Senator Borah said he thought mo of the Senators already had made up their minds as to how they would vote on most of the rates In the bill, adding he did not wish to tee the bill fail. "Some provisions of the bill are of vital moment to the American peo ple." he asserted. "If by our inac tion or delay or neglect we shall los jome ot Its provisions we would be doing a substantial Injury to the American people.

"While I am Interested In th rates," he went on. "I am more Interested in the administrative features of the bill as they relate to the executive and legislative bodies." This referred to the flexible provi sion of the tariff act which the coal ition amended to take from the President and give to Congress authority to raise or lower duties fifty per cent on recommendation of the tariff commission. Smoot's proposal was made shortly after the Sena'e convened. It was preceded by Senator Norrls, of Neb raska, a Republican Independent, of- ferlnif an amendment designed prevent radical pyramiding oi ailing prices on imported goods by the Im position of a tax of 99 Tper cent ol the retail price after allowing for duty, freight, Insurance and a profit of 23 per cent. Senator Norrls contended "enormous and unconscionable profits" were being made on cheaply produced foreign ar.lcles apparently under a "gentlemen's agreement" between Importers and producers of similar goods in this country, Snioot'j suggestion, however, slde-racked discussion of the Norrls proposition.

During his discussion of Smoot's proposal Borah said that if the coalition were to "measure up" to Its faith In the flexible clause as re written It would seek to preserve it from elimination In conference. "We can only do that by speedily Disslne the bill on to those who will be responsible for destroying it, il it's destroyed, he added. Senator Slrr.mons said he d'd not believe there would be any prolonged discussion of amendment from now on as the coalition largely had made ur its mind how it was going to vote He predicted the bill would be passed by the Senate before the special ses slon expires. "I hope so, at least," said, adding the rev's on must be done In the open and not by suppression of discussion. Contending the opposition amen fo ment restoring to Congress the power now held by the executive to change customs duties after investigation by the Tariff Commission was of "In estimable importance," Simmons said Congress could revise tariffs under it as quickly as under the flexible clause At the same time, he said a niPthod had been provided to safeguard the Tariff Commission against Influences that have operated In the past to prejudice Its actions.

More than half of the two weeks which President Hoover said he hoped would see the tariff bill sent to conference had expired today as the Senate resumed consideration of the measure, with work on less than onc-flfth of the schedules completed. Action yesterday brought adoption by the Senate of more than a score of amendments. In complete possession of the bill, the coalition brushed aside the resistance of the administration group and continued Its assault upon proposed finance committee Increases. Some of the reductions approved, however, have been proposed by Uie committee Republicans. A cut In the tariff on automobiles and motorcycles from 25 to ten per cent, was adopted and elimination of the countervailing clause of the present law which permits this country to meet all increases Imposed by foreign countries on American cars, was approved, THREATS FOLLOW MOSES' STATEMENT WASHINGTON.

I TE California Flier Falls 3700 Feet Before He Can Leap Clear WAS MAKING TEST OF NEW INVENTION TRACY, Nov.

9 (AP). Alive only because he made a "e-markable escape from an airplane that swathed itself in a huge para chute and fell 3700 feet before he could leap clear, E. J. McKeon, San Mateo aviator, automatically became a member of the Caterpillar Club today. McKeon went aloft yesterday In an old mail plane to test a new parachute system, designed to protect fog-bllnded fliers.

Strapped to the end o. each upper wing was big parachute, rcleasable by wires leadlns to the cockpit. The theory of the Invention, designed by Charles Broadwlck, of San Francisco, was that a pilot, lost in fog, could reha.se the parachutes, drift downward until he got his bearings, cut away the 'chutes and go on his Climbing to 5200 feet McKeon released the big parachutes, while 25 aviation expert watched from below and a protographer took pictures In an accompanying plane. The left parachute opened, slowly; the right one remained closed. Tha plan? went into a flat spin, winding itself up in the opened parachute as if making a shroud for Itself.

Under the silken folds, McKeon was trapped in the cockpit. Droppllng rapidly then, the old plane gyrated madly, while McKeon fought his way out of the silken death cell. The doomed plane was 1,500 feet from the ground when he popped out from under the cloth and crawled out on a wing. A sudden spin broke his hold and he slid down the wing, catching a ttrut. The next Instant he hurled himself from the plane and dropped downward.

The falling plane followed closely. McKeon tugged at the ring of his own parachute. It did not open. Another thousand feet he fell and his 'chute opened, caught the air 500 feet from the ground. The falling plane was overtaking him, threatening to Jam through his parachute and perhaps drag to death In spite of all his efforts.

A heal.hy pull at the shrouds on one side 'of his parachute enabled him to float clear of the path or the plane. As he touched the earth the plane fell with a crash less than 100 feet away. The photographer In the accompanying ship obtained several pictures of the spectacular fall. And that was "Mickey" McKeon's first parachute jump. DENY CHUKCII DROPS TWELVE FOR STRIKING MARION.

1 JUMP Man on Deathbed Said to Have Confessed Setting Bombs EXONERATES MOONEY, NOW SERVING LIFE BELLAIRE, Ohio, Nov. 9. (AP). A statement by Mrs. George Monroe, a resident ot the mining; section near here, claiming that her brother, no dead, was responsible for the 1816 preparedness day bombing In San Francisco Instead of Tom Mooney.

was before authorities today. Mrs. Monroe said Lewis Smith, her brother, in a deathbed state-ment In Cleveland seven years ago, "confessed" that It was he who planted the bomb which took the lives of ten persons marching In the San Francisco parade. Her declaration corroborated a letter from Frank O. Stevens, inmate of the Dayton, Ohio, national military home, to Senator Thomas D.

Schall, of Minnesota. Mooney, now 46, serving a life sentence In a California prison. He at first was sentenced to be hanged, but Governor W. D. Stephens commuted this to life Imprisonment In November, 1918.

Mrs. Monroe, located on Stevens' Information, agreed with his story that Smith admitted he planted explosive In the prompt of being "well paid." Smith, however, said he received nothing for the outrage. His sister said he swore that Mooney had nothing to do with the bombing She did not press him for further details, she said, because she did not wish to become Involved in the case which has attracted nation-wide attention, DAYTON, Ohio, Nov. 9 Stevens, Spanish War veteran, who furnished officials with information relative to the Mooney bombing case in San Francisco, was taken to Cincinnati from his residence at the military home here last night by Federal officers for further questioning regarding his knowledge rf the ca.se SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9 (AP).

Superior Judge Franklin J. Griffin, ho presided at the trial of Thomas Mooney, in commenting on dispatches from Bella're, Ohio, that another n'an had been named as the perpe trator of the 1916 Pre -redness Day bombing, "It Is a story that should be run down. So far as 1 know, no real Investigation ever went beyond Mooney. No one has any Idea who jet ofl the bomb, to my knowledge If It is possible to check Smith' movements at the time of the bomb trg. It should be done.

If any truth found in the story It might serve the additional purpose of convincing those persons who are still reluctant to believe in Mooney 's Innocence Judge Griffin opinion as to Mooney's guilt during Mooney' trial, was not disclosed, officially at. least, expressed the belief later that additional facts brought out after ttie trial warranted a new hearing. Chief of these developments was thi charge that Frank C. Oxman, Dur-Icee, cattleman, principal witness against Mooney, had perjured himself. Oxman was tried for perjury but acquitted.

Mooney appealed to the State Supreme Court for a. new trial, which was denied. The Governor then commuted his death sentence to Hie Imprisonment. Demanding a pardon on th (round he is Innocent, Mooney has refused to apply for a parole, which officials have indicated would be granted if a request is made Several days ago, Warren serving a life sentence in connection with the bombing, nied a tetitlon for pardon with the State tiupremc Court, which must act before the Governor will consider a pardon.
