WASHINGTON, May 11.—Pres- ident Hoover contemplates a tour of the South and is hopeful that the administrative and legislative situation will be cleared up suffi- ciently so that he can absent him- self from the Capital for some time this fall. The trip will be separate from the journey he is to make to the West Indies for visitg to Cuba, Porto Rico and perhaps some oth- er islands. He hopes to be able to round out his good will tour of Latin America within a year, The Southern trip will take him as far southwest as Texas, which he has been urged to ‘visit ever since his election, Formal invitations have come to the President from the chambers of commerce of Dallas, Fort Worth and Houston, and expectation is that he will arrange his schedule so as to visit all three of these places, May Visit Flood Area. Naturally he will want to revisit the scenes of his flood relief work on the Mississippi two years ago, and so is expected to include Loui- siana, Mississippi, Tennessee and perhaps Arkansas-in his schedule. Tennessee is the only one of these states he has visited since his nom- ination for the presidency. Invitations also are before the Chief Executive to visit Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, and if pos- sible he will make stops in all of those commonwealths. One of the latest invitations from the South to reach Mr. Hoover is that from the American Legion at Birmingham to visit that city in November for the unveiling of a World War memorial. Invitation from Charleston, Charleston, S. C., has extended an invitation that he visit that city in September for the opening of the King’s Highway Bridge, a mammoth structure spanning the Cooper River and forming the last connecting link in the coastwise highway from New York to Flor- ida. Norfolk, Va., also has requested Mr. Hoover to visit there, and in- vitations have been extended for visits to Richmond, the capital of the confederacy, Raleigh and oth- er cities farther to the South. It may be that time will permit only one stop in each State. If so, in the flood states he probably would stop at New Orleans, Visksburg, Memphis and Arkansas City. SINCLAIR’S TIPPING OF JAIL EMPLOYES ENDED BY WARDEN, Millionaire’s Pocket Money, All | but $5 or $6 Taken From Him, Peak Explains. By the Associated Press. WASHINGTON, May 11.—Maj. William L, Peak, superintendent of the Washington jail, said today he had advised Harry F. Sinclair, mil- lionaire oil magnate, in jail for 90 days, that tipping of jail attend- ants was not permitted and that from now on the no-tip rule would be enforced. Peak took this ac- tion after his attention had been eailed to the generosity of the oil man to his fellow prisoners and jail employes. As a result. a!l of Sinclair's money, except’ “five or six dollars” has been taken away from him and placed in the office safe. The money left in his possession is to enable Sinclair to purchase sweets and other delicacies at the jail store. Peak said Sinclair brought about $200 or $300 to jail with him and a large part of this was placed in the safe upon his arrival. An investigation was started after Peak heard that Sinclair had given an attendant 35 for perform- ing an errand. “The attendant may have said he got a $5 tip,” said Peak, “but more likely it was a lot less than that.” MRS, TUNNEY RECOVERING AFTER OPERATION APRIL 30 Abscess Removed From Appendix of Pugilist's Wife at Brion, Italy.

DENVER, Colo., May 11.—The body of Joe Clark of Denver, char- acter and chief witness for the Government against Walter John- son of Golden, Sheriff of Jefferson County, recently indicted for con- spiracy to violate the prohibition law, was found in a field north of Denver yesterday. He had been shot to death. A cursory examination disclosed four bullet wounds in his body, two of which evidently had en- tered from:*the back. Detectives advanced the theory that Clark was shot while trying to escape from captors. The Sheriff was indicted a month ago on conspiracy charges said to have been the outgrowth of testi- mony given the Federal grand jury by Clark, who at the time of his death was facing a State charge of operating a still.

BARGE LINE PERMITTED TO CUT EXPORT WHEAT RATES $3 1-3 Per Cent Reduction Au- thorized by War Secretary in. Line With Hoover's Suggestion, By the Associated Press. WASHINGTON, May 11.—RFe- duction of rateS on export wheat carried by the Mississippi- Warrior Service of the Inland Waterways Corporation’s barge line was au- thorized today by Secretary of War Good to be elective between May 15 and Sept. The reductions are approximately 33 1-3 per -cent. The reduction, recommended by Major-General T. Q. Ashburn, chairman of:-the board of the cor- poration, is in line with the recent action of railroads carrying grain in acceding to President Hoover's suggestion that the grain rates on export wheat and flour be lowered. It also is a continuation of the Federal Barge Line's policy to readjust its rates so as to maintain a differential under rail rates.

FOREIGN GLOVE INDUSTRY HARD HIT Economists Contend Loss of Trade to American Manufacturers Will Ex- ceed Protection Benefits. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. (Copyright, 1929, by the Press and Pulit- zer Publishing Cos. (New York World and Post-Dispatch.) PARIS, May 11.—If the United States puts through increased tar- iff duties, the effect on the rest of the world will be the erection of anew series of tariff walls against the United States, in the opinion of the French Ministry of Com- merce which for two days has been making a study of the American tariff revision bill. The proposed increases will cut into French exports to America, making exportation in several lines ot trade impossible, it is stated; but the worst result will be the clamor for increased French tar- iffs affecting American imports which will be difficult to combat. The most severe criticism of the new schedules is that they are go- ing against the spirit of the times and are bound to bring a check to the tendency to tariff compro- mises that has been spreading sev- eral years in reaction to the tariff walls raised after the war. Trade Hostility Forecast. That raising by Congress of the tariff on many objects, the saie of which is being pushed by Amer- ican manufacturers in other coun. tries at the moment when Amer- ican manufacturers are making the biggest drive for foreign trade they ever had made, cannot fail to make an impression in every coun- try America trades with, is the kKrench commercial view, The gain individual industries in America may get from cutting off foreign competition will be of lit- tle importance beside the trade hostility abroad, is the conclusion reached by economists of the min- istry of commerce here. Increases of 12 to 15 per cent on many French articles are held to be just enough to cut off ex- port. Two categories of increases have been taken under. considera- tion as two French industries al- ready have complained. The first of these ip furniture’ covering which, according to the categories, is, raised from 10 to 20 per cent. In this trade there has been lively American competition in recent years, involving copying of French designs against which there is no legal protection. Textile Makers Complain. The ad valorem duties already range from 45 to 60 per cent. Copying by American firms had made competition difficult, A dele- | gation of textile manufacturers has complained, but the new increases, combined with the difficulty of selling goods on design, virtually will close the American market to them, they now say. The second case, which is re- as especially hard on manufacturers is gloves. has been built up around Grenoble, partly through American houses, and the sudden cutting off of American exports, if the new schedule goes through, will, it is declared, work unfairly against the industry which has tn- vested heavily on the understand- ing that trade with America would be continuous. The rate of $11.59 a dozen on men’s hand sewn gloves is cited as an attempt by Ameri- French can glove manufacturers to cut off | Irench coagnpetition completely.

PUBLIC SERVICE CO. SAID TO OK PLAN Improvements Will Ad- vance Need for Costly Construction Further Into Future, Sponsor Believes. Recommendations for extensive rerouting of street Car lines in the city, with a view to reducing run- ning time of cars and improving vehicular traffic conditions, were submitted today to the Mayor's Transportation Survey Commission by its engineer, R. F. Kelker Jr. of Chicago, for consideration at a meeting at city hall next Tuesday afternoon. Kelker’s recommendations have been studied by officers of the Public Service Co., who, it is under- stood, have approved them, makng their adoption most likely. “Our studies thus far,” Kelker reports, “have been confined to ex- isting facilities and they have led to the conclusion that the street railway service is susceptible of many improvements, anfd-that with these improvements made the time when expensive rapid transit con- struction will be necessary can be moved further into the future.” — Photo by Underwood & Underwood. TWO PERSONS DROWN IN KANSAS FLOODS Three Missing and 10 Badly Hurt Following 8 - Inch Rain at Herington. ali By the Associated Press, TOPEKA, Kan., May 11.—Two persons were drowned and severa) are missing in floods that in- vaded four towns in Kansas today as the result of torrential rains. At Herrington two unidentified Mexicans were drowned, three more were reported missing and at least 10 persons were in hospitals sufering from: injuries and ex- posure. Lime Creek swept through the town early today after an eight- inch downpour. Water was knee deep in business houses in Council Grove. About 150 homes were flooded. William Larimer, and his wife were cling- ing to a tree top waiting rescue as soon as the strong current sBub- sided enough to permit boats to reach them. They saved them- selves by grasping branches of the tree as their house was swept away. Boats were being uscd to salvage merchandise and household goods Dozens of persons were rescued from house tops and other perches of safcty when the sud- denly rising water swept through Herington. The siceping town was aroused by warning blasts of the siren at the City Water plant. Two bridges and about 15 frame buildings were washed away. tains of near cloudburst pro- portions in Salina and vicinity sent flood waters from Spring and Gypsum creeks running waist deep in the main streets at Gypsum. At Lindsborg many homes were 6ur- rounded by water following a rain- fall of 4.28 inches. EX-GOV, BAKER’S CONDITION Special to tne Pom-Dispatch. REPORTED SLIGHTLY IMPROVED Suggested Improvements, Among the engineer's suggestions for improvement of the existing street car service are; Reduce. stopping places to average of eight per mile, or 660 feet apart, from the present average of 11.1 per mile: There now are 4425 stops in 400 miles of the city system. Substitute modern cars for those cars on the system which require too much time for load- ing and unloading passengers, the new trolleys to be similar to the front-entrance, center-exit type now used on the Olive and Grand lines principally. More direct routes in the inter- mediate and outlying districts, Improved routing in the down- town district, eliminatng many turns and provding a smooth , flow of transportation for the heavy passenger traffic there. Radical Changes Proposed. The reroutigg plan involves es- tablishment of one new trolley line, discontinuation of six lines and part of another, three mergers of two lines each, and changes of routings on 13 other lines, mostiy of major character. Only five lines would cont’ ue .on the present routeés—Grand, Broadway, Park, Taylor and Union—but a loop to replace the “Y” for Grand cars at Virginia avenue and Meramec street is advocated. The proposed new line, to be called Highteenth, would give cross town service from Twenty-third street and St. Louis avenue to Gra- vois avenue and “Cherckee etrect, via Eighteenth street between Carr MRS.
