TWO ARE PENALIZED.
One GIidden Car Caught Fire But
Water Was Handy.

Hugo. Colo. July 28-Two of
the cars participating in the Glidden
tour were penalized yesterday, one by
reason of damage to its radiator due
to striking a mud hole, and the other
because of a leaky lubricant pipe.
One of the high power cars caught
fire but as water was handy no great
damage was done.

was resumed at o'clock this morn
ing.
Considering the heavy rains in the
section the roads are in com parative-
ly good conditions although bad
washouts necessitate expert handling
of the cars to avoid serious damage
by sudden contact.
The cars penalized on yesterdays
run were the American Simplex
which lost its hitherto perfect score
bv dropping into a mud hole and
damaging its radiator. and the White,
which came in with a leaky lubricant
pipe. The formers penalty was 1.04
points, the 1atter's 1872 points. The
Midland car lost the trail after leav-
ing Colorado Springs. but made such
good time after finding the road that
it was among the first cars IN.

dent also made his position clear on the
glove schedule. The house raised the
rates on the better class of gloves far
above the Dingley figures The excuse
for this was that a strong effort was
being made in this country to build
up a glove industry.

dent finds himself on the side of the

passenger. The former record was
made last year by his brother, VIII

machine in which both achievements
were performed at Lemans, France,
with Prof. PainIeve, of the French
institute, as passenger. That flight

Another Stumbling Block in the
WayOf Tariff Agreement.

with Sl.25 as the Final Basis
of Settlement.
Taft Holds Conference With a
Party of Congressman.

Washington, July 2S-Despite the
fact that a practical agreement has
! been reached on most of the big
issues in the tariff situation the con-
| ferees who met again this morning
with the evident desire to wind up
| their labOrs, were confronted with
another issue-the lumber schedule
growing out of the conference at the
| White House last night. Yesterday it
was the understanding that the house
| cOnfereeS had surrendered to those
of the senate in the matter of the
lumber rate, but last nights con-
ference called at the instance of
house conferees and many other in
fiuential representatives were present
apparently has placed an entirely diff
ferent aspect on the situation.
At its close after midnight many of
the representatives stated with
earnestnesS that the conference re-
port could not pass the house unless
the lumber schedule provides for the
house rate on lumber, 81 a thousand
feet. A few others. however be-
lieved a compromise making the rate
$1.25 would be the proba BILE outcome.
Unless there is a speedy adjustment
of the lumber schedule the conferee's
report may be held up longer than
was anticipated
Taft Is Not Satisfied.
Congressional visitors to the White
house today reported that President
Taft is not satisfied with the prospect
of the supposed agreement of the
house and senate tariff cOnferecs as
announced.
Mr.. Taft is said to have expressed
himself in emphatic terms regarding
lumber and to have declared that he
would insist that the rate on lumber
should not go over SIPS.
That hides have been traded for
lumber in the preparation of the re-
port on the tariff bill, was reiterated
bout the capitol today in connection
with the report that the tariff con-
fereeS had agreed to the retention of
the senate rate of $3.50 per thousand
on rough lumber.
When the confereeS met today
they took up the glove schedule. but
the action was largely perfunctOry as
it was practically agreed yesterday
that the house increases should pre-
vail. In both houses around the
conference room and even in the
minds of the COnfereeS the lumber |
question was much more pertinent |
than the glove question.
Meantime the pot was boiling
along the northwest border. Senator's |
Nelson and Clapp in one end of the |
building and Representative Tawney |
in the other were stirring it. They |
as we'll as many other senators and |
representatives We're quite incensed |
over the change that had been made /
and many assertions We're heard that |
no report for higher rate on lum-
ber than the house had fixed could be |
adopted by the house.

manner in her presence and that she

Under cross examination by CharIes
Morschauser, counsel for Thaw, the
witness was attacked fiercely. He
succeeded in bringing out the TACT
that she had been recently arrested
on a charge of perjury after an un-
successful suit to recover 100000
damages from a man.
The woman emphatically denied
that she kept any of the money that
passed from Thaw through her

"Then why did you stand for ali

MorSchauser.
"Oh. felt sorry for him." was her
answer.
Goes Into Family Matters.
"Are you willing that we should
call her here as witness against
yOu?' continued Jerome, referring TO
Thaw's wife.
Thaw hesitated and his attorney
an objection, declaring
that he insisted upon the privilege of
the domestic relation under which he
could keep Evelyn Nesbit Thaw off

regiment has arrived from Tarragona

Madrid. July 2S.-The latest Off
cial reports from Barcelona, which
were considerably delayed, indicate
that the city is almost at the mercy
OF the mob.
The anarchists CardenaI and Her
reros are reported as being the lead
ers in the rioting, which was accom-
panied by fncendiarism and the de-
struction of property. The convent
of Maritas was taken by assault and
the church of st. Paul and the Con-
gregational schools of ST. Antoine
were burned. The captain general
and staff were fired upon as they
were riding through the Boulevard
Paraletc.
Bands of strikers were dispatched
from Barcelona to the surrounding
country to destroy the railway with
the object of preventing the arrival
of troops to reinforee the Barcelona
garrison. The troops from Valencia
were forced to disembark at Ven
drell, II miles from Tarragona, from
where they drove the strikers before
them.
The events in Catalonia province
have caused some reaction in public
opinion.

Did you ever write u letter to your
wife containing an improper draw
ing" asked Mr.. Jerome.
On objection of Thaws counsel the
question was not answered and a le-
gal tilt took place between counsel
regarding Mr. Jerome'S right to in
troduce a letter written by Thaw to
his wife.
Mr. Morschauser, for Thaw. in
sisted that letters between husband
and wife were sacred and cOntiden-
tiaI. Justice Mills postponed his rul-
ing and the letter was held up for the
present.
Thaw left the stand for a few mo-
ments at this point to let his side put
on Peter B. Olney, a member of the
commission, whose report was pre-
sented in April, 1907.
When Thaw resumed Mr.. Jerome
questioned him about his life at Mat
teawan.
The witness said he was in a ward
with 81 lunatics.
