world. Nearly everything that
he did he did in such a way as
to afford the cynics Of the
press material for merriment.
Poor Thurber! I often think
Of the boxes he got into Of the
most innocent sort. President
Cleveland abhorred publicity.
He went down to North Caro-
lima on a fishing trip one Friday
afternoon, warning Mr.. Thurber
that no human being must know
Of ihs absence. Saturday morn
ing a preeminent world figure
died. The Associated Press and
everybody else rushed to the
White House to get the Presi-
dents estimate of the deceased.
Mr.. Thurber received them.
He tiptoed his way gently into
the august room of the Presi-
dent, remained there a few mo-
ments, returned to the journal
lists to say to them that the
Presidents grief was very pro-
found; that he had held this
man in very high regard and
viewed his passing as a world
wide calamity in which the
President himself was one Of the
sufferers. simultaneously q
reporter picked up Mr.. Cleve-
land somewhere in North Caro-
lima and reported his expert
ences in fishing. Dick Weight
man accordingly wrote an edi-
torial of the Presidents incon.
solable grief as related by Mr..
Thurber.

TARIFF BATTLE
HARD TESTFOR
PRESIDENT
G. 0. P. Determination, Revolt
Among Democrats Hint of
All Summer Session
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

President Roosevelt has put his
ability to control Congress to it's
severest test in his request for
authority to negotiate reciprocal
trade agreements with foreign
governments and raise or lower
existing tariff rates up to so per
cent.
A survey of congressional senti-
ment since the message was
transmitted disclosed this today
beyond any doubt.
The Republicans are ready to
oppose it almost to a man. They
believe that Mr.. Roosevelt has at
last given them an issue upon
which they can go to bat in the
oncoming congressional campaign.
And there Is wide disaffection
In Democratic ranks, too, al
though just how vocal it is re-
mains to be seen. It will require
severe White House pressure to
hold . number Of Democrats in
line.
Industries Protest
Industries that feel they might
be affected by lowered tariff rates
are already making known their
opposition to members of Con-
greSs. In the heavily indus
trialized Eastern States there is
strong opposition.
TThn n~YNNcifinV1 ~ JaEyo1nrS
will take two lines: Cd That it
is unconstitutional for Congress
to delegate its authority to the
Executive, and 90 that the pro-
posed action puts too much power
in the hands of an individual.
A whole industry, it is pointed
out, might be crippled by cutting
a tariff rate in half.
Answer Fails To Satisfy
The administration answer to
this, of course, is that in the eXer-
else of his power the President
would be guided by national
self interest, and that he would
be as discretionary in tinkering
with tariff rates as he was, for
ample, with his powers to initiate
the currency under the Thomas
amendment.
This answer, however, does not
satisfy opponents Of the measure,
and a bitter battle lies ahead. The
Republicans privately assert that
Congress will be here all summer
before the tariff measure is passed
Mr.. Roosevelt put his plea for
tariff making powers on the
ground that it was necessary to
revive foreign trade. This, too, is
unconvincing to opponents Of the
plan.

WOMAN DOCTOR
INSISTS SHE'S
INNOCENT
Two on Jury Hold Out for
Death Penalty; 25-Year
Term Is Sentence

CHICAGO, March Z GN.S).
Found guilty in the weird MUIR
der Of her daughter-in-law. Rheta,
on an operating table. DR.. Alice
Lindsay Wynekoop today faced
with stole calm the prospect Of
spending the rest Of her ebbing
life in prison.
A jury that required only 10
minutes to determine her guilt
last night decreed that the aged
and sickly DR.. Wynekoop serve
as years in the penitentiary in
atonement. Two ballots were re-
quired, the first standing II to l
for conviction.
The verdict was returned in
the crowded, tense Criminal
court room of Judge Harry Miller
after the jury deliberated for one
hour and 35 minutes. Two jurors
had held out for the death pen
atty.
Has Little Comment
Her only comment today, ut
tered in q tired, weak voice from
her cot in the county jail, was:
II have suffered for long
time. 1 have courage to suffer
longer. 1 am not guilty"
At the defendants side, by
order Of the court, stood a physi-
clan with a heart Stimulapt ready
while the clerk read the verdict.
It was not needed, however. DR..
Catherine Wynekoop, her daugh-
ter, had forewarned the elderly
physician Of what to expect with
q signal Of her hand.
Rheta Gardner Wynekoop, the
aesthetic 23-year-old wife Of DR..
Wynekoop's favorite son, Earle,
was found chloroformed and shot
to death on an operating table
in the basement Of the phySl-
clans home here last Novem-
ber 81. The unclothed body was
wrapped in blanket.
The elderly physician was
charged by the State with having
killed Rheta to get $4,000 insur-
ance which she held on the girls
life and to free her son from his
unhappy marriage.
Will Hear New Trial Appeal
Judge Miller will hear a de-
fense appeal for q new trial on
March "a.
DR.. Wynekoop was permitted a
few moments alone with her son,
Walker Wyqnekoop, and her
physician-daughter in court
ante-room before being wheeled
away to her county Jail cell. There
she renewed her protestations of
innocence. Walker said:
'sIt's . stencil Of q verdict.
I'm getting a $4,000 loan on
some property tomorrow and we
shall appeal"
Earl Wynekoop, the widower,
was not in the courtroom.
Throughout both trials he had re-
mained conSpicuouSly absent.
