Vote on Tariff
Emergency Bill
Expected Today
Dramatic Incidents Mark Long
Debate on Measure in
House Texas Delega
tion Again Split.
Washington, April 14. Several
changes in the lineup in the house
on emergency tariff legislation since
the Fordney measure was passed,
only to be vetoed, were revealed to
day during debate on the emer
gency bill. Debate will be contin
ued tomorrow, but supporters e.v
pect a vote before adjournment.
The five and a half hours of de
bate was marked by a dramatic
contribution by Bourke Cochran
democrat, New York, veteran of
other years. Asserting that danger
lies ahead in a policy of attempting
to cure all the country's ills by leg
islation, he predicted ''long lines of
tarnishing men and women in front
ot soup houses ere present condi
tions pass.
"1 apprehend," lie said, "that when
those lines form they will not stand
in silent submission as they have
done before. 1 apprehend some
thing more menacing, more danger
ous to civilization, to our govern
ment and to us.
"1 doubt if the fall of the Roman
empire was more disastrous to the
world at large than the conditions
1 wc lace threaten to be.
1 he 1 exas delegation showed a'
split again, despite the binding reso
lution of the democratic caucus yes
terday. Representative Garner, al
though he voted for the bill last
season, was in charge of the op
position today as the floor manager,
while Representative Hudspeth
spoke in support of the bill. Mr.
Hudspeth assailed provisions of the
Underwood tariff act, which he de
clared had made sheep sell in El
Paso, Tex., at 55 cents a, head and
wool at 4 cents a pound.
Mr. Fordney, in replying to state
ments in the minority report, said
they did him a "very great injus
tice." He referred to charges that
he favored the bill because of pri
vate commercial connections.
"I never owned $1 worth of sugar
stock in my life," he exclaimed heat
edly. ; "
Sanction of Colombian
Pact Urged by Leaders
(Continued From re One.)
ciat, member of the foreign relations
committee, lauded President Harding
for laying aside party prejudices and
attempting to right the wrongs which
he said Mr. Roosevelt had commit
ted against Colombia.
Colombia Conceded Rights.
As amended, the treaty states that
the two nations desire to ' remove
misunderstandings growing out of
the Panama secession, which have
impaired their friendship. Certain ca
nal and railroad traffic rights are
accorded Colombia and the United
States agrees to pay Colombia $25,
000,000 in five equal annual install
ments. Colombia recognizes Pana
ma and a boundary between the two
states laid down in the treatv.
Secretary of the Interior Fall saiJ
in a letter to Senator Lodge on
March 21:. "It is undoubtedly true
that American oil interests are much
interested in the friendly settlement
of all outstanding difficulties with
Colombia," and dwelt on . the vast

REPuaEc , -
Peggy Hopkins
Noncommittal on
Divorce Action
Actress Refuses' to Enlighten
Public as to Move She Con
templates Malting to Com- ,
bat Husband's Charges.
By EARL L. SHAUB.
(I'alTenal Service SUtt Correiuudirt.)
Chicago. April 14. What move
will Peggy Hopkins make in her lat
est tangle with matrimony and mil
lions? - .
This was a matter of conjecture
here today as the annulment suit
brought by James Stanley Joyce,
lumber prince, against the pretty
ictress and artists model was wide
ly discussed;
It is Peggy's next move. Will
she oppose the divorce or juft write
it down as her third matrimonial
venture and let it go at that?
If she has had all t,he affairs of
the heart that Joyce mentions in his
bill, filed in circuit court yesterday,
she - has undoubtedly developed the
ability to make a clever move. What
will it be?
"Off Millionaire Hubbies.'.'
Perhaps she will reassert her prev
ious statement that she "is oft mil
lionaire husbands for life. ..
N Or will she stick to the. interview
she gave out last summer in Paris
when she said:
"I love Joyce and will love him
until death."
Joyce names five men in his suit.
All are well known in one part of
the world or another. His charges
carry an atmosphere or scented sec
rets of Parisian boudoirs and the
gilded, giddy romance in the fash
ionable, racy resorts of two conti
nents. 4 Secrets Are Snappy.
The secrets are snappy and com
pose the evidence gathered by de
tectives on both sides of the At
lantic. Joyce not only asks for the
annulment of the marriage, which
he says was illegal, but he wants
back at least half of the $1,000,000
he says he spent on her since their
wedding on January 23, 1920, at
Palm Beach, Fla.
Part of the money, he says, went
into a $200,000 home and $50,000
into furniture at Palm Beach. The
rest went into silks, jewels and cash.
Woman Aids Her.
From an unexpected quarter aid
came today to the former star in
"It Pays to Flirt." Florence Wal
ton, once wife and dancing partner
of Maurice Mauvet, known on the
stage as "Maurice," donied an affair
of any seriousness had existed be
tween Peggy and Maurice." Mr.
Joyce had named Maurice among
the five men. v y
Peggy is said to be "the first' girl"
in Joyce's life. They met in Miami,
Fla.,' and married two days after she
divorced Sherburne Hopkins, a
Washington attorney. Joyce says
the marriage was Illegal because .the
necessary time required by law in
Texas, where the decree was grant
ed, had not expired between the di
vorce and wedding.'
Two Chicagoans to Serve
Life as Habitual Criminals
. Hammond, Ind., April 14. Two
Chicago men were sentenced today
to life imprisonment under the new
"habitual criminal" act.
Gabriel Moffett was charged with
taking cash for cars of corn and
making no deliveries. Charles
Sometimer was found to be a pro
fessional burglar.
Both were held by Judge Martin
Smith to be habitual criminals.

Declares Representative Will
Take Up Question With
"Ardent Desire to Find
Satisfactory Solution."
Paris, April 14. Premier Briand
has dispatched to Washington a
note acknowledging receipt of the
communication from the American
state department regarding the
mandate over Pacific islands north
of the equator which was given to
Japan,
The premier's note says a repre
sentative of France will take up the
question when it comes before the
supreme allied council, "with the
most ardent desire to find a solution
giving satisfaction to the Lnited
States."
After acknowledging receipt of
the American communication,
Premier Briand's note says:
'The memorandum, beinir ad
dressed to Great Britain, Italy and
Japan simultaneously, a reply can
not be made until alter an accora
between the governments of the
four interested powers at the next
meeting of the supreme council.
I desire, however, to declare now
that when the question comes be
fore the supreme council the repre
sentatives of France will approach
the oucstion with the most ardent
desire to find a solution satisfactory
to the United States. Your excel
lency knows that already the gov
ernment of the republic has done
all that depended upon it to give its
aid in this question to the American
government.
Japan Knew of Attitude.
"By the note of February 18, after
having noted that the decision ot
May 7, 1919, carried with it no re
striction concerninn the attribution
to japan of a mandate for the islands
of the northern Pacific, my depart
ment explained to your embassy
that, however, in view of the fact
that President Wilson and Secretary
of State Lansing, in the course of
the preceding meeting had formu
lated, in the presence of the Japanese
rpnresentative. catceorical reserva
tions on the subject of the island of
Yap that thereon "Makino (Japanese
representative on the supreme coun
cil) had not refused to allow discus
sion of the question raised by the
rcnccscntativcs of the United States,
and that, consequently, the Japanese
government had knowledge ot tn;
American reservations.
The note concluded by saying
that there were contained in it ele
ments for further conversation be
tween the United States and Japan
which the government of the repub
lic would be happy to see result sat-
sfactorily.
That note was the same day com
municated to the Japanese embassy
in Paris, and your excellency was
kind enough to express to my de
partment a lively satisfaction with
the same," and to give assurance that
it would be particularly appreciated
in Washington.

Mellon May Urge
Sale Tax in Place
Of Income Levy
roseinie 10 worK uut iew
Plan of Revenue in
Opinion of Secretary
Of Treasury.
Chlfo Tribune-Omaha B I.mtrd Wire,
Washington, April 14. Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon is expected
to inform congress that a general
sales tax should not be imposed so
long as the progressive income tax
is maintained as the foundation of the
tax structure.
This position w ill be in accord with
that of former Secretary of the Treas
ury Houston and of Dr. i nomas b.
Adams, professor of economics at
Yale university and chairman of the
advisory tax board of the Treasury
department. Mr. Adams was the chief
adviser of the secretary of the treas
ury during the last administration
and is continuing 111 the same ca
pacity under Secretary Mellon.
While no announcement has been
made by Secretary Mellon as to his
recommendations relative to the re
vision of the tax laws, he indicated
today that his views will not differ
in any radical degree from those of
Dr. Adams.
No objection is offered by Dr.
Adams to special sales taxes yield
ing an aggregate of not more than
one-quarter of the total revenue de
rived from taxation.
It is the understanding that Secrc
tary Mellon will inform congress that
if it is considered that the progressive
income tax system should become a
secondary party of the tax structure,
it would be entirely possible to work
out a satisfactory sales tax. The
expectation, however, is that the sec
rctary will take the position that the
progressive income tax should not
in his opinion, be eliminated as the
basic feature of the tax system.
Investigation of the activities- of
Jules S. Bache and Mever Roths
child of New York, who have been
active in behalf of a sale tax. was
proposed on the floor of the house
today by Representative Fear of
Wisconsin.
