without flinching and fell dead at first volley. Ferrera, except for a momentary expression of emotion inn mediateiy preceding death, retained his composure to the last.
 His attorney, M. Galceran, who de- fended the prisoner so loyaIly as to bring about his own arrest for i'm properly addressing the court, ob tained permission for brief talk with the revolutionist before the latter was led to the ditch where he was to die. To his attorney Ferrera spoke feeling ly of the work for which he sacrificed his life, and Of the future of his daughter. whose brave attempt to save him touched the father most deeply.
 With the execution of Ferrera, the authorities have removed from the af- fairs of Spain a man long suspected of revolutionary activities and one who. because of his education and influence. was deemed peculiarly dangerous to the state.
 The decree of court martial was carried out in the face of protests from sympathizers not only in Spain but in all parts of France.
 In Paris and Rome attacks were at tempted upon Spanish embassies. which, however, were protected by police and soldiers.
 Many petitions for clemency were addressed to King Alfonso, who also was threatened with death should he not spare Ferrera's life. Ferrera was formerly director of the modern school at Barcelona and was repeatedly ac- cused of teaching revolutionary doe trines. In 1906 he was arrested. charged with complicity with Manuel Morales in an attempt upon the life oi King Alfonso on the day of the royal marriage. On trial Ferrera Nls acquitted. He was arrested on Sep tember 1 last, charged with having in cited riotinS at Barcelona last summer.

 A Gift of Babies.
 The president was the recipient of another gift which he will no doubt greatly prize Among the members of the Tucson delegation was Ii. Buehman. former mayor of Tucson and the photographer of that town for more than a generation Many years ago. MT Buehman be- gan the making of composite known as "Buehman's Babies In 9 single picture are the faces of 2.551 babies, the negatives of which have been taken within the last thirty years. Some of those babies now have babies of their own and wrought into the picture.
 Some of these faces are as large as would appear in miniature photograph while others are not larger than. the head of a common pin But all are wonderfully dis tinct though it requires a glass to bring out the smaller faces
 Mir. Buehman brought an elegantly mounted copy of this picture with him to be presented to President Taft and the presentation was made by Governor Sloan just before the departure of the presidents train.

CONFEREES WILL

Prospect Good For an Agree
ment Today
MUCH TROUBLE OVER HIDES
Differences Between Two Houses
Almost lrreconcilabIe on Question
of Leather Goods

Washington, July 24-WhiIe no
agreement was reached by the tariff
conferees yesterday on coal, lumber,
hides, oil, iron, ore, the cotton sche-
dule or wood pulp and print paper, it
was said last night by the conferees
after adjournment for the day that
the prospects of settling these big
questions were excellent.
Should the conference complete its
work today it would be impossible to
report before Tuesday.
The question of hides is giving
the committee more trouble than any
of the schedules. The discussion had
not proceeded far before it was de-
veloped that the difference between
the two Houses We're almost irrecon-
cilabfe, unless boots and shoes and
leather goods should be greatly re-
duced if hides were to go on the free
list.
Tie only terms on which the west
ern senators would consent to consid-
er the abolition fthe duty involved
the removal of the duty on leather
goods. 1t is understood that the
Rhode Island senator said that there
was no use in reporting to the Senate
something that stood no chance for
adoption and that the aide interests
and the shoe interests must make
concession if any agreement was to
be reached.
Discussion then turned upon the
amount of reduction the leather trade
could stand without serious injury.
On this subject a variety of opinions
were expressed.
Soon it was developed that the
conferees would have to confer with
associates not on the conference com
mittee and therefore an adjournment
was taken.

that is of interest and value to the
people of the state. Among other
things this report shows that the to-
tai number of schools now in the state
is 1889 against 1859 in 1908. Rut-
land county has the largest number
of schools, 254 and Grand Isle county
the smallest IS.
Increase in the number OF school
weeks is almost 500 over 1908 and the
aggregate of days attendance of all
the pupils in the state is over 1,O0O.-
600 days. The cost of operating the
schools per week has been $40 against
SIS last year and cost per pupil has
been 500 against 500 last year
OF the $4,000 appropriated for
transportation, Orange county receives
the largest amount s3,170.29 and
Windsor county second receiving 3d.
HOP. The number of school chill
dren has increased about 400 since
last year but the total number of
children enumerated is about 1000
less than last year, due largely to the
negligence of clerks and school boards
and school districts who have failed
to make a house to house canvass.

City court yesterday to serve from 10
months to a year in state prison for
obtaining money under false preten-

Exware is 60 years old and his
benign countenahce and venerable APP

throughout New England. He would
get piece of baggage checked . a

check would steal off with his bag
gage. Then he would proceed to the
destination of his check and. not

road for settlement, claiming that the
lost trunk contained valuable arti-
cles Exware is said to have been
working this game for considerable
time vita success.
