ed by President Taft
Tomorrow.
Washington, Aug. 5. "The report of
the conference committee on Uio tariff
,-blll will bo adopted by the senate by
n safe majority before tonight," said
Senator Aldrich today.
The finance committee chairman
seemed serene nnd happy over his as
sured triumph. lie told his friends
that the chief opponents of the tariff
compromise had been placated and
that the radical Insurgents were pow
erloss to prevent the adoption of the
report
Republican leaders confidently ex
pect that the tariff bill will be finally
passed by both house and senate and
signed by President Taft tomorrow.
The senate chamber was the center
of Interest, nearly every member being
present and the galleries being crowd
ed with visitors who wanted to be
present during the voting on such an
historic occasion.
The concurrent resolution making
corrections in the leather schedule of
the tariff bill was reported to the sen
ate from the finance committee by
Senator Aldrich. This resolution
changes paragraph 450 to read as fol
lows: Hides of cattle, raw or uncured, wheth
er dry salted or pickled, shall be admit
ted freo of duty, provided Hint on and
after Oct. 1, 1!K, grain, buff and enllt
leather shall pay a duty of Vfc per cent
ad valorem; that all boots and shoos
mado wholly or In chief value of leather
made from cattle hides and cattle skins
of whatnver w)',Klit, of cattle of tho bo
vine species, 'ncludlng calfskins, shall
pay a auty oi 10 per cent ad valorem:
that harness, saddles and saddlery. In
sets or In parts, finished or unfinished,
composed wholly or in chief value of
leather, shall pay a duty of a per cent
ad valorem.
This resolution will bo acted upon
after the conference report has been
disposed of.
From tho same committee Senator
MeCumbor reported another concur
rent resolution providing that the
drawback provision of the tariff bill
should not apply to oilcake manufac
tured from Imported flaxseed and
also regulating the control of bonded
warehouses.
Conferences among senators wore
numerous. Several times Vice Presi
dent Sherman found it necessary to
call the body to order and to Insist
that conversation bo discontinued.
The effect of the maximum nnd
minimum provision of the measure as
agreed upon by the conferees was the
chief subject of discussion.
Senator lieveridge, (piloting the re
marks of Chairman Aldrich, under
took to show that that senator inter
preted tho language as reported by
the conferees as practically guaran
teeing all the results that could be ob
tained through the instrumentality of
a tariff commission.
Ho provoked a prompt opposition to
that view by Senator Hale, who at
great length argued that exactly the
opposite purpose was In the minds of
the house conferees whoso views had
been adopted. He insisted that they
carefully avoided giving nny authority
to the president by which he could
gather information on which another
revision of tho tariff could be based.
Senator Beveridgo repudiated the to
bacco tax amendments In tho new
tariff bill known as the Bevorldge
amendments.
Not only have the rates proposed by
Senator Beveridgo been reduced, but
the iniquity of which ho chiefly com
plainsnamely, the fractional pack
ages established at the time of the
Spanish war, under which tho tobacco
manufacturers have since taken from
the consumer the added profit of tho
now abolished war tax, has not only
not been removed, but the number of
fractional packages which may bo used
has been increased from four to four
teen. Senator Beveridgo also repudiated
tho legalization of tobacco couiHins.
the abolition of which was ono of hla
amendments.

B. Craig turned n deaf ear to the
tearful pleadings of Mrs. Mary Scott
Cantlo when that handsomo actress
was arraigned for attempting his life
In tho Waldorf-Astoria by shooting at
his heart with' a revolver.
Mr. Craig sneered and turned on his
heel when Mrs. Castle bogged him to
listen to her pleadings. He charged
her with assault and declared his In
tention of prosecuting the charge re
lentlessly, whereupon the young wom
an was held in $3,000 ball.
When the seriousness of her plight
dawned on Mrs. Castle she swooned
and afterward became violently hys

his wife that ho loved mo better than
he did her.
"I did not go to the Waldorf to seek
Mr. Craig. I Just met him. didn't

was being guided by some other force
some outside influence. I felt wild
and dizzy. I said to Mr. Craig:
"'Will, stop and speak to mel Do
not pass me by. Do not pass me by!'
I repeated, 'for I am going to finish
myself now.'
"Ho gave mo a shove then and said:
'For God's sake, go and do it!' I
whipped out my revolver then, Intend
ing to kill myself. Ho caught my
wrist and tho weapon went off. I had
no Intention of shooting Mr. Craig."
FOR A LIBERAL SUNDAY.
Connecticut Legislature Votes to Wipe
Out All "Blue Laws."
Hartford, Conn., Aug. 5. Tho house
has passed in concurrence with tho
senate a bill liberalizing tho Sunday.
By It the so called "blue laws" relat
ing to tho Sunday and which forbid
almost every form of recreation and
all secular activity will be wiped out
if Governor Weeks signs the bill.
One of tho laws specifically repealed
provides si lino of on each person
who shall attend a concert or enter
tainment on the Lord's day.
Tho new Sunday bill prohibits all
sports and secular activities except
such as are demanded by necessity
and mercy and such as are for "the
general welfare of tho community."
Under the words "general welfare of
the community" Sunday baseball is
probably permitted, and the advocates
of the bill admit that the courts must
Interpret the words.
The opponents of the bill claim that
theaters and all forms of amusement
can be held on Sunday.
GUILLOTINED IN PARIS.
Immense Crowd Sees First Public Exe
cution In Fifteen Years.
Paris, Aug. .".A sudden olllcial an
nouncement that a public beheading
would take place at 4:110 o'clock this
munilng In the Boulevard fronting the
Santo prison created a sensation in
Paris, which had not seen an execu
tion In fifteen years.
Immediately immense crowds gath
ered at tho scene, but were kept back
from the guillotine by heavy details
of police and municipal guards.
The victim was Jean Duchemlu,
ageil twenty-three, a butcher. In 1008
ho stabbed his mother, and this not
resulting in her death quick enough
he finished her by strangulation. Tho
motive for the crime was robbery.
As tho trembling wretch stepped out
of the wagon it was seen that accord
lag to the law dealing with matricides
and parricides, he was barefooted, and
ids head was covered with a trans
parent black veiling, whilo a capo of
crude material but half concealed his
naked chest.
Before tho onlookers had time to ex
press their wonderment at tills strange
garb, which gave ono the Impression
that it was a woman and not a man,
the flowing veiling fell from tho head,
tho capo from tho shoulders and the
victim was seized nnd thrown under
the knife. In a flash all was over.

THAW'S TURN NOW ;
i i
His Counsel Trying to Prove !
"Delusions" Realities.
WHITE'S PRACTICES AN ISSUE
He Expects to Show That the
Architect Maintained Several
Establishments Where
Girls Were Lured,
White Plains, N. Y., Aug. 5. The
state has rested in the Thaw case, and
from now on it develops upon Hurry
K. Thaw and his attorney, Charles
Morschauser, to offset the testimony I
of tho state's alienists, who have sworn
without exception under tho cross ex
amination of District Attorney Jerome
that Thaw is still insane and would
be a raenaee to tho community if re
leased from the asylum at Mattcawan.
The last alienist called by Mr. Je
rome was Dr. Carlos P. MacDonald,
formerly connected with the state in
sane asylums at Auburn and Mattea
wan and president of tho New York
stiite commission in lunacy.
Dr. MacDonald doclared that Thaw
now suffered from "paranoia of tho
degenerate type." By "degenerate,"
lie explained, was meant a person that
has never attained tho normal type.
Ho pronounced Thaw Incurable.
Dr. MacDonald was followed by John
B. Gleason, Thaw's original legal ad
viser after tho shooting of Stanford
White. He came to Thaw's nld and
cleared up a few old Hysterics, sweep
ing away some of Thaw's apparent
vagaries upon which Mr. Jerome has
dwelt so persistently. ,
Mr, Gleason's most advantageous
statement, from tV .prisoner's stand-1
point, concerned the' dropping of the I
law firm of Black, Grnber, Olcott & '
Bonynge, and of L. I,. Delalleld and 1
the engagement of Dolphin M. Delmas
as chief counsel for Thaw. This was i
done at his (Gleason's) orders, he said,
and was not due to a whim of Thaw's.
Through Mr. Gleason Thaw's lawyer
hopes to show that Thaw's altitude
toward Stanford White was not due
to delusions, as the stale contends, but
was prompted by what Thaw knew of
White's practices. Mr. Gleason pro
duced about fifty letters which lie re
ceived from Thaw. Mr. Morschauser
Iried to prove the charges against
White by reading parts of Kvelyn
Thaw's testimony at the trials. Thaw's
letters to Mr. Gleason bear upon tills.
Trying to clear Thaw of another
'delusion" Mr. Gleason presented a re
port of detoe ves regarding an alleged
attempt on ..'haw's life on tho night
of Dec. '24, l!10:i. The document was
Introduced to counteract the state's
contentions that Thaw hud delusions
concerning the "Monk" Eastman gang,
which lie believed had been engaged
by his enemies to beat and perhaps
kill him. and that after White's death
the architect's friends entered into a
conspiracy to "railroad his slayer to
Miitteawau."
If ho can show that Stanford Whito
and a number of wealthy friends did
maintain several establishments where i
young girls were rained nnd that an
attempt really was made on his client's
life, Mr. Morschauser will be able to
dissipate some of the "delusion" evi
dence of the state. He intimates that
he lias somo surprises in store for the
remaining days of tho hearing, includ
ing ten lay witnesses, who may testify
as to what Thaw knew of White. Tho
present plan is to have the attorneys
sum up on Saturday and if possible
finish tho case this week.

HE MAY CLAIM PRIVILEGE.
Dead Man's Mother Determined to
Remove Stigma of Suicide From
Marine Corps lieuten
ant's Name.
Annapolis, Md Aug. 5. Lieutenant
Harold II. Utley uud Surgeon Frank
U. Cook were tho witnesses called to
day when tlie naval board of inquiry
resumed Its investigation into the
death of James N. Sutton, a lieutenant
of the marine corps, who dlod under
peculiar circumstances on tho parade
ground hero some eighteen months ago
following a light between several of
tho olllcers.
Charles W. Kennedy, i private in
the marine corps, ut a previous hear
ing said ho had seen Utley, Adams and
Sutton engaged in a light tho night
Sutton met his death and that both
Utley and Adams had admonished him
tho next day to keep his mouth shut.
Utley is expected to clear up this
story.
Kennedy also snld he had seen Ut
ley on the morning following the shoot
ing go to the edge of tho parade
ground and pick up a 3S caliber Colt
service revolver, which Utley carried
into the barracks with him. The Inci
dent had been observed by other pri
vates In tho company, he added.
When the Inquiry was abruptly ad
journed a week ago because of the ab
sence of Lieutenant Utley nnd Dr.
Cook tho alignment of tho entire pro
ceedings was chnnged, and Lieutenant
Utley and the other officers of the ma
rine corps who have already testified
were made parties defendant instead
of merely Interested parties at the re
quest of Major Henry Ix?onard, the
judge advocate.
Though Lieutenant Utley Is consid
ered a most Important witness in
clearing up many of the incidents sur
rounding Lieutenant Sutton's encoun
ter witli his brother olllcers on the
night of Oct. 12-1H, 1007, when he met
his death, it may happen that In the
new role of defendant he will claim
the usual privilege of refusing to an
svtor questions tending to incriminate
him as a witness and tell very little.
Mrs. James N. Sutton of Portland,
Ore.; her daughter, Mrs. Rose Sutton
Parker, of St. Paul. Minn., aud Henry
E. Davis of Washington, their coun
sel, are determined, they say, to light
to the bitter end to remove the stigma
of suicide from tho name of Lieuten
ant Sutton, Mrs. Sutton's son.
In tho capacity of complainant and
accuser Mrs. Sutton and her daughter
aro expected to testify unreservedly.
As a result of their personal Investi
gating following Lieutenant Sutton's
death they both contend ho Avas at
tacked and shot by some one of ills
brother olllcers. Mrs. Parker sahl she
would spare no one's feelings in re
lating on the witness stand the facts
as she had found them.

PeopN ti? n For Self Protection In
General Strike.
Stoc l, Aug. 5. The labor con
flict i iden shows signs of becom
ing n J .cute, and the ranks of the
strike g o considerably swelled, al
tlwus' . general strike lias not yet
becoi " tlrely effective.
Ma o rganlzatlons, although sym
path with the strikers, hesitate to
join actively. The employees of
the sheer car lines and the cab drivers
have stopped work, and neither cabs
nor street cars nre available.
The troops are protecting the gas
works aud the electric lighting plant,
nnd this step has incensed the work
men, whose leaders threaten to call
out nil the men unless the soldiers are
withdrawn.
Tho gruvediggers employed in the
Northern cemetery have struck. Those
in the Southern cemetery aro still
working, but are expected to join tho
strike movement.
A corps of workmen some thousand
strong is being organized with the ob
ject of maintaining order, and the peo
ple generally, bankers, merchants, etc.,
are arming themselves for self protec
tion. The gun shops of the city are
practically denuded of revolvers and
small arms. All the tourists have left
Stockholm, and the number of visitors
now in the city Is smaller than for
many years past.
The government Is taking precaution
to guard the railroad tracks with
troops, fearing attempts to blow up
bridges or Injure the perrannent way.
Quantities of dynamite are reported to
have mysteriously disappeared recent
ly from the government stores.
Guards are posted In the market
places and the railroad stations. All
milk supplies have been cut off, and
thousands of babies are suffering from
lack of nourishment nnd the change
from cows' milk to canned milk.
All the ferries have stopped running,
and there is little communication be
tween Stockholm nnd tho suburbs
reached by water routes. This fact
will result in a further diminution of
food supplies.
