MOSCOW, March l5-SWeeping new
orders against an excess of zeal in the
collectivization of farms, determination
of the rich peasants and the closing of
churches have led foreign observers In
Moscow to believe that a new and more
moderate era in Soviet Russia is at
hand.
The Soviet government now appears
definitely to have turned toward less
drastic campaign in bringing about its
ultimate goal of Socialism and observ-
erS look upon this as almost as import
ant and decisive in its consequences as
the economic, political and social pol
icies instituted last year.
Particularly they attribute the gov

the churches to resistance on the part
of the peasants.
Less Severity Is Ordered.

Attempt.

BY the Associated Press,
NEW YORK, March 15.-Six thugs
escaped through a police net today
after they had shot and killed police
man in an unsuccessful effort to seize
$1,000 pay roll of a Brooklyn shoe
factory.
The policeman, Walter de Castillo,
had accompanied David Weinste1r1,
president of the shoe company, to the
bank to obtain the firms pay roll and
after returning to the factory retired
behind a partition while Weinstein and
two girl clerks counted out the money.
Four men entered, leveled guns ct
Weinstein and demanded that he turn
over the pay roll.
Castillo stepped from behind the
partition, gun in hand. But he never
got a chance to use the weapon. Three
of the bandits Immediately opened flre
and Castillo dropped to the floor, four
slugs In his body
The men turned and fed, leaving the
money behind. They forced an ele-
vator operator to take them down from
the sixth floor of the Loft Building
The operator became confused and let
them out on the second floor.
Meanwhile clerks had shouted from
the windows to pedestrians to sound an
alarm and police reserves were called.
No one had seen the bandits leave the
building and 80 patrolmen. armed with
riot guns, guarded all exits while de-
tectiveS made a systematic search OF
the nine-story building.
No trace of the men could be found.

Senator Borah has given notice that

public investigation demanded by SEN

after the appearance of the two dis

opposes the probe, it is likely that the

LUMBER AND OIL
FACEDBY SENATE
Watson Predicts Tariff Bill
Will Go to Conference by
Thursday.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

With votes on lumber and oil knock
ing at the door, the Senate this week
swings into the final round of its long
fight over the tariff bill. Prediction
was made last night by Senator Wat
son, Republican leader, that the bill
would be passed and sent to conference
by Thursday night.
The effort to place duty on hides,
with compensatory and protective
duties on leather and boots and shoes
appears to have lost so far as the
Senate is concerned The House lifted
these items from the free list, how
ever, and placed duties on them. If
the Senate keeps them all on the free
list as it now appears probable, the
matter will have to be ironed out in
conference.
During the last week. the old Senate
coalition, composed of Republican pro-
gressives and Democrats which con-
trolIed the fate of the tariff bill for so
many months, was hit hard, failing to
prevent increases In the sugar duty
and to prevent levying a duty on &C.
ment. It will struggle to defeat duties
proposed on lumber and oil and in
creaSes advanced for number of items
in the bill. The lumber duty may pre-
vail, its friends insist, but the duty on
lumber and oil duties should be writ
ten into the bill, the charge of trade"
of votes involving supporters of duties
on sugar, cement, oil and lumber will
be raised more loudly than ever.
Debenture.
The reverses suffered by the coalition
have given rise to the prediction that
when the tariff bill comes out Of con-
ference it will be minus the debenture
clause and that 1t will carry the flexible
provisions of the existing tariff law,
with perhaps some slight modification
giving Congress a check on the Presi-
dent in the matter of changing the
tariff duties. The President, it has
been said, is unalterably opposed to
the Senate amendments doing away
with the flexible provisions of the law
and setting up the debenture plan for
aid of the farmers.
Efforts made yesterday by Senator
Walsh of Massachusetts, to modify the
Oddie amendment levying duties on
hides, boots and shoes and leather
failed. The supporters of a duty on
hides and supporters of the duties on
boots, shoes and leather have found
it impossible to get together, and the
indications are that in the end all Of
these commodities will remain on the
free list In the bill as it passes the
Senate.
Nevertheless, efforts to adjust these
differences are still under way over
the week end, and some Senators are
