: WAsIi1NGToN, May : 2e.-The
Smoot- Hawley tariff bill, approved
by President Hoover after hurried
return here from his Virginia camp
for a conference with Attorney
General Mitchell regarding the con-
stitutionality of its new flexible
clause, was ready today for a final
polishing before it is taken up by
the senate on Tuesday.
After the conference between the
two officials, in which Walter New
ton, Mr.. Hoover's political secretary,
participated, the White House said
the President found the revised
flexible clause satisfactory.
It's constitutionality had been
challenged by Senator Robinson of
Arkansas, Democratic floor leader.
But Mitchell pronounced the rewrit-
ten clause legal.
The outstanding point in the re-
vised clause is that it requires the
President to proclaim or veto the
tariff commissions recommends
tons for changes within sixty days.
It thus eliminates the possibility

The government sought to
punish Farrar under the Vol
stead act permit section which
forbids purchase of liquor
without a permit. The de-
tense contended this provision
applied only to those author
lied to use liquor, such as
druggists, manufacturers, etc.
The government submitted the
case for a final ruling because some
federal Judges in charges to grand
juries have cited purchase from
bootleggers as unlawful.
Buyer Not Criminal
Justice Sutherland announced
the courts opinion, which was
emphatic in stating that the Vol
stead act imposed no criminal liza
bility on the purchaser of illegal
liquor.
1t was significant, Sutherland
said, that congress has not acted
to penalize specifically liquor buy
ers. The courts ruling was unani-
nous.
In ten years of enforcement the
government has held purchase was
not included and therefore has not
attempted such prosecution as
this. The government admitted in
its arguments that congress consid-
cred such an extension of prohibi-
ton, but refused to include it in the
eighteenth amendment.
The court previously today de-
clined to consider the somewhat
similar case of Alfred E. Norris,
New York broker, on technical
grounds.
Second Case Not Considered
Norris had purchased liquor from
a Philadelphia bootlegger on mail
order. 1t was shipped to him by
express labeled as ink or olive oil.
In the Norris case the court ruled
that the defendant by pleading
"nolo contendre" had in effect
pleaded guilty and, therefore, he
was foreclosed from protesting the
validity of the indictment.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, May 26.-Sena-
tor Joseph r. Grundy rep, Pa
called by Democrats "the father of
the tariff BILL" personally contrib
uted 1921 GOO of the $685., 07614 spent
through his personal organization
to date in his unsuccessful race for
the Pennsylvania Republican sena-
torial nomination, 1t was learnd to-
day.
The amount was revealed by
Grundy and his personal account
ant, Thomas Bell of Philadelphia,
at the opening of the senate pri-
mary committees investigation.
The successful candidate, Secre-
tary of Labor James j. Davis, testi-
fed his personal expenditures
amounted to $10,541.45. His per-
sonal receipts we're $3.50, which he
turned over to his associated organ
izations. These figures did not in
clude his state organization ex-
penses.
VETS Furnish 100000
The Association Against the Pro-
hibition Amendment furnished
100000 for the wet ticket headed
by Francis Bohlen of the University
of Pennsylvania law school faculty.
Bohlen testified he raised no money
and spent none.
Bohlen said he advocated the
same thing Dwight w. Morrow now
is advocating in the New Jersey Re-
publican senatorial primary-repeal
of the eighteenth amendent.
Il was disappointed to find party
loyalty and ether attractions worked
against us" he said.
Records of all funds spent by the
various county organizations will be
sought Immediately, even if it is
necessary to subpoena all the coun-
ty chairmen of each organization,
Chairman Nye said after the hear
ing.
Bell said he was not prepared
to give detailed list of the receipts
and expenditures. Aside from
Grundy. there were about ITO or
lis contributors, he said, explaining
most of the expenditures went for
advertising and printing. Accounts
of these we're promised later.
GrundyS personal organization
sent money into thirty counties, Bell
added, but he said he did not have
a list of these.
Total to Be Larger
Both he and Grundy admitted the
total expenditures would be en-
larged from organizations indirectly
affiliated with them. They have not
yet received these reports and may
not get them.
Senator Dill (WaSh.) asked
Grundy if he had any suggestions
for leislatigon.
II am anxious to get your philos-
ophy about campaign expenditures, %
Dill told Grundy. 1.-The salary of a
senator for six years in 100000. Mrs.
Mccormick spent $252,000 and you
$4,000. Where should congress
draw the line?"
II don't think congress should
draw any line at all" said Grundy.

PERNAMBUCO, Brazil, May 90
The Graf Zeppelin, en- route to
Cuba and the United States, arrived
here today from Rio De Janerio.
The big dirigible was moored at
the flying field here at 1858 a. m.
(5:53 central standard time).
The Graf Zeppelin completed the
1900 miles from Rio De Janeiro to
Pernambuco in a little more than
twenty -four hours.
An immense crowd GREETED the
transatlantic dirigible at Giquia
airdrome, where it landed.
A holiday was proclaimed in Per-
nambuco and program of welcome
was prepared for the dirigible and
her passengers. Business was at a
standstill.
A tea dance at the Hotel Central
was arranged in honor of Com
mander Hugo Eckener and the
Spanish Infante Alfonso. The Ger
man counsel will give a luncheon
for DR.. Eckener and the officers.
The Graf Zeppelin will refuel
here before starting the next stage
of its flight.
Four passengers, including two
Americans, William B. Leeds and
j. H. Durreu, were scheduled to go
aboard here.
The dirigible, which left Fried
richshafen, Germany, a week ago
Sunday, flew to Seville, Spain,
across the South Atlantic to Per-

Janeiro and back, faces a flight of

After nineteen cars had qualified
Saturday, : only two passed the
eighty five mile-an-hour test on
Sunday, Tony Gulotta in four
cylindered NAVY Special, turning
1O0033 miles an hour, and Peter
De Paolo in a Duesenberg finishing
his four laps at an average of 1886
miles an hour.
More than $4,000 fans gathered at
the huge brick platter Sunday, but
saw little action. Those few thou
sand stragglers, who remained uIl-
til dusk, was beginning to fall, saw
the trials start.
Two drivers attempted to qualify
their cars just around o'clock, but
pulled in. Julius Slade of Jack
son, Miss, and his Slade Special
made first lap of BATH miles an
hour and a second lap of 85.993
miles an hour, but Slade decided to
quit and try again.
Rick Decker in a Decker Special
wheeled around the oval at ninety
four and ninety six-mile speeds for
two laps, but also decided to pull in.
Twelve Rows Should Start
Pit fans and experts today we're
beginning to incline to the belief
that not more than thirty-three cars
will line I'D at the starting line on
Decoration day.
There are, however, about four
teen cars that should be able to
make the grade and there should be
twelve complete rows of cars lined
up On Friday.
