Washington, D. C:, Sept. 20. TUe
tariff conference committee today
voted to leave bananas on the free list.
After a long controversy in which the
Influence of President Wilson was
thrown in favor of the continued free
importation of the fruit, the senate
conferees receded from their amend
ment which would have imposed a
duty of one-tenth of one cent per
pound. '
The senate conferees also gave way
as to the duty on lemons, limes, grape
fiuit and Bimilar fruits, leaving the
iate as fixed by the house, based on
the measurements of packages. The
senato had fixed a flat rate of one-half
of one cent, per pound. The house
rates agreed to are a slight reduction
over existing rates.
A critical study of the Underwood
Simmons tariff bill to determine
whether it will produce enough rev
enue for governmental need3 was
still under way today when the tariff
conference committee resumed work.
Reductions by the senate in many
cases have been opposed uy the house
conferees on the ground they would
cut the revenues beyond the margin
of safety.
Chairman Simmons, of the senate
conferees, has announced that the bill
would amply meet the revenue needs
of the nation. Some of the more im
portant disputes, however, are on ar
ticles on , which house members fear a
reduction of rates will mean too much
loss of revenue.
Two other important decisions
definitely removed the proposed coun
' tervailing duty against wood pulp and
imposed a countervailing duty agalnBt
potatoes when imported from coun
tries imposing duties on like imports
from the United States.
The senate had struck out the wood
pulp countervailing duty imposed by
the house and the conferees today rat
ified that action. The 10 per cent
countervailing duty on potatoes,
adopted by the conferees, also was a
senate amendment.
A compromise at about one and one
half cents a pound was reached on
Zante currants on which Greek im
porters had made a hard fight.
The house provision putting press
clothes used in cotton seed oil mills
or the free list was accepted.
The senate members also receded
from their rate on hats and the house
rate of 40 per cent ad valorem was
adopted.

SUCH IS THE INDICATION IN REPORT OF
RECEIVERS MADE TODAY TO JUDGE
SANBORN IN UNITED STATES DISTRICT
COURT AT ST. PAUL.
That Don Juan Itiano y Gayangos,
the Spanish minister who will visit
Santa Fe October 4 may be Spain's
first ambassador to this country is the
assertion of the Washington Post
which prints an article of unusual In
terest concerning this diplomat, and
his romance which culminated in the
marriage of one of Americans most
talented and beautiful girls, the much
sought after Alice Ward
Says the Post:
Official, diplomatic and social Wash
ington is awaiting with interest the
elevation of the Spanish legation to nn
embassy, which, as announced '.n Thi
Post of yesterday, wi'.l be done by the
Spanish government as soon as formal
announcement Is made in Madrid of
(he elevation of the American lega
tion there to the embassy rank.
It was also said in Madrid that
Senor Don Juan Riano y Gayangos,
i present minister from Spain to the
j United Stales, probably would be the
first ambassador of his government to
the national capital. This is another
item of news that is of especial pleas
ure to social Washington, as, in addi
tion to his popularity, the elevation
of Senor Riano will mean that of the
eleven embassies then accredited here
American women will preside over the
social destinies of no less than Are.
Senor Riano assumed his present
position in the diplomatic corps here
on May 24, 1910. Both he and Senora
Riano were previously well known in
the nation's capital. Since their ar
rival they have taken a leadinp posi
tfon among the lavish entertainers.
The legation on New Hampshire ave
nue and later at its present location,
2C20 Avenue of the .Presidents, has
been the scene of some of the most
brilliant entertainments of the past
fhree seasons, and as an embassy,
with its greater social obligations,
Washington is confident that the
achievements of the past will be outdone.
Romance of Diplomatic Corps.
Senor Riano, who speaks English as
fluently as his native tongue, was sta
tioned, as secretary, in Washington
many years ago, and it was at that
time that one of the prettiest ro
mances of the present diplomatic
corps began. While here he met,
wooed and won the beautiful and
much-sought-after Alice Ward. To this
day the romance has continued as
brightly, and the Rianos are known as
one of the happiest of couples in of
ficial circles. i
With Senora Riano presiding over
the social affairs of an embassy, five
popular American women, all happily
married to distinguished foreigners,
will nearly control the social activities
among the embassies. In addition to
Senora Riano, the wife of the French
ambassador, dean of the corps, Mme.
Jusserand, is an American, she hav
ing been, before her marriage, Miss
Elizabeth Richards. For years before
Ambassador Jusserand became dean
of the diplomatic corps last year, upon
the retirement of Ambassador Hen
gelmuller, of Austria-Hungary, Mme.
Jusserand attained and held a position
of the greatest popularity, to which
she has added since assuming the lead
in the social activities of the foreign
representatives. Her social policy, as
she is a strict Roman Catholic, has
discouraged the Sunday entertain
ments which were springing up before
she took the reins into her own hands.
Other American Wives.""'
Ranking next to her among the
American wives is Countess von Bern
storff, wife of the German ambassa
dor, who was, prior to her marriage.
Miss Peannie Dauchmeyer, of New
York. Mme. Bakhmetff, the charming
wife of the Russian ambassador, is
also an American.
The last American girl to join the
ranks of ambassadors' wives was Mrs.

the confessed murderer, Father Jo

operations.
Heibing was born at Nakel. in the
province of Posen In 18K7. He resid

the public was Interested In these de
tails, were it not for the fact that
the representatives of a few newspa
pers have regarded it as a matter of
great Importance."
When Mr. Bryan was asKed it lie
would lecture any more during nis
connection with the state department,
he replied:
"I expect to lecture whenever I
deem it desirable or necessary to do
so and have not in the least altered
the plans which were made at the
time. I assumed the duties of the of
fice. The criticism that has been di
rected against my lecturing is no more
than the criticism I have undergone
at other times and for other things

governor had been recognized.
During this morning, Executive
Legal Assistant Owen L., Potter, think
ing Mr. Glynn had been recognized,
offered his services to the acting gov
ernor. Other attaches signified their
willingness to take orders from Mr.
Glynn.

New York. Sept. 20. All the death
certificates filed since the first of the
year 15,000 in number, were examined
today to ascertain whether they in
cluded any paper forged by "father"
Hans Schmidt to conceal the murder
or' other persons besides Anna Aumll

Schmidt has confessed that he pre- j
pared these blank certificates for the j
purpose of accounting for the death of
persons hopelessly sick or crippled :
whom he meant to kill painlessly for j
their own good. He denied, however,
that he had put his plan into effect or

Testifying before the state railroad
commission which continued today its
inquiry Into the relations between the
Southern Pacific railroad and the
Wells Fargo Express company, Vice
President and General Manager Chris
tiansen, of the latter company, de
clared that parcel post competition
had caused the company to lose 31.7
per cent of small packages since the
first of the year, when the govern
ment service waB established. In the
same period, he said, the company's
revenue had been reduced 33 per cent,
and this percentage, he affirmed,
would apply to all other express com
panies.
"We are confronted," he asserted,
"with the proposition of increased ex
penses, decreased business and de
creased revenues. The competition
demands increased service, and while
we have Increased the service, our
net profits have shrunk since as far
back as 1910. In 1910 we made a '

St Paul, Minn., Sept 20. Indica
tions that the Frisco railway system
soon may be placed on a paying basis
was given today In the hearing ot re
ceivers ot the road before Judge W.
H. Sanborn, of the United States dis
trict court here.
"The operation of the road," said
Judge Sanborn, "has been a credit to
the federal receivership. The outlook
is far better than it was a few months
ago. We ought to know by October
whether the road will be able to pay
other than the preferred claims
against it."
The preferred claims are estimated
at $3,500,000.
The payment of $132,000 to the
North American company for the joint
use of terminals and yards at New
Orleans was taken under advisement
by Judge Sanborn. The court refus
ed to allow the reecivers to sell $584,
