be granted.
 ( The republicans, who control the house with an indomitable majority, are determined to shift further ne- gotiations into a conference of com- mittees representing each house. Therefore they intend to permit only vote on a m otion to send the measure as whole to conference, without voting on the debenture farm relief plan, repeal of the 1ex- ible provision, or the sugar, lumber. ly,
 In Hands of Committees
 This means the next remoulding of the bill will be in the hands of those who favor high rates and who are against the debenture, for the present.
 The conference committes to rep resent the senate probably will be appointed by Vice President Curtis today. It will be composed Of Re publican Senators Shoot, Utah: Watson, Indiana, and Shortridge. of California, and Democratic Senators Simmons, North Carolina and Har- rison, Miss. Shoot, Watson and Shortridge are generally regarded as the highest protectionists in the senate.
 A committee dominated by men of similar tendencies will be ap- pointed under Rep. Hawley, repub- | lican, Oregon, in the house. | The democrats will be in helpless minority and the midwestern repub- | licans will not even be represented on the conference committee. From this committee, the bill is expected to be brought forth in a i few weeks minus the debenture, with a compromise on the flexible feature which will satisfy the demo- crats, and with an arithmetical ad- justment of the rate differences be- tween the house and senate bills. l The fight will then start all over again in the senate with the ult- mate fate of the measure somewhat doubtful and resting on it's ability to curry democratic support.
 Seven Democrats In Favor I Seven democrats voted for the bill when the senate passed it late yesterday, 53 to 2o. They were Bratton, N. M., Broussard and Ransdell, La, kendrick, Wyo., Pitt man, New, and Tramme1l, Fla, whose colleague, Fletcher, Fla, was paired in favor of it.
 The fact that the bill contained the debenture won support from such. outstanding bloc leaders as Borah, Ida, Frazier and Nye, N. D.. Capper and Allen, Kansas, and Schall, Mnn. Those senators and some others will decline to support it when the debenture is dropped, as they all believe it will be.
 Only five republicans declined to support the measure on the ground the increase in cement, lumber, fur niture, seeds and clothing duties would more than offset any advan- tage the farmer would get from the bill. They were Blaine and La Fol- lette, Wis, McMaster and Norbeck, S. D., and Norris, Nebraska.
 Notice that the vote was not final was given in the closing debate by Borah and McMaster.
 If the debenture is taken out l predict the fight has just begun" said Borah.
 First In Farm Bill
 The debenture was first brought forth last spring as an amendment to the farm relief bill. It proposed that the farmers be issued certih- catcs from the treasury for all farm products exported. These certifi- catcs would be equal to half the tariff on the same imported pro- ducts. The measure has been viz

 If the senate and the house both appoint their committees as sched- uled before night, the conference committee is expected to get to- gether Wednesday or Thursday to start work of compromising diff ferences. They meet in secret and there is no indication now when they will be able to conclude, but the leaders say they will exert every effort to finish as soon as possible, believing final passage of the bill will be helpful in the present bus mess situation.

 Grandi told Mir. Macdonald that in the six month interim France and Italy might reach an agreement on 1taly's claim for naval parity with F,rance-or any other continen- tai power-and a three power limita- ton pact might be concluded be- tween Great Britain, the United states. and Japan. France and Italy would agree not to build any new naval strength during the period.
 The Daily Mail ascribed the ad- iournment proposal to British dele7 states had viewed it fayorably, and Flat it now would be considered by the French. The Mails version was that the adjournment would follow the conclusion Of three power pact.
 JltTdiu -nSltLiOltS 't1ltiCF
 The Herald said that Grandi had suggested that Mr. Macdonald act as intermediary in the 1talo-F'rcncn dispute during the time the confer ence stood in adjournment.
 The objection to such an adjourn ment noted in some quarters was that neither in Great Britain nor France are the existing governments 1 certain of their tenure and that a 1 change Of naval policy and an up- set in parliament that might take place in either country would fur. i thcr complicate the negotiations.
 Adyices from Paris hat Aristide Briand, French foreign minister, would return to- London almost im- mediately unless there were further adverse French internal political de- Nclopments, served to revive opti- l mism in some quarters that, after all, a way msht be found out of conference difficulties.

Assistant Secretary Of the

agents of 1000 persons who
visited the liner Bremen in New
York harbor last night. He said
today:
81 expect to receive a report
on this incident today and am
not certain until then whether
my order against tourists by
hip slapping was violated. II
there was ? specific complaint
that the law was being violated
aboard the Bremen, that would
place q different face on the
matter.
we cannot permit tourists
or their friends to hold high

Lowman, who was considerably
disturbed at the reports, called
attention to the fact that two
orders have been issued prohibit
ing customs inspectors from slap.

using other undignified measures
of detecting smuggled articles. He
declared that these orders would
be enforced strictly.
The Treasury, in cooperation
with a committee Of New York
citizens, is conducting q special
inquiry into conditions in the
New York port, the handling Of
passengers and baggage, especially
since the prohibition law went
into effect and then a constant
source of annoyance and COM
plant to the Treasury.
Time after time Treasury Off
Gals have issued orders to pre-.
vent the use Of hard-boiled
methods by inspectors. Secre-
tary Mellon recently pointed out
that passengers were entitled to
courtesy during the inspection OF
baggage.
Lowman said he will take ap.
propriate action as soon as he
gets a report from the customs
bureau.
