ens Fight on Paper Duty.
WASHINGTON. July 28. The ma
jority members of the conference
commits on the Payne-AIdrlch bill
brought their labors to a sudden close
at 6 o'clock tonight. Without mo
ment's dlay they hurried away by auto
mobile to Fort Myer to submit their re
port to President Taft. who had gone to
see the flights of the Wright aeroplane
All day the conferees struggled with
the questions of bringing down the House
rates on gloves and the rate? on lumber
to figures they felt would meet with
executive approval, but they failed.
Slight Reduction on Lumber.
Lumber was made dutiable at rates
only a little below those of the Senate
bill and there was a slight shading from
the House rates on gloves of good qual
ity. Although It was not admitted by
the conferees, the general Impression was
that Messrs. Aldrtch- and Payne, bad
been authorised by their colleagues to in
corporate in the report such figures as
could be agreed upon with the President,
insofar as they came within range of
what the leaders believe will be accept
able in the House and Senate.
Don't Like Taft's Opinions.
Returning from the conference at Port
Myer, Messrs; Aldrtch and Payne
seemed dissatisfied with the outcome, al
though neither would discuss the con
clusions reached.
It was announced officially that the
Xtomocratlo members of the conference
committee would be called Into the ses
sion at 10 o'clock tomorrow. It was
stated also that the conference report
would be presented to the House prob
ably at noon Friday.
It required a roll call to fix the rates
on lumber, which follow:
Lumber Rates Adopted.
Lumber, rough, Jl 40 a thousand feet.
The House rate was C and the Senate
rate tl.60. The Senate differentials were
adopted, making lumber planed on one
ride dutiable at tl-80; two sides, 12.15;
three sides, K.Z2. and four sides. $2.90.
' The Spnata rates on lath and shingles,
, which were higher than the House rates,
also were adopted.
Votes were taken on rough lumber at
$1.25 and at J1.60. but no agreement could
be reached except at the tl.40 rate for
rough, with the Senate differentials on
finished lumber.
Dlnfflcy Duties on Gloves.
Gloves were made dntlable at rates con
siderably In advance of the duties fixed
by the Senate bill, which for the most
part were the same as the Dingley rates.
The conference rates follow:
Women's and children's gloves valued
at not more than 4 a doien, C50 a dozen;
valued at more than H but not more than
12 a doaen. $4 a dozen; valued at more
than $12 a dozen. 35 per cent ad valorem.
The echmaschen glove of sheep origin,
which Is the cheapest skin glove manu
factured, was made dutiable at $1 a dozen.
Tiii is a heavy reduction from the House
rates.
Senators Elklns and Scott of West Vir
ginia and Clark of Wyoming vainly en
deavored to get the conferees to make
the rate of 4o cents a ton on coal apply
to the short ton. which. It is said, would
make a difference of about S cents a
ton and operate to advance the rate to
the equivalent of 50 cents.

Mann Will Flfrht Paper Duties.
The print paper rate was fixed at $3.73
a ton. This Is only 2SV cents less than
the Senate rate and $1.75 more than the
House rate. It is expected that this
rate will arouse the ire of the special
House committee which Investigated the
wood pulp and paper question. Chairman
Mann, of that committee, has announced
that he will not vote for the conference
report unless the $2 rate is retained. Ths
conference rate on paper is $3.25 a ton
lower than the existing rate.
Hides were left on the free list, con
tinrw 4jpon' the adoption of the House
rule authorizing the conferees to go be
low the House rates In fixing the rates on
leather and leather products.
If the report Is laid before the House
on Friday, according to present pro
gramme, it will be taken up Saturday.
Taft for Tariff Commission.
Senator La Follette talked with the
President regarding the absolute necessity
Df establishing a commission of experts
to get at the fnots of the tariff and to
. inform Congress. The President, It was
f said, is strongly in favor of a commls
' oion and had hoped that the present
tariff bill would carry one. As mat
ters now stand, the bill will authorize
the President to appoint a commission
' to assist him solely In administering the
maximum and minimum provisions of
the bill. No appropriation, however, is
carried, even for this purpose, so that the
prospect of a commission is very remote.
Mr. La Follette predicted, however, that
a commission would come and that the
President would wield his growing In
fluence for It.
HF.TBFRV GETS HIS BACK TP
Denies Taft's Right to Interfere.
Will Vote Against Tariff Bill.
OREOOXIAV NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, July 2S. President Taft has sent
twice for Senator Heyburn recently to
discuss with him tariff schedules affect
ing his state, but both times Mr. Hey
burn has refund to go. He maintains
that the President has no constitutional
authority to take any hand in shaping
tariff legislation while It is before Con
gress and should keep hands off until
the bill Anally passes both bodies and
goes to him for signature. So far as he
is personally concerned. Mr. Heyburn
does not propose to submit to Presi
dential Influence.
Mr. Heyburn today snld he Intended to
vote against the tariff bill, no matter
In what shape it Is agreed upon by the
L-or.ference committee. He wants to see
the hill defeated, so that the Dingley
rates win continue in effect. If this is
done, he says the Republican party will
. have carried out Its pledges, and he will
say to his people that Congress has re
vised the tariff and found no changes

official note was issued savins: that
the situation was exceedingly grave
and that the rebellion must be re
pressed with an Iron hand, as the Cata
lonians were struggling; to engulf all
Spain In a revolution. The note says:
"The government has acquired proof
that the agitators seek at all cost to pro
duce a seditious movement throughout
Spain or a revolution with the object of
preventing the movement of troops and
to block the action of the government,
especially bo far as it concerns the cam
paign at Melllla. The government has
ordered the Governors of the provinces
concerned to employ the most stringent
measures and to maintain order at any
cost."
People Hostile to War.
The hostility of the people against the
Moroccan campaign, which has been fol
lowed by widespread disturbances, is
based on resentment that the nation has
been plunged In a foreign war and that
the nation's sons are being sacrificed
merely because of opposition to a private
mining undertaking. The poorer classes,
from which the regiments are chiefly
drawn, are especially bitter, complaining
that the man who can pay $300 Is exerapt
from military service.
The greatest antagonism has been
aroused by the mobilization of the re
serves. Many of the men In the re
serve forces have large families, with
out means of support other than what
they themselves can earn. Touching
scenes occurred when the poor work
men wera called to the service. They
wandered aimlessly about the streets,
leading their children, whom finally
they were forced to Abandon. At the
last moment, however, the Government
decided to keep the reserves in the
home garrisons, and charitable people
came forward to care for the unpro
tected wives and children.
Tribe Flock to Melllla.
Advices from the front say holy war
sentiment is spreading among the in
terlor tribes, who as soon as their
crops are gathered, are expected to
flock to the coast and join the Rlfflans,
While Spain Is convinced that she has
a huge task on her hands, it is claimed
by the Government that a big army will
soon crush the Moors.
Terrible Scenes in Barcelona.
Iate telephone advices from Barcelona
describe the situation as terrible, espe
cially in fhe Paraleto district, where gen
darmes and mounted artillerymen
charged the mobs with drawn sabers.
When the military governor rode
through the streets to proclaim a state
of siege, tbe crowds advanced so men
acingly that a squadron of cavalry was
forced to charge. Women and children
took refuge In St. Monica's Church.
Streetcars were burned and a carriage
containing several correspondents was
struck by bullets. A mob headed by a
woman was dispersed by cavalry, many
women and children being shot. Red
Cross workers are giving aid to the
wounded, the municipal doctors being
unable to attend to all.
Barcelona's suburbs are the picture of
desolation. At Pueblo Xuevo the convent
is badly damaged and the church of San
Pablo and the parochial schools are in j
ruins.

SPANISH IOSE OVER 200 MEN
Moors Gain Decisive Victory Outside
or Melilla In Two-Day Fight,
MELJLLA, July 28. An official report
of yesterday's battle shows that it was
one of the most sanguinary of the cam
paign. The engagement was fiercely con
tested and the Spanish forces lost more
than &10 In dea'd and wounded, the slain
including General PIntos, two lieutenant
colonels commanding naval contingents
and a large number of other officers.
Word was received that the Moors had
destroyed "several "hundred yards of rail

who flrst fired from the fastnesses of

WARFARE MAY CPSET CABIVET
Conditions In Spain Thought to
Spell Doom for Manra.
PARIS. July 28.-rPrlvate advices re
ceived here from "Madrid say the feeling
in Spain against the war on the Riff
Coastis strong and widespread, and it
is doubtful whether Premier Maura will
he able to weather the storm. The
masses are described as being hostile to
the war, the purpose of which they do
not comprehend, and which they suspect
of being an outgrowth of mining specu
lation. ,
The position of General Marina, com
mander of the Spanish forces in Morocco,
is described as being inherently weak. He
must maintain his base at Melllla, hold
Mount Atalayou, four miles distant,
which protects his advance post. The in
tervening country is interspersed with
ravines dominated by the foothills of
Mount Guruga, offering splendid oppor
tunities for surprises by the Moors.
Zaroone Is Latest Victim of Gang
Which Killed Benditto Six Years
Ago and Put Body in
a Barrel.
DANBURY, Conn., July 28. Search is
being carried on by the police for the
man connected with the shooting last
night of Giovanni Zaroone, who was
found lying on his doorstep here by his
son, his head riddled with shot.
Beyond the theory that the shooting
may have to do with Zaroone'B alleged
connection with the so-called barrel
murder" several years ago in New York,
the police have as yet been unable to
find a motive for the crime.
FOURTH MURDERED BY GANG
Bunch of Counterfeiters Believed to
Kill Off All Who Knew.
NEW YORK. July 28. Giovanni Za.
roone, the Italian murdered yesterday
near Danbury, was the fourth man con
nected with the mysterious- "barrel mur
der" In this city in 1903 to meet violent
death. Following the discovery of the
body of Madonia Benditto in a barrel
here, Zaroone was one of those arrested
on a charge of causing Benditto s death.
Later he was discharged.
Since then three men whose names were
prominent in the barrel affair have been
slain. The first one was Luccama Ferino,
known as "Petto the Ox," who was shot
In Pennsylvania. Vlte La Duca was mur
dered later in Sicily, and Messina Geneva
was killed near Dayton, O.
The barrel murder is believed to have
had its origin among a gang of counter
feiters and the police say they believe
that the four who have since given up
their lives were members of the gang.
It is thought Benditto was aware of the
counterfeiters' work and was put out of
the way. Since then the real murderers
of Benditto have been killing the men
who knew the details of the crime, it is
believed, and were In a position to make
damaging revelations.

Fbund Dead at Asylum With Broken
Neck, and Coroner's Jury Can
not Explain Tragedy.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 28. The
funeral of Arthur M. Ritchie, son of
Mrs. Caroline Adair, one of the wealth
iest and best known society leaders of
England, was held today after a Coro
ner's Jury had decided that it did not
know how he had met his tragic death
at Belmont Sanitarium, where he was
found dead with a broken neck last
Sunday.
Ritchie had been confined for some
time in the asylum, where he was sup
ported by his mother. He had been con
fined in several private asylums In
both England and this country and his
latest incarceration followed a rambling
story of robbery which he told the
police July 15. At the time he was liv
ing quietly in this city, following his
escape from a sanitarium in White
Plains.
The dead man was the son of Captain
Ritchie of the British Army, whose
widow married John George Adair, an
extensive landowner of England.
It is believed that Ritchie met his
death by falling from a window while
attempting to escape from the Belmont
Sanitarium.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 28. A white
girl, 9 years old, known as Man Ho,

was taken from a basement opium den
in Chinatown today by the police, where
she is supposed to have been kept for
some years by a Chinese couple. Al
though apparently not mistreated, the
child has rarely seen the sunlight, and
evidently was kept in close confinement
in the dingy basement with only a half
starved puppy for a playmate.
She was discovered by Miss Donaldlne
Cameron, of the Presbyterian Chinese
Rescue Hore, who received her informa
tion through an anonymous letter. The
shild is a mystery of the Chinese quar
ter. Nothing is known about- her history
or parents.
When questioned through an interpreter
she said that she had always had a
"Chinese papa and mamma and uncles
and aunts" and that she hal lived, with
them before the earthquake of 1906, In
Oakland and Sacramento.
Tun See and Mah Juy Lin, the Chinese
couple in whose, place she was found.
declared that llftle Mah Ho's mother
was a New York woman who married a
Chinese, and who died when the child
was young. The father, they declared,
gave the little girl to th-:m. The child
has the appearance of being an Italian.
Her foster mother was heartbroken
when little Mah Ho was taken away by
the police and placed in the Presby
terian mission pending further investigation.

t
Lawyer Protests Change of Plan in
Case, but Says If It Is Insisted
Upon He Will Produce Sen
sational Developments.
WASHINGTON, July 28. Protesting
against the action of the court of In
quiry investigating the death of Lieu
tenant James N. Sutron of the Marine
Corps, H. E. Davis, attorney for Mrs.
Sutton, today appealed to the Secretary
of the Navy to vacate tbe court order
by which officers with Sutton on the
night of the tragedy are regarded aa
defendants.
Mr. Davis declared that while be
ginning its task in the form of an in
quiry, the court suddenly ' has been
changed into a prosecution, placing the
defendants upon their guard and forc
ing Mrs. Sutton and himself into the
position of prosecutors. The protest
went directly to Assistant Secretary
Winth.ro p, who will carefully consider
the representations.
A decision probably will be rendered
tomorrow.
Davis Outraged at Change.
"I am astounded, incensed and out
raged at the court's ruling," said Mr.
Davis. "However, if I am placed In the
position of a prosecutor In this case.
kid gloves will be conspicuous by their
absence."
Mr. Davis made a point respecting
the standing of Lieutenant Utley, to
await whose arrival from Europe, the
court adjourned.
"If the Navy Department allows my
protest and Utley goes on the stand as
witness," he added. Tie must not
be allowed to communicate with any
of the officers who have testified, nor
to discuss the case with any one, nor
have access to any testimony.
Utley Valuable Witness.
"But If declared a defendant, he can
examine all the testimony and can
confer with hla fellow defendants. This
would nullify absolutely the usefulness
of the most valuable witnesses in the
case."
Mrs. Sutton, . Mrs. Parker and
their attorney, Henry Davis, re
turned from Annapolis last night.
Mrs. Sutton and Mrs. Parker an
nounced that they would not see any
one, and would not receive newspaper
callers or answer telephone messages.
Attorney Davis said today that if the In
quiry continues under yesterday's ruling,
bigger naval scandal will be exposed
than the original smothering of the facts
concerning1 Sutton's death.
Assistant Secretary Wtnthrop today
said he had no 6iecial information con
cerning these proceedings and . did not
intend to ask for any. He suggested his
own view of the propriety of giving all
officers who have been involved, however
remotely. In the charge of killing Lieu
tenant Sutton, an opportunity to hear
the testimony that is to be taken.

Alleged Interloper Shot
EVERETT, Wash., July 28. In a dis
pute over right of way. Perry P. Pres
cott. foreman of a right-of-way railroad
construction crew, was shot ny A. G.
Smith near Granite Falls this afternoon.
The track was being built across Smith's
property. The road had been laid there
before, but Smith tore it up. declaring
the company had no right of way over his
lir,fl. Smith Is under axreaV
etery. Eleven graves were within the
right of way, and the railway builders
offered to remove the bodies with all
respect. This failed to satisfy the In
dians, who, encouraged by the fortunes
obtained from the sale of their reserva
tion near Prince Rupert, demanded cash
according to the rank of the departed.
Heavy Scale of Prices Asked.
For disturbing the bones of a sub-chief,
burled some 20 years back, J1600 was de
manded. Further compensation was re
quired on a scale of S760 for each brave.
.$260 for a squaw, and $100 for each pap-
poose.
Failing a settlement, the Grand Trunk
Pacific has referred the matter to the
Minister of Indian Affairs at Ottawa,
and meanwhile armed Indians are guard
ing their cemetery and grading on that
section is suspended. Over the several
graves on the ri&ht of way are posted
notices signed on behalf of the dead In
dians, in ungrammatical English, to the
effect that the dead have rested there for
many years In sight of the river and that
any removal can only be atoned for by
payment of cash as balm for the injured
feelings of surviving relatives.
