BARNETT, RIVER PILOT, DROWNS Falls From Deck ot Motorboat as It Is Tilted by Swift, Current. By the Associated Press. WASHINGTON, May 9.-—T he possibility of a split in Republican ranks over procedure to be em- ployed during consideration of the tariff revision bill appeared today as the House started general de- bate on the Republican members from 10 ag- gricultural States, including Mis- souri, announced they had decid- ed to ask that the Republican caucus, called for tomorrow, post- | pone for a week its formulation of | a plan for the measure’'s consid- | eration in order to allow time for | them to compose differences which | they said, had developed. Usually the procedure governing consideration is determined before general debate is begun, but today Chairman Hawley of the Ways and Means Committee started discus- sion in the House without an an- nouncement in this regard. A number of Republicans favor taking up the bill under a rule limiting amendments to committee members only, but Democrats contend all members should have this privilege. At the meeting of the agricul- tural states’ members, Kepresenta- tive Dickinson of Iowa, one of the Republican farm leaders in Con- gress, was designated to present the request for a delay to the Republican caucus. The dissatis- faction among these Kepublicans arose over provisions in the bill af- fecting the drawback on wheat, failure to impose a duty on hides, cattle and vegetable oils. In discussing the bill, Hawley said all readjustments were based on the differences in competitive conditions between domestic and foreign articles. Many New Items Included. While it was designed primarily to aid farm products, he declared many new industrial articles had sprung up since the Fordney-Mc- Cumber law was written that re- quired protection. “We have considered that the tariff is a domestic question,” he Said, contending the protective policy had increased the nation's wealth more than 2) times. Representative Garner of Texus, the Democratic leader, charged in the debate that the metal sched- ules, after having been approved by the Republican members of the Ways and Means Committee, haa been changed at the demand of Joseph R. Grundy, president of the Pennsylvania Manufacturers’ Asso- ciation. “Grundy came down here = anda got the Pennsylvania delegation to- gether and they told you what to do,”’ the Texan declared. Garner coupled with a declaration that in refusing to grand demands for a higher duty On casein “‘the New England manu- facturers won, over the farmers op the Middle West, not on their mer- its, but on the amount of their campaign funds.” | “If you had left the rates where they were on manufactures and raised agricultural rates to what they ought to be, 1 would have voted for thig bill,"”" he said. “I thought you would have the de- cency to do it.

Capt. John <A. Barnett, a li- censed steamboat pilot of the armiy engineers, was drowned in the Mississippi River yesterday aft- ernoon when he fell from a motor boat on which he had been stand- ing. The boat had just left the river bank at Arsenal street and tilted sharply when caught broadside by the swift current. He could not swim and was unable to grasp ropes thrown to him by other occupants of the boat. It is thought he may have been stunned by a barrel of oil which slipped from the deck of the boat when it tilted. A boat was put out from the dock in an effort to save him, but he sank before it reached him. The body was not recovered. Capt. Barnett was 53 years old. The widow and two children, with whom he lived at 2420 South Broadway, survive. He had worked on _ the river since boyhood, operating a ferry boat at the foot cf Sidney street from 1913 until four years’ ago, when he entered the Government service. Before that he had pilot- ed ferries at Chester, Ill., his birth- place, TAY PAY O'CONNOR TO BE FIRST Cy the Assoc iated i Press.

By the Associated Press. WASHINGTON, May 9.—While reau of Standards tests of his in- struments today, Lieut. A. Soucek of the Navy was confident that he had established a new world alti- tude record in his flight yesterday at the Naval Air Station at Ana- costia, He said that if it were found that his calculations were in error, he would try again and keep on trying until he did set a new rec- ord. His altimeter. he explained, registered 40,000 feet before he turned downward in yesterday’s flight and his calculations, based on a series of tests to plot the dis- crepancy hetween that instrument and barograph readings, placed his actual altitude at approximately 39,000 feet. The flight was made in the same biplane used by Lieut. C. C. Cham- pion of the Navy, to set the »Dres- ent official record of 38,418 feet in July, 1927. Official readings of Soucek’s instruments showing that he exceeded that altitude by at least 300 feet were held by the National Aeronautic Association to be necessary before he could be credited with the new record. In making his flight yesterday, Soucek related, he _ deliberately took a chance that his eyes would be frozen. On an attempt last month, he recalled, his goggles frosted over at 35,000 feet and he came down, heeding a warning not to take them off lest his eyes freeze, but when the same condi- tion developed yesterday at a higher altitude, he discarded them and kept on climbing. Although he went an additional thousand feet higher after removing the goggles, his eyes didn’t freeze and the plane, he said, was ‘“‘function- ing perfectly.” DECLARES BRITAIN | WON’T ACCEPT NEW GERMAN \PROPOSAL Continued From Page One. thus attackin; one of the clauses in the treaty of Versailles. Britain Opposes Items, Meanwhile there appeared to be no diminution of the problem pre- sented by Great Britain’s dissent to the Young proposals, the fig- ures of which have not yet even been accepted by the French, whose objections have been lost in the chorus of disapproval over pro- jected revision of the Spa percent- ages, The delegates, in long private conferences among themselves, have been hard put to reconcile these differences. ‘Their unflinch- ing desire to arrive at some sort of a settlement and the sugges- tion of Young that the finer de- tails of his proposals are not un- alterable were the principal fac- tors in hope that they ultimatcly would be successful. There was left today Tittle of the hope of Sunday and Monday that they would be able to con- clude the work of the conference and leave for home Saturday.

Dr. Schacht’s Attitude. seemed unlikely today that Dr. Schacht’s reservations to an agreement to Young’s proposals would constitute a serious obstacle to settlement. The fact that he has kept them out of writing seemed, it was said, to indicate imminent toning down so that they would not prove another bomb- shell in the Allies’ midst. Less denunciation was heard in the French press today than an appeal to the Allies to settle their differences and present a united front to the Germans.

SAYS 6. 0, P, DID POOR JOB IN WRITING REVISED TARIFF Dr. Isaac Lippincott Tells Women’s Club New Measure Is ‘With- out Principle.’ The Republican party has: done a poor job in writing the tariff revision bill, Dr. Isaac Lippincott, professor of economics at Wash- ington University, told members of the Republican Women’s Club to- day in a discussion of “The Farm- er and the Tariff” at the Town Club. “While we usually can upon the Republican party to duce a rational measure, the posed bill is without principle and, for the most part, caters to spe- cial interests,’’ he declared. “There are sections dictated by the Flor- ida tomato farmers, the California almond growers and the New En- gland dairymen. “I would say that we have to look forward to lower rates; not to free trade, but to freer trade. Since 1919, more than 56 per cent of our imports have been on the free list, and in 1927 64 per cent were not dutiable. When an in- dustry can stand on its own feet, its product should be put on the free list. “The tariff situation is compli- cated by the fact that $15,000,009,- 000 of American capital has been invested abroad, It is a competi- tion of American capital and American industry. a today it of an- depend pro- pro- INDICTMENT OF WASHINGTON POLICEMAN IN KILLING DENIED Patrolman Rouse, Who Shot Youth During Case, to Be Restored. to Duty.

The young man was led from the &alj- lery Quiet was restored temporarily and Buford resumed his attempt at a speech, his remarks from time to time being interspersed with profanity. Senator Donnelly pounded with the gavel and at- tempted to call Buford to order, with scant success, and without directing the sergeant-at-armis to interfere. Suddenly Buford seemed to think he again siw young Ma- son in the gallery, and e<ivanced from his seat, shouting: “There’s the Bring him down here.” Buford Begins Search for Youth. Donnelly pounded with his gavel and ordered Buford to his_ seat, and then Senator Cave interrupted with a motion to adjourn, which was adopted amid confusion. Bu- ford hurried from the chamber in- to the corridor, shouting: “\Where is he? Wihiere is he? The youth either had left the Capitol or had secréted himself in one of the many rooms, and could not be found. Mason is a Senate clerk and was assigned to duty by Senator Wam- mack of Stoddard County. He has been taking a law course, and came to Jefferson City to earn money to assist him in his studies. He resides on a farm about three miles from Jefferson City, walking to and from the Capitoleach day. On the farm he does the chores in payment for his meals and lodging. After the young man’s outburst the expression was heard on many sides that though he was entirely without the rules governiny the Senate, he but voiced the thought that was in the minds of nearly all persons in the Senate Chatnber. Calls Colleague a Tax Dodger. Immediately preceding Buford’s speech on the purchasing bill, Sen- ator Whitecotton had spoken in advocacy of it. Whitecotton’s re- marks generally were along the line that it was an economy meas- ure and that it should be passed in an attempt to curb the waste in the State government, which he said he thought was responsible to a great extent for the heavy burden of taxation. Buford tInterrupted Whitecotton on several occasions but the Paris Senator ignored him. At the con- vlusion of his remarks Buford ob- tained recognition, and immediate- ly began his attack. “Monroe County richest in the State,’’ “and pays the least in taxes. The senator from Monroe and all the people up there are tax-dodgers Whitecotton ignored Buford, who seemed to become more ex- asperated and demanded: “Why don’t you say something? defend yourself?” Whitecotton, apparently seeking avoid a scene on the $$ floor, from the chamber, and uford continued.

The youth did not move from his position until ar assistant Sergeant-at-Arms took him by the arm and escorted him out. He went without protest. Buford a Disturbing Element. Since the beginning of the Legis- lature, Jan. 2, Buford has been a disturbing element, frequently in- terrupting debates, and on several occasions causing the Senate to be adjourned to avoid disgraceful scenes. Conference after confer- ence of the Democratic leaders has been held to ponder over the prob- lem in an attempt to reach a de- cision as to how to handle the situ- ation to avoid scandal and at the same time to prevent further inter- ference with the official business. But the Senate lacked a leader with sufficient courage to tackle the matter and as time went on the situation got worse instead of bet- ter. Buford has a long record of leg- islative service. He is a lawyer and first came to the Legislature as a Senator in 1906. He served until 1922, when the late Senator Frank H. Farris of Rolla was elected to represent the Twenty-fourth Dis- trict, which includes six counties in the Ozark district lying toward the center of the State southwest of St. Louis, Crawford, Dent, Iron, Phelps, Reynolds and Washington. After Farris’ death in 1925 Buford was re-elected. He twice was the Democratic nominee for Lieuten.- ant-Governor, in 1920 and. 1924. being defeated on both occasions, With Old Guard Faction. In the Senate he has at all times been one of the so-called Old Guard faction, of which Senator Casey of Kansas City, that young Mason the present president pro-tem, is and long has been the leader. Buford and Casey were in the group of Senators who bolted the Democratic caucus in the 19°7 Legislature and voted with the Re- publicans to confirm the members of the Enloe prison board, which was found by a Senate Investigat- ing Committee to have been guilty of irregularities in the management of the State penal institutions. In the present sessiof, he has gained wide notoriety through his action in refusing to report to the Senate the small loan bills, which were referred to the committee of Which he was chairman. This committee, Crimina! Juris- prudence, is one of lhe most im- portant in the Senate. and UGuford gained its chairmans)hip because of his long allegiance to the VTCasey faction.
