THE REDUCTION
FAR TOO SMALL
Minority Recommends Reduction of
War Taxes by at Least
Seventy Millions.
{By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-The views Of
the minority members of the Ways and
Means Committee on the bill reducing
war revenue taxes about Sio,G00,GGe was
completed and made public late this at
ternoon. 1t is signed by the entire Demo-
cratic membership of the conmitte"-
Messrs. Richardson, of Tennessee: Swan
son, of Virginia: Mcclellan. of New York:
NewIands. of Nevada. Cooper. of Texas
and Underwood. of Alabama.
The report says the proposed reduction OF
revenues is too small. and that the bill
does not go far enough in relieving the
people of the burdens imposed upon them
for purposes

are unnecessary and should be removed.
The minority take issue with Secretary
Cages estimate of $26c0N.OG0 surplus in
1902 and say that if Congress observes
proper economy in expenditures the sur
plus ought to be S10a, 10000

eve shall not oppose the passage OF the
bill. for it gives some relief, but will en-
deavor to properly amend it. The serious
objection is that the burdens OF taxation
throughout the country are unJtfstly dis
tributed This being true, of necessity the
the revenues collected are ine1ultable.
The report continues:
eve favor an alteration of the present
tariff laws, certainly TO the extent that
they have promoted monopoly. 1t has

before the Industrial Commission ap-
pointed by Congress. that many of the
powerful trusts that have an absolute
monopoly of their business in this coun-
try and that exercise their power de-

NORtCi.4r>, Va, Dec. Io.-Forner Polio
Captain Michael H Prince, who. in Au
gust last. shot to death his former friend
Charles j. Cannon, was to-day arraigned
for the trial before Judge Edmund Wad-
dil. OF the United States District Court.
THE PRISONER
Prince, calm. collected, close shaven,
neatly dressed, handsome. came into court
in charge OF Marshal Treat
he showed no more trepdation than he
did on the summer day when he put his
arm about Cannon'S neck, stepped aside
with hin and after a few words, while
standing the lot adjoining the United
States Custom House, which lot is owned
by the Government, he shot him five
times.
THE CAUSE.
Prince, as is now known, suspected Can
non of intimacy with his wife. Mrs.
Prince. and had, as is now known, seen
letter from Mrs. Prince to Cannon. in
which she asked that he send her some
money
The defense contended that the shooting
occurred United States Government
property. but that Cannon died on State
property. We contend" said Mr.. Wilcox.
that IL the deceased died on State proper
ty. the State Court has right to try the
case.
Mr. Thorp said they had authorities that
would sustain them all the way through.
II thought said MI. tThorp, chat the
District Attorney would surrender on the
points II never have yet surrendered.
retorted Mr.. Allan, which caused some
amusement

dent Garfield The fatal SlsClt was fred in
the Union Depot at Washington, and the
President died in New Jersey. AT the
trial. said Mr.. Alan. "the question OF
jurisdiction was raised. and so persistent
were counsel that after the Judge of the
Supreme Court of the District of Column
bia had declined TO interfere in the ease
as regards a new trial, on the day before
the execution, attempt was made TO
secure writ of habeas corpus from the
Judge of the Supreme Court OF the United
States. The point in that ease is Identical
with the one before Your Honor. 1t does
not matter, according TO eminent authority
where the death OCCURS. it is where the
fatal blow is struck.
MIR Thorp, of Princes counsel. followed
the District Attorney in a long argument.
