"lift repeated the r Inform of the Re
publican party and said that he had un
derstood it meant a downward revision
in many instances, though perhaps in
some fw cas an lncrvase might be
t!f-eud; that he reached this construc
tion of tiie platform on what he under
stood to e the principle of protection
and Its justification, namely, that aftr
an industry wiw protected by a duty
equal to the. difference between the cot
of production abroad and the cost of
production in this country. Including a
fair proht to the manufacturer, the
ervergy and enterprise of American busi
neM men and capitalists, the effective
ness of American labor and the ingenuity
of American inventors under the impulse
of competition behind the tariff wall
would reduce the cost of production and
that with reduction tn the cost of pro-duct-i
the tariff rate would become un-nH-ariIy
high and oujcht to be reduced.

tariff as claimed by the defenders of the
protective system not in every rase but
as a general rule that of course a re
vision of tha tariff could not be perfect

Will Keep Party Promises.
But Insofar as his influence werfc.
when called upon to act in connection
with letislatioiv it would be thrown in
the direction of performing the promises
o the party as he understood them; and
that if iron ore and oil and coal and
hides did rot need protection and the
conditions were such as to enable the
home producers of hides to compete suc
cessfully, without reduction of wages,
with the producers from abroad, then
they did not need a duty and their
article! should go on the free list.
It was a question of fact with respect
to which he hoped to make up hie mind
on such evidence as was available to him
!n order to carry out what he understood
to be the promises of the party to the
whole people. He said he fejt that his
position as the titular head of the Re
publican party and an President gave
him a somewhat broader point of view
than that of any member of Congress
in respect to articles produced In his
single district. He felt strongly the call
for a downward revision within the limi
t at lone of the protective principle and
he hoped to be able to respond to that
rail as he- heard it, as well In the in
terests of tiie party as of the country."

U has become pretty general knowledge
about the capital that the President fa
vors the fre entry of hides, oil and coal,
and material reductions in lumber, etc.
Many of the Congressmen who composed
the delegation represent Southern dis
tricts. They told the President they had
been elected on the theory that they
would protect raw materials in which
their people were interested, and that If
the party failed to do this, their districts
would return to the Democratic col
umn. Mr. Taft listened patiently to all
that was said. He chaffed the Congress
men good-naturedly at times.
RETAIN" HIGH DUTIES OX WOOL
Conferees Agree Also on Senate Silk
and Wine Tariffs.
WASHINGTON'. July IS. Twenty-four
hours would see the end of the work of
the Senate and House conferees on the
tariff bill and a substantial agreement
upon the questions at issue but for the
five propositions iron ore, coal, hides,
oil and lumber upon which the President
stands firm for radical reductions or even
abolition of the tariff.
The rates on silks and woolen goods
were determined today. The Senate won
on both. On silks there will be a con
siderable advance over existing duties
and on woolens there Is to be no change
from the present law. except in regard
to wool tops, which are to be given a
new classification. The duty on tops is
prohibitive now and It is predicted that
it will continue so. even after the reduc
tion is put Into force.
Adjustment of tho woolen schedule is
the result of a conference today between
Representatives McFail of Massachu
setts. Boutell of Illinois and Fordney of
Michigan, who represented the views of
the House, and Senators Smoot. Carter
and Warren, who represented the de-

MISS. MARY SHIELDS ACCUSED
OF PASSING BAD CHECK.
Frenzied Finance Murji" Has Been
Arrested Five Times in Year
for Like Offense.
. Mrs. Mary Schiells, alias "Frenzied Fi
nance Mary," Is again in the toils at po
lice headquarters. For the fifth time
within a year she has been arrested by
the local police for passing worthless
checks.
Yesterday she renewed her former ac
tivities and passed a check in an in
genious manner on R. J. Bders, a shoe
dealer at 661 Williams avenue. The
worthless script was for J10, was drawn
on the Hartman & Thompson Bank In
favor of Mary Carlton and Indorsed by
John Erliff. both fictitious names. When
payment was refused at the bank the
shoe dealer notified the police.
The description furnished by the victim
tallied concisely with Mrs. Schiells. A
few hours later she was captured in her
home at Morgan and Fern streets by
Policeman Fields. At police headquar
ters the woman admitted she presented a
check in payment for a purchase at
Elder's establishment.
The police aver that the woman Is
mentally deranged and has a mania for
"laying down" bogus checks. On former
occasions this affliction has had a ten
dency to cause the court to act with
leniency. When taken into custody early
last Spring on a similar charge she was
confined to the County Jail for a short
periad and subsequently released. In or
der that she might return to her husband
and four small children.
She will be arraigned In the Municipal
Court today.

SHELL'S LAST WILL
1
Disinherited Son Now Heir to
Fortune Case Will Be Ap
pealed Once More.
ESTATE IS OVER MILLION
By Action of Court Mabclle Mc
Namara Snell, of Kansas City,
Will Ijse Her Annuity
of $1200.
CLINTON. 111.. July 16. (Special.)
After three hours' deliberation the jury
in the famous Snell case broke the will
made by the late Colonel Thomas Snell,
and by its verdict made Richard Snell.
the disinherited son of the eccentric
millionaire, heir to a fortune of 1730,000.
It is the second time that a jury In the
Tiewitt County Circuit Court has found
for the contestant, and haa set aside the
last testament of an octogenerlan whose
escapades during his declining years
brought their sensational and revolting
phases to the first trial. A motion for a
new trial will be made, and if that is de
nied by the court, an appeal will be per
fected to the Supreme Court.
Fy today's verdict, which overturns the
will in the lower courts, for the second
time, jr a belle Snell McNamara, of Kansas
City, Mo., loses an annuity of $1300, which
her admirer provided for her in lua last
testament.
The estate Is valued at tl.o00.000. Under
the will, Richard Snell, the son of the
erratic millionaire, was cast off with an
allowance of ISO a year.
The revolting feature of the first trial
developed when the famous Snell love
letters were produced in court and sub
mitted as evidence that the ancient mil
lionaire had been afflicted wieh senlla
admentia and was incompetent to dispose
of his estate.
Letters written by Mrs. Laura Hamil
ton, wife of Rev. B. A. Hamilton, to the
doddering old man of money, that re
vealed the .story of a wife and mother
who appeared willing to place her 15
i ear-old daughter in a compromising po
sition, were in the batch of correspond
ence that sickened the jury and caused
the presiding judge to have the court
room cleared of youthful spectators.
Other correspondence was from Maybelle
Snell McNamara. of Kansas City.
Burning will be the fate of all these
letters. This was decided today by Rich
ard Snell.
STORY ADMITTED FALSE
(Continued From First Pass )
claim that he knew nothing of the iden
tity of his assallantB. He said:
"If I were on my deathbed this mo
ment I could not tell a story different
from the one which I have just related.
I know absolutely nothing about who
my assailants were. I do not know
why they shot me, and the only theory
which I have to advance Is that it was
either robbery or I was mistaken for
someone else."
In his authorised version of the shoot
ing, Brackett made no allusion to his
confession to the detectives, in which he
Involved J. M. Main and Louis Quimby,
two of his closest friends, and who later
extradited themselves from suspicion of
complicity in the orime by proving sub
stantial alibis. He gave no reason for
this, and. In view of the fact that his
physicians have given strict orders that
no one be admitted to his room for the
purpose of interrogating him on the af
fair, that part will probably remain un
solved until ho recovers.
Four Versions of Shooting.
"I am sure that my brother is honest
when he says that he knows absolutely
nothing about this affair whatever," said
Ralph Brackett last rtght. "I ques
tioned him closely and I honestly believe
he Is telling the truth." '
The two statements accredited to Brack
ett last night bring the total of his sep
arate -ersios of the shooting to four.
The source from which the statement
comes that he knew one assailant is un
questioned and there can be no doubting
that he made that assertion yesterday.
It la very largely, because of these wide
ly different stories, that detectives at
work on the case believe Brackett does
know more than he has told about It, In
consequence his Inadvertent statement, let
fall in an unguarded moment last night,
to the effect that he did recognise one of
the men who assailed him, is given the
greatest credence.
Constable Wagner, who, while not of
ficially concerned in the case, seised an
opportunity to visit the wounded man
while at the Good Samaritan Hospital
yesterday, says .that Brackett told him
that he knows nothing about whom his
assailants were, or why they shot him.
Brackett Not Telling All.
"His story is very badly disconnected,
and from the circumstances is Impossi
ble of belief." said Wagner last night.
"I am of the opinion, after a thor
ough investigation Into the important
details, that he does know at least one
of his assailants, and that Mrs. Brown,
the 'woman in the case,' was, either di
rectly or indirectly, the cause which
led to it."
Both stories told by Brackett last
night tend to substantiate the alibis of
J. M. Main and Louis Quimby, and elim
inate them from connection with the
shooting. A dispatch from Seattle yes
terday completely set at rest any ques
tion as to Quimby's connection with the
shooting, as It was shown that he did
not return to Portland. A similar con
dition exists in the case of Main, a dis
patch from Ashland indicating the alibi
advanced by him was reliable.
The bill for his room, however, says the
dispatch, was paid Thursday morning.
This is probably a mistake on the part of
the hotel people, as Main left Ashland
at 6 o'clock Wednesday evening, arriv
ing in Portland Thursday morning at 8:25
o'clock.
Personal Enmity Believed Motive.
The theory that Brackett was the vic
tim of a. mistake and that the bullet
which pierced his abdomen was Intended
for another is scoffed at by Detective
Snow. The sleuths long ago made up
their minds that robbery was not the
purpose and this leaves only one other
probable theory, personal enmity against
S BROKEN
BYJURY
Brackett. Just what gave rise to this
enmity is not so perplexing a question
as is the query: Who were his assail
ants? Brackett's undue intimacy, which he
himself has acknowledged. with Mrs.
Brown, is in itself sufficient to form a
basis for purpose, provided there can be
found some one sufficiently interested to
attempt such a deed. But this hypothe
sis is not being proceeded upon alone.
There is only one point in the entire
case of which the detectives are sure in
their own minds. It is this: Brackett
knows who did the shooting and why.
In this latter connection they are like
wise sure that the "why" brings a woman
in the case, else he would not be reluc
tant about divulging what he knows of
It on the grounds he does not want his
wife to know, a statement he has made
repeatedly.
It developed yesterday that Mrs. R. M.
Brown, of 335 Yamhill street, with whom
Brackett was in company on the night
of the shooting, has been married twice.
She was married a second time four years
ago to R. M. Brown, now in the employ
of Olds. Wortman & King as a shoe
clerk. They were divorced loss than two
years ago. Mrs. 3rown has a 12-year-old
son by her first marriage, but nothing of
her husband and how she happened to be
single is known.
Husband Ignorant of Shooting.
When seen yesterday morning Brown
declared he did not even know of the
shooting and was not aware of the fact
his former wife was involved in this case.
"It is news to me." he said. "I haven't
any theory to offer. I know of no one
who could " have taken exception to
Bracken's alleged attentions to her."
Mrs. Brown was summoned before
Iistrict Attorney Fitzgerald yesterday
morning and subjected to rigid ques
tioning. She assumed a grieved role
that her name should be dragged into
the case, and maintained steadfastly
there was no reason for it. This exam
ination of Mrs. Brown brought forth
about the only important developments
of the day. They are these: Louis
Quimby. named by Brackett in his con
fession to the detectives as one of his
assailants, and who lias proved an ef
fective alibi, was on terms of possible
intimacy with Mrs. Brown. The second
point is tho bringing of another woman
into the case.
The woman named by Mrs. Brown Is
Mrs. Ella Broneriberger, of Salt Lake
City, who was known to Quimby and
Brarkett as "Mrs. Bee." She stated
Mrs. Bronenberger was her guest, and
that Quimby and Brackett took them
out several times. She confessed a lik
ing for Quimby, and said he always ac
companied her on these parties, while
Brackett escorted Mrs. Bronenberger.
About three weeks ago Mrs. Bronen
berger left the city, and the parties were
broken up. One week ago last Satur
day Quimby left the city, and Mrs.
Brown says she had seen nothing of
any of them until she was called on
the telephone by Brackett. He aked
her to meet him at his office and they
would go to the Union Station and
meet Mrs. Bronenberger, who was ex
pected to return. This was on the night
before the shooting. Mrs. Bronenber
ger failed to arrive, and Brackett sug
gested a car ride to Council Crest. They
remained there an hour or so, she said,
ata4 returned home.
Detectives Lose Interest.
"He bade me good night at the door,"
continued Mrs. Brown, "but told me ne
and his wife were separated, and that
she was in the East. He then told me
I had better be careful of Quimby, as he
and his wife live together here in Port
land. I do not know why he wanted to
'knock' that way to me. He then made
an engagement to go to Council Crest
again on Wednesday night- We went,
and were there about two hours. We
got off the car at Fifth and Washington
streets and walked up to Fifth and
Yamhill, returning home out that
street. We never had any quarrel on
the return,, and did not stop oil the
way."
Deputy Fitzgerald 'Stated last night
he expects to have a talk with Main
and Quimby, and see if they can throw
any light on. the case.
Under the belief that Brackett knows
who did the shooting, but does not want
to tell It. and In consequence will not
make complaint, the police detectives
have lost interest In the case to a cer
tain extent, although they are still at
"If -we should 'turn It up,' what would
be the use? Brackett would deny it,"
said Detective Day yesterday. "What
good can it do.?"

"I would not have accepted any other

In addition, his knowledge of Russia,
whose policies have embraced Northern

'UNCLE JOE' CAN'T MEDDLE
Steady Procession Around Bases
and Abundant Hits and Errors'
to Puzzle Scorers Hef lin
Before Swift Ball.
WASHINGTON, July 18. With "Uncle
Joe" Cannon looking on and powerless
to call the minority to order or bring in
a special rule shutting off base hits, the
Democrats of the House of Representa
tives walloped all sorts of tariff sched
ules out of the Republicans at Ameri
can League Park today, and won the
most famous congressional baseball game
on record by the thrilling score of 2S
to 16.
Heflln Saves His Hands.
The Democrats put up a rattling game
in the field some times. Representative
Heflin, of Alabama, playing In one of
the outer garden, once had a chance
to be a hero. The Republicans came to
life in the fifth Inning and were scoring
eight or nine or ten runs, when a line
fly went winging oi-t into left field
straight at Heflin. The portly Alabaman
cast one eye at the ball and another at
his bare hands and "ducked."
Representative Nicholas Longworth, of
Ohio, failed to live up to his advance
notices. He presented a natty appear
ance in his golf-trousers. but he
"Caseyed" out twice with two men on
bases.
Democrats Are Exhausted.
The Republicans stuck to their original
line-up throughout the seven innings,
but the Democrats wore themselves out
making ten runs in the second and after
that substitutes were called on with
increasing frequency. The nearest news
paper scorers could come to the base
hits and errors was to give the Demo
crats 23 of the former and five of the
"latter.
The Republicans are credited with 20
safe hits and nine errors. They were
captained by Representative Tener, of
Pennsylvania. The Democratic leader
was Representative Klnkead, of New
Jersey. Rev. Father Jttmes Reynolds, of
Red Bank, N. J., was umpire. The score
