Scores OF women, many Interested In

the interest or the entire city. DR.,

Miss May c. Stuart, CT Stewart, of

afternoon.
The identity Of Miss Stuart has been
clothed in considerable mystery until to

but at least she viii be able to give
important testimony as TO the condition
OF Sutton and his associate Officers only
few hours before the shooting.
Miss Stuart remained at the hotel
after the officers left. She was so pros
trated the next day when she heard
Of the tragedy that DR.. Murphy was
called in to attend her. He ordered her
removed TO the Emergency Hospital the
morning Of October z, and it was found
necessary to perform an operation.
The records Of the hospital show that
the operation was for .'hysteria entomy-

hospital for week OF ten days follow
ing the operation and then returned TO
her home in Pittsburg
One Of the developments Of the past
few days is that Lieut.. Robert E.

one Of the Sutton party on the night Of
October y. and who knows all about
the tragedy, returned to Annapolis

Consumers Last Hope Now
in Presidents Power of

HAS WHIP HAND
OVER CONFEREES
Believed That Duties Will Be Low
cred Rather Than Risk
Veto.
By JAMES HAY. II.

That the President has told no one
definitely whether he viii sign or veto
the pending tarfn bill. and that the
members Of the Senate Committee on
finance are eager to satisfy him that
the main features OF the Aldrtch meas
ure are as they should be, were the
principal Its brought out today as
the result OF the many calls made on
him By prominent Senators.
Today furnished a striking illustration
OF the tremendous power Of the Presi-
dent of the United States. Senators
sought TO learn his attitude toward vart-
Gus schedules. Men interested in the
lowering or raising Of schedules asked
his influence in their behalf. lie wss
in conference almost continually from
O'Clock this morning until this after
noon on the subject Of the tariff
Although most Of his visitors were
ehary about quoting Mr.. Taft. some Of
them allowed it to be understood that
he will not sign bill containing some
Of the Objectionable features of the
Aldrich measure. They expressed their
confidence that, as a result Of the Presi-
dents wishes in the matter and the use
OF his great power in such a situation.
the conferees on the bin win feel the
necessity Of going 10 work on the task
OF putting down many schedules.
Tn EUIFU pra-.s-g
From a close friend OF Mr. Taft came
tie staiUmErt that the President is u.s.
termined 20 have the conferees turn out
q final form of the bin which shall full
hu the pledges Of the party and the
promises which he himself made in the
campaign for general downward re-
vision Of the tariff.
II is not to be Inferred that the Presi-
dent is going at this matter with
club IL his hand or that he is assum-
ing to coerce Congress. On the con-
trary, Congress, and especially the Sen
ate. seems TO have come 10 the coneIu-
sion that it is the part Of wisdom 10
meet the Presidents wishes before Il
is.too late. They realize that, as a party
matter. II would be the height Of un-
wisdom 20 put up 70 Mr.. Taft a tariff
bin which he could not sign and at the
sams time feel that he and the party
were fulfilling their pledges.
This is the view OF the matter taken
BY the friends OF the Administration,
who are optimistic today that Mr..

and argument W. bring the conferees
TO a realization that the bill, in its last
analysis, must mean general down

Doesn't Meet Requirements.
II Is the general impression among the
friends OF the President that he would
not hesitate to veto a bin which he be-
lieve6 incompatible with the party's
platform pledge, and that in its present
shape the Aldrich bin does not meet
his requirements.
First among his callers today was
Senator Smoot OF Utah, a prominent
member Of the Finance Committe. Mr..
Smoot, after talking with the Presi-
dent. said he had gone 10 the White
House TO tell Mr. Taft that the Senate
