Washington. March Ex-senator AID
rich and Speaker Cannon had con-
ference with the President yesterday
respecting the legislation yet to be
enacted at this session Of Congress, and

RED WASTED WOMEN
EXCLUDED FROM TRACKS
Railroad Men Mistake the
Dresses OF Coal Pickers
for Danger Signal

Women wearing flaming red waists will
hereafter be excluded from the Pennsyi-
vania railroad tracks on the outskirts OF
the city.
OF late several Italian women that are
given to the wearing Of gaudy colors hav,
caused annoyance to the railroad men
One day last week as a woman was bobb.
ing up and down picking coal along tho
tracks she was mistaken by an engineer
on a limited express for a red flag being
waved AMI the train almost came to a
standstili before the engineer discovered
his mistake.
Several times freight trains have been
interfered with in this manner. until il
has become a nuisance that the railroad
men are determined to break up. On a
rapidly moving train it is difficult to dis
tingulsh at a distance between the gaily
decked women and the danger signals OF
the employees.

Against Impeachment

Gnlest. Of California. has prepared and
submitted for the minority a report
against the resolution adopted by the ma
jority OF the Committee on the judiciary
to impeach Judge swayne, of the North
ern District OF Florida for high misde-
meanors.
Mr. Gillett is authority for the state
ment that the report Will be signed by
himself, Chairman Jenkins and Repre-
sentatlves Alexander Parker and Little
field. Representatives Nevin. Thomas,
Warner ana Pearre were absent at the
time the vote was taken. but Mr.. Gnlott
believes they also VIII sign the minority
views, which would divide the commit
tee nine against eight for impeachment.
The report Of the minority attacks every
ground urged by the commi,tee OF Inn
peachment. 1t is claimed that Judge
Swayne had a legal residence within the
district OF his court. fhat his conduct or
bankruptcy cases was economical. that
he was within the law IN imprisoning GER
tain men for contempt and that his record
is clean.
The Senate Committee on Rules tomor-

by Senator Hoar in relation TO the i'm

ASSESSMENT ON
TASKER PLANT.
Counsel for Trust Submits
Estimates From Twenty
two Men on Its Value
BIDS OPENED FOR SAFETY GATES

At this mornings session Of the Levy
Court the assessment on the old Tas-
ker tube plant az New Castle. now
owned by the National Tube Company
was considered. Andrew t. Sanborn.
counsel for the Tube Company, appear
ed before the court week ago and
asked that the assessment be reduced
claiming It was excessive.
When the plant was Ia operation in
1899 Il was assessed at $4,000 and this
year the property was assessed at
S96000 Ii Is claimed by Mr.. Sanborn
that since the mill was shut down the
property has greatly deprecated and
/ that instead OF the assessment being
/ increased, It should even be less than Il
was when In operation.
Members Of the court, accompanied
! by the counsel for the company, visit
ed New Castle yesterday and viewed
the property referred to. Mr. Sanborn
explained to the court this morning
that he had often twenty-five OF the
best men who could be found to in
spect the property and give an esti-
mate as TO what it Is worth today. He
received letters from All these men and
the twenty-five estimates averaged
Si4.3n. The letters were all read by
Mr.. Sanborn and the estimates given
by the men who inspected the plant fol-
low:

The court win not likely take an,
? action ON the matter today. While tn,
i members an agreed from what they
, could see yestefday that the plant ha,
. greatly deprecated IN value. Il is un.
/ derstood that several OF. them do moi
favor much Of cut IN the present as.
sessment
IL was only shortly after the Taslxei
plant was purchased by the trust thai
Il was closed down and has remained
idle ever since. It Is argued by man,
persons that the trust has caused m,
depreciation IN value by allowing IN,
works to remain idle and that for that
reason the assessment should not be de
creased because the property is in ba,
condition.
