“Sheep” Makes a Hit.

With the exception of’ a. few
months spent at Prof. George Pierce

Mr. Johnson never went to school.
He was born in lliinois, and at 14
left the printing shop where he was
working to c:me \Vest and live the
experiences he wanted to write
about. . .4
He operated several little week-
ly newnpapers in 13010me and fol-
lowed the mining excitement from
place to place. His knowledge of
mining became invaluable when he
began working on the Denver dailies.
He served as expert “boom—maker,"

DAVIS AND smrm
FAIL TO CONFER
0N mitt PLANS
NEW’ YORK, Aug. 2.-—An cxpcl‘t-
ed conference between John ‘W.
Davis, Democratic nominee for He-

at which it was thought the Duma-
cratic candidate would make a last
effort to persuade Gov. Smith to
make the race for Governor this fall,
did not materialize yesterday. al-

from Locust Valley at 10 o'clock and
Gov. Smith returned to the city- last

At the press conference yemcrday

two would meet next Thursday at

Around Tammany Hall and other

Olvauy down were loud. their

slty of the Governor mixing the

of leaders have adopted a. different

"But since I would not that any

"I Insure you, Sir Oliver. that

SUGAR TARIFF
UP TO COOLIDGE
WASHINGTON, Aug. —— The
question of revising the sugar tariff
schedules has been put up to Presi-
dent Coolidge after more than a year
and a half of investigation and dis-
pute by the Tariff Commission.
The commission's findings, com-
pletion of which Senator La. Foilctte
independent candidate for President,
recently charged was being opposed
by representatives of the “sugar
interests," were submitted Thursday:
to the President. who alone is em-
powered under the law to proclaim
revision of the rates, up or down,
to the extent of 50 per cent.
The results of the inquiry. which
has embraced sugar production con~
ditions in Cuba. and elsewhere. were.
not announced, although it had been
indicated that majority and minor-
ity reports were contemplated by the
commissioners. who had been split
between contentions that the duties
should be a. pound on Cuban and
n
..
2.20 cents on other sugar imports.
The investigation was started at
the direction of President Harding
in March, 1923. and has been mark-
ed by u long and bitter struggle
within the commissions and between
interests having opposing views on
the rates. During the struggle the
right of Commissioner Classic, 3.
Democratic member, to sit in til!
case was challenged because of his
wife's interest in sugar mills in
Louisiana. This was not settled un-
til Congress prohibited payment (if
salaries to commissioners participat-
ing in discussions affecting commo-
ditie in which they were directly in-
teresied.
Mr. Glassic‘s retirement from the
case, on the basis of previous dis-
closuress. apparently left Vice-
Chairman Culbert-Lewis in the ma.-
Jority favoring reductions in the
schedule, and Chairman Marvin and
Commissioner Burges in the minor-
ity, contending for retention of the
present duties.
Aviators dislike to fly above the
clouds. probably because of the dan-
ger of colliding with the head. (I
