President and Congress to Be in
Harmony as to Tariff
Revision.
NO QUARREL POSSIBLE,
DECLARES ROOSEVELT
If He Can, He Will Bend Repre-,
sentatives-If Not, They
Prevail.
By w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Jan. 10.-There' is moth
ing in existing conditions to warrant
the report, widely circulated today, that
the president and congress are on the
verge of an open rupture as result
of differences over tariff amendment.
The president s position is very clear
and has not changed. He declares ex-
plicitly that it is impossible for con-
gress to break with him, for the rea-
son that it takes two to make quar-.
rel, and he does not regard the tariff
as a subject about which he and con-
gress can quarrel.
Not Moral Issue.
He does not consider the tariff amend
ment moral issue. He says to all call
ers that he looks on this question as
one of economic and political expedi-
ency. 1t is question Of doing what is
best for the business interests, for the
revenues of the treasury and for the
record Of the republican party.
He thinks the people will look to a
republican congress to amend certain
tariff schedules. He believes good faith
requires the republicans to make good
the promises of the campaign. He con
siders that American commerce will be
aided in securing foreign markets, and
creased while certain monopolies will
be curbed or given less oppressive pow
er. by three or four changes in the ex-
listing schedules.
Must Show Good Faith.
The president will continue to urge
these points on the attention Of con
gress. But he will not call congress in
extra session unless there is a reason
able prospect that something will be
accomplished. He says explicitly and
emphatlcally to every caller that he
will not call congress in the spring if
the leaders want fall session. He
will not permit break in the party
1t is true that the opposition to an
extra session, and to revision in gen.
eral, has become crystallized since the
conference Saturday. Speaker Cannon
has permitted his views to become
known to many more members, and GER
tain congressman formerly on record
as favoring revision have trailed into
line.
Tawney Polled House.
Representative Tawney, as the repub-
found a majority of the house favorable
to revision. Since then he has found
many changes. The Nebraska delega-
tion has Topped and it is. thought that
q number Of other states have decided
to take cover under the speaker views
If the speaker can command sufficient
following in the house to make it appear
that the majority is favorable to his
standpat views, there will be no re-
vision of the tariff. -
On one thing all are coming to agree
If there is to be revision, it must come
In the spring. ,s~

Washington, Jan. l0.-Colorado and
South Dakota have been added to the
list of states where there have been ex-
tensive land frauds, and where rigid in
vestigations will be made by the in
terror department.. Several members Of
congress have called the department g
attention to conditions prevailing in
these states, and agents will be sent
there to examine the charges.
There are now six states in which in
quiries are being prosecuted by the in
terror department-Ca lifornia, Colorado,
Oregon, Idaho, Montana and South Da-
kota., The operations in Colorado and
South Dakota are on the same general
line as those in Oregon.
The Investigations in each state have
been started by senators and represen-
tatives who have received complaints
and affdavits from their constituents
and these have been turned over to the
department. So many public men have
become interested in these investiga-
tions that there is now considerable
discussion as to the expediency of hav'
ing congressional committee take the
whole matter up. It is proposed that
such committee, review the various
land acts and conduct an inquiry into
the alleged wholesale violation of

stats Will Swear Brooks.

{ The greatest surprise will be the
3culmination gof the state Is case, the
swearing Of Asa P. Brooks Of the New
Ulm Review as the last witness for the
prosecution. He will swear that the
man whom he saw in DR.. Gebhard's
office was not DR.. Koch, but the state
will probably try to break down his
statement into an admission that he
might be mistaken.
Of course, General Childs would much
prefer to leave Brooks off the stand,
but he cannot do it on account of an
old rule of the common law which for
bids the, state from bringing prose,
cution for murder on circumstantial
evidence when there is an eyewitness
to the crime who has not testified. So
he will swear Brooks and take his
chances Of the testimony, which will
undoubtedly favor the defense.
Professor Carel Of the University of
Minnesota, the chemist who examined
the contents Of the poison bottle sent
to DR.. Gerhard, will testify that the
bottle contained strychnine. DR..
Strickler has already sworn that he
lost some strychuine,

These developments have come with
startling rapidity and with increased
force Of climax until even Koch g
nearest friends are willing to admit
that the outlook is not cheering. They
say that General Childs has made good
his promise to make out a strong cir
cumstantial case against the defendant,
and if the defense is not able to break
1t down, there is only one thing before
the accused man, the gallows.
The defendants attorneys are cheer
full and say that the case is not stronger
than they had expected and that it will
be istle trouble for them to overcome
the testimony. They only bit that they
consider especially damaging is that
Of Elmer Hoidale, that Koch used rough
terms in speaking Of the dead man.
The witness could not remember the
circumstances and Koch has entirely;
forgotten about them, 80 that it is inl-
possible to tell whether it was res

feeling Of intense hatred.

EVIDENCE AS TO
MURDER MOTIVE
State Shows that DR.. Koch Cher.
ished Hatred Toward the
Dead Man.
CALLED HIM A VILE
NAME BEFORE WITNESS
Direct Testimony that Koch Had
Pencil Like the One in
Gebhard's Office.
Prom : STAT Correspondent.

New Ulm, Jan. 1O.-If the defense
thought that the avalanche of testi-
mony that fell upon them yesterday
was not to be continued this morning
they were Disappointed, for when court
opened General Childs renewed the as
sault by introducing testimony that was
even more startling than that which
was brought In yesterday. He opened
by swearing Ole Ulen, Hanska farmer,
who testified that as long ago as June
or July, 1903, DIR. Koch had told him
that some one would kill DR.. Gerhard.
This was followed by Elmer Hoidale,
with statement to the effect that Koch
had said that Gebhard was a double.
The plan Of the trial laid out by Gen
eral Chlds was good one. Opening
with the circumstantial evidence that
Koch was in the vicinity Of Gebhard 8
office few minutes before the murder
was committed, and the fact that
handkerchief bearing his initials and q
lead pencil, such as he is known to have
received half an hour before the MUIR
der, were found in Gebhard's room and
that there were injuries on Koch's
hands the day after the murder, he
then showed that the poison package
received by Gebhard was addressed on
g machine kept in an office adjoining
Koch g.
Then he followed with the damaging
testimony of two witnesses which went
to show that Koch cherished Ill feelings
toward the dead man.
