Harmony Dinner May Bring Some
 Free Raw Materials

Washington, July 23.-If President Taft, in calling to dinner House and Senate conferees, had an idea that they would be able to come to a. set clement of their differences over the table, as seems to have been the ex- pectation in some quarters, he was mistaken. No differences were settled and the question as to whether there should be a duty on hides and iron ore, a reciprocal arrangement with Canada on lumber, and free coal with a coun- tervailing duty on oil and the reten- ton of the low House rate of S1 per thousand on lumber is still in the air. The President had to confess that he had not been successful so far in 4se- curing the necessary votes to carry out his desire for free raw materials. But, as a matter of fact, the dinner was not arranged with the idea that the rates, should be adjusted at that time. I was Harmony dinner, designed to smooth over feelings which have been ruffled during the serious con- flicts and offer an opportunity of ex- position to, the President of the exact situation in both House and Senate as to the possibility of putting his pro gram through.
 The upshot of the whole matter was that the fight was put back in the hands of the conferees for agreement among themselves. The only thing developed was that President Taft could not have his own way entirely on the five important subjects in which he has interested himself and that the result. if a bill is to be finally passed, must be a compromise between those who want free raw materials and those who are insisting upon the Senate rates on iron ore, oil, coal, 1um- Der and hides. The best information today is that in the end iron ore and oil will be made absolutely free a small duty somewhere between ten and five per cent. will be put hides; lumber will be made either S1 or $1. .25 per thousand and coal will be reduced to about 50 cents per ton without any authority being given to the President to enter into the reciprocal arrange ments with Canada, by wlaich free en- try of that product from that country might result.

Still Wrangling Over
 Revolver in Sutton Case
Ry Samuel M. Evans. Staff corres-

CBy Samuel M. Evans, Staff Cores
 pendent of the United Press.)
 Annapolis, Md, July 23.-All inter- est in the Sutton inquiry to-day cen tered in the mysterious movements of the mysterious revolver which some one handed to Sergeant De Hart dur ing the fight on the academy campus, ending in the young officers death. The attorneys for the Sutton family declare that they will put every par ticipant in the fight on the stand and ask him the question Did you give De Hart a revolver that night?''
 They want to know also, what sort of a revolver it was. Was it nickel ed revolver? Sutton's revolver was not nic.eled. Could that revolver that De Hart says was showed into his hand when Sutton was shot to death, have disappeared entirely? Where is it now? These baffling ques- tions. that go to the root of one of the most important questions in the mystery surrounding the midnight tragedy, have not yet been answered.
 The former board of inquiry made no effort to find out from what make of revolver the bullet that entered Sutton's head was fired. The former board made no effort to preserve the bullets that were taken from the re- vOlver found by someone the next morning. It seems absolutely 1mpos-
 
 shots heard that night were fired from the Colts and Smith & Wesson reVol- vers found somewhere by someone the next morning. Lieutenant Willing re- members that there were three explod- ed cartridges in the Colts but cannot remember about the others. It has been suggested that another revolver never seen again, after that night, was brought into play. In explain ing why he did not look for any re- volver that night Colonel Doyen, com mander of the marine corps, declared yesterday that he heard nothing about any other revolver at all.
 Attorney Davis announced to-day that he will insist that these points be cleared up before any definite de- cision be made. Mrs. Parker said: "It is all very queer, this matter of the revolver. As a matter of fact my brothers Smith & Wesson was never used that night by anyone will show this and many other things before the case is finished.''

IS GATES FIGHTING
 THE STEEL TRUST?

Pittsburg, July 23.-If John W. Gates preparing to wage a vigorous fight on the United States Steel Corporation !? This is the question that Pittsburg steel men are asking themselves to-day following announcement that the Re public Iron & Steel Company, of which Gates is a prime factor, has awarded to the McClintic-Marshall Construction Company of Pittsburg the contract for a new steel tube plant at Hazelton. Ohio, to cost $1, 100000.
 According to local officers of the con struction company work on the new plant will be started within a few days. This decision of the Republic to enter the pipe and tube business has caused much comment in steel circles Many well informed steel men say that this decision has been largely due to the activity of Gates and it is inti- mated that this movement will be fol- lowed by changes in the near future in the steel trade one of which may be the amalgamation of the Republic company with the other steel com pany-

Retail Dealers Hardware and Imple-

Dallas, Jan. 21.-The eleventh an
nual meeting of the Retail Dealers
Hardware and Implement association
Is in session with an attendance of
over 400 members and several promi-
nent visitors, among the latter being
D. M. Parry, former president of the
American Manufacturers association
and the head of the large establish.
ment of Indianapolis bearing his name,
and E. w. Mccullough, secretary of
the National Wagon Manufacturers
Association of the United States of
America.
In calling the association to order
President o. e. Schow spoke of the
wonderful growth of the organization
during the past twelve months.
The address of E. w. Mccullough
was listened to with great interest.
The decline in profits, both of manu-.
facturers and jobbers. he declared,
was due largely to the intensity of
competition and failure to realize the
increasing and many new expenses
that have accrued the past few years.
Mr.. Mccullough recommended that
the organization maintain effective
committees on details of cost and find
ing, and that the results of said com:
mittees' work be sent to all dealers
in their territory every thirty days,
or not less often than sixty days, and
that special committees look after new
dealers that may start in business, or
any dealer who indicates by his sell
ing prices that he has failed to realize
profits
R. R. Williams, editor of Iron Age
Of New York city, referred to the pros
porous condition Of Texas and con-
graduated the association on its splen.

him affectionately. Mrs. Lucius
Burch, daughter Of Colonel Cooper,
met her Gather and brother with a
cheerful smile and seating herself
between them ccnversed animatedly
with them. Young Cooper seemed in
splendid spirits. His father was very
quiet and shows the effects of his
confinement.
The defense has seventy-two pre-.
emptory challenges and the state
eighteen. Judge Hart ordered 500 men
summoned for jury service and says
he will order the next panel to con.
sist of 1000. There are 1000 quail
fled names in the jury wheel. Should
these be exhausted without selection
of a jury the case would not go to trial
at all.
1t became known in the morning
that the state had prepared a surprise
for the defense by having the body of
Carmack exhumed and an autopsy
held. After the murder, and the ex-
element attendant upon the crime
the state neglected to order a post
norton examination. 1t is essential
in the trial that the direction from
which the bullets came be deter
mined. The states theory is that
Carmack, with his hat raised to greet
lady, was shot from behind. The
defense asserts he fired the first shot
1t seems, however, that some time
between the date of the killing and the
present time, the state, secretly and
at night, exhumed the body of the
slain editor and caused a careful post
norton examination to be performed
The course of the bullets was thus
determined, and the state claims to
have proof that the bullet which kill
ed Carmack entered his neck from be.
hind. This, however, does not en-
tirely disprove the theory of the de-
tense. Even the defense does not
claim that Colonel Cooper fired shots,
but maintains that young Cooper. be-
lieving his fathers life in danger, fired
upon Carmack to protect his sire. It
Is not contended that young Cooper
stood any place but behind.

TAFT TALKS 70 STUDENTS
Pres dent Elects Addresses Both
Whites and Blacks.

Augusta, Ga, Jan. 21-What he con-
sidercd an entirely new point of attack
ON the solid south was made Tues
day by the president elect when he
put in a good word for the warmth
and ardor of northern men. who
know good thing ghen they see it"
in the charm and beauty Of southern
women. This lighter vein of Mr. Taft's
humor was given vent before what he
termed "a bouquet of bright and
charming faces the students of the
Tubman High School For Girls.
The charming appearance of the stu
dent body, he said, impressed itself
on him as an entirely new and convinc-
ing argument in favor of the separa-
ton of sexes for education. The speak.
er admitted his point of view had
changed somewhat on the question of
woman suffrage. When he ardently
advocated lhe doctrine in his gradu-
alton paper because of the admiration
he had for the in ~ustice of the girl
members of his class in Woodward
high school, Cincinnati. When the
trained and intelligent women of the
country wanted suffrage, he predicted
they would get it, just on the very
natural ground that they always get
what they wa1ts!
Matrimony, he said should not be
the only future to which a young
woman should look, and no unsatis-
factory acceptances should be made
of marriage proposals simply to avoid
being an old maid The great success
of many unmarried women of his &C.
quaintance justified this conclusion.
After the gathering, which was held
in celebration of the centenary of the
birth of Edgar Allan Poe. Mr.. Taft
at once went to the Hams Normal and
Industrial Institute For Negroes, where
he delivered an extensive address on
the benefit of Industrial education.
Expressing the most profound SYM
pathy for the struggling upward of the
negro race, Mr.. Taft remarked, evi.
IDENTIFY having in mind the recent utter
ances of Senator Tillman:
Il don't think it inappropriate to
refer to some of the expressions that
fall from the lips of men prominent in
political life that are utterly lacking
in any sympathy of that kind that are
cruel and abrupt in their meaning II
they are to be given the meaning that
the words naturally bear. refer to
those gentlemen who deem it necess-
airy to affirm that, in the interest
Of this country, the negro race should
have no education. Now, l am glad
to know and believe that those men,
in their hearts, don't believe that. 1t
comes rather from a desire to say
something that shall have sensa.
tiona1 effect than it does from real
spirit, was going to say. of cruelty
towards a race that deserves from
those of Us who are white, all the aid,
all the assistance and all the sympathy
we can give them. l know that you
know that those expressions don't rep.
resent the feeling of the great body
of intelligent white men in the south. p"
Mr. Taft at once disclaimed mean.
ing that education was everything.
That great body of the nation, he said.
from necessity, earned their liveli.
hood by the sweat of their faces. They
needed primary and industrial train
ing. Work brought good digestion, and
this was no small matter. as he could
testify from many banquets.
