hi the interest or success of the
Democratic tariff revision bill, President
Wilson Wednesday stepped over
another obstacle in the way of perfect
harmony between the White
House and the directing forces of
congress. For (he second successive
day he left his oilice in the White
House and journeyed to the capitol,
this time for an hour and a half conference
with Democratic members of
the Senate finance committee.
At its conclusion the president
stated frankl\ to newspaper men that
he and members of the Senate were
agreed that nothing stood in the way
of harmonious support of the "party
platform" as to tariff revision. The
Senate situation was canvassed in
detail in the conference. The dangers
that might threaten a single bill
should the opponents of free sugar
and free wool combine in sulllcient
strength to endanger the Democratic
majui'iiy m 1.110 senate wore discussed;
but no agreement was reached
that binds the Senate leaders to any
definite line of action.
While the Senate conference was in
progress, the full Democratic membership
of the House was in caucus
at the end of the eapitol, discussing
t.ho details of the tariff bill, the first
schedule of which was agreed to
without change. Representative Underwood,
the Democratic leader, stated
at the conclusion of the day's
caucus that the tariff revision would
go through the House as a single bill.
The president again ignored long
standing precedent in seeking legis!
lative conference within the eapitol.
He met the Senators in the president's
room, near Senate chamber,
where presidents have long come to
sign the last hills of a dying congress,
but which has never Dol'ore been used
for such a purpose as Wednesday's
within tho knowledge of Senate historians.
At the end of the conference the
president, with Democratic simplicity,
stepped into the Senate corridor
to tell newspaper men the Jesuits
of tho meeting. Members of the
Senate finance committee had agreed
that the president should bo the only
spokesman for the conference.
"I hope the senators and representatives
will permit me to come
here frequently and confer with them
In a way to save their time and
mine," he said. "At our conference
this afternoon we were, of course,
discussing the tariff. The net result
is we don't see any difficulty about
standing together on any sort of party
program."
The president was asked if the conference
had decided whether the tariff
would he revised in a single bill or
schedule by schedule.
"That's a matter for the other end
of the capitol," he answered, pointing
toward the House side.
"Rut they will be guided by your
advice, will they not?" he was asked
by the newspaper men.
"I haven't asked them," rejoined
the president with a smile.
The president had been informed
by the senators fully of the difficulties
ahead of the tariff bill if it came
to tho Senate as a single measure.
Further investigation is to ho made
to determine strength that could be
mustered by opponents of free sugar
and free wool. As a result of Wednesday's
conference, which is to be
resumed later, It is believed the president
will not object if Senate leaders
determine it is essential that the tariff
bo split up into a number of measures.
President Wilson's decision to visit
the capitol was communicated to Senator
Simmons and to the sergeant alarms
of the Senate early in the day.
Senator Simmons was notified that
the president would be in his room
at the capitol at three o'clock and
would like to resume the conference
with finance committee members
which began Monday morning at the
White House. Extreme simplicity
surrounded the president's arrival at
and departure from the capitol. The
Senate was deserted and hut few people
witnessed the coming and going
of the executive or realized the importance
of the precedent he had established
in visiting the capitol for
legislative conferenles.
Representative Proussard of Louisiana
announced he was prepared to
present at the right time a plea for
adequate protection of sugar. HeprMAntn

Four Thousand Dollars !)j tin* Old
Spanish Swindling (iainn.
The latest victim of tho time-honored
Spanish swindle* Is Mrs. Charles
Mergers, of New York, who lost $11,
000 of her own money, representing
tho savings of a lifetime, in addition
to $ 1,000 borrowed from friends.
I,ate in January of this year Mth.
Margers received from Madrid a letter
signed "Serge Solovio," relating
briefly that ho was an American
banker and had conducted a banking
establishment in St. Petersburg, Russia,
since 1907, but that he had recently
failed, the amount of loss being
11 vo million rabies. However,
he had managed to retain one million
rubles, one-half of which was
on deposit in the Chicago City Hank.
He further stated that he was in
prison for manslaughter, having killed
his sweetheart's brother, who had
induced her to steal a half million
rubles from him (Solovieff) in Madrid;
that he had a daughter 15 years
of ago who had been placed in an
orphan asylum; furthermore, a check'
for the half million rubles was concealed
in his clothes at the prison,
which would be sold at auction within
three w< eks. He admonished Mis.
Margers not to write letters, but to
send cablegrams to "Alvaro Corrales,
Almiranta 2 Cuadruplicado tor I/.gda,
Madrid, Spain."
Mrs. Margers cabled a request for
full details and also asking him to
? xplain definitely his object in writing
to her. In reply she received the
second letter as follows:
"It is sad to relate that my downfall
Is due to the Russian revolution.
Mv wife committed suicide on account
of my losses, and 1 was left
with a child la years of age. 1 came
to the United States, placed my
money in the Chicago City Rank,
Chicago, 111., and then returned to
Spain to get. my daughter. I know
that you are a good mother to your
three children, and 1 know that you
would he a good mother to my little
daughter during the time I am serving
my five years' sentence. Pray,
come to Madrid, but first stop at the
Hotel Victoria, Calladoli, Spain,
where two prison keepers will call
and escort you to the orphan asylums.
They will get my daughter
and bring her to the Madrid prison.
I will then give her instructions in
your presence as to how to invest the
money in the Chicago bank."
There was also inclosed a faked
newspaper clipping headed:
"Arrest of a St. Petersburg hanker.
Charged with fraud in Russian
and manslaughter in Spain. Interviews
of the two ambassadors." The
"clipping" purported to tell the story
of the fugitive and in a way to corroborate
the account of himself
which he had given to Mrs. Margors.
Additional correspondence elicited
from the "Spanish prisoner" that he
WES willing to give $4 00,000 in gold
if $4,000 was immediately forthcoming.
Thereupon Mrs. Margers sent
the following cablegram on February
13: "I will start on February 13.
Will arrive February 23."
She registered at the Hotel Victoria
on arrival at Valladoli. Two men
met her there, one handing her a
letter which stated that she was to
remain at the hotel for six hours,
until they brought the girl and a
check for $4 00,000. One of the men
demanded that she produce the
$4,000 in American .bank notes. Mrs.
Margers demurred and insisted that
she he shown the girl and the check.
Finally one of the swindlers proposed
that she advance $20 for the purpose
of cabling the Chicago bank for
verifying their statements.
After an absence of an hour the
rogues returned and gavo their vie
i tim what purported to ho a cablegram
from the Chicago City Bank,
as follows:
"Chicago, 111., Check No. 6790 for
$400,000, issued by tho London,
Mexico and American Bank is payable
to bearer on presentation to our
hank. Scott, Manager."
This cablegram, written on an official
cable blank, convinced Mrs.
Margers, and she handed over the
$4,000. The men then left, saying
they would be right back. Of course
they never returned.
In the last issue of the official postal
guide postmasters are requested
to give tho widest publicity to this
swindle.

KEEPS OPEN HOUSE
i PERSIDENT WILSON HAS NO SECRETS
TO HIDE.
WANTS PUBLIC TO KNOW
Anybody May Find Out What is (?oinn
on at tlio White House-?The
President's Secretary is Always
Accessible and Can be Keen by the
People.
The whispers and the gumshoe artists
and the mysterious fellow who
moves around on tiptoe with his tinker
to his lips ("mum's the word,
you know") are disappearing rapidly
from Washington, says a correspondent
of The Baltimore Sun, writing
from Washington. Most of them
have already gone from tho White
House precincts, along with the gold
lace boys, those army and navy aids
who used to stand around in full uniform
most of the time, giving an air
of splendor to the landscape. Gold
lace seems to be at a discount in the
neighborhood of the White House.
A military or naval uniform is rarely
seen and the whisperer's occupation
is gone.
All of which delights the newspaper
correspondent, who ils almost
startled, after all these years of
aboveboard. He can hardly realize
that he can get a straightforward answer
to almost any question he may
want to ask. It is all so different.
lOven the attachees of the olllee, who
have held over from the Taft administration,
seem relieved at the
change, although some of them at
llrst shook their heads in doubt its to
how the new policy would work out.
Now they are not afraid to be seen
talking openly to newspaper correspondents
and realize that they will
not he suspected of divulging official
secrets.
To those who knew President Wilson
and the man he has chosen to he
his secretary there is nothing strange
| in the new order of things. Hut the
correspondents on duty in Washington,
or most of them, did not know
I either until they took up their residence
at the capital. President Wilson
has always heen a foe of secrecy
where the people's business is concerned,
and has frequently stated
that he could see no reason why the
people should not he kept informed
promptly of what their officials are
doing. Except for some few matters
involving international affairs he
could not see why there should be
any secrecy about what went on in
official Washington.
Secretary to the President Tumulty
agrees with him heartily, but the
correspondents who have spent years
in Washington shook their heads.
"They all talk that way at first,"
they said, "but the order soon goes
out that no information is to be
given, except by the heads of the departments,
and then they refuse to
say anything." They are amazed
and delighted to find that their prophecies
have gone awry, although
some of them still shake their heads
and say that it can not last; it is too
good.
In these days any responsible
newspaper man can get the "straight

KILLED BY THE POLICE.
Atlanta lforse Was Bitten by a Mad
Bog and (iocs Mad.
An Atlanta dispatch says just as a
variation on tho dozens of mad dog
calls police olllcers have had during
tho last two or three weeks, there
came a telephone call from 6 8 Tindall
street Wednesday morning, that
a horse, recently bitten by a dog, had
gone mad and was kicking the stable
to pieces. When the policeman got
there he found that tho horse was
foaming at the mouth and was so
wild that nobody dared enter the
stall lie was in, nor even the stable.
The animal had already kicked the
stall to pieces and smashed out several
planks in tho barn. After telephoning
the veterinary to make sure
there was no other way, the policeman
raised his long barrel 8 8 in the
sill of tho door and put a couple cf
miners in us neau.
Twenty-three Killed in Wreck.
A (lisiiatch from Boma, Belgian
Conga, says twenty-three persons
were killed Saturday when an entire
train, with itb locomotive, plunged
through a railroad .bridge crossing an
arm of the Congo, at a height of 15 0
feet. No one on board was saved.

Sentenced for Assault.
Convicted of attempting criminal
assault on a young lady school teacher,
Percy Brooks, a merchant-farmer,
of Whiteburg, Ala., was Saturday
sentenced to a term of twenty years
in tho penitentiary. Sentence was

When Lieut. Chandler was taken

It is believed he was killed instantly
by being struck by so .mo part of the

Lieut. Brereton escaped with slight
injuries, but was suffering so severely
from the shock that when he attempted
to explain the accident, lie
collapsed almost to unconsciousness.
At the fort hospital, whither he was
rushed for treatment, admission was
denied all callers, tho remainder of
tho day.
The two officers had started from
the army aviation school on North
Island, and were encountering no difficulty
in their flight until suddenly
their craft veered sharply to the right
and plunged downward. Fellow aviators
