Connally Opens Fight.
Opening the last three hours of de
bate before the final vote, at 2 p.m..
Senator Connally. Democrat, Texas, said
the farmer was not helped by the legis
lation and he could hope for little re
lief except through the export debenture
plan, which was stricken out of the bill
by the conferees.
“The American farmer,” he said, “is
the most popular individual —at election
time, but after that he loses his popu
larity except for orations In his behalf.”
Connally said the bill “increases the
cost to the people at home and increases
the number of their enemies abroad.”
Asserting the “world is in rebellion
against these taxes of Congress,” Sen
ator Simmons, Democrat, North Caro
lina, contended foreign countries would j
“no longer give us their trade.”
No Help for Agriculture.
“I do not see how this bill can possibly
help agriculture, the most depressed of
all industries," he continued. “The
little help held out for agriculture, will
be manv times offset by the increased
burdens levied on it by the excessive
Industrial rates.”
Senator Robinson, the Democratic
leader, asserted "as a feature of the ad
, ministration's farm relief program the
bill is an abortion.”
“It perpetuates and intensifies in
equalities and discriminations between
• agriculture and other industries,” he
said. “For this reason It violates the
platforms of both political parties.”
Winding up the contest for the Re
publican proponents, Senator Watson,
the majority leader, said:
"If this bill is passed this Nation will
be on the upgrade financially, economi
cally and commercially within 30 days,
and within a year we shall have re
gained the peak of prosperity and the
position we lost last October.”
He assailed Henry Ford and Alfred
F. Sloan, president of General Motors,
for their opposition to the measure, say
ing they both produced automobiles
abroad and “want free trade in those
articles In order that they may com
pete in our market where they pay 50
per cent more wages.”
Final Bill Is Compromise.
The bill as it stood at the final roll
call was not the measure which passed
either House or Senate, but was a com
promise between the two, reached by
conferees of the two houses, as was the
case in virtually all the 20 tariff bills
that preceded it.
Supplanting the Republican Fordney-
McCumber act of 1922, the measure
would raise an estimated revenue of
5630.000.000, or $107,000,000 more than
the existing law based on 1928 importa
tions.
Os 3.218 named commodities and bas
ket clauses comprising the measure,

WINDERMERE, England, June 13.
Maj. Sir Henry O. Segrave, interna

after 5 o'clock this evening from inju
ries he suffered when his speed boat

MORROW VICTORY
ON WEI ISSUE IS
BELIEVED CERTAIN
Republican Drys Hope Fort
Will Win Through Vote
Division.
BY G. GOI'LD LINCOLN,
Staff Correspondent of The Star.
NEWARK, N. J.. June 13—The
nomination and election of Dwight W. j
Morrow to the Senate is New Jersey's
opportunity for a place in the sun.
That is the sincere belief of thousands
of citizens of this Commonwealth almost j
on the eve of the senatorial primary.
Unless the usual political signs fail and
veteran politicians and observers are
at fault, Mr. Morrow will be the nomi
nee of the Republican party.
There is a fight on, however. The
principal question at issue is national
prohibition. Mr, Morrow has declared
himself opposed to national prohibition
and in favor of control of the liquor
traffic by the States. He has declared
emphatically individual States, if they
desire, should have the authority to
adopt prohibition and that they should
be protected in their desire for prohibi
tion. He is opposed to having the Na- !
tional Government undertake, as it has,
to control or to prohibit the manufac
ture and use of alcoholic beverages.
Mr. Morrow has three opponents in
the Republican primary. The first in
the field was former Senator Joseph S.
Frelinghuysen. who formerly was con
sidered a dry. but who during the
present campaign has switched and de
clared himself for a change in dealing
with liquor, favoring a system some
what like that adopted in Canada, where 1
the government has undertaken to act I
as distributor of alcoholic beverages.
Fort Is Real Competitor.
Mr. Morrow's second opponent is
Representative Franklin W. Fort, sup- I
porter of the eighteenth amendment, i
secretary of the Republican national i
committee during the Hoover presiden- j
tial campaign and a close friend of the
President The third entry against Mr. j
Morrow is John A. Kelly of Monmouth
County, a wringing wet.
If it were not for the candidacy of j
Mr. Fort, the nomination of Mr. Morrow
would be a comparatively simple affair.
The Ambassador to Mexico has the sup
port of the Republican organization of
the State, generally speaking. That,
added to his own personality, his repu
tation as a business man and as a dip
lomat, made his nomination practically
sure. With Frelinghuysen and Kelly
espousing the cause of prohibition mod
ification or repeal, along with Mr. Mor
row, the wet and dry issue was insig- j
nificant,. But when Mr. Fort threw j
his hat in the ring as a dry, the situ- j
ation changed over night.
Because of the Fort entry, New Jer- j
sey has become a new battleground j
over which the wet and dry forces are '
waging a desperate struggle. The drys
In the Republican party see a chance,
through a divided vote of the wets, to
nominate their candidate and defeat
both Morrow and Frelinghuysen. They
are leaving no stone unturned to bring
about this end. The Anti-Saloon
League, many of the churches and in
dependent supporters of national prohi
bition have taken off their coats and
gone to work to defeat Mr. Morrow.

MARINE SAYS CREW
OF FAIRFAX ACIEO
WITH EFFICIENCY
Witness Declares Confusion
on Ship Lasted But
Few Minutes.
By the Associated Pres*.
BOSTON, June 13. —Members of the
crew of the steamship Fairfax seemed
fairly efficient and the confusion on
board lasted but a few minutes after the
collision of the Fairfax and the oil tank
er Pinthis in Massachusetts Bay Tues
day night. Harry E. Kipp, Marine ser
i geant, testified today at the opening of
the second day of the Federal inquiry
into the disaster which claimed 47 lives.
Kipp, who had been stationed at the
Boston Navy Yard, was proceeding un
der orders to Norfolk as a passenger on
the Merchants <fc Miners liner Fairfax
when the ship drove her bow into the
oil tanker a few miles off Scituate.
Immediately after the crash, Kipp
said, he came out of his cabin, on the
port side, to find smoke and flames
cutting off the first exit and he had to
dash for another. As he arrived on deck
| there seemed to be some confusion, but
; it was brief.
The Marine said he saw several man
and woman passengers and members of
the crew jump into the sea, and he saw
one lifeboat filled with colored men, ap
parently of the crew. They were sitting
quietly, however, and not making any
1 effort to lower the boat. Some time
\ later, possibly an hour and a half after
the collision, he said he saw another
lifeboat filled with passengers.
Helped to Fight Fire.
He was joined on deck by Sergt.
Hutchcroft, also a Marine, and the two
helped to fight the fire, which caught
from the flaming oil shot out by the
tanker after it exploded from the col
lision. He said he was not one of the
Marines who helped to repair the radio
antenna, which witnesses at the in
quiry yesterday testified was melted
away by the oil flames and later re
paired.
Kipp praised the work of the nurses
and women who helped care for the
Injured.
A. J. Powell, third officer of the Fair
fax, went back on the stand today at
his own request.
Powell appeared yestprday with a
large bandage across his upper lip, but
denied he had been hurt in the colli
i sion. Today, he reiterated his denial.
Hoover asked him a number of tech-
I nical questions about preparations for
launching lifeboats.
Others Take Stand.
Miss Nellie Todd, an entertainer on
the beat, said there was no trampling of
passengers and little disorder. She said
the crew behaved well and that she
saw one colored waiter going about
breaking open cabins and assisting pas
sengers in getting out.
Miss Doiothy Mannix. a nurse on the
ship, told of her efforts to quiet pas
sengers and of rendering aid to those
who were hurt.
Miss Jane Stone of Washington, chief
stewardess on the Fairfax, told of as
sisting Mrs. Ida Berkowitz, 22, of Bos
ton and her son Robert. Both Mrs.
Berkowitz and the child died at the
Carney Hospital from burns and the
effects of smoke.
Mrs. Berkowitz refused to enter a
lifeboat until a lifebelt had been placed
| around her child, Miss Stone testified,
i She described the difficulty with which
she cared for the injured woman.
William M. Smith, chief steward of
the Fairfax, opened his testimony by
saying that “nothing in the world could
have been done that was not done.” He
said he had charge of 43 members of
the crew, including stewards, waiters,
the nurses and entertainers. Eleven

DISTRICT FUND BILL
IS THOUGHT DOOMLO
AS CONFEREES SPLIT
Attempts of Senate to Reach
Agreement by 70-30 Com
promise Fail.
1930 CONSTRUCTION
HERE FACES DEATH
School, Street, Road, Water, Sewer,
Grade Crossing and Other Proj
ects Would Be Killed.
The District appropriation bill for
the fiscal year beginning July 1 ap
peared doomed today when the Senate
and House conferees parted at noon
after another futile effort to compromise
on the amount of the Federal con
tribution.
When the conference adjourned, a
report was being drafted for presenta
tion to the Senate and House stating
that after a full and free conference,
the managers on the part of the two
houses have been unable to agree.
This means that unless some un
foreseen development should occur, the
regular appropriation bill will fail and
Congress will have to put through a
continuing resolution to take care of
the routine operating expenses of the
Municipal Government. Such a reso
lution, however, would not permit of
any new construction work of any kind.
House Decline* Compromise.
The Senate conferees made two prop
ositions this morning, either to ompro
mise with the House on the lump sum
at. some point between the House flgurp
of $9,000,000 and the Senate figure of
$12,000,000. or to adopt a new ratio
of 70-30 for apportioning the cost of
running the National Capital between
the District and Federal governments
Both propositions were turned down by
the House conferees.
Emerging from the conference room.
Senator Bingham, Republican of Con
necticut, chairman of the Senate group,
said:
“The Senate offered to compromise
cn the lump sum and was told the
House conferees refused to increase it
over $9,000,000 The Senate conferees
also offered to fix a new ratio of 70-30
and that was refused.”
Senator Bingham said the Senate
conferees would submit to the Senate
a report of their inability to reach an
agreement with the House.
The Connecticut Senator said that a
continuing resolution would have to
originate in the House.
Representative Simmons. Republican,
of Nebraska, chairman of thp House
conferees, said as he left the confer
ence:
“It’s over forever, as far as I am
concerned.”
Right Bark at Start.
Asked if any headway had been made
at, the meeting. Mr. Simmons added
that "We are rijght where we were when
we first went into conference.”
The formal report setting forth the
failure to reach an agreement had been
prepared, but had not been signed by
all of the conferees at noon. It will
not be filed in the Senate until It has
been signed.
This was the first time the conferees
had been together during the past two
weeks, having reached a deadlock at the
previous meeting over the fiscal rela
tions item. During that interval, both
Senator Bingham and Representative
Simmons made speeches in their re
spective Houses, upholding the posi
tions taken by the conferees, and there
was little hope of obtaining an agree
ment when hey went back into confer
ence this morning.
The Senate conferees have been of
the unanimous opinion that the steady
increase in the total annual cost of
running the National Capital since the
$9.0C0,000 lump sum was adopted in
1925 justifies an increase in the Federal
contribution. The House conferees
have been equally firm in contending
that $9,000,000 is sufficient.
Senate Urge* Compromise.
The position of the Senate conferees
has been that where the two branches
of Congress take conflicting views on a
question, the solution should lie in a
compromise between the two points of
view. There are no indications, how
ever. of obtaining a compromise at this
time.
When the District supply bill went to
conference. It carried approximately
$44,000,000. This figure represented
manv important new projects in addi
tion to the routine operating expenses
for the next 12 months.
It covered a long list of street im
provements, a program of school con
struction. money for elimination of an
other railroad grade crossing, a sub
stantial amount for continuing the Mu
nicipal Center and other new work,
none of which could be done under a
continuing resolution.
Senator Jones. Republican, of Wash
ington, chairman of the Senate appro
priations rommittee. and Representa
tive Wood, Republican, of Indiana,
chairman of the House appropriations
committee, conferred with the conferees
at the meeting today.
The Senate conferees are Senators
Bingham of Connecticut, Phipps of
Colorado. Capper of Kansas, Glass of
Virginia and Kendrick of Wyoming.
The House managers are Representative
Simmons of Nebraska, Holladay of Il
linois, Thatcher of Kentucky. Collins of
Mississippi and Cannon of Missouri.
If the District appropriation bill does
not pass at this session of Congress and
a continuing resolution is passed, the
net effect would be that no new con
struction of schools, streets, roads, sew -
ers. water mains, fire engine houses or
police stations or any other description
of new construction work, including
bridges and grade crossing elimination

Replying to the Senate foreign
relations committee assertion of
Its right to the London naval
papers, Secretary Stimson wro’a
today to the eommittee it should
base its treaty action on the
language of the treaty itself.
The Secretary of state acknowl
edged the commi’tee's resolution
in a brief letter to Chairman
Borah. He made no mention of
forwarding the exchange of notrg
among the powers leading up t<j
the London par!e\. The commit
tee resolution did not demand tht
papers.
Accepting the incident ?< closed,
Senator Borah called another
meeting of the eommittee for
Monday, when he hopes to get ac
tion on the treaty.
There were indications that (•'’rr*
commute'men would seek to deft
action because of the refusal of Pre.J

turn over the note but it was appairs
that a majority wouid vote for imme

Sumson’s letter, dated yesterday
as follows:
Dear Snator Borah:
‘1 have received your favor of todaf
transmitting a copy < i a resolution or
the committee on foreign rrla’lons m
respect to letters and documents in th«
recent negotiation of the treaty.
■ I did not. in my letter :o you of

the Senate or the scope of its powers
in passing upon treaties. My statement
in tint letter that‘the question whether
tnis treaty is or Is not in the interests
ol the United Sacs and should or should
not hr ratified by the Srna*e must in
Urn la-u event be determined from th«
language of the document itself and
not from extraneous matter’ was in
tend'd to rah attention to the fact that
the obligations and rights arising from
the treaty, as in the rase of any other
contract. must be measured by Uae
language of the document itself.”
Confers With Moses.
President Hoover called in Senator
Moses, Republican. New Hampshire, to
day for an hour's conference. Senator
Moses has lined up with the opposition

asserting a claim to the London notes.
The New Hampshire Senator declined
; to eomment upon his White House visit
j as he left the President.
! However, despite the prospect of an
i attempt to stop action on the treaty be
i cause of the President's refusal to turn
j over the London documents to the com
\ mittee. it was believed today both at
the White House and at the Capitol
I that the pact would be reported to the

Johnson's Comment.
| Senator Johnson. Republican, Cali
, fornia, who asked for the exchange of
I notes prior to the London parley, of
fered the following comment on Secre
tary Stimson's letter:
‘‘Obviously the learned Secretary of
State was unfortunate In his expres
sions. In his prior communication ho
said the question whether the treaty
is or is net in the interests of the*
United States and should or should
j not be ratified by the Senate must in
I the last event be determined from tho
! language of the document itself and
j not from extraneous matter.
"By every rule of construction, this
language would seem to imply that In
the matter of the ratification of a treaty
by the Senate the Senate in the last
event is limited to the document itseif
and no extraneous matter coufci be con
sidered. Now the distinguished Secre
tary of State says he was merely calling
attention to the fact that obligation*
and rights arising from the treaty must
be measured by the language itself.
"While the explanation may not be as
elear and as bright as the noonday sun
I'm delighted that the declaration of
policy enunciated by the foreign rela
tions committee is neither controverted
nor denied. We may accept as settled
now the rights of the Senate in the con
sideration of treaties as defined in th*
resolution of the eommittee on foreign
relations.”

By the Associated Press.
MANSFIELD. Ohio, June 13.—Tha
threat of swinging clubs and tear gas
bombs had restored order at the Mans
field Reformatory today after a sec
ond outbreak within less than two
weeks, during which guards beat the
ringleaders of 1,500 howling, milling
inmates into submission.
The latest disturbance occurred dur
ing the “big supper” hour late yester
day. when 1,700 prisoners in the dining
room became noisy, tipped over tables
and hurled their stools around. Two
hundred of the inmates filed outside,
apparently with the intention of avoid
ing injury rather than attempting
escape.
