"By Associated Press, WASHINGTON, Nov. relief through tariff revision, so long advocated by legisaltors from agricultural states, advanced an appreciable step to-day as the senate approved nine more duty increases on table foods.

Action on finance committee amendments to the important agricultural schedule was completed before the senators voted an early week-end recess. On Monday the controversial sugar rates will be the order of business. Although some senators are understood to favor a postponement of action on these duties, Chairman Smoot of the finance committee announced he would bring them up anyway. Leaders of all factions joined in endorsing the sweeping increases in tariffs. proposed by the committee republicans.

80 overwhelming WaS the sentiment for carrying out the farm group's contentions that not a single roll call was taken on the approximately 75 farm duty increases placed in the measure this week. Besides completing upward revision of the agricultural schedule, the senate approved to-day the only two proposed changes of the finance committee in the section embracing spirits, wines and other beverages. This brought to :16 the number of schedules in which committee amendments have been acted upon. Even though nine more rate schedules are pending and individual amendments remain to be offered to all 15, some senators were of the opinion the bill could be passed at this session provided night sessions are continued. Acceding to a request of Senator Walsh of Montana, acting democratic leader, that it dispense with to-night's three hour session, In view of the "killing pace" being set for the older legislators, the senate voted 68 to seven for such a after the Montanan failed to obtain unanimous consent.

Walsh won after assurances were given the "young guard," or new republican regulars who bolted their party leadership earlier in the week in helping to turn down a democratic adjournment resolution, that the week-end recess would not mean abandonment of night sessions in the future. Amendments approved to-day would Increase existing rates on peppers, eggplant and cucumbers from 25 per cent ad valorem to three cents pound, and on squash from 25 per cent to two cents a pound. Committee proposals for a seasonial egg plant and cucumbers, under which a half-cent rate would be applicable in winter months, were turned down.

-President Hoover's preliminary conference of representatives of business and government to promote business progress will convene Thursday at the white house. In calling the conference to order the president will furnish the baste outline. The members will consider what definite steps can be taken for the constructive release of reservoirs of capital, and absorbing any slackening of activity in the so-called luxury lines which generally, are the first to feel the pinch in such conditions as have arisen recently, Mr. Hoover is carrying forward consultations, mostly by telephone, with leaders of the various business groups of the country who will be expected to name their own representatives at the conference. Consequently 'he is not in position at this time to say precisely who will represent these groups.

Representation of states and municipalities in the actual conferences is scarcely feasible, but these units of government will be consulted during the discussions. The early execution of vast volumes of public works which they have held in abeyance forms one of the principal areas in, which now idle capital can be employed. Lamont Will Report. The situation in this field will be presented by Secretary Lamont, who has been having made a comprehensive survey of the field -of pending public, works in states, cities and counties, while this survey still is far from complete, sufficient information has been obtained to show that works in the aggregate of $350,000,000 have been held in abeyance. There have been several causes for this lagging, but the primary one has been the inability of these divisions of government to obtain attractive prices for the securities because of the higher Interest rates which have been offered in the markets for stocks.

Railways, public utilities, buildings and merchant marine also furnish substantial reserve for added employment of capital, as work in these spheres also has been lagging for considerable length of time. These fields will be carefully canvassed by the conference. Farm Board to Ald. In the field of agriculture representation in the conference will be largely governmental, with the federal farm board and the department of agriculture prepared to supply information and make constructive suggestions for the use of the new powers to assist agriculture. The survey which the conference will make is a complicated one and the task involves a great mass on Column Seven.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. "marked fatigue" in the condition of James W. Clood, secretary of war, was reported early to-night by physicians at his bedside as he resisted the infection that gripped him after an emergency operation for appendicitis last Wednesday The 84-hour period which physiclans had set as being the peak of the crisis in his condition passed at 11 o'clock to-night without any announcement being made. Physicians decided not to issue any more bulletins until there was material change in his condition.

The fatigue was regarded by the physicians as an unhopeful sign even though they said septic symptoms had not progressed. Earlier in the night a slight ime provement had been noted in the secretary's condition when it was reported that his pulse, respiration, temperature and blood count were better. His physicians also had administered nourishment which was retained. This also regarded as favorable. The slight improvement, physiclans said, might be only temporary and his close friends retained only small hope that he could survive much longer.

Physicians, however, said all hope was not lost and that his condition now depended upon his own resistance to the general blood poisoning that attacked him after the operation. President Hoover kept in close touch with the hospital and information as to the secretary's condition was relayed him frequently from the bedside. Dr. John M. Finney, the Johns Hopkins specialist, was called for series of consultations Friday night and early this morning.

He returned to Baltimore to-day with statement that everything that could be done had been done. Mrs. Good continued to watch at her husband's bedside. The secretary was sleeping a larger portion of the day and saw no one. James W.

SENATE INQUIRY LOOMS FOR KENT Banker Who Blamed Wrangle for Mart Crash May Face Caraway. By Associated Press, WASHINGTON, Nov. investigation into a statement attributed to Fred I. Kent, of the Bankers' Trust company of New York, that the action of the senate coalltion in rewriting the tariff bill was partially responsible for the recent collapse of stock market prices, was promised to-day by Chairman Caraway of the senate lobby committee. Summoning of Kent before the committee was requested by Senator Hawes, democrat, Missouri, who told the senate that Kent's assertion in recent speech was "propaganda because no sensible man for a minute would assume the truth of the statement." Caraway said he thought that "before we go into Investigating Kent we ought to at least wait until we reach the joke column because anybody who would put forth such statement like that and expect anybody to believe it, of course, is suffering from arrested: mental I think there is a demand for 1t." he said.

"We can let him waste an hour spinning a tale that nobody will believe, including himself." The remark by Kent already has drawn the fire of Senator Borah, of Idaho, a leader of the republican independents, who asserted in a statement that if the action of the senate coalition injured the stock market, something must be wrong with the market.

Shattuck told the committee Carroll recommended that the facts about Cuba be obtained and transmitted to the American government but he did not know whether this had been done. The committee also planned to go ahead Tuesday with questioning representatives: of sugar companies in connection with their activities during the pending tariff legislation.

BY JOHN W. STAHR, Tribune Sports Editor. SOLDIER FIELD, CHICAGO, NOV. So long as there are such things AS points after touchdown, Notre Dame will have what is known in sporting parlance as the Indian sign on Southern California's football teams. For the third time in four years, Knute Rockne's rampant ramblers today downed the Trojans by just that sort of a margin, 13 to 12.

It was the headline game of the 1929 season from the standpoint of national title aspirations, and 123,000 wildly cheering fans thrilled to a battle that found both of the contestants going into the air for brilliant advances and contained almost everything that any football game ever has to offer for the spectators' enjoyment. They may call it "the luck of the Irish" 11 they will. but Notre Dame had enough more than Irish luck to satisfy an overwhelming portion of to-day's. vast throng that it has the superior team, a team that now is in a fair way to write another defeatless season into Notre Dame history and make an undeniable claim for national championship, recognition. Trojans Get Eariy Lead.

LIt was a see-saw struggle, with Howard Jones' sunkist Trojans taking the lead early on a 48-yard forward pass play, only to have Notre Dame draw even a few minutes later' on a similar play, a pass which was good for 54 yards and a touchdown. The score remained deadlocked at 6-6 to the end of the first half, then Notre Dame rushed over another touchdown midway of the third quarter, kicking goal this time for a 13-6 lead, only to have Russ Saunders, Trojan quarterback, carry the very next kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown that meant potential tie score. But again the Trojan extrapoint kick failed, and in spite of the flurry of rapid-fire scoring, the game wore on to its close without any more serious bids to change those fateful figures. Had the superiority of the Notre Dame team been any less clear cut than it was, there might be some lack of satisfaction among the tens of thousands of Irish boosters who SO wildly and loyally cheered the Rockets on to victory, especially because it was the third time in four starts that one point has been enough to beat Southern Cal. But the Irish margin was, indeed, clear cut.

Figures on the game show Notre Dame making 12 first downs to mix for the west coasters; and a total of 140 yards from scrimmage by rushing and 146 via air compared to 76 by land and 53 by air for the Trojans, while throughout Notre Dame showed more consistency in attack, more tenacity on defense, and made more threatening advances into enemy territory than did their rivals from Los While county officials expressed the belief that the sheriff was justifled in killing the woman, County Attorney William J. Scott said he would await the outcome of a coroner's inquest at which Dederick appeared to describe the slaying. Sheriff Dederick had halted. the woman's car as it. was driven into the yard of a house on the outskirts of Herington, suspected of harboring a gang of liquor The officer stepped on the running board just as Mack Howard Harris, age 41, also of Kansas City, the woman's driver, speeded up the machine.

Down Herington's main street sped the automobile. Mrs. Horton, 80- cording to the officer, drew a revolver and ordered him to jump from the car. Told to Jump. Behind the liquor runner's machine another, automobile, carrying additional officers, gave chase.

As the center of: town was reached the sheriff said Mrs. Horton exclaimed, "here's where I let you have it unless you jump." Sheriff Dederick drew his own revolver and shot the woman through the heart. He said he had been more afraid to jump than to 1 remain. As she slumped in the seat Harris obeyed the officer's order to stop the machine and surrendered. Harris denied ownership of two five-gallon jugs of alcohol and 25 one-gallon jugs whiskey, found in the car.

The liquor and automobile belonged to Mrs. Horton, he asserted. He said he had been paid $50 for making the drive. Had Been Drinking. Mrs.

Horton, he told officers, had been drinking and appeared crazed. It the officer had. not shot he said he believed the woman would have pulled the trigger of her weapon. The woman's husband is serving prison term at Cottonwood Falls, for a liquor law violation. Harris and his wife have been living in Kansas City with Mrs.

Horton. A raid on the residence last spring resulted in the filing of state charges against Horton. He is a former Jackson county, Missouri, deputy sheriff and recently was freed in federal court of a charge of selling protection to bootleggers. RAIDING PARTY IN GARY ARRESTS 50 By Associated Press.

C. athletes, their coach, and the 1,000 loyal rooters who came from the coast in special train. The Trojans have met Notre Dame four times in four ser-. sons. In three of the games they have made a total of five touchdowns and failed to add point after any one of them and in each case one extra point.

would have gained them a tie score. Last year, when the Jonesmen had a two-touchdown edge on a below-par Notre Dame team they were able to make good on three out of four extra-point plays! With all credit, as above stated, due to Notre Dame, it does seem rather pitifully ironical from the Trojan standpoint. The game was a battle of two lines of tremendous power and well-nigh faultless technique, and while Notre Dame's lighter forward wall had an edge on the westerners, it was so nearly a standoff that the Notre Dame aerial offensive was brought into play in its full range and deadliness for the first time this season. A beautiful long pass from Elder to Conley gained the first touchdown, while a series of tosses had been responsible for a march to the Trojan six-yard line 8 short time before, which failed only because of a tumble by Brill that the Trojans covered on their one-yard stripe. Later on the Irish attacked effectively through the air at intervals, though none of the completed heaves were destined to lead directly to scor- have qualified or explained the evidence against Mayor Hale and the others, did not allow them to go before the grand jury.

Mr. Loomis, who filled a demurrer to the plea, argued that the government was not required to send every witness before grand Jury but rather had only to present enough evidence to' warrant an indictment. Attorney Tinkham admitted there had been sufficient evidence for the indictment but contended that if the grand jury had heard all the witnesses much of the evidence would have been explained or otherwise discounted.

Judge Bash said he would decide the case Monday, hoping that during the delay Mr. Marlowe might appear, Curtis and Omer S. Whitman, Nunamaker's attorney, spent several days in Evansville, but were unable to find trace of Marlowe or any record of Goodman or of a suicide. Marriage records do not show a marriage license granted at Dayton and no record of Goodman's supposed burial at Decatur, could be found.

Miss Christie told the court that Goodman had factories at Evansville, Denver, Colo, and Thomasville, Ga.

The three Irish stalwarts were in every I play, Cannon especially, being found.
