loon 3, Hinsdale In October. 1907. He
was tried in March, 1908. but the jury
failed 10 agree. On that trial Sherry
said the shooting was done in self
defense. On this trial he put in no
evidence.
Both Sherry and his victim, Harry

Washington. March 9.-When con-
gress meets on tie 18th instant upon
the call Of the president to consider
4 revision or to tariff there will be
no constitutional restriction upon the
nature Of busi-ass that may be trans
acted. II is generally conceded that
at least two months will be required
for the house af representatives to
conclude consideration Of all the
schedules invo!s I'd In this legislation.
The house itsel: viii not receive the
bill for some weei.s as tho committee
on ways and mems viii require con.
siderable time to report the measure.
Senate WIN De idle.
During this long period the senate
will have nothing to do in respect
to the tariff and even after the bill
leaves the house 1t will be In the
hands of the committee on finance for
some time before the senate actually
gets possession Of 1t and the debate
begins. Then will begin Z long wait
by the house Of representatives until
the senate amendments can be known
and conferees appointed to bring
about an agreement upon them.
This procedure will result In each
house having to remain In session
with nothing to do In relation to the
tariff covering a period OF couple OF
months. Three days Is the extent OF
recess that may be taken by either
body.
In view Of the extended period OF In
activity that would face each house
should nothing be considered except
the tariff, many senators are consider
ing the advisability Of entering upon
other legislation which they believe
ougt to be passed In time to send It
over to the house when that body has
disposed Of its bill and will only have
to wait for senate action on the tariff.

MURDER snROUDtD N mYSIfM


Washington. March 9.-The body of
a well dressed man, partially covered
with snow and with ragged wound
In the neck. was found yesterday near
Alexandria, Va, q short distance from
Washington.
In the pockets of the clothing was a
travellers check for 5000, issued by
the Wells-Fargo Express company at
Los Angeles. Cal. payable to Walter
F. Schultz; card bearing the same
name, but with an address OF 1914
Douglas street. Sionx City. Iowa. and
another card which bears the name Of
Mrs. Alma Hume Gillette.
A motive for the. murder is lacking.
and the Identification Of the man sup.
posed to be Schultz Is by no means
complete. Cards and other papers
found In the victims clothes are be-
lieved to have been placed there by
his slayer.
The theory that the man committed
suicide is not credited. The police as
sert that 1t Is improbable that rob-
berry was the motive, as $2S in cash
and a gold watch were found in the
pockets Of the victim. One theory is
that the murdered man was an inau-
guration visitor who was lured from
the city.
The authorities believe that they
will establish the identity Of the vic

It was expected the president would
arrive in his automobile and his sud-
den appearance among the crowd Of
several hundred persons on the side
walk and street was surprise. There
was no attempt at demonstration, but
the eagerness to get a close view OF
the new president was not yelled.
After the service the president &C
companied his brother on foot to the
latter's temporary residence at Du-
pont Circle. where he remained for
more than an hour.
Takes Horseback Ride.

had business to transact during the
day, thus beginning his administration
with his heretofore enforced maxim
that Sunday should be day Of rest.
A quiet family dinner was served at
the White House during the evening,
at which were present several mem.
