WILSON DISCUSSES TARIFF.
Was in Conference with Representative
Underwood Long Time.

Washington, d. c., April 2.-Presi-
dent Wilson and Representative Oscar
W. Underwood were in conference for
several hours at the White House last
night, for the second time. over features
of the proposed tariff revision. The con-
ference was asked for by President Will
son, who had been studying the new
tariff bill for several days.
Other conferences which are to fol-
low with Mr.. Underwood and Senator
Simmons. chairman of the Senate finance
committee, will settle the status of the
sugar, wool and agricultural schedules
so far as the party leaders can settle
them and viii decide whether one gen
eral bill, or separate schedule bills, shall
be passed by the House. The opponents
of free sugar, chiefly representing the
cane-growing sections of the South,
have made strong representations to
the president during the past week
against the removal of all duty from
that product.
Since his first conference with Mr..
Underwood, President Wilson had gone
over the tariff bill in some detail with
Secretary Redfield of the department of
commerce, for whose tariff views he has
high regard.

Brandon Man Admits Receipt But Says
Twas Voluntary.

Rutland, April Benjamin T. How
land of Brandon, who is on trial in Rut
land county court on the charge of ex
torting money from Mrs. James H
Wheldon of the same village through
threats that he would circulate stories
relative to her alleged intimacy with
him, faced the jury yesterday and ad.
mitted that he received 81 900 from the
woman, testifying that she gave it to
him of her own free will, it being hel
suggestion that she pay him to leave
town because she had heard that there
was talk current to the effect that he
had been calling to see her.
Mr.. Rowland occupied the witness
stand for long time I'M his own de-
fense. He identified letter and two
or more postal cards shown him and
read to the jury as messages received
from Mrs. Wheldon. He is carpen-
ter and had done work at the Whel-
don house. The messages in the cards
and letter requested him to call at the
house. He asserted that he had been
asked by the woman to call at the
house when her husband was not at
home According to his evidence Mrs.
Wheldon paid him 500 on June 3, 1912,
meeting him on the street in the even
ing by appointment. He went away
and, as agreed. returned July l and re-
ceived 5000. He did not leave after This
because he was i'll. He supposed that
friendly relations existed between the
Whedons and him until he heard Of the
proceedings at Law.
Mrs. Wheldon testified that she was
entrapped by Howland into a eompro-
missing situation and that he threatened
TO circulate false stories about her un-
less she paid him money. In despera-
tion she finally did pay him $1,000 ana
later told her husband about the situa-
tion. This was last December Mrs.
W'heldon told Of receiving threatening
letters from the respondent. She de
elared that all the stories circulated
were fabrications.
