I Washington. May 5.-The possibili-
ties of the passage of the tariff bill
and adjournment of the special ses-
sion of congress before June Is or
July l seems to have vanished.
This conclusion has been reached
by the president as a result of recent
talks with senators and representa-
dives, and he made it known to-day.
The senate is not making the head
way with the Aldrich measure that
was expected. and bs6ore the new
tariff law can be presented TO the
president for his action, there must
ensuc a long conference between rep
TeSen tatiVes of the two houses.
Among those who have the trend
of important legislation on the tarih
there is the belief that the real tar
iff revision DILL remains TO be framed
In the conference. Whatever influence

ees. The president is averse TO being
drawn into the fight at any stage. and
Sfhere is no thought that he will be
until the conferees begin their eOnsid-
er3tion of the two bills as passed by
tae house and senate.
In view OF the conflicting reports
as 20 the presidents attitude on var
ious special taxation propositions that
have been suggested in connection
with the new bill the president has
reiterated his position to recent call
ers. He is still hopeful that with
the revenue TO be derived from the new
hill and with economy in the admins
ton of the government. viii prove
sufficient TO prevent deficit.
If it should be shown that the gov
ernmenJ finances need further sup
port to meet current expenditures.
the president will adhere to his origi-
nal position that a graduated federal
inh6 ritance tax is the most just that
could be levied and would prove the
easiest TO collect. An income tax, the
president believes, and always has be-
licyed. should be levied only as a
last resort.

predicate their opinions of the mental
condition of the defendant Captain
Peter c. Hams, when he shot and
killed William E. Annis at the Bay
side Yacht Club.
AS an answer TO the hypothetical
question. which covered the actions
and speech of the defendant tending
TO show his irTationality as put in
evidence, Dr. Manson. the first alien
