CONFERRED

REVISION OF TARIFF DISCUSSED

Roossvslt VIII Not Gun . Special Ssssios

He VIII. IL 10 Declared. Msintais
His Attitude Toward tho trusts and
Insist on Reciprocity For Cuba.
Oyster Bay. L. Lone Of the most
impr rtant political conferences Of re-
cent years was held in the home OF
President Roosevelt. The men engaged
in the conference were the President.
Postmaster-G General Payne. Senator N.
A. Hanna. Of Ohio; Senator Henry Ca.
bot Lodge. Of Massachusetts,; Senator
Nelson W. Aldrich. Of Rhode Island;
Senator william B. Allison. Of Iowa,
and Senator John C. spooner. Of Wis
consin.
As q result Of the conference. It Is
sisted on reliable authority. Mr.. Roose-
velt has decided not to call q special
session Of Congress to revise the tariff:
be will continue to maintain bis stand
In regard to the trusts, and he will
still insist that reciprocity be granted
to Cu0d. He Is to give his views and
intentions In regard to this subject on
his Western trip.
The first question taken up In the
conference was that Of tariff revision.
The President declared himself as IA
voring q conservative revision Of the
tariff. but not at the present time. He
said It was impossible. in his opinion.
to make a thorough and careful re-
vision of the tariff during a short ses-
sion.
The President declared. most en-
phatically. against any radical revision
Of the tariff. and said he wanted
changes made only on such articles as
II could be shown were too highly pro-
tected.
Furthermore. President Roosevelt
said he did not believe It should be
made an Administration measure be.
fore the long session Of the Fifty-eighth
Congress.
Upon the trust question It was most
difncult to reach an agreement The
President announced that he was op.
posed to any policy on the trust cues.
tion other than that enunciated in bis
speeches.
Senators Hanna and Spoonsr were
two Of the men who opposed any rad.
fcal attack on the trusts.
It was finally decided that the Presi.
dene should use his own discretion In
handling the question.
he is to urge q constitutional amend.
ment and to pledge himself to direct
the Attorney General to prosecute Wig
orously under the existing laws any
trust that can be shown to have vlo-
lated those laws.
On the question Of Cuban reciprocity
II was agreed that the President should
clearly enunciate Ills position in his
speeches through the beet sugar States
on his Western trip. He will argue
that reciprocity should be granted the
people Of the island, because 1t had
been promised them. and because It
was part Of the policy Of President
Mckinley.
The strike situation in the coal re.
gion was not discussed. according to .
member Of the conference.

New York City. - When Nicholas
Fish. the millionaire banker and So
ciety man. was found dying In West
Thirty.fourth street few days ago
he had been In saloon with two
women and a man. According to the
police. the man was Thomas ]. Shar-
key. private detective. who was ar-
rested and locked up on the charge Of
having struck the blow that caused
the death Of the banker. With Sharkey
two women. Mrs. Libbie J. Phillips and
Mrs. Nellie Casey, were taken to the
station.
The arrests were made at 2 o'clock a.

clan said after an autopsy. by violence.
not by fall upon the pavement.
Sharkey. who has conducted detec-
tive agency for some years. was taken
before Coroner Jackson. together with
the two women. The man was held In
bail Of $4,000. the Coroner having the
discretion of fixing a sum because the
evidence pointed to homicide that was
not murder In the first degree. No one
appeared to furnish the bond. and the
prisoner staid In the. Tombs. Mrs.
Phillips and Mrs. Casey were released
on $500 bail. Mrs. Phillips Is thirty
eight years old: Mrs. Casey thirty.
Sharkey denies that Fish met death
at his hands. and claims that the fatal
injuries resulted from fall on the
pavement. There are. however. some
mysterious features In the case which
the police are attempting to clear up.
