JOHN SHARPE WILLIAMS HAS
DOUBTS AS TO TARIFF
REFORM

Associated Press to Bismarck Tribune.
Washington, Feb. 49,. Representative
John Sharpe Williams, the minority
leader in the house, today addressed a
letter to Gov. Curtis Guild, jr., Of
Massachusetts, acknowledging receipt
of a copy Of a petition addressed to the
president and congress in regard to tar
tiff revision, together with Governor
Guilds letter Of transmittal.
Repre- sentative Williams declares that
the doctrine Of maximum and minimum
tariff is not a new one to him but de-
clares that he does not favor the propos-
al Of Senator Ledge, Speaker Cannon
and Representatives Dalzell and Nc
SCleary 10 make the present tariff mini
mum schedules with a maximum rate
to serve the purpose Of retaliation only.
The minority leader suggests to Gov
ernor Guild that the people might as
well look to a bald barber for an eff
fective hair restorer as to look to the
republican party for 4 revision Of the
tariff.

floor of the building and badly fright

whom are Italians. Clouds of dust up
stairs were mistaken for smoke and a

Before order could be restored it was
necessary to use fire ladders to remove
from the upper windows women and
children who were determined to quit
the building. No clue to the bomb
thrower was discovered. One of the
owners Of the tenement is Joseph Be-

Mrs. Thaw moved bit nervously in

had to do with her signatures to Ger.

Mrs. Thaw said she was not sure

cross examination went on and she

Jerome, by a simple question,
opened the way for the introduction Of
testimony tending to show the truth.
or falsity of Mrs. Thaw's story. He
asked the witness, ''Was the story
you told Thaw true?' ut was" she
replied firmly. 3;55s .Sfi{ 3s
Delmas, Thaw's leading counsel, OBJ
tjected strongly to the question, but
Justice Fitzgerald held it to be compe-
tent as tending to show the credibility
of the witness. Whether Jerome in
tends to take advantage Of the ruling
in an attempt to throw doubt upon
the truth of the story or whether
Justice Fitzgerald intended his ruling
to cover the whole subject Of Mrs.
Thaw's evidence, the future conduct
Of the case alone can determine.
Delmas will continue to fight with
constsn Mt objections to the introduc-
ton Of any testimony as to events in
the young woman's life, but the sub
ject of credibility of witness is a
wide one and Justice Fitzgerald early
today indicated that he would be
liberal is his Interpretation of the
rules in that respect. u. y. .s5
He allowed Jerome to bring from
Mrs. J. J. Game Of Boston, friend
Iof Mrs. ThaW, who took the witness
stand during the morning session,
many material points as to the move
tments Of Harry Thaw and Evelin Mes
bit following their return from Europe
In 1904 including the published Incl
TdeHf OF their being elected from the
Hotel Cumberland in this city, the
proprietor insisting that they should
register as man and wife or leave
their suites, which adjoined. In bring
ing out these facts Jerome denied that
he was attacking Mrs. Thaw and said
he was simply testing the credibility
of Mrs. Game.
The district attorney seemed re-
luctant to begin the cross examination
OF Mrs. Thaw today, desiring to have
the matter postponed until Thursday
morning in order that he might de-
termine whether or not a further ex.

lsary on the issues involved in the

before District Attorney Jerome had

way for bringing into the trial Of

TUNNEL LOSS DENIED.
Pennsylvania Official Says Plans for
Homestead Tube Were Changed.

&A1 OAho
ELIZABETH, Oct. ga report that,
by some blunder in the plans for its
tunnel under the Hudson River from
Homestead. the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company would sustain a loss of
close to 81. 900, 900 was emphatically de-
MED last night by w. c. Bowles, en-
gineer of construction, at his home in
this city. He said hat the only founda-
ton he could conceive for it was the
fact that after the digging of the big
bore had beer begun certain plans were
changed, but the extra expense would
not be more than a few thousands of
dollars. 1t was the original purpose,
he said, to establish the powerhouse
and yards at Bergen Hill, but later it
was decided that h better place for
them would be at Harrison.
The report originated in the TACT that
when the tunnel was started, about two
and q half years ago, the rock, as it
was blasted out, was run back from the
tunnel and used to make. al 1S-foot
e~mbankment for the roadway which
crosses the tracks of the Northern, Sus-
quehanna and Erie railroads to the
west of the hill, Recently workmen
have been busy erecting a trestle about
200 feet to the north of this embank-
ment, and some observers of this got
the notion tina the contractors had
made some mistake and were compelled
to remedy IT.
