SENATE TENSE
OVER TARIFF
Belief Is Measure VIII Pass
When Vote Is Cast
Friday Afternoon

WASHINGTON, June Pip
The tension Of the senate's Seething
tariff controversy increased today
as the time drew near for a final
vote on the Smoot-Hawley bill.
An anxious counting Of prospec-
tive votes was in progress. with the
republican leaders still expressing
confidence Of a majority in favor
OF the bill and waiting e~xpectantly
for an announcement Of how the
two Pennsylvania Senators. Reed
ana Grundy, Republicans, will vote.
BY unanimous consent agreement,
the final roll call on the conference
report will be taken az 2 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon. Both sponsors
and opponents Of the measure
predict 1t will be extremely close.
Taey expect one or two votes TO
settle the issue Of passage or rejec-
ton.
Senator Watson of Indiana. the
Republican leader said: we will
pass the bill" In making this as
sertion he took into account the
uncertainty Of the votes Of the two
Fennsylvanians. Senator Harrison
o. Mississippi said in debate late
yesterday he had mo great hope"
of the bill being defeated BY the
votes Of either Grundy or Reed.
Reed, who was in London at
tending the naval conference while
most OF the tariff debate vas in
progress, has been engaged since
his return in studying the pending
measure and comparing 1t with the
present law to see which in his
opinion better satisfies the needs
of his state.
Chairman Smoot OF the Senate
Financing committee. said late in
Yesterdays debate that Secretary
Mellon favored the bill. This was
IN denial OF newspaper reports he
opposed ii and came after Harrison
had twitted the republicans upon
the unusual spectacle Of the two
Pennsylvanian's uncertainty re-
garding a tariff bill.
Smoot added he believed Harri-
son would be the most disappointed
man IN the senate II the bill Is
defeated.
II the measure IS approved by
the senate tomorrow. the conference
report will be brought 10 a vote
in the house on Saturday.

POTVIN ALLEGES HE WAS
 ILLEGALLY OUSTED
Rings Suit Against St. Jean Baptiste Society For $3,00o
 Damages
Member for Thirty-two Years and
 Secretary for Twenty-Five

George Potvin, who was busted as . roaynher of the St. Jeane Baptiste Society of Putnam last July, after boldine a membership for fifty-two years. has brought a civil action against the society claiming that the sction dismissing him from member Shin was illegal and that he has sui sayed damages to the amount of Sq 900 Potvin has retained Attorney comnel B. Harvey of Willimantic as bis counsel. Property of the society on Providence street has been attached.
 The first public notice of the trouble between Secretary Potvin and the society. came through a summons for potvin to appear before the superior court at Willimantic the latter part of June. Potvin was charged with contempt of court in refusing to obey mandatory injunction to turn the hooks of his office over to the society. If then became known that Potvin, after twenty-five years of service, was ousted as secretary because, members of the society claimed he had usurp- cd arbitrary powers, struck from the rolls the name of a member who had heen convicted of selling intoxicating liouor, and had refused to appear, May 24th, when summoned to do so bv the tribunal of the society.
 In July Potvin was again given an opportunity to appear before the tri. bunal and be heard. He failed to ap- pear and was then dropped from the roll of membership.

NOT PROFESSIONAL
 SAFE CRACKERS
Burglars Make Crude Attempt To Open Progress Confec-
 tionery Safe
Arnold's Fish Market Also Entered
 Sunday Morning

Arnold's Fish Market in the Stoum- bells building and the Progress Con feetionery store, in the Court House block. were broken into sometime af- ter midnight, Saturday. A crude at tempt to open the safe in the confec- tionery store evidences that the breaks were accomplished by anna teurs. Approximately S4 in change was taken from petty cash box at the fish market. As far as known this is all the burglars got for their trouble.
 In both instances entrance was gained by breaking rear windows Three panes of glass, the upper pane near the window catch in each of three windows. were broken in the rear of the fish market. Why the burglars should take the trouble and assume the added risk of breaking three windows is a mystery. Entrance gained, they thoroughly ransaeked the pace. presumably in search of money. As far as known nothing was taken but the change in the cash regis ter.
 At the Progress store the burglars attempted to pry off the combination knob of the safe and succeeded in removing the top hinge of the safe door but were unable to open 1t. Mir. Stoumbelis said Monday that so far as he could learn nothing had been taken. The cash register was empty.
 The breaks were discovered by the police and the owners of the two places were notified between one and two o'clock Sunday morning.

PUTNAM MAN SUED IN
 AUTOMOBILE DEAL

The second case tried before Judge Wolfe in the superior court in this city, Wednesday. was that of the Rhode Island Motor Sales Company vs. Robert Diamond of Putnam. The plaintiff alleged that Diamond bought a car they owned from a man who had no authority to sell 1t and that therefore the title did not vest in Diamond. They asked that the car be returned to them. Diamond denied the allegation. He admitted he bought the car but claimed he was a bona fde purchaser for value and that the man he bought the car from was clothed with indicia of title. De- eision was reserved.
