LUMBER RATE
FIRS! 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.
It is probable that after the witnesses
are heard the deliberations will be
continued 'for ' some time with the
possibility that it will go over to give
the conferees an opportunity to dis
pose of other minor amendments.

THAT HE IS THE MYSTERIOUS
J
AND
01
MADSON
San Francisco, July 13. Christian C. 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.
