SENATE To BACK
HOOV.ER'S s VETO
Of TARIFF ACT
two Weeks Wasted View of
Brookhart on Debate and
Passage of Bill

Presidential veto of the
Democratic tariff act, strip
ping President Hoover of all
power over changes in the
tariff and calling for an inter
national economic conference,
was predicted as a certainty
today.
Senator Brookhart (R) of Iowa,
observed:
Passage of the bill in the
Senate yesterday does not mean
it will become law, even though
the House had already passed
it.
"It will be vetoed, and the
veto will be sustained. We have
just wasted two weeks in an
academic discussion of this
100 years and mOre-Old tariff
question.
evil Done''-BrOOkhar
"The real fact is that what
ever evils there were in the
Hawley-SmOot tariff bill have
been accomplished. We have
turned the world against us,
and we are not going to sell
anything to the world any
further unless they have to buy
it,"
Senate insurgents Joined the
Democrats in passing the bill, ~
to 80. It now goes to conference
to reconcile the difference be-
tween the original House bill and
the measure as passed by the
Senate.
Senate Alters Bill
The House gave the U. S. Tariff
Commission authority to impose
changes in tariff duties if Con-
gress failed to act on any recon-
mendation within so days.
The Senate struck this provision
from the bill, giving Congress ex-
elusive control of the tariff and
making the commission only a
fact-finding body.
The bill also authorizes the en-
ployment of a consumers counsel
to represent the public before the
Tariff Commission.

COUNTY To PAY
TEACHERS

The Arlington county board Of
commissioners today reluctantly
authorized the county school
board to negotiate a loan of
$4,000 to pay interest on bonds
due yesterday and to pay teach
erS' salaries, also due yesterday.
The county board had refused
to authorize the loan at its meet
ing Thursday night because of
the failure of the school board
to present a statement of its
finances. in view of irregularities
which State auditors claim to
have found in the school fund.
Neither the superintendent of
schools, Fletcher M. Kemp, nor
members of the school board ap-
peared at Thursday nights meet
ing.
The statement, however, was
presented to the county board
last night after the latter had
refused to authorize the loan.
The school board had originally
asked for $5o,00O loan, asserting
there was a balance of only
$4,000 in the school fund.
County Treasurer Charles T.
Jesse told the board today, how
ever, that there was a balance
of $4,000.
Thomas N. de Lashmutt, chair
man of the school board, was
summoned by the sheriff to ap-
pear before the board and ex-
plain the discrepancy in the
figures, but he did not answer
the summons. The board sent
notice to authorize the loan of
$4,000.
In it's statement, the school
board asks for an immediate loan
of $4,000, and details expenses
for the remainder of the year at
$65,742.

was regarded by Crisp as real
threat to a balanced budget.
Paper Money As Alternative
To meet this argument back
ers of the cash nayment propose
to pay it by issuing paper money
instead of bonds.
The new tax bill, as passed by
the House, is calculated to raise
$1,032,00O,000 by taxation; $500,
100000 is to be saved by slash
ing appropriations and $30,500,000
more added by miscellaneous
postal rate boosts.
This would balance the antici-
pated deficit in 1888 and leave
surplus of about S21. 100000, it
is contended.
Under revised Treasury esti-
mates, the bill would balance the
budget if Congress effects econo-
mics totalling $155,0O0,0O0.
Tax Boosts Listed
AS passed, the measure raises
maximum income surtaxes to 40
per cent, estate taxes to As per
cent. imposes a gift tax with a
maximum of 331a per cent, raises
firSt-class postage from 2 to 3
cents, imposes an excise tax on
imported oil and coal, levies $75,.
100000 on stock transfers, and
imposes many miscellaneous sales
and nuisance" taxes.
Senator Reed (R.) of Pennsyl-
vania, has served notice that he
will battle in the Senate for

Imposition of this tax would
make possible elimination of the

WORKERS To AID
CHEST AGAIN

Government employees will be
asked to contribute to the Com,
munity Chest next year in prac,
tically the same manner and
amount as this year, and their
donations will be solicited and
handled in much the same way,
it was indicated this week.
Persons on the Federal and Dis
trict pay rolls were asked to sub
scribe $1,000,000 of the more than
100000 needed by the Chest,
and they pledged $1,012,088. They
already have paid $695,552.99.
A report by Herbert D. Brown,
Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant 3rd, and
Daniel j. Donovan, on behalf Of
the Government workers contrib
uting to the Chest, said:
"The organization of the &C
tivitieS and the methods fol-
lowed, especially in conducting
the annual campaign, have been
improved with each year of ex-
perience. The officials of the
Chest are constantly on the
alert, and it is reasonable to ex-

TRAGIC DRAMA
To HAVE FEW
SPECTATORS
Police Guards Set to Bar Way
to Big Demand for Seats;
DarroW, Stage Manager

HONOLUL I, April =
QN.S.).-In a tiny court
room, holding few score
spectators, one of the greatest
legal dramas in recent years
will begin to unfold Monday.
The cast of characters in
cludes as principals a Wash
ington woman of high social
standing, a naval officer, and
two enlisted men of the Navy.
They are charged with MUIR
der.
In their defense will rise one
of the great criminal attorneys
of the century, now in the sun
set of his career.
Trail of Tragedy
The drama is tinged with
tragedy. A young white woman,
Mrs. Thalia Massie, was brutally
attacked by five men of another
race. Joseph Kahahawai, a half
caste, one of the mer accused OF
the attack, was slain.
Monday her mother, Mrs. Gran
vile 4TorteScue, her husband,
Lieut.. Thomas H. H. Massie; and
two of his devoted service mates,
E. J. Lord and Albert S. Jones,
must stand trial on second de-
gree murder charges. Heading
their defense is Clarence Darrow.
The courtroom is in building
that is the very heart of Hawai-
ian history, the house of the
chiefs, where the territorial legis-
1ature meets, and where January
II, 1898, a committee of white
men met to proclaim a provi-
sional government and abrogate
the monarchy under Queen Liliu-
okalani.
Scene of kidnapping
In anticipation of an over
whelming demand for seats, po-
lice announced today they
planned to throw Gordon
around the old building daily.
The defendants will be escorted
to and from the court by armed
naval guards.
Mrs. Fortesque and Lieutenant
Massie have remained III close
seclusion since the killing of
Kahahawai.
The building housing the court
room has an added significance
for it was on it's steps that Ka-
hahawai was kidnapped Janu.

HANG ON FIGHT
IN SENATE
Missouri Pacific Loan Gets
G. o. P. Leaders Backing;
Watson States Stand

A real battle over the Re-
construction Finance Corpora
tion's policies loomed today
as the Senate divided on the
Couzens bill giving the In
terstate Commerce Commits
sion exclusive authority over
railroad loans.
The bill would strip the cor
poration of its power to make
railroad loans, turn its $400,000,-
600 railroad fund over to the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
and limit the purposes of such
loans.
The Commission could lend
Federal funds to the railroads
only to pay maturities and inter
est on bonds, debentures, or notes.
Senators Get Surprise
The controversy developed from
$12,800,000 loan by the cor
poration to the Missouri Pacific
Railroad. OF which $5,85O.0OO was
set aside to repay a loan to j.
Pierpont Morgan & Company,
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and other
Wall Street financiers.
A number of Senators, incensed
by this use of Government funds,
at first planned to force repeal
of the loan, only to learn later
and to their surprise-that it was
fully authorized by the recon
struction act.
Couzens then sponsored his
measure to take this power from
the corporation. 1t drew some
support from Republicans and
Democrats, but there was a strong
likelihood Administration forces
would oppose it.
Watson Opposes Move
Senator Watson (R) OF In
diana, Republican floor leader,
said:
81 don't believe it's good
thing. ] have great confidence
in the economic wisdom and
administrative ability of Gen
eral Dawes, who heads the Re
construction Finance Corpora
ton.
1--WE gave him ample author
ity to carry out our purpose of

of industry and business.
would hesitate to interfere with
his plans"
Couzens justified the bill by
declaring it would keep the Gov
out of the railroad busi-
ness.

Whcr He Sees Rcd

And when Glass of Virginia suh," sees red something is bound to happen.
 It never has failed. Even when he was a small boy playing base ball he says that what time he was not covering third base he had a bat in his hand waiting for the op- portunity to kill the umpire.
 In this instance Glass felt that Secretary Hyde had both insulted his party and himself. For he was Secretary of the Treasury during the time these loans were being made.
 Ordinarily Senator Glass is a pleasant sort of person. A favori5e pastime when congress is not in session is to return to the Pled- mont section of Virginia, go out to the pasture where he keeps his fine herd of Jersey COWS and sit there and watch them graze.
 Late in the afternoon he calls the sports editor Of his paper in Lynchburg to see whether the Washington baseball team won or lost the game that day.
 But when rlled on the floor of the Senate, he can be just about as ag- gressive as one can imagine.

 Indirectly he likened the Secre- tary's head to that of a turnip in a story he told How many precious hours we waste arguing with tur- nips" was the last sentence of his story. And, AS old Bishop John Early Of Virginia used to say the Senate may note the phraseology and mark the application, he con- cluded.
 It was Glass going strong an aroused Glass, who in by-gone days might have sought satisfaction in some other manner.
