DEMOCEATS WILL OPPOSE THE TARIFF BILL Washington, July 7.—The permanent tariff bill. as drawn by republican mem- bers of the house Ways and means com- mittee, took top place on the house cal- endar today, not to be displaced by other legislation until voted on July 21. The day was devoted to having it read paragraph by paragraph while members sat and sweltered without giving heed to the monotonous droning of a relay of reading clerks. Immediately upon adjournment, demo- cratic members held a conference at which, it was said, with “half a dozen; exceptions,” it was agreed that the party| should stand as a unit against the bill. A resolution was adopted at the con- ference declaring that the measure Yio- lated all principles and traditions of the democratic party, and reafirming the party's stand against a high protective tarift. 3 The reading had not been concluded when the house quit work for the day, and before general debate begins tomor- row the reading will be concluded and a rule adopted shutting oft all but a few general amendments and such others as may be offered by the committee. Outscanding in the first day’s work on the bill was the presentation of a minor-| ity statement by democratic members of the ways and means committee who charged that the republican tariff pro- gram would mean destruction of the na- tion's foreign trade, bring new hardships un the taxpaying public through the sys- tem of American valuation of imports and establish rates higher than hereto-| fors ever written. 2 The majority report and a dissenting| statement by Representative Frear of} Wisconsin, the only republican member | of the committee to break away from his| party stand, already had been laid before the members. The democrats in their report declared | tne bill to be a conspiracy to benefit “aj tew favorites at the expense of all hu-! manity,” and added that 'its adoption would mean an economic boycott against “ne whole world. “It would be superfluous,” the report continued, “to occupy any space in show- ng the intimate relations which bind to- gether the beneficiaries of this bill and the republican organization. * ¢ * * “When, therefore, we see in this meas-| 4gre the taxing power transferred to the men who subscribed lavishly during the campaign, we know at once that here ousiness’ is in full operation.” IRISH LEADERS TO CONFER WITH DE VALEBA blin, July 7.—(By the A.

London, July 7 (By the A. P.).—The Irish peace movement on the surface made no further progress today, but hopes remain high, mainly on account of the fact that General Smuts, premier of South Africa, is_taking such an active part in the negotiations, with an evident purpose to translate into practical poli- ties the king's message and exhortation for forbearance at the opening of the Ulster parliament. The king's evident and serious interest in bringing about peace is also a strong factor in the situation. His proffer of Buckingham, Palace for the meetings of the proposed conference points in the di- rection of a repetition of the peace ef- fort of 1914, when the home rule con- ferences assembled in the palace under the chairmanship of the Rt. Hon. James William Lowrther, then speaker of the house of commons. It is believed that if an independent chairman were appointed to the confer- ence now contemplated, especially Gen- eral Smuts, who is trusted by the Irish people, there would be a far greater chance of Mr. De Valera accepting the conference. It is probable, however, that nothing will develop definitely pending tomorrow’s Dublin conference between the Irish republican leader and the southern unionists. General Smuts will not attend this conference. According to latest information, Mr. De Valera is maintaining the republican claim but is willing to give the. Irish peo- ple full opportunity to decide upon any serious proposition. U. 8.

My God, my wite or- dered this done!” These exclamations were uttered by Mr. Kaber to Police Lieutenant L. B. Miller of Lakewood, upon the officer's arrival at the home soon after Mr. Ka- ber had been stabbed. called to attend the wounded man, said Mr. Kaber exclaimed to him. Both Lieutenant Miller and Dr. Quig- ley declared that Mr. Kaber made these statements while yet conscious and while he lay on the floor by the side of the bed in which he was attacked. This, together With assertions by two women witnesses “that Mrs. Kaber had told them ths she wanted her husband murdered, were the high points in the state's testimony today. Mrs. 'Mary J. Wade, an alleged me- dium, testified that Mrs. Kaber on the last of several visits to her, said: - “I want you to try to get rid of Dan Kaber for me.’ Asked by Mrs. Wade how she was go about it, Mrs. Kaber was alieged have replied: “I want you to kill him—any way get rid of him. The man, I love has to to to the little Patricia whom the Kabers had adopted, testified that Mrs, Kaber said to her: “I bate Dan.Kaber and am going to get rid of him within the next six months in_some manner or other.” The state also In an effort to substan- tiate its claim that Mrs. Kaber sought to poison her husband introduced ‘testi- mony of Pr. Ow=l ‘and Dr., Alfred Mashke along this line. Both physicians s« they had treated Mr. Kaber and asserted that he was suf- fering from neuritis and secondary aene- mia. Based upon a hyopethetical question sserting that an analysis of Mr. Kaber's ternal organs after his death disclosed the presence of arsenic in quantity “suf- ficient to kill four men,” both physictans said they ‘would diagmose the cause of soning. This hypothetical question was admit- ted by Judge Maurice Bernon only on the state’s promise to show by later tes- timony that an analysis of Mr. Kaber's organs showed the presence of the poison in the quantity alleged. Attorney Willlam J. Corrigan on cross- examination of the physicians sought to establish that the poison might have been absorbed from powders sprinkled over pared the body for burial, but Dr. Quiz- ley maintained that the poison could not have been -absorbed in this manner in such an amount as claimed by the state. The police officer also testified that he was the first person outside the Kaber household to arrive after the murder, having been summoned by Mr. Kaber's male nurse, F. W. Ulterback. He said the only persons in the house, except ther of Mrs. Kaber, Marian McArdle. daughter of Mrs. Kaber, and a girl friend of Miss MecArdle. Mrs. Maria Matthews, a palmist, tes- tified that Mrs. Kaber brought a large few days before the murder and later Mrs., Kaber gave her the articles. also testified that Mrs. Kaber brought murder, and asked that it be givén to ‘Emma”; that it was- delivered to ‘Emma” the next day, and that “Emma” opened it and displayed five hundred dol- lars in bills.

"It is not enough to teach men science. The great thing is to teach them how to use science. This is best done through eral culture. “We do not wish to be Greek. We do not wish to be Roman.

That purpose we know we can accomplish by continuing the process which has made us_Americans.” The vice president returned to Wash- ingtor. tonight, Dean Andrew F. West of Princeton University, president of the league, in his annual report today said there i more criticism of our teaching methods than of the intrinsic value of classical education. “Much of the criticism,” he continued, “is ignorant and unfair, but much of it is just.
