QUESTION TO Hot Fight Expected Over the ' Schedule in Conference Washington, July 13. When the conference committee on the tariff began work today it was the under standing that the witnesses to the , lumber schedule, over which a con j test was certain, would be reached j before adjournment. The house memoers were expected ' to make a strong fight for dollar lum ber, which was defeated in the senate.

Johnson, sentenced yesterday at San Jose to serve seven years in the penitentiary for bigamy, is reported to have confessed that he is the myste rious "John Madson" wanted here and in many parts of the country for irregular matrimonial ventures. Johnson's alleged confession, however, printed in a local paper, is so full of incon sistencies and so at variance with the statements he has made since his arrest that the police are not inclined to give it full credence. in bis alleged confession Johnson declares be has been married to so many women that be cannot count them off band. "In 1906," he wild, "I quit my bus iness of buying borscs and from that j da.? to this 1 hare been making my living by marrying and making love! to women, getting tbelr money and I then deserting them." I One of his most amazing feats, ac-' cording to his own confession, was making love to ten women at one ! time in Portland. Oregon. While ho j admits that he cot money from most ! of them, and that his marriages were part of a get-rlch-qulck scheme, John son declared that In every Instance he spent tbe money he received upon the victim herself. "They kept me broke all the time Is the way he expresses it. He gives the names of his alleged victims In Portland as Mrs. Ellta Jones and a Mrs. DeLude, wife of a sea captain. He married Mrs. Jones, he says, but only made love to Mrs. DeLude. Confirmed in Portland Portland, July IS. Investigation shows that Johnson's confession, so far as It bears upon bis doings in Portlaud. lends further evidence, to his identity as the mysterious "Juhu Madson." He was known to be ac tive here In 1906 and 1907, and the records of Vancouver, Wash., show a marriage license was Issued there on February 16, 1907, to John Matson to marry Mrs. Maria I-. Jones. When sinning the document he signed "John Madson." He deserted her af ter obtaining a considerable sunt of money. That he attempted to make love to Mrs. Dcl.ude Is practically substantiated by the Investigation of newspapermen. Mrs. DeLude 1b an extraordinarily beautiful woman, nnd lived In a fine residence in one of the best districts. She Is supposed to be at Nome, Alaska. If Madson had other victims here they have never taken the mutter to the police.
