Captain William r. Eagles real

He called for volunteers to swim
ashore and call the coast guard.

Ambrose Stump, %, of st. Joseph,

returned in a few minutes.
AS he climbed aboard, Aiken went
over the stern and started for the
shore.
The four men kept one eye on
the bobbing head Of the boy and
the other on the rocks. Finally,
Aiken disappeared and the crew
turned its attention to the ever
narrowing distance to the jagged

When the boat was less than
fifteen minutes from disaster a

My Old Girls
Brothers, Separated for
SIS Years, Span 10000
Miles With Radio.

BIZ United Press
CCHENECTADY. N. Y, June II.
~ Radio spanned 10000 miles
of space today to enable two
brothers, separated for flfty-six
years, to hear each others voice.
For forty-f1ve minutes Thomas
Hays of South Manchester, Conn,
and his brother John of Sidney,
Australia, exchanged pleasantries
through the short-wave stations
of W2XAF fthe General Elec-
trio Company and VK2ME at Sid
ney. The conversation was broad
cast from WGY.
Thomas, who is 70, was i'm
pressed with the cockney accent
his brother had acquired in Aus
tralia, and banteringly remarked
about it. John jokingly inquired
OF his "old girls" he left behind.
He is rs and retired.
Their voices were heard distinct
ly, according to General Electric
officials, who said they had re-
ceived a telegram from a radio fan
at South Manchester commenting
on the clearness of the converse
ton.
The two are survivors of fam
lily of thirteen. John left South
Manchester, his birthplace, when
he was 20 and had not been heard
from until about a month ago,
when he grew lonely and wrote
his brother. A Manchester news
paper editor became interested
and suggested that a radio con-
versation be arranged, General
Electric officials said.

New Jersey Is Voting

BU United Press
NEWARK, N. j., June 1.-THE
wet and dry issue within the Re-
publican party of New Jersey was
being settled by the voters today at
the statewide senatorial primary.
Vets and a large section of those
whose views are not sufficiently
strong one way or another on pro-
hibition to permit their classical
ton, are supporting Dwight w. Nor
row, ambassador to Mexico.
Opposing him as a bone dry is
Franklin w. Fort. Camden, now a
member of congress.
Between the two, depending large
ly upon his admitted personal
strength, is former Senator Joseph
Frelinghuysen.
New Jersey generally is con-
sidered a wet state.
Morrow forces claim the victory
today by more than 100000.
Forts friends predict their
candidate viii win by almost as
much.
Frelinghuysen and his followers
refuse to concede anything.
Or the Democratic ticket there is
no contest for the senatorial nom
nation. Alexander Simpson, noted
prosecutor of the Hall-Mills case, is
the only candidate.

HIGHER RATES ON IMPORTS
TO GO into EFFECT TONIGHT
House, Senate ConfereeS

FIGHT GOES TO POLLS
Legislation Held Most I'm
portant in Congress
Last Eight Years.
BY PAUL R. MALLoN

WASHINGTON, June l8.-Presi-
dent Hoover signed the Smoot-
Hawley tariff bill today, thereby
making it law. It's new and higher
duties on imports will go into effect
at all ports of entry at midnight to-
night.
With short and simple ceremony
the President fulfilled the require
ments of the Constitution, proclaim
ing the tariff act which congress
spent eighteen months in making
The house and senate conferees
who whipped the measure into its
final form were present, led by the
co-authorS of the bill, Chairman
Reed Smoot Of the senate finance
committee and Chairman Willis
Hawley of the house ways and
means committee.
Extensive preparations have been
made to see that the duties swiftly
become effective.
Dispute Over Duties
The opponents of the admins
tration have announced their in
tention Of carrying their fight
against the measure to the polls in
the coming congressional elections.
To no legislation in the last eight
years has so much Importance been
attached.
Its increased duties on sugar,
shoes, lumber, cement, bricks, and
wool and hides, particularly, aroused
the senate to the most extensive
political debate in recent times.
Its alleged influence in curtailing
buying power was cited in the SEN
ate late Tuesday by Democrats as
one of the reasons for the stock
market decline.
Just how great the increased du-
ties are is a subject of an intense
dispute as the provisions of the
bill itself. Mr.. Hoover indicated in
statement Sunday night the in
crease would be only about 2.8 per
cent.
Called Billion Dollar Bill
Shoots figures have indicated it
would be per cent, while Demo-
Gratis and independent Republican
opponents of the bill say it will
reach 18 or 20 per cent.
Smoot estimated its increased cost
would amount to about 100000 900
year on the basis of 1923 imports,
while the Democrats contend the
cost will be nearer a billion dollars.
What effect the increases will
have on the prices of foodstuffs and
clothing also is a matter of debate.
