that the 50-cent reduction usually given

Washington, May 7.--The Senate COM
mittee on finance today authorized an

resolution looking TO a national guaranty
Of credit to San Francisco.
The report OF the committee said It
uas determined unanimously that the
relief plans "are without the legitimate
pmvince of Congressional action and,
therefore. that the appointment Of joint
committee TO consider their advisability
or practicability is ineXpedient. 1t does
not seem to your committee advisable
81 this time to appoint a committee to
consider other plans for national aid.
They. therefore report the resolution
adversely and recommend that IL be in
difnitely postponed"

 New Intermediary.
BY PATTERSON sTEALEY.

Washington, June 11.-(Special. .)-Thom- as H. Tibbles, who was the populist can- didate for vice president two years ago, has greatly encouraged supporters Of William J. Bryan by statement given out by him in which he expresses great doubt as to whether the populists will support Bryan in 1908. Tibbles says
 "The organization of the democratic party is wholly in the hands or wall street The organization is made up for the most part of the men who have al ways fought the principles of the popu- lists and there is no evidence that they have changed in the least Men who are earnestly working for reform will be slow to give their adhesion to Bryan or any other candidate as long as the party is in control of those who obtained the nomination of Parker.
 "There is another big factor looming up and that is Hearst. He has already or ganized several thousand men into work ing clubs in various states. He Is strongly for public ownership of public utilities but his programme has nothing to say on the money question in which all pop ulists are very much interested.
 "The populists will not support Bryan nor any other man unless they deem him reliable. His organization must clear ly be on the side of the people and against the corporations"

PATRICK MOTION
 IS AGAIN DENIED
DEFENDANT *rw PREPARED TO CARRY tIls CASE TO THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.

New York, June 11.-Recorder Golf to- day denied a motion for a new trial in the case of Albert T. Patrick, the con- victed murderer of William Marsh Rice
 Patricks lawyers. 1t Is said, were pre- pared for an adverse decision, and have the papers ready for an application to the United States supreme court for a writ of error and for writ of habeas corpus. These applications would again delay the carrying out of the death sem tence and would make the fifth post ponement for Patrick who has now been In the death house in Sing Sing for more than four years.
 Patrick will be an application to Cover nor Higgins for a communication of the death sentence.
 Recorder Golf in his decision denying the motion for new trial for Patrick de- clares that on no one of the grounds urged in the motion is there sufficient cause to grant g. new trial He believes that no matter what testimony Jones. the former valet of MT. Rice might give at a new trial, 1t could not have any effect upon the jury other than that which Jones' testimony may have ex- erted upon the jury which convicted Pat rick.
 Of the witnesses who testified at the recent hearing concerning alleged denials by Jones of the testimony given by him at the Patrick trial. the decision says:
 'It would be taxing human creduity to a point beyond forbearance to even ask twelve men in a jury box to give credence to the witnesses who have tes- tiled to the alleged admissions of Jones. Apart from the inherent probabilities of the stories, the trail of common de- sign and purpose was unmistakable.'
 As to the experiments made upon ca davers In the morgue by experts employed by Patrick upon which they based their contention that the use of embalming fluid would destroy the lungs for diagnos- tic purposes, the recorder says:
 "The conclusion is irresistible that these experiments were not conducted for love of science, that the interests involved were subjective rather than objective and that the results claimed were tinged with the dominants of prepossesson."

spaniards Are Best Workmen.

The Spanlards from Cuba make the best type of workmen for the Panama canal and from this time on the policy of the commission will be to offer Inducements to them to work on the big ditch. A labor representative will even go to Spain to see what may be done towards getting a regular flow of laborers from the coun- try. It has been found that the negro laborers are of little value. no American negroes have applied for employment and those of the race from other parts of the world are found to be indolent and desire work only for the purpose of getting a little money ahead with which to remain in absolute likeness until it is exhausted.
 It is found that the Spaniards are in- dustrious and 1t Is profitable to pay them double what is paid the negro laborer.
