SIGNIFICANT ACTION OF MONT
GoMERY MEMBER AT ANNAPOLIS
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
STATE HOUSE. Annapolis, Nd, March
S.-Mr. Lee introduced local Montgomery
county politics, and factional politics at
tnat, In the senate this morning when he
presented the following order, which was
referred to the finance committee:
ordered That any five members of the
senate who voted with the majority in the
last democratic caucus, and any five mem
bers who voted in the minority of the La ST
democratic caucus and any five members
of the senate who voted in the last re-
publican caucus shall have the right to ap-
point bill reader for the remainder of the
session. who shall have the privilege of the
floor, and whose duties it shall be to scru-
tinize legislation, especially private and To-
cal bills and to advise the senators ap-
pointing him to the contents of the
same and whose compensation shall be at
the rate of 81 day.
Explained the Order.
In explaining this order Mr. Lee said
that he had been charged during the cam
paign, which resulted in his election. with
being a friend of the liquor interests in
Montgomery county. He explained that To-
cal option exists there and that this report
which was persistently circulated, was un-
true. 1t has come to his ears, he said,
that a bill affecting this law will be
snaked'' through the Legislature is pos
sible. Perhaps under some bank charter
and he wanted TO be protected against
any such possibility He called attention
to the effect that bills are never read in
full and that what portion of the bills
are read cannot be understood so as time
goes on the possibility of something of this
sort slipping through, unknown TO him and
to the reading clerk, increases. He thinks
S2i per day which the order entails will
be well expended in this manner.
Mr.. Lee introduced in the senate this
morning a bill regulating the qualifications
of and salaries of certain school teachers
of the white public schools of Montgom-
cry county. This regulation regulates sal
aries according to the number of subteach-
ers or the amount of work which the teach
ers do.

PLEADS FOR THE WEST

the Statehood Bill.
PRESENTS HIS SUBSTITUTE
Would Create Oklahoma and
Eequoia.
OPPOSED TO PENDING MEASURE
Entirely Eliminates New Mexico and
Arizona-Senate Meets at IL
Indian Bill in the House.

The Senate met at II o'clock today, an
hour earlier than usual. in order to afford
additional time for the discussion of the
statehood bill. but IL looked for while
as though that object would be frustrated
by the lack of attendance on the part OF
senators. When the hour for meeting ar
rived not single seat in the chamber was
occupied. but the Vice President and
the chaplain entered through the north
door Mr.. McCumber and Mr. Gearin ap-
peared at the opposite entrance and Messrs
Teller and Patterson came In few mo-
ments later Other senators were slow In
making their appearance, and at rs.
when Mr.. MoCumber began to speak on
the statehood bill, less than dozen sena-
tors were in their seats.
Mr.. McCumber introduced his speech by
presenting a substitute for the statehood
bill creating one state OF Oklahoma and
another of Indian Territory. the latter
under the name Of Sequoia, in honor or the
Cherokee scholar of that name, and entirely
eliminating New Mexico and Arizona He
made an argument against the consolida-
ton of the territories into fewer states.
contending that more western states were
necessary to give the agricultural and other
transmississippi interest strong representa-
ton In Congress. He predicted in the near
future the west would have a much larger
population than the east, and said That
even II present boundary lines were pre-
as many states as there were east OF the
Mississippi and that, therefore, the balance
of power In the Senate must necessarily pe
against the western section.
Mr. McCumber declared that the tlme
would come when the east would nnd its
protection In the west. He referred 10 the
infiuence of foreign immigration in eastern
communities and in this connection SAID
that at its last election Chicago had elected
a socialist as mayor. ,,,,.
When Mr. McCumber closed Mr. IliIman
gave notice that as soon as an opportunity
offers he will address the Senate on the
message of the President sent TO Inc sen
ATE Yesterday on the coal inquiry resolution
recently passed by Congress on Mr.. fllimans
motion He referred to the pres'oentiai
message as "a very remarkable document
and said that but for the pressure 70 pro-
coed with the statehood bill he would ask
to be heard at this time.
Mr. Patterson Opposes the Bill
Mr. Patterson then addressed the Senate
on the statehood bill. speaking In opposi-
ton to the passage OF the House BILL He
devoted his attention almost exclusively TO
the portion of the bill providing for the
Joining of Arizona and New Mexico, and
contended that Arizona as now founded had
an unquestionable right to ultimate state
hood.

CALIFORNIA SENSATION
OVER FILING OF SUIT AGAINST
ELEVATOR COMPANIES.

SAN FRANCISCO, March S.-The news of
the fling of a suit by the United States
government against a number of elevator
companies has caused a sensation in Cali
fornia and the west, this being the first
legal proceeding of the kind ever insti-
tuted out here.
United States District Attorney Robert
Devlin, who brought the suit. was located
late last night at his residence In Berkeley.
In discussing his action he said
The complaint filed yesterday is against
the Otis Elevator Company and thirty other
defendants, who are alleged to be in one
concern and operating contrary to the pro-
visions of the Sherman act. The complaint
was drawn up by me. but is signed by
United States Attorney General Moody, all
such actions originating at Washington
1.-The action is based upon affidavits of
men who were formerly In the combine and
who state that while the defendants to the
action are apparently separate concerns,
they in reality, are all under control OF
the Otis Elevator Company The effect OF
this pooling of interests is to enhance prices
and restrict trade with the view to con-
trolling all the elevator business on the
Pacific coast with the probability that this
is but a branch of a gigantic trust that
controls the elevator output all over the
United States.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-03-08
Against the Sherman Law.

such a combination Is against the pro-
visions Of the Sherman law, and we believe
that we have ample evidence against the
trust to make out clear case when It
comes to trial.
THE aff1davits of the men set forth in the
complaint, whose names / do not now re-
member, are complete and are based upon
personal knowledge. A great quantity of
material of firms not in the combine has
gone to waste, there being sale for It.
This suit has been carefully prepared
and will be pushed vigorously. In every
phase of 1t the Attorney General has been
consulted, and l regard the case as clear
and strong against all the long list of de-
PENDANTS"

Governed Only by Evidence.

The jury. the court said, was to be gov
erned only by the evidence admitted as
proper by the court. and by the logical con-
clusions which were to be deduced there
from. The court expressed such admiration
OF the system OF trial by jury that Justice
Gould declined to take advantage of the
privilege allowed I'm federal courts of COM
menting upon the evidence after II had been
submitted.
The jury was instructed that the court
In overrultng the motion of counsel for
the defense to take the case from the
jury had not passed upon the question cf
the guilt or innocence of the accused
The court instructed the jury as to the
law relating to conspiracy. saying that IL
vas an agreement to do an unlawful act
$r an agreement In an unlawful way to
% a lawful act The court referred to
ohe difference between the English law
On this subject and the federal law of this
country. the former holding that the
mere agreement is sufficient to constitute
the crime while the latter makes the
commission OF some overt act necessary
for its completion.
The court then read the indictment upon
which the government elected TO go to the
jury.
Question of Venue.
AS TO the question of venue, the Jury was
instructed that the court would have juris-
diction II the alleged conspiracy were found
TO have been entered into in the District of
1OiufnDl;i. even thOuRn all the overt acts
set forth In the Indictment We're shown TO
have taken place elsewhere. or. on the other
hand. II the conspiracy were formed else
where and one or more of the acts commit
ted here.
AT the instance of Attorney Worthington
the court further instructed the Jury that
IL could consider any failure 10 produce
evidence by the defense but should NOT
consider the fact that the defendant did
not go on the stand to testify In his own
behalf AS to the evidence OF former Post
master General Wynne. which was In SO
much controversy. the court Instructed the
jury to consider IL only as to the question
OF bias and prejudice. t. court said
this evidence had been admitted with re-
luctance and was not TO be considered as
TO the merits of the case before the Jury.
No Word From Jury.
No word had come from the Jury up to
a late hour this afternoon Court. OF course.
did not adjourn, but Justice Gould left the
bench. and counsel interested in the trial
departed. The defendant remained at the
city hall only a few minutes after the case
was given TO the jury. About half the
auditors who attended the morning session

probabilities and venturing predictions

Immediately after Justice Gould took his
seat on the bench this morning at 10 o. clock
Major Conrad resumed his final argument

ROME, March S.-The Vatican authorities
received throughout the night kilograms
from France regarding the cabinet crisis, in
which the pope and Papal Secretary Merry
del Val were most interested, although it
was admitted that 1t was difficult to estab-
lish whether the issue would be victory
for the holy see or the inauguration of an
even stronger anti-Catholic regime In
France.

PARIS March S.-The government mas
itself without a ministry at the eliminating
stage of the Moroccan conference at Alge-
ciras. A semi-ofIicial statement on the sub
ject says:
1.-The ministerial crisis does not anect
French policy at the conference.
This is designed chiefly to warn Germany
not to take advantage of the situation. The
fact is that the ministerial hiatus confuses
matters and threatens the agreement Which
otherwise might have been reached today
The vote in the chamber of deputies last
night, resulting in the defeat of the govern
ment and the resignation of the CABINET
also requires that the government temporlZe

coming increasingly demonstrative, partic-
ularly the peasants.
To Form New Ministry.
President Fallieres today began series
of consultations relative to the formation OF
a new ministry. He first conferred length
ily with M. Dubost. president of the senate,
and later received NJ. Doumer, president or
the chamber of deputies. No announcement
of the presidents course Of action has been
made but the names most mentioned are
those of Leon Bourgeois, the former pre-
mier; Alexandra Millerand the former MIN
lister of commerce.; Raymond Poncalre, 1or-
mer minister of public works, and Senator
Clemenceau.
There is some talk also of NJ. Delcasse,
the former foreign minister, who Is support
ed by the AnglO-French enthusiasts, but MS
appointment is impossible owing to German
hostility to him.
NJ Rouvier wants to retire from the pre-
miership but he may be induced TO retain
the portfolio of foreign affairs cr that OF

Justice Gould began the announcement of
his charge at the conclusion of the final
argument of Maj. Holmes Conrad, for the
government, who closed the summng-up
arguments. The instructions given by the
court included those prayers of counsel
which had previously been approved by
Justice Gould as stated in The Star. In
addition the court charged the jury on a
number of points of law and evidence.
The jury was also instructed to return a
verdict of not guilty on Indictment No
2393S, Which alleged conspiracy to commit
an offense against the United States, and
whicn covered the same general ground
included in Indictment No. 239+0 alleging
conspiracy to commit fraud, on which
the prosecution elected to go 10 the jury.
The proceedings of this morning were
followed with an accentuation of the keen
interest on the part of all connected with
the trial which has been shown since the
arragnment of the defendant The court
room contained a large number of auditors
Appeal for Conviction.
In closing his presentation this morning
Major Conrad made an appeal for a verdict
OF guilty. He was frequently interrupted
by Attorney worthington of counsel for
the defense. who repeated his motion made
yesterday to discharge the jury the
ground of alleged Objectionable remarks
made by counsel for the government. For
the second time the motion was overruled
by the court.
The testimony of former Postmaster Gen-
eral Wynne was again made the basis for
q vigorous legal combat, Maj. Conrad elo-
qUently defending that witness against the
alleged imputations OF the opposing coun-
sci.
While In court today the defendant SEEM
