TARIFF BILL WOULD RAISE LIVINGCOSTS Greatly Increased Duties on Necessities Expected to Increase Prices. B' l riniiS-H Oirni'l jf;,<r Ulinnir WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—The tariff bill came from the senate finance committee majority today much as that body received it—carrying the highest general level of taxes in history with hundreds of upward changes which will increase the cost of living in the American heme. Downward revision of house rates pfleeting halt a dozen important ccmmcd.ties was balanced by scores of changes upward in other schedules, and in general those rates which were lowered are still far above the present duties. Economists who figured the house bill would increase the cost of living from $600,000,000 to $700,000,000 say the senate bill as it now stands would nearly equal that figure. Finance committee Republicans still have to consider the administrative features of the house bill, characterized by opponents as giving the President and the tariff commission almost czaristic powers, but their work on rates is finished- Democratic members were given copies of the completed schedules today. Bill May Raise Storm [ The whole bill is expected to be Reported to the senate about Sept. 4, there undoubtedly to be rewritten jn many important particulars, and with some observers predicting it will raise such a storm it will not pass in the special session. City consumers are especially hard hit by the bilL The finance committee met the charges made by agricultural interests that the bill discriminated against them by a general increase of agricultural duties, already raised from 50 to several hundred per cent by the house. Among the more important decreases of the house rates made by the senate committee were those on sugar, virgin wool, watches and clocks, diamonds and pearls, and autos. Duties were removed entirely on shingles, logs and maple and birch lumber, manganese ore and several minor products. Pleas for a tariff on crude oil and on jute were disregarded, and that on blackstrap molasses was left as it is. ■Wool Duty Tripled Against these decreases, the senate committee retained the house duties on bricks and cement, taxed for the first time, retained a 10 per cent tax on hides and compensatory’ 20 per cent duties on shoes, and increased the house taxes on leathers. The duty was tripled on cheap wools, used to make lowpriced clothing—a change expected to be reflected in increased prices. The house’s big increases on glass were generally left untouched, as were the rayon, cotton and sundries schedules, chemicals and tobacco. Many upward revisions appear in the metals schedule. Rayon rates were generally unchanged. The senate committee increased agricultural rates with a sweeping hand, particularly on milk and cream, maple sugar, dates, lemons, cherries and other fruits. The prohibitive taxes on potatoes and wheat were left unchanged, as were the house rates on flax and hemp, cattle, and other items. The sugar, brick, cement, hides and shoes and waste wool schedules are expected to bring bitter senate debate. The senate committee’s sugar increase amounts to about onehalf cent a pound, as against twothirds of a cent in the house bill. The auto tax was cut from 25 to 10 per cent for autos and trucks selling for less than SI,OOO, but the uslessness of the tariff on autos was admitted even by the industry.

ground, where the experiment is being tried. Lieutenant Frank Owen, head of the accident prevention bureau, assisted by Jesse P. McClure, head of the city recretation department and a Times representative, were to choose the nine boys who will try out the system. Their duties will be to promote safety on the grounds and to assit in the campaign of the police department toward reducing traffic accidents. The death of another child, struck by an auto during the past week, makes the importance of safety campaigns all the more urgent at this time. Chief Claude M. Worley has announced that extra effort will be made by the police department to prevent further fatalities this year. To carry out the program Owen is starting a series of safety talks in schools, offices and before other audiences. Several matrons and playground leaders have expressed their appreciation and support of the playground patrol. Mrs. Helen Parrish, matron at School No. 2 said: “We need the safety patrol system at No. 2. I have had to do a great amount of that kind of work myself heretofore, and am glad that an organization is being perfected by which we can enlist the aid of the children.” When told that Riley playground was to be used for experimental purposes, Mrs. Katherine Morlan, Riley matron, signified that the movement would have her heartiest support. “It is certainly a splendid plan and one that is much needed. We will do everything possible at Riley to make the system a success,” she said.

14 KILLED BY LIVE STEAM IN TRAINWRECK Victims Trapped Between Crumpled Walls of Steel Day Coach. Bu United Press HENRYETTA, Okla., Aug. 19. Wrecking crews today had cleared the scene of a Frisco train wreck near here where fourteen persons, trapped between the crumpled steel walls of a day coach, were burned to death by live steam when a Frisco passenger train was tripped from the rails by an open switch. The “Jim Crow” compartment of the “Oil Field Special” became an inferno for eleven Negro passengers when the coach lurched along the ties and overturned behind the wrecked locomotive in which the fireman and engineer were killed. The boiler of the half-buried engine burst and steam hissed back into the confused group of passengers, silencing their cries for help. Carrying seven coaches, the locomotive ran through the switch just after daylight Sunday. It was en route from Dallas to Tulsa and had slowed down to approximately thirty miles an hour as it approached Henryetta. The engine somersaulted into a seven-foot ditch, the mail car thundeed away 300 feet into the yard of an oil company nearby and the day coach was thrown down beside the engine. The last victim to be found was an unidentified white man, about 25 yeai-s old, who apparently had been riding in the blind vestibule of the day car. Eight persons were injured seriously. Four of them were Negroes riding in the forward car and four were passengers in the Pullman coaches which remained upright. Scores Hurt in Wreck Bu United, Press CONDIT, 0., Aug. 19.—A split rail was believed responsible today for the wrecking of a Pennsylvania excursion train near here Sunday in which three score persons were injured, only a few seriously. The train, a double-header earning more than 500 passengers from northern Ohio, was fifteen minutes behind schedule and was traveling sixty-nine miles an hour when the tender of the second engine left the rails. The first engine became detached and remaining upright sped 200 yards up the rails. The second locomotive careened and overturned and five of the twelve cars behind it buckled and piled in crazy fashion along the tracks. The coaches remained upright but holes were ripped in them and steel frame-work was wrenched. Two of the cars swerved and ripped down telegraph wires and several hours elapsed before railway officials were apprised of the seriousness of the wreck.

GERMANS WIN TILT ON RULE DF RHINELAND Jurists Abandon Briand’s Demand for Board of Control. BY FREDERICK KITH United Press Staff Correspondent THE HAGUE, Aug. 19.—Germany won its first victory today in its fight against a board of control for the Rhineland after the projected evacuation by allied troops. While the financial experts of France, Italy, Belgium and Japan met with the experts of Great Britain to estimate the advantages Britain receives under the Young plan, and to fix the value of the fourpower offers to date to satisfy Great Britain’s demands, the jurists were meeting with the subject of the Rhineland evacuation in the foreground. The jurists reported they were abandoning the project of Aristide Briand, premier of France, for a board of Rhineland control after the withdrawal of troops. Instead of this they will endow the existing condition commissions created by the Locarno treaties with the right of investigation of complaints about the Rhineland after the withdrawal of the armies of occupation. The meeting of the financial experts today is an outgrowth of the agreement Saturday evening of Philip Snowden, British chancellor of the exchequer, that such a procedure should be followed. He requested that the task be completely as possible. CHARGES DESERTION IN DIVORCE SUIT Man Alleges Wife Was Unfaithful; Married One Year.

“MY EXPERIENCE WITH KONJOLA WAS AMAZING” Indianapolis Lady Gains Strength, Energy and a Hearty Appetite Through New Medicine. Many of the amazing accomplishments of Konjola, the new and different medicine, would challenge belief were the actual facts not known and verified. Wherever this master medicine is introduced it is the

MRS. LAWRENCE LITTLE —Photo by National Studio. Illinois Bldg. same old story of success. Konjola is a medicine of performance, not words; of deeds, not promises. There is no secret, no magic about the amazing success of this superremedy. It is a scientific blend of 32 ingredients, of which 22 are the juices of roots and herbs long known for their medicinal value. What Konjola does, what it means to all who suffer and who would be well again, is being explained d_ily by the Konjola Man, who is at the Hook Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, Indianapolis. He has a message of cheer and hope for all who suffer from the ills of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels and from rheumatism, neuritis and nervousness. Call on this man, hear of case after case wherein Konjola brought the first and only relief. Hear of cases like that of Mrs. Lawrence Little, 1645 Alabama street, Indianapolis, who made this amazing statement to the Konjola Man a few days ago: “My experience with Konjola was amazing and it is with the greatest pleasure that I recommend this medicine to everyone who suffers as I once did. “A little more than a year ago I underwent an operation from which I never fully recovered. My strength and energy were at a low ebb. I seemed to be going steadily downhill in health. I tried many different medicines, seeking my former health, but the attempt was in vain for I continued to grow worse. I took the best of care of myself but to no avail. I had no appetite, food just did not tempt me. I found it impossible to enjoy sound, refreshing sleep. My nerves were all upset and made me weak and trembly, I became easily excited and unnerved. I had no energy and did not have any desire to enjoy life or the pleasures of life. I was tired and worn-out all the time. “I realized that It was very necessary to find the right medicine for my case because I realized that some sejious ailment would develop sooner or later. Konjola was recommended to me as a splendid tonic as well as a medicine and I deeded to give it a trial. That was the wisest move I could have made. Just as I was told this splendid remedy would do, it immediately began its wondrous work. I began to feel better in a few days. I could almost feel the surge of returning health. My strength and energy were restored and soon my nerves were soothed and calmed. Konjola increased my appetite and gave me restful sleep. Why I actually feel like a different person today. It is a wonderful thing to have my health again and I owe it all to Konjola. No wonder it is known as the world’s finest medicine.” Konjola contains no alcohol, no nerve-deadening drugs, no heartdepressing chemicals. It needs no such hazardous ingredients for it is all pure, wholesome medicine, every drop and every drop works. The Konjola Man is at the Hook Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, Indianapolis, where he is meeting the public daily, and explaining the merits of this m&tfrr medicine.—Advertise-
