TARIFF'S AUTHOR. EX HEAD, A SOCIAL RECLUSE Hawley, Over 20 Years in House, Still Holds to View of Last Century. Engle Barena, Colorado Bailding. By HENRY SUYDAM. Washington, May 18-One of the gentleme whose names are to be immortalized in the prospective tariff legislation is the Hon.

William McKinley, Sereno Payne, Joseph Fordneysuch were a few of the incumbents of the place which Mr. Hawley has reached through the slow process of time 22 years in the House of Rep- resentatives.

Proof He Knew Banker's Trouble Long Before City Trust Crash Seen in Plan to Turn Over the Kensington to Him. Former Superintendent of Banks Frank H. Warder had in mind to deliver the old Kensington Bank 10 the late Francesco M. Ferrari, president of the wrecked City Trust Company, when defalcations totaling $319,000 by some of the Kensington officers were discovered in October, 1927, The Eagle learned today. The plan failed and the Kensington finally went to the Municipal Bank when Warder reconsidered and remarked to the Kensington directors that Ferrari already had two lemons on his hands.

Indicates Knowledge in 1927. The two "lemons" Warder referred to were Atlantic State Bank in Brooklyn and the Harlem Bank of Commerce which he subsequently merged to form the City Trust Company: The significance of Warder's remark is that it indicates that he knew in Oetober, 1927, that there was something radically wrong with the Ferrari banks. In spite of this knowledge, Warder had permitted Ferrari to become president of both the Atlantic State Bank and the Harlem Bank of Commerce. At the bankruptcy hearings in the case of Michael Longo last week Warder testified that never before or since has the Banking Department permitted one man to be president of two banks. The scheme to hand over the Kensington to Ferrari occurred to Warder in the midst of the hectic and momentous 18-hour, all-night session of Kensington directors which began in Warder's office on Sunday afternoon, Oct.

16, 1927, and continued until 6 a.m. Monday, Oct. 17. At this meeting the Kensington directors were required to pledge themselves to make good $250.000 of the loss and were ferced to sell away their interest in the bank. Took "Iron-Fist" Stand.

"Louis Ferdinand," as he is listed on the plant's payroll, admitted his identity to newspapermen as he sat on the curb in front of the factory at noon with several other workmen eating his lunch from a paper sack. The Prince said he liked his job.

Mr. Fuller was the son of the late Jesse Fuller, long a prominent figure in Republican affairs in Brooklyn and one time chairman of the Republican County Committee Like his father he early allied himself with the Republican party, He soon evinced an inclination, however, to identify himself with the various reform movements within the party and one of his early combats was that of the primary fight against the continuance of the Republican leadership of Robert Sharkey in the 5th A.

Captain Shows Strain. Cuers, France, May 18 (P)- French bluejackets stood guard today about the German dirigible, Graf Zeppelin, housed in the hangar from which their own ill-fated Dixmude went forth five years ago to disaster. Inside the hangar French mechanics assisted the Graf's crew to repair the damage which had incapacitated four of the dirigible's five motors.

The entire atmosphere was one of friendliness and good fellowship. with a dash of bitter disappointment among the Germans that they had failed to take their ship another time across the Atlantic. There WAS no trace of animosity surviving from the World War. French Admiral Calls. The first man to call on Dr.

Hugo Eckener, the dirigible's master, after he arose late this morning. was Rear Admiral Bintry, commanding the French naval base at Toulon. "I have a duty of gratitude to fulfill." the German commander told the French Rear Admiral. "I wish express my sincerest thanks to the French Navy for the efficacious assistance rendered us in our landing." In the short conversation which followed Dr. Eckener insisted especially on the word "efficacious," repeating it three or four times.

Eckener Shows Strain. He not the hale and hearty man been pictured in France, was. On the contrary, he appeared pale and drawn, with his eyes bloodshot. He who generally had been so calm had A nervous twist to his mouth and the left side of his face, plain evidence of the terrific strain to which he had been subjected during the battle with the elements over southern France yesterday. He turned to newspaper men: "Won't you please tell your readers that the reception and welcome afforded me, my crew and my passengers has gone directly to my heart?" It was no secret here that the German commander did everything possible to avert a forced landing in France.
