 The chancellor sought to explain that Germany had attained the ob- ject which she had in view when the gunboat Panther was sent to Agadir, that the Franco-Germany treaty ter minated French hostility and that Ger many had concluded the prolonged ne- gotiations with honor and vantage.
 The response of the house was a broadside from the leaders of conserva- tive, clericals, liberals and socialists who attacked the Moroccan-Congo agreement as humiliating and approved the action of the secretary of state for the colonies, pr.

Reprieves Negro Woman

Sewanee Tenn, November 10-President Taft today granted 90 days reprieve to Mrs. Matte E. Lomax, colored woman of Washington, sentenced to suffer the death penalty for murder of her husband. If the sentence had been carried out she would have been the first woman to suf- fer capital punishment in the District of Columbia since the execution of Mrs. Sur ratt for complicity in Lincolns assassin ation.
 The Presidents action today gives the negiess a stay until next February, and in the interim consideration will be given to a prospective application for executive clemency. This is the second reprieve the woman has had.
 President Taft came to Sewanee today on invitation extended by his former sec retary of war. Jacob M. Dickinson, and his military aide, Archibald Butt, both of whom acquired some of their early learning here.
 In his address at the University of the South today, President Taft carried her campaign in behal fof the proposed arbi- tration treaties to the students.
 Before speaking of the treaties the President discussed the Panama canal. He praised Colonel Gorgas, an alumnus of the University of Alabama, who is now at the head of the sanitary work in the canal zone. Without Colonel Cor gas the President said the great canal could hardly have been completed
 A cold mist enveloped the mountains when the President arrived in Sewanee. He was driven over muddy roads from the station to the chapel in an open au- tomobile with his brother, Charles P. Taft. Henry Hiles and Major Butt, the Presidents aide rode in an old time livery hack. Major Butt is an alumnus of the University of the South and the hack was frequently halted that the Presidents aide might give a cordial handshake to old friends in Sewanee.

The coroner announced he would ask the states attorney to request an in- dictment charging Mrs. Vermilya with having criminal knowledge of the causes of death of Brinkamp and Smith.
 Coroner Hoffman said he was dis posed to open still more graves of those whose deaths had occurred be- heath Mrs. Vermilya's roof. There were at least three others whose deaths were, he said, recent enough for poison to be apparent if they had so died. Whether he would go into these cases, he said, depended upon the advices of state s attorney.
 Mrs. Vermilya was near death during the day. She iss suffering of valvular heart disease and was not told of the latest development in her case.
