JONES PROPOSES RESTI
By 1). Harold Oliver, A.P. Staff
Writer.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 13.-
Continuing its slashing of tariff in-
creases and eimination of proposed
duties on prelis ted commodities as
carried in the House bill, the Sen-
ate today voted 49 to 29 to keep
shingles on the free list and 51 to
24 to restore existing .levics on
watches.
Without record vote, it also
eliminated duties on clocks, placed
on the free list logs of fir, spruce,
cedar, and Western hemlock, now
nonduitable at $1 per thousand feet
board measure, and approved re-
tention in the non-dutiable column
of cedar lumber which the House
made more duitable at 25 cents ad
valoram along with shingles. The
vote on shingles disposed of one of
the major controversies in the tar-
iff question. The measure still must
go through another stage of revi-
sion in conference between the
Senate and House.
Senator Jones, Republican, and
Dill, Democrat, both of Washington
who led the drive for retention of
the House duty on shingles, mus-
tered 10 Republicans and 10 Demo-
crats on the final roll call, but only
after they hod proposed the deci-
sion be marde between free shingles
and a 10 per cent rate.
The finance comnittee majority
had proposed retention of shingles
in free category, but when the 10
per cent duty was suggested four
of their number, including Chair-
man Smoot and Senators Edge,
Reed and Shortridge, voted with the'
Washington Senators.

American Drama" at 8 o'clock to-
night in Hill auditorium as the sec-
ond speaker on the new Oratorical
association program, is considered
to be the finest orator in' America
today and has often been called a
torch in the minds of his audience.
His lecture tonight will deal with
the progress that is being made in
the theatre world, the trend of the
little theatre and of the repetory
group, and what is likely to be left
the legitimate theatre after the mo-
tion pictures have monopolized the
empire of pure entertainment. He
will also show why he believes that
the theatre is upholding the Shak-
espearean maxim of "holding the
mirror up to life" in spite of a pop-
ular belief that the theatre world
has fallen upon degenerate days.
Has Had Much Experience.
As a dramatist, philosopher and
orator Mr. Anspacher is well dual-
ified to discuss these phases of en-
tertainment. Born in America and
educated in public schools, he was
graduated at the College of te City
'of New York, after which lie spe-
cialized in philosophy ad ethics
at Columbia University Graduate
school where he received a Master's
degree.
From 1902 to 1905 he was secular
lecturer in Temple Emauel, New
York.Since 1906 he has been on
the permanent taff of the League
of -Political EdtiEA61 *2MT for
many years has been on the staff
of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts
and Sciences. He has addressed
most of the great lecture institu-
tions in America, and ,has spoken
many times in New York unaer xe
auspices of the Civic Forum.
Is Dramatic Writer.
His dramatic record is inore fa-
miliar to the American public. He
was for some years an actor and is
now the husband of the celebrated
actress, Katherine Kidder. In 1904
his poetical drama, "Tristan and
Isolde," was published, and was fol-
lowed by a series of sucesses which
led up to his greatest iece of
work, "The Unchastened Woman,"
which was first produce( in 1915
Many other works followed, his last
being "Dagniar," produced in 1923.

Democratic - Republican indepen-
dent coalitin in control of the
tariff measure in the Senate, it w
announced by Senator Jones of
Washington, the acting Republican
leader. that he was ready to offer
the adjournment resolution prob-
ably tomorrow.
Senator Jones' announcement,
made after consultation with mem-
bers of both parties during the day,
was followed by announcement by
Democratic leaders, including Sen-
ator Walsh, of Montana, and Har-
