KLEIN TARIFF VIEW
ASSAILED BY HULL
Contention That U. S. Exports Are
Not Affected Insults Intelli-
gence, Says Senator.

The contention that the high tariff
policy had not affected American ex-
ports of surplus products was chal-
lenged yesterday by Senator Cor6ell
Hull in reply to DR.. Julius Klein, As
sistant Secretary of Commerce.
THAT is an insult to the intelligence
OF even the head-hunters in Africa"
the Senator declared, replying to the
speech made Thursday night by Dr.
Klein before the National Foreign
Trade Convention. The Hull state
ment was issued through the Demo-
cratic National Committee
This official utterance, far more po-
litical than economic" continued Hull,
clearly indicates that the Hoover ad-
ministration, having yielded to the
domination of the chief industrial tariff
beneficiaries while the Hawley-Smoot
bill was pending. Is disposed to pur-
sue its policy of virtual non-inter-
ference with the present sky-high
tariff structure, at least until after the
campaign of 1882.
"a substantial part Of the Repub-
lican campaign fund in 1928 was con-
tributed by the benef1ciaries Of the en-
barge rates of the tariff bill. Dr.
Klein's speech was obviously a bid for
the renewal Of these contributions in
1882"

The District Commissioners ycster-
Cay rejected az bids for two incin-
orators provided Tor IN the past two ap-
preparation bills. as none of the IL bids
submitted met the specifications set out
by the Distric: Action on the bids has
been pending since March II.
Only two of the bids came within
Incinerator Co. of Dallas, Tex, was
low. with S574000, and the Morse
Boulger Destructor Co. Of New York
was next, with S594,317.
Bids Sent to Boston.
The specifications for the two IN.
Generators had been specially prepared
for the District by Metcah & Edoy,
Boston consulting engineers. and the
bids when resolved, were transmitted
to Boston for a report as to whether
anv of the bids met the specifications;
The Commissioners were understood
to have been considering an award TO
the New York concern when the Dallas
company protested to Controller Cen
eral McCarl. Apparently neither BID
met specifications, but the Commits
sioners had hop3d to change these SO
as to allow the New York firm the con-
tract. Mr. McCarl ruled this could hoe
be done. The text Of his ruling has
been withheld.
Reappropriation Necessary.
One result of the action is that an
appropriation Of S341 900 will lapse on
July /, and before another contract can
be advertised the Commissioners VIII
have to get Congress to reapproprlate
the money. There would not be enough
time between now and July to adVer-
tise for and receive new bids.
The sites for the two incinerators al
ready have been bought. Both are wa
ter front sites, one in Georgetown, at
Thirty-first and K streets and the sec
ond at First and o streets southeast.

MURDER MYSTERY SEEN.
Police Seek Identity and Cause Of
Death of Man Found on Street.

What is believed to be another muir
der mystery confronted police today
with the death last night Of the un-
identified man who was found uncon-
scious on Four-and-a-Half street near
B street southwest early Thursday
morning. The man. who was about so.
died at Gallinger Hospital from multiple
fractures and bruises.
Two theories have been advanced by
detectives investigating the case. One
is that the man was assaulted by rob-
bers, the other that he was the VIC
tim of a fit-andrun car. 1nasmuch as
the man was beaten badly, Investigators
incline to the former theory.
More than so persons have called at
the hospital and viewed the body, but
its identity remains mystery. Two
letters. "P. d." tattooed on his right
arm, furnish the only clue by which po-
lice hope to establish his identity.
The man is described as being feet
IL inches tall and weighing $50 pounds
He was wearing a light felt hat, blue
shirt, blue trousers and tan shoes when
found. His right foot was partly ampu-
tated, the result of some previous ac-
cident, hospital attendants said.
