graph and telephone companies here

been frequent that rather than have
the details of the charges printed in
newspapers and discussed throughout
the country, Mr.. Stillmun's attorneys
and those retained by his wife, would
get together and frame an agreement
to which both parties to the action
would subscribe.
The new report that these rumorcd
negotiations have been broken of, was
said to he based upon the fact that
Mr.. Mack, Guys guardian ad ltcm,
would still be free. in spite of any
agreement between husband and wife,
fend the name and reputation Of his
ward if he thought justice required it.
Such an action, it was pointed out,
probably would lay bare the asser-
tions made by Mr.. Stillman in support
of his divorce action, regardless of the
fact that he had dropped it.
Motion May Come Up Saturday
In support of tho rumor that ncgo
tations had been broken OF. it was
learned from an authoritative source
that the long postponed motion of Mrs
Stiliinans counsel for an increased al
lowance probably would come up be-
tore Justice Morschauscr in pough-
keepsie Saturday. John r. Brennan
one of Mrs. Stillman's attorneys, had
q conference with Justice Morschauser
Yesterday in his chambers concerning
the Stillman case, but declined to dis
cLss it with reporters.
'ls there any chance of the Stillmau
suit being settled? ?" Mr.. Brennan was
asked.
''You never can tell" he replied
smiling.
Justice Norschauser said that no mo-
tion had been made in the case before
HIM in chambers and that the secrecy
which had surrounded the case was at
an end SO far as he was concerned.
There will be no star chamber pro
cecdngs in connection with this suit
he said "If there are any arguments
they will be in the open, you can rest
assured"

Clara HanOn
w aives Final
Plea to Jury
CONTINUED from pass one)

eral impression was that the defense
either must feel reasonably certain OF
a favorable verdict or believe an argu-
ment would neither help nor injure
Clara lannon's standing in the eyes Of
the twelve men.
The charge to the jury was delivered
before tho state began its argument
as Is provided under the Oklahoma law
In it Judge Champion instructed that
a plea Of sclf-defcnse could be justi-
fed only by extreme danger threaten
ing the defendant. He said
"The defendant claims az justiflca-
tion that she acted in self-dcfense of
her person. 1t is the right Of every
person to act in defense of her own
person, where she is assailed in such a
way to make it reasonably appear that
her life at the time is in imminent
danger, or that she is in imminent
danger Of serious personal injury"
Clara had testified yesterday that
hand as he struck her with a chair.
The court pointed out that if the jury
brought in a verdict of guilty of muir
der. its duty would be to specify
whether the penalty should be death
or life Imprisonment.

Committee Republicans recently voted
to recommend TO the President that tar
iff be given precedence. and Mr. Har-
dlng's delay In acting on the recommen-
dation gave additional credence to re-
ports that he believes revenue revision
Is ofSnore pressing Importance and that
II Is unwise TO attempt permanent re-
vision OF the tariff M a time when
world trade conditions are changing
daily. These reports caused the West
ern Republican members Of the Ways
and Means Committee to ask for a con-
ference with the President. Those who
will attend are Representatives Greene
tIa-). Frear (Wis). Young (N. d..
Hawley (Ore.), Hadley (Wash.) and
Timberlale (Coi).
The belief prevails here. however, de-
spite the prevailing opinion on the two
committees. that revision Of the tax
laws will come first.
Mr.. Fordney said to-day he would In
troduce on the first day or the extra
session tho anti-dumping bill as passed
by the House moro than year ago.
The American valuation provision prob
ably will be appended to that measure
after approval by tho WAYS and Means
Committee, he said.
Members from wool growing states

for an embargo on wool. Those who
called al the White House on this cr-
rand included Senators Smoot. Oddie.
