STATE CLOSES IN THE G|NCLES CASE Accuser Of Girl Is Examined
 Very Briefly SURPRISE BY DEFENSE Attorney for Ella GingIes Declines To Question Miss Barrette, Who Is
 Excused, Much to the Sur
 prise of Everyone.

Chicago, July 14-The state closed it's expected the defense will rest by tomor- row noon and that the case will reach the jury by Friday.
 The last witness to appear aginst the young Irish lacemaker was Agnes May Barrette, proprietress of the lace store in the Wellington hotel, who has been pictured all through the trial as the chief nemesis of the Gingles girl and the origi- nator of all the weird plots against her. Assistant States Attorney Short spared Miss Barrette the recital of the acts which have been charged against her by the girl defendant.
 'I will simply ask,' said MT. Short. eff you eser attempted to sell this girl into white slavery; If you ever abused or assaulted her in the Wellington hotel, or had any knowledge of any of these things?"
 "No, sir," replied Miss Barrette. tears streaming down her face. "It is all a falsehood."
 Much to the surprise of the prosecutor and the spectators who had expected to see tnlS WOnldn put through lHe great est ordeal of her life, P. H. ODonnell, counsel for the defense, excused Miss Barrette without asking her any ques- tions -at
 The days testimony against the Gin gles girl was almost in the nature of an avalanche of accusations and im- peachments.i The state brought three witnesses from Canada, men of repute, who had known the defendant while she was resident there. Through these men it was brought into the record of the case that Ella, Gingles was not pure and innocent country girl. but that she knew well the ways of men and of the world.
 The testimony of a Canadian photo grapher fas in, downright contradiction of her testimony. In detail he told of how Miss Ginsles came to him. giving the name Of Miss Wilson," and had him take picture of her in a lace gown.
 In her direct testimony Miss Gingles natly denied that she had had this pie ture taken and declared that 1t was a reproduction taken in Ireland. The pie ture showed her in Q dress belonging to

her employers wife. Mrs. D. s. Thornton of Bellville, Ont
 Miss Glngles appeared nervous when she faced her former employer. She clasped and uncasped her hands while the un- welcome allegations concerning her earlier life were brought home to her. But she did not break down. She told the report CTS that all these things were lies.
 The sur-rebuttal of the defense brought out little of importance. Miss Irene Barlow, nurse at the Francis Willard hospital, testified that she had attended Ella Gingles; that she had examined the scars on Miss Gingles body week ago and that these were the scars of the wounds found on the young woman when she was taken to the hospital. Similar testimony was given by other attaches of the hospital.

SLAYER OF ELSIE
 SIGEL PROTECTED

Denver, July 14.-That Elsie Sgei took poison with suicidal intent in Leon Lings room in New York Is the statement made in the official court bulletin of Pekin, China, a copy of which has reached Denver. This statement Is made in a report to the Chinese government by its consul in New York who was ordered to investi- gate the murder of Elsie Sigel by Leon Ling. The bulletin was translated by Lee Wing, leader of the Chinese colony in Denver. According to Lee when this report went to Pekin, orders were issued by the head of the Chinese Ma sons, who acted with the consent of the government, that the fugitive Ling should be protected by all Chi nese all over the world. Chinese con suls in America were secretly commu- nicated with and until acknowledge ment Is made by the New York police auth critics that Leon Ling was not responsible for the death of Miss Sigel. he will be protected.

SENATORS,DENY
 REDUCING TARIFF

Washington, July 14.-Turning upon critics who have charged that they are revising the tariff upward, members of the Senate finance committee denied today that such is the case. A statement was prepared by the committees experts and given out tonight by Senator Shoot. Commenting upon statements made yes terday and today by Senator LaFollette that the Senate bill is 5.65 per cent above the Dingley law, based upon the impor- tations for 1907, Senator smoot said that it all depended on methods of computa- ton.
 Taking up the Dingley law from the year of It's passage, Senator Shoot said that ad valorem averages were as follows:
 In 1898 they were 4S.S0 and in 1899 they were 57.07. In that year the importations of luxuries were very large. In the suc- ceeding nine years from 1900 to 1908, in- elusive, the average ad valorems were 4s.24, 49.64 49.7s, 4S.03. 4s.7s, 45.24 A.1s. 42.55 and 42.s4 The low ad valorem aver age in 1907 is explained by the panic and the falling off in importations of luxuries.
 Senator Shoot, speaking for the com mittee, said that if schedules I'll" comprising wines and spirits. on which the Senate advanced the Dingley rates very materially, were eliminated the average ad valorem under the Senate bill would be 42.0S per cent. Including champagnes and other wines and spir- its, he declared, the average ad valorem would amount to only 43.44 per cent. which Is lower than all except the two last years under the Dingley law.
 It Is pointed out that by eliminating the increases made by the Senate on silks, laces. diamonds, automobiles and other articles. recognized purely as luxuries, the ad valorem average un- der the Senate bill would be less than 40.01 per cent. This Is less than any tariff bill in the last 20 years, except in 1898, when the Wilson bill was In operation. In that year the ad valorem average was declared to be Ss.95 per cent.
 The ad valorem average of the bill as passed " the Senate. on all ar ticles of necessity on the dutiable ana free lists, is given as 15.49 per cent. It is stated that practically all of the Senate increases were made on lux uries, and that the decreases are upon necessities.
