RATE BILL REPORTED.
Tiiinan Places Hepburn Bill Before
the Senate

Washington.-The Hepburn railroad
rate bill was reported to the Senate
Monday by Senator Tillman, in accord
ance with the action of the Senate COM
mittee on interstate commerce last
Friday. Large crowds assembled in
the galleries, anticipating a field day
Of debate, but were disappointed.
There was little of interest in the
proceedings regarding the bill. A brief
statement from Mr. Tillman that the
necessary arrangement for printing
the report would be made later, was
followed by a few remarks from Mr..
Aldrich, showing the position Of the
five Republicans who opposed the bill
as reported.
Mr.. Aldrich indicated that there
would be no unnecessary delay, but
that the bill would be discussed in ac-
cordanace' with its importance.
Mr.. Tillman decided that he was not
prepared to make formal report, and
that it would be more effective to sim
ply report the bill in accordance with
the resolution adopted by the commit
tee, which provides that the members
are left free to exercise individual
judgment concerning amendments
that may be offered in the Senate.

cHAFFEE COUNTY TRAGEDY.
David Morris Shot and Killed by I. p.
Wjthrow,

Denver.-A Buena Vista special to
the Republican says: l. P. Withrow
shot and instantly killed David Morris,
section laborer, at Newett, twelve
miles east of this city, about noon
Monday. Withrow gave himself up to
Justice Breithaupt, his preliminary
hearing was held at once and the homi-
eide was declared justifiable. Sheriff
Ankele with a deputy went to the
scene Monday afternoon.
Mr.. Withrow offered no resistance
and was brought here and lodged in
the county Jail. Sheriff Ankele brought
the body of Morris overland in a
wagon.
The cause of the killing, according
to Withrow, was a spree, lasting
nearly week, during which time,
Withrow says, bad feeling between the
two men steadily increased until
Sunday night when Morris, it is al
legged, openly stated to others in the
camp that he would kill Withrow.
The shooting occurred in Withrow's
house, little three-room cabin, and
was witnessed by three men, Phil
Hamilton, John Larson and James
Smith, all of whom were talking to
Morris when the fatal shot was fired.
They are quoted as saying that the
killing was justified and necessary.
The deputy sheriff says that appear
ances at the scene of the tragedy do
MT bear out this statement.
The dead man was sitting upright in
schair, with bullet hole from "A
calNer Winchester through his head,
the Nnly movement made after the
shot was fired being when his head
fell forward on his chest. The bullet
entered the right eye, passed out back
of the left ear and was embedded in
the wah
The movements of the little group
just prior to the time the shot was
fired are more or less shrOuded in
mystery, as no one seems to be able
to give connected account Of what
led up to the shooting.
Withrow's Winchester hung in an
adjoining bedroom over the bed. He
was compelled to leave the room to get
1t, and the only shot that was fired, the
officer says. was from the bedroom.
The dead man had not been moved
and sat in the chair when the officers
arrived. He was evidently engaged in
filling his pipe when killed. The
deputy says no weapon of any descrip-
ton was near him. A coroner's in
quest will be held.

cut cash clear acrcss his throat and
severed the windpipe. A surgeon was
hastily summoned and stanched the
flow OF blood. AS soon as practicable
thereafter he was dragged to the gal

The crime for which Conley paid the
penalty with his life was the killing
of James Redding and Charles Purdy
at the Guadalupe placer claims, near

No one witnessed the shooting. He
made plea of self-defense. Both Of
the murdered men were under the In

was also hard drinker but. according
to his own statement, he had taken no
liquor on that day. and this was not
disproved at his trial.

WONDERS OF COAL TAR.
Vanilla Extract One Of the Many Arti-

DO you know that majority of the
vanilla favoring used in the world 10
not made from the vanilla bean. but In
the product of tar? Do you also know
that there are now between 500 and
1000 articles of commerce sold in the
markets that are the product of that
same tar?
The questions were asked by Gardi-
ner c. Crawford, an American, who
has long been engaged in business in
Tahiti. who is stopping at the Savoy
hotel while en- route east. Mr.. Craw-
ford was in the business OF growing
and extracting vanilla in the island,
which was the principal product Of the
natives. but modern science put him,
as well as the native growers, out OF it,
The German chemists discovered that
product commercially called "vana-
line" could be produced from tar at
one-tenth the cost OF the natural va
nilla favor. 1t is as good az the nat
ural product and there was no compel
ing with that.
Mr.. Crawford says that tar is prov
ing a productive field for the chemical

have been made for the cure OF head
ache, but 1t will be surprising to know
that the experiments have been 10 ex-
tensive as to now include over 500
