Reciprocity Tangle to
Be Cleared This Week

The present week is expected to see
considerable progress in clearing up
the tangled Senate situation as to
the tariff and reciprocity. Numerous
conferences will be held. and now that
the President is here he will talk
freely with Senators, regular and pro-
gressive, and also with some of the
Democrats.
The President will bend his energies
to getting the Republicans generally
TO consent to the program of letting
general revision go over until the reg
ular session. He will insist as strong
ly as ever that reciprocity pass un-
amended. He will point to the fact
that the report of the tariff board on
wool will be ready by December and
that then will be the time to disopse
of the wool schedule.
In his efforts, there is not the slight
est sign the President will be uccess-
full so far as the leading insurgents
are concerned. They are forming
their lines for a determined effort
to hitch general revision to the reci-
procity agreement and probably can
not be drawn aside from their plans.
1t is clear as the situation now
stands that the Root amendment will
be beaten tomorrow. Reciprocity will
eventually pass unamended. The
Democrats will unite with the Repub-
lican regulars in opposing amend
ment. and then will try to unite with
the Republican insurgents in seeking
to pass a wool bill and a free list bill
and probably bills revising other i'm
portant schedules Prolonged lighting
Is ahead.

Athlete and Vaudeville
Actress Perish in River

CINCINNATI, June 25.-While the
Ohio river excursion steamer Island
Queen, returning on the last trip from
Coney Island at midnight. was passing
the Ohio River Launch Club at the
mouth of the Little Miami, John B.
Nugent, clerk of the Hotel Emery, saw
two objects in the water. He thought
they look like a man and woman clasp
those of Albert J. Hartman, a noted
police. Night Chief Krumpe ordered
the launch club to make a thorough
search for the bodies.
Early today they were found to be
those Of Albert J. Hardtman, a noted
college athlete and young business man,
and Miss Martha Kees.
Miss KEGS was an exceptionally pretty
girl. She was twenty years old and had
been on the vaudeville stage for two
years as Bonnie Hampton. She ap-
peared with the vaudeville sketch team
of Harris, Robinson, and Hampton

GIRLS DEATHS DUE
TO CIGARETTE CAST
UPON OILED FLOOR
Bodies of Victims of Blaze
in Boathouse Are
Recovered.

NANTUCKET. Mass, June 25.-The
bodies OF Helen Wilson and Mildred
DeHaven. both Of New York, who per-
ished in the boathouse fire last night.
were recovered this morning, being 80
charred as to be distinguished from
each other only by the difference in
stature.
1t developed when the cooling ruins
made Investigation possible. that the
two girls had tried to make their escape
by opening a door and bolting through
without realizing that 1t led into a blind
closet from which exit was impossible.
BY the time they had turned and tried
to make their way across the boathouse
to the opposite side, where the other
guests were leaping into the water. the
flames had gained such headway as to
present a solid wall of fire which with
in minute ignited their clothing as
they huddled in far corner.
The only other fatality was Ulysse
Pahud. a butlers who, with Thomas
Kerr, Of New York, a guest, and Manuel
Ray. another butler. stood at the win
dows and aided In helping the guests
and employees to dive from the windows
into the ocean, where they were picked
up by boats that had been attracted by
the flames. These three remained until
everybody was out except the two girls
who were known to be in a location
which made rescue impossible. They
then jumped into the water, each man
badly burned. Pahud died at midnight
and the other butler is in a serious
condition today.
The fire started from a lighted cigar
ette tossed on the freshly oiled floor OF
the boathouse. No warning of danger
came, the cigarette 'smoldering until II
ignited the oil in one corner. The re-
suit was almost an explosion, the en-
tire floor becoming a mass of flames and
igniting the clothing Of nearly all the
women.
The boathouse where the party was in
progress was owned by William Barnes,
ir.. of New York. and is totally de-
stroyed.

TAFT BACK, READY
. To RENEW FIGHT TO
PASS RECIPROCITY
Hasn't Indicated Yet If He
Will Veto Tariff
EE Bills. ,.
STILL CONFIDENT OF
WINNING STRUGGLE
Tells Friends That He Has No
Fear of Canadian Treaty
/ Being Lost.

President Taft is back in Washing
ton to continue his fight against any
and all movements which will directly
or indirectly defeat his reciprocity pro-
gram. He reached this city at $3.50
o'clock last night from New England,
and will begin a series of conferences
with Congress leaders tomorrow In the
hope of getting an early ad faVoraple
vote on the Canadian agreement.
The President has told friends in his
party that he entertains no fear for the
fate of his one big policy, but he is
taking no chances. He has the prom
ises of practically enough votes In the
Senate TO put reciprocity through but
new situations are arising so rapidly IN
that body that he cannot foresee just
what might happen to influence votes
now friendly to the Canadian pact WITH
out amendment.
In his Providence speech the Execu-
tive declared that he was convinced tnat
the Senate would respond to the demand
of the people and pass the reciprocity
hin without embarrassing 1t with
amendments. He has reiterated that
belief in private conversations. yet ne
knows that the measure is far from
vote ana lHdl oOlAOAS
need not be surprising in the Senate.
Hasn't Shown Hand on Tariff.
So far as could be learned from friends
of the President in his New England
party, the Executive has given no inm-
cation whatever of what he would do II
the coalition of insurgents and Demo-
Gratis should tack the free list DILL or
the wool revisioHs bill or both onto re-
ciprocity as amendments. He would
hesitate a long time before sacrihcing
his reciprocity hill b va. veto, under
those circumstances, yet he has mace
IL plain more thah once that he wants
no tariff revisionl legislation until the
tariff board makes its report
However. the President is now back
in town and will be in touch with Sen
ate leaders early in the week. 1t is
safe to assume that he will not sWerVe
one degree from his previous course
which has been one of unrelenttng op-
position to all proposals that VIII nam
per reciprocity as II now stands.
The final leg of the Presidents New
England trip was without incident He
left Providence late Friday night
aboard the Mayflower, following the
Steamed under full speed for New
York. leaving its convoy, the revenue
cutter Senaca, far behind. The execu-
tive party reached the metropolis on
schedule time, however, and lett lot
washington at 3:3O o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
New England Friendly.
Taken all in all. the Presidents re-
ception in New England was more than
cordial. 1t was enthusiastic. At both
Fall River and at Providence, enor-
NOUS crowds surrounded him from the
minute he arrived until he sailed. The
Fall River speech was unimportant' but
ris reciprocity address in Providence was
wildly applauded. He evidently struck
q popular chord IN that city.
The President will leave Washington
again the end of this week when he ac-
companies his family to Beverly. He
will go from Beverly to Marion ana IN
dianapolis for the Fourth OF July.

of Mrs. William E. Field, at 1923 Park
road, being transformed into a yeritable
fairyland for the event. -
The children began their preparations
for the entertainment early yesterday.
Posts were set up at the corners of the
lawn and lanterns and banners strung
underneath the trees The front porch
of the house was made into a miniature
stage, and upon this a half dozen little
girls gave several dances and vocal

for this cause was given. The idea
originated with Miss Saxton, then a
thirteen-year-old girl. She asked her
elders about Camp Good VIII. She was
told how an area of several acres had
been secured in Rock Creek Park, how
tents had been erected and other accom-
modauons made, so that during the
summer tired mothers and fretful chill
dren from the poor sections of Wash
ington might go there for a week or
more Of healthfuI outdoor life. She
was told how SO would send a mother
and her babe for a fortnight, or 50 a
child for a week.
1t was but a few days afterward that
this little girl brought forth her plan
dren living in Park road, between six
teenth and Seventeenth streets, were to
be enlisted in the cause. Contributions
would be secured. tickets sold, and a
lawn party given. The money thus
raised would go to helping the poor
children of the city. It would be $50
little trouble, and do so much good"
The lawn fete was held, and II was a
success. The next year another was
given. and yesterday the third annual
event, for such it has become, was held
Each time a liberal sum has been turn
