BURLINGTON, N. j., Aug. 5.-Carrie

dogs, Mutt and Ted, came to her aid.
The dogs barked, the snakes ratified
and lunged at them and Miss Pittman
threw huckleberries at the snakes.
The intelligent reptiles refused the
fruit, however, and were closing in on
the young woman and the two dogs,
apparently being purely carnivorous
rattlesnakes, when James Giberson,
who had heard the screaming and the
rattling and the barking, came running
up with gun.
He fred several shots at the snakes,
which decided to withdraw from the
combat only after two of them had
been wounded. Giberson pursued the

two wounded reptiles and with several
more shots managed to kill them.
The largest of the three snakes got
away and Giberson had shot off the
rattles of the next largest. The small
est, however, had thirteen rattles.
Giberson cut both snakes open, as
he said their actions showed they were
hunting, and it is the kindly nature of
the rattler to take it's children with
it when it goes hunting. Twelve wrig-
Cling little rattlers were found cozily
ensconsed inside each snake and they
all began to rattle when their parents
were opened.
Giberson killed all the little snakes,
though somewhat regretfully. If his
maltese cat, Clorinda hadn't died, he
said, he would have taken the two
dozen little snakes home and Clorinda
would have reared them for him until
they became large enough to be mar
ketable. Clorinda dotted on little
snakes, he said and had raised many
broods for him. The motherly
creature died in the spring from
shock when she discovered than an egg
she had buried in the sand in the be-
lief that snake would emerge, turned
cut to be q turtles egg.

Mathilde True to Max,
Harold Mccormick Finds
Father Said to Have Failed in
Latest Effort to Sidetrack
Riding Master
Special Cable to The Tribune


PARIS, Aug. 5-Through his secre-
tary hints filtered out to-day that Har
old w. Mccormick, president of the
International Harvester Company, had
made one last effort since arriving here
to break up or delay the marriage of
his daughter, Miss Mathilde. to Max
Oser. a Swiss riding instructor, nearly
thrice her years. 1t is understood,
however, that the young woman put
both feet down on the parental
maneuver, asserting that her love for
Max had not changed particle and
that marriage was inevitable.
Persistent efforts to locate the Swiss
in Paris, where it was reported he had
arrived, were fruitless, and there is
excellent evidence for the statement
that he has not been in this city.
When he sees his fiancee it will be in
his native Switzerland, where he will
be as solidly intrenched against pub
licity as the McCormicks are in their
small hotel in the smart quarter of
as we'll as a literally subsidized hotel
staff, have so far succeeded in warding
off visitors.
Mr.. Mccormick has remained indoors
since his arrival, although it is re-
ported that tomorrow he and his
daughter will take long ride in tke
country.
ZURICH, Aug. 5.-Miss Mathilde Nc
Cormick, the youthful American fancee
of Max Oser, Swiss riding master, is
expected to arrive at Lucerne to-mor-
row or Monday. She will make short
stay at Selisberg, health resort over
looking the spot where much of the
action in Schiller's civilian Tell" took

Sugar Gougging
Plot Charged
By Harrison
Mississippi Man Says Cubans
Were to Pay Big Bonus
to American Refiners
for Schedule Juggling
Smoot's Wrath Stirred
Resents Insinuations That
His Letter to General
Crowder Was Not Proper
Fron, rhe Trfhune,s Washtnaton RureaA

From The Tritume's Washington Bureu~
WASHINGTON, Aug 5.-Senator
Harrison, of Mississippi, proposed on
the floor of the Senate to-day an in
vestigation into allegations that Amer
lean sugar interests and certain men
in Congress, as we'll as officials, en-
tered into scheme to reduce the duty
on Cuban sugar down to Ia cents a
pound. AS part of the arrangement the
Cuban crop was to be restricted to
100000 tons.
This plan of restriction failed, as
alleged, and then sugar interests here
sought to make an arrangement under
which the American cane and beet
sugar interests, in lieu of the benefits
of additional duty on Cuban sugar,
were to receive out of the sale of the
Cuban crop one-fourth of the value
of the entire beet and cane crop of
this country, last year.
While these charges were being de-
bated unanimous consent agreement
was entered into by the Senate, under
which the tariff bill will be expedited
ment provided prior consideration for
certain important phases of the bill,
such as sugar, hides and potash, and
for disposing of them before August
II. After they are disposed of debate
will be limited and the measure forced
to vote.
Just when passage will be reached
under this arrangement cannot be said,
but it is considered certain it will be
before the end of August. A vote in
about three weeks is generally pre-
dicted.
Under the agreement it will be pos
sible to bring forward the Gooding
resolution to investigate the financial
interests of Senators only by unani-
nous consent. In fact, nothing apart
from the tariff can be considered ex-
cept by unanimous consent
Senator Gooding twice tried to get
his resolution brought up for consider
alton to-day, but failed. Once he was
held out of order. The second time
Senator Smoot objected, at request OF
Senator Calder, who was absent. Sena-
tor Gooding angrily protested at hav-
ing his resolution blocked and de.
clared again that he would continue to
demand an investigation.
Opinions still differ widely whether
the tariff measure will become law be-
fore the elections. The Democratic
chiefs insist the Republicans will yet
find way to throw it over until No
vember.
The sugar plan described rather
vaguely by Senator Harrison was tina,
the Cuban producers were to pay part
of the proceeds of their crop to the
American producers if the Ia cents
duty was provided instead of higher
duty.
Senator Harrison charged that Sen
ator Smoot had written letter te
Major General Crowder, representative
Of President Harding in Cuba, propos-
ing limitation of the Cuban crop to

A committee of public utility officials
will make recommendations to the

Commi ssion tomorrow for the avoid
ance of heatless, lightless and transit

The situation is said to be already

running on the smallest amount of
coal possible.
This report is to be prepared by
the executive committee of the Utili-
ties Advisory Committee, formed yes
terday by the public utility represen-
tatiyes called together by Chairman
William A. Prendergast, of the Public
Service Commission, 80 Church Street.
The larger committee will establish
permanent headquarters with the En-
pire State Gas G. Electric Association,
J. w Lieb, ce-president of the New
York Edison Company, as permanent
chairman.
Mr.. Lieb presided over the meeting
yesterday. After the larger commit
tee had been formed, an executive
committee was named, and instructed
to make an immediate report on the
coal situation. The executive commit
tee later conferred with C. H. Vanne-
man, chief engineer of the Public Serv-
ice Commission, who issued the fol-
lowing statement:
'The purpose of this committee is to
work with the Governors Fuel Com
mite, its particular function being 20
safeguard public interest by maintain

cheney. The situation in respect to some
companies in this state is critical. The
committee expects to be able by it's ac-
tion now to avoid the heatless days and
lightless nights that this state had to
endure during the war. Fuel must be
conserved, power companies must pool
their resources and carry over those
companies unable to obtain coal.
"This plan has for its purpose the
securing of a sufficient amount of coal
to meet the immediate needs of these
corporations and to protect the public

tive committee that is to report to-
