Wounded IN Duel,
He'll Fight Again

PARIS, May IA sword duel aris-
ing out of a quarrel three years ago
was fought today between H. c..
Berger, son of Paris deputy, and
Georges Breittmayer, both noted
fencers. They met this morning on
the lawn of the Chateau d'Orly, about
seven miles to the south of Paris.
Berger received serious wound in
the right breast.
AS under the French law no duel
may be fought in secret, the combat
was witnessed by fifty welI-known
Parisians and large body of re-
porters.
Breittmayer afterward visited his
wounded opponent at his home with
the permission of the surgeons and a
reconciliation was effected
The duel had been delayed owing
to the marriage of Berger A short
time aga he quarreled with another
man and challenged him to fight, but
according to the French code of
honor, the duel could not be fought
until he had first crossed swords with
Breittmayer. The second duel will
take place as soon as Berger has re-
covered

DECLARES MILITANTS
DEFEATED SUFFRAGE BILL

LONDON, May THE defeat of
the womans suffrage bill in the
House of Commons last night is gem
orally attributed by the morning
newspapers to the women themselves
or the militant ones, whose wild, law
breaking tactics alienated the sym
pathies of suffrage supporters.
The Times says that the embar-
rassment that the militants have in
f1icted on the cause lay like dead
weight over the whole course of the
debate on the bill in the Commons.
There is not the slightest doubt
that the militants have defeated their
own Objects" the paper continues
"The change in the political barom-
eter cannot be mistaken. For some
years past bills for giving votes to
women have passed their second
reading with respectable majorities
They may not have been intended to
get any further, and we think there
has been good deal of hypocrisy
on the part of some members who
voted for their second reading. but
that success has now been reversed
The majority is not very large, but
in the circumstances it is decisive.
1t tells the militants as plainly as
anything can that they are on the
wrong road If they wish to get votes
for women

DEBATE ON TAX
ON INCOMES ENDS
House Immediately Takes Up
Administration Features of
the Tariff Measure.

WASHINGTON, May THE in
come tax section of the tariff bill has
retarted progress of the measure
in the House, but consideration Of
this feature was finally concluded to-
day
Following the income tax were the
administrative features of the bill
with several stumbling blocks in the
way, notabley the provision giving a
5 per cent. differential on imports in
Anaerican-owned vessels. Should these
features be reached before the night
session, the Democrats plan to bring
anout an agreement for vote before
adjournment, probably about mid
night
After the reading of the bill is con-
cluded under the flve-minute rule
there may be two motions to recon-
init. Minority Leader Mann will have
one motion which will include
amendments to the bill as whole.
Because of the chairs ruling yes
terday that the amendment providing
tarlH DOaTu is Hot Beihdhc " ,ie
bill, another fight on that feature
seems assured The Republicans plan
to introduce it again at the close of
the bills consideration and an appeal
will be taken from the chairs ruling
second time. The Progressives also
may have motion to recommit. II
possible, however, the bill will be
put upon it's passage before adjourn
ment for the day.

clan Simmons viewed the body he de-
clared It was case of suicide.
DIR. Simmons secuted the police
theory that the girl may have met
with foul play The police based
their theory on the fact that her
clothing was torn and disarranged.

less ordered to do SO by the prose-
cutor

Neighbors identified the girl as a
servant employed by Mrs. Frank L.

denly been attacked with a temporary
fit of insanity and had taken her life.
Ida left the house suddenly last
night after we had finished dinner =
said Mrs. Lawrence. .She had not
complained of being ill. and the only
thing unusual about her that ! no.
ticed was that she appeared to have
something important on her mind.
AT least she looked little wor-
ried but said nothing. 1t was not
unusual for her to leave the house
after her work was finished in the
evening. so l thought nothing of that

fore learned that her body was
found in the pond"
Suspect Foul Play
Several circumstances have led the
police to believe the girl may have
been a victim of foul play. One of
the slippers she wore was found on
a plank near the edge of the pond.

was also found nearby.

the neck and under the arms. Her

There will be no reopening of any

the Presidents suggestion or at his
request.
This is not mere speculation or pre-
diction; it is statement of fact
based on information.
The story that the President has
ordered the Department of Commerce
to investigate the pottery industry,
with view to agreeing to an in
crease in the pottery rates If the in
vestigation shows higher duties to be
needed for protection, Is simply not
true.

White House.
The pottery investigation to be
made by Secretary Redfiield is not a
tariff investigation at all, and will
probably not be concluded until after
the new tariff law is passed and in
effect
Congress last year authorized the
Department of Commerce to make
Investigations of industries, with a
view to disclosing labor capitalistic
and moral conditions prevailing in
them The pottery industry is to be
taken up first. That is all. The de-
cision to take it up first was in
fiuenced by the tariff protest Of the
potters.
Secretary Redfield does not believe
that there is any reason for the ap-
prehension of the potters concerning
the danger to their business in the
tariff reductions, and intends to
'.call the bluff of some manufac-
turers who have threatned to close
their factories if the bill passes. He
believes a preliminary investigation
will disclose facts as to costs and
profits in the business that will make

LONDON. May 7.--Just in time to
save st. PauIs Cathedral from ir-
reparable damage, bomb planted
near the altar by militant suffragists
was discovered and extinguished to-
day.
A second bomb was found in
Bouerie street, near the plant of
the Star. Liberal newspaper. and o
third was found in front Of the build
ing occupied by a firm of wholesale
chemists in the city.
The bomb from the cathedral was
examined at the Bridewell police sta
tion and later at the home office by
government experts.
The bomb was painted black and
contained two detonators attached to
an electric battery. 1t was filled with
slugs of hard black substance re-
sembling coal. There is no doubt,
the police say, that 1t was placed in
position by militant suffragettes or
persons in their employ.
General Public Is Admitted
The general public is admitted to
the choir and aisles of st. PauPs
Cathedral between II o'clock in the
morning and $3.50 in the afternoon.
The cathedral was closed entirely at
o'clock last evening, and it APP
pears certain that the bomb was de-
posted before that hour. 1t was

Several parts Of the Cathedral. US

closed today.
.'Small but fiendisfily powerful" is
the police officers description of the
bomb found near the high altar OF
st. Paulfs Cathedral this morning
When the machine was taken tc
pieces it was discovered that It was
timed to explode at midnight but a
arrangement of the clock-work re.
tarded the explosion. Apparently
only this accident prevented untold
damage to the cathedral.
