congressman Interviewed on Silver
Law, Income and Bank Tax.
NEW York "a newspaper has inter-
viewed nearly all TIT mem bers of Con-
gress by telegraph Va tho following
questions: Sf
do YOU, with TIE present ipforma-
ton, favor the appcalef.thc Sherman sill
yer law2 3t
s.-Do you favor ss.eoms taxi
s.-Do you favd kt,e repeal of the
State bank tax2
Many of the ansMfrs deviatcd so far
from plain "yes,'oraao, "apd involved so
many quail ticationsI that no tabular
statement would hirly represct the
opinions they expressed. The important
facts shown are That te the first question,
''Do you with the present Information,
favor the repeal of the Sherman silver
law?" there are SO Representatives who
say, practically, 'yespwhile only 1s say
"no." OF the rest many who qualified
their answers so stropkly that they cannot
fairly be placed ia s;ic affirmative col.
umn, show plainly th( their inclinatious
aresin favor of rcpcal{ The sentiment of
tho lower house on hst question seems
to be overwhelming
On March 6, last There was printed o
table showing that the Senate stood for
repeal of the shernan Silver Law 50,
against repeal 80, mon -committal 10.
1t will be noticed that several
who were non-dpmm(staltken are
now in favor szsSl There
sc ms to be no doubt that nearly two
thirds of the Senate will vote that way.
The newer question of the income tax
develops IN interesting situation. Many
who speak freely as to the Sherman bill
evadc or ignore this question, but 45 say
squarely that they favor it, AZ that they
do not. The Southern and Western Con-
grcssmen are the most numerous advo
Gates of such tax.
On the State bank tax question the
opinion is almost as one sided as in re.
gard to the Sherman bill. Many dodge
it entirely, but 60 say positively that
they arc against repeating the tax, while
only 80 favor it."

The Verdict Was
Not Guilty

Standing room only was the rule In
the circuit court room today, when
Justice Cleveland, who had secured the
use of the court room to accommodate
the expected attendance, called the
court to order. The unusual interest
in a justice court case arose from the
fact that the first scene in the great
moral drama was about to be enacted.
Juries, drawn as far as possible from
the respectable element of the commun-
ity, were to be selected to decide a
question as to the guilt or innocence of
the women arrested last week on
charges Of keeping bawdy houses, and
as the result will show these juries
have decided that the accused were in
nocent. The first case called was that
of Fanny Marston. She, with the
others, was defended by Mr.. Winton,
while the state vas represented by
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Curtis.
After the evidence on both sides had
been heard, the case was argued on
points of law involved. Mr.. Winton
asked the court to instruct the jury on
as defined by the statutes, and hold
ing that general reputation could not
be admitted as evidence. Counsel
further held that the state would have
to show by direct evidence that the
accused kept such a place. After Mr..
Curtis and Mr.. Winton had INDUCED in
repartee to the silent amusement of
the spectators, His Honor charged the
jury and sent them to their delibera-
tions. These gentlemen-Messrs.
Hume, P. w. Weeks, o. f. Morton, M.
Wise, f. f. Blynn, and George Kaboth
after an absence Of a minute or two,
filed back into the court room and
handed in a verdict of not guilty.
The next jury ~impanelled consisted of
N. Bergman, w. F. Schiebe, c. Wright,
George Clutter and Theodore Bracker.
They were to decide the innocence or
guilt Of Belle Thorn. The evidence and
argument were in substance similar to
those of the preceding case, and the
verdict of not guilty was as
quickly arrived at.
Mrs. Baker was next up for trial,
and Messrs. o. F. Morton, A. ". AL
len, ]. Urquhart and Theodore Breaker
acquitted her after an absence from the
room of about two minutes.
Mr.. Curtis thereupon announced that
It was a hopeless case, and that as
juries had de~cddedthat there were nc
houses in Astoria he would
move to dismiss all the other cases. His
Honor made the requisite order and the
dropped on the first scene.
