they attempted suicide together. This
theory has been supported by this
note left by the woman:

REVISION OF DlN6LEy
TARIFF NOW POSSIBLE
Pr0teCti0nlSts Fear Successful Rt-
tack Unless Cuban Reciprocity
Row Is Settled.

WASHINGTON. March 5.-Unless
the Ways and Means Committee can
agree upon something acceptable to
the the beet sugar and Louisiana cane
sugar growers a revision of the Din
gley law seems probable. Representa-
tive Dalzel and other high
protection advocates believe that any
reduction on cuban sugars would GER
tainly bring about a general and sue
cessful attack on the tarif.
The beet-sugar interests Will not
agree to the 70 per cent reduction ad-
vncated by Chairman Payne, of the
committee, and are using the Bah
cock bill placing iron and steel pro-
ducts on the FIRE list as weapon.
IF the members of our own party
hurt our beet-sugar industry we will
combine with the Democrats to hurt
the iron and steel business Is the
cry u the beet~sugar people.
The members of the committee are
doing nothing toward reaching an
agreement. The conference next Satur-
day nigh. will probably refuse to &C
cept the 20 per cent reduction.
