DOWNWARD
REVISION
President Tail Stales His Views
to Republican Congressmen. -
At He Understood Platform State
ment Is Interpreted In Some Quar
ters at a Direct Notification to the
Conferees That If the Measure Does
Not Constitute a Material Reduction.
In Specific Duties the PresldenfWIII'
Veto the Tariff Bill.
The White House was stormed by 23
Vepublieun congressmen who Bpent an
four and a half with the president
tolling him that their very political
lives depended upon the protection of
raw materials.
The president replied that he was
not committed to the principle of free
raw material, but that ho was commit
ted to the principle of a downward re
vision of the tariff, which he had prom
ised, and that he was obliged to look
st the mutter, not from the standpoint
of any particular district, but from
the standpoint of the whole country,
ind also from the standpoint of re
sponsibility for the entire Republican
party.
Ho said the question In each case
was a question of fact, to be deter
mined by evldeiire, as to whether the
present duty was needed for protec
tion or whether the rate was exces
sive, so that a downward revision or
putting the article on the free list
would not Injure the Industry.
He repented the platform of the Re
publican party and said that he had
always understood that It meant a
downward revision in many Instances,
though perhaps in some few Instances
an Increase might he needed; that he
reached this construction of the plat
form on what he understood to be the
principle of protection and Its Justifi
cation, namely, that after an industry
was protected by a duty equal to the
difference between the cost of produc
tion nbrond and the cost of production
In this country. Including a fair profit
to the manufacturer, the energy and
enterprise of American business men
and capitalists, the effectiveness of
American labor and the Ingenuity of
Anietlcan Inventors, under the Im
pulse of competition behind the tariff
wall, would reduce the cost of produc
tion, and the tariff rate would become
unnecessarily high and ought to be
reduced.
This was the normal operation of
the tariff as claimed by the defenders
of the protective system not In every
case, but as a general rule. That of
course a revision of the tariff could
not be perfect, must have defects and
Inconsistencies; but Insofar as his in
fluence went, when called upon to act
In connection with legislation, It would
be thrown in the direction of perform
ing the promises of the party as ho un
derstood them; and that if Iron ore
and coal and hides did not need pro
tection, and the conditions were Ruch
as to enable the ore producers and the
oil prnducrs and the coal producers
and the producers of hides to compete
successfully, without, reduction of
wages, . with the producers from
abroad, then they did not need a duty
and their articles should go on the
free list.
If was a question of fact which he
hoped to make up his mind with re
Bpect to, on such evidence as was
available to him, in order to carry out
what he understood to be the prom
ises of the party to the whole people.
EXPERT SWIMMER DROWNED
Dwlght W. Dewey of Blnghamton Car
ried Out by the Undertow.
Dwlght W. Dewey, aged 45 years,
poRtofllce Inspector, New York, former
ly of Blnghamton, was drowned In1 Lake.
Ontario, near the outlet of Ontario bay,
at about 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
With a party of twenty men Mr. Dew
ey had spent the afternoon In con
structing a dock on the east side of the
sandbar separating the bay from the
bathing beach of the lake.
The party after completing the work
on the dock took a dip in the surf,
which was running high. Dewey In
company with another swimmer vent
ured out farther than the rest of the
party and continued swimming after
the others had returned to the shore.
Both were known to be exceptional
ly proficient swimmers and no sign of
distress was given until Dewey's com
panion swam in alone In an exhausted
condition and told the rest of the party
that both he and Dewey were carried
out by the undertow and Dewey was
unable to get back, although he could
;iieu be seen swimming far out. Sev
eral of the party immediately started
to his assistance, but the surf was run
ning dangerously high and little prog
ress was made.
SLOOP CAPSIZED
Ten Persons of an Excursion Party
Drowned, 13 Rescued.
Ten persons were drowned Sunday
afternoon, two of them little girls,
when the excursion sloop Roxana, car
rying 22 passengers, was capsized by a
sudden squall In lower New York bay,
midway between Coney Island Point
and Hoffman Island.
The captain and the twelve Burvl
vors were picked up under great diffi
culties in a rough and choppy sea by
the tug Lamona, which happened at
the time to be the only other vessel
within sight In waters usually crowd
ed with pleasure craft and motor boats.
AYIAIOR NEARLY KILLED
Hit Fiasco Followed Successful Flight
by Another Novice.
A frightened aviator, sitting like a
wooden man, went up Sunday at dawn
In Glenn H. Curtlss aeroplane, hover--sd
a moment In midair, then crashed to
earth. The beautiful craft In which
Curtlss made his remarkable flight
was badly wrecked and the would-bo
aviator wus lifted unconscious from
the twisted frame, his left arm broken,
his left thumb dislocated, his body
bruised and his brain reeling. His In
juries, however, are not serious, and
he is in the Nassau hospital at Mln
fola, L, I., while the battered aero
plane rests In its tent awaiting re
pairs. The accident occurred on Hemp
stead Plein, Mlneola, where Curtiss
had been giving demonstrations for the
New York Aeronautic society, to which
he recenly sold his aeroplane.
It was a member of the society. Al
exander Williams, 42 years old, that
was injured. While Williams has
driven many an automobile, is familiar
with gas engines and Is somewhat of
a machinist, he seemed to lose com
plete control of himself as the Curtlss
aeroplane soared heavenward, and
when it had attained a height of thirty
feet the craft, careened sharply to the
right, swooped toward the earth, and
striking on end, turned completely
over, then rolled on its back.
. Those who witnessed the fiasco say
Williams simply had stage fright. His
attempted flight followed a successful
one made by Edward Foster Wlllard of
New York city, also a member of the
Aeronautic society. Wlllard, who Is
28 years old and a gas engine expert,
remained In the air for 28 seconds,
making a short flight at an average
height of twenty feet. He descended
without mishap, although it was his
first experience In an aeroplane. He
alighted nearly a quarter of a mile
from the starting point.
Curtiss then took the machine and
made a beautiful flight back, cutting
several sharp turns and ascending at
one time for more than 100 feet, then
shooting swiftly downward until he
was only 30 feet above the earth. The
witnesses of this birdlike drop, among
them A. SI. Herring, himself an aero
planlst of note, say that it was ex
tremely spectacular. Back at the
starting point Williams took his seat
In the machine and shot away in the
early morning light.
THREATENED TO KILLHER
Mrs. Evelyn Thaw Gives Damaging
Testimony Against Her Husband.
Harry K. Thaw'B pretty little wife,
formerly the chorus girl Evelyn Nes
blt, went on the stand again at White
Plains, N. Y., and gave damaging testi
mony against him. It was the strong
est point scored so far by the state In
its fight to keep Thaw in the asylum
for the criminal insane at Slatteawan.
He demands his release tliuiugh hab
eas corpus proceedings on the ground
that he Is a sane man. When the
session was concluded, adjournment
was taken until July 26.
Deputy Attorney General Clark ask
ed her:
"Did Harry K. Thaw at any time say
this to yon, or this In substance, 'I
shall have to kill you when 1 get out
of here'?"
Sirs. Thaw appealed to the court
and begged Justice .Mills not to make
her answer the question.
Justice Stills quietly Instructed the
witness to answer and she said with a
long drawn sigh:
"Yes, he did."
"What were his exact words?" de
manded Sir. Clark.
"He said, 'When I get out of here I
suppose I will have to kill you'."
BRICK BUILDING COLLAPSED
Thirty-Two Persons Buried, Seven of
Whom Were Killed.
In one of the busiest sections of
Philadelphia and at a time when
thousands of people were passing the
place, the five story brick building
at the northeast corner of Eleventh
and .Market Btreets, which was being
reconstructed for the United Gas Im
provement company, collapsed, bury
ing or pinning beneath the ruins thirty
two persons, seven of whom are dead,
one missing, one fatally injured and
twenty-four more or less seriously in
jured. The dead are Charles Larsen and
Peter Fritz, carpenters, and Ave la
borers. The building fronted on Slarket
street. The two lower floors had been
.orn out and three upper floors Bhored
up by heavy timbers. It is supposed
that by moving one of the girders the
entire structure was loosened.
The crash came without warning
and narrow escapes were many. By
standers and passers-by fled but later
flocked to the ruins and made thrilling
rescues.
It was a sweltering hot day and sev
eral of the rescuers were overcome by
the heat and the dust from the debris.

SUTTON SHOTHIMuELF
According to Evidence of Lieu
tenant Robert E. Adams.
Attorney For Mrs. Sutton Says It Is
Not His Intention to Fasten Respon
sibility of Sutton's Death on Anyone,
but That Every Effort Would Be
Made to Refute the Suicide Theory.
Miss Stewart May Be Called.
Annapolis, Sid., July 20. The open
ing session here of the court of In
quiry which Is conducting a second In
vestigation Into the death of Lieuten
ant James Nuttle Sutton of the United
States marine corps was replete with
dramatic situations.
. Lieutenant Robert E. Adams, Sut
ton's former classmate at the academy
and one of the principal actors In the
midnight fight which cost young Sut
ton his life nearly two years ago. oc
cupied the witness stand during the
entire session, and told a graphic
story of the Incidents leading up to
Sutton's death.
With nervous demeanor, momentar
ily confused at times, and yet almost
defiant under the severe cross-examination
of Henry R. Davis, counsel for
Sirs. Sutton, the young officer sat fac
ing Sutton's mother and sister during
his exami'iatlon. His brother officers,
Lieutenants F)e an and Osterman, flank
ed by Adams' two lawyers, sat farther
down the Inquiry table. Slajor Henry
Leonard, IT. S. SI. C, the Judge advo
cate, and the three members of the
board completed the Impressive sit
ting. In their white service uniforms.
Struggle Enacted In Court Room.
At one K)lnt In his testimony Lieu
tenant Adams nnd an orderly enacted
the struggle with Sutton in the court
room. The witness chair was re
moved and they both lay prone upon
the floor. Sir. Davis succeeded in
bringing out a number of discrepancies
In Adams' testimony compared with
his version of the tragedy at the for
mer investigation, when the board of
Inquiry found that Sutton died by his
own hand.
A r'de to the marine camp In an
automobile with Sutton and two other
officers of marines. Lieutenants Utley
and Osterman, an altercation between
Sutton and the witness and a deferred
encounter when the senior officer Inter
fered, as the automobile was stopped
short of the camp with the Intention of
avoiding bt Ing caught returning after
hours; a Inter accidental meeting of
the witness and Sutton on the border
of the woods nepr the barracks and the
fight between the two men with Sut
ton armed with a revolver in either
hand and firing five shots, the last of
which he directed at his own head
while lying on the ground these were
the points In Lieutenant Adams' testi
mony. The witness said he had risen from
the prostrate Sutton, whom he be
lieved to he exhausted, and stood a
few feet back of him when he saw Sut
,on raise his right hand and fire a
bullet Into his own head. Just previ
ously some of the officers who had
come upon the scene had cried that
Lieutenant Edward P. Roelker had
ben shot and killed, the witness said.
Adams made no attempt to take the
revolver from Sutton's hands when he
broke away, or was pulled away from
him, he said. In reply to Lawyer Davis'
oft-repeated question. Sutton had
previously threatened to kill him. and
wos generally avoided by the marines
Demise of his wild talk and actions,
according to the witness.
Effort to Refute Suicide Theory.
After the session Sir. Davis said that
it was not his Intention to fasten the.
responsibility of Sutton's death on any
one, but that every effort would be
made to discredit and refute the sui
cide tPf'ory.
Roelker Is en Important witness
who has not yet been located. His
mother accepted service of a subpoena
for him in Washington, it w as said, but
his whereabouts is not known. He
left the service soon after the Sutton
tragedy. Sirs. Sutton's counsel said
that Sllss Margaret Stewart of Pitts
burs;, the young woman who was with
Sutton most of the evening before he
met his death, might be called as a
witness. Her testimony would be
material in reciting the theory of sul
cide, he said. Sllss Stewart Is now In
Cnnnda, hut Mr Davis said her father
had recently gone to see her and talk
over the advlsnblllty of her returning
and testifying.

SHEATH BATHING
SKIRT ALLOWED
Officials Permit Attention-Attracting
Costume.
Atlantic City, N. J.. July 20. The
sheath bathing skirt Is not Immodest
and will not be a subject of official
censure In Atlantic City this season.
This dictum emanates from Beach
Surgeon Heckwlth, who refused to In
terfere with two pretty girls who ap
peared on tho beach In bathing rigs
whose skirts were cut so "skimpy" as
to give the appearance of tights.
Beach Policeman Frey, whose atten
tion was called to the girls by their
following of staring men, was in a
quandary as to whether the outfit came
under the ban of beach regulations,
and he believed that the question was
settled when he heard the gasp from
spectators that followed when the
girls calmly unhooked the gashes
down the sides of the skirts to allow
them to sit down on the sand.
Frey rushed to the beach tent for
instructions, but the head of the beach
police force refused to adjudge the
sheath skirt Immodest, and the smil
ing young women continued their at-tentlon-attiuctlng
stroll without Inter
ference. Girl Accidentally Shoots Lover.
