lean Product.

Washington, Sept. 20.-A settlement
Of the differences between the SEN
ate and the house over the proposed
duties on wheat and -four has been
reached by the Democratic members
OF the tariff conference committee.
The nature Of the agreement was not
made public, but it is understood
that the house members finally &C
eepted the senate amendment almost
without change.
Under this provision, both wheat
and -four would go on the free list
and q duty of 10 cents a bushel
would be assessed against wheat i'm.
ported from a country levying a duty
on American wheat and a duty Of
IS cents barrel against flour i'm.
ported under like conditions. The
house had put a straight duty of 10
cents bushel on wheat and had free
listed flour, with countervailing duty.
Of 10 per cent ad valorem.
The agreement established pre-
cedent which, it is understood, will
be followed by other cases in impos-
ing countervailing duties. It is ex-
pected that the conference will APP
prove countervailing duties of 10 per
cent on potatoes, which both houses
have put on the free list and that
the countervailing duty on pulp wood
put on by the house and later stricken
out by the senate may be adopted.

the meat inspection provision as ap-
piled to free meat from abroad. and
the section will be written SO that
the rigid provisions of the American
inspection laws will be applied In
some of the more important features
to imported meats.
A night session of the conference
was held for the first time, owing
to the slow progress made on the bill.
The decision of the conferees to
drop the senate amendments propos-
ing tax of $1.10 gallon on all fruit
brandies used to fortify sweet wines
was vigorously attacked in the senate
yesterday by Senator Pomerene. He
declared that if the provision was
dropped he would make fight on the
floor of the senate against the ap

agreement reached several days ago.

DELvE INTO PAST OF PRIEST
POLICE or THE OPINION SLAYER
PLANNED OTHER MURDERS.
Suspicious Photographs Of Death Ger
tificates Found Among Posses
sjons Of Hans Schmidt.

New York, Sept. 22.-Detectives
Aelving further into the past of Hans
Schmidt. the priest who murdered
Anna Aumuller, sought to fathom
what was in his mind last April wher
he photographed the death certificate
of Robert Smith, one of his parish
toner's.
Photographs of this certificate and
Of blank forms issued by the Board
Of Health were found in Schmidt's
trunk The find led the police to be,
lieve that the priest either was max
ing preparations then to dispose OF
the Aumuller girl or planned other
murders. They questioned him about
this certificate, but his answers gave
them little information. The priest
has evinced tendency lately to an
swer all questions with the declara
ton that he was directed in his acts
"by God and Abraham"
To the belief that Schmidt planned
other murders, the police are more
inclined than to the opinion that he
was laying plans last April to be rid
of the Aumuller girl.
They say that skilled forger like
the prisoner would have been able tc
have the bodies of victims buried in
any cemetery by filling out counter
felt burial blanks and forging the sig.
natures. They believe that Schmidt
caused the blanks to be photographed
in order to obtain exact copies sc
that he might have duplicates struck
off in blank.
Inspector Faurot announced that he
was looking for another woman ir
the case. He gave no details of what
her connection with the matter might
be. The only other woman whose
name has been thus far associated
with Schmidt's is known as Heller
Green from letter found in Schmidt's
trunk in which she said she could
not live without him. Her name was
not signed to the letter. but the ad
dress and telephone number led the
police to an apartment house where
a woman by that name had lived un.
til about a month previously. There
1t was said that she had gone to
Chicago and that several letters had
been forwarded to her, none of which
had come back.
The finding of the photographed
blanks in Schmidt's trunk caused the
detectives to dig deeper into the past
