NEW TARIFF BILL
UNDER HOT ATTACK
IN THE SENATE
Increase in Food and Clothing
Costs Seen by Leaders in
Proposed Measure.
TO BOOST SUGAR COST.
Underwood and Simmons
, Show How G. O. P. Plan Is
Aimed at All Consumers.
(Special From a Staff Correspondent
of The Fvaning World.)
WASHINGTON, Fob. 1. Seldom
ftaa a measure ponding before tha
Senate been shown up so clearly la
In light of a scheme to tax the Amer
ican people tor tbo benefit of special
tiDtcreots aa was the so called "emer
jrency" tariff bill In the debate yester
day afttrnoon. The bill was stripped
of Its pretense of aiding tho farmers
to recoup thedr losses and branded as
b plan to save certain manufacturers
and hoarders of commodities' from tho
effect of foIHog prices by Invoicing
the taxing power of tbo Government
io levy tribute on the consumers.
The announcement by Senator Pen
rose that he would ask for a cloture
Wednesday to shut ofl debato precipi
tated a discussion that lasted all the
afternoon and brought bitter denun
ciation of the plan to railroad a bill
through tho Sonato which levies a
Jieavy dHrcct tax on the American
reakfaot table and on wearont of
clothes or shoos. The attack Brew so
hot that Senator Penrose left the
chamber early.
Most of tho attack came from the
Temocrat!o side, although Senator
Borah, Republican, who corned from
Che sheep raising Stato of Idaho, asked
some questlonn, which were embar
rassing and confusing to backers of
tho "emergency' bill. Senator Under-
irood of Alabama, author of the Un- I
tlerwood Tariff Law and recognized I
as having a fund of tariff information
qual to that of any man in Con
gress, gave tho "protectionists" a '
snoot uncomfortable time. ;
3MOOT ADMITS PRICES WILL BE
HIGHER.
He drew from Senator Smeot ono
f the leading proponents of tho bill
n tho Republican side, the admission
xbat tho Immediate effect of the bill
would ixt to increase the cost to the
consuming public of the commodities
mentioned therein, which aro about
IMrty in number. .
Underwood warned New England
Bcnators that their industries couM
sot live under a law which places
prohibitive duties on raw materials
from Europe Senator McLean, Re
publican, of Connecticut, challenged
this statoment with the assertion
that tho woollen mills of New Eng
land witl not be hurt by this ten
months' prohibition of imports, as
ithey have enough raw wool on hand
to la3t two years.
Whco Senator Borah, having his
Western wool growers in mind, leaped
Jo his feet and asked if this were
inie how would the sheep raisers of
the West benefit by a ten months'
prohibition of Imports, Republican
Senators realized that the Connecti
cut Senator had "fumbled the balL"
McLean's discomfttaro as he tried to
txpla:n that he thought tho lcgisla
tion might bo of "soma help" to tnLrlotor, who is an old friend of tho
Western era by preventing their in
dustry from being wiped out entirely
,au.ied laughter to sweep through tha
onambcr, even the Republican Sena
tors Joining in the merriment.
Senator Borah confessed that the
explanation which Senator McLean
tried to offer was too Intricate for him
to understand, although he could
i-eadily nee why tho New England
cloth manufacturers, with a two
years' supply of raw material on
hand, wouM enthuso over the plan
'o uhut off further imports until they
have sold their present stocks at
Toratly Increased prices with the
high tariff rates as the basis.
TAXES TO INCREASE THE COST
OF LIVING.
"We are going to use tho great
taxing power of tho Government to
increaso the cost of living to tho
American people, if this bill becomes
la.w," said Senator Underwood. "It
'j to bo enacted, not to raise taxes,
I .mt to boost prices for the Sugar
" Trust, the Woollen Trust and the
trusts controlling those various com
modities, and you demand a gag rule
because tho dobts of a political party
must bo paid. v
Tills Tariff Bill embraces the
principle that certain people should
be singled out of all the people in the
United States and the Government
. :ould stand between them and their
louses. It presents an economic Is
uue that goes to the very foundation
jf the Nation. This Mil Is not only
contradictory of every principle that
has over been advocated by tho Dcm
cratlo Party, but tt Id 'contrary to
the policies and practices pf the Re
publican Party. The Republican
Party may have stood, as the result
of their legislation in the past. In
favor of a prohibitive tariff law
they did on many Items lut this Is
the, first time in tho history of tho
Government that I know of when tho
leadcr-liip of the Republican Party
iao nropoaed lo erect that wall, not for!

Mrs. Warren G. Harding to-day
gavo to tho newspaper roportero of
this city and a squadron of photog
raphers tho interview, and tho oppor
tunity to make her portrait that she
promised yesterday. It was the first
Umc ehe had consented to do this
in.i ix-hon th moment arrived she
was obviously nonplussed by the num-
ber 0f newspai!r representatives and
camera men who waited upon her.
She" was a bit nervous, too, under the
questioning which naturally followed
the meeting.
By arrangement the reporters and
photographers met in tho lobby of
the Ritz-Carlton and after waiting a
while, A. P. Moore, Miss Lillian Rus
uiv Hiinbaml and a newspaper pro-
Hnrdings, appeared as major aomo
of the proceedings.
First he handed out to all tho re
porters cards with the request that
they write their names and those of
their papers as a means of Introduc
tion to Mrs. Harding. When theoe
liad been collected, Mr. Moore an
nounced: "It is to be understood that
no questions are to be asked of Mm.
Harding," and then led tho way to
tho twelfth floor where Mrs. Har
ding's suite Is situated.
Thirty-five reporters und more than
a dozen photographers wen; mar
shalled in a sort of lobby at the end
of tho hallway near the elevators.
There Harry Barker, the Secret Ser
vico man who is accompanying Mrs.
Harding on her travels, said that the
photographers would bo tho first to
be admitted. "All pictures which are
not good likenesses of Mrs. Harding,
aro to be destroyed," he announced.
As thero was agrcomcnt upon this,
tbo photogmphcrs were cocorted down
the hall and remained at their camera
task for half an hour.
Then came the turn of the reporters.
Barker acted as cicorone, ranging the
representatives in lino and pausing
thorn In to Mr. Moore, who stood
ready with the cards In hand. Mrs.
Harding wns standing at one side of
the raom, and for tho sake of feml
nlno readers, this Is what she wore
tho description verbatim from one of
her sex:
Her hair, carefully marcelled and
netted, was somewhat after tho stylo
affected by Miss Elsie Ferguson, the
actress. Her gown was a black
satin afternoon dress, the bodice in
surplice stylo loose panel back from
tho shoulders caught at the waist
line, the skirt with panel at the side,
slightly bouffunt. The gown was em
broidered with stoel beada. The
sleeves were tigt at tha wrijt, with
a sllnrht oxtenrxn above the writt
Her skirt was unusually lonsr, falling

isto collar and abovo it u diamond-
atitldod collar, Mr. Harding's Christ'
mas gift It was a deep band of black
velvet finished at the front and back
with platinum and diamond clasp,.
Tho central ornament was composed
of numerous diamonds set in platinum
in a sunburst pattern with tour corner
ornaments of platinum holding dia
monds. But to get back lo the Intorrtow:
As the reporters were Introduced by
Mr. Moore, through reference to the
cards, Mrs. Harding made comment
of some kind upon each of tho papers
sho recognized, adding to tbo as
samblago in general:
"I am very much interested in hav
ing you come hero. Wo'ro nowspapcr
people, you know. I'm here Just for
a rest. I know of no placo ono can
rest better than hero. I came here
not to gtve lntervlowo; Mr. Harding
will do that."
One of the women reporters, an
okl friend of Mrs. Harding's re
marked that she had always known
Mr. Harding would bo President
some day.
Mrs. Harding Tou had more con
fidence than we. Wo nover thought
this would come into our lives. But
(turning to Mr. Moore) I cannot talk
to these people. Won't you apeak for
me?
Mr. Moore Mr3. Harding loveo all
of you.
Mrs. Harding Yos. I lovo all

Mrs. Harding (convincingly) I
certainly have! But It is essential for
me to have rest. It isn't unusual for
mo to come to Now York, but this
timo it's different. I am not thor
oughly reconciled to It all. When I
go around I wonder what It Is all
about. I havo been In public llfo for
twenty years, (but this In very dif
ferent. Mr. Moore (Interposing) Mrs.
Harding has been through quite an
ordeal with the newspaper photog
raphers. She said to them that sho
didn't bcllevo they could tako a good i
picture or nor, tnougn tney asurtd
ner tnat iney were now xoric pnoiog
graphers. Just here tho suggestion was made
that Mrs. Harding sit to a profes
sional portrait photographer or a
painter.
Mrs. Harding (with a disapproving
gesture) I've never understood peoplo
placing thomBolvcB before cameras.
As for mysolf, they never scorn to get
my mouth. I don't know what's
wrong with U. And as for what's
publ shed about me; I read things I've
never known: And yet I've lived
with myself for a great many years.
Ono of tho Reporters What are
your plans while her?
Mrs. Harding I havo formed co
definite plans. I'm going to do as 1
please. I've never done It bofors
and I'm going to try.
Another Reporter What do you
believe to bo the proper length of

Mrs. Harding (a?pparently not
pleaned) I couldn't tell you. that.
Still Another Reporter As the
First Lady of the Land, the women

Mrs. Harding (with marked voho

Lockwood Committee Counsel
Dispels Lyman's Fear of
Justice Court Act.
ARsurance that tho Bmergtncy Rent
Laws will stand fire and there la no
danger that the Justice Court Act wlil
repeal them April IS. a fear ex
pressed by Assemblyman Lyman,
was given to-day by tamer O. Bam
mis, counsel to tho Lockwood Com
mittee on Housing.
Aasutijuiycnun Lyman aald ho had
dlscoiorcd a law transferring opera
tion of summary proueeainigs to dia-'
posrtCKS to the Justices' court Act,
panned by the Legislature at the last
foguiar somion. Tins would auto
matically put the Jmergency Heat
Lawn out of business, lie proposed
any necessary remedial legislation b
rushed through the present session.
Mr. tfammla, after telephoning Sena
tor Lockwood in Albany, laued the
following atatemcnt:
"Araiemblyman Lyman's contention
tho Justice Court Act repealed the
rent laws Is without foundation. The
Justice Court Act was pemtcd in Ma),
1920; the rent laws were passed
September, 1920. It is not necessao
in order to repeal an act, although
It Is often done, to specifically state
the act Is repealed by the subsequent
amendatory legislation.
"In the rent law's the Intent of
the Legislature was unmUtalciubly ap
parent. By reference to t&e old
statute In the same form aa the Jus
tice Court act. the law was definitely
amended and changed. Later repeal
of a law by an additional statute oft
amendment Is Implicated by such ad
ditional statute or amendment It
theo Is any conflict between them,
the later act controls.
"The emergency Rent laws contain
the direct statement that they shall
remain In effect for two years. This
will govern any previous statutes."
