 Ever since the discovery of radium and the manufacture of liquid air, people have been readier to believe that wonderful power can be stored in a very few grains of matter.

WRITES LETTER
ABOUT TARIFF
Secretary Taft Explains
Why Philippine Products
Should Be Free From Duty
PLEADS FOR JUSTICE
Says Importations From the
Islands Can Have No Ap-
preciable Effect on Markets

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2-Secretary
Taft has addressed to Chairman Payne
of the House Committee on Ways and
Means an exhaustive statement of the
motives which impel him to urge
earnestly on Congress the passage dur
ing the present session of the pending
philippine tariff bill. The Secretary 8
reasons are in substance as follows:
p, Whatever ultimately will be done with the
generation part Of the United States, and
there IS no more reason for tariff against
our Territories Under Spanish rule Philippine
sugar was given preferential rate of cents
per pound when imported into Spain. while the
spanish Government took all it's tobacco to

obligation to make good this deficiency. which

den and injustice to the Filpnos. Congress

wnen an internal revenue system applied to

revenue to enable them to have free trade
The opposition to the reduction of the duties
sugar and tobacco has been nursed by paid
professional agents circulating misleading and
unfounded statements, which has now de-
veloped a decided opposition to the bill by
the representatives OF all the sugar and to-
bacco interests OF the country. The entire

not appreciably affect the American market

The Philippines sugar land Is limited; is

is that the land will produce hemp.
corra and rice much moro profltably than
sugar and it is the height OF absurdity
TO suppose that even with free trade in sugar
with the United States there would be any
considerable increase in the Philippines sugar
product No Philippines sugar tobacco is
imported to the United States and only wrap
pers and filters are raised so there is no
danger of competition with the American pro-
duct. The total export OF Philippines cigars
to all countries was only 105 coo. 600. whereas
America produces 1000. 900. .0c0 cigars. that
the suggestion of competition Is absurd. A
30 per cent reduction of the tariff rates would
not do the islands the slightest good, has
been proved By experience with the 25 per cent
reduction.
The Secretary, in conclusion. pleads
for justice for the Philippines.

SICK ]URYMAN
DELAYS TRIAL
Special Dispatch to tn. Call.

AUBURN. Feb. 2.-The matter Of Sc
lecting juror to I'LL the place of Jury
man Berry in the case Of Adolph Web
er. accused of numbering his mother,
Mary Weber, was argued this morning
before Judge j. e. Prewett. BY consent
of the attorneys interested 1t was de-
cided to delay further action until Sat-
urday. The court instructed the other
jurors present that the case was post
poned until Monday morning, and or
dered them to appear at that time.
Judge Prewett then announced that
court would convene Saturday at p.
M, at which time 1t is hoped there will
be definite information from Berry or
his physician as to Berry's ability to
be in attendance on Monday. If the in
formation is to the effect that Berry
will not be able to appear he will be
released from service as juryman on
the ground of sickness. The court will
then issue a special venire, returnable
on Monday. Under the ruling of the
court both sides will commence the ex-
animation of the new talesmen, with
the same number of peremptory chal-
lenges as they had at the beginning of
the trial.
c. H. Reimer, detective engaged by
the prosecution, has made several trips
into the adjoining country and it is re-
ported has secured important evidence
for the State.
The cost of conducting the trial was
the topic of general conversation
among the taxpayers to-day. Leading
citizens say 1t will run away up into
the thousands of dollars, and they are
wondering what the tax rate will be
next year. At present 1t is 81 95 per
s100, but they anticipate that next year
it will be greatly in excess of that rate.

More Trouble for Railroad.

Although Judge Seawell has dis
solved the injunction of the Califor-
MIA Northwestern against the Peta-
luna and Santa Rosa Railroad Com
pany, in so far as the order applied
to the crossing on Railroad avenue
in Santa Rosa, the plaintiff company
has not given UP its fight to prevent
the rival line from crossing its tracks
at other points. Yesterday the attor-
neys appeared In court for another
hearing. declaring that the new road
was about to build across the North
western tracks on Sebastopol avenue.
The Northwestern claims to have
deeds to the street that were made
when the thoroughfare was a private
road. One of the deeds was produced
in court and in order that the other
may be exhibited the hearing was
continued for a week.

DELIGHTING ALL
THE MUSICIANS

Fascinating as the first, the second
of the Dolmetsch concerts drew many
more people to Lyric Hall last night,
though there was still much room.
Perhaps the most charming number
on the programme was a Sonata-for
three instruments-by G.. P. Teleman
(1740). 1t is throughout an exquisitely
graceful work, with an andante of
striking beauty. One remembers with
signal pleasure, too, the vinacious and
spirited finale. The sonata is for the
viola d'amour, viola da gambia and
harpsichord, and was played in ad-
mirably sympathetic fashion by Mr..
Dolmetsch, Mrs. Dolmetsch and Miss
Kathleen Salmon. One noted anew
the altogether delightful values of the
harpsichord .as accompaniment and
concert to the strings. 1t blends with
the string tone in fashion that makes
one greatly regret it's disuse, and to
hope that the rumor that the Stein
ways are persuading Mr.. Dolmetsch to
superintend the making of some of the
instruments may be true. We shall all
want one.
The programme throughout was
charming, and it is to be remembered
that there is another one to be heard
on Saturday afternoon.
