What's i'm Fashion?
Lamp VIII Brighten Her Face
Directed Rn AMOS PARRISp
Directed BIZ PARRISE

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-Is she 60
- ing to groan, @Oh, another
lampi' when she unwraps your
gift? Or, will her face brighten as
she says, How smart! And so diff
ferent?" It's up to you.
Surely, it is easy this year to find
lamps that are different, smart ana
exactly suited to the room they're
to be used in.
And to prove it, here are four
lamps sketched which certainly fill
that bill.
The most different is the one
made Of a ships lantern with map
design on the shade. Fine for a
mans den or a library where maps
and aliases abide.
Made of Waterford Glass
That new Waterford-cut glass
lamp is perfect for a Colonial set
ting. These can be tied up with
the color scheme Of the room since
they come in amber, crystal, ruby,
cobalt blue or white milk glass.
Miniature copies of larger table
lamps are newest for a vanity or
dressing table. Urn vase or column
shapes are smartest; and the lamp
sketched at the top is one of the
last named type. A pair of these
would make a perfect gift.
Then for the child's room is
shown a lamp whose pedestal is
a Mother Goose figure carved from
wood. And how the youngsters
love them!
Reflector Lamps Good
One of the new reflector floor
lamps will surely appeal as diff
ferent. They look like a regular
floor lamp but are equipped with
two kinds of lighting, to be used
as you prefer a glass bowl
that throws light up as well as
down, and three candle lights for
times when direct lighting is
wanted.
Urns and vases of porcelain,
alabaster, pottery and metal are
handsome in formal rooms. Squat
pottery shapes and quaint metal
oilfcnt types are in the spirit of in
formal, provincial rooms.
White lamps are still the favorite
decorative note. But soft green,
yellow and blue, notified brown a |
gold are excellent when a note of
color is needed in a room. The
newest white lamps have touches OF
gold in the base or shade.

VANDENbERG CALLS
FOR COPPER TARIFF
Michigan Senator Declares
1t Is "Matter of Life
and DEATH"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A tariff on copper was described to
the Senate today by Senator Vanden-
berg, Republican, Michigan, as "a mat
ter of life and death"
"It would be nothing short of GRIM
inal neglect for Congress to adjourn
without equalizing competition in cop
per and making it possible for sturdy
American communities to survive,
Vandenberg said
Defends Present Act.
The Senator took the floor as de-
bate was resumed on the Democratic
tariff bill to strip the President of his
tariff making powers.
He defended the Hawley-Smoot law,
contending conditions would have been
worse in this country without that tariff
law. He declared unemployment would
have been materially greater with lower
tariffs.
And in some cases." he added, 1--WE
cannot escape further tragedy without
additional tariffs.
This may be true of oil. I know it
is true of copper. 1t is true Of copper
under both Republican and Democratic
tariff philosophy"
Vandenberg said at least IA State
Governors had petitioned the Senate for
tariff on copper.
Urges United Support.
There can be no criticism of Dem
ocratic Senators who join in the de-
mand for tariff on copper under such
circumstances" Vandenberg said, "and
no excuse for Republicans who don't"
The copper crisis. he said, had de-
veloped from African competition since
the enactment of the Hawley- -Smoot
law and the copper industry can be
saved by nothing except a tariff

PLOT TO AbDUCT
ARCHBISHOP Barred
BaniShed Mexico Churchman
Placed Under Guard
in San Francisco.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 2s.-Arch-
bishop Francisco Orozco Jiminez Of
Mexico was under guard here today,
while police investigated an alleged
plot to kidnap or assassinate him.
The guard was thrown about a Cath
olic Dominican Fathers priory, where
Archbishop Orozco is guest, at the
request Of Very Rev. Edward ]. Whelan,
president Of San Francisco University.
Father Whelan told police he had
heard OF the plot from a Spanish
speaking priest who had, in turn, been
advised of the alleged danger to the
archbishop by a Mexican member of
the church.
The identity of the Mexican, police
announced, was being kept secret for
fear the supposed plotters might at
tempt vengeance.
Plot Overheard in Store.
Authorities said the informant de-
clared he overheard the plot being dis
cussed in Mexican grocery and bak-
cry operated by two brothers, Mario
GCNIO IndIQuSZ, WHO came mere
from Colina, Mexico, two years ago.
The two brothers, who convinced DO
lice they were not involved, said pic
ture of the archbishop and a story of
his recent banishment from Mexico in
a Mexican newspaper here had caused
much comment among San Francisco's
Mexican population.
I'VE never take part in these DO
litical talks, however" Mario MARQUEE
said, "and I couldn't say If there was
really plot against Archbishop
OroZco."
Returned From Exile.
In 1917 Archbishop Orozco was ac-
cused of scheming against the Mexican
government. He was ourt-martialed
and ordered deported
After some time in exile, he returned
to his diocese at Guadalajara. Two
years ago he was again banished. He
went to Laredo, Tex, but about a month
ago again returned to Mexico. Shortly
thereafter government officials escorted
him across the line into Texas and
ordered him to stay out Of the country.
He was then invited to San Fran
cisco by Father .Whelan and other
members Of the Catholic clergy here.

TRAIN ROBBERS GUN
is FOUND ON TRACK
Passengers Say One Of Pair That
Staged Hold-up May Have
Been Woman.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 28.-A So
caliber pistol and descriptions of two
dapper train robbers, one possibly a
woman, were the clues police today
hoped would lead to capture of the
masked pair who Saturday night held
up passengers on the Los Angeles bound
Southern Pacific passenger train Lark.
The pistol was found on the right
of way, where the robbers jumped after
obtaining $700 in currency and several
articles of jewelry from 80 persons in
the lounge car.
Frank La Tlllipe, laboratory expert,
said an examination failed to reveal
on the gun. Efforts to
trace its ownership continued
One of the robbers may have been
a woman in mems clothes, some pas
sengers said in describing the pair to
officers.
j. w. Horsman, San Francisco, told
authorities the robbers were loud and
profane. Other passengers agreed.
Two Los Angeles detectives were
among the passengers robbed. Their
guns were locked in their suit cases.

EUROPEAN UNION
WATCHED BY i. S.
American Bankers May Be
Asked to Participate in
Danubian Federation.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The State Department and mem
bers Of the diplomatic corps in Wash
ington are watching with keen interest
the efforts to create a confederation of
Danubian states to relieve the eco
nonic distress of Central and Eastern
Europe.
The proposed confederation seems
more likely to be accomplished since
Premier Tardieu of France has agreed
to meet the British prime minister In
London next week to discuss the eco
nomic condition Of Central Europe.
Chancellor Bruening of Germany and
Foreign Minister Grandi of Italy have
been invited to join the conference.
Two Groups Planned.
This proposed confederation, which
may develop into a tariff union, would
include JugoSlavia, CzechoSlavia, Aus
tria, Hungary and Rumania. 1t IS
hoped by Great Britain and France,
the chief movers in support of the eff
fort for economic relief in Europe, that
G similar confederation can be effected
later between Bulgaria, Greece and
Turkey, which form another natural
group for cooperation in the improve
ment Of their economic situation.
The Danubian Confederation is an
effort somewhat similar to that which
prompted the movement to organize a
German-Austrian tariff union. which
was discontinued because of the oppo-
sition Of great European powers. It
is contemplated under the proposed
confederation that Great Britain and
France would make a loan, probably
S50,000,000 to steady the currencies
of the five Danubian nations.
U. S. Banks May Help.
But this loan would be granted only
in case the members of the confedera-
ton reach satisfactory agreement as to
the tariff charges they would levy
against each other and on condition
that the tariff wall against powers out
side the confederation should be Of

MAINE DEMOCRATS
MEET TOMORROW
Uninstructed Delegation Is
neutrality-suspicious.
Convene Thursday.

PORTLAND, Ne, March 28.-Maine
politics this week enters its busiest and,
perhaps its most important week in
many years.
Tomorrow the Democrats open their
two-day state convention in Portland.
Republicans will hold their convention
here Thursday.
Friday the Legislature meets in spe-
cial session.
Five Run for Congress.
There are five candidates in the field
for the gubernatorial nomination of
each party and five candidates for the
Republican nomination for Congress in
the third district.
With the primary election less than
three months off-the vote comes on
June 20-candidates are expected to
start their campaigns in earnest the
following week.
The State conventions will select
delegates to the national conventions
and may if they choose, instruct those
delegates in favor of a particular can
didate for the presidential nomination.
Both parties, however generally have
avoided pledged delegations, although
the Democrats in 1928 bound their del
egates to Houston for Alfred E. Smith.
Roosevelt Favored.
Democratic leaders in the State gen.
orally are favorable to the candidacy
Of Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt of New
York, but have said they would not ask
for an instructed delegation.
Republicans are said by their leaders
to be favorable to Hoover and will send
instructed delegates.
The special session Of the Legislature
has been called to amend the State
gasoline tax law so that the State may
collect the cents a gallon on gaso-
line. The constitutional amendment 10

DECISION REVERSED
IN REALTY SALE SUIT
Groner Upsets Decree of District
Supreme Court in Action Against
W. T. Ballard.

The District Court Of Appeals, in an
opinion by Justice D. Lawrence Groner,
today reversed a decree of the District
Supreme Court dismissing suit brought
by Georgia M. Spruill against William
T. Ballard and others to prevent the
sale of real estate. After the dismissal,
sale was made and the property bought
In by Ballard, it was stated.
The woman said Ballard had declined
to extend the time for payment of a
note, but that after the sale had been
advertised only one day, she rendered
cash for the interest, taxes and cost of
advertisement. The tender was refused
unless commission of S225 be paid to
trustees for services, it was said. This
was declined and the suit brought.
The lower court said there was no
equity in the bill, but Justice Groner
declared the finding was wrong, since
the borrower, being a woman without
business experience and without advice
of counsel relied upon an agent who
attempted to make sale in the dual
capacity of creditor and trustee.
This relationship in ITSELF" said
Justice Groner, created the inflrmity
To hold otherwise would be to indulge
In a credulity in the disinterestedness
of human nature which experience does
not justify"

LONDON, March 28.-British news
papers showed agitation today over
the action of the United States House
of Representatives on the tax bill. and
expressed concern over the possible
effect on the pound of a failure to
balance the American budget.
The speculations were mixed with
comment on what was termed "col-
lapse of pity machinery" in Washing
ton, and What the Times called "an
irresponsible state of mind" in Con-
greSs.
Rise in Pound Feared.
The chief concern, however, was over
the possibility that fall in the dollar
on international exchange might cause
the pound to rise to an unjustif1ably
high level.
Referring to what it called the cir
responsible state of mind" of the House
of Representatives, the Times declared
that If bill providing for payment of
the soldiers bonus also were to become
law ''it is difficult to see how the
United States could remain on the gold
standard or escape initiation even more
disastrous than the present deflation."
The Daily Telegraph speculated edi-
torially upon what it called the star

bodies Of a man and woman, Mrs.
Anna Bait, %, Of Hagerstown, and VIII
liam r. Doughty, 35 of Williamsport,
Md, were found on the Catoctin Coun-
try Club golf course here yesterday and
Mrs. Bats husband, Dewey Bait, was
taken into custody today and held for
investigation by Hagerstown police.
At first the deaths were attributed to
q suicide pact, which was indicated by
two notes found on Doughty, but police
later continued to question Bait when
it was learned, they said, that the couple
was hiding from him in Baltimore for
four weeks while he searched for them.
MotOrist Hears Shot.
A motorist, E L. Brown of Frederick,
told police that while driving on the
road adjacent to the golf course he
heard shot and saw a car turn out
of the road near where the bodies were
found. He gave police a description of
the machine.
One of the notes found on Doughty
requested that the couple be buriet
side -by-side in Hagerstowr;, and the
other, written on the back of postal
card read, He said he'd kill us, so
here goes" The sheriff felt certain the
notes were in Doughty's handwriting
after comparing them with soldiers
bonus certificate found on his body.
Strength was lent to the murder
theory, police said, by the fact that
Doughty possessed hammerleSS revol-
yer, while that found in his hand on
the golf course was Of the type with
q hammer.
The mother Of the dead man, Mrs.
William Doughty, told police she had
sent money to her son and Mrs. Bait

Moberly of Frederick, who had gone
out on the golf course alone. Doughty
lay on the seventh tee and the woman
about 70 feet away. Doughty's revolver
had four discharged sheels in lit. Ex-
animation showed Mrs. Bait had been
shot in the body three times and the
man once in the head.
The two were reported to have been
seen walking along the State road,
three miles out of town, at o'clock
Saturday, by Frank Castle of Williams
port, who passed them in his auto.
Castle said he recognized Doughty and
stopped to ask if he wanted to ride
with him. Doughty refused the ride,
Castle said. but gave him two suit cases
to take to Williamsport.
John ONeal, green's keeper at the
golf club, reported seeing the two about
one-half hour later walk past the club
and turn into a country road leading
to the part Of the course where the
bodies were found.
