Chicago, March 2S.-Frank L. Van derlip, President of the National City Bank of New York. broke all Amer ican records. according to statements made by the New York Central offi- cials today. in an effort to reach the bedside of his dying mother here. but he lost the race with death by exactly twenty-eight minutes.

Mrs. Charlotte l.. Van derlip had died at 2:30 o'clock. The strain of the past day-almost caused the big man to collapse.
 Shortly before midnight last night Mir Vanderlip received word from Chi cago that his mother was near death. He immediately ordered the New York Central to supply him with the fastest special train at It's command. The mo- tice was short, but the company had a train ready to leave New York at midnight. The train consisted of four
  which could be secured in that short time. The train crew were the only persons carried beside MT. Vanderlip, but 1t was necessary to add three ex- tra coaches to give the train the prop CT weight for maintaining such a high speed.
 Mir. Vanderlips train was given the right of way over everything on the line. The road officials expected to make the distance in eighteen hours. but such a performance as was accom- pllshed was beyond their widest dreams.
 Mir. vanderlip left the train at Eng lewood, which was the nearest station to his mothers home. The train con- tinued on to the central station and arrived there at a:o7. making the total time fifteen hours and seven minutes. z

TINKER WITH TARIFF
SITUATION IS NOT NEAR ITS sOLU-
 TION.
Members Hope to Choke On Debate in House by Thursday-The
 Senators Are
 Waiting.

Washington. March 2S.-The tarin situation in the House Is no nearer a solution tonight than since the opposi- tion to various schedules developed among the Republicans several days ago.
 Speaker Cannon conferred with Pres ident Taft at the White House tonight regarding the situation and the Ways and Means Committee was in session throughout the day. The Committee decided upon numerous amendments which 1t will offer to the bill.
 Representative Dwight. of New York. the Republican whip, has been instruct ed to have all the majority members present on Thursday. This Is taken to mean that a caucus will be held to adopt a plan with regard to the con sideration of the tarif bill for amend ment or that rule will be brought In to shut of further general debate.
 The committee gave some considera- tion to the paragraph on conee today. This and the paragraphs affecting crude petroleum. free hides. bituminous coal, lumber and iron ore, 1t is under stood will be opened for apendment by the proposed rule.
 The activities of Congress during the present week will be confined almost exclusively to the consideration of the tariff.
 The House will proceed with the con sideration of the Payne bill in general debate. and the hours of daily sittings will be extended, the sessions begin ming in the morning at 10 o'clock and ending at 10:30 at night.
 The Senate will not be in position to take up the bill until 1t Is passed by the House. but the Senate Committee on Finance will continue consideration of the various sch hedules.
 In the meantime the Senate will at- tempt no regular business, beyond the introduction of bills.
 Opinions differ as to how long the discussion of the tariff bill by the House may continue. but the greatest latitudinaries do not extend the time beyond the present week, and most members predict that the end will Be reached by Wednesday. Eighty i've members have made known their de- sire to speak under the present order. Among those who wlll be heard this week are Representa- lives Randell (Tex.). Griggs (Ga.), Ollie James (Ky), and Burleson and Gillespie (Tex)
 The Senate, after the introduction of a number of bills tomorrow will ad- 1ourn until Thursday.

 While the woman spent the greater part of the day reading. the man in dulged himself in the luxury of read ing and smoking. Last evening, he gave the sheriff money with which to purchase a quantity of tobies, and these were dealt out to him at break fast. dinner and supper.
 The brilliant woman never lost her nerves. She had lost her appetite, but today was well on the way to recovery. appetite. This evening. however, he was in good condition, and talked of making a fight for his liberty.
 McDermott. the retired fireman Of Chicago, did not come here today for the purpose of seeing the woman he alleges answers the description of his missing daughter. Anna. It Is likely arrangements will becompleted tomor- row morning for the hearing.
 The woman Is indifferent 10 the pro- ceedings. protesting her absolute inno- cence and her conviction that she will be acquitted. Boyle Is rather nervous as to the hearing. and wishes 1t to be held here, rather than at sharon.
 It Is the opinion here that there are three more accomplices to be arrested. the report being that efforts have been begun to locate them in thls county. as well as in Ohio
 Former Judge Samuel H Miller prob ably will defend Boyle when his case comes to trial at the April session of court As yet his woman companion has secured no attorney.

No Sex in Crime .

New York. March 2S.-The execution of Mrs. Mary Farmer. who Is doomed to die in the electric chair at Auburn prison tomorrow, unless there is an unexpected respite. upsets the popular theory of the law that there Is no sex in crime-except in murder, the most important crime of all.
 The executions of women have been SO rare in this country in recent years that 1t has led to the popular belief that the theory regarding sex and crime doesn't apply to murder. In oth- CT words, the belief is that no jury nowadays will send woman to the gallows or the electric chair.
 The record of executions in which women have been the principals, tends to strengthen this belief. No woman has been executed in the United States since December 8, 1905, on which date Mrs Mary Rogers was hanged in the prison at Windsor. Vt. for the mnrdsr of her husband at Bennington, three years previously.
 Noted lawyers often have been heard to say that no matter how clear the

 "Tie 1t around his neck and slrtng him." commanded the deputy.
 His assistants obeyed. and soon the young Indian was dangling in the air. kicking franticaily and clawing at his rope-encorded neck. It was a struggle between Indian stoicism and his discre- tion. The deputies stood grimly by. without a sign of relenting.
 "Tell us where your father is or you'u hang there till you die," they called to him. No fooling about this." ~
 The Indian's/breath was coming in short gasps now. Still he struggled hard against the disgrace of yielding to the pale faces demands.
 But at last he despairingly whis- pered:

 Young Indian Confesses.
 When the moose was loosened he gave a complete list of names of In- dians who participated in the fight of the previous night and confessed that his father. instead of being in Washington. was at the head of the outlaw band, scattered among the hills of the former Creek nation.
 Those were your fathers tracks In the yard this morning?" asked Deputy Jones.
 Those were his tracks," said the Indian.
 The chiefs son then told his captors that Charles Coker. reputed a danger ous Indian outlaw, fired the shots which killed Baum and Odou1.
