Have Not Been Notified to Attend Conference This Afternoon. (By Leased Wire to The ,Times) Washington, July 28 Representa tlve Champ Clark, of Missouri, mi nority leader and a member of the tariff conference, said this morning that the minority conferees have not been notified to attend the conference this afternoon. He thought it not improbable that they might receive some word from the republican con ferees later In the day but he would not be disappointed if the matter went over until tomorrow, as there are several items- yet in dispute be tween fhe bouse and senate.

Washington, July , 2S Another hitch has occurred in the tariff con ference which seems likely lo delay the report for several days, at least beyond the expectation of receiving' it, tomorrow. In order to bring the, western sen ators in line for Inv hides it was necessary lor Ihe conlerees io reia.n the senate duty of $150 on lumber. This Hading of hides lor lumber as a sop I" 'he west is nol only opposed by. the president, but is objected io bv the house. Members of the house have taken up the issue with the president, anil told li i in that the lower body will not agree to anything more than $1.25 on lumber. Neither is Mr. Taft satisfied with the higher rate on gloves and hosiery. It is these three articles which are now delaying the reporting or an agreement. The sit uation is complicated, in view of the fact that President Taft is supporting (lie house members in lower duties on lumber, and opposing them in higher rates on gloves and hosiery. The hide men counted noses again this morning and declared their be lief that they have a majority of one against the adoption of the confer ence report containing free hides. They allow a gain of two progressive senators, Brown and Burkett, of Ne braska, and Senator McKnery, of Louisiana, for the report, and still believethey can muster one majority against it. There is little likelihood that the democratic members of the confer ence will be called in conference this afternoon-. If they are to have hours to consider the report It seedis certain there will be a delay of on or two days. CONFERENC 28, 1909 Ilic de ll 1 1 of l.ii'iili-iianl Sutton. .Iiii ll'isitl, 1'. S.

I I'.y Cable to The Tinios.) Lisbon. Portugal, July 2S Spain has suffered the most crushing de l -at since the Spanish-American war.

"It is reported from the scene of Ihe Moroccan war thai lien.rai rinio ami several of his staff were killed in fierce lighting today. Further dis patches declare that several compan ies of the Spanish forces in the Me lilla barracks have mutinied and would not lie driven into today's lighting, even at the point of the bay onet. The rigid censorship established by the Spanish government nas laueu of ils purpose. Despite the vague dispatches of Spanish successes m Morocco and tin- reports that the mountain passes are cluttered with Ihe corpses of dead tribesmen, it is ueniiiilly known now that the Kahyle and other Moroccan tribesmen from the Kiff coast have completely routed the Spaniards. The fall of Melilla is only a matter of time and the driving out of the Spanish from t he country of Moors is looked upon now as inevitable. The Spanish batteries at Melilla continued bombarding the Moors to day, according to the advices, but un til they are dislodged from Mount Guruga, which is 3,0(10 feet high and dominates the entire peninsula, the slpniiish troops face aniitliilutlon. To accomplish this a force of 25,000 men will be necessary. Facilities for treating the wound ed are totally inadequate. A theatre in Melilla has been converted into a hospital and many wounded lie in the streets. Details of the fighting on July 23, when more than 400 Spaniards were killed, reached here today. The Moors nmbushed the Spanish column in the Aflor Rvine, cutting up the cplunin and sending them In retreat to the Spanish gunboat Martin Alonzo Pinsstou and tho Melilla forts.

' ( By Leased Wire to The Times) White Plains, N. J., July 28 That Evelvn Nesblt Thaw's presence in the court room where her husband, Harry K. Thaw is fighting for his freedom, is the result of a prearranged plan on the part of her and others inter; ested in keeping Thaw in a mad house was the charge made today Dy one of Thaw's closest advisers. Thaw is enraged and has directed Lawyer Morschauser to have her excluded from the court room. . v , According to this information while Thaw Is being subjected to the heckling of Jerome arid his alienists she is to occupy a position , in tne oom that will give her a full yiw of her husband and at the same time af ford the latter no chance, to . avoid cmfiiitflr Hat cava hv tnralnc his Md.

To sustain this contention the ac tions of Evelyn Thaw in the court room yesterday are cited. Her obvi ous attempt to catch the eye ot her husband and out-stare him, her whispered half-sneering comment upon the testimony, audible to but few in the room, but easily interpre ted by Thaw, her frequent consulta tion with Dan Murphy, Jerome's as sistant, and her promise to be on hand during the remaining days Of Thaw's ordeal, are all given as basts for the charge. Evelyn has sworn that Thaw has made a threat to kill her as soon as he is released, she had declared un der oath that she fears he will carry out. his threat If he gets his freedom and she has expressed her desire that his efforts in that direction fail. It was said today that the booklet, pub lished under the title "secret un veiled", by Mrs. Thaw, mother of Harry K. Thaw, Is having an enorm ous sale. The crisis of Harry Thaw's fight for liberty was reached thlB morning when he was called to the stand to be examined as to his sanity. At exactly 9:45 o'clock, the time set by Justice Mills for the opening of court, Thaw, his mother, sister and his half-brother, Josiah Thaw, and wife, arrived. District Attorney Jerome and those assisting him, came in at 10 o'clock; Justice Mills a min ute later. The usual exchange of greetings between Thaw and Jerome waa omitted. Thaw was looking straignc at the marble front and gave no no tice of being conscious ot Jerome's presence. Jerome took one glance at 'inaw and finding him non-communlcatlve,. busied himself preparing his papers for the beginning of business. - Dr. Isham G. Harris, assistant su perintendent of the Hudson River. state hospital for insane at Pough- keepsie, was recalled and at the re quest of Mr. Morschauser read a re port of the history of Harry Thaw given him by Mrs. Thaw, mother of the relator. Mr. Morschauser said he would later call Mrs. William Thaw to the stand, - i Thaw was called at 10:07. He made a good impression at the start, answering all Jerome's questions in a clear voice but-taking plenty of time to carefully weigh the import. Jerome asked at the outset: ,t4 "You understand the natureTof these proceedings?" "Yes, to find out Jl I am properly in prison. ; "Why are you In prison" . "Because when he jury acquitted me.
