their programme and agreed definitely to
carry out the proposed plan of removing
their headgear.
The members of the club are working in
harmony and propose to keep up the high
standard of the organization both in ad-
vance work and in up to date matters.
One of the principles of their work, and
considered as fundamental, is promptness.
Exactly on the minute of s clock Tues
day evening the programme will begin in
Golden Gate Hall, 625 Sutter street.
While the members of the club practice
promptitude they expect their invited
guests to do the same, particularly on
Tuesday evening
The removal of hats and wraps will be
optional with the guests, but they will be
politely requested to remove the same, and
IN order that no discomfort will follow the
members of the club who will act as ushers
are to conduct the ladies to the cloak
rooms, where maids will be in attendance
to assist in the removal of hats and wraps
and after the entertainment deliver the
same to the owner. Any lady who does
not wish to remove her headgear may keep
it on.
The box-office will be in charge of some
of the ladies of the club. 1t was decided
by the regents yesterday that hereafter
the Union Trust Company should be the
custodian of the clubs funds, which. by
arrangements with the company, can only
be drawn by orders signed by three regents.
This step does away with the Office of
treasurer.

Mrs. Clara Foltz, dean of the club, was
busy With arrangements for the entertain
ment, but took time enough to say:
tuesday evening we are going to have
the best entertainment ever given in San
francisco and it will be an innovation from
the fact that the ladies will not wear their
hats. 1t is shame that men should have
been deprived of the chance of seeing any
performance they attend because women
wear big hats, SO we, as representative
women, intend to show the men they have
some rights

are now preparing plan for course of

advancement. OF course we cannot have
regular college course, but the present
outline of the plan is to mark out work for
certain evenings each week. We will take

that in few years women will know some

THE MISSING NEBRASKAN.
What Attorneys Say Regarding Ex-
Treasures scott's Disappearance.

E OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 4.-In relation to the
Barret-Scott case. E. NJ. Bartlett, an Omaha
attorney, who was on SCOTS bond when he
was sued for the $4,000 shortage, to-day
said: when the motion had been made
by me to dismiss the suit there were muir
murs and threats of lynching Scott dur
ing the noon recess of court in Holt coun-
ty, in event the sureties should be released"
Mr.. Ba.stfett, in his argument in court,
called the attention of the court to the
fact that the evidence showed that the
county board had spent over 5000 in ex-
perts and attorneys fees before bringing
suit that Scott had offered to turn over to
his bondsmen and that they had offered to
turn over to the county, papers, cash and
securities of cash value of $4,000 or there
abouts and the sureties had offered on top
county board had rejected this offer and
voted N,000 more for attorneys fees When
this was stated in court there was re-
vulsion of feeling and 1t went against the
county board. Scott had been threatened
repeatedly since that time and had, on
arms to resist attack. A bitter political
feeling ran against Scott. 1t was asserted
he had bankrupted the county and that
consequently, the schools must close and the
soldiers relief fund go unspent.
Attorney Bronze, of this CITY,. who de-
Tended Scott in his criminal action, when
the trial came off in Antelope county, said
to-day in reference to the case that "a mis-
apprehension exists with reference to the
giving of the bond The Supreme Court
did not change the bond from $4,000 to
$4,000 reported After Scott's conviction
last fall we took the case to the Supreme
Court, when the $4,000 bond was required
as supersedeas bond to stay the carrying
out of the sentence for five years. The
$4,000 bond was already out of existence
though people not at Onen do not seem
to understand this
DO you think he is living yet?'' Mr.
Bronze was asked.
mo, don't think there could be any
reason for Scott leaving the country even
If he had not been under any bond. We
expected to get a reversal of the case in
the Supreme Court and have new trial
in Holt county. We made the point that
no trial could be held in Ante
lope county. The sentiment was such
that think people thought Scott could
never have been convicted in Holt county
and on this account he was killed. But
Scott has no reason for running away.
His sentence was very light any way and
by good behavior he could have reduced it
to three years. Then his bondsmen had been
released. so they had no interest in his
leaving"

Judge Buchwalter until assurance was
brought from the Governor of kentucky
and the judge of the court that Hampton
would be protected from mob violence and
would be allowed a fair trial. again
before Judge Buchwalter to-day for a
further hearing. The crowd in the court
room was SO dense that one attorney be-
came ill and had to retire, and the court
was compelled to clear the room. Mr.. Penn,
the agent of Kentucky, presented cor
rected copy of Governor Browns 1equisi-
ton and copy of the indictment against
Hampton. He said he had received no
letter from Governor Brown promising
protection, as required by the court, nor
had he any assurance from the trial judge
that a fair trial would be awarded. He
disclaimed acting as the employe of Mr..

test Against the Discriminating
Duty ON Sugar.
CONGRESS SLOW TO ACT
LITTLE PROSPECT OF REMEDIAL
LEGISLATION THIS SESSION.
Democratic Senator's Do Not Believe
the Tariff BiIl VIII lie Changed-
Appointments to Office.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The tariff war
between the United States and Europe
reached an acute phase to-day. As fore
shadowed last week the very first official
act of Mr.. Henglemuler, the new Austrian
minister, was the lodgment of a protest
against that paragraph in the sugar sched-
ule which imposes an additional duty OF
one-tenth of per cent. on sugar coming to
the United States from countries which pay
an export bounty it. This action was
taken to-day, and the ground taken by the
minister was similar to that which formed
the basis of the protest of Germany-than
the additional duty paid dscriminates
against Austria and is consequently viola
ton of the treaty of commerce with that
nation. No threat of retaliation accom-
panied the protest, but in this Mr.. Hengle-
muller is but following the example set by
the German minister. and the next step
will undoubtedly be in the same direction,
namely, the imposition of some restriction
on an American product that is imported in
quantities into Austria.
The four great sources of our sugar sup
ply, outside of the small proportion con-
trbuted by Louisiana, are Cuba Germany,
France and Austria. With three of these
countries we already at odds over the
sugar duty, and in the case of France there
are already indications of the adoption OF
a retaliatory policy in the imposition of re-
strictions on our meat trade and the inn
portaton of American wheat and flour.
This whole subject was under discussion by
the Cabinet to-day, and as far be-
gathered the outcome that If Con-
gress fails to come to the relief of the
executive by the removal of the duty which
is supposed to cause the trouble, then re-
sort must be had to retaliation, which will
either open European countries to our ex-
ports or close our own ports to all European

STORY OF LABORERS
ALLEGED INHUMAN TREATMENT ON
THE NAvAsSA ISLANDS.
Diseases-Charges Denied by
Their Employers.

BALTIMORE, Md, Jan. 4.--Attorney-gen-
eral Olney, having ordered United States
District Attorney Marbury to thoroughly
investigate the charges of inhuman treat
ment of laborers on the Navassa islands,
the testimony of Don Abrams, a native of
Great Briatin, and John Devine. of New
York, was to-day taken The story told
by both men is as follows:
For two weeks after arriving on the
island we had ordinary food, the kind a
laboring man requires, and then it gave
out. After that we subsisted on salt horse,
bread without salt and rain water. We ex-
hausted the store supplies, buying every
thing in the place, and then went to SUI
perintendent Shields and told him that we
wanted to leave and would leave. He said
that he had written to the company several
times and explained the condition of af-
fairs, and that deaths We're constantly oc-
curing. He had received no replies from
headquarters, and could do no more Dur
ing the short while we were there ten men
died from lack of food and bad food. 1t
brought about scurvy and other diseases,
and their deaths were horrible to witness.
The disease would begin at the feet, with
a swelling, which rose to the neck and then
choked the victims, bodies bursting some
times before death ensued OF the seventy
nve men returning on the bark W. S. Pat
terson thirteen died en- route and were
buried at sea. While at sea the Patterson
sprung a leak, and all had to take
turns pumping the water from the hold to
keep from sinking. although we were sick
and weak. We had to put in at Lewiston,
Del, for repairs and food, and then con-
tfnued ON to Perth Amboy, N. ]. On the
trip back our sole food daily was one piece
OF bread, one slice of meat and three pints
of water. On arriving at Perth Amboy we
were each given a dollar before going
ashore, in order to escape the pauper laws,
and ticket to Baltimore. We got off the
train more dead than alive, and were stag
gering along Pratt street, weakened and
sick, when q policeman stopped us and took
us to the Maryland University Hospital"
Captain Forbes, in behalf of the Navassa
Company, said. Abrams was taken sick
shortly after leaving here, was i'll during
the entire trip and while on the island,
was fed and nursed by the Navassa people,
and came back in the same condition. De-
vine would not work, and was considered
a striker
John H. Fowler. vice president of the
Navassa Phosphate Company, called on
Mr.. Marbury and denied that the men had
been subjected to the hardships they COM
plained Of number of men who had
worked on the island also denied the alle-
cations, and stated that they We're always
supplied with sufficient food and fresh veg
etables while there Mr. Fowler said the
men did not have scurvy, as stated, but a
disease known as .'peri-beri." the symptoms
of which are similar to those of scurvy.

NO TARIFF CHANGES.
Little Prospect that the Law VIII Be
Corrected This Session.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Senators Cock
rell, German and Jones, Democrats, and
Senator Allison, Republican, held an in
formal meeting to-day to discuss the pros
poets of correcting the present tariff law
by amendments to the urgency deficiency
bill. Mr.. Allison, who is a member of tha
finance committee, as we'll as the appro-
priations committee, asked to be pres
ent because it was believed that he would
know the sentiment of the Republicans on
the subject. After the conference 1t was
stated that no attempt would be made
to make the corrections. 1t was understood
that Senator Allison rather guardedly ex-
pressed the opinion that the Republicans
would not look with favor the amend
ment scheme and while he did not under
take to speak for all of them he gave
1T as his impression that such propositions
as has been advanced by the Democrats
would not meet with favor The Democrats
who had assembled at the informal con-
ference gave 1t as their opinion that there
would be no effort made to pass any tariff
