t'lllimitum of Aldrlch. '

Senator Aldrlch has tnformed Sena¬tors from Northwestern States that hewlll not consent to tho abolltlon of theduty on hldes unless there Is a materlalcut ln tho rates on boots, shoes andothor leather goods. Sonators fromcattle-ralslng States Inslst that theonly way consumers can get any bene-flts from the removal of the protectionon hldes wlll be by a correspondlng re¬

ductlon of the duties on boots andthoes and harness.

If for any reason anythlng shouldorcur to upset the plan to glve con¬

ferees jurlsdlctlon to adopt rates lowertlran those named by either house. theconference commlttee Is holding whatls regarded as a trump card ln reserve.Thls provldcs for the preparatlon of a

conference report puttlng hldes on thefree Ilst and reduclng the rates on

shoes and other leather manufactures.The report, lt ls said, then would be

presented to President Taft. and ltwould devolve upon him to securo Us

support. In the event of fallure theconferees would submli a report plac-lng a small duty on hldes and theHouse rates on leather.Kew of the conferees believe that

lt will be necessary to resort to suchtactlcs, however, for all of them re-

nllze that the crltlclsms usually heapedupon members who oppose the admln-lstratlon view make men hesltato to

combat tho Presldent's wlll. On thataccount lt ls belleved iho compromiseglvlng cheap rates on shoes and othermanufactures of leather ln return forfroe hldes wlll be adopted.The program ort whlch the confer¬

ees are working Is as follows:Hldes free, as provided by the House,

agalnst tho Senate rate ot 15 per cent.od valorem.

Sole leather, 5 per cent., the same as

In the House bill, as agalnst the Sen¬ate rate of 15 per cent.Dressed upper leather, 7"_ per cent.,

es agalnst 15 per cent. ln both theHouso and Senate bills.Boots and shoes, 10 per cent., as

Senators Intrusted wlth tho task ofcanvasslng tho Senato reported to-daythat lt would be Imposslble to adopt a

report provldlng for free hldes. TheseSenators conferred wlth some of thaHouse loaders and were lnformed thatunder present condltlons lt is just as

'mpossible to pass a report through theHouso without free hldes. Thls con-vlnced the conferees that lt would be-futlle to spend any more tlme trylng toreach an agreement unless concesslonswore made to cattle interests ln theform of reductions on leather.Accordlng to the leaders to-nlght,

the plan is to complete the confer¬ence report beforo presontlng a ruloto the House provldlng for the reduc¬tlon of tho shoo and leather duties be¬low the House rates. It is sald thattha conference report wlll be submlt¬ted to the House on the same daythat the rule ls reported.

Like Bolt from the Blue ComesHis Straightforward Statement

of. Events Leading Up to

Tragedy.Another Blowto Story Told by

Officers.

ANNAPOLIS, MD.. July 26..To-day's session of the board of in¬qulry at the Naval Academy,

whlch ls lnvestlgatlng the clrcum-stances surroundlng tho death of Lleu¬tenant James N. Sutton, of the MarlneCorps, who was mysterlously shot two

years ago, afforded some surprise lnthe testlmony glven by Charles W*.Kennedy, now a private in the MarineCorps at Norfolk, and Surgeon A. _».McCormlck, U. S. N.Kennedy dropped into the sltuatlon

llke a bolt from a clear sky, and tolda frank, straightforward story of somoof the lncldents prlor to the shootingwhlch had not been mentioned by anyof the young officers who have alreadytestlfled. Though an eye-wltness to theearller encounter between tiutton andLleutenant Adams on the nlght theformer was shot, Kennedy's name hasnot been mentloned by the wltnessesconcerned in the affalr. His testimonysupported the contention of Sutton'smother and sister that Sutton did notseek the llghts with Adams and thoother officers. In attacklng hls credl-billty, Major Leonard, the Judge advo-cate, showed that he had been dlscl-pllned on several occaslons.

Told to "Keep "aulet."Kennedy said he bad been reluctant

to mention his *»art ln the affalr be¬cause Lieutenants Utley and Adams,hls superlors, had admonlshed him to"keep quiet." On his way to relleve a

sentry he had come upon Sutton, Adams.Osterman and Utley ln an angry argu-ment."Adams, lf you want to flght, I'll

flght you," he* heard Sutton say, .th*;witness testlfled. They fought hard foia few minutes and Sutton's face was

bloody when Lleutenant Utley inter-fpred. A second tlme he saw Adamsand Sutton come together 'as he wa!going away to hls post, Kennedy sald.Half an hour later Kennedy heard th«shots from his post at the naval hos¬pltal. Soon after Adams appeared andtold Kennedy that Sutton had sholhlmself. Utley also told him that Sut¬ton had kl\led hlmself, the witness said.The next.morning they both cautlonedhim not to say anythlng about the af¬falr. On the following mfcrnlng thewitness sald he saw Lieutenant Utleygo to the edge of the parade groundsand plck up a 38-caIIbre Colt servlcerevolver.Kennedy's testlmony was not shaken

by the cross-examtnatlon of Adams'scounsel, Mr. Blrney, nor by that ofMajor Leonard.

DeBcrlbes the Wound.Dr. McCormlck was present at the

autopsy he'd on Sutton's body and ex-amined the bullet wound, he testlfled.He located the wound' back of andsllghtly above the right ear, whlle Dr.Pickrell testlfled it was near the topof the head.There-are no other navy wltnesses

on hand, and lt ls expected Mrs. Sut¬ton and her daughter will testlfy to-morrow.To substantlate Kennedy's testlmony,

Lawyers Davis and "Vandyke, Mrs. Sut¬ton, Mrs. Parker and several newspa-per men went to the parade groundsafter the adjournment and took thevarlous posltlons from which the wit¬ness said he saw and heard the fights.Lawyer Davis said afterwards thattheir case would rest princlpally onthe testlmony of Kennedy and Mrs.Parker.

disposed to put a tax upon nearlyeverythlng that ls made or sold. The rateupon moving ptcture shows, llgbtnlnsrod agents, poolrooms, soda watetfountalns, etc, is being raised llber-ally.When the clause taxing lmmlgratlor

agents $500 a year was read, there wasan outburst of anger all over thehall, and Lewis, of Hancock, deciared

"I move that thia clause be' strlckerout. We have been yelltng that w«want to be rld of the negrft and thaiwe want him senf to Afrlca or Aslsor the Phlllpplnes. And now. whera man comes along and wants to senca fav of the shlftless and lazy one*North, we propose to charge h'lm $50(for the prlvllege of dolng somethin-:that will be for our beneflt."
