his assailant had walked some dis

direction of the living room. The
absence Of any sign Of struggle
precluded the theory that the
leather dealer may have been muir

According to the bits of evi.

Rohm was last seen about 8

after he had called on a woman

have made two calls during the
evening at the house and had
left word that he would return
about II o'clock that night.

Rohn is believed to have
answered a summons to the front
door. A light in his bedroom on

FACING
FINISH FIGHT

The Hoover Administration was
facing a tariff Rubicon today as
leaders of the Democratic-Insurg
ent coalition proposed fight to
the finish on the flexible and
debenture provisions of the long
pending tariff bill.
The Administration faced the
necessity of obtaining permission
from the Senate to compromise
these two items or watching the
bill die in conference between
the two branches of Congress.
Thus far, House and Senate con-
ferees have deadlocked over the
proposed repeal of President
Hoover's flexible tariff powers
and inclusion of the debenture
form of farm relief in the pend
ing bill.
Democratic tariff chieftains
were considering a method of at.
tack on the Republican confer.

lock, which will be submitted to

LAID BY CHUN
To CHANCE
Friend of Slain Girl Thinks
Her a Victim of Someone
She Met by Accident

Mary Baker. Navy Department
employe, slain April IL was
murdered by someone who met
her by chance in her automobile
where it was parked near Seven
teenth and B Streets Northwest.
This theory seemed most logical
to police today after reading a
letter received from the Rev.
Thomas P. Baker Of Oak Grove,
Va. father Of the murdered girl,
written by Kiss Ora Smith, War
Department employe and the
last known person to see Miss
Baker alive. In it Miss Smith
told of meeting the slain woman
as she emerged from Epiphany
Church about 5:45 on the after.
noon of April II.
Tells of Me citing
She declared they sauntered to
and G Streets and she
asked Miss Paker to drive her
home. Miss Baker agreed, she
said, but declared her car was
parked on B Street. Miss Smith
decided that she could get home
quicker by walking, she declared.

hear from some out-of-town police
department that the principal
suspect, who skipped out" May

to be only the remoteSt possibility
that McDonough had anything to
do with the crime.
