COURTS ID SETTLE
 TARIFF QUESTION Free Admission of Wood Pulp too Much for the
 Administration

Washington, January 2.-The interna- tional tariff controversy over the question of admitting wood pulp and paper into the United States free of duty from all coun- tries having treaties with this nation guaranteeing most favored nation treat ment was passed on to the courts today by the administration for settlement. The procedure will be expedited and it is ex- 70 tflat tho llsalter shortls Awili reae1 the United States court of custom ap- peals.
 The dispute revolves about section two of the late Canadian reciprocity agree ment--the only operative part of that pro- posed pact--which grants free entry to Canadian wood pulp. print paper and pa per board made from wood cut on ''un- restricted" lands or lands where no limi- tations are imposed upon the exportation of the wood or its products. Importers of these commodities from Russia. Ger many, Denmark. Norway. Sweden, Aus tria, Neww Foundland and Finland, have claimed free entry under most favored nation" treatment Most of these coun- tries also have taken up the question dip- lomatically with this government.
 Pending a settlement, of the dispute the treasury department assessed the duty on the importations and held the protests of the importers in abeyance. To get the question before the courts the depart ment today decided formally to deny the rights of free entry to any importatiors except those coming from Canada. The importers can appeal to the board of gen. eral appraisers at New York and from there the question can be carried on to the customs court.
 Tt has been decided,". the treasury de- partment today officially announced, that inasmuch as the questions pre- sented contain many elements of doubt, as to the proper interpretation and inter relation of treaties and statutes involved the right of free entry will be denied. The department has issued instructions to tine appropriate officers to have them CO., operate with the importers in bringing the cases forward for speedy hearing and de- termination"
 The treasury department 1t is under stood. was inclined to grant the appeal of the importers for free entry but the President was unwilling to place the pa per industry on the free list when there was doubt In this respect as to the intent of Congress in enacting the Canadian agreement.

TAFT MAY LOSE TIE
 REORGANIZATION
Theodore Roosevelt Is the Real Choice of the
 Republicans
BY WALTER HARPER

Washington January 2.-(Speclal)-- AS forecast in this correspondence some time ago, President Taft is to have hard sailing in landing a nomination. As also forecast, Theodore Roosevelt is to be the disturbing element.
 The truth of the Taft opposition broke through the crust today when the following semi-authentic statement came from the office of the LaF'ollette political organization: ''We started out to beat Taft, and we have done it. With Taft beaten and Roosevelt willing Rooseselt's nomination is Inevitable. We are satisfied"
 A writer who is on the inside of the republican progressive movement pub lished under his signature In the Times of this afternoon statement of the true aim of the progressives. LaFo- lette has had no hope of tho nomina- tion for himseluf, but has been simply blazing the way for Roosevelt His first object is the discrediting and tho defeat of MT. Taft. With Mir. Roosevelt as President, LaFollette hopes to be the leader in the Senate in the putting
 
 islation during the coming four years with his eyes firmly fixed on the presi- dental nomination in 1916. It is ad- mitted that the White House is greatly disturbed; the President will not dis cuss the political outlook Some of his closest friends find fault with him because he really seems pained," as one of them puts H. when they open up the subject of his renomnation
 It is learned that efforts have been made to secure positive announce ment from Roosevelt that he will not accept the nomination.
 All efforts have been in vain. It Is generally accepted that Roosevelt is willing and anxious to receive the nom ination.
 A semi-officlal announcement from the headquarters of the republican pro gressives today is that a definite an nouncement will be made upon the re- turn of Senator LaBolette to Washing ton. It Is declared that if Roosevelt gets into the race and the lukewarm- ness toward Taft that many of the re- publican leaders throughout the south will desert the administration and climb upon the Roosevelt band wagon.
 Southern republicans, who came to Washington at the meeting of the ma tional committee in December. were as- tonished and very much impressed with the evident opposition to Taft. They will be quick to respond to any weak ness in the present leader and stam- pede to another leader, who appears stronger.
 President Taft's voluntary retire. ment from the race at an early date is not beyond the bounds of probability. There is but one thing that win keep him In the race to the end. That Is the fear that his retirement would be q fatal admission of the weakness of his party.

ADVENTURE

Paris. January 2.-General Messia, minister of war, has forbidden Captain Lux. who recently escaped from the fortress at Graetz in Prussia, where he was serving term of six years inn prisonment for spying out German military secrets. to accept d projected newspaper subscription designated as gift from the people of France. The French minister of war wishes the mat ter to be forgotten, as continued ref erence to 1t might inflame German opinion.
 Public opinion in France is elated over Captain Lux's audacity and in genuity.
 It is now established that his flight from the fortress prison was carefully planned by his brother officers in France. They forwarded to Captain Lux various works on the Life of Napoleon" These were heavily bound in leather and the covers concealed several thin but powerful steel files with which he eventually sawed his way through the prison bars to free dom Captain Lux was informed of the scheme for his release by means of invisible ink

Congress Will ReconDene
 To-day For Important Work

renew work with vigor for the purpose of raising economies in administration.
 Many other matters are to be con sidered. among the most important be- ing the appropriations, which the demo- crats have in their control for the first time in Is years. Gurtailment of many appropriations is looked for. Legisla- tion affecting the army and navy will also be considered.
 Representative Underwood, chairman of the ways and means committee, has expressed the hope that Congress can complete it's work In June, in time for the national conventions, but there are many who seriously doubt it when they contemplate all that is scheduled to be done and the delays that will be en- countered.
 The tariff programme probably will be considered in a caucus of the House democrats before many weeks. The wool bill has been postponed for a time until the full report of the tariff board can be digested. Meanwhile, the iron and steel, chemican and sugar schedules are to be considered by the committee. Food schedules will be taken up later.
 There Is little before the Senate now. the upper branch having to await initi- ative action by the House. The Sher-
 
 will come up for the Senate's considera- tion first, in all probability. The bill providing for direct election of United States senators, passed the House last summer, still is in conference. The conferees are to meet within few days. but husl far no agreement has been reached.
 Democrats of the House who contem- r 'iminating this year the ,o00 < - fiation for the Presidents trav- $ expenses. have had called to ; attention clause in the consti- sS of the United States which reads: ' President shall at stated intervals eive for his services compensation . iich shall neither be increased nor during the period for which Ie shall havesbeen elected" Opponents of the plan to cut the ap- propriation say this forms a stumbling block which cannot be overcome

Columbus. O., January 2.-The progress sive Democratic league of Ohio came into being here today at a conference of dem ocrats of nearly every county in the state. Although many of the conferees had en- tered the gathering with the avowed in- tention of declaring against the presi- dency of Gov. Judson Harmon, the execu- tives name was mentioned only indirectly and the organization satisfied itself with the adoption of resolutions urging the members to work against the choice of any delegate to either state or national convention who had not proved himself a tried and true democrat
 The name of William J. Bryan, heralded as "ablest to represent the progressive ideals In any party" was received with applause. and speakers made adherence to him the final test to a title to the pro- gressive democracy.
 The resolutions adopted follow:
 We. the representatives of the pioneer progressives in the democratic party in the state of Ohio, in conference, realizing the never ending conflict between the standpatters and the progressives is still on, and that certain selfish, sordid and mercenary agencies are active in their eff forts to thwart the purposes and hopes of the 6500,000 men who voted the democratic ticket every time the democratic national commmittee gave them a progressive plat form and leader. and recognizing the his torical fact that the largest vote ever cast for the democratic ticket was in the three times when heparty had platform and a candidate satisfactory to the progress sive democracy of the country, do hereby declare and adopt the following princi- pies:
 T. That there shall be no backward step taken by the democratic party either in the platform adopted or the leader named by the next democratic national convention.
 2 That to guarantee a progressive platform and progressive candidate, 1t is necessary that the rank and file of Ohio democrats take immediate steps to secure the election of 4S tried and true democrats as delegates to the coming national convention.

MRS. GODAU MAKES FIFTH CONFESSION Admits That She Had Help in Disposing of the
 Body

Mobile, January 2-Another confession, the fifth that she has made since her ar rest for the murder of her son-in-law, Frederick Wasserlaben, last Saturday came from the lips of Mrs. Mary T. Co., dau this afternoon. In the latest confess sion she admits shooting Wasserlaben while he was in bed with his eyes closed. and says that she was assisted in remov- ing. slae body frosa The slaousc to the pone where 1t was tjund floating next morn
 ing. by a negro boy to whom she gave T dollar. This confession was brought forth when she was shown the utter impossi- blity of her having made away with the body of n 200 pound man alone.
 Following the statement of Mrs. vir- ginia Wasserlaben, the murdered mans wife, that she would not believe the con fession of her mother unless she heard 1t from her own lips, mother and daughter were confronted at the Jail this after noon. Mrs. Godau againt told. the story of the murder. insisting that she alone was to blame. At the conclusion of the statement Mrs. Wasserlaben openly ex- pressed disbelief in the story of disposal ol the Dous' anu II was etp'cpuch' e' this that the assistance given Mrs. Godau by the negro was mentioned.
 A new development in connection with the story is the belief of the police tha. Wasserlaben was being systematically poisoned, some time previous to the mur- der, and the administration of poison was discontinued through fear. Although a robust man, apparently in the best of health, Wasserlaben was taken ill dur ing September, complaining of stomach trouble. lie went off duty September A. worked the two last days of the month, and was off owing to illness, throughout the entire month of October. returning to work early in November. On December IS Mrs. Wasserlaben paid up his dues in the Police Relief association and a week later called at the police station to secure the receipt. She particularly requested that no mention of the fact that she had paid the dues be made to Wasserlaben.
 While general belief exists that Mrs Gedaa murdered Joseph Gedaii Iii the faii of 1903, no investigation along that line is being undertaken, the grand jury at that time having refused to indict. Godau was found murdered d short dis tance in the rear of his home at Cottage Hill, this county, the circumstances being similar to the crime of last Saturday. Deputies who investigated the Godal murder say there Is little doubt but that he was killed while asleep on sofa, and by the hand of his wife. who with the aid of a negro man carried the body to the place where it was found.
