Durrani. through his attorneys, will
ask Governor Budd today TO pardon
him, on the ground ;!!:s,s .sc 80 u:ur-
derer OF Blanche Lamont has at last
confessed his crime The lawyers de-
clare that they have not been hoaXed,
nor is it their purpose TO impose on the
executive. They insist that in the per-
son Of John Rosenberg. convict al San
Quentin prison, they have discovered
the man who is guilty Of the horrors
of Emmanuel church. John Rosen-
berg has made a sworn confession be-
fore a notary public and in the pres
ence of several witnesses that he killed
Blanche Lamont at the instigation OF
a stranger and in consideration of the
payment of 500 for his bloody work.
II is with this sensation that the at
torneys will strengthen their case at
Sacramento today. The story and ITS
details is one Of the most remarkable
that has developed in the case. Ro-
senberg is a Russian sailor and arrived

is now serving a term for horse steal

MORE DEMOCRATIC TROUBLE.
Division on the Tariff Bnl-Think They
Should Present a New One.

WASHINGTON. May 14.-There Is a iif-
ference of opinion among the democratic
members of the senate committee on
finance as to the policy to be pursued
in regard to the tariff bill. Some Of
them. notably Senator German, are Of
the opinion that the democrats should
prepare a substitute bill and introduce
1T. They suggest that this substitute
should embody a tariff favoring uni
formly lower rates than the republican
bill. either as prepared in the house, or
as amended by the senate committee
on finance.
There is, however, quite pronounced
opposition 20 this programme on the
part of many democratic senator's, in
cluding several members Of the cons
mtttee ON finance. They take the
position that the safest course for the
marty Is to stand by the Wilson bill
which. while n is not perfect, IS still q
democratic measure. The party, they
say. has taken the position that no tar,
ir legislation is necessary. The ,am-
paisn was fought ON other conditions
and they hold that to raise the tariff
question on their own motion would be
inconsistent and unwise. Those who
hold to this idea are willing that
amendments should be offered eoverine
all the schedules and it is probable that
This course will be pursued.
