TARIFF coNFEREEs DISPOSE
OF 400 AMENDMENTS
"Sundries," Near the Last Of the
Schedules, Reached.

Washington, July 1S.-By passing
over the cotton and woolen schedules
without taking up any of the amended
paragraphs and skipping the disputed
points connected with the rates on
lumber in the wood schedule, the tar
iff conferees were able today to dis
pose of about 400 amendments. This
number, however, includes subjects
that were settled tentatively on Mon
day and Saturday.
Many subjects, such as the house
drawback feature of the alcohol par
agraph. the rates on oilcloth, and the
various items under the head Of litho-
graphs, were submitted to sub-confer-
ees. The treasury experts who helped
the finance committee in it's consider
alton of the bill are assisting the con-
ferees in gathering information about
these subjects.
When the night session was begun,
the conferees had reached "sundries," f"
nearly the last of the schedules. So
many matters had been put over for
future sessions, however, that it is diff
ficult to tell just how much progress
has been made. The conferees are
making every effort to prevent the ad-
vance publication of decisions reached
by the conferees. regardless OF how un-
important are the questions decided.
The corridors around the conference
room in the senate Office building are
as about thickly peopled with repre-
sentatives of special interests. and lob
byists generally, as they were when
the bill was in house and senate COM
mittees.

TRIAL OF ELLA oINGLEs,
LAWYERS ALMOST FIGHT
Judge Jntsrfersd to Prevent BIoodshed
--Alibi for Miss Barrette.

Chicago, July .13.-Wrangling Of
lawyers and further testimony to i'm
peach Ella Gingles' story of alleged
torture in a bath room Of the Well
ington hotel on February 16, marked
the closing hours today of the states
case against the young Irish lacemaker
for larceny of lace from Miss Agnes
Barrette, her former employer.
An alibi was furnished for Miss Bar
rette, who is accused by Miss Gingles
of being the moving spirit in the plot
to lead her into white slavery and
helping to abuse and cut her in bath
room of the Wellington hotel.
Miss Mary Hale, proprietor of a hair
dressing parlor, told of meeting Miss
Barrette the evening of February 16
and OF attending the theater with her.
Later, she said, they went to Miss
Barrett's room and went to bed. All
this occurred during the time in which
Miss Gingles said she was undergoing
mistreatment at the hands of Miss
Barrette and her companions.
Detective Sergt. Charles McNulty
testified that he examined the hath
room and found the transom covered
with dust showing that no one had
crawled over it, as alleged by Miss
Gingles.
Attorney O'Donnell asked the wit
ness if he had ever seen the ouestioner
show anything more than a friendly
feeling for Miss Gingles. Mr.. Short
objected, saying that was a self-serv-
ing question.
In the debate that followed the law
yers nearly came to blows. and the
judge interfered.
