President Roosevelt will ask
Congress, probably next week, to
vest him with authority to enter
into reciprocal tariff agreements
with other countries for redction
of rates up to so per cent.
The draft of the resolution
which Mr.. Roosevelt desires Con-
gress to enact has virtually been
completed. It has been written
by the President and Secretary
of State Hull.
The measure would confer
power to the executive only to
decrease rates, not to increase
them, and any agreements SO

under martial law, Gov. Clyde
Herring moved swiftly today
to restore order to this strife
torn district and to bring to
justice a score of belligerent
farmers who dragged District
Judge Charles G.. Bradley
from his court bench and
twice tried to hang him.
Acting quickly on the request
of several private citizens, Gov
ernor Herring issued a martial
law decree early today and rushed
200 troops here under command
Of Col. Glenn Haynes.
Troops on the Scene
Some of the troops, recruited
from State militiamen in this
part of the State, arrived at 10
o'clock.
Colonel Haynes was to establish
his headquarters before starting
sweeping investigation into
Judge Bradley's abduction.
Sheriff R. E. Rippey, whom
Governor Herring described as
weak sister without courage to
enforce the law" continued sep
arate investigation.
He said he had the names OF
members of the farmer mob and
would arrest them "if the militia
doesn't interfere with my work."
Lack the Nerve
Governor Herring said in Des
Moines:
"The state stands ready to do
whatever is necessary to pre-
serve law and order when an
appeal is made by the sheriff.
"The difficulty in matters Of
this kind usually can be traced
to local peace officers, who
haven't the nerve to enforce the
law. There are plenty of good
citizens ready to back them up.
81 have had Rippey up here
to talk over the situation. He
has never asked for State aid,
but when he does he will get it.
"The trouble is that weak sis
tiers haven't the nerve to uphold
the law. That's the trouble as
far as Rippey is concerned"
The martial law territory in
cluded all of Plymouth county and
adjacent territory. The governor
left it to the discretion of Colonel
Haynes to extend his jurisdiction
as far as necessary to keep order.
OBrien county, in which 600
farmers defied 20 special deputy
Sheriffs yesterday to halt a farm
foreclosure sale, is adjacent to
Plymouth county.
Judge Bradley visited the court
house today but remained only a
short time.
Looking pale and worn, he said
he might reconvene court later in
the day if he obtained permis-
sion from military commanders
to resume the court. 1t had not
been decided whether civil courts
would be temporarily suspended.

House Committee Chairman
AssaiIs Treatment of
Patient by Garfield.
DR.. EISEMAN AND CROSBY
URGED TO INVESTIGATE
Public Apology for Calling "Hon-
est, Hard Working Citizen
Drunk Is Demanded.

Chairman Norton of the House Dis
trict Committee today demanded an in
vestigation into the treatment of Eugene
Houghton, 1903 Clifton street, trans
ferred Wednesday night from Garfield
to Gallinger Hospital in police partol
after attendants at the former insti-
tuition had declared him to be in need
of restraint" At the municipal hoSpi-
tai, physicians found the man to be
suffering from a fractured skull, re-
ceived when struck by an automobile
at Fourteenth and Clifton streets.
Mrs. Norton demanded the inquiry in
letters to District Commissioner Herbert
B. Crosby and DR.. Francis J. EiSeman,
superintendent of Garfield Hospital, in
which she condemned "the inhuman
treatment" administered to Houghton,
who was struck by car operated by
Ivor Massey of Richmond, Va.
Says He Was Handcuffed.
In her letter to Gen. Crosby, Mrs.
Norton said Houghton was handcufied
by the policemen and made to sit up
like a. prisoner in the wagon in his
critical condition and driven to Gal
linger Hospital"
"At Gallinger Hospital" she con-
tinued, 1T was stated the man was not
intoxicated. but suffering from frac-
tured skull, and given every care and
attention. He Is now seriously i'll at
this hospital, in private room. with
two nurses in constant attention, and
Mrs Houghton has nothing but words
OF praise for her husbands treatment
at Gallinger Hospital"
The committee chairman requested
that "a complete examination" be made
"of this matter and public vindica-
ton Of this mans character and the
record Of being drunk eXpunged from
the police report"
1T seems to me-" she wrote, "these
men (the police should be able to
determine the difference between a
drunken man and very sick one"
Writes to DR.. Eiseman.
Mrs. Norton wrote DR.. Eiseman as
follows:
This is rank injustice and it is not
the first time I have had complaints
against your hospital I demand that
an investigation be made of the mat
ter and your staff publicly apologize
for having such unpleasant notoriety
published in the local papers concern
ing an honest, hardworking citizen of
the District of Columbia, known to
many for his fine character and charity.
His family, for the humiliation and an
guish they have suffered, may seek re-
dress through the courts but my part
Is to right the wrong done a patient
sent your hospital for medical treat
ment."

No Conclusions Reached at
Executive Sessions on Ap-
preparations Measure.
SPECIFIC RELIEF NEED
PROVISION IS PLANNED
1ncinerators Bring Discussion
Proposal Made to Dump Ref
use on Virginia Shore.

Controversial questions connected
with the District appropriation bill
were considered without reaching any
conclusion at morning and afternoon
executive sessions of the Cannon SUBJ
committee today.
In order to make it clear that no
Federal funds are being appropriated
for unemployment relief in the District
of Columbia, it has been decided that
specific provision be made in the bill
for raising revenues to meet the relief
needs. Alternative proposals were con-
sidered today, one for special a6di-
tional real estate tax, and another for
increasing the tax on intangibles
Chairman Cannon directed that the
wording of these alternative proposals
should be prepared and they will be
considered at another executive meet
ing tomorrow.
u. S. Contribution Discussed.
The amount of contribution from the
Federal Government for its support of
the National Capital is being considered
in determined effort by some men,
bers of the subcommittee to have the
bill include the amount recommended
by the Mapes Committee, $4,000, 900
instead of S7,750,00O as in the current
appropriation act
Another controversial question has
arisen over the proposal to discontinue
the use of the two incinerators, one in
Southeast Washington and the other in
Georgetown. Neither of these is used
full time, and some members of the
committee believe that it would be
cheaper to haul the refuse to the Vir-
ginia shore and burn it on dumps.
Other Opinions.
Other members of the committee
argue that little or nothing would be
saved since the incinerators already
have been installed and are being oper-
ated with only small force There
would be additional cost for hauling
and for dumping privileges besides the
nuisance that would be created at one
Of the main entrances to the beautiful
Ccp-tal so that strong opposition has
da ,loped to the proposed discontinue
a. CT incinerator operations.
Chairman Cannon is having studies
m - and a report prepared regarding
the i-s.amation and cost of operation
OF tie incinerators, as compared with
the cost of disposing of the city refuse
on Virginia dump.
