THAT THE TARIFF MEASURE WILL RE PASSED WITHIN THE WEEK—MANY SPEECHES AHE SCHEDULED FOR TODAY. (By Associated Press.) Washington, April 28.—The final day of the generate debate on the tariff bill la the House was enliv- ened by the rush of speech-making,! they were separated. as most of the members had held back, with the aim of getting larger audience with the closing of the debate. Democratic Leader Underwood Is unchanged in his view that the bill will be disposed of in the house within a week from today; that the sugar schedule will not likely offer much real trouble; and the hope that unless the fight of the anti-free wool advocates spreads, the bill will emerge from the Senate substan tially unchanged. Representative Rainey, of Illi nois. who Is In charge of the agri cultural schedule of the bill as a member of the Ways and Mean3 Committee, Representative Victor Murdock, of Kansas, the leader of the Progressives; and some “big- gun” Republicans were on today’s program. Mr. Rainey declared that a revis ion would mend the alliance be tween the protected woolen mills of the East and the wool producing states of the West. Mr. Underwood, who is the fram er of the bill, contends that the Un- nlted States is entirely within its rights In the provisions of the bill, against which the foreign nations have protested, and the five per cent tariff preference on goods imported in American vessels, which clause was designed to encourage the building of American ships, he be lieves violates no treaty. The French protest is against the rovision, requiring foreign manu facturers and exporters to submit their hooks to United States agent* ■ hen demanded. This will be used nly when there is reason to sus pect that the goods are underval ued, and not to try to learn the nanufacturer’s secrets, explained Mr. Underwood. Representative Payne defended th« Payne-Aldrich tariff law and de- lared that the Underwood bill, as a tariff for revenue measure was a ’•signal failure.” Is, therefore, no danger, of further completing the delicate situation at Pekin, as a result of the conference of the five-power loan, and the fric tion between the President aiu| his cabinet on the one side and the pow erful Radical party in the Assem bly on the other.

Missouri State Supreme Court Ren - tiers Important Decision. (By Associated Press.) Atlanta, April 26.—The foulest murder that has stained the pages of Atlanta's police records in many a year was discovered yesterday when the body of an unknown white girl, blonde and rather pretty, ap parently not over 17 years of age, was found In a basement on For syth street, with a rope around the neck. The cellar had been the scene ot a terrible struggle. The girl's clothes were torn. There were ratches on her hands, and she had been struck a heavy blow on the head with some blunt instrument. The police are inclined to believe hat the rope was put around the girl’s neck simply as a blind, to suggest that she had perhaps com mitted suicide. The rope was cut, and In another piece was fastened to a beam aobve. A handkerchief was knotted around the girl’s neck, and the e*nd of the rope fastened to the Handkerchief behind. Near the body were found two * notes, pencilled in different hand writing. One note reads: ’A negro hired down here did this. He push ed me down that hole. A long, tall negro, black, that had It (woke?) I write to people wit hme.” The second note was written in pencil too and told of some one who said he loved the girl. It was partly illegible. The police have arrested Newt Lee, the watchman at the building, but the measure was more precau tionary than anything else. They are inclined to believe at this mo ment that the notes, the rope and every other supposed clew are sim ply decoys put there by the real murderer or murderers to divert suspicion. Further investigation today has developed the fact that the girl’s name was Mary Hogan, and that she was an employe of the pencil factory which occupies the building at 37 South Forsyth street, where the body was found.
