SENATORS DISCUSS COAL
POINT AT ISSUE IS REMOVAL OF
q DUTY.
Senator Lodge Favors Suspension of
Duty on Anthracite for
80 Days.

Washington, Jan. 6.-When the SEN
ate reconvened today after the holt
day recess few senators were absent.
AS soon as the senate met Mr.. Hoar
Of Massachusetts gave notice that he
would address the senate tomorrow
on his antitrust bill. Almost imme-
diately a discussion began regarding
the coal situation. Mr.. Lodge an
nounced his introduction of a bill sus-
pending for 80 days the duty on coal,
with the statement that in New Eng
land there was much distress owing
tc the scarcity of coal, and that IN
less relief was afforded at nee a num-
Der of factories would have to be shut
down.
In introducing this bill Mr.. Lodge
said he was aware that such a meas
ure must originate in the house, but
he desired to call the attention of the
finance committee to existing condi-
lions. In his section there was great
suffering for lack of fuel, and many
factories might be forced to shut
down. The duty of 81 cents on an
thraeite coal, he said, could be remov-
ed for 90 days without injury to the
coal producers of the country.
Mr.. Culbertson followed with a res
olution providing for the removal of
the duty on anthracite coal and ask
ed it's immediate consideration. Mr..
Platt of Connecticut objected, saying
it was his understanding that there
was no duty on anthracite coal.
Mr.. Vest took exception to this
statement and said that the board
of general appraisers and President
Roosevelt had decided that such a
duty is imposed. Mr.. Vest also in
troduced a resolution on the sub
ject.
Another resolution bearing on the
subject of coal, introduced by Mr..
Jones of Arkansas, recited the charge
of w. r. Hearst that there was an H.
legal combination among certain rail
roads to control the shipment of an
thracite coal, and called on the al
torney general for the evidence which,
it was alleged, had been secured by
him: 1t caused a lively debate, in
which several republican senators
vigorously resented what they thought
was a reflection on the attorney gen
eral. The discussion continued UNI
til 2 O'Clock, when the resolution
went over, being displaced by the
omnibus statehood bill.
Mr.. Nelson of Minnesota addressed
the senate in opposition to the bill,
and favored single statehood for
Oklahoma and Indian Territory. Mr..
Nelson had not concluded his remarks
when, at $3.50 p. M. the senate went
into executive session and shortly at
terward adjourned.

HEARING GOES OVER UNTIL
NEXT TERM.
MAKE CHARCEOF PREJUDICE
Defense Submit Affidavits Supporting
Allegation That Fair Trial Now
Would Be Impossible.

From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
L. M. Hayden will not be tried at
this term of the district court, Judge
Loud late yesterday afternoon hav-
ing granted the motion of the defense
for a continuance. This time the mat
ter came up in regular form. The
motion was made in writing and was
supported by the afidavits of the de-
PENDANT and his attorney.
+ In the motion it was set forth that
it would not be safe for the defend
ant to proceed to trial at this term be-
cause of prejudice and unprepared-
ness. Corroborative of this were the
two afidavits. They alleged that
much prejudice existed against the
defendant and hat because of such
prejudice it would be extremely diff
ficult to secure a fair and impartial
jury; that although he had acted
as counsel for the accused at the
coroner's inquiry and at the prelim-
mary hearing, the attorney for the de-
PENDANT had not been regularly re-
tanned as his lawyer until December
80, 1902, and that since then the time
had been so short and the attorney
so busy that he found it impossible to
| prepare the case as it should be to
warrant him to go to trial. 1t was
further alleged, in support of the
| charge of prejudice, that shortly be-
fore the special election held Deem
Der 20, 1902, Gerald Panton and n
Mcbride, father of J. p. Mcbride, for
whose death defendant is held re-
sponsible, visited many of the saloons
of Billings and also went up the val
lew fomenting prejudice against the
defendant and S. F. Morse because the
latter had consented to become one
of the bondsmen of the defendant,
and that they had succeeded in so
fomenting prejudice against Hayden.
Another allegation was that the de-
PENDANT was without means to employ
! counsel and had none until December
80, when friends provided the means;
that Is out of Is of the jurors drawn
were residents of the city OF Bill
ings and of the valley between Bill
ings and Columbus, in which place
and locality the most prejudice now
existed; that if the case were con-
tinued until the March term much of
the prejudice now existing would
have died out and it would be safer
for the defendant to proceed with his
case, as he then would receive a fair
and impartial trial.
The prosecution resisted the motion
| strongly and insisted that the trial
be had at this term of the court.
Lengthy arguments were made on
both sides. At the conclusion Judge
Loud announced that he would grant
the motion and continued the case I'M
til the March term.
Objection was now made to one
of the bondsmen for the defendant,

A NEW CANAL.

Mr.. G. s. Babin, civil engineer
of Lafayette, La, has been ex'
hibiting to the people interested in
irrigation In this vicinity plans for
an irrigation canal to supply La
fayette, Acadia and Calcasieu par
ishes with water for irrigating pur-
poses from the Atchafalaya river,
says the Crowley Signal.
Engineer Babin's plan contem-
plates the construction Of a dredged
canal connecting the Atchafalaya
with the Teche, distance of about
eight miles. 1t is proposed to tap
the Atchafalaya at a point little
north east of Breaux Bridge and
connect with the Teche at the bend
east of the town of Gecko. From
this point the canal will follow the
bed of the Tecbe about four miles
to point just north of Breaux
Bridge. Here the water is to be
lifted into an irrigation canal. The
lift will be about twelve feet. -Four
miles west of Breaux Bridge, at
the bluff, it will have to be relifted
a distance of about fifteen feet.
From this point in can be carried
to the Mermentau river without a
relift.
1t proposed to make the dredged
canal between the Atchafalaya and
Teche 300 feet wide and six feet
deep and the irrigation canal 2o0
feet wide. Engineer Babin believes
the canal can also supply water to
the Vermillon in sufficient quantity
for the use of the rice lands de-
pending on that stream. Water
for Acadia aud Lafayette parishes
will be carried across the Vermilion
by fume.
Mr.. Babin has been working on
his project about eighteen months
and believes he has reached the
solution of the irrigation problem.
