HOUSE RESUMES
STUDY OF TARIFF
Members Are Called Into
Session Early t0 Pass on
Undisputed Parts.

By the Associated Press.
The Smoot-Hawley tariff bill was back
before the House today for approval OF
the work of the conference committee
and separate votes on highly controver-
sial provisions left unsettled by the
conferees.
Under a plan evolved by Republican
leaders, the members were called to-
gether an hour earlier than the usual
meeting time to pass upon the many
schedules not in dispute and to vote
before adjournment on the first of the
contested items, the duty on cement.
Gathering at IL o'clock each day, the
administration leaders hope to complete
work on the bill by Saturday night, in
Guiding debate and votes on cement,
lumber, shingles, sugar and silver, the
export debenture plan added to the bill
flexible provisions.
Democrats Lack Garner.
The Democrats today were without
the guidance of their veteran leader,
Representative Garner of Texas, who Is
i'll. In his absence, the leadership fell
to Crisp of Georgia and Collier of Mis-
sissippi, both members of the ways and
means committee.
Cement now is on the free list. The
House originally voted duty Of cents
q hundred pounds, and the Senate
amended this to 6. Under the leader
ship of Representative Hawley, chair
man Of the ways and means committee.
the administration group today sought
concurrence in the Senate rate while
the Democrats favored the retention of
the commodity on the free list.
Debenture Battle Il Resumed.
The battle over the export debenture
plan was prefaced late yesterday by an
address by Representative Ramseyer Of
Iowa, q Republican, urging that Presi-
dent Hoover be given Q fair and full
chance" to carry out his pledge Of
agricultural relief without the deben-
ture provision
The controversy over the debenture
scheme has been in progress for nearly
year In the face of outspoken oppo-
sition it was twice approved by the Sem
ate in connection with the farm relief
bill. but was voted down by the House
by an overwhelming majority. After
this roll call the Senate receded from
its position.
The debenture plan was, however. at
tached to the tariff bill by the Sem
ates acknowledgements Republic
can coalition. Administration leaders
are confident that 1t again will be de-
feated by the House.

|DAY IS QUIET HERE,
| WITH POLICE ALERT
Special Precautions Taken
to Prevent Disorders Be-
fore White House.

The Communists had the Police De-
partment guessing today, or else the
Police Department had the Communists
guessing. Whatever the case may be,
May day passed quietly and peacefully
in Washington.
Even though the Communists had not
advertised a demonstration, the police
prepared for one just the same. Mai.
Henry g. Pratt, superintendent, was de-
termined that his force should be ready
to put down any disturbance that might
arise. Consequently, the reserves in all
station houses were ready to 90 out at
o minutes notice.
Since the Communists in the past
concentrated on the White House for
their demonstrations, particular atten-
ton was given plans for coping with
any May day celebrants who might
threaten to distract President Hoover.
Fifty policemen, under the command of
Inspector William g. Harrison, were Sc
GREETED in the Belasco Theater, waiting
for something to happen.
Police in Theater Idle.
Arrangements also had been made to
close the big iron gates to the White
House grounds ut the approach Of any
procession or banner-bearers. In addi-
ton, orders had been issued to the po-
lice to keep pedestrians of the south
side of the Avenue in front of the Exec
utive Mansion should there be the
slightest indication of demonstration.
AS it developed. all these plans were
useless. The police in the theater

as fortunate Is Washington.

troversial items of the school estimate
for 1892, the Board of Education's

partments by May S.
In yesterdays conference the COM
mittee discussed briefly the controver-
sial items in the 1891 appropriation bill
delay in the school boards preparation
Of the following years estimates. It
was decided, however, to make no at
tempt to deal at that time with such
phases Of school needs as teaching
STATS in relation to the proposed
kindergarten reorganization and some
building improvements. These will be
considered later when the Senate and
House will have agreed on the pending
1881 bill. and 1t is hoped this agree
ment will be reached before the next

largely with setting up limitations for
various routine items. The details Of
the estimates, however, will not be made
public by the school authorities until
the estimates are considered BY the
