PLAN TO REVISE LAW ON TARIFF <CONTI.NI F.D FROM PAGE ONE) iff revision. They point jointly so the fact that tariff revision was mentioned byHoover and the republican platform as the primary principle of farm relief. and they agree the farm relief question cannot possibly be solved in the rush of routine business before March. Farm representatives want a protective tariff on hides, onions, eggs, vegetables and fruits to encourage diversification of American farm production. Some of them want a much higher tariff on corn to shut out Argentine competition. They are dissatisfied with the work of the tariff commission, powers of which havJ been considered inadequate to meet the situation because the law provides the commission may increase existing duties only 50 per cent. Industrials want the tariff on some of their products increased, and see I their chance to get action presently. They believe they can take advantage of what they regard as a protective wave over the ccwntry as a result of the republican victory in the election Democrats generally agree with the westerners but disagree with the industrialists. The democrats want to lower tariffs on many industrial products hence they too are wholeheartedly for bringing up that almost-aban-doned legislative subject. Representative expressions of the sentiments of the various groups were given the United Press by Senators Borah. Repn., Idaho; Reed, Repn., Pa.; Brookhart, Repn., Iowa; McMaster, Repn., S. D.; and Harrison, Dem., Miss. Reed was the only one who did not favor an extra session but he wanted the tariff revised. “Even the McNary-Haugen bill would not have been enough without tariff revision." Brookhart said. “We won’t have time to do it in the short sesion but we will do it in the extra session.’’ o Government Continues To Secure Theft Evidence Indianapolis, Nov. 14. — <U.R) —The government today continued its attempt t > convict 15 defendants on trial here in connection with an alleged Interstate automobile theft ring.

The lifeboat, survivors said, had no rudder, and they were unable to help themselves much beyond keeping the lifeboat headed into the waves, waiting for a rescue boat. Some of them swam alongside the sinking Vestris for nearly half an hour before they got aboard the life boat. The boat picked up by the Berlin was the third launched from the Vestris. The first two were those that capsized on being lowered. The third broke away while still empty and before being completely lowered. Arch Banister, negro boatswain's mate, performed the heroic act that saved many lives. He leap- ( ed into the sea. captured the drifting lifeboat and called to those on deck to jump. He maneuvered the boat in ’ the waves until the had picked up the 22 who. with himsefif, were rescued ■ by the Berlin. All were men. Maxey criticized the ship's officers for not sending out an SOS Sunday night. , “Capt. Carey seemed undecided and did not seem to know what to , do," the Virginia man said. “We ran into a hurricane at midt night Saturday and by Sunday morning the Vestris showed a decided list. I believe the bulkhead broke but I am not certain. Everyone seemed 1 calm. "The list was so bad on Sunday ’ that the bird cages broke from the 1 walls of the dining room.

Adams was reticent about discussing the sinking of the Vestris and , said he would make a complete report to the company. "1 do not know the cause," he told the United Press. "Our sea valve ■was workHtg perfectly. 1 know that up did not hit any submerged wreckage.” I He ventured the opinion that perhops the cargo might have shifted, but said he had not fondation for his i belief.

Mack continued was I the first of the rescue vessels to reach the scene. "Through the night we could see ; the flares sent up from the Berlin but ! we had no answering flares and had j ,to remain in the boat, just watching ! until dawn." Mack “eported. 'Once we had the thought of hooking out life boat to several others which were circling about us. That was impossible. We had no rudder to direct our boat and had nothing 1 to make the hook up. We could ' shout to the people in the other 1 boat s.” Mack said the first part of the Vestris to be flooded was the boiler room. It began to fill Sunday after the ship had developed its serious starboard list after the gale Satur- ! day night. “Several of us stood waiting on . the deck while the boats were being 1 tilled," Carlos Quiros, chancellor of I the Argentine embassy in WashingI ton said. “I personally saw that one boat had 1 a hole in it. I saw the sai'ors trying frantically to nail a board across that bole and I saw that boat sink 100 feet from the ship's side, throwing •50 persons into the sea. ‘ I, and those wso were beside me vmped into the sea and swam about.

MR. WILLIAM V. DESMOND When all else has failed; when the hope of regaining health fades; when the sufferep * a about to give up—in thousands of such cases Konjola, the new and different medicine with Its 22 herb and root juices, affects quick and lasting recoveries. There is much of hope for all who suffer in tlie words of Mr. William V Desmond, 311 West Broadway, Kokomo, Indiana, who declares: “Chronic constipation and miserable indigestion had undermined my health, and my system was full of poisons. I tried medicine upon medicine. but got no better. I had begun to fear that at my age, 69, there was little or no hope for relief. As I read about the wonderful success of Konjola, I resolved to see if this remedy would help me. It surely did. Within three weeks, my system -was completely cleansed of poisons, constipa- ’ tion disappeared and my stomach put ,I in fine shape. I am well and hearty, and enjoying life like I did years ago. . What a wonderful work in the world there is for Konjola.” i Konjola’s fame rests upon thouI sands of cases like this; new and tj glorious health through this supert remedy when all else had failed. Konjola is sold in Decatur, Ind., at ) j Smith, Yager & Falk’s drug store i and by all the best druggists through--1 out this section.

Oftentimes they learn things by contact with hardened persons behind the prison walls that cause them to continue on the ' downward path with great detriment to society. "Could they be saved by a single chance, shurely it Is advisable to give It to them. "No state or society should imprison persons out of a mere spirit of revenge,” That the building programs asked by the various penal institutions are sorely needed is shown in pleas attached to the budgets by the superintendents. The Michigan City state prison requests a new cell house to cost $159.800 and a $30,000 factory building. It was pointed out that 415 prisoners ate now sleeping in factory’ buildings, two-thirds in dormitories and only 570. i less tha none-third, in proper cells. At the Indiana state farm, Green- ! castle, two new dormitories to cost $25,000, an $18,500 industrial building and a $25,000 chapel ate requested. Here also attention is called to overcrowding. Superintendent Andrew F. Miles asks a $45,000 dormitory and $40,000 trade school at Indiana state reformatory. WOMEN ' ALWAYSAJTRACT You want to be beautiful.
