WASHINGTON, D. C May 3. The
administration 1 using all the tricks
In It bag to get lt tariff bill
through congress.
. It had to.
In that secret
caucus of Demo
era 1 1 c senators
the other night,
the leaders even
trotted out a war
scare. They whls
p e re d confiden
tially that the
a d m 1 n 1 a -tlon
believed
there would be a
war within two "SfJSssf
years and that tariff bargaining was
the only way to try to stop It.
That frightened the boys half out
of their wits, or at least helped to
bold them In line.
If defeat of the tariff meant war.
they had to support the measure on
the ground of patriotism.
War possibilities probably will grow
exceedingly remote as soon as the
bill Is enacted.
The truth Is that the senatorial
leaders themselves would have lilted
to have chucked the tariff bill out
of tho window, but the White House
would not let them.
Their objections were entirely po
litical. They have no Idea that the
White House Is going to bargain
away American tariffs, but they
knew It would be a hard Job to get
the bill through, and they doubted
the practical wisdom of trying to do
It now. They sidetracked the plan
last year by such objections.
This time Mr. Roosevelt Insisted.
Prom London and Washington the
word has gone out that the far east
ern incident is "settled and closed."
This really Is only a diplomat's way
of saying that the incident was too
hot to handle now and has been
ducked by all parties for the-tlme
being. '
The British and American diplo
mats wish It was settled and will act
u though It is, but they know It
has only started.
Every insider realizes that what
happened was this:
The Japanese carefully passed out
unofficial word that tney were get
ting tired of too much Interference
In China by Great Britain and the
United States.
London and Washington did not
know how to handle such an unoffi
cial affront. London finally sent Its
ambassador into Tokyo around to the
Japanese foreign office for an ex
planation. So did the United States.
The explanations they got were thor
oughly Indefinite, but very, very
sweet.
London gleefully announced the in
cident closed, but added that Japan
could not appoint herself master of
China. Our state department said It
was closed If the Japanese explana
tion meant what we hoped it did.
The Japanese also said the incident
was closed, but Japan could not re
main a mere spectator in China.
Those are nowerful "bits" and
"Ifs."
All it means is that everyone has
agreed to wait until a specific occa.
elon arlsea before pressing tile mat
ter further. The occasion will arise
If the Japanese try to stop some
American aviator from teaching the
Chinese, or some American airplane
manufacturer from sending his
planes to China.
Our big diplomats are afraid such I
an occasion will arlso soon. They are
already passing around the word to
newsmen here that they should not
get excited If our diplomatic rela
tions with the Japanese get Into a
tangle.
The Choate report about rampant
bootlegging was an exaggeration, so
far as Washington Is concerned.
Nearly all the bootleggers here
have gone Into the retail, liquor busi
ness. By hook or crook, they man
aged to get licenses and are quite
content to handle legitimate trade.
The only bootlegging which is no
ticeable now Is in poorer communi
ng where a cheap product la sold.
Some of the Illicit rye makers In

to make automobile tripa down there,
but the business does not amount to
much.
Repeal Is not yet effective in Vir
ginia, across the river, ana oooucg
gers there are still carrying on as
nothing had happened.
Representatives are very angry at
the alcohol control board because It
has snubbed them, declining to fol.
low their recommendations.

France May Be Involved
LONDON, May 3. (AP) Ibn Saud,
ruler of Saudi Arabia, was reported
today to have crushed the ancient
kingdom of Yemen, captured Hodel
dah, and sunk armed ships In Hodel
dah harbor with his modernized army
artillery.
The Imam of Yemen, ruler of the
country, was reported assassinated In
a revolutionary outbreak.
The British government moved
rapidly to protect Its nationals and
British property and to prevent any
organized uprising of Arabians.
Warships Including the sloop "Pen
zance," were dispatched to the area.
H. M. S. Enterprise, a cruiser, was
ordered from Mombasa, East Africa,
to Aden In southwest Arabia.
The situation In Arabia was re
garded with grave concern by the
British government.
France and Italy, which possess
colonies at the southern end of the
Red Sea, also may become Involved,
it waa said.
Official dispatches did not confirm
the reporta of the death of the Imam,
who had ruled with absoluate power
for 30 years, but his overthrow was
generally conceded likely.
SUPEiWl'
TAX PROPOSAL
IS
WASHINGTON, May 3. (AP) The
senate today completed congressional
action on the (417,000,00 tax bill by
eliminating the 10 per cent emer
gency super-income tax for next year
proposed by Senator Couzens (R.,
Mich.)
The conference report was adapted
without a record vote and then also
without a roll call the senate re
ceded on the proposed 10 per cent
levy on Income taxes which the house
had turned down by a big majority.
The measure sent to the White
House goes a long way toward bol
stering the budget and helping to
pay the cost of the recovery pro
cram, but most of the new revenue
will not start coming In until 1035 !
when a majority of the new taxes
are effective.
The legislation makes scores of
changes In administrative provisions
of existing law to tighten them
against tax ' avoidance, levies higher
taxes on the transfers ol estates, gift
and large individual incomes and im
poses a capital stock ana excess prof
its against corporations estimated to
raise $05,000,000 a year.
WASHINGTON, May 3. (AP)

three-time loser wanted on a charge
of forgery. He was arrested and held
in Medford.
Hemington was arrested at Grants

theft of a Dodge car from the streets
of this city, where It had been left
with the key in the lock.
Hemington entered a plea of guilty
to the auto theft charge, before Cir

black around the edges. The Jailer
said he dyed his hair to hide his

Registration figures for the May

5326 Republicans and 3516 Demo

source of Democratic gain. However,
but one precinct, Deter, Is purely
Democrat. - It has three more Demo

and Plnehurst escaped being Demo

Eagle Point precinct has 98 Republi

The Socialists, Progressives, Prohi

James J, Cannon, Jr., the mutant

efforts to superannuate him and was
retained for four more years as an
active bishop In the Methodist Epis
copal church, South.
Against recommendations of the
committee , on episcopacy to retire
him this year because of "infirmity,"
the quadrennial general conference
voted 260 to 170 to retain him as
one of the active bishops until 1988
when he Is automatically retired un
