PUBLIC OPINION AGAINST MINISTER
Despite Charges Against Azef He is Held
 in High Favor by Russians.
Special from United Press.)

tCpeCIdl IEOIH C1lLSo IISSS.J
 St. Petersburg, Feb. 4.-Public opin- ion to-day is turning in favor of Flu gene Azef and against Minister Lopu- khin. Despite Lopukhin's charges that AZef engineered many of the assassin ations in Russia and served the royal iSts more than the government he seems to be held in high favor.
 It is known positively that Azef en- gineered many plots against high off, cials several of them being aimed at the CZar himself and he is believed to have amply repaid the government for his retention in the dangerous offices. A high police authority declared to-day that the police department did not be- ieve Azef an assa ssin while he was serving the government. The govern ment knew he was a doubtful charac- ter but it was forced to employ such men to combat the desperate work of the Terrorists.
 The fact that he was not always able to defeat the plots of the Terror ists without revealing his connection with the government is not considered proof that he was directly involved in these plots.
 Lopukin's betrayal of Azef is now considered to have lost the government the most valuable agent it had in com- batting the Terrorists and the former director is looked upon as the arch traitor more than Azef. The police de- ny the reports that Azef has been cap tured. The denials are probably true as the police would welcome his ar rest as the only means of substantial ing the departments denial that it is implicated in the crimes attributed to Azef

MAY BE BITTER
 TARIFF FIGHT
IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES IN HOUSE COMMITTEE ON
 WAYS AND MEANS

Washington, Feb. 4. Differences have developed among the Republican members of the committee on Ways and Means that may result in a bitter fight over the tariff bill when it is presented in the House at the special session to be called in March. The stand pat element among the Repub- licans on the committee is in the mil nority. Representative Payne of New York and Representative John Da.lzell of Pennsylvania are no longer stand ing shoulder to shoulder on the tariff. Here is the way the committee is lin ing up at present:
 Standpatters - DalZell of Pennsyl- vania, Bonynge of Colorado, Needham of California, Fordney of Michigan and Calderhead of Kansas.
 For a. revision downward, or at least a more liberal policy in that direction than those named above are inclined to agree to, the following are standing together: Payne of New York, Mccall of Massachusetts, Hill of Connecticut. Ohio.
 Representatives Crumpacker of In- diana and Gaines of West Virginia have not identified themselves in their conclusions with either school of thought. They are voting on the mer- it's of each proposition as it is pre- sented.
 Some of the differences are said to be irreconcilable and will have to be settled in a contest in the House.

 Sparrows for a Pie.
 At the Danbury railway station, Sat- urday. a man armed with a shot gun would wait until a bunch of sparroWs became settled in one spot and then he would blaze away.

To a reporter the man said he was gath ering enough birds to make pie ana that sparrows were just as good to eat as rice birds. Asked if he was aware that there was city ordinance which prevented hunting in the city limits or the discharge of firearms, he said the birds were on railroad prop erty and he had received permission to kill them.

PERSIA CANNOT BORROW MONEY.
 Special from United PressA

Vienna, Feb. 1.-The borrowing pow CT of Persia has been completely null lifted by the action of the rebel head quarters at Tabriz and Ispahan in mo- tifying the diplomatic corps at Tehe- ran that the constitutionalists will not recognize any loan made to the Shah and until the Persian parliament ap- proves the rebellion
 The ultimate success of the revolu- ton IS deemed so certain that it is im- probable that any power would lend Persia money except in accordance with the terms of the revolutionists. Any other loan would undoubtedly be repudiated by the revolutionists in the event of their success
