TWO TARIFF BOARD
dominations of O'Brien and
Ornburn Indorsed by
Senate Committee.
the Associated Press.
Without a record vote, the Senate
Finance Committee today approved the
nominations of Robert Lincoln O'Brien.
Massachusetts. Republican, and Ira M
Ornburn. Connecticut. Democrat, as
Chairman and member, respectively, of
the Tariff Commission.
Considerable discussion is expected
to take place on Ornburn's appoint
ment on the Senate floor, although
present indications point to his con
firmation. The principal complaint
against him is that he was indorsed
for the post by Matthew Woll, vice
president of the American Federation
of Labor, who is regarded by the Dem
ocrats as a high tariff advocate.
Indrrsed By Bingham.
Ornburn also hrs the indorsement of '
Senator Bingham and Representative I
Tilson. Connecticut Republicans. The
committee decided to report the nomi
nation favorably without waiting for
the list of indorsements from the White
House, which had been requested bv
Senator Costigan. Democrat. Colorado.
Meanwhile there were indications the
Senate is faced with a real fight next
week on the Democratic tariff bill, ad
versely reported yesterday by the
Finance Committee.
Old coalition forces composed of
Democrats and independent Repub
licans are consolidating behind the
measure, while administration Repub
licans are expected to provide the op
position.
The bill passed by the House revising
the flexible provisions and calling for
an international conference to lower
trade barriers, was rewritten by Senate
Democratic leaders before the com
mittee acted yesterday, but this did not
(diminish regular Republican opposition.
Assailed by Smoot
Chairman Smoot of the Finance Com
mittee issued a statement terming the
measure a "flimsy political gesture.”
To get the measure on to the floor,
Senator Harrison, the committee's rank
ing Democrat, announced he would re
frain from voting. Thus, he permitted
the bill to go out with an adverse
recommendation and without a record
vote. The vote would have been 10
to 9 for an adverse report had the roll
been called.
As rewritten by Harrison and other
committee Democrats, the bill with
draws presidential power to make rate
changes under the flexible clause and
leaves Congress the sole judge of tariff
commission recommendations.

M’BRIDE SLAYING
SOLUTION IS SEEN
iVlan !s Jailed in 10-Year
Prince Georges Mystery
on Private Tip.
By a Staff Correspondent of The 8tar.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md., January
29.—With one man in jail and a state
ment implicating others in their posses
sion, Prince Georges County authorities
today pressed their renewed investiga
tion into the death of Bamey McBride,
wealthy Oklahoma oil man, whose
murder has remained a mystery for 10
years.
Temple Biggs, 33 years old, a farmer
of Camp Springs, Md., was arrested by
Sheriff W. Curtis Hopkins and Deputy
Sheriff Thomas H. Garrison yesterday
for questioning in the case. Biggs is
said to deny any knowledge of the cir
cumstances under which McBride was
killed.
Investigation of McBride's death was
renewed by the sheriff's office after re
ceiving a statement said to name all
the persons concerned in the murder.
The statement was made to a friend
by one of the three men alleged to have
been involved in the murder. The
information was later turned over to
the authorities.
The circumstances and the men in
volved are revealed in the statement,
which gives robbery as the motive for
the murder, according to Deputy Gar
rison.
Sheriff Hopkins and his deputy spent
last night interviewing persons whom
they said verified facts contained in th?
statement. They plan to question Biggs
today. ,,, , _ .
The prisoner, who is a lifelong resi
dent of the county, is not directly con
cerned in the murder, but could give
them important information, Sheriff
Hopkins believes.

At the time of his arrest yesterday,
Biggs was at liberty under bond on a
charge of assault and battery on James
Yantz on December 24. Biggs had
asked a jury trial when arraigned on
the charge in Police Court.
McBride was beaten to death, robbed
of a large sum of money and a valuable
diamond ring and his body hidden in a
culvert near Meadows. Md.. in August,
1922. A large reward for the conviction
of those responsible for the murder was
offered by the dead man's friends, but
no definite clues were ever found by
police.
Friends of Biggs declared yesterday
he was being framed by personal
enemies who had announced they would
"send him to jail for life."

FOUND DEAD IN AUTO
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January 29. — Curious
school children looked inside a parked
automobile yesterday and discovered
the body of Philip (Sonny> Flavin, who
was indentified by police as a Capone
alcohol distributor.
The auto had been parked all da”
on a busy boulevard. Its gas tank was
empty and police believed the car and
body had been abandoned after Flavin’s
killers decided not to carry his body
outside the city.
The back of Flavin’s head had been
shot off with a shotgun.

Acclaimed by millions, this tooth paste won on merit
Over four million persons have switched to Listerine
Tooth Paste in nine years—and have kept right on
using it. They are delighted with its better results.
Many of them were first attracted by its economy,
half the usual price, 25(? instead of 50^.
But a mere saving of money could not possibly have
held them. Especially the millions of women, whose
first care is always to look their best. To them we had
to offer a remarkable cleansing and polishing power.
That is what you will find in Listerine Tooth Paste. It
will give you new ideas about how white your teeth can
be. And new pleasure in brushing them.
This unusual cleansing and polishing power is due
chiefly to a special polishing agen t. It cleans off tartar
and tobacco-stains, dirt, decay, and discolorations—
leaving teeth healthily white and flashing, as Nature
meant them to be.
Yet, even though dirt cannot resist this polishing
agent, it is too gentle ever to do your tooth enamel the
slightest harm.
And after you finish brushing your teeth, you will be
grateful, too, for the clean, fresh, tingling after-taste in
your mouth—the effect you associate with Listerine itself.
We Save — You Benefit
We are able to give you a dentifrice of such extraordi
nary quality at half the common price—for two reasons.
First, we have developed ultra-efficient and economical
methods of manufacture and distribution. Second, quick
and immense demand (over 4,000,000 users in 9 years)
calls for production on a great, cost-cutting scale.
You want to improve your teeth and cut down your
expenses. Try Listerine Tooth Paste today, and see how
it will help you do these things. Lambert Pharmacal
Co., St. Louis, Mo.
