tor Blaine Rep., Wis., today

ing could be arranged.
"ThiS committee will be subject
to the contempt in which the bishop
holds it if it does not do its duty, .
said Blaine heatedly.
"The senate will be held up to
the contempt of the country if it
does not act.
THE committee can not purge
the bishop of his responsibilities as
witness"
At the opening of today's meeting

REED TO Vote

Formal Pledge to Senate

WASHINGTON, June 12.-As-
surance that the Smoot- Hawley
tariff bill will pass the senate Friday
gained added weight today when
Senator David A. Reed Rep., Pa) f,
announced in a speech to the senate
he would vote for the measure.
For several days the PennSyl-
vanian, an intimate of Secretary of
Treasury Mellon and an influential
leader of his party, had maintained
he. was in doubt whether he could
support the measure. Republican
leaders maintain his vote will pass
the bill Previously Senator Norris
Rep., Neb) attacked the Smoot-
Hawley measure as protection run
perfectly Wild
From whatever standpoint it is
considered" Norris told the crowd
ed senate and galleries, this bill
is indefensible.
1T was conceived" he continued,
in the interests of victorious ST.
ness organizations which are using
the power obtained by unfair prac-
tees to thrust upon us one of the
most selfish and indefensibIe tariff
proposals that has ever been given
consideration by the American peo-
pie.
These interests have used their
power to bring about their own
destruction, in my opinion.
"a tariff bill which is built upon
such determinations between the
different groups of our people will
work out its own destruction"

United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, June 12.-Gloved
hand of new heavyweight cham
pion of the world will be raised
aloft in Yankee Stadium tonight.
It may be the hand of Jack
Sharkey, cold-eyed, enigmatical
Bostonian, descendent of Lithuan-
ians, but fighting to keep the title
in this country, where it has re-
manned since John L. Sullivan's
day. Or it may be that of Max
Schmeling, the ambitious German
youth whom the sfstic fates have
raised to sudden prominence.
The United States weather bu-
reau this morning forecast fair"
weather for tonight's fight. The
skies still were overcast slightly at
the time of the forecast, but indi-
cations were that there would be
10 rain, the bureau officials said.
$4,000 to Pack Park
A throng numbering nearly $1,000,
the seventh largest fight crowd Of
all time, will be packed in the big
ball park when Sharkey and
Schmeling answer the opening bell
of their dramatic fifteen-round en-
counter at approximately u p. m,
eastern daylight saving time.
There will be present celebrities
galore, including Gene Tunney, who
tossed aside the heavyweight crown
undefeated nearly two years ago,
Mayor Walker, Secretary of War
Hurley and representatives of the
German diplomatic corps in this
country.
Jack Sharkey, who awoke today
for his brief linbering up stroll
through Central park fit and quiet
ly confident, is favored by major
ity of the country's fight fans and
experts to defeat his youthful OPP
ponent within the limit of fifteen
rounds. The last minute odds were
8 to 5 on the Bostonian, although
there has been surprisingly little
betting on this fight.
$80O,G9O Gate Looms
While the battle tonight will not
approach in attendance and re-
ceipts the great fights in which
Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney
participated, it is expected to draw
nearly 100000. The nations fight
fans, slow at first to warm to the
encounter because of Sharkey's fire.
quently Disappointing bouts and
Schmeling's inexperience and long
absence from the ring, has come to
accept the ;.ffair in all its cham
pionship aspects.
The boxing commission also has
moved to protect Something's in
terests by withholding its decision
as to the referee and judges until
a few minutes before the bout. Four
leading referees will be at the ring
side, ready to serve if called upon.
Tonight or Friday
In event of downpour before
evening, the fight will be postponed
until Friday night.
Ringside seats in favorable loca-
tions we're selling today for as high
as SIPS each, although the Madison
Square Garden, which is assisting
the milk fund committee in promo
ton of the show announced that
plenty of ringside seats-thirty and
forty rows back-still we're available.
Sharkey and Schmeling are fight
ing on a percentage basis, and each
will receive considerably in excess
of $150,000. 1t is estimated that the
championship. will be worth more
than 100000 to the winner.

THUGS TERRIFY
Family after
BREAKING DOOR
Armed Gunner, Believed
HiiaCkerS, Smash Way
Into Home.
OPERATOR GIVES ALARM
MarauderS Drug Two Dogs,
Lock Man, Wife and
Children in Room.

Through southeastern suburban
districts early today deputy sher-
ifs emergency cars sped in re-
spouse to a report of a Beech Grove
telephone operator that over a
phone she heard several shots, and
a woman's screams.
At the home of Ben T. Baker,
Bethel and Southern avenues, they
found Baker, his wife and two chill
dren prisoners in a bedroom after
a night-riding outrage that left
Mrs. Baker and the children in hys-
terical terror.
An hour earlier the family was
awakened by pounding on rear
door.
We're the law" a male voice re-
piled to Bakers query as to what
they wanted. We've got a search
warrant"
Door Is Splintered
Read the warrant, and I'll open
the door," Baker demanded.
A kick resounded on the panels. A
gun barked several times.
Inside the house the family hud-
died, awaiting the marauders' next
move. Herding her children, Mar
garet, IA, and Rollie, II, clad only in
night-clothing, into the living room,
Mrs. Baker ran to the telephone.
Meanwhile the men outside had
splintered the door. One of them
rushed into the house. Covering her
with revolver he ordered:
Drop That Phone"
Drop that phone, damn you, or
I'll kill your He fired once as the
telephone fell from her hands.
AT the switchboard Mrs. Louie
Frittsi, 1923 Maple street, Beech
Grove, night operator, tried vainly
to talk with the person calling.
Then through her headset she heard
the screams, and six or eight shots.
She called the sheriff's office.
You've got Liquor here. We're
going to find it. one of the two men
in the house told Baker, punctuat-
ing his threats with revolver shots.
Deputies today said they believed all
the cartridges were blanks, after a
futile searching for bullet-holes.
Flee in Two Cars
Herding the Baker family into one
bedroom, the gunmen locked the
door and left the house. They fled
east on Bethel avenue, in a large
car and a small one.
Deputies said the men probably
were hi-jackerS. Although commun-
ity records of the Baker family
reveal no connection with liquor
traffic, recently there was a boot
logger in the neighborhood, accord
ing to rumors.
The hi-jackerS probably had a
false address, deputies declare. The
bootlegger is said to have moved
away several weeks ago.
That the marauderS marked the
house prior to the assault Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Krukemeier, neighbors
to the Baker family, told deputy
sheriffs this morning.
Dogs Are Dragged
The big car in which one Of the
men escaped, a long. gray touring
car, passed the Baker house slowly
several times Wednesday, with one
man, the driver, in it, they said.
Shortly after $50 p. m. WedneS-
day two dogs owned by the Bakers,

other a small terrier. began fren-
zied barking, but quoted down a
