes on the
ground at several southern Nevada
towns yesterday prevented thorough
checkinqg of the report Wednesday
night that Graham's plane had been
found undamaged without trace Of
the flyer.
The latest clue in the intensive
search, joined by a score of horse
men and several hundred miners and
ranchers, was report yesterday
that n. Peters of the Groom mine
in the Phoebe, New, region had
heard the roar of an airplane early
Saturday morning. The area will be
gone over again today, weather per
mitting.

BELIEVE THIRD
OF BANDIT CREW
KILLED in TEXAS
Woman's rawlings Hint
At Battle With Officials
In Lone Star State.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. II. W.p)
The body of j. w. Crawford, of
Toledo, Ohio, lies in potter's field
at Coleman, Texas, the sheriff's
office believed today.
Crawford, brother of Mrs. Irene
Schroeder, the "blond trigger wom-
an" of Pittsburgh, and wanted with
her and Glenn Dague, of Ohio, for
the murder of highway corporal
Grady Paul in Pennsylvania last
December 81, is believed to have
met death in a bank robbery in
Coleman.
His probable fate was disclosed
by the rawlings of Mrs. Schroeder,
who sank into a coma in her cell at
county Jail here when her usual
supply of drugs and alcohol was de-
Eied her, officers said.
RELIEVING the gun battle in the
hills of the Pima Indian reserva.
tion which ended when the woman
was captured with Dague and Joe
Huston by posse last Tuesday,
the woman is believed to have re-
peated in delrium what she said to
her gun partners during the fight.
"Shoot 'em. Kill 'em. They're
the same kind of guys that killed
Tommy" she screamed, while Off
GERS gathered about her cell to
listen.
Her brother was known to her as
Tom Crawford, they said, and it was
to him she referred.
Huston, who himself was believed
to have been her brother, shed
further light on the matter when
officers questioned him for several
hours. r,,t4t
"Irene told me one day that three
cops killed her brother by shoot.
ing him in the back" he told Off
GERS.
"She and this fellow Dague must
have been in some kind of q gun
fight a short time ago, for when 1
got into their car at Wink, Tex,
there was a bullet hole in the left
side which looked to me like some
body had been shooting at the driv-
cr," he said.
Loot Is Missing
Huston claims to have been re-
leased from Texas penitentiary last
Christmas and not to have known
the woman or Dague prior to the
time he joined them at Wink.
Coleman, Texas, authorities re-
ported to the sheriff's office here
that the Lone Star bank was robbed
there January 9 of $4,000. A gun
battle followed in which Patrollman
Summerall and an unidentified man
were killed. That man now is be-
licved to have been Crawford.
Authorities there said they buried
him without being able to discover
his name, but that he was one of a
trio who took part in the robbery
Pictures of both Mrs. Schroeder and
Huston were to be received by them
today and it was thought they may
be able to recognize one of them as
having been there at the time.
Sheriff Charles Wright believes
the $1,000 was sent on ahead of the
remaining two bandits to some point
III California or. Arizona. The three
were known to have been "broke'
enroute here from Texas.
The "blond trigger woman's'
haste to get to Yuma, he said, indi
Gates the loot might be there An
investigation is under way to deter
mine this possibility.
