I am not at all surprised at what you tell me-"

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 24.- Mrs. Winnie Ruth Judd, aged 26. sought for five days for the trunk murder" at Phoenix, Arizona, of Miss Hedvig Samuelson and Mrs. Agnes Leroy. both formerly of Ju- neau, Alaska, surrendered to the officers at 6 o'clock last night.
 Mrs. Judds surrender followed telephone calls yesterday after noon in answer to a broadcast and newspaper pleas by her husband, Dr. William o. Judd, that she sur render.
 Mrs. Judd had a wound in the left hand.
 She told her husband she quar- reled with Mrs. Leroy and Miss Samuelson last Friday night. She said Miss Samuelson shot her in the hand and Mrs. Leroy struck her with all ironing board. She said she then took the gun away from Miss Samuelson and shot them both.
 Arrested by Police
 Mrs Judd was arrested while mapping out defense plans with Attorneys Richard Cantillon and Louis Russell who were retained yesterday by Dr. Judd in case his wife did surrender or was cap- tured.
 It is also said that fears of lock-jaw developing from the bull let wound in her hand led to her surrender.
 Hiding in House
 Mrs. Judd had been hiding in a vacant house in Los Angeles since she disappeared from her brothers automobile last Monday. She ventured out, telephoned her husband, and it was arranged that she go to a certain undertaking establishment. She was then taken from there to the lobby of a down. town theatre where she was met by the attorneys and her husband. The party then returned to the undertakers.
 The police, apparently keeping a close watch on the attorneys, ar rived at the undertakers a few minutes later and she was ar rested.

IN TARIFF
PROTESTEDBY
REPUBLICANS
FIexibiIity Clause Adopted
at Hoover's Direction Is
Cause of Grief to Party

A disillusioned group Of high
protection Republicans were up
in arms today over the record
of the new United States Tariff
Commission in slaShing seven of
the new rates which Congress
enacted only a year ago
The high protectionists found
fault with the new flexible tariff
provision, which was written into
the bill at President Hoover's sug-
gestion and under which the CON-
mission has devoted most of it's
time to lowering rates.
Of the IL items considered thus
far the commission has cut seven
rates, increased two, and left
three unchanged.
The rates increased were on
fourdrinier wire and woven wire
fencing, while the rates on edible
gelatin, maple syrup, maple
sugar, pigskin leather, straw hats.
wood flour and wool felt hat
bodies have been reduced. The
commission left unchanged the
rates on smokers art" whatever
that might be, ultramarine blue
and wool floor coverings.
This record has left protec-
zionist Republicans gasping, since
Congress fixed the rates par
ticularly on straw hats and maple
sugar only after hours of debate
and laborious conferences between
House and Senate leaders.
The chief lament of the pro-
tectionists is that there is little
or nothing they can do, since the
commission has acted entirely
within the authority conferred on
it by Congress. The only action
left is to urge the President to
veto the commissions recon-
mendations.
Democrat Attacked
One of the chief complaints is
that the commission used "for-
eign invoice prices" in finding
the difference in cost Of pro-
duction at home and abroad" on
number of articles. This was
true of its action in slashing the
rates on straw hats, pigskin
leather, wood flour and wool felt
hat bodies.
The protectionists argue the
commission should have investi-
gated actual cost of production
abroad before giving a decision.
The Republicans also have
charged the new commission is
being dominated by a Virginia
Observation-Disclosures Thomas
Walker Page-and that Chairman
Henry P. Fletcher, Pennsylvania
Republican, has failed to uphold
his party's tariff plank.

GAS, ELECTRIC
DEPOSITS D. KID

E. C. Riegel, director of the
Washington Consumers Guild,
lost his fight to halt the practice
of local utility companies to re-
quire the payment of a deposit
before service is furnished, in a
Court of Appeals opinion handed
down today.
Mr.. Riegel first brought his
suit in the District Supreme
Court, declaring that the action
of the Public Utilities Commits
sion in allowing the utilities COM
panies to require the payment Of
a deposit from new customers
was discriminatory, because 1t
only required the deposit from
those unable to establish their
financial responsibility.
Robert E. Lynch and William
A. Roberts, assistant corporation
counsel, argued the case for the
commission. The court said:
1--WE think this contention
wholly without merit. The
only purpose of the rule is to
insure payment by the Gus
toner for the service he gets.
This, the utility, like any other
business organization, has a
right to demand if it wishes.
When the service is terminated
the deposit is returned with
interest. Since there is no
claim that the rule is not par
TALLY enforced, or that its
terms are oppressive, we think
it not discriminatory.
