THE SUNDAY OHEOONTAX, PORTLAND, FEBTtTJATlY 19, 1822 3 SE ID HOUSE FF W Chairman Fordney Insists on American Valuation. DELAY OF BILL POSSIBLE rian to Kcfcr Question to Harding to Prevent Impasse Dis cussed at Capitol. WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 18. (By the Associated Press.) A row be tween the house and senate over American valuation was forecast to- Jlw nftA. ft V,n-i win .Vmnwra that FA- j'uimcan memuers oi me bchalo finance committee in rewriting the eo-called permanent tariff bill had agreed, tentatively on continuing the present principle of basing duties on foreign market value. Chairman Fordney of the house ways and means committee declared that if this kind of tariff measure was passed by the senate, the house would write a new bill with an Amer ican, valuation clause and "let the eenata try again." If this should happen. It was said, there would be little prospect of a tariff bill at this esslon unless congress remained on the job throughout most of the con eressional election campaign. Senate's Action Criticised. Declaring that the house ways and means committee had written a bill on the American valuation plan only after full agreement with all repub lican members of the senate, com mittee except Senator La Follette of Wisconsin, Representative Fordney said the abandonment of this prin ciple by tho senate committee ma jority was a "thing the gentlemen of the ways and' means committee would not have done w'thout consulting the finance committee." "If they send a bill over hero based on foreign valuation," he added, "they may expect that it will be sent to th ways- and means committee, which will send back to the senate a bill alco based on, American valuation." The valuation plan, as framed in the house bill, was abandoned some time ago by majority members of the sen ate committee, who have been con sidering two plans basd largely on the recommendaf.lun of President Harding in his annual message to congress last December. Harding's Plan Recalled. The executive then said regarding American valuation ;hat there coulu nct be ignored "the danger of such valuations" making American tariffs prohibitive. In the light of the presi dent's position, it was suggested that if the house and the senate disagreed on the valuation question, the matter might be referred to .the executive in an effort to bring about an agree ment before such an impasse as that suggested by Mr. Fordney would b brought about. The senate committee majority be gan today rewriting of the ad valo rem rates in the Fordney bill on the basis of foreign valuation. Senators raid that many of the rates were be !;ig scaled upward, since the original figures were predicated upon an as sessment of duties on the bas's of tho value of articles produced in this country comparable with those im ported. Snioot Plan Adopted. The valuation plan as" tentatively agreed upon, known as the Smoot plan, carried provisions designed to meet unusual conditions existing now in world trade. These provisions in cluded proclaimed American valua tion, flexible rates within a radius of 60 per cent of the figures fixed" in the bili, and a depreciated currency pro vision. There also are sections de signed to prevent unfair competition in importation and discrimination against American foreign commerce. It was said today that a final vote on the Smoot plan was being delayed pending further information from the state department as to whether the depreciated currency provisions would be in violation of the "favored na tior" clauses of existing commercial treaties. sourl and Louis C. Doyle, ex-attorney-general of Kansas, were brought to Boston ag counsel for the defense. The trial lasted several weeks. The decision has not yet been handed down but is expected any day. - Mr. Pelletier ls still discharging the duties of his office. Justice Is Indicted. While the state wag busy gather ing, evidence to remove Pelletier ha was not idle. He obtained the in dictment of Justice Pierce of the su preme court for- obstructing justice in a case before tho court. He also got an indictment against Attorney General Allen for the alleged larceny of 155.49 from an ex-client. Judge Pierce and Attorney-General Allen have pleaded not guilty. Pleas are now before the superior court to dis miss the indictments on the ground that Pelletier was actuated by Im proper motives. Aljen's friends have declared that he has only begun and that he will not quit until he has driven from the bar the crooked lawyers who harve brought disgrace on an honorable profession. A score of prominent lawyers are yet to be tried for con spiracy and graft, with a long so journ at state's prison facing them. The entire legal personnel is on tip toe and the public is awaiting with great interest the next move of th a t torn ey -general.

Mr. Hurlbut was not long in find ing out and laying the facts before a court. In a short time some of the thieves, who had settled and felt that they were secure, were convicted and sent to jail. Bomb No. 2 was fired when the attorney-igeneral filed a long com plaint against District Attorney Tufts of Middlesex county, asking the su preme judicial court to remove hi from office, charge malfeasance, mis feasance and nonfeasance in office. It caused a great sensation, rocking the old Bay state from the Berk eli ires to Cape Cod. In the hearing before the court, lasting several weeks, the rottenness of the district attorney's office was laid bare and . me testimony offered by the attor ney-geueral made it plain that hii tijxt move would be in Suffolk county, Tuft la Found Guilty. The court found Tufts guilty on several of the charges, disbelieving the latter's explanation of his large bank deposits, almost always in bills, and removed him from office. With the Tufts case out of the way , Attorney-General Allen moved on Joseph C. Pelletier, district attorney of Suffolk county, asking the court iu leiuuvt; uiiii iivjm uiiico on pracil cally ,the same grounds as Tufts. After several delays, Pelletier was put on trial. But if America had supported the Genoa parley it is believed the French would not have tried to throw a wrench into the conference wheels, i KECOGXITIOX SEEU IN MOVE Powers Declared to Have Ignored Questions Raised Before. BERLIN, Feb. 18. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The invitation to so viet Russia to send representatives to the GeTioa conference is equivalent to recognition of Russia, and an indica- lon that the entente will refrain from intervening in bolshevik internal af fairs, eays Karl Radek, soviet repre sentative in Berlin, in an article in the Rote Fahneu (Red Flag) today. tvi. Kadek eays the entente no longer speaks of stipulations hitherto pro posed and-interprets, this as proving that the entente powers are willing to recognize that 150,000,000 Russians are not 'Congo negroes or unprotected Chinese." ' The invitation to the soviet govrn- ment to attend the Genoa conference referred only to a discussion of the conditions under which its recogni tion would be possible, and M. Radek adds: ' 'This formula is simply a subter fuge. The Invitation of the soviet re gime to Genoa is in itself recognition. There will be no special question about the recognition of the Soviets and no special question about their conomic unity. There wilL be ques tion of a loan, of indemnities, of Rus sia's guarantee of the interest and amortization of a loan. If these ques tions are settled, In them is recogni- lon ana nothing else." M. Radek also urges that the ques tion of recognition of the old Russian imperial debts Is more legal than ma terial, since Russia,, like the other war-worn powers, will have no re sources for some years to come. The question is what credits the powers are ready to grant to Russia to assist n reconstruction, he says. The writer cites the fact that neither France nor America objected to the decision of the supreme council at Cannes to invite Russian delegates to tienoa as proof that the powers have abandoned the idea of starving Russia or overthrowing the soviet re gime. The reported Franco-Russian gov ernment agreement is denied by the French ambassador here,, but M. Ra dek seems confident an agreement will be reached "as soon as Russia is able to guarantee profits." Berlin newspapers take the French denial as a matter of course, saying it s only a question whether France con siders the negotiations official or un official.

Premier Bonomi, announcing his resignation in the chamber, said the cabinet would carry out current business. In the senate he declared that the military operations at Misurata had been successful and the whole of Tripoli was now peaceful owing to the announcement of the governor of Tripoli that the Misurata operations were not a prelude to operations in the interior.

NEW YORK, Feb. 18. Peggy Marsht one time sweetheart of the late Henry Field of Chicago, announced today that she had decided to go back to the stage rather than accept a $4000 annuity offered her by Marshall Field 3d, in exchange for her "banishment" for five years from New York, bhe was given her choice of Europe or tne west ior ner caiic,. She said the offer had been made recently by Fields' lawyers, but that she did not feel she could accept it, as the annuity would only be paid during the life of Marshall Field Ja. "Had the offer been for the dura tion of my own life or that of my boy, I might have accepted it," she said, "but I have no idea how long Mr. Field is going to live. He might die just about the time my own earning power began to wane and I needed the money worst." Miss Marsh said she was compelled to add to her income in some way and that the stage was the only ave nue that offered itself. She recently lost a suit to have her son, Henry Anthony Marsh, declared an heir to the Marshall Field mil lions." Her only income now, she said, is the proceeds from a $100,000 timgt fund set aside by Marshall Field 3d for her son. 4 I. W.. W. LAWYER FINED E. S.
