TEN-YEAR FIGHT FOR CUBAN
MILLIONS ENDED BY DEATH
Joseph E. Barlow Remem-
bered Here for Scene
With Kellogg.
Former Havana Realty Man
Tried in Vain to Obtain
U. S. Intervention.

joseph E. Barlow. who for the past
decade has been a familiar figure at
the State Department here, seeking to
enlist the assistance of the United
States in pressing a claim for s9,000-000
against the Cuban government. died
last night in Havana, according to
word received here today.
The end found him still fighting for
the millions he contended were his
due, although in recent months i'll
health had confined him, to great
degree, to his hotel.
Mr. Barlow, formerly a resident Of
Georgia and Florida, sought to regain
thousands of acres of land around and
in Havana, which were seized by the
regime of former President ZayaS.
The Superior Court Of the Province
of Havana dismissed his petition in
May, 1880, multiplying 100 writS against
more than so persons in his fight for
possession of a suburban tract of about
1000 acres This ended a long series
Of Cuban court actions.
United States Intervention Denied.
Unsuccessful in the courts. he had
sought unavailingly to have the United
States Government intervene in his
behalf. A sizable fortune was spent in
pressing his claim until some time ago
he announced himself penniless. He is
survived by his widow, one son and two
daughters.
His son, William E. Barlow, said his
death was caused by pneumonia and
members of the family added that he
had suffered from malnutrition.
OF fiery temperament he fought for
what he claimed, with vigor. One of the
experiences remembered here by those
who knew him was his encounter with
Secretary of State Kellogg.
Slipping past the guards one day,
Barlow stalked into MIR. Kellogg's pri-
vate Office and addressed him in very
strong language. AS the two men stood
glaring at each other, Secretary Kellogg
ordered Barlow out.
You listen to me-" Barlow shouted
you can't talk to me like that. I've
got something to say to you"

RATES EFFECTIVE MONDAY.
British Double Tariff Duties TO 20
Per Cent.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 22.-Beginning at
midnight next Monday. the British tar
if wall against foreign products goes
up to twice its present height.
The Import Duties Advisory Commit
tee recommended last night that the
duty be raised from 10 to 20 per cent
on almost every kind of manufactured
product imported into the country,
effective at midnight April 25.
On a limited number Of articles the
duty will be Is per cent and for some
articles in the luxury or semi-luxury
classificatlons the rates will be Is and
80 per cent. On semi-flnished steel
goods the committee placed a duty OF
33l2 per cent for thres months, until
it has had an opportunity to fix more
permanent schedule.
When the new rates go into effect the
orders previously issued under the abb
normal importations act. which i'm
posed an advalorem duty Of so per cent
on certain classes of goods, will be re-
voked. Most of the commodities af-
fected will then take the 20 per cent
rate
Included In the 40 per cent category
are most articles Of pottery and glass
Evening star., 1932-04-22

The new tariffs were created by the
British Governments Import Duties
Advisory COMMITTEES, which was in
structed by Parliament to impose addi-
tional duties. according to reports re-
ceived here, for the protection of
home industry upon articles produced
or readily capable of being produced
here In substantial quantities"
Three Importation Acts.
Three abnormal importation acts
were established bv Great Britain dur
ing the latter part of 1881 and they
were followed by a 10 per cent hori-
zontal tariff effective March l last.
Government officials said today the
new decree was expected, inasmuch as
the 10 per cent duty was regarded as
provisional and merely as the begin
ming of new tariff policy
A 1913. per cent duty en- iron and
steel in the new schedule, it was said
here today. would not affect the Ameri-
can industry, but would curtall activi-
ty in Continental Europe, especially in
Germany.
Since the schedules go into effect
Monday, the American exporters will
not have the chance to beat the barrier
such as was afforded them in February
in rushing goods to England prior to
March /, when the 10 per cent duties
went into effect.
Exporters sending goods in under the
new schedule see the possibility OF a
refund. The Tariff Advisory Commit
tee, it was explained, must submit the
new duties to Parliament for approval
and if that body turns them down, re-
funds will be in order.
Export Preferences Aim.
The view in official circles here was
that Great Britain was endeavoring to
use the new duties to improve its po-
sition for bargaining with the rest OF
the empire for export preferences at the
Imperial Conference scheduled for July
| in Ottawa. Success or failure of this
| conference, according to views here
| will have a Preaching effect on the
| future British tariff policy. although a
number of other factors also will be
| taken into consideration.
More than a third of this country's
exports to Great Britain in 1880 were
made up of manufactured products
valued at s224,2l5 900. They compared
! with total exports to that country ir
! 1880 Of S672, 2,l8l 900. If. as had beer
expected by some officials, the new
| duties apply to semi-manufactures ar
| additional IS per cent Of this country;
total 1880 exports to Great Britain, Oh
! Sl00 236 GOO, may be involved.

FRENCH REVISE QUOTAS.
Edge Wins Point in Favor of United
States Exporter.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, April 22.-United States AM
bassador Edge has induced the French
government to revise a number of the
import quotas fixed for American COM
modities, and as soon as Premier Tar
dieu comes back from Geneva they will
resume discussion of the whole quota
system.
1t was learned yesterday that the
Ambassador and the premier had a
very frank talk about quotas be-
fore M. Tardieu went down to the dis
armament conference. The Ambassador
informed the premier that American
business r2en regard the French quotas
as very serious matter and consider
them unfair inasmuch as the American
exporter Is the hardest hit.
He reminded the premier that there
are no restrictions on French goods in
the American market. 1t was indicated
that they might extend the quota dis
cussion into a consideration of the
whole trade policy of France and the
United States.
There is considerable optimism that
the Ambassador would find a solution
Tor his problems.

 In addition to the fact that more complete stocks than ever before are now carried by George Brothers MT. George is convinced that straightforward, consistent adver- tising aided in the increase.

PEPING, June 3.-Secret pa- triotic organizations called into ex- istence throughout China by the Japanese policy in Manchuria and the fighting at Shanghai, are giving officers some puzzhng mo- mentS.
 AS the propaganda and rites of some of these are kept strictly undercover, the authorities are finding it almost impossible to sup press them.
 There is, for example, the Blood and Iron Corps" with headquar- ters at Shanghai and branches in many other cities. It was formed recently to abolish militarism and save the country from Japanese aggression" Its membership is said to be expanding steadily among all classes.
