PREDICTS BATTLE
OVER SUGAR TARIFF
American Commerce Cham
ber in Cuba Condemns
i Reputed Rate Schedule.
By the Associated Press.
The American Chamber of Commerce
of Cuba, in a statement yesterday, de
clared the Republican members of the
House ways and means committee, in
"response to the demands of domestic
sugar interests,” have, ‘‘with but four
dissenting votes.” accepted a subcom
mittees recommendation of a world
tariff rate of 3 cents and 2.40 cents on
Cuban sugar.
The ways and means committee,
which concluded its tariff hearings some
time ago, now is considering proposals
for revision of various schedules and
has not officially announced any new
rates.
SubcommiUeemen Named.
The Chamber of Commerce said the
subcommitte that recommended “these
high protective rates was composed of
Representative Timberlake of Colorado,
chairman, in whose State are located
most of the large beet sugar factories
of the West; of Representative Watson
of Pennsylvania and Representative
Bacharach of New Jersey, both high
tariff men.”
“There is every indication now," the
chamber said, “that the great battle in
the Congress that meets April 15 will be
over the sugar schedule. The forces
are being marshaled for it.
Plea to U. S. Consumers.
“Is the American consumer ready and
willing to dump hundreds of millions
into the pockets of a few beet sugar
refineries? That is the question now

The statement cited Commerce De- j
partment reports to show that American ]
business with Cuba is falling off, to the j
embarrassment of American investments i
on the island, and added that the .
Cuban press is beginning to assume a
“critical attitude toward this coun
try that might be disturbing to the
amity so long existing.”

TORONTO. April 10.—A dispatch from

said;
“The department of national revenue
has notified the United States Govern

States officers being stationed on the
liquor docks on the Canadian side of the
Detroit River to observe liquor ship

outcome of the recent conference at
Ottawa between United States prohibi

Canadian revenue and external affairs
officials.
“It is reported here that the Domin

it cannot agree at present to prohibit
liquor clearances from ports on the De

FEAR CAUSES SUICIDE.
Woman Who Leaped From Ship
Thought She Was Ooing Insane.
MIAMI, Fla.,. April 10 .<£>).—Fear of
insanity drove Miss Clara Ella Lang,
45, of Douglas Manor, Long Island, to
dive into the darkness from the deck
of the Clyde liner Shawnee and end
her life at sea Monday night. Investi
gating authorities here reported yester
day.
The fate of the woman, who was
en route to a sanitarium to undergo
treatment for a nervous disease, was
not known definitely until the ship
docked here this morning and a search
of her stateroom made. Two notes in
dicating her intention to commit suicide
because of fear of mental disorder were
found.
Harvard governing boards have
decided that, beginning in 1930, men
will not be admitted to Harvard by
examination in September.
MASKED MEN ROAM
IN JAIL BASEMENT
Cook County, 111., Sheriff Is
Puzzled—Prisoners All
in Cells.
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 10.—Masked men
roaming the subterranean passages of
the new county jail gave Sheriff John
Traeger something mysterious to think
about Monday.
It looked like a Jail delivery at first,
but no one had ever heard of escap
ing prisoners wearing masks. Work
men in the jail basement gave the
alarm, declaring that five men, four
of whom wore masks and one of whom
was armed with a club, “appeared out
of nowhere” in the pump room last
night.
“They lined us against, a wall,” said
Jack Patton, a steamfitter. “One fel
low waved a club and said he would
kill us if we said a word. We stood
there about 5 minutes, then I looked j
around. They had vanished."
Sheriff Traeger explored the tunnels
and passageways under the jail, but
found no trace of any one. He checked
and rechecked the jail roster, and ac
counted for all prisoners.
The sheriff thought he had a clue
when he followed a tunnel, used for
steam pipes, until It came to a trap
door which opened Into the Jail re
ceiving room upstairs, but a grand
piano was atop the trap door, removing
that from consideration.
Still mystified, Sheriff Traeger or
dered extra guards for each cell block
last night.
