GAG TACTICS" SAYS GUFFEY
Bells Ruling in Pennsylvania Mat
ter Stirs In Wrath.

AUDITORIUM, DENVER, july o.
"A big sensation was sprung In
the convention this afternoon when
Chairman Bell announced that two
sets of committee names had come
from Pennsylvania's delegation.
Con gresham James Of Kentucky
moved that the question be referred
to the comittee on credentials.
Delegate J. M. German Of Penn
sylvania made violent protest
against the reference on the ground
that justice in the case could be
proved to the full convention in a
few minutes. Howls of disapproval
greeted him when he moved that
the Guffey delegates be given places
on the convention committee.
Chairman Bell refused to accept
the amendment. and as he announc.
ed his RECESSION Colonel Guffey strobe
dow n the aisle, his form trembling
with rage, and standing directly In
front of the speakers stand made
personal demand that the Pennsly-
vania delegation be polled. Bell
declined TO accede and put the mo-
ton amid scenes Of wild confusion
He declared that the motion was
carried and the matter referred to
the COMMITTEES. /.
Bell refused to yield to demand
for the roll call demanded by the
Pennsylvanians, and Delegate Don
nelly of Pennsylvania, broad
shouldered individual, shook his ds1
in Bells face and yelled
you've had your orders ant
we're having our first exhibition
but the democrats Of the nation vii
have something to ask you after yo'
get through with your gag tactics.
But Bell held his ground. declar
ing there was no demand for q al
vision, and he declared the question
referred.

NOT ALL STANDPATTERS
Some Sentiment Appears in Favor of
Tariff Reduction.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE COM
mittee on ways and means of the
house of representatives today con-
tinued it's hearings begun yesterday
on the schedule for chemicals, oils
and paints. These public hearings,
which are for the purpose of gather
ing Information which will be useful
in the work Of revising the tariff, are
part of the tariff plan proposed by
Chairman Payne on the floor of the
house last May. Mr.. Payne then said:
1--WE propose to call the whole COM
mittee together Immediately after the
election and invite people to come IN
here who have knowledge upon the
subject to impart such information as
they are able to give to the whole
committee. Republicans and Demo-
Gratis
AFTER those hearings are closed we
propose to call together the majority
members of the committee as was
done with the Wilson bill, and to ask
our Democratic friends or rather to
excuse them from attendance upon
the sessions of the majority of the
committee while we are framing
tariff bill When we have framed 1T
we will call them in again and sub
nit our work to them and finally we
will submit our work to the congress.
1t will be a revision of the tariff; it
will be a protective tariff; it will be a
maximum and minimum tariff, l be-
lieVe, putting US on an equality with
France, Germany ana Russia, IN tndI
respect. That is the Republican pro-
gram"
There was little argument presented
to the committee at yesterdays hear
ing to indicate any general desire for
change, either higher or lower in
the present rates of duty on articles
coming under schedule "a" of the
Dingley tariff. Today, however. there
were indications of conflicting views
regarding the present duties on GER
tain paints and colors it being claim
ed by some that certain of these ar
ticles are in the hands of a monopoly
and that the tariff on these articles
should be reduced. On the other hand,
E. H. Dyer of St. louis. representing
the paint manufacturers association
of the United States. stated before
the committee yesterday that the 80
or more paint manufacturers belong
ing to that association believe that the
duties now levied are not too high,
considering the comparative cost of
labor and material.

SCALED PRISON WALL.
How Two Girls Imprisoned by Acct
dent Made Their Escape.

Chicago, Nov. 11.-Locked in the
Bridewen where they had gone to visit
one of the matrons, unable to find an
attendant to pass them through the in
closure, and fired at as fugitives
when they scaled the high wall was
the experience of Miss Margaret Co.'S
tella and Miss Alice thinner, two Aus
tin girls, last night.
Miss Costello had been invited to
visit the Bridewell by her aunt, Mrs.
Ellen Guiren, a matron at the institu-
ton, and Miss thinner accompanied
her.
After being shown through the
house of correction by Mrs. Guiren,
the girls, who are each II years old,
were invited to remain for luncheon.
1t was dark when the matron bade
them goodbye at the prison door and
they started for a gate in the other
inclosure. This they discovered was
locked. They hurried, back to the
building, but on trying the doors found
that they, too, were fastened for the
night and ingress or egress was cut off.
After pounding on the doors and
shouting without result the girls de-
cided to scale the wall. Choosing a
point near a gate, they assisted each
other to the top and were lowering
themselves to the other side when a
guard appeared, commanded them to
halt, and fired his revolver.
Fearing they would be shot as fugi-
tives. the girls Ieaped to the ground
and ran, later boarding a car for home.

MARKET EXCITED.
Conflicting Reports Regarding Divi-
dends of Hartman Roads.

New York, Nov. 11.-Directors of
the Southern Pacific company today
declared regular quarterly dividend
of 1 II per cent on common stock and
a regular semi-annual dividend of II
per cent on preferred stock.
The Union Pacific directors de-
clared a regular quarterly dividend of
II per cent on common stock
violent break in prices of the
stocks of the Hartman Pacific rail-
ways caused a feverish and excited
tone in the early stock market today.
These stocks were unloaded in enor-
nous amounts by spectators who
bought them yesterday on the rumors
that dividends were to be advanced at
the directors meetings today. Yester-
days rumors were discredited over
night and the belief prevailed that
only the regular dividends would be
declared.
Soon after the opening Souther Pa
cific sold down to 116A, compared
1919 at the highest yesterday. The
low price for Union Pacific on the
break was 1898 compared with 181
at the close last niort and 1S1 % at the
highest yesterday. The whole market
declined in sympathy, losses running
from 1 to 2 points in the active stocks.
Support became effective in the course
of the first half hour and prices rallied
with the effect of quieting the activity
which had been at a furious rate.
By the time the action of the direc-
tors in declaring regular dividends on
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific
had been announced the speculative
selling of those stocks seemed to be
concluded. This ---~ after Southern
Pacific had declined an extreme three
points and Union Pacific 2 Il. In the
rally of prices which followed there
was a diversion of speculative opera
tfons to low priced railway stocks
which had its inception in Erie. That
stock and some others in that class
moved up 1 to points. Colorado

ferred pa
