GRUNDY MAY FACE
DAVIS IN FUND QUIZ
Are Given Chance to Air
Charges Before Senate
Campaign Probers.

Senator Grundy and Secretary of La
Dor Davis, principals in the Pennsyl-
vania Republican primary which will be
held May 20, will be given an oppor-
tunity to face each other at closed
session of the Senate campaign funds
investigating committee next Friday
and air their charges of campaign ir-
regularities.
Chairman Nye of the campaign funds
committee favored such a course yes
terday after receiving first-hand from
Secretary Davis some complaints about
the conduct of campaigns. Senator
Grundy previously had submitted COM
plants to the Senate investigators
about combinations fighting his NOM
ination.
Senator Nye did not disclose the ma
ture of the charges after his conference
with the Labor Secretary. He said they
did not involve campaign expenditures
particularly, but that the charges came
within the scope of the committees IN
quiry. The committee has sent agents
to Pennsylvania and Illinois to inquire
into charges involving senatorial candi-
dates in those States, and upon receipt
of reports the committee will be ready
for hearings.
Senator Grundy has complained Of a
hook-up in Pennsylvania against him
self by w. w. Atterbury, Republican
national committeeman, and the organ
cation leaders for William S. Ware In
Philadelphia. Senator Nye laid in view
of the complaints he probably would
ask Grundy and Davis to appear be-
fore the committee.

TARIFF CONFEREES
NEAR END OF TASK
Partial Report Is Expected to
Be Submitted Before
Week Closes.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The tariff conferees of the Senate
and House today approached the con-
clusion of their gigantic task of bring
ing the two branches of Congress into
agreement on more than $4,000 dis
puted points and looked forward to
the submission of a partial report be-
fore the end of the week.
Eight controversies will be returned
to the floors of the two chambers UNI
settled and further instructions re-
quested. These are the rates on sugar,
lumber, cement, shingles and silver and
the Senates amendments to the ad-
ministrative provisions, which attached
the export debenture plan to the bill,
revoked the Presidents authority to
change rates by proclamation, and pro-
posed wide reorganization of the Tar1h
Commission
On the rate schedules in disagree
ment, the House will take separate
vote again on its amendments to the
administrative sections.
The conferees had before them today
the settlement of but two more dis
putes before the measure could be
turned over to statistical experts for
the preparation of the report. These
dealt with Senator Norris amendment
providing for the suspension of duties
on commodities in which monopolieS
might be found operating and the
House amendment to repeal the pro-
vision of the present law which limits
imports of Cuban cigars to packages
containing 5000 or more.
All of the privisions still in dispute
were the subjects of spirited contro-
versies in the House or Senate when the
bill was up for consideration. The
House conferees were bound by gen.
tlemens agreement not to come to a
decision on the five rate schedules
without asking House votes, and a
similar arrangement bound the Senate
conferees with respect to the export
debenture and flexible tariff provisions.

A sweeping investigation of the United

of England.

ROME, April 23.-The feast of st.
George, the dragon slayer. martyr and
patron of England, was celebrated Mt
tingly today by the British colony in
Rome and in all the churches serving
the English Catholic community.

ices at San Giorgio in Velbaro, where
part of the warrior saints banner was
exposed, as well as a reliquary contain
ing his skull. High mass was sung in
the Church of st. George and the
English Martyrs, situated just under the
slope of the Pincian Hill, attended by
the seminarians of the English and the
Venerable Bede colleges, the Gray
Nuns and Anglo-Saxon members of
other religious congregations. Another
stable congregation was expected for
vespers in the evening.
St. Silvestro in Capite, in the COM

for English-speaking Catholics, offered
similar services. An informal recep-
ton was rendered by the British Min
lister accredited to the Holy See.

LONDON, April 2S.-Rudyard Kip
ling, one Of the most widely known and
read British writer's alive today, was
widely mentioned last night for the
post of poet laureate of England, va
cant since the death OF Robert Bridges
yesterday.
Poets laureate are chosen by prime
ministers. and so far Prime Minister
Ramsay Macdonald has made no an
nouncement.
In addition to Mr.. Kipling, Alfred
Moves, Walter de la Mare, Sir William
Watson and Sir Henry Newbolt were
considered possibilities.
Many are wondering If there will be
any successor to Mr.. Bridges.
Lord Tennyson was the last poet
who performed in any measurable de-
gree the prime duty of the poet laure-
ate, namely, the writing of poem or
ode when the monarch was busted With
anything of great moment.
