Tnriff Revision a Thorny Road . . . ' U is 'Siiiniiig to develop more and WILL MAKE TO THE SOUTI Visit Greensboro Con Matter, of Dis- the J. PENCE , i more that Republican sentiment in the House is for "a stand pat" policy, and that. the president is finding revision of the tariff by, its friends a more serious task than when he wrote his annual message. There is no longer a doubt that Speaker Cannon of the House i3 i opposed to revision, and that members of congress freely assert that iri that position the House is with the speaker. Mr. Roosevelt's position ort tariff re vision al along has been that the par ty should, first ' agree upon a program, then go ahead and carry It, out. The thing now " in the way is agreement upon a program. Unless the leaders can get together President Roosevelt must either put off or give up revision, or call an extra session before any definite program Is agreed upon, and force tariff revision. This would mean !arlpping up of schedules all along the line, or no action at all. It is doubted if the president will take the respon sibility.of precipitating this sort of gen eral tariff revision. For that reason the callng .of an extra session to deal with the tariff can not be said to' have been" finally determined upon. Efforts to get .Speaker Cannon and the House in line will not be abandoned by the executive. Another White House conference is ex pected -in a few days. The "stand patters" insist that there shall be a count of; noses in the House and that-men must come to the front and state definitely their position. The pending efforts in the direction of ascertaining the; real sentiment in the Republican party will bring, results which will acquaint the president with the actual facts. Within thp next few days "there is to be a complete census of the Republican party in 'congress to determine the strength of tariff revis ion sentiment. .' . Trying to Trace a. Missing Wife C. E.

Not a word has been heard from -her. 'since. She - wore a valuable dia mond and had with her $100. The wo man's family are as entirely in the dark regarding her fate as the hus iband. Her mother is distracted with grief, but lives on the hope that the missing one is unharmed and will re turn. The husband has. tried to avoid publicity and; employed private detec tives. - Henry G. Davis, who was the Demo cratic candidate for vice president in the last election, called at the White House today. He had forgotten that it was 'cabinet day" and' did not see the president. He had a pleasant chat with Secretary Loeb, who ..entertained him, and said he would call again.

It was planned today for the Senate committee on for- eign relations to make a favorable re port upon the various arbitration treat ies which are pending before that body. This program is somewhat surprising in view of the fact that it was agreed at the last meeting of the committee that Senators Lodge and Spooner as a sub-committee, should prepare an amendment to each of the treaties ask ed for by the Democratic members of the committee. During the meeting of the committee last week southern men upon the committee asked that the i companions who were powerless to as treaties be amended in a wav to afford sist him. amPle protection to southern states which had repudiated bonds which had been issued by the Confederate States during the civil war. It was explained that many, of these bonds were held abroad and that under the provisions or more civilians to blow up the statue of the proposed treaties the states in- of Frederick the Great, recently pre volved might be fjorced to payment. The ! rented to this government by the em senators making this request stated ' peror of Germany, and now standing in that unless these, amendments were , the War College grounds.

No damage In the meantime, however, it is said, j resulted to the statue or to property or the president learned of the situation ' and offered the suggestion that it would be best to proceed with a report upon the treaties without the proposed amendments, on the eround that thev i might seriously endanerer the nmsnocto of the final adoption of the treaties by the respective foreign countries involv- ed, and at least would result in unnec- essary delay. Accordingly it had been decided to proceed without the adop- tion of the amendments affectin" the soutnern states. According to the gen- eral understanding tonight, the treaties will be reported to the Senate tomor- irow, so as to insure ratification before -the close of the session.

Articles of Impeachment in the Swayne Case Presented Washington, Jan. 10. Most of the day's session in the House today was expended in consideration of the Hill currency bill. Speeches by ' Messrs. Bartlett of Georgia and Cockran of New York against the bill were made, which '-were the chief features of the occasion. The committee of the whole agreed to the Williams amendment re quiring the secretary of the treasury in making desposits to do so in the banks - off ering the highest rate of in terest after competition. A further amendment was agreed to, offered by Mr. Bowie qf Maryland, that the money loaned be equitably divided among the banks; of the several states. No concision on the bill was reached, although . jtfr. Hill Was. very anxious to get action. He accepted a number of amendments, not because he favor ed them, but for the reason that he hoped to get the measure into satis factory shape in the Senate. Mr. Cockran entertained the House with a philosophical disquisition upon the principles and practices of bank- ; ine.t He surmorted the amendment. of Mr. Williams of Mississippi, providing that public moneys shall be deposited after competition among the banks in those institutions which offer the highest rate of interest. The Fowler proposed substitute met Mr. Cockran's criticism. He would hot give the gov ernment a first Hen upon assets ' for its deposits, nor any other security. He would make it last among the bank's creditors, for It was the. one depositor that could protect itself. If the gov ernment would trust a bank, as other depositors were compelled to do, it should close the bank and not leave It to be a trap for any one. He sar castically complimented Fowler " as "the most majestic, Intelligent and imposing authority on this subject in this or any other land." Mr. Fowler If the gentleman's judg ment were good for anything ! should The Duke Sensation I Beginning to Subside , ( Appears That It Will Be i ' . s Difficult to Support a Crim inal Charge Against the Woman or Her . Familiars New York, Jan. 10.The noise about the fortunes of Brodie L. Duke and hm j fifty-year-old bride began to subsifle ' today. The Duke family said that they Square Persbyterian Church to the man now in a ward as a- sufferer from j alcoholic dementia.. j There was some little activity in the : case at me aistrict attoriify s uiiic, where Assistant District Attorney Lord , examined a message from a man who ! made a long, rambling statement about the spree preceding the marriage. ' About the. only thing that locks like j evidence of possible use in entertaining J a criminal charge was that on Decern - j ber 18, the day before the wedding, the j woman had in the presence of at least ; three . presons declared that ' She was the daughter of William H. Webb, the ', late millionaire shipbuilder. ' It might be something of a strain to apply to this declaration the section of the penai code which declares it to be a felony punishable by ten years Imprisonment when any,person falsely, personates an other and in such assumed character "marries, or pretends to marry, or to sustain the marriage relation toward another with or without the connivance of the latter." . It was learned at the district attor ney's office today that there would,. be little further effort there to prove that Mrs. Duke and others - were partners ! in a conspiracy to get Duke drunk and i l:eep him drunk. It is admitted, that j there will be considerable difficulty in i proving that Mrs. DUke made unvera ments, if she made any directly, influ enced Duke's mind. ; The testimony now in hand goes to show that Dukey mind was not in a state to be influ-. enced by any appeal to his reasoning faculties. For reasons best known t the bartender of the Hotel Winton, it is the opinion of the members of the district' attorney's stall; - w ho .have in vestigated the case that none of those present at the festivities which pre- ; ceded and followed tne weuamg couiu ten, een u moea Dy wie yuirt-i - isire to tell the truth, exactly what oc- ! curred. Mrs. Duke did not appear at the dls- thank him for the compliment. At which the Republicans laughed Mr. Cockran I did not extend it un qualified, but assumed it for the pur pose of argument. And the effect as demonstrated has been to make the argument ridiculous.- And then it was the Democrats' turn to laugh. A resolution was agreed to calling on the secretary of the-interior for a report of ;4he facts in any case where he had. authorized the expenditure of Indian funds for the maintenance of other than government schools in Indian-reservations. " The Indian and military appropria tion bills were reported. Also the articles of impeachment against Judge Charles Swayne of the northern dis, tfict of Florida, prepared by ; the spe- : cial .committee appointed before the holidays. Mr. Palmer of Pennsylvania, in charge of the matter, gave notice that he would call them up Thursday. The House adjourned until tomor row. Debate Continued on the Statehood Bill i Washington, Jan. 10. At the begin ning of today's session of the Senate Mri Cullom of the committee on ap propriations reported the executive, legislative and judicial appropriation bill, and gave notice that he would call it up for action at the first oppor-. tunity. In. presenting a number of petitions for the expulsion of Senator Smoot from the Senate, Mr. Daniel said: "The petitions concern the right of a sena tor to his seat. Nothing is officially known to the Senate concerning this cjase, which is in committee, and I da not know how the signers f- these petitions coUld pass uppn the case without knowledge of the testimony. I present the petitions because thb people have the right to send thern,. but not because I recognize the pro priety, of them." The Senate accepted the amend ments to the resolution" authorizing the use of the pension building for the inaugural ball, ' which passed the measure. The amendments provide for the safety of the building and require the inaugural committee to furnish a bond.. , ' '.' At 2 o'clock the statehood bill . was taken up and Mr. Stewart addressed the'sehate." trict attorney's office today. Every body who has been mentioned in the Duke scandal so far has been sub poenaed o appear at the district attor ney's office tomorrow. Traced Through th Tenderloin New York, Jan; io. The Investiga tion made by district attorney and" his assistants into the marriage of Brodie .Duke has led them through leng tenderloin trail and much of the career of the woman has been learnefl. They have traced her through resorts in the tenderloin, in some of which sue was the acknowledged proprietor, and, in others where she supplied the finan cial backing. She had as her boon companions several other women whosa specialty was the. "roping in" of mil lionaires. Most of the facts in the pos session of those in Mr. Jerome's office were told by Dr. E. P. Osbaldestone, a masseur, called to attend Brodie IV Duke, when he was at the Hotel, Win ton. Speaking of a woman who has been spoken of as a friend of Mr Duke, he said today that she had an unenviable reputation. He related honr on one of his professional visits to her house he heard her and others discuss the possibility of roping in different mJHionaJres. On one occasion he. heard they succeeded in blackmailing a son of one of New York's best known families out of several hundred thou sand dollars.
