oBDURATE JUDGE.

NEW YORK March 26 The
scarcity Of competent wireless opera
tors was emphasized in Hoboken, N
j., yesterday when authorities Of the
North German Lloyd line made fran
tic endeavors to obtain the release Of
Kort Schleder, operator on the
Steamer Frederick Wilhelm who was
arrested in Hoboken yesterday on .
charge Of exhibiting postal in the
streets. Jack Binns, the hero Of the
Republic disaster. was sent by the
Marconi Company to plead for Sch
leder, but the magistrate declined TO
Rne the offender and ordered that he
Be pcked up till the grand jury could
hear his case. A representative Of
the North German Lloyd said that
Schleder's detention probably would
mean that the Frederick Wilhelm
will sail unprotected by a wireless
operator but the court remained OBJ
durate.

WASHINGTON, D. c. March rs.
The voluntary admission by Vree-
land that he is to some extent respon-
sible for retaining in the Payne tar
if bill the counterveiling duty on oil
was the climax Of today's tariff dis
cussion in the House. Vreeland
had heard various insinuations that
the duty which some characterized as
a "joke" was to be levied solely in the
interest of the Standard Oil Com
pany. This he denied and explained
his action was in response to requests
from thousands Of oil producing men
in behalf of 100000 men engaged in
the same business. Numerous speech
es made by Democrats whose argu-
ments we're for tariff for revenue
only, while Republicans attacked such
schedules as those on wool, wood
pulp and print paper. The House
adjourned until tomorrow when, ac-
cording to a general understanding, a

left this city this morning for Bor-

Intention Of re.esiablishing his power
Ia Venezuela by a revolution, should
this be necessary After entering the
car where he donned the gilt en-
broidered skull.eap that has figured in
every description Of Castro wheA he
was an occupant Of the yellow house
at Caracas, the deposed President Of
Venezuela leaned from a window and
spoke to his eountrymen with an
earnestness and passion which left no
doubt in their minds that he was con-
vinced that he was another Napoleon
returning from Elba to reeonquer his
country
like Francis /, all is lost save
honor" ex-President Castro declared,
~ am going back to Venezuela, My
country needs me and my mission"
Castro declared that his trip to Eu-
rope had been misunderstood both at
home and abroad. He had cdne to
the continent not only because he
needed medical treatment, but also to
setve his country by interesting for
eign capital in Venezuelan industries.
He spoke bitterly Of the treachery Of
Juan Vineente Gomez, and predicted
that those now in control Of the state
would drive the country into bank
ruptcy.
In conclusion, Castro denounced as
lies the stories Of his wealth, and said
he was not even rich enough to re-
main in Europe, where, furthermore,
life had no attractions for him. His
impassioned nature, he explained
yearned for activity and forced him
again into the tumult As the train
pulled out Of the station, Castro's
parting words were
"I believe that God and destiny
calls me back to Venezuela, intend
to accomplish my mission there, even
though It involves revolution"

SOCIETY GAY WORLD TIRES
Enhales Gas and Dies on Floor Of
Bathroom-An Attempts to Revive
Her and Bring Her Back to Life
Fail.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. March rs.
Weary Of the gay whirl Of society
and face to face as she believed with
years Of physical suffering, Mrs.
Pierre Lorillard. Jr., aged 4o, wife Of
the tobacco magnate, committed sui
eide at her home in this city today.
Her tragic death shocked the social
circles Of the capital as has nothing
else in years.
A butler in the Lorillard residence
detected an odor Of gas this morning.
The smell Of gas was traced to Mrs.
LoFillard's apartments and on enter
ing the butler was horrihed on behold
ing the body of his mistress stretched
lifeless on the hoor Of her bathroom.
The alarm brought Lorillard from his
apartments. Servants were Dispatch
cd for a doctor while, Lorillard at
tempted to revive his wife. Two ply
sicians vainly used every scientific
method to restore life. Extreme re-
tieence is being maintained by the
Lorillard family and all others who
possess information concerning her
sudden death. All inquiries were met
with the response that Mrs. Lorillard
did not commit suicide but that she
had died of heart failure.
Mrs. Lorillard left letter which
the coroner has seen but which Mr.,
Lorillard declines to make public. It
is understood it contained no declara-
ton of the intention to commit sui
eide.
Mrs, Lornard was seemingly in the
best OF spirits last night Her bed
had the appearance Of not being occu-
pied, she had disrobed and when the
body was found it was clothed in a
dressing gown. Before her marriage
Mrs. Lorillard was Miss Caroline j.

Senate Committee Change
In Payne Bill on Lumber

DIMENSION LUMBER FREE

Better Grades - Gull Lumber to

WASHINGTON. d, c, March rs.
The members Of the Senate finance

cd with the fact that II remains

mittee Is much simplifed, The changes

to the committee on the subject Of

Il provides for free importation Of di.
msnsioncd lumber But the continuance
OF the duty on Gull from which lumber

From some Of the figures Il is assert
ed that the difference between the
cost Of producing dimensioned lum-
Der in Canada and the United States
not sufficient to make up for the dii-
ference in the freight rate from Can.
ada and American mills to American
markets, The deduction being that II
the duty Is removed the American
producer will not be injured, but at
the same time the duty on eulls
would compel the manufacture Of
these culIs into inferior lumber for
packing boxes instead Of permitting
Il to be burned as Is now the case at
most large American mills. The only
effect according to these arguments
Of adopting these schedules will be to
prevent waste In the United States
and aid to conservation Of forests,
While no agreement has been reach-
ed regarding the wool schedule the
general opinion seems to be in favor
of retaining the Dingley rates
