Washington, Jan. 9.-(P)-Charles
G. Dawes left politically alert Wash

over a sudden announcement Of re-
tirement as ambassador to Great
Britain.
The simple and unexpected state
ment of the former vice president
that he was going back soon to run
his bank at Chicago startled political
leaders and close friends here, who
are ever mindful of the approaching
presidential campaign.
Dawes left his announcement here,
to be given out some time after his
departure for Chicago Friday night,
in the surprise manner so character
istic of the picturesque ex-army gen.

He said he was going ahead as
chairman Of the American delega-

conference but that he would only
stay there until the general work
which our government has In mind

remain, he said, to complete tech

There was no mention Of President

that the door was open to him so far
as the 1882 presidential campaign is
concerned.

F0RDNEY, AUYHOR0F
TARIFF BILL, dies
Former Congressman From
Michigan coIIaborated With
Mccumber in Act

Saginaw, Mich, Jan. 9.-F}-Jo-
seph Warren Fordney, member of
congress for "a years and co-author
Of the Fordney- McC umber tariff. of
1921. died at his home here Friday.
He was 70 years old. - 4. Z Z.
He had been in Ill health for
months, but death was caused by an
attack Of erysipelaS. Which develop
ed Sunday. He had been in virtual
retirement since 1928.
Entering congress after two years
as city alderman at Saginaw, where
he built up a fortune In the timber
business. Fordney, during his "a years
in the lower house at Washington
came to be known as one OF the most
ardent "protectionists" in the nations
history.
A conservative republican always,
his name is remembered in connection
with the Fordney Met umber bill of
1921, which he drafted in collabora-
ton with Senator Porter ]. McCum-
Der of North Dakota. Fordney con-
sidered the bill, enacted shortly be-
fore his retirement from congress. a
monument to q determined tariff
fight during his entire legislative car
Ger.
At the time of his retirement, March
4, 1923, he had spent nearly third
Of his life in Congress. AS repre-
sentative Of the eighth Michigan dis
trict, he was reelected II consecutive
times. In only one campaign was the
result Of his race in doubt.
A protective tariff on lumber was
one of his planks in his first congress
sional campaign In 1898. and Fordney
continued his battle for protection of
American industries to the end. He
believed in tariff high enough to
suit every American producer, and In
unrestricted distribution Of positions
to those faithful to the party. The
former he considered the keystone OF
his policy; the latter he believed vi
tai to the perpetuity Of the party.
Born In Blackford county, Indiana.
on November 5. 1853, Fordney lived
on q farm with his parents until he
was l6 years old. When the family
moved to Saginaw in 1869. the youth
became interested in the timber busi-
ness, the chief industry Of the region.
After his marriage at 20 to Miss Kath-
crime O'Hearn, he obtained the back
ing Of a capitalist and eventually
added lumber mills and yards to his
holdings. He was considered wealthy
when elected to Congress.
After serving on the powerful ways
and means committee, Fordney believ-
ed he had reached the zenith Of his
career when he was made chairman
Of that body. In that capacity he had
much to do with the framing OF laws
during the first session Of congress
under the administration Of President
Harding.

passed out because Culbertson, with
good cards. refused to bid, saying he
could not then lose the match.

So stirred was she that she tried to
make game herself on the second
hand Of the rubber at three no-trump

came to life for his favorite partner.
In q contract for four hearts he made
five, having 100 honors. On the next
and last hand Of the series he con-
tracted for five diamonds and took
IL tricks. AS q result, Mrs. Culbert-
son, who had entered the nights play
with a plus Of only l55 points for the
50 rubbers she had played. finished
with lead Of 365 points for 50 rub
bers.
Lenz and Commander Winfield Lig-

rubbers but failed to take full adj
vantage OF their possibilities. Lig-
gett, who entered the match when o.
wald Jacoby quit as Lenz's partner
because Of a dispute over psychic bids

took part.

With that Culbertson disagrees.
After the match LEM commented
the cards spoke for themselves, and
that there was little difference in the
