BIARRITZ.-The magnificent cars
and enormous suites of the Sultan ol
Morocco and the Maharajah Of Raj
pipla, following so closely on the visit

George, have aroused much interest.
Come and dine and bring II friends

Englishman friend the other day. The
Englishman pointed out that 13 was an
unlucky number Bring 20 friends,
said the Maharajah Immediately.
All these distinguished visitors have

MANCHUKUOF| FIXES
NEW TARIFF WALL
Duties on Chinese Goods to
Become Effective on
September rs.

For the first time in the long history
of China that country has been or
dered by the new Independent state of
Manchukuo to pay duties on products
coming from China proper into its
former possession, Manchuria.
The Commerce Department was ad-
vised today that officials of the pres
ent administration in Manchuria," ef-
fective beginning September rs. are to
assess duties on products coming from
China proper, including Chinese and
foreign goods.
According to radiogram from As
ststant Trade Commissioner Carl E.
Christopherson at Mukden. consioera-
tion will be given goods shipped from
foreign countries by China proper If
duty is paid in China.
Regarded as Logical Step.
Shipments to Manchuria by Japan or
direct to Dairen will be subject only to
duty in Manchuria, the department was
advised. No comment on the assessment
was forthcoming from the department.
However, in other government circles 1t
was said 1t was logical step for Man
chukuo to take since 1t has declared
itself to be an independent country.
Manchukuo is the Japanese name for
Manchuria.
OF course, no record is available here
as to what will be the value of China S
imports into its former possession For
centuries the trade between China
proper and Manchuria has been on a
duty-free basis.
No record is available as to this
countryS trade with Manchuria. Ninety
per cent of Manchuria's imports come
through Dairen Manchuria's total di-
rect foreign trade in 1929 amounted
to approximately 1857 100000 and in
1880, a year of severe depression, to
$225, 900, 900.
United States Share Uncertain.
In addition to direct trade, large
quantities of foreign goods amounting
to approximately IS per cent, was i'm
ported into Manchuria by Shanghai
and other Chinese ports.
1t is impossible, the department said,
to determine the share of the total i'm
ports into Manchuria that came from
the United Staes, but, basing the per-
centage upon figures of Dairen officials,
said it probably amounted to 10 per
cent.
Most of the American activities are
centered around Harbin and the out
look for American trade there has been
dimmed considerably by the events of
the last year. Julian Arnold, COM
mercial attache at Shanghai cabled
the department that military activities
in Manchuria, for the time being at
least, have disrupted seriously the eco
nomic life of this region.

HOWELL BLOCKS
PASSAGE Of
TAX BILL
Senator Makes Point OF Order
on Conference; Electricity
Revenue Altered

Final passage OF the billion
tax bill was blocked in the
Senate today when Senator
Howell (R.) of Nebraska made
a point of order against the
conferees report on the bill.
Howell based his point of order
on the grounds that the conferees
had exceeded their power in
switching the collection of the
proposed 3 per cent tax on con-
sumption of gas and electricity
from the companies to the con-
Sumer.
Originally Reversed
AS the bill originally passed the
Senate the tax was imposed on
the company rather than the con-
sumer.
All the companies were required
to do was to collect the tax from
their consumers. The insurgents
charged this compromise flouted
the wishes of the Senate and was
a violation of conference rules.
All the remainder of the bill,
including the high income taxes,
appeared acceptable to the Sen
ate, since most of its rates were
approved by the conferees.
The income taxes finally
adopted were the 1922. schedule,
which the Senate first wrote into
the bill.
These rates tax the first $4,000
if income 4 per cent and all other
income 8 per cent. The present
law takes the first $4,000 112 per
cent, with the next $4,000 taxed
at 3 per cent and all the rest at
5 per cent.
Exemptions Reduced
The 25 per cent reduction on
earned income was eliminated,
while exemptions were reduced
from $500 to $1,000 for single
persons, and from $500 to $4,000
for married persons. SurtaXes,
which begin with l per cent on
$4,000 now and run to a maxi
mum of 20 per cent. were in
creased to start at ! per cent
on $4,000 and run to maximum
of SIS per cent.
There will be no trouble over
the tariff duties since the Senate
approved all the import taxes now
in the bill. They include tariffs
on oil. gasoline, lubricating oil.
paraffin, coal and coke, lumber
and copper.

REFERENDUM
ASSURED
Resubmission Plank Promised;
James 2. Garfield Picked to
Write 1t for Hoover

The Republican party seemed
headed toward adoption of a
resubmission plank on prohibi-
ton in it's 1892 platform, even
though it alienates the great
dry organizations that helped
elect President Hoover in
1928.
This was the word passed about
today after the Senate's Repub'
lican "elder statesmen" met with
the Presidents advisers at a plat
form conference.
The elder statesmen" appar'
entity agreed to support a resuo'
mission plank, even though dry
organizations have served notice
they will desert Mr.. Hoover next
fall if he runs on q wet platform
Tie text of the tentative plank
as reported by one Of the con-
ferees, reads substantially:
"The Republican party Is the.
party Of the constitution and we
stand for its complete ObSer-
vance and also for the faithful
enforcement of all laws.
OPPOSE SALOONS RETURN
1--WE abhor the saloon and are
unalterably opposed to its re.
turn.
1--WE recognize, however, the
honest difference of opinion re-
garding the Eighteenth Amend
ment and we recognize the right
of the people, who ordained the
constitution, to pass upon any
portion Of that instrument.
1--WE therefore favor the
prompt resubmiSsiOn Of the
Eighteenth Amendment to the
people of the several States,
acting through nOn-partisan con-
ventiOns called for that sole pur-
pose in accordance with the pro-
visions of Article v to determine
whether that amendment shall
be retained, repealed, or modi-
fled"

benefited by the inexperience of
the Naval Academy crew squad here to-
day, registering their second triple
victory at the expense of the Academy
in as many years.
In last-minute shift, Coach Charles
A. Buck" Walsh of the Tars shifted his
varsity and junior varsity crews, the
previous Jayvee aggregation, stroked by
Captain Shelton, being used in the fea-
ture.
The denoted varsity boat, stroked by
Jewett, furnished the thrills when it
fought losing battle with the Orange,
finishing by an eighth CT a length in
the rear after one of the most thrilling
finishes ever viewed here.
PIebes Finish Strong.
Less than length separated the two
Plebe crews in their race, Syracuse be-
ing compelled to battle desperately in
the closing stages to overcome the
steadily gaining Midshipmen.
In the varsity race there were few
signs of threatening gains from the
Navy shell during the latter half. Navy
steadily lost for the first quarter-mile
but at this point gain was made and
at the half f-distance, less than half a
length separated the bows of the two
shells. This was practically the end of
the Navy opposition, however, as SYRIA
cuse picked up steadily and won by a
length and three quarters.
Navy Riflemen Win.
Opening its season, the Navy rifle
team defeated the list Regiment pistol
squad of the New York National Guard.
1928 to 2,214 Just one point shy of a
perfect score in the 600-yard slow firing
was made by Klinksick CT Navy. He
was high man of the day, shooting 242

Young Van, Washington's sensation
al middleweight, is to get the toughest
test of his brief career on this card,

youngster.
Joe Smallwood, who meets Ken Over

a brilliant record. He. has dropped
only one decision in q year.
Benny Schwartz has boxed three
world champions, including Pancho
Villa at Is rounds, Charley Phil Rosen-
berg, IL, and Frankie Genaro Landers'
ability as a socker is well known here.
The Stricken -Fiemster bout has the
fans buzzing. Ffemster. who knocked
Billy Schwartz cold in one round when
it took Bob Goodwin seven, was some
thing of a puzzle to the fans.
Strickler has never been on O local
floor and the fans are curious to see If
