WOMAN IS SLAIN
IN ROOM|NG HOUSE
Lodger Finds Body on Floor
in Basement, With
Skull Fractured.

A lookout was broadcast by po-
lice this afternoon for Warder Til
berg, a plumber, who is wanted for
questioning in connection with the
death of Mrs. Hendricks. The man
was said by other roomerS at the
Hendricks house to have been with
the woman late last night.
Mrs Jeannette Hendricks, 40, was
found murdered today in the basement
of her roorning house, at 2318 Eight
eenth street, with her head battered
Clad in housedress bathrobe and
a pair of cloth slippers, she was found
lying on the floor of the cellar by a
roomer Wiss Coleman.
Going to the basement to fire the
furnace, Coleman discovered the wom-
ans outstretched body lying on the
bloodstained cement floor. The body
lay beside a brick column supporting
the floor above. The side of the pillar
was stained with blood, indicating, po-
lice pointed out, that Mrs. Hendricks
head probably was pushed against the
column several times.
Horrified by his discovery, Coleman
telephoned police headquarters.
Poker Found in Basement.
A poker. said to have traces of blood
upon it, was found shortly after the
womans body was discovered. 1t was
located in the basement, near the fur
mace, police said.
Members of the homicide squad, in
addition to officers of the third pre-
cinct, rushed to the scene. Mrs. Hen
bricks was pronounced dead by an
Emergency Hospital physician, who
said death was due to a fractured
skull.
A hole in the side of the womans
head at first gave rise to the theory
she had been shot, but the physicians
examination revealed no evidence of
bullet wound
Unidentified Man Calls.
Occupants of the house told investi-
gators they last saw Mrs. Hendricks
last night. At that time, they said, she
was visited by man they did not
know
Possibility that Mrs. Hendricks may
have committed suicide was first con-
sidered by detectives, but they aban-
doned this theory when it was found
she had not been Shot.
Investigators we're unable to eStab-
lish motive for the Staying and a
search of the three-story house dis
closed no evidence Of robbery.
About a year ago, police said, Mrs.
Hendricks went to police headquarters
and complained that man had threat
ened her life. She was advised to swear
out warrant, they added. but failed
to do so.
Members of the homicide squad, I'M
der Sergt. Harry K. Wilson, newly
appointed chief, began a search for
the man of whom Mrs. Hendricks had
complained. They refused to say
whether they knew the mans identity
or where he might be found.
Police said later they expected early
arrest of last nights caller. They said
his name had been given them by
roomer at the Eighteenth street house

PARIS ADDS TO JUS.
EXPORT BARRIERS
Wall Against American Ma
chine Tools Called Most
important.

Six new barriers have been erected
around American exports to France, the
Commerce Department announced to-
day
The most important Is the imposition
Of quota restrictions en- imports OF
American machine tools, which In 1881
were valued at about $2,0OO00O.
Another important item is the i'm
portation restriction of American cleo
trio lighting fixtures and storage bat
teries, the value of which in 1881 almost
equals that Of machine tools.
Other restrictions imposed by the
new decree affects textile yarns, UNI
brella sticks, gold leaf and glassware.
The latest restrictions brought the
number of quotas so far established up
to nearly 40, reducing substantially the
amount of American products which
can be sold in France. BY means of
quota control of imports France hopes
to transform her decidedly unfavorable
trade balance to a favorable one, 1t was
said
In his cabled report to the depart
ment, Commercial Attache Fayette w.
Airport said:
when the prospective establishment
Of an import quota into France on ma
chine tools was learned of the Amer
lean Ambassador requested that the
establishment of the quota be postponed
until the viewpoint of the American
industry could have been presented
through their designated representatives
at Paris.
ITO this the French minister replied
that he could not defer enactment OF
the machine tool quota, but that he
could point out to French industries
concerned the desire of the United
States that representatives of affected
American industries be included in
future pre-quota conversations"
The department in placing its esti-
mate on machine tool exports to France
at about $2,O00,000 for 1881 was I'M
able to determine exactly the total value
involved. This was explained as being
due to the differences in tariff claSsifi-
cations under the American and French
systems and to the fact that under the
latter numerous items are classed as
machine tools which are not so consid-
cred in the American tariff.
Attache AnpoTt has Informed the de-
partment that out of the total quota of
machine tools permitted to enter France
under the new decree about SO per cent
Is allotted to Germany. German deliv-
cries for the account OF reparations in
kind are not included in the quotas, he
said.
Officials were reluctant to discuss
whether, In their opinion, the new
quota was unduly discriminatory against
the United States and preferential to
Germany.
The following LIST Of majority Of
American articles affected by the
French import quota on machine tools,
with the value of such exports to France
in 1880 and 1881, was made available
by the department:
