EXPECT TAFT
TO SIGN NEW
TARIFF BILL
Leaders Plan to Have Measure
in President's Hands Early
This Week
Deliberations of Republican Con
ference Committee Now
Practically Completed
WASHINGTON', July IS.— The re
publican conference committee is
ne»r the end of its deliberations
on the tariff bill and its report
probably will be completed late
this week. The general impression
Ss that the report will be adopted by
oongress and will reach the president
early next week.
Many expect that President Taft will
sigrn the bilL He caused a flurry in
oorigress Friday night by issuing: what
amounted to an informal message to
congress reiterating: his conviction
that the people demanded a bona fide
downward tariff revision.
Probably the five subjects which have
received President Taft'a personal at
tention — iron ore. coal, oil, hides and
lumber — will be taken up by the con
ferees first. Proceeding upon the as
sumption that iron ore and oil will be
placed upon the free list and that ex
isting duties on coal, hides and lumber
will be materially reduced, the con
ferees are preparing amendments on
articles related to the foregoing ma
terials.
WOOD PL'LP AXD PRINT PAPER
Outside of the questions receiving
the personal attention of Taft, the
greatest difficulty anticipated relates
to the wood pulp and print paper
schedules. On account of the state
ment of Representative Mann, chair
man of the special committee which In
vestigated this whole subject and re
ported reduced rates to the house, that
he would vote against the conference
report unless the views of his commit
tee were recognized, the conferees have
delayed disposition of this schedule.
The house rate on print paper was
fixed at 52 a ton. The senate rate is
54 a ton as against the existing rate of
f6 a ton. The general impression is
that the senate conferees will offer to
compromise with the house by agree
ing to accept a rate of 53.
SPLIT OVER GLOVE TARIFF
The paragraph affecting women's
gloves, on which the house advanced
the existing rate, is among those on
which action has been deferred. The
senate conferees are holding out for an
amendment restoring Dlngley rates.
The senate conferees are insisting
upon increases made in the duty on
lemons. The existing rate is 1 cent a
pound. The house Increased this to
1-4 cents and the senate to 14 cent
more, in the interest of the California
growers. This is one of the questions
to be taken tip early this week.

woman who escaped was the wife of
one of Jikiri's followers . and accepted
the safe conduct offered by the
Americans before the assault on the
cave began.
Ueutenant Joseph A.- Baer of.. lh«
Sixth cavalry is agreed by all who saw
the fight to have been the hero of the

killed the bandit, is the talk of army
circles! Baer killed four of: the eight
bandits slain.

[Special Dispatch to The Call]
BOSTON, July 18. — Jealousy is rife in the president's set at Beverly.
The 'society folk who are clustered around the Taft cottage arc
bitterly, sadly envious over the successful bid for Mrs. Taft's favor
which a charming woman has made.
A book, a two volume edition de luxe, is the cause of all the heartache,
and the -countess yon Bernsdorff, the wife of the German ambassador, is

been strengthened through the grace-*

THAW DENIES THE
CHARGES OF WIFE
"Absolute Falshood in Alleged
Interview," Says the ,»
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
NEW YORK, July 18.— Harry K.
Thaw today branded as false the most
recent statement attributed to his wife,
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, concerning his
conduct both before and after their
marriage. After a conference with his
mother and sister, during a part of
which Dr. H. Ernest Schmidt was pres
ent, the following brief signed state
ment was given out:
"There is an absolute falsehood in
an alleged interview this morning."
Dr. Schmidt delivered the note and
volunteered the information that Thaw
was indignant at the statement made
by Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, charging him
with cruelly beating a page in the ho
tel Carlton, London, and then rubbing
salt into the wounds^of his victim.
"Thaw is in splendid condition, both
physically and mentally," declared Dr.
Schmidt. "I have- examined him every
day since he came here and I have
discovered nothing «Jn his conduct or
conversation to indicate that he Is not
of sound mind. His physical condition
is remarkable, taking into considera
tion , his long confinement."
Dr.- Schmidt handed the" reporter a
second slip of paper from Thaw, on
which was written; the. following:
"As there is no doubt of the integrity
of the numerous witnesses who have
testified for Mr. Thaw it would be ex
traordinary, if all were mistaken as to
his perfect sanity.v From a scientific
point of view there is no higher author
ity than Dr. Adolf Meyer, and he gave
the clearest" testimony concerning Mr.
LThaw's normality." *

SPANISH PRETENDER,
DON CARLOS, DIES
Long Illness, Reported as Apo=
plexy, Ends Career of the -
Duke of Madrid
He Claimed and Fought for
Throne Under Special Law
of Succession
ROME, July IS.— Don Carlos of Bour
bon,, pretender to the Spanish throne,
died today at Varez in Lombard!. He
had been ill for n a long time and the
latest reports indicated that he was
suffering from apoplexy. ...
Don Carlos, duke of Madridr who
claimed under the special law of suc
cession established by Philip V to be
the legitimate king of Spain by the
title of Charles VII, was born at Lay
bach. Austria, March 30, IS4 8. His
father, Don Juan, was the brother, of
Don Carlos Charles VII, known as the
count de Montemolin, in support of
whose claims the >- Carlist risings of
IS4B, 1555 and 1860 were organized.
LED FOUR YEARS' WAR \u25a0
As Charles VII died in IS6I without
children his rights devolved upon his
brother, Don Juan, who had married
the ,. .archduchess Maria ,Teresa of
Austria. Their son, Don. Carlos, mar
ried Margaret de Bourbon. In October.
1868, Don Juan abdicated in favor of
his son, whose standard was raised in
the north of Spain in 1 872 by some of
his partisans.
i Don Carlos himself, after addressing
a proclamation to the inhabitants of
Catalonia,' Aragon and call
ing upon them to take arms In his
cause, entered Spain July 15, 1873, an
nouncing that he" came to save the
country. .
Then followed the "four years' war"
which ended in January, 1876, when
Tolosa. the last stronghold of the Car
lists, fell, and its defenders .sought
refuge in French territory. Meanwhile
the republic ended and the. eldest son
of former Queen Isabella took the
Spanish throne as Alfonso XII.
FIGHT FOR SUCCESSION*
Alfonso XII died in 1885' and the
fight'for the succession raged between
Don Carlos and Marie Christina of
Austria, widow of the late king. The
posthumous birth of the present king
in 1886, however, kindled a feeling of
loyalty which has existed up to the
present. *•
Within recent years there has been
a recurrence of the Carlist agitation
in Catalonia and other districts which
was attributed to the influence of Don
Jaime, the only son" of Don Carlos, but
these movements have proved of little
importance.

pany in Mariposa' county July , 16,- the
third and last son. of that family met

OUTWARD FLOW OF GOLD

NEW YORK, July 18.— The shifting

reflected a state of speculative uncer

In United States steel was the only de

The,dull and uncertain movement In

Confidence in the healthy restoration

ultimate, yield of. profitable crops is
counted on. . - '
Last week's heavy requirements on

but slight effect on Interest rates. Na

upon to return 56,000.000 more August

The rapid decline in foreign exchange

STRONG STATEMENT
BY LOCAL MATRON
"Stomach Man" Indorsed by
Woman Who Says He
Made Her Well
Indigestion Made Eating a Tor
ture, Caused Faint ness and >
Dizzy Spells
A strong: statement In favor of the
Cooper "stomach man" was made Sat
urday, at the Owl drug store in the
Phelan building by Mrs. Leontlne Des
pln of 30 Scott place. She declared
she' had been entirely cured of stomach
trouble of 20 months' standing: by the
treatment of the young: easterner who
has stirred so much comment in the
bay cities since he has been meeting
the people here. Cooper's most radical
theory is that 95 per cent of all chronic
Illness is due to nothing: but stomach
trouble. Mrs. Despln's statement cer
tainly tends to bear' out his statements.
She said:
"About 20 months ago I began to suf
fer severely from stomach trouble. I
doctored for it but it seemed to me
to steadily" grow . worse. I lost flesh,
was tired and anemic all of the time
and the pains I suffered after. eating
finally grew so bad that I thought I
had cancer. Taking food into my stom
ach became torture. Gas would form.
I would become nasaueated and feel
faint, with dizzy spells. Then palpita
tion of theheart, which followed, made
me fear and almost wish I was going
to die.
"I have lived in .San Francisco long
enough for my friends to know that
I would not say this for anyone unless
it were true, but this man Cooper's
remedy has certainly cured me of stom
ach trouble, and when I came In today
I was glad to be able to tell him so.
Before* I took. his treatment I could not
eat a particle of solid food and now I
can eat anything. I lost 60 pounds
through my illness, but now I am rap
idly regaining my normal weight."
Cooper appeared to be one of the
busiest men in San' Francisco when in
terviewed, but, although he cut his
statement ..short, what he said was
characteristically novel. The "stomach
man" said:
"Catarrh of the stomach and chronic
constipation are at the root of all this
sickness and half sickness that you see
in San Francisco. Thousands of peo
ple have come to see me here who have
been suffering for years from what
they thought was every imaginable
kind of disease. In nine cases out of
ten I found the fault was caused by
stomach trouble. People eat what they
want to for a certain number of years
and then when their digestive system
gets out of order and disease overtakes
them they wonder why. The stomach
becomes coated with a catarrhal sub
stance and food can not digest. Con
sequently it literally rots and forms
I gas. This pumps poison into the blood.
