DIARY OWNERSHIP QUESTIONED
Swedish Statute May Put Matter Into
Governments Hands.

STOCKHOLM, September S R).-
The question as to ownership of the
Solomon August Andree diaries, found
last month on the body of the ex-
plorer who persisted on White Island 80
years ago, presents a problem which is
puzzling many persons.
Since Andree died in 1897 and the
ownership of written or printed matter
ceases in Sweden 80 years after the
authors death, it is held doubtful
whether the relatives Of those who were
on the expedition will be able to claim
the books. They probably will be placed
in the hands of the Swedish govern
ment, 1t is said.

Spurred by demands for speedy
action, House and Senate con-
ferees met in their third confer
ence today to finally compromise
the last of long series OF dis
putes between the two branches
of Congress over the AdmlnlStra'
tons 16-month-old tariff bill.
A final vote within 10 days was
in sight as the confereeS debated
changes in the bill to conform
with the rulings of Vice President
Curtis that their original compro-
mise rates on cheese, rayon,
watches and cattle had been ex'
orbitant.
Democratic leaders aided in
drafting the final schedules on
these items. They also consid-
cred minor changes in the rates
on cherries to conform with a
doubt" expressed by Curtis that
the schedule, too, might be out OF
order.
1t was the plan of Administra
ton leaders to complete the last
minute changes within a few
hours and present a final draft
of the bill to the Senate today

MAY CLEAR|NGS
OFF 13 P. {.

NEW YORK, June eff indica-
tions count for anything. it is
probably safe to surmise that bank
clearing and bank debts are a
better guide to business conditions
this year than for some time past
when stock market operations
served to warp these two measures
of trade out of all resemblance to
their old-time character, Brad
streets reported yesterday.
Bank clearings at 1875 cities for
May totaled $48,S52, 1863, 900, which
were 4.3 per cent below those of
April, 13 per cent below those of
May a year ago and 14.5 per cent
below those of May, 1928.
With New York city'S total for
May of $31,429, 900, 900 which is
14.5 per cent less than a year ago
and about the same percentage
less than in 1928. omitted, q
total of $l7,423,251, 900 at 125
cities is left which is l0.1 per cent
below a year ago.
This total outside of New York
is little different from the like
cities totals for March and APP i
and the percentage of decrease
is almost Identical with the total
