Johann Christopher Friedrich Schil-
Ter was little short of deified by his

Wells, he had brought her oranges in.
to which poison in liquid form had
been injected. He also gave her poi
son in small tin box and told her
that she must either commit suicide
or feign insanity, or she would be put
to death in the electric chair and her
body would be burned. This poison
was found on her a few days later,
when she was searched by Jail atten-
dants Wells had told her, she said,
that his neighbors suspected that he
had poisoned the children and that
she could save him by ending her own
life.
Nirs. Wells promised her husband

on her she pretended to be insane.
She cut her hair, tore her clothing,
destroyed some books that had been
given her and then seated herself on
the cell floor with the ruined books
and clothing piled about her. The
trial of Mrs. Wells is to follow that of
the husband.
During her cross-examination
which had not been completed when
the court took recess until morning,
Mrs. Wells admitted that sometimes
she had Authorizations. The question

mony materially. She had no doubt

she said she did love him and that
he had always provided for her as

democratic party as the answer to its
platform pledge TO reduce the tariff
downward was passed by the House
late today The vote was PSI to 1873,
five democrats voting against the bill,
and two republicans voting for it.
Four progressives supported the meas

his satisfaction in the arrival OF the
day he long had sought. exuberant
tic donk over the heads OF their
colleagues in The rear of the chamber
With the hi J. after a months con-
sideration, en- its way to the Senate,
there was a rash OF representatives
for their homes tonight. In the House
adjournment win be taken three days
at time beginning next week until
June l. In the meantime. the Senate
finance committee will study the bill
while the House ways and means COM
mittee will organize committees pre-
paratory to the transaction of further
business next month.
Republicans and progressives, led
respectively by Representatives Mann
and Murdoch, protested to the last
against the measure. the lowest tariff
bill ever written and proclaiming the
virtues of differing tariff commission
plans.
Republicans, who voted for the bill,
were Carey and Stafford of Wiscon-
sin. Democrats, who opposed 1t, were
Broussard, Dupre, Lazaro and Nor
gan of louisiana, on account of the
schedule reducing sugar to the free list
in three years, and c. B. Smith of New
York. Progressiyes who voted for the
bill, were Kelly and Reply of Pennsyl-
vania. Nolan of California, and Bry-
an of Washington. Kent of Califor-
mia, formerly a republican, but now
an Independent progressive, also vot-
ed for the bill. Progressive Leader
Murdoch and IL of his progressive
followers voted with the minority
Representative Copley a progressive
did not vote, he answered present 70
his name.
In the final consideration of the
measure, Minority Leader Mann made
a lengthy speech on a point of order
by Mr.. Underwood to rule out provis-
ion for a tariff board in the motion
by Representative Payne of New
York, to recommit the bill Speaker
Clark sustained the point of order
Mr.. Mann appealed from the decision
of the chair and roll call was taken
on Mr.. Underwood's motion to table
the appeal, the democrats winning, "a

lions to provide for a non-partisan
tariff commission, but he failed to get
roll call and then the Payne mo-
ton to recommit. minus the tariff
board provision was lost, 1913 to 296.
Tomorrow. the tariff fight shifts
from the House to the Senate where
the democratic party's slim majority
of six already has been reduced, as
far as this bill is concerned, to four.
There is now little prospect of a final
vote on the bill before August l.

REVENGE AFTER Is YEARS
Democrats Move to Gust Negro Col.
Iector of Beaufort, S. c.

Iector of Beaufort, S. c.
Washington, May S.-After sixteen
years of waiting. Democratic Sena-
tors, particularly those of South Car
DINA, carried out their purpose today
to have revenge on Richard Smalls,
the negro Collector of the Port of
Beaufort. BY party vote the nomi-
nation of his successor, S. p. Colcock.
appointed by President Wilson, was
ordered favorably reported from the
Finance Committee.
In any circumstances Smalls term
of Office would have come to an end
within few weeks because of the re-
organization of the customs service,
by which the Collectorshp of the Port
of Beaufort will be abolished. For
this reason Republican members of
the committee suggested that it was
hardly worth while to appoint a col
lector, but the Democrats insisted up
on bringing Small's term to an end
peremptorily, even if he had only
three weeks to serve.
