How Many Votes Were Secured fos
 Payne Bi11. s Washington. April s.--(Specfal )-- By using a club on some. making con cassions to many others and promises of desirable committee places for many more. the Republican managers in the House passed the Payne tarin bpl by . Substantial majority.
 It also went through on the whole as the Republican members of the Ways and Means Committee desired, though they had many joits before they could retain certain features that were highly obiectionabie to q considerable percentage of their own party associ- ates.
 Owing to help given at the right moment by many members who go into the Democratic caucus regularly, the Republican managers were able to save several important schedules which were repulsive to men on their own side of the House and who tried in vain to have them changed.
 Tn the vote on lumber taken tonight two of the Alabama delegation record ed themselves in favor of retaining the duties as reported by the Ways and Means Committee. They were Messrs. Taylor and Hobson.
 Representatives Clayton and Burnett voted against the proposition, having changed from the. position taken by them several days ago. when vote was taken by tellers.

 MT. Crawford had been i'll for some time. one of the symptoms of his af- lection being fevers. which tended greatly to weaken him.
 Professor Enrico Di Rienzi. director of the American clinic of the Untver- sity of Naples. was called into consult alton &t the villa Crawford some ter days ago. and found serious bronchial and pieuritic complications. His ill., ness had it's origin In an attack of in fiuenza. Death came peacefully while his entire family were at the bedside. Mir. Crawford's eldest son had arrfv- ed hastily from London. Until this af- ternoon the patient retained conscious ness. but apparently he knew that the end was near and with calmpess he encouraged hts family to bear up and to cease weeping.
 The noveiist's last words were.
 'T enter sereneiy into eternity." Last night. when referring to the approaching Good Friday, he said: T die with Christ"
 Mir. Crawford's daughters. at his res quest, then read to him Plato's dia- logues, the novelist declaring they taught him serenity in death Everywhere tonight in the village of Sant Agneiio. where the villa Craw- ford stands. next the old Capuchin monastery and amid orange groves. zoo feet above the sea. there is profound mourning. The fisherihen and peas ants. among whom the author was most popular on hearing the news that he was dead, wended their way to the villa to express in silence their sor- row.
 All the shops In the village were im- mediateiy closed. the door of each bearing card on which was written Closed for public mourning"
 The Mayor and the Aldermen also went to the villa to present their con- doiences. and q detachment of The city guards was placed on duty at the gates in honor of the dead. ssg The bodu of kise Author rests tQ3 night on the he& tn aich he died ssir- rounded by flowers. ,s 2 !. ls. The municipality desires to give MT. Crawford public funeral, but 1t Is believed it was hts wish to have no pomp or rostenta6ion shown him. and the funeral arrangements will be held in allowance until tomorrow. when the authors will will be opened. This. 1t is believed. contains all instructions as to the funeral and regarding the spot which will be his last resting place.
 Mir. Crawford had taken no nourish- ment for three days and to this fact. the doctors attribute his collapse from exhaustion last night.
 The news of his death has been cabled to former Preisdent Roosevelt. at Port Said. Mir. Roosevelt and Mir. Crawford were intimate friends. and when the former was in Naples Mon- day, he inquired as to the condition of the author.
 Signor Nathan. the Mayor of Rome, teIegraphed as follows to Mrs. Craws ford:
 sAccepf my depest sympathy. both personally and as Mayor of Rome. whose name and the character of her people, Marion Crawford's magic pen carried throughout the world"

WILL EXPEL CASTRO
FRENCH GOVERNMENT TO. PUT DE-
 CIsION INTO EFFECT.
rf the Program is Carrsed Ont, Castrs WIFI be Enroufe to Europe T0day-Washingfen
 GrmtiaeA.

Washington April 9.--The French Government has informed the State De- partment of its, determination to put into effect immediately the decision am former President Castro of Venezuela from Fort DeFranee, Martinique. and compel him to return to Europe.
 The program is to put him aboard the first vessel touching at Fort De- France. If this program is carried out Castro win be on his way to Europe in a day or two, unless his physical condition is such that an ocean trip at this time would put his life in jeopardy. The first steamer scheduled to touch at the Martinique port. bound for Europe. is the French line ship Versailles. due there tomorrow
 The State Department officials are much gratified at the manner in which the French Government has acted in the matter. and feel relieved that Cas- tro is to be sent back to Europe. where ia will have mo immediate influence in the affairs of Venezuela in which coun- try his personal following is believed considerable and might unsettle the peaceable condition of affairs which now pertains there. France, the offi- ciais say. has realized the possibilities in the case, and has met the wishes of the United States in keeping the for naer President away from the locality where his presence Is undesirable.
 Some of the prominent officers of the Government are disposed to look on Castro's reported serious setback with suspicion, taking the ground that it may be clever ruse designed by him to make it appear that the return to Europe Is necessary to obtain surgical aid. when in fact the real purpose is "to save his face." He realizes, they say. that conditions for him on this side of the Atlantic are against him. and that the best course for him to pursue Is to go back and abide his time. hoping for 4 better opportunity later.
