THE WOMAN WINS
MISS DE ZAVALA DEPARTS IN
TRIUMPH AFTER WITH
DRAWAL OF SHERIFF.
IS REFERRED TO COURT
Defender Is in High Spirits After
Siege of Sixty Hours, Subsist-
ing on Struggled

San Antonio, Texas, Feb. Ia
Miss Adina De Zavala vacated the
Alamo property yesterday evening
at O'Clock, but she has in no sense
surrendered. She came out with col
ors flying and only after the foe had
agreed to submit the question in
controversy to arbitration By the
courts of Texas
She never left the Alamo at all
until after the two deputy sheriffs,
who have been on guard, departed
from the building and left her in
undisputed possession. She then
made formal transfer of the prop
erty to Superintendent of Buildings
and Grounds Day, who will hold the
property in the name of the govern
or until such time as the suit at
Houston is finally decided by the
courts, with both parties to the con-
troversy agreeing to abide the re-
suit.
The demand of Miss De Zavala
that the San Antonio suit be includ-
ed was dropped on the understand
ing that the Houston case would be

brought to a speedy trial. While the
date has not been fixed, it is agreed
by both parties that neither will ask
for a continuance, but that the trial
shall take place at the earliest pos
sible time.
One of the contentious of Miss De
Zavala was that, after repeated eff
forts, she had not succeeded in get
ting the Houston case tried. The
agreement for a speedy trial met her
appreciation and the agreement was
signed.
The matters will now be carried
into the courts, and a long and bit
ter fight will result.

possession He arranged for watch

ferring with the governor will decide
as to it's disposition, pending a set
tlement in the courts.
Despite her long vigil in the Ala
mo, Miss De Zavala left in high spir-
it's. She was rather begrimed from
exposure and rather faint from lack
of food, but was brave and defiant.
Her food yesterday, up to the time
she left, consisted of only oranges,
where were smuggled yesterday
by her attorney. Nelson Lyttle.
Miss De Zavala received many tele-
grams from over the state and the
United States congratulating her on
her stand.

lor needed, has caused fearful
huttering among the high-tariffites
They didn't expect 1t just at this time.
Their reply is that Mr.. Carnegie. from
the day he came to be easily master
of iron in America, was tariff-for-
revenue man, and that his reason for
taking this position was that he knew
he could maintain himself against any
outside competition, but didn't think
his smaller competitors could do so.
Therefore IL he could get the tariit
reduced he would presently have the
American field entirely to himself, and
would establish a fine monopoly.
If that argument was good decade
ago. 1t is apparently better now, say
the high-tariff people; for now we see
the steel trust perfected-the very
thing Mr.. Carnegie had in mind when
he wanted protection taken away from
his competitors 1t would put an end
to all possibility Of competition, If the
protection were now to be removed and
the trust left alone.
All the same, while the argument Is
put forth with much earnestness that
Mr.. Carnegie is playing the trusts
game, his declaration has been very
embarrassing to the Chinese wall
school Of protectionists. They remem-
Der that Tom l.. johnson used to say
the same things when he was in the
iron business; and they know that
about half the iron and steel OF the
world are now made in the United
States. They find manufacturers de-
manding lower tariff in order to get
cheaper raw material for iron and steel
goods; and altogether they are en-
barrassed to know how to dodge the
point MIR. Carnegie has raised.

Washington, Nov. s5-The great Am

they get it they will probably be re-
tired from business In the next few
years. They deny Indignantly that, in
common with many other interests
they are asking an increase of their
protection not with the hope of getting
it, but in the expectation of making
good bluff and saving all they now

The importers of wooden goods. 1t is
reported, are prepared to make some-

gan an infant, and has grown to be the
greatest Industrial giant in the world.
The man whose genius made 1t great
declares that 1t no longer needs the

Why Wool Growing Failed.
But wool has not done so we'll. 1t Is
difficult to tell why, save that the
American farmer never found 1t neces-
sary to go into sheep to such an ex-
tent as Australians have done. Aus
tralia raised sheep because they We're
the most profitable thing to be raised
there. American farmers have raised
steers and hogs and corn because on
the whole they paid better. The tar
iff couldn't make the sheep business
grow as the iron business grew. Now
there is demand for removal Of the
iron tariff because it isn't needed any
longer, and Of the wool schedules be-
cause they are alleged to have failed
in their purpose.
The sheep men say that American
flocks would have been pretty nearly
put out of business in the last decade,
but for the remarkable series Of drouth
years WDlcn dtlilcteu Auoeis'iie'' ~.
say it is impossible to count on such
conditions lasting always; therefore 1t
is desirable to raise the wool tariff be-
fore the Australian revival sets in and
drives the American sheep over the
precipice
To all this the manufacturers, deal
ers and consumers reply with the in
quiry, is it worth while? They say
the wool tariff should be looked upon
as rather revenue than protective
one; and they insist that looked upon
in this light, it is wrongly adjusted; 1t
forces wool to pay an unfairly large
share Of the customs revenues.

Such details, as a rule, are easy to
