GERMANY'S AGRARIAN PARTY
It Would Gladly See Tariff War With the
United States.
Increase of Duty on Cotton Seed Oils
manufactured Claims Which
VIII Not BE Granted.

The claims Of the agrarian classes in
Germany are commented on in a report of
Special Agent Mates to the Agricultural
Department. The agent contends that they
would hail with joy tariff war with the
United States. 1.-THE agrarians." says the
report, well understand that our agricul-
tural products are becoming more popular
every year in Germany. In spite of the
many indirect and false attacks made upon
them. The German Industrial interests will
use all efforts possible to prevent altera-
other nations. More stringent regulations
in the food laws or stricter enforcement
are regarded as almost impossible"
The erection Of state grain elevators and
mills is another agrarian scheme, INTENDED
to better their own condition, no matter
at whose expense. This measure is equal
ly opposed by grain dealers. millers and
oreadpurshasng classes and the oiS,ai
says the report, is welcomed that creates
false impression about America among
the people. The agrarians are also de
handing an increase of duty on cotton-seed
oils, but oil manufacturers constitute the
principal advocates. According to this, the
duty is to be increased from % cents per
90 pounds to $3.50.
There are eight principal oil manufacture
ers located at Mannheim and other Ger
man cities who manufacture peanut and
sesame OIL and who claim that cotton-seed
OIL ruins Inclr business, tHOuSn Agent
Mates claims these factories make be-
tween and per cent interest on an origi-
nal capital Of $3,OO0OOO.
These oil manufacturers claim that mas
much as peanut and sesame oil pay a
duty of 81. 80 per go pounds, cotton-seed oil
should pay a like amount. This would en-
able the manufacturers to better compete
with the imported cotton-seed oil. Cotton
seed oil cannot be manufactured in Ger
many, but is imported from English col
onies and the United States of America
The Oil is used for technical purposes and
the manufacture of oleomargarine. An en-
ergetic protest against the measure Is pre-
dicted, as the poorer classes would again
have to pay the additional increase of
duty. The report concludes: "All the eff
forts Of the agrarians to bring about legis-
lation discriminative against foreign agr-
cultural products will be- futile What the
outcome will be relative to the prohibition
order against American live cattle and
dressed beef remains to be seen, but petit
tons are daily forwarded to the capital
praying for cheaper meat"

Justtce Brewer ON the Legal Status
and Progress of Woman.
Two hundred pairs of kid gloves were in
momentary peril of splitting yesterday
afternoon in the hall of Columbian Uni
versity during Justice Brewers lecture on
Women in Court" The audience was COM
posed largely of women, who were natu-
rally much interested in the subject JUS
tice Brewer handled his theme sympa-
thetically and amusingly. telling many good
stories and keeping his audience In con-
dnual good humor. He urged, in a plain,
genuine way, that woman was entitled to a
NO one can be insensible," said he, ''to the
fact that as respecting the sex there is
silently but surely going on a vast social
change. The place she is to fill in years to
come is one very different from that which
she has hitherto occupied. We often hear
the assertion that 1T is the glory of Chris
tianfty to have elevated woman; to have
opened before her many hitherto closed
door, and to have given her earthly life a
dignity because it has given it higher
value and a larger usefulness. One thing
that better Illustrates this change Is the
modification in the laws respecting her.
FOR the laws of nation are the evidences
Of the thought Of the nation and the prog
ress it is making in civilization and cul-
ture."
The old common law of this country and
England in reference to the rights of
women was compared with the present; the
husbands of a century ago were compared
with the husbands of today, to show what
tremendous gains had been made for
woman in life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness.
''The more closely" said Mr.. Brewer,

more of mutually in education, in toll, in
counsel and in business, the better for the
two. Hand in hand they went out Of Eden,
and hand in hand they must traverse the

Today.

Today.
Alexander Robar, q little man, who lives
near Accotink, Fairfax county. Va, had
his hair cut and whiskers trimmed, so that
he would look his best when he came here
yesterday to get his pension money. He
got hts check cashed, and he also got some
thing to drink. Having money. he found
no trouble in making friends, and one Of
his newly made acquaintances, 1t Is
charged, was Thomas Brennan, one Of the
strangers in the city who have been living
on the charity Of the Central Union Mis-
sion. Like many Of this class of persons,
he was willing to drink with the pensioner,
and then, 1t is charged, robbed him. A pen
knife, pocket book and silver watch were
the articles alleged to have been taken from
the pensioner, and Policeman David Ham
ilton had the alleged tramp in court this
morning on the charge of larceny from the
person. Witnesses were heard. and Judge
Miller held Brennan in $500 security for
the action Of the grand jury.
He was committed to Jail in default Of
bond. and Robar will remain here to pros
ecute the case.
Charles Watkins, another pensioner, was
In court to complain against Daniel Wha-
len, but he was go drunk yesterday that the
court had to rely on the testimony Of out
side witnesses. These men were together
at Pennsylvania avenue and Sd street yes
terday afternoon, and when Whalen was
arrested by Policeman Hartigan for at
tempting to rob the pensioner the prisoner
resisted and fought the officer nearly thirty
minutes before he received assistance.
There was no proof that Whalen actually
took money from the pensioner, and Judge
Miller gave him ninety days for having
made the attempt.
William, alias Monk" Robinson, was
also a prisoner accused of theft. It was
charged that he stole bolt of cloth from
in front of H. H. Hough's store, No. 1924
It'll street northwest, and the proof was
against him. AS he had been convicted be-
fore, the judge held him for the grand jury.
He was committed in default of security.

HAD A PISTOL.
A Dangerous Man Resisted Arrest in
South Washington.

South Warrington.
Last night while the colored people of
Anacostia were discussing the sad occur
renee of yesterday William Wright, a
South Washington colored man, did his
best to give Policeman Muller a dose of
the treatment given Reuben Foster by Po-
iceman Green. William Wright is a big
colored man, who is not a peaceable citi-
zen when sober, and last night when he
got drunk he went through Cullinane's al
ley and made an effort to have the houses
vacated. When he threw a missile and
struck a small child the women in the al
ley began screaming murder and ''po-
lice," and Officer Muller was soon on the
scene. The appearance of the stalwart po-
hceman was signal for general STAN
pede. and Wright and his companions de-
parted. 1t was learned that prior to the
brick throwing there had been trouble in
one of the houses and the officer waited in
the house some time to learn what he
could. While there the word was passed,
Hes outside" and the officer knowing
some of the alley population would warn
the outsiders started out to make an ar
rest Wright was standing near the door
and when the officer started out he
CWright) pointed a pistol at the officer and
said: You -, I'll blow your head off,"
Being taken SO completely by surprise
the officer stood for a moment and looked
at the man with the pistol Then he jump
ed to one side and made break for the
colored man. The latter was then unable
to shoot the officer, and he made an effort
to escape, but the officers club brought
him to the ground. Then the colored man
was placed under arrest and taken to the
fourth precinct station. Even then he had
no idea of being locked up, for as soon as
his name. age. residence and occupation
had been registered he made break for
the door. and would probably have reached
the street had not his head come in con-
tact with the club of an officer who had
just entered the building.
Three women and two men, colored and
the policeman appeared in court this morn
ing as witnesses in the cases of assault and
concealed weapons.
Notwithstanding the fact that the pistol
was dropped by the prisoner when the po-
liceman knocked him down, he denied that
he had ever had the weapon in his posses
sion.
But there were several witnesses who
saw him have the pistol, and one Of them
also said that he had a razor.
Judge Miller sentenced him to twelve
months In jail and fined him 500. or four
months additional

HE HELPED WILKES BOOTH.
Death of the Man That Assisted the
Assassin to Escape.


Thomas A. Jones, who was noted as the
man who helped John Wilkes Booth and
David c. Herold to cross the Potomac river
five days after the assassination OF Presi-
dent Lincoln, died at his home, in La Plata,
Md, last Saturday night.
During the war Jones owned farm on
the banks Of the Potomac, bounded on one
side by Pope's creek and standing on a
high bluff. Through connection with enoth-
er southern sympathizer on the Virginia
side of the river, Jones was able to keep
I'D communications with the other side.
and Jones' ferry became a very popular
rendezvous for those who desired to cross
the line. 1t was also used for the SNUG
Cling of mails to and from the south. Jones
also made a regular business of aiding the
blockade runners. A few years ago, after
keeping his secret for many years. he pub
lisled a book in which he described his
share in the escape of Booth. He told OF
the flight of Booth and Herold into Mary
land by way of the navy yard bridge, their
A. Mudd, near Bryantown, Charles county.
on the morning after the assassination,
and the setting Of Booths broken leg by
DR.. Mudd. who entertained the fugitives
until night. Booth and Herold left DIR.
Mudd's house, in the northeastern part OF
the county. Saturday night on horseback,
for the Pope's creek ferry. They went to
Col Samuel Cox, the foster brother of
Jones, who hid them and sent for Jones to
aid them in crossing to Virginia. Jones
gave them a boat and in other ways rem
dered them valuable assistance.
After the assassination Jones was arrest
ed and imprisoned in the old Capitol in
this city, but the federal authorities were
unable to connect him with the affair and
had to discharge him. Fer a number of
years after the war he held office either
under the state or general government. He
was employed in the Washington navy
yard. and was displaced during the Har-
rison administration. After that he was
made justice of the peace in Charles
county, which position he held at the time
Of his death.
