HULL ATTACKS
TARIFF PROBE.
AS DAMAGING

WASHINGTON. April 8 GUP)-
Secretary of State Cold dell Hull said
today that a pending resolution to
authorize a senatorial inquiry into
American imports since 1890 is aim
ed to increase tariffs and wreck
"irreparable damage" upon the ma
tion's wage earnings.
- -. tn Cnairman Pat Har-
rison, D.. Miss, of the senate fin
ance committee Hull said that the
resolution, which is sponsored oy
Senators Henry Cabot Lodge. r.,
Mass. and David Walsh, D. Mass.
obviously is designed to lead to in
creased tariff structure.
The resolution would empower a
senatorial committee to dip into
the effect of foreign competition
with American wage earners under
the r""Scnt TARIFF structure AMI re-
pert its findings for legislation to
correct the situation
1T is difficult to see how the
adoption Of this resolution, if it
eventuated in n tariff raising in
stead Of a tariff lowering program.
could have any other effect than
to iurliCt irreparablc damage upon

Daily Short Story

There, Mr.. Cattrell told him his
job was gone. He said he didn't
know whether Jimmie took the
money or not, but he had his
suspicious.
Jimmie didn't feel so badly be-
cause he had the 20 he had taken
from the wallet and Is more that
Mr.. Cattrell owed him. He went
away from there and got another
and a better job before the day
was over.
Thoughts of Mr.. Katish aSSailed
him. He ought to take his clothes
back to him. But then he started
to bend his reasoning powers on
the problem. To begin with, he
liked the suit. Then, Mr.. Katish
would have no immediate need for
clothes. Jimmie's suit was good
enough for him, and If he wanted
better he could buy them. Jimmie,
therefore, dismissed Mr.. KatiSh
from his mind.
That was an error. Mr.. Katish
didn't mind the loss of his suit
but he got very thirsty while he
waited for the bottle Jimmie had
promised, and was very angry
when Jimmie didn't appear
with it.
After he paid his fine, he went

he knew nothing about the twenty
and he implied that Mr.. Belcher
had very little of that human at.
tribute called gratitude when he
inferred that Jimmie had taken it.
Mr.. Belcher, after a long look at
him, said he wasn't inferring any
thing.
He was hauling off and saying
right out that Jimmie had taken
it. If Jimmie were a smart boy,
Mr.. Belcher pointed out, he would
hand it back to him there and
then because, if he didn't, Mr..
Belcher was calling a cop. Jimmie,
naturally, couldn't do anything but
dare him to call a cop, and Mr..
Belcher acted Immediately on his
suggestion. The cop came and
took Jimmie off to the station
house.
There, Jimmie protested his in
nocence so convincingly that the
cop half apologized. He told jim
mic he had to take him in because
Mr.. Belcher had specifically
charged petty larceny against him.
What Jimmie could do, when he
had proved his innocence, was to
sue Mr.. Belcher for SANDER. Just
one thing cast suspicion on jim
mics innocence. They found a !
twenty-dollar bill in his pocket. 1t |
could have been a coincidence,
but it didn't look like one.
They held him for trial in po-
lice court and, Mr.. Cattrell, being
peeved at such happening in his
gas station, refused to put UP the

MARKET LOWER
IN EXTREMELY
DULL TR A DING
Few Gains Are Recorded
In Sluggish Deals
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, May 16 G.N.S0.
The stock market ruled irregularly
lower today in extremely dull trad
ing. although a modest recovery
from early lows was effected late
in the forenoon.
The market was soft at the
opening, with losses limited to less
than a point through the general
list. Restricted volume made for
narrow swings during the morning,
but starting the second hour
leaders moved up slightly from ex-
IRENE lows.
Motors recovered their losses,
Chrysler and General Motors
settling down at their previous
closing levels after recouping large
fractional losses. Bethlehem and
U. S. Steel reduced their declines
to minimum, as did Anaconda
and Kennecott in the metals.
Trading was colorleSS all the
way, with no group or individual
issue standing out in the liStless
and meaningless movements.
Commodities were generally
soft, although grains managed to
gain fractionally. Cotton lost more
than Is cents bale, while rubber
slipped appreciably among the
minor staples. Strength in traction
liens, particularly B. M. T. 412S,
featured an otherwise quiet bond
market.

and indignant and rather sloppy
in appearance, Jimmie looked like
q put-upon young man and the
judge intimated as much.
II don't find here" he said,
Sufficient evidence upon which to
hold this young man. Let's go
over it. You, Mr.. Belcher, dropped
a wallet containing $128 in bills
in the yard of the garage at
which this young man works. An
hour later you returned to the
garage and this young man handed
you back your wallet which he
said he had picked up some time
after you had dropped it.
when you opened the wallet,
you founder thought you found
twenty dollars gone. You i'm
mediately accused this young man
of stealing it. Now, that is a
grave charge. What you've done
is to call him a thief. Because
you did so, the young man had
to spend a week in a cell. If he
is innocent, you will have leopard
lied his job and taken from him
his freedom. If he is guilty, a
week in a cell is plenty of pun
ishment to pay for the theft of
twenty dollars.
ABSOLVED FROM BLAME
However, don't believe him
guilty. There is not sufficient evil
dence with which to prove that
he stole the money. And I think
the-polce made a grave mistake
in holding him at all. I there
fore discharge him from custody
after absolving him of all blame"
1t had worked out just like
Jimmie thought it would, and he
felt pretty good about it until he
went back to the service station.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1938-05-16

fifty-dollar bail and, as all Jimmie
had was the disputed twenty, they
locked him UP.
Now it happened that the regu-
lar police court judge was Ill and
he stayed that way for over a
week and in that week Jimmie got
to looking Seedy. He could shave
all right, but his clothes got pretty
badly out of press and he looked
as though he could be guilty of
any crime. Two days before his
trial, they cast Edward Katish, a
well-dressed young man of Jim
mics height and build into the
bastille for drunkenness and Ed
ward liked Jimmie on sight.
PLANS TO BEAT RAP
Jimmie liked him, too. Besides,
he admired Edwards nice clothes.
He got the idea that if-he could
wear the mwhen he appeared in
court, the judge would be inclined
by his natty appearance to give
him the benefit of the doubt.
"Mr. Katish," Jimmie said on
the night before his trial, "if you
would let me wear your suit to my
trial, could beat this rap. Then
[ could come back here and re-
turn your clothes. could also
bring you a bottle. and, if I had
the chance, would slip it to you"
THAT" Mr.. Katish agreed, lis
= swell idea. You can have them
light now"
So Jimmie looked real nice next
morning when he stood before the
Judge defending his honor and his
ownership of Mr.. Belcher's twenty.
The judge fancied himself to be
! judge of character. He looked
/ long time at Jimmie. Compared |

looking for Jimmie. He found him
a week later in his new job and
had him arrested for stealing the
suit. The case came before the
same judge who had tried him for
the theft Of Mr.. Belcher's twenty.
There was plenty of evidence in
this case, and the judge was sore.
He gave Jimmie six months in
jail.
