BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, June 2l.-Communist news

United States was facing one of the
worst economic crises In its history.
Pravda. one of the organs of the Com

slump was merely prelude to a more
destructive and dangerous drop.
Americas general industrial crisis, =
said the newspaper, has been followed
by an agricultural crisis of unprece-

sharply decreases the purchasing power
of the farmers. The danger of new
war among the imperialistic countries,

HOOVER SUMMER
TRIP TO Be LIMITED
Home at Palo Alto Not In.
CIuded, and Yosemite
May Be Left Out. :

According to tentative plans beins
made for President Hoover's Western
trip this Summer q visit to his old
home at Palo Alto, Calf, is not In
cluded.
The understanding is that the Presi-
dent wants to confine his expedition to
visiting the several National Parks in
the Rocky Mountain section, and mas
much as he is allowing himself barely
six weeks for this trip, visit to Palo
question.
1t Is doubtful if he even enters Cali
forn1a. Yosemite Park in that State,
was in the original plan for the trip,
but this has been excluded. which is
taken to mean that the President will
not cross the border of the State Of his
adoption.
Date Yet Indefinite.
No definite date for the Presidents
departure from Washington has been
set. This is being left open until the
time of adjournment for the extra ses-
sion Of the Senate to consider the Lon
don naval treaty is known. It is
thought however, that the President
Will be on his way West by August /.
and, If he runs according to his present
tentative schedule, he will be arriving
back at the White House the end of
the first week In September.
OF course there will be some changes
In the plans even after the President
enters upon this expedition. These
changes may be mostly in the form of
visits to places not now included in the
plans. The President has politely de-
cltned many invitations to visit various
states and towns and places of interest
on this trip, but it is doubtful If he
VIII turn down all of them. It is be-
heved by some of his intimates that he
VIII be called upon to accept two or
three.
Speeches to Be Few.
Considering the number of invitations
already received the Presidents Sum-
n1er trip would take a year or so to
complete If he accepted all of them.
Also, there will be little speaking, at
least speaking of a political nature. on
this vacation trip, II the persuasions of
the Presidents friends have any influ-
ence with him. He has been advised.
since it was first hinted that he might
take occasion on this trip, to indulge
In quite a little talking. that it would
not be advisable for him to turn this
journey into a political invasion.
1t Is not definitely known now
whether Mrs. Hoover will be sufficiently
well to accompany her husband on this
trip. She Is still convalescing at the
RApidan camp, from the wrenched
back she suffered more than two
months ago. According to Capt. Joel

MAN DIES IN CHAIR
WITH SMILE ON LIPS
Andrew Jackson Hawkins,
Condemned Slayer, Shows
Unusual Bravery.

A song barely of his lips, smile on
his face and mis- bare feet tapping to
the time of the hymn colored minister
sang to him, Andrew Jackson Hawkins,
33-year -old colored murderer of his
sweetheart went to his death in the
electric chair at the District jail this
morning.
With show of bravery the like of
which never has been witnessed before
by jail attaches who have seen a score
or more of executions, the slayer took
the final penalty before a small group
of witnesses composed of jail guards
and officials and four newspaper men.
Hawkins literally went to his death
with a smile on his face, leaving a
statement with jail officials telling them
he "forgives all" and asks Ito be for
given"
He walked steadily from his cell. the
first in death row." with guard,
with Lieut.. Col. William Peake, warden
of the jail, then seated himself calmly
in the electric chair and submitted to
the strapping-in process and the fitting
of the mask over his head.
Keeps Time With Song.
While he was being strapped in the
chair, the Rev. James l.. Pinn OF the
First Baptist Church, 1884 S street,
sang the same song Hawkins had been
singing in the cell few minutes be-
fore, when Morning Comes" AS the
minister sang, Hawkins kept time with
his left hand on the arm of the chair
and patted the rubber carpeted floor
with his bare feet.
Capt. M. M. Barnard, superintendent
of penal institutions for the District OF
Columbia, who was witnessing his
twenty-sixth execution, said he had
never seen a man go to his death In
such an inspired way.
Hawkins arose at O'Clock this
morning and ate a hearty breakfast. He
amused himself in the cell until about
z o'clock, when Rev. Mr.. Pinn arrived
and took his final statement. Then he
was read the death warrant by Col.
Peake. Immediately afterward, at
about $50 o'clock, with the electrocu-
ton scheduled for 10 o'clock, he called
for the colored quartet of the jail to
sing to him. They stood outside his
cell and sang in rich, Negro voices,
Throw Out the Lifeline" and MY
Mothers Prayer Will Follow Me.
Hawkins thanked the quartet and
borrowed one of their song books and
began singing, lowly, when Morning
Comes"

Four minutes after the first flow of

TARIFF GOES BACK
BEFORE CONFEREES
Republican Leaders Expect
Speedy Return of Bill
for Final Vote.

By the Associated Press
The tariff bill was returned to con-
ference today for the fourth time when
Vice President Curtis upheld Demo-
cratic point of order against its rate
provisions
While the decision will delay the
long-pending legislation, Republican
leaders expect speedy correction of the
rates and return of the bill for a final
vote next week.
The rates questioned today are en-
braced in the original conference re-
port already approved by the House.
House Must ReappOint.
The House will have to reappoint
conferees before the two houses can
negotiate. Democrats in that branch
viii attempt to instruct the conferees
on many rates, but House Republican
chiefs will obtain rule to thwart their
move and save time.
Vice President Curtis sustained points
of order against some conference rates
on cheese and while in doubt about
objections raised against watch rates,
suggested a revision Of the language.
Senate Takes Up Schedules.
For the purpose of saving time and
bringing the two sections of the con-
ference report to a vote, with no inter-
vening debate, the report embodying
the rate schedules was taken up by the
Senate late yesterday, and the other
section, including the disputed flexible
clause and the lumber tariff, was tenn
porarily laid aside.
The closeneSs of the prospective bal
loting was accentuated by an inquiry
from Senator Harrison, Democrat, Mis-
sissippi, If the Republican leaders were
willing to arrange pairs for absent OPP
ponentS of the bill. Republican Leader
Watson and Chairman Smoot of the
finance committee replied they were not
prepared to discuss such an arrange
ment and indicated they wanted every
vote they could possibly get.
Speculation as to the bills ultimate
fate at the White House continued to-
day, induced by an announcement that
President Hoover is keeping an open
mind on the question Of signing or
vetoing the measure. 1t was said he
would make thorough examination Of
it's many provisions with the assistance
of departmental experts and then reach
decision on what its disposition
would be.
