rayne-Aldrlch Rales Are Much
Higher Than New Schedule
in Some Instances.
WASHINGTON. D. C. June 29. (By
the Associated Press.) The adminis-
tration"s permanent tariff bill was
Introduced toaay in the house of rep
resentatives and for the first timt
was made public
No explanatory statements accom
panied the introduction of the meas
ure, as has been customary, and no
fficial estimate was made of the
revenue it is expected to return.
Unofficial estimates bv members of
the ways and means committee, how
ever, placed the expected return as
high as J700.000.000 a year. The
Payne-Aldrich law in the normal pre
war years produced a little more than
J300.000.000 a vear.
Examination of the bill shows that
In some cases the rates proposer! are
higher than corresponding rates of
the Payne-Aldrich law, while others
are lower.
Many Free Article Taxed,
An estimate of how the whole bill
eompar-g with the Payne-Aldrich law
will be possible only through a de
tailed study by tariff experts, be
cause the schedules of the new bill
are in many cases not framed in par
allel with the schedules of the Payne
law.
In comparison with the Underwood
tariff law of the Wilson administra
tion, the new bill removes many ar
ticles from the free list, although it
leaves a large list free of duty, in
cluding print paper, wood pulp,
leather and harness and agricultural
Implements. It raises the duties on
the great bulk of Imports already be
ing taxed. It has made no notable
additions to the free list.
Comparison of the wool schedule
with schedule K of the Payne
Aldrich bill, over which a bitter fight
was waged in congress, showed ma
terial reductions i a number of in
stances. In the items of hose and
gloves the duty fixed by the commit
tee was 30 cents a pound and 23 per
cent ad valorem duty in addition.'
wnne in me Payne bill the rate was
44 cents a pound and 60 per cent ad

mittee declared today that the rates
on wool were much below the Payne
Aldrich schedule. Democratic mem
bers of the committee did not have
access to the bill until late today and
tonight they were attempting to find
out just how it compared.
In the rush to get the bill to the
house, the committee had no
submit a report, but it is subject to
change, it was said, by a republican
caucus. "
The lumber schedule, as originally
drawn, was cut by . the committee,
whihe finally heeded the appeal of
republicans to have finished lumber
kept on the free list. Shingles, how
ever, were taxed in the lumber sched
ule, but many other Items were not.
The committee provided that if any
country imposed a duty on any of the
free list lumber exported from the
United States, the president might
enter into negotiations with it to ob
tain removal of the tax and, failing,
would be empowered to declare equal
rates on the product imported from
such country.
Shingles Tax Opposed.
The leaders in the fight to have
lumber remain on the free list in
dicated that such other differences
as might exist on the subject would
be adjusted. The tax of 50 cents a
thousand on shingles caused some
complaints from members who had
been urging that no duty be imposed
on any products needed at this time
in relieving the housing shortage.
The oil tax was unexpected. . The
duty was not as high, it was said, as
that proposed and rejected the other
day by a vote of 9 to 8, but American
oil producers kept up the fight and
the rate was the last important ac
tion of the committee before Chair
man Fordn'ey took the bill to the
house and formally introduced it.

Sisters Attack Monster With Oars
and Save Child's Life.
EUREKA, Cal.. June 29. A lS-foot
octupus was killed at Samoa, Hum
boldt county, late yesterday, after it
had seized in its tentacles George, S-year-old
son of Captain C. M. Tcter
son, of the tug Ranger.
The boy was wading in the shallow
water while two older sisters were
paddling about in a boat. The boy's
screams alarmed the sisters and they
attacked the sea monster with their
oars.
The octupus lashed out with other
tentacles and wrenched an oar from
the hands of the younger sister. The
other girl, using her oar, bayonet
fashion, cartly stunned the animal,
which loosened its hold on the boy
and crawled to nearby rocks, where
it was beaten to death.

4i'!3lT!4T ' yesterday afternoon, at a meeting of
'i:!'il-""s3 ' 60 eadinS Tortland citizens to discuss
major plans for the 1925 exposition.
They decided it was all right for them
to meet and discuss the projected en
terprise in general terms, but the need
of the hour was a financial corner
stone upon which to lay the founda
tion of the undertaking. The un
doubted sentiment of the assembly,
however, was for the exposition, pro
vided a workable plan of finance
could be devised.
It was the consensus of opinion that
the finance committee be Instructed to
prepare a plan for getting necessary
funds and lay it before a later meet
ing to be called by President Julius
Meier. This policy was framed in a
motion and prevailed by unanimous
vote.
Exposition Ronaea Enthualnxm.
Considerable enthusiasm for the
proposed exposition developed at the
meeting held at the Multnomah hotel.
Present were the bulwarks of the
community, in a business and finan
cial, as well as, to an extent, profes
sional way.
It seemed everybody In attendance
favored the project, provided the
necessary financial support could be
obtained. - Thia was held by some
speakers to be problematical, al
though the majority expressed confi
dence that it would be forthcoming.
Lack of a definite financial pro
gramme was deplored, speakers dis
cussing the problem being somewhat
at a disadvantage because no settled
policy of getting the money by taxa
tion, subscription, or both, had been
outlined. At the forthcoming meet
ing, to be held as soon as may be.
these are expected to be available.
Preliminary Work Progresses.
President Meier, on calling the
meeting to order, introduced J. E.
Gratke, who has been in charge of
preliminary promotion work, and he
told what has been accomplished along
that line to date. Seven states, one
a far eastern commonwealth, Dela
ware, have indorsed the exposition,
he said, in unqualified fashion. More
than 100 resolutions had been passed

MESSINA. Italy. June 28. (By the

Stromboli, on Stromboli island, off
the north coast of Sicily, burst into

Misbehavior Admitted by Wife, but
Court Blames Spouse and
Couple Is Reconciled.
NEW YORK. June 29. (Special.)
Mrs. Benjamin Hoynoski of 534 West
Fiftieth street, seared an imperfect
sign of the cross Into the flesh of her
breast Sunday morning to atone for
her infidelity. In the presence of her
two babies she heated an iron red
hot in the flame of the gas range in
her home and branded herself until
she could bear the pain no longer.
She said in west side court today that
her husband, having learned of her
fondness for another man, ordered her
to do such penance. Her husband said
she did it on her own initiative, but
with his knowledge.
They have been married three years
and were childhood sweethearts in
Poland. They had lived together in
harmony until this episode. Before
Magistrate Mancuso she admitted
misbehavior with another man. But
she contended her husband's harsh
ness had driven her to it. The mag
istrate found both were to blame
the husband perhaps more than the
wife.
'Do you love your husband?" Mag
istrate Mancuso asked her.
"Yes," she replied.
Then he asked the man if he loved
his wife, and he replied that he did.
Hoynoski, the defendant, was
placed under suspended sentence. In
the courtroom he kissed his wife, and
they parted at the outer door, she to
go to her children, one 3 years and
the other 8 months old, and he to his
work.
He has forgiven her. She has for
given him.

The surest appraiser of the merits
cf a racehorse I ever saw was neither
a jockey nor a trainer nor a book
maker. He had a pair of withered
legs and passed most of his waking
hours in a wheel chair. No, air, the

cool, calm and collected, stands aloof
and afar from the actual operation
and delivers his dictum without run
ning the risk that occurrences on the
spot may upset the apple cart of his
deductive processes.
Your correspondent has chosen to
borrow a page from the book of these
gifted men. I have not lately been
to Atlantic City nor yet to Manhas-
set-by-the-Sound. 1 have not wit
nessed the hippodromlng stunts of
Jack nor lingered outside the barn
where Georges conducts his secret
preparatory rites. I have not ap
plauded the ballyhoo staged by 1m
presario Kearns nor harkened with
an attentive and flattered ear to the
mysterious whisperea sibilations of
the Imported Gallic manager. I find
r.iyseir unmoved Dy tne tidings, as
exclusively reported a few days ago
by a reporter for one of our leading

If my memory serves me right. Jack
has always been ready to do a little
something for the flag except when
there was a war going on.
Dempaey o Gentleman.
I have not been greatly stirred by
the discovery, already made by up
ward of 1500 members of the writing
profession, that Georges resembles a
Greek god. I have never seen a
Greek god. Most of the Greeks I
know are engaged in the shoe-shining,
the fruit-purveying or the quick
lunching business. They are worthy
and well-meaning persons, but none
of them in the least fulfills my con
ception of what is godlike. But, even
is the dependable expert waits for
others to scramble about in the tur
rroil and gather up the sordid details
and then, taking their theories over, i
rejects some, appropriates the rest,
and finally launches forth the last
word on the subject, backed with the
hallmark of his superior Judgment.
I carefully have considered the state

The little auditorium was crammed
and sweltering in heat when the
secret service men forced through to
the stage President Harding's party,
with Vice-President Coolldge, General
Perching and the cabinet. Major-generals
and rear-admirals with their
stiffly uniformed aides sat packed in
close ranks among civilians. There
was also a Fprlnkllng of women.
President Harding greeted them as
"fellow workers" ' while Director
Dawes hailed them indiscriminately
as ' friends, folks and people."
His Job was to be the "eyes and ears
of the executive, not the fingers." he
said, "to get Information from a
washerwoman or a vice-president,"
not to "run a detective bureau, but
make pictures for the president and
for congress."
"Vou have a right to the informa
tion," he said turning to President
Harding, "Just as the president of a
business corporation has the right and
nteds to use it, for yours Is the re
sponsibility." "I have the powers of the president,
to get the facts." he exclaimed,
swinging back to his audience, "and
they will be exercised."
tOiprrta Told (o Harry.
The first "picture" would be of -present
appropriations, he explained,
and he wanted budget representatives
an the Job In each department "burn
ing the night lights" to "get it out In
July."
The front rank of his auditors was
kept dodging us he g rated and
swung full-arm gestures.
"lt me submerge now that we've
got on this Job," lie said to the news
papermen, "for you can t Imagine any
man running a street railroad or a
manufactory with 30 or 40 of you
gentlemen running in to auk ques
tions every day. Wait till we get
out a budget and then remember to
give the credit to the bureau chiefs
here. If. we ever get down where
want to get It will be theae men who
do it.
"We propose Just the organlxation
which Is the backbone of every busi
ness," he said. "Under the old sys
tem It's always been the practice of
a live bureau to hold up congress for
everything it had a chance to spend.
1 know, because I did It myaelf w lien
I was running a bureau before.
"Now they have to go the other
way, and Just lor my reputation. I've
got to cut that $223,000 appropriated
lor the budget bureau Just 2 per
cent. If it takes my salary this year."
Mr Harding addressed the several
hundred bureau beads as "fellow
workers," and outlined In a short ad
dress the purposes he hoped would be
attained through the budget system.
"I do not know." said the presi
dent, "that there has evti been a
meeting like hlg :n the history of .he
government of the United fclates. I
am very glad to come before you
and stand sponsor tor this meeting.
The present administration of th-s
federal government Is committed to
a period of economy and efficiency
in government. This statement li
not made with any thought cf criticis
ing what has gone before. It is mde
In a new realixatlon of thw necessity
of driving at tlee loose, un-st lentific
expenditures of government."
