Washington, April 10. The senate
(inance committee has determined not
to have hearing on the tariff bill.
Manufacturers' In many lines of ln
tfuctry have appealed for-an oppor
tunity to present arguments against
the rates proposed In the L'nclerwood

tukc the, position, however, that the
hearing conducted by the house ways
and means committee In January was
sufficiently thorough to cover practi
cally all points the. senate needs to
consider In connection with the tariff
revirlon. It Is believed now that the
tariff bill after It finally reaches the
senate will "'not remain In the com
mittee more than ten days. 1 -'
The senate was not In session today
and members continue the study of
the tariff bill in private.
Republican forces are preparing" for
u united attack upon the democratic
revision on the ground that it not only
destroys-nil protection to many Amer
ican industries, but that In many fea

Waynesvllle, April 10. The picture
of two years old Roberta Hannah, as
she was found in the rock cave In the
mountains five miles north of Waynes
vllle, where her old grandmother, It
Is alleged, left her to perish nf cold
and hunger, is to be exhibiteu in the
moving picture shows. Someone, pre
sumably Nancy Kerlee, tho grand
mother, a woman of sixty, had built
a stone wall three feet high at the
mouth of the cave, making It Impos
sible for the baby to get out.
When the search for the child be
gun, March 30, there were 25 in the
party. It had dwindled to four by
Thursday,- a week ago, when Frank
Jones, a boy of 13, made the gruesome
find. The other three were standing
on the top of the cave when Frank
noticed the wall, and called to them
that he believed the child was In
there. He removed two or three of
the stones, revealing the body.
Tho picture of the child as found In
the cave has been selling in great
numbers on the streets here.
It. will be recalled that the grand
mother said she had given Roberta to
Rev. Mr. Flncher. Shortly thereafter
she went to the home of Mrs. Georgia
Ketner at Maggie, and passed herself
as Mrs. Flncher. She induced Mrs.
Ketner to . write a letter to herself

Memphis Tenn., April 10. Absence
of rain and occasional splashes of sun
shine today-brought renewed hope, to
the thousands of workers who spent
a night In uhxlous watching along the
levees that are holding the Mississippi
flood from trie fields und forests ol
eastern and northeastern Arkansas.
These are considered the most critical
along the river at present. This
morning's reports show that with the
exception of the crevasse ut Wilson
all the embankments were holding.
The gauge at Memphis showed a full
of one-tenth at 10 o'clock from the 7
o'clock reading at 46.5. At Wyanoke,
just below Memphis, u six Inch fall
wus 'reported, while at Mound City,
Just above this city, a full of two and
one-half Inches was indicated. Ac.
cording to the forecaster, the river will
be about stationary with a falling ten
dency in this territory for the next 24
hours. P.Iver experts, however, state
that the break at Wilson will relieve
the situation considerably and should
show a drop In the river at Memphis
of four to six Inches. Reports from
Osceola, where the situation was crlti
cal last night, today were that the ad
dltional labor had been secured and
the banks were holding. The iam
information was received from Lux-
ora, about three miles farther north
on the same stretch of levee.
At Wilson the break was reported
widening .slowly. The water from thfe
crevasse will flood about 300,000 acres
of farming and timber land and, to
gether with the water from the Graves
bayou crevasse, Is expected to cover
about 40 per cent of the St. Francis
basin, which comprises about 1,800,-
000 acres.

policy of the new administration as
outlined today to the Navy League of
the United States in its eighth annual
convention by Franklin D. Roosevelt,
assistant secretary of the navy. His
statement created enthusiasm. It was
regarded as directly reflecting the
lews of Secretary Daniels and the
White House.
Mr, Roosevelt called on the mem
bers of the league to aid in popularis

cleared that as effective work could
be done outside the navy as within It.
He dwelt on the need for' the support
of the secretary of the navy and the
administration's naval policy.
This Is not a question of war or
peace, he said. "I take it there are
as many advocates of arbitration and
international peace in the navy as in
any other . profession. - But we are
confronted with another condition

Washington, April 10, Higher
prices for cold storage products have
been the rule ever since the Industry
became commercially important, as
shown by data for more than 80 years
back collected by the department of
agriculture.
George K. Holmes, chkf of the -di
vision of production and distribution
of the department, has discovered
from a comprehensive study of these
tlgures that from 1902 to lll mere
was a "general but not Invariable rise
ot prices" as compared with the pre-'
ceding years before cold storage was
a developed industry. As to uniform
ity of prices he finds that "the conten
tion of the cold storage Interests that
cold storage has counted for uniform
ity of prices, b largely true although It
Is not true for all commodities nor for
all comparisons of years and periods
of years."
There Is a tendency towards ich
uniformity, he says. In -reswd poul
try, butter, eggs and mutton while
the reverse Is true as to fresh beef
