Indianapolis, June 2S.-Former May
or Taggart returned yesterday from
New York, where he attended the TIL
Gen Club dinner, and announced that
he is for Hill for president in 1904, and

Steel Litiaation Beains.

Trenton, n. j., June 2S.-Argument In
the suit of Mrs. Miriam Berger against
the United States Steel Corporation to
restrain the conversion of S200,000,000
worth Of preferred stock into a like
amount of bonds was resumed in the
court of errors. Counsel for Mrs. Ber-
ger made an exhaustive argument and
was closely questioned by members of
the court. He contended that the act OF
1902, which was passed last winter, to
permit the company to carry out its
purpose was clearly unconstitutional,
and that no right existed under the
general corporation act to reduce the
preferred stock of corporation with
out payment for the same in cash; that
the present plan of substituting bonds
for preferred stocks was AN injustice
to those holders of preferred stock that
had not been substituted. Counsel for
the steel corporation will conclude the
argument.

Nothing Accomplished as to Philippine
Bill Yesterday.

Bill Yesterday.
Washington, June 2S.-The conferees
of the two houses Of congress on the
Philippine civil government bill held
their first meeting at o'clock yester-
day and adjourned at 6 o'clock without
having disposed of any of the import
ant items of difference. They took the
bill up for discussion in regular order,
first acting on the bill of rights and
then considering the matter of the ju-
dietary system provided for the islands.
The bill of rights as agreed to by the
senate was accepted and a portion of
the house provision was added to it.
There was Encouragement of the senate
court provisions and the house provi-
sion granting appeals from the insular
courts to the United States supreme
court only in cases involving $4,000 or
more was accepted. The conferees had
only entered on the question, of the dis
posal of the public lands of the islands
when an adjournment.was taken. There
is a difference of opinion between the
two houses as to the method of dispos-
ing of the lands, the house providing
for their sale and the senate only for
leasing of them when large acrcages
are involved.

CONGRESSMAN IN JAIL.
Representative Kern Of illinois Ar
rested in WASHINGTON.

| Washington, June 2S.-Another con-
gresham has enrolled his name upon
the blotter of a local police station.
This time the honor" has fallen to
a member from Illinois. In the early
hours yesterday Representative Fred
erick J.. Kern of Belleville, and his sec
rotary, Charles A, Karch, were placed
under arrest on Pennsylvania avenue,
in the heart of the city, and taken
TO a police station, where they We're
placed in cell No. and held until
released on colloteral.
The congressman and his secretary
had been out together during the eve
ming and had just left restaurant
when Mr. Kern violated the law. a
policeman whose attention had been
attracted approached Mr.. Kern and re-
monstrated. His advice was not ac-
cepted in the spirit offered.
The congressman and his secretary
were charged with disorderly conduct,
and an additional charge was pre-
ferred against Mr.. Kern for his first
violation of the law. After short rest
in a cell the prisoners relented, swal-
lowed their indignation and obtained
their release by depositing So collat-
eral.
When the cases were called in the
police court today the collateral was
forfeited, as neither Mr.. Kern nor his
secretary appeared to stand trial. They
both concluded that It was advisable
to remain absent rather than permit
the policeman to give evidence.
Representative Kern is a democrat
and represents the Twenty-first I'LL
nois district. He has been nominated
for reelection. He is SO years old and
few days ago made speech on the
Philippine bill containing fierce at
tack on King Edward of Great Britain,
which attracted great deal of at
tention. He also recently introduced
bill to give pension of $50 month
to each blind person. This is his first
term in congress-

The human heart, that most wonderful

fist. Yet in each twenty-four hours the
dual heart moves approximately six tons
of blood, equivalent to about two barrels

infancy to the last sigh of age. Is it any
wonder that when continued extra strain

DEMOCRATS COND[AN
The House Caucus Scores Re-
publicans for Failure Of
Cuban Reciprocity.
Charge That Republican Majority
Is Controlled by Trusts and
Monopolies.
Democrats Favor Change o
Antitrust Laws to Secure
Better Results.

Washington, June 2S.-A caucus OF
the democratic members of the house
of representatives, held last night.
unanimously adopted the following
declaration:
Resolved, First-That we condemn
the republican majority in congress for
their failure to pass Il measure provid-
ing for reciprocity with Cuba.
The bin which passed the house of
representatives was heartily supported
by the democratic minority, after the
protection to the sugar trust had been
removed by the solid democratic aided
by a small minority of the republican
members. AS it passed the house, the
bill carried relief to Cuba, reduced the
price of sugar to American consumers
and struck heavy blow at the notori-
Gus and obnoxious sugar trust The
refusal of the republican senators to
consider this measure unless the pro-
lection to the sugar trust should be
restored gives evidence that the presi-
dent and republican party in congress
are willing to refuse relief to Cuba and
totally ignore American consumers
rather than abandon their alliance with
the trusts.
The failure of all reciprocity legisla-
ton with Cuba rests upon the repub-
lican administration which is willing to
reduce the duty on the raw sugar of
our producers, but unwilling to destroy
the sugar monopoly.
"Second-That the republican major
ity in congress is dominated and con-
trolled by the trusts and monopolies,
which have the great industries of the
country in their grasp. as shown by its
action in passing an antitrust bill thru
the house of representatives in the
Fifty-seventh congress in the closing
hours of the session. the senate refusing
to consider the same as a subterfuge to
tide over the election of 1900. That bill
has been abandoned and they have
since refused and do now refuse and
fail to bring in any measure to suppress
the trusts or to favorably report any of
the numerous antitrust bills intro
duced by democratic members during
this congress.
'Third-That we favor the immedi-
ate passage of measure to amend the
present trust law so as to more
fully protect the trade and commerce
against unlawful restraints and mo-
nopolies. and also a measure to reduce
the duties on all articles and commodi-
ties manufactured and controlled or
produced in the United States by a
trust or trusts so as to destroy such
Illegal combinations, and to reduce the
rate of duty on any article or commod-
ity manufactured in the United States
and sold in a foreign country more
cheaply than in the United States.
"Fourth-We oppose the adjourn
ment of congress until the measures
above mentioned have been enacted
into law

Belleville. ILL.,, June 2S.-The news

sensation at his home here. The
effect was the more pronounced be-
cause nothing but good reports of Mr.
Kerns conduct in Washington had
been received heretofore. He was
considered even by his enemies to have
made a good record in congress, and
was regarded as being much stronger
than when he first made the race for
congress. His friends are distressed
and believe he has thrown away what
chance he had to defeat w. "A. Roden-

conduct is severely criticised privately,
