the adverse report.
The Finance Committee Republicans

though Senator Smoot has II prepared.
Not all of his Republican colleagues on
the committee are prepared to sanction
the measure.
The committee discussed the question
Of ending the session, but did not get
to anything definite. 1t is felt by every
body, with the exception of Senator
Hepburn. that the tariff bills should
be hurried to a vote and the session
wound up as quickly as possible. SEN
ators who feel this way professed to
be encouraged over the outlook for
early votes on tariff and quick passage
not prepared to predict adjournment be-
fore the conventions. The Lorimer case
still looms UP, and 1t looks as II any
efforts TO avoid a vote on this before
adjournment would be blocked.
On the whole, the outlook is decidedly
against any tariff legislation. AS a
matter of fact, It looks as II the two
Houses could not agree on anything

The Presidential political situation is
SO much mixed and has so stirred up
feeling and excitement that many of
the Senate Republicans are feeling
hopeless about trying to legislate.
They say that II Is impossible to get
anyone to take legislation seriously
before the Presidential campaign and
Congress might as we'll quit. This is a
potent reason why the Republican
members Of the Finace Committee are
showing 80 little interest in wool bill.

THIRTEENTH JUROR
CAUSES THE DELAY
Court Has Difficulty in Securing
Added Man for Darrow
Jury.

LOS ANGELES. May 23.-The un-
lucky thirteen was still In evidence in
Judge Hutton's courtroom today, when
examination of talesmen was resumed
In the trial OF Clarence Darrow, for
bribery.
The trouble began when. after having
secured jury Of twelve men with COM
parative ease, counsel and court de-
cided to throw in an extra Juror for
good measure. Thirteen venirsnen were
borrowed from another department or
the superior court. and so far as ex-
amined, they proved to be possessed OF
more fxed, stubborn opinions and
prejudices than all the men examined
for the regular panel.
District Attorney Fredericks, whose
opening statement to the jury IL ex-
pected to prove sensational In the
extreme, predicts that the trial will
last to the middle Of July. Assistant
District Attorney Ford believes a
verdict will be reached by June Is
Rogers and Darrow agree with Ford.

Will Protect Americans

The federal commander-in-chief Of the

today replied to the State Department s
message apprising him of the critical
condition of Americans and foreigners
at Velardena by stating that the rebels
were driven out of that town yesterday,
and adding that he would do all in his
power to protect foreigners at that
place.
Before the rout of the rebels foreign
ers were suffering from lack of food.
and were In dire need of protection.
No reports of military activity in the
north of the republic were received at
the State Department today, althoug i
the rebels are said to be burning bridges
and cutting communication in the neigh
borhood Of Torreon, especially to the
south of that place.
The threatened battle between gov
ernment troops and rebels near the bor-
der at Juarez Is expected within a few
days. according to adyices from con.
