agreement on the numerous paragraphs
changing the rates on lead products,
which comprise practically all of the
paint schedules and numerous other
articles of manufacture.
The Senate conferees said that they
could not accept the House rates on
these items. They added that the
higher rates were adopted on the in
sistance of Republicans from the lead
producing states in the Rocky Moun-
tain section. Senator Aldrich told the
House conferees today that if it had
not been for the assistance rendered by
the senators from the territory named,
the committee would have been utter
ly unable to complete tariff bill.
On the other hand. Mr.. Payne point
ed out that the great agricultural in
terest had demanded cheaper paints
and said that he would be compelled
to insist upon the House provisions.
The conferees split up on this rock
and prolonged contest is anticipated.
The confcrces have agreed that any
rate which is agreed upon may be
taken up for further discussion at a

propose another rate in it's stead.
Th conference is proceeding upon the
general idea of keeping the rates
within the rates of the Dingley law
and of lowering them whenever possi-
BILE to do SO. This is the keynote OF
the conferecs. 49,
Nobody who went to the White
House today was left in any doubt as
to the Presidents confidence in the
ultimae enactment of the corporation
tax provision. 1t was said there with
evident authority that the President
has received assurances which give
him absolutely no concern as to the
adoption fthe tax in its amended
form by the conferees. 1t was intimat-
ed that last nights conference at the
White House had principally to do
with the matters in the tariff bill other
than the corporation tax. Coupled with
this announcement was the information
that Messrs. Aldrich and Payne sought
the conference with the President
rather than that Mr. Taft sent for the

Young Cuban, Tired Of Life,
Blows Out Brains.
Money Gone and Interest in
Love Affair Lost.
Juan BeIsinde, Of Wealthy Family
Shoots Himself at Hotel.

New York, July 15.-Suicide ended the
| gay career of a wealthy young Cuban
| today when Juan BeIsnde shot him
street. Nearly 200 seat checks from
! Cuban theatres, some memoranda and
q letter indicated that he had been in
| fatuated with an actress and had fol-
| lowed her from place to place in Cuba
and in this country He killed himself,
| it is believed, because his money had
| given out and his love affair had lost
| its interest.
Relsinde. who was 26 years old. had
been attending a school at Poughkeep-
sic. He returned to this country in
which tho actress was playing. Last
night he went to the Hotel America.
where he had formerly resided He re-
| turned to his rooms and this morning
| his landladv was awakened by a shot.
| Running to his bedroom she found
| Belsinde fully dressed lying on the
| floor, bullet wound in his right side
and a revolver lying nearby. He died
shortly after at Bellevue hospital.
| A letter dated July 2. found in his
room. was addressed Dear Louise y
| The letter said in part:
II am going away soon. 1 have had
! enough trouble with my people already,
| | am going back to Cuba to my moth
| cr who will forgive me for all my
| foolish acts
| II will he the same aristocratic
young gentleman I was when | left
Havana a year ago with the foolish
| purpose to follow an actress girl. Re-
member ] say / came here to New
York to see a friend and you have
tried to stop my friendship toward that
one. You tell me she does not love
me but is only after my money. That
is not so, for she is a good girl and
works. 1t is you that has been after
my money. l love her and will see her
| when | come back.
| Good bye.
| (Signed)
| JUAN"
The clerk at the Hotel America told
| the nolice that Belsinde's parents were
wealthy: that his father was mem
| Der of the firm of Belsinde Brothers,
| owners of extensive sugar plantations.
| Among the memoranda in the youths
room were notes showing that his ex-
| renses from June 10 to July had been
| $41S. A letter apparently written by
| his mother. said that no more money
would be sent him unless he returned
| to his school at Poughkeepsie. The
police said that they had learned that
| atout a week ago Belsinde cabled to
his parents for money but none had
| been forthcoming. No money was
| found among his effects.
! Louisa Won Oasten. the actress. with
whom the young Cuban was infatuat-
ed, called at the morgue this evening
and asked to see the body. She knelt
beside it, and bending over. kissed the
lips repeatedly, and cried:
"Oh, why did you do this? Why
| were you so foolish
Becoming hysterical. she was led
away
| She said that she had first met
young Balsinde in Cuba in 1908. She
did a Spanish dance and he fell in love
| with her and followed her to this
country.
Il saw him last night she said.
He asked me to marry him again, and
when ! refused. he remarked that if
he had the means at hand he would end
his life. Then he left me and l went
home"
