WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 8.—The senate met this morning at 10 o’clock for • what promises to be the longest and probably the most interesting session it has held this, season. The Democratic leaders are determined to press the tariff to its final passage, if possible, and they have decided to hold the senate in ses sion all night, if it appeals possible to force a vote. Just at this time Senator LaFollette, militant insurgent and long distance ora tor, is the principal obstacle in the way of a vote] He does not intend to fili buster to delay the bill, blit he has de termined" positively to have his say about two or three schedules of the bill. He himself is not informed as to licw much time it will t require for him to say his say. “I had a gOQd nights rest. aAd 1 am here for an all-night session,” remarked Senator Ollie James as he entered the capitol this morning. Senator Mai tin, of Virginia, agreed that the bill should be passed if possible tonight, and Sena tor Hoke Smith and other members of the finance committee encouraged this sentiment as much as possible. So far as the. provisions of the bill are concerned, it is believed that not an “I” will be dotted nor a “T” crossed, as a result of further consideration. The) measure was finally perfected Satuiday night, when it passed from the commit tee of the whole to the senate and the further consideration will serve only to allow certain senators to keep their records straight, through declamation against certain provisions and the in troduction of more amendments that are certain of defeat. WILSON JUBILANT. President Wilgon was in a happy frame of mind today, partly as a result of the tariff situation in the senate and the progress of the currency legislation in the house. Congressman Hardwick conferred at length with Mr. Wilson during the morning. They talked about the currency legislation which Mr. Hardwick opposed in the Democratic caucus. It is understood that the in terview wa s entirely satisfactory and that the president was well impressed with the motives that actuated Mr. Hardwick’s opposition and the character of the fight he made in the caucus. The Democratic bill introduced by Majority Leader Underwood five # months ago and passed by the house four months ago today may pass the senate before adjournment tonight. When the measure was called up early today by Chairman Simmons, of the finance committee, it was the inten The gunboat Des Moines is on the way there. The Des Moines is today at Guantan amo coaling for the run to Puerta Plata, where 3he is due tomorrow. Puerta Plata has been in the hands of the Dominican rebels ever since the latest revolution started, with the an nouncement of the governor that the state had seceded from all allegiance to the central government. The pret ent danger to Americans and their property comes from the attempt of the Dominican government to force the rebel stronghold to capitulate. Until the receipt of todays dis patch, state department officials had not thought the flare-up would be se rious.

Sept. 8.—Wil liam Travers Jerome stepped off the train from Montreal at noor., ready to appear in court this afternoon on charge of gambling, on which he was arrested last week. A small crowd greeted him in silence. Samuel Jacobs, K. C., of Montreal, chief counsel for New York state, ac companied Jerome. They alighted from the train almost directly beneath the window of the detention room where Harry Thaw is held.

Senator Dillingham’s amendment to .urn back each state’s income tax for good roads, with the provision that each state appropriate a like amount, was lost. / Foreign books were returned to the free list, as originally provided by the house. Senator Smoot moved to reduce the duty on cut, but not set, diamonds, pearls and other precious stones, from twenty per cent to ten per cent. He said that he would not object to the high duty were it possible to collect it and prevent smuggling. The senator held in his hand eight pearls, which he said cost $78,000. « The amendment was lost. Senator Norris, progressive republi can, called up his tax amendment pro posing a tax on inheritances, graduated from one per cent on $50,000 up to 75 per cent, on bequests exceeding $50,000,000. He said it was designed to break up immense fortunes. Senator Clapp, progressive republican, said he would support the amendment, although he believed the time had come when government should go further and not allow people of great wealth like the Astors “to take what does not be long to them from the people.” Senator Norriss took the case of Vin cent Astor to illustrate the effect of his amendment. - The younger Astor, he* said, did’ nothing to accumulate the for tune of $80,000,000 he received from his father. ‘‘Under this proposed amendment,” caid Senator Norris, “the tax Vincent Astor would pay to the government would be $43,799,500. He would then have more than $36,000,000 tipped into his lap a fortune made by millions of people'* of the United States, a fortune for the accumulation of which he did pot sweat a drop, a fortune accumulated without an effort of his hand or brain. Such a tax would not be robbing Mr. Astor.” face in Coaticook a gain.” It was with considerable surprise, there fore, that they heard Jerome’s counsel had put his case forward to today. James McKee, the aged justice of the peace who signed the warrant for Jerome’s arrest and flayed him in court when Jerome did not appear at the first hearing, had no part in today’s proceed ings. He was superseded by a district magistrate, H. W. Mulvena, of Sher brooke. Mulvena agreed yesterday to come here and preside. A. C. Hanson, joint crown prosecutor for the district, was in charge of the prosecution; Jacob Nicol, of Sherbrooke, crown prosecutor for the district, for the defense. This strange state of affairs de veloped out of Nieol’s aiding the New York forces in getting Thaw out of the Sherbrooke jail. He has since been iden tified with the anti-Thaw interests, and after denouncing Jerome’s arrest as an outrage, volunteered to defend him.' It has strained the relations between him and his associate, Hanson, but the latter had no alternative but to prosecute. Milford Aldrich, the mill hand com plainant against Jerome, got leave of ab sence for this afternoon, so that he could be in court. He said this morning that he had no sympathy with Thaw and had acted against Jerome because he thought it was his duty. 44 POINTS RISE WHEN General Rush to Replace Cot ton-Tax Bill Amendment Brought Rise NEW YORK, Sept. 8.—The cotton mar ket had a sensationally active opening today, with first prices 44 points above Saturday’s. There seemed to he a gen eral rush to replace cotton, which had been sold out on the break of last week.

MILLEN, Ga., Sept. 8.—The defense of Mrs. Edne M. Godbee, who is to be l tried this week for killing her divorced i husband, Judge W. 8. Godbee. and his young wife will be that her slaying was thoroughly justifiable in the eyes of God and man; that ,the tragic end of his bride, Mrs. Florence Boyer Godbee, was merely an incident, almost an accident; that when she opened fire on Godbee. de termined to end his life, she did not In tend to slay his wife, but fired with no thought of where the bullets struck, so long as at least one of them went, true. One .of the most remarkable defenses ever advanced in a court room in the south, or anywhere, and one that her attorneys are confident will bring about her acquittal, through letters Judge Godbee had written his wife. * The letters are in the hands of her attorneys, and a series of court records. They claim to be able to establish con clusively a motive that makes her Justi fied. The letters are beim. more care fully guarded, than any evidence in the case, but it is understood they will show an effort on the part of her late di vorced husband to deprive her of prop erty. And the other death, just ah "inci dent," as her lawyers will probably term It, was the act of emotionally insane— no motive, no anger, no resentment— just the result of an accident shot from a revolver fired by an outraged woman, who had but one object, a ruling "passion to kill a man, who she, at least, believed had wronged her. It will be a trial full of throbs and thrills, for when Mrs. Godbee takes the statnd she will bear her heart to the Jury, all her married life with Judge Godbee, the happy moments and the darkest hours will be given the Jury.. Will SENATE MAY SEAT CONGRESSMAN ROBBER IDENTIFIED BY GIRL RELEASED (By Associated Press.) v SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 8.—The army transport Buford will sail late today to gather up Americans in peril on the west coast of Mexico. The vessel will be in charge of Charles Jenkinson,' spe cial representative of the state depart ment. It. will .fly the Red Cross flag, as it is believed the ship will be better able to perform its relief-work Yinder that banner owing to the present temper of Mexicans than under the American flag. The Buford,- it is thought, will bring back between 500 and 1,000 Americans and probably a second trip will have to be made to accommodate all who wish to get away. Jenkinson arrived from Washington last Friday and has been busy loading the Buford with medicines nad stores and arrnging for the embarking of hos pital men and nurses and soldier guards. The trip is expected to last from four to six weeks. The first stop will be made at Manzanillo, oeptember 15. For several years Jenkinson was in Mexico, attached to the American em bassy. He recently has made two trips to Mexico to bring back refugees, land ing one party in Galveston and another in New York. “President Wilson,” he said, “intends that all Americans shall leave Mexico and having warned Americans to leave, there is nothing for the government to do but to provide transportation for them to their homes in the states. “Of the 10,000 Americans in Mexico when President Wilson issued his warn ing there probably will be less than 1,000 by the time the Buford returns to this port.” ROME, Ga., Sept. 8.—The identity of the assailant of Miss Belle Kirkpat rick, the telephone operator at Pied mont, Ala., still remains unsettled.

ANNISTON, Ala., Sept. 8.—A migra tion of squirrels is reported from Cherokee county by William Smith, father of John Smith, city convict guard, acocrding to Warden Wallace Wakely, of the Anniston city hall. As a consequence the people of that sec tion are becoming alarmed, as the squirrels are making inroads on their crops. in the neighborhood of Dirtcellar mountain the squirrel pest makes the boll weevil scare seem like an idle dream, Mr. Smith is quoted as saying, for they are not only stripping corn stalks of their roasting ears, but are attack ing the cotton patches and carrying off bolls by the hundreds. The fall of hickory* nuts on the mountain is likened to hail by Mr. Smith, who says he killed thirty-six nut eaters with a single barreled shot gun in a few minutes.

RICHMOND, Tex., Sept. 8.—The suffo cation of eight negro convicts in an underground cell on the state prison farm Saturday night, today aroused an investigation backed by the governor of Texas, the attorney general’s depart ment, the prison commission and local police authorities. Twelve negroes, as a punishment for laziness in picking cotton, were locked in this cell over night Saturday. Its di mensions are about nine feet by seven feet high. Its roof is double with air holes placed so that no two shall be opposite each other, i order not to ad mit light. There are six of these roof airholes and four in the floor, fed by pipes.
