by u jury in Judge Brentano's court
last night, verdict declaring her
innocent of stealing lace from Agnes
Barrette, proprietess of the Irish lace
store in the Wellington hotel, being
returned at 7:10.
1t was sort of Scotch verdict
which the jury handed in. as ap-
pended to the bottom of the finding
was statement that they further
found that the charges made against
Agnes Barrette were unfounded and
untrue. Miss Barrette was not on
trial, and the jury simply placed in
writing the fact that they did not
believe Ella Gingles'' sensational
charges made on the stand.
Last of Case.

heard the last of Ella Gingles so far
as the criminal court is concerned.

Attorney Patrick O'Donnell said
last night that, now that he had de-
Tended the girl successfully, he would

Modified Bill
LEADERS CONSULTED
Predicted That the Fight Will
be Ended in Ten
Days.

Washington, July 20.-Without trans
acting any business of moment, the
senate today, after brief session,
adjourned until Friday.
The difficulty experienced by the
leaders of the house and senate in get
ting sufficient votes TO carry through
in modified form the presidents free
raw material program was augmented
today through the development of GER
tain differences in the conference room
over a large number of important
schedules that have not been disposed
of by the cOnferees.
The conference has given its atten-
ton almost entirely to the dutiabe
list, leaving it to the leaders of both
houses and the president to determine
course of action with regard TO the
free raw material controversy. The
conference committee adjourned until
tomorrow in order that the conferees
might have more time TO look into
questions involved i'll consideration of
the schedules that are yet unsettled.
Wide Difference of Opinion.
\ wide difference of opinion was en-
countered in today's deliberations, lii
tie progress being made, although sew
cral minor paragraphs were disposed
of. The president was busy today in
consulting with congress leaders about
the tariff bill, Among those who had
conferences with him were Vice Pres
ident Sherman, Senators Crane, Root,
Curtis. Warren, Aldrich, Speaker Can
non, and Representative Dwight OF
New York, republican whip. There is
a strong impression at the White house
that matters are shaping themselves
satisfactory and that the fight will end
within 10 days with all party leaders,
including the titular head himself, i'll
a happy frame of mind.
Payne's stand.
Washington. July ~20-It is learned
on excellent authority late today that
Chairman Payne of the house confer
epce committee refused to permit any
proposition to go to vote. He had TAX
en- the position that he would not sign
any report simply because the major
ity of the house republican conferees
had voted on it. This stand means
apparently that a majority of the house
members of the conference are antag
onistic to Payne. On at least some
propositions he intends to direct the
action of the house conferees in favor
of the presidents program.
Invited to Dinner.
Washington, July 20.-All the re-

with Aldrich He endorsed the atti-
tude of the president on the question
of reducing duties on raw materials.
Cannon visited the tariff conference
chamber Immediately after the ad-
journment of today's session and had
a long talk with Aldrich and Crane.
The speaker had been at the White
house earlier in the day in company
with Representative Dwight of New
York, the republican whip.
When Cannon left Aldrich's room
last night he said the conference must
frame the program for passing the
conference report thrCuga congress,
and that thc representatives of the
two branches would have to assume
the responsibility for their action.
This remark was understood to sig
Nifty that binding rule couldn't be
locked for to carry an unpopular re-

Aldrich left the Office building with
Crane for the purpose of considering
the possibility of putting through the
senate the conference report providing
for free iron ore. free oil and reduced
duties on coal, lumber and hides.

terion the senate leaders are CON

are opposed to free hides. or even TO
