BRITAIN READY TO RETALIATE IN TARIFF WAR Roused by Duties Against Its Goods; Prepare to Hit U. S. Products. HiU HER RATES FEARED America Chief Target of Exclusion Policy on Foreign Trade. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, May 10.—Aroused by the high tariff wall which congress has imposed against British goods, and fearing still higher duties as a result of the present Haw-ley-Smoot bill, Great Britain is preparing to strike back at American products. Due largely to our ever-increasing tariff, it may be said that free trade in Britain already is a thing of the past. All three of the older parties favor some form of protection, or “safeguarding.” as they term it, while a fourth, called the United Empire party, has sprung into existence with that as the main plank in its platform.

Chief Target

The United Empire party was organized with the expressed purpose of keeping foreign products out of the British empire and to promote trade withih the empire itself. And the United States is the principal reason for. and target of. its crusade. So powerful has this group grown that for a time it seemed almost to threaten the very existence of the old Conservative party, numerically, the strongest in Britain. Angered because the United States is shutting out more and more of their goods, tens of thousands of Britishers rallied to the banner of the new party, to the consternation of Tories and Liberals whose ranks were being decimated. Seeing which way the wind was blowing, former Premier Stanley Baldwin, Conservative leader, quickly called a meeting of party representatives and, in a set speech, formally embraced the United Empire doctrine. Today the new party stands virtually merged with the old, which merger bodes ill for America s foreign trade. Two-Fifths of U. S. Exports The British empire buys twofifths of all the stuff we sell aboard. The United Kingdom and Canada alone consume about a third of our total exports, and both today are on the warpath against us, charging that our duties are unreasonable and unfairly high. British imports from the United States are declining. In 1925 they bought well over $1,000,000,000 worth of goods from us. In 1926 there was a drop of 7 per cent and in 1927 another 13.6 per cent and at this low figure business has teetered for the past two years. Proportionately, as we have allowed fewer British goods to enter our country, the British have bought less and less of ours. But we have been hut much worse than the British for as she bought more from us than we from her there was more room for ; our trade to decline. It might be said that for every British worker laid off because of the slump in Britain's sales to the ers have lost their jobs because of United States, two American wrorkthe slump in America’s sales to Britain. Hoover Veto Feared WASHINGTON, May 10.—Fears that President Hoover may veto the Grundy billion-dollar tariff bill found expression today in ranks of the Grundy forces. Simultaneously, plans ofr anew attack on the general upward revision of duties took form in the senate.

A confidential letter, reaching members of the senate finance committee from one of the foremost protectionist organizations in the country, acknowledgedes the bill now in conference is Tmposing the highest levels of duties in all history.” The letter suggests, “Mr. Hoover will not go into raptures of delight when it is sent to him. It is a general revision, and he called for a limited revision only.’” The new attak on the schedules will come when the conference report reaches the senate, perhaps ten days hence. It will be based on the j continued growth of United States! exports of manufactured and semimanufactured goods, as disclosed by recent commerce department reports.

TROOPS RULE AFTER TEXANS LYNCH NEGRO Courthouse Is Burned to Ground, Guards Hurt by Rioters. HACK FIREMEN’S LINES Body of Man Charged With Assaulting Woman Is Cut From Tree. Bu United Pres* _ „ Sx-ERMAim, Tex., May 10.—Com* pai alive quiet was restored here today when militia reinforcements irom Dallas and Ft. Worth arrived to subdue rioters who lor fifteen hours terrorized the town after burning Lie Grayson county courthouse as a final resort, in lynching a Negro. Ine town virtually was under martial law as 300 national guardsmen patrolled the streets. Two members of the mob were in hospitals and four guardsmen were injured. Twelve men were lodged in the county jail today, charged with incendiarism and instigating mob violence. All are under 25 years of age. Body Dragged Through Streets The burned body of George Hughes, object of the lynching, who was suffocated in a vault where he was locked for safe keeping, was cut down from a cottonwood tree today. It was strung up after the mob had removered it from the vault and dragged it through the Negro residential district, and a fire tsarted under it. Hughes, 41-year-old Negro, was charged with assaulting Mrs. Drew Farlow. Not content with the destruction of the courthouse in which Hughes died, and with driving other Negroes from town, the mob spent its enegries attacking and harassing the guardsmen. The guardsmen were ttacked shortly after dusk, when they were ordered to march to the courthouse to recover the body of Hughes. Ringleaders of the rioting, unconvinced Hughes was dead, recognized the move as an indication that Hughes was alive ad that the troopers were going to rescue him. Guardsmen Are Driven Back

Unable to reach the vault—buried deep in the smoking ruins—the rioters attacked the guardsmen, driving them back two block to the county jail, where they sought refuge. After midnight the mob obtained the body of the Negro and dragged it through city streets, ending their ghastly march in the Negro district, where it was tossed on a pile of burning timbers. While it burned the rioters fired other buildings in the neighborhood. Conditions became serious early Friday afternoon when Hughes’ trial opened. The Negro was guarded by the redoubtable Captain Frank Hamer, two-fisted, two-gun Texas ranger, who is knpwn as the official “mob buster” of the state, and four other rangers. They spirited him into the courthouse before the crowd was ware of their actions. Ambulance Excites Crowd The presence of the ambulance, bringing Mrs. Farlow to the courthouse and the sight of the injured woman being borne into the building on a stretcher, excited the crowd. Instantly, the rioters started throwing rocks and sticks through the courtroom windows and later attacked the officers. Sheriff Arthur Vaughn said an unidentified woman started the rush for the basement of the building which resulted in the firing of the courthoi se. The flames, fed by gasoline and kerosene, soon were beTnd control and it seemed for a minute the county judge and attorney would be burned. They escaped down ladders which firemen hoisted to them. “Roast him! Roast him! Roast him! Burn him alive! Burn him alive” They chanted. Hose Lines Are Slashed Firemen, summoned to the scene, were stopped by rioters who destroyed their apparatus and hacked their hose lines to pieces. Arrival of the guardsmen was believed by many to have caused the outbreak of hostilities. “The trouble had quieted down some after the building had been destroyed,” said Karl Shock, manager of the Bell Telephone Comoany at Sherman. “But arrival of guardsmen started new hostilities. The mob showed open resentment to interference by the militia and turned on the troops.” During the fighting four guardsmen were injured, one seriously. Two of the mob were treated at the hospital. Mob Led by Woman The mob split into two crowds after the troops had taken shelter in the pail The majority returning to the courthouse. "The mol was led by some woman I’ve never seen around town,’ said Mary Mitchell, employed as a cashier in a drug store across the street from the courthouse, “but for the most part and even boys seemed to be the ones who stirred up all the trouble. They were armed with clubs and stones from 9:30 o’clock until after midnight.” Shortly after midnight a deepthroated roar rose from the rioters crowded about the courthouse. They hafi speeded in removing Hughes' body from the vault and had tied a rope around it. It^a^^^peddown

Va., May 10.— Walter Crabtree, 35, was hanged at the state penitentiary here Friday night while the last strains of his death march, chanted by a prison quartet, echoed throughout the steel cells.

COUNTY G.O.P. SPLIT LOOMS; HUGG BALKS Refusal of ‘Promotion’ to District Chairmanship May Muddle Plans. ‘SHELVING’ IS CHARGED Coffin’s Action Is Cause of Squabble Among Republican Chiefs. Refusal of Martin M. Hugg to permit his “elevation'’ from county chairman to district chairman, has thrown a monkey wrench in the carefully made reorganization plans of George V. Coffin, Marion county Republican boss, it was learned today. A hurry-up meeting of the important ward chairman was called for this morning, and if all attempts to induce Hugg to accept the district post fail, another will be selected to succeed William L. Taylor, who has “stepped out.” Plans formulated at the Friday conferences called for the election of Clyde E. Robinson as county chairman and Hugg as district chairman when t> vounty and district on convention is held this afternoon. Selected for Chairman Robinson, who is county treasurer and also treasurer for the county organization, was selected for county chairman Friday at a meeting of major ward chairmen with George V. Coffin in the office of Schuyler Haas, Lemcke building. There it was decided to “elevate” Hugg to the district post, name Robinson chairman; retain Wayne Emmelman as secretary and elect Mrs. Ovid Butler Jameson, district vice-chairman, succeeding Mrs. Julia elle' Tutewiler. and Mrs. Bloorm.Jd H. Moore, county vicechairman, succeeding Mrs. Arthur R. Robinson. The program was passed out to the "boys” and at a meeting of the successful Republican candidates, called by Frank Cones, nominee for treasurer, it was decided to keep “hands off” and abide by the choice of the committee. Hugg, however, called a meeting of the ward chairmen when he learned he was to be made district chairman, and protested vigorously. Hugg Minces Few Words He minced no words in declaring that this was simply a device to shelve h f m and that his election was county chairman in 1929 after the municial election debacle had been meant merely as an attempt to still the cry of “Coffinism.” “I have made an effort to rehabilitate the organization and did this merely as a Republican interested in the welfare of the party,” he said. ‘My actions have not met with approval and I am ready to step out.” Hugg said he knew that during the pre-primary campaign ward chairmen did lip service to him and- received the orders they actually followed from Cof3n in Haas’ office.

* Quiet In Democrats’ Ranks Precnict committeemen felt keenly Hugg’s decision not to become district chairman and expressed Implicit faith in his integrity. The Democratic program has been decided upon without much bickering at the convention this afternoon in the Claypool. Meredith Nicholson, well known author and former city councilman, will be elected to the now vacant post of district chairman. Mrs. Carl E. Wood will be re-elected vicechairman and H. Nathan Swaim, county chairman. The selection of a vice-chairman will be left to the committee women, although Mrs. Love E. Worrel, is favored. Howard H. Bates will be county chairman, and Ross H. Wallace, president of the Aetna Trust Company, treasurer. With the declaration early in the week of Leroy J. Keach, that he does not desire to be re-elected county chairman, the way was cleared for complete reorganization. CURWOOD’S SON KILLED l Injuries, When Plane Hits Tree in Landing, Prove Fatal.
