ing the committee to so inform the conference committee of the Senate.
 Before the appointed hour for the second conference, the minority of the Senate had forced an adjournment, so that no matter what action was taken by it's half of the conference commit tee, it could not be acted upon by the Senate As soon as the House heard of the Senate's adournment, it also adjourned, and left the matter of a special session or no appropriation for the maintenance of the state de- partments, hanging upon two little items and the persistency of few to prevent the majority of the Senate in expressing it's wishes as to who should be in the office of Governor.
 As the matter now stands, no mat ter whether the House concurs in the amendments or not, or if the Senate recedes, definite action cannot be talk en today. The House could not con- cur in the amendments and pass the bills, when it must lie on the table until the following day after such ac- ton. If the Senate was to recede, the bill might possibly be passed, but there is little ground for belief that the Senate will recede, on account of the determination of those who favor the amendments.

EXTRA SESSION

 Be Considered.
TARIFF MOST URGENT
Revision Will Not Be Such That Legi. tiHlate Business i i'll Be
 Disturitnd.

Washington, March 12.-President Wilson conferred today with Chair man Of the Ways and Means Commit tee, Underwood, on tariff and other matters of legislation. There things were decided:
 Extra tariff session to be called by Presd mt Wilson for April {.
 Necessity for tariff revision down. ward to be recommended by the presi- dent as the most urgent legislation with reference to needs of revision of the money laws and the early passage of legislation insuring Philippine legislation
 Special messages will be sent by the president in which his legislative views will be set before congress.
 A conservative revision as planned by Underwood and his committee was approved instead of a sweeping down. ward cut which would disturb le3iti- mate business unnecessarily.
 Neither the White House nor any member of the cabinet will interfere with the work of the Ways and Means committed
 Free trade members of the Ways and Means Committee will be given no comfort by President Wilson in their demands on Underwood for re- duction in tariff below the point the majority of the Ways and Means com- mittee may decide as necessary to produce the needed revenues for the government.
 Recent consultations between Pres ident Wilson and Underwood on dis puted important duties carried ill the bill will be held.
 Harmony between the majority of the Ways and Means committee and the president will be maintained.
 Mir. Underwood said afterwards that the tariff schedules would be be ready when the special session is called.

M'VAYS SENTENCE
 IS COMPUTED Third Jefferson County Man to Be Rescued From the
 GalloWs
HOPELESSLY INSANE
Will Be Placed in State Hospital fer \erN0ns Disease tshcn Taken
 to penitentiary.

Little Rock. March i2-Thc third white man ill whom Jefferson county is interested, ill the shadow of the gallows on conviction ot murder, has just been saved from death by the mercy of the governor.
 Governor Oldham tEis afternoon commuted to life Imprisonment the death sentence of John T. McVay, who had been convicted of the murder of J. w. Ethridge at Pine Bluff He was brought in from Pine Bluff by Sheriff Brewster and will be transferred to- day to the state insane asylum. The communication, as in the case of w. C. Alexander, who had beaa convicted of the murder of J. P. Kelley. is based upon the undisputed fact that he has become incurably insane since his conviction. Both of these men had been granted several rcSpites, and fi naly it was decided that the ends of justice would be better subserved by confining them for the rest of their natural lives in the asylum.
 The other man saved from the gal lows is w. S. Rhea, whose sentence was commuted to life Imprisonment His friends are confident that in a few years they will be able to secure his full pardon.
 Upon receiving notice of the actins governors action Sheriff Edgar BrewF ster immediately made arrangements | to take Me Y to Little Rock and turr him over to the authorities at the State Hospital for Nervous Diseases i As the proclamation announcing the communication of the sentence impos. ed on w. S. "Bud" "Rhea had also beer received Rhea was notified to ge1 ready to go to the penitentiary.
 If McVay knew of his escape from the gallows he gave no evidence of il and suffered himself to be made ready for the journey by his fellow prison CTS. Rhea assisted in making the preparation and helped to carry the condemned man down the steps of the jail.
 It was a curious scene. Two men both having escaped death for crimes charged to them, one getting ready tt go to the prison for life, unless fur ther executive clemency is exercised and the other to become an inmate of the institution for the insane.
 McVay is apparently in the samt condition he was at the time the las respite was granted. He has the sam' vacant stare and shows no interest il his surroundings. He was a patheti' figure as his emaciated form lay ol the ambulance cot Deputy Sheriff Clint c. Green and Clifton Brewste rode in the ambmulance with him bu he needed no guard as there appear only just enough physical life to keel the body and soul together.
 Rhea Is Happy.

He had a good word for everybody and as he left the county jail for the last time shook hands warmly with Frank N. Hall The two have become close friends. Hall is the young St. Louis man whoiS un- der indictment for forgery and ob- taining money under false pretenses.
 Rhea seemed to fully realize the value of freedom after he left the jail. He breathed deeply and upon arriving at the station expressed a desire to run around for a while like kid. They'd think l was crazy, too, l guess Sheriff Brewster and Jailer James Reidlinger for their good treatment of him and said he was determined to do the right thing.
 Upon being questioned as to wheth- CT there would be any further effort to obtain the governors interference by issuing a pardon Rhea would not talk
 Sheriff Brewster took his two pris- oners over the Cotton Belt, arriving in Argenta about 6:30 o'clock. He had arranged for vehicles and the men were immediately taken to their future homes.
 McVay Fought Hard Though he had by far much less in- cluence than w. s. Rhea, was not as we'll connected and with very little money, John McVay and his attorneys have resorted to every device known to the law to keep him from paying the death penalty for his crime. And the legal war between the state and son county more money than any other prisoner it ever had the pleas ure of taking care of.
 He has caused the county and state officials no end of trouble Sheriff
 Brewster has taken half dozen trips to Little Rock on business connected
 with the McVay case. Four different
 dates have been set for his execution,
 several hearings have been granted by governors to permit attorneys for the defense to. plead for the life of } their client and at each one of these hearings District Attorney T. Havis Nixon has gone to Little Rock to op- pose the exercise of executive elem ency. ,E. Expensive Prisoner. The trial of the one-legged man il the Jefferson circuit court was hart fought and long one. Then when Mo Way evidenced insanity several phy sicians were paid by the county tt examine him.

MADEROls ESCORT
 PERFORMED DUTY
Mexican Official Talks Significantly of Death of the Former
 President.

Mexico City. March 12.-A cabinet minister speaking to tine lnternatloh- al News Service correspondent Tn re- ference to the killing of Francisco Madero and Pino Suarez said:
 I believe Major Cardenas, Who commanded the escort that took Ma dero and Diaz to the penltentlary compiled absolutely with his duty Ill nreyenting the prisoners escape when the automobile was assaulted.
 .Then the minister added signlfl- cantly:
 "Whether Madero met his death at the hands of the attacking parties or from the escort, Major Cardenas com n,ied with a great duty. His respon- s;h;,itv was enormous and he acted accordingly. :.
 This statement which was unsoilclt- cd is the first intimation from oill- oia1 sources that Made,o and Suarez may have been killed by the escor' and not by the attacking party and' Il is believed, foreshadows an acKho" Judgement by Cardenas or his men, te ha made in the report of the ]udlcla' inquiry which is not yer flnishea'
 If this is true then plainly it was all execution under "ley fuega' and no' an accident during their filsht as heretofore claimed.
