1t was really a delicate task to
assign to sporting editor.
You can saunter up to a base
ball manager in breezy, off,
handed way, address lowbrOy
vulgarian of a ball player with an
air of insouciant sangfroid, buy a
boxer a drink, or frown conde-
scendingly when speaking to an
umpire. But
One experiences distinct qualms
when attempting to interview Kit
ty Gordon.
For the fair Kitty is not only a
glittering luminary in things thea
trical. She is, If you please, in
private life Mrs. Honorable Cap
tain Henry Beresford-and he
travels right with her.
Over in ''Lunnon town" the
Beresfords move around in the
highest circles. They hobnob
with dukes and duchesses, peers
and peeresses, and even royalty
itself.
And here was a miserable low
brow sporting editor trying to
butt in and get an interview.
1t is simple task to see Kitty
at the Tacoma hotel. So is finding
hairs on mosquitoes back or
picking the winner of worlds se-
ries.
First you have to argue with
q manager. Then you cajole q
maid, and bribe two or three dog
en- footmen. After which you come
face to face with the Honorable
Captain.
He attempted to eypostulate
with the sporting editor this
morning. Mrs. Beresford was tired
and sleepy-long jumps, and all
that. But the s. e. was firm,
and he got the interview. IL it can
be termed such.
Many critics declare that the
fair Kitty is the most beautiful
actress in America. There is rea-
son for this critical enthusiasm,
too.
Kitty is very lovely and she
wore very lovely gown this
morning. In fact. wearing lovely
high-priced gowns, the cost Of
which makes one shudder, is one
of the best things Kitty does. A
dressmaker. could extol the beau
ties of the dress this morning. All
the sporting editor could do was
appreciate. Outside the manager
whispered that the dress cost
thousands. One should never
doubt the word of q manager.
The glittering golden goddess,
as the press-agent quotes, was not
in the best OF humors this MORN
ing. She was sleepy.
Do you think you'll like Taco
mar" the usual. inane query was
shot at her.
"Oh hunt" replied Kitty
smothering yawn.
What Is your opinion of the
suffragettes, and what do yot
think Of the Pankhurst princi
ples?" ratified on the 8. q.
Kitty internstedly stifled an
other yawn.
How do you like baseball?''

This is guaranteed to pickle the

TARIFF BILL
in DEFEAT
Poindexter of Washington Pre-
diets Amendments That
Will NulFify Measure

WASHINGTON, d. c., May Ill
feel sure the Democratic tariff plan
for free sugar and free wool will en-
tlrely fail. l believe the Underwood
bill eventually will be so amended as
to enable me to support it,
Senator Poindexter of Washington
takes this optimistic view of the situ.
alion, although the measure passed
the house by an overwhelming major
ity and has the strong backing of
President Wilson in being jammed
through the senate. The senator is
the only Bull Moose and ultra Pro-
gressive member of the upper branch
in congress. He favors downward re-
vision of the tariff but balks at free
sugar and free wool. He has been in
vestigating the situation and predicts
that both provisions will be elimin-
ated before the final adoption Of the
Underwood hill.
Many shrewd observers here believe
that Senator Williams of Mississippi
will antagonize his associates when
the pinch comes and refuse to support
free sugar. He has been for some
time violently opposed to such dras-
tic reduction. He thinks slash of
SO 1-3 per cent would be the maximum
of lowering the duty on sugar.
Senators Under Suspicion.
Other Democratic senators are un-
der suspicion. But two are required
to join Thornton and Ransdell until
the trick can be turned and the clause
providing free sugar three years
hence eliminated from the bill. 1t
Seems impossible to pin anybody
