William M. (Scotty) jack of Casper, speaker of the Wyoming house of representatives, today entered tha 1934 political lists with a formal announcement of his can- cuaacy ior the Democratic nomination for state auditor. Jack's announcement, which had been authoritatively forecast for several weeks, was made in a letter to Dr. Thomas K. Cassidy, chairman of the state Democratic central committee.

"I am herewith announcing my candidacy for the office of state auditor," jack wrote, "subject to the will and pleasure of the voters at the Democratic primary election this year. "I believe my eight years experience as a member of the Wyoming legislature, together with my responsibility as speaker iuring the regular and special session of the twenty-second Wvomln lesrislatnrp have so thoroughly informed me on matters or state government that I can efficiently and creditably perform the duties of office of state auditor to the satisfaction of the people of Wyoming." widely known throuehout the state, Jack has been regarded by friends as an authority on state government.

That was the prediction today of both Democratic, and Republican leader as they surveyed the measure passed along to them by the house. Although the bin will probably remain in committee for more than a week. Its appearance on the floor will end with a bang the four years of surcease from general tariff debate since congress built the highest tariff wall in history during the Hoover" administration.

After several days of comparatively listless argument, split distinctly along party lines, the Roosevelt-approved proposal passed th house yesterday 227 to 111. It was first amended, however, to limit its life to three years and to prevent any reductions of foreign debt. It would authorize the president to negotiate tariff reduction agreements with foreign nations without submitting them to the senate for approval as is required with other treaties, it also empowers the president to change tariff rates 50 per cent up or down without recommendation from 'the tariff commission is now thelaWi-J. Leaders do not expect the bill will be taken up by the finance committee for a week or ten days since the $330,000,000 revenue bill, just reported by that group, will hold the attention of committee members on the floor all next week.

C4 Two Lynn meo and a Boston lawyfr were und-sr arrest today on warrants charging conspiracy to murder Francis W. Vaughn of Daytona, wealthy retired rubber manufacturer and father-in-law of one of the trio. Those held were Marshall L. Cress, 24-year-old Barton attorney and son-in-law of Vaughn; Ernest V7. Pollister, 19, of Lynn, and Thomas Karydis, 27, also of Lynn.

Police charged Cross with responsibility for an alleged plot to have Vaughn killed in a fake hold-up. They alleged Pollister was to have carried out the plot and said Karydis was the "contact" man the man who introduced Cross to Pollister. Cross married Vaughn's daughter, Mabel, last August and they became estranged, police reported, in December. On the basis of evidence on which the warrants were issued, police claimed Cross blamed his father-in-law for the estrangement. Pollister, police allege, was hired by Cross for $400 to go to Florida, stage a fake holdup and kill Vaughn.

Authorities said Pollister took the money, bought an automo bile in which he drove to Florida and then told Vaughn of the alleged plot instead of carrying It out. "All I have to say," Cross remarked, "is that the statements are untrue. After they've fired all their guns, Marshall Cross will be found not guilty."
