New Attack Is Launched on Tariff Measure
CONFEREES LEARN
BILL SUBJECT TO
RENEWED ATTACK
Opposition Contends Groups Ex-
ceeded Their Authority
in Compromise
WHOLE QUESTION REOPENED
Lumber Schedule Touchy; House
Eliminates It, but Senate
Wants Rate in Bill
Washington. May 24.—(AV-After 16
months' of labor, the tariff framers
were confronted with a fresh point of
attack today which caused them new
anxiety over the fate of the complex
bill.
Just after reaching a final agree
ment on the measure, the Republican
conferees learned the conference re
port adjusting the hundreds of dif
ferences between the senate and
house is liable to a point of order
which may reopen the entire contro
versy.
The opposition is prepared to con
tend, when the report Is submitted on
Monday that the conferees exceeded
the authority of both of the house
and senate bills in fixing the duties
on cheese, cherries, rayon, watches
and clocks.
Learning of the new attack on the
bill, Senator Watson of Indiana, the
Republican leader, sought a gentle
man's agreement whereby conferees
would only consider these particular
rates if the legislation is returned
igain to conference.
If the point of order against the
bill is upheld by the senate it sends
the legislation back to conference
with the house, reopen the whole tar
iff structure to revision and means
another vote in the house of items in
dispute.
As finally framed, the tariff meas
ure carries a duty on softwood lum
ber. The house turned down this
duty and senate leaders are afraid
reconsideration would lead to elimi
nation of this rate. A duty on lum
ber is probably necessary to get the
votes in the senate for passage of the
tariff bill.
Senator Watson and the Republi
can leaders were busily sizing up the
situation today to meet the new
emergency. They hope to get suffi
cient support from the senate to up
hold the decision on the rates against
which the point of order will be made.
If the point of order is defeated
leaders believe the end of the long
tariff struggle is in sight, with a fi
nal vote coming after a week or ten
days of debate.

he hear the boy scream.
He did, however, want some horses
driven from the path of the tractor
to a corner of the field and looked
around to bid the boy do that, when
he saw what had happened. By that
time Elmer’s left leg was broken be
low the knee cap. the bone protrud

GRAF SAILS SOUTH
NEAR BLUE ATLANTIC
Giant Airship Leaves Pernam
buco for 1,250-Mile Trip
to Rio Janeiro
Pernambuco, Brazil, May 24.—</P)
The Graf Zeppelin saUed southward
today along one of the most beauti
ful coasts in the world on a 1.250-
mile trip to Rio Janeiro, capital of
Brazil.
On their left passengers had the
blue of the Atlantic, and on their
right Brazil, green and sparkling In
the tropic sun.
Departure from here was several
hours later than the Graf's master,
Dr. Hugo Eckener, had calculated, the
intense heat making hazardous re
plenishment of the lifting gas until
the air had cooled.
Almost as large a crowd as Per
nambuco has ever seen witnessed the
ship rise in the air with flashlights
playing on its sides.
In gassing the bag prior to its leav
ing, two workmen employed at
Campo Glquia, were burned slightly.
At first it was believed they were two
members of the Graf’s crew but this
later was denied.
Dr. Eckener’s plans were in doubt.
While he might be expected to make
the trip ordinarily in about 20 hours,
which would bring him to Rio Jan
eiro late this afternoon, there was
reason to believe he might continue
through Saturday night toward Sao
Paulo, inland about 300 miles, where
a large number of Germans are en
gaged in coffee-growing. In that
event he would return to Rio Janeiro
Sunday.
There was some doubt even that a
landing would be attempted at Rio
Janeiro. There are no facilities there
for caring for the Graf.

UNCOVER CONSPIRACY TO
IMPORT DRINKS FOR RICH
Englishman Arrested in New

orate Smuggling Scheme
New York. May 24.—<7P>—With the
arrest of Edward Tatham, ,an Eng
lishman and director to the distillery
firm of Justerini and Brooks. Ltd., of
London, federal prohibition agents to
day said they had frustrated sp elab
orate conspiracy to .-smuggle liquor
into ' this country for the wealthy
trade.
Tatham was arrested last night
aboard the Toronto Limited just be
fore the train pulled out of the Grand
Central station. Federal authorities
said he iwas en route to England by
way of Montreal to put the conspir
acy into operation. The arrest, was
made under a secret indictment re
turned against Tatham and the Jus
terini and Brooks company by a fed
eral grand jury. It charged conspir
acy to violate the prohibition law.
Robert' B. Watts, assistant United
States attorney in charge of prohibi
tion prosecutions, said information
regarding the conspiracy had been
gathered by under cover agents work
ing In this country and abroad.
A traveling bag seized among Tat
ham’s luggage, Watts said, contained
a quantity of documents relating to
plans of the organization. These in
cluded a list of prospective customers
and lists of agents with their ad
dresses.
"There are indications,” Watts said,
“that a financially strong American
syndicate was backing the scheme.”
Federal authorities said Tatham
and his associates planned to have
their own fleet of vessels, with an aux
iliary of fast power boats to land the
liquor in this country, where it would
be delivered uncut and unadulter
ated to a select clientile through a
system of distributors.

Commissioners
HENDRICKSON DISAPPOINTED AS
TOWNLEY FILES FOR CONGRESS
Independent Candidate in Third
District to Open Separ-
ate Headquarters
AND THEREBY HANGS A TALE
Wet Activities of Gentleman
From Burke County Embar
rass I. V. A. Group
When A. C. Townley Friday filed
his petition with the secretary of
state for the Republican congression
al nomination from the third district,
there was some disappointment in the
heart of Mr. Staale Hendrickson of
Burke county, a candidate for the
same nomination.
It was rumored more than a week
ago that Mr. Townley had decided
not to continue with his candidacy,
despite the fact that he has been
campaigning since early last winter.
The theory was that Mr. Townley
was more of a wet than anything else
and that he would withdraw in order
to give another wet candidate a
chance.
But the theorists didn’t properly
estimate Mr. Townley. He claims to
be the original wet candidate and
whatever advantage there may be in
that he intends to keep for himself.
Meanwhile Mr. Hendrickson and
Mr. Townley continue their respec
tive wet compaigns while J. H. Sin
clair. the incumbent, rides carefully
down the middle of the political road
and says he doesn’t regard prohibi
tion as the paramount issue: that he
is more interested in economic mat
ters.
And therein, political leaders of
both sides agree, lies the answer to
the result in the third district. Mr.
Sinclair Will get nearly all the dry
votes and some of the wet ones.
Townley and Hendrickson will divide
suoh of the wet votes as they can
muster between them and when the
votes are counted, it seems probable
that Mr. Sinclair will be returned to
congress for a sixth term.
'Flans' Separate Campaign
Mr. Hendrickson announced today
in Minot that he is going to conduct
a separate campaign for the con
gressional nomination from head
quarters in Minot.
In a statement, Issued to '‘clear up
some misunderstandings” regarding
his candidacy, he took upon his own
shoulders the onus of putting the
Independent faction into the wet-dry
battle from which both major Repub
lican factions in North Dakota have
heretofore steered clear.
Mr. Hendrickson's statement asserts
that he was unanimously endorsed
for congress by the so-called Real
Republican convention at Grand
Forks on March 27 and that he stands
on the principles adopted at that con
vention.
Explaining his statement, issued
later, that he favored repeal of the

SPECIAL SESSION OF
CONGRESS IN SIGHT
President Hoover Serves Notice
He Expects Action on
Naval Treaty
Washington, May 24.— (fP) —Th«
senate today prepared for early dis
position of the London naval limi
tations agreement with President
Hoover giving notice he would call a
special session if the pact is not
acted upon before adjournment.
The president's declaration ended
talk of deferring the treaty debate
until December and stirred advocates
of the pact into action for its prompt
consideration.
A Republican conference Monday
will decide whether the treaty will be
taken up in the regular session or de
ferred for the special meeting which
the president is ready to call.
Senator Watson of Indiana, the
Republican leader, believes the pSct
can be disposed of before adjourn
ment. Chairman Borah of the for
eign relations committee, thinks like
wise. Others believe the special ses
sion will be a better way to meet the
situation.
Senator Johnson, Republican, Cal
ifornia, and other foes of the agree
ment, want the discussion deferred.
The Californian asserted “They are
afraid to let the country learn what
is in this treaty.” But the opposition
concedes it faces a losing battle.
Navy foes of the treaty will be ex
amined again next week by the for
eign relations committee, but it is
generally agreed these hearings can
be concluded by mid-week. An early
and favorable report by the foreign
relations committee on the pact
thereafter is certain.”
With the treaty issue definitely be
fore the senate, little hope is held out
of an adjournment before July 1, al
though some of the more optimistic
are pinning their hope on a June 15
ending.
In a statement today Senator John
son, Republican, California, said the
American people would “overwhelm
ingly repudiate” the pact if giver
time to under stand it thoroughly.
His statement read “I think the
sponsors of the treaty are entirely
right, from their viewpoint in rushing
the treaty; for if time be given the
American people to thoroughly under
stand it it will be overwhelmingly
repudiated.”
