STATE SCORES POINT
Dramatic Recital Of Annis Tragedy
Given by Eye Witness to the Mur-
der in Trial of Thornton J. Hains.

Flushing, N. Y, Dec. 1S.-The most
dramatic story yet told of the Staying
of William E. Annis was recounted to-
day in the trial of Thornton j. Hams,
charged with being a principal with
his brother in the killing of Annis.
when Herbert Funke. member of the
Bayside Yacht club. told how Captain
Hains, lifting the swinging boom of
Annis' boat, called "Annis," and fired
several shots at him as he sat at the
tiller
There was pause after the first
shot, then came four shots in success.
sion, after which came a single shot"
declared Funke. 1T was after the first
shot and before the other shots We're
fired that Thornton Hams drew his re-
volver and pointed it at me-"
Prosecution claims Funke's evidence
Is another proof of the states contsn-
tion that defendant was principal and
was aiding his brother in carrying out
preconceived plan to kill Annis.

Too Many Bankers Go Wrong.
"The number and gravity of offenses
against the national banking laws by
officers or employees Of national banks
constitute matters of reasonable solic-
itude and regret he states. THE NOR
al culpa biity involved in such Of
fenses seems often to be impeffectly
appreciated, and, altho they usually
excite great Indignation and provoke
loud complaints from the sufferers
when they are first discovered. so much
time is frequently lost in the prepar-
alton for trial and actual trial of these
long and complicated cases that the
crime itself has faded from public
memory when the criminal is at last
convicted, and there is need of Wig
lance lest he finally escape with wholly
insufficient punishment
Make Warrants Good Anywhere.
In his opinion as a matter of justice
no good reason exists why a warrant
Of arrest issued by any court of the
United States should not be directly
executed in any part of the United
States. He asserts that it has been
found that certain districts constitute
for practical purposes sanctuaries for
certain classes of offenders against
federal statutes. He believes that there
should be a law giving committing
magistrates of the United States au-
thority to issue search warrants when
stolen government property or any
property which it is crime against
the United States to misappropriate
is believed to be concealed.
In regard to the supervision of nat
uralization by his department he says
that the appropriation granted is too
small for the work to be done thor
oughly. AS to jury challenges on be-
half of the United States he says there
is no good reason why the defendant
shouN u be allowed a larger number of
peremptory challenges than the pros
ecution Of criminal trial and that it
is often difficult under the present
rules to bring to justice offenders as
to whose guilt there is no reasonable
doubt. He renews his recommendation
that the salaries of federal judges be
increased owing to the increase in the
cost of living since they were last ad-
juSted.

STEEL SCHEDULE eoTHERs.
Tariff Committee MuddIed by Mass Of
Conflicting Evidence.

Washington, Dec 1S.-The most diff
ficult problem presenting itself to the
house ways and means committee In
connection with it's work of revising
the tariff is that of determining an
equitable rate of duty for the steel
schedule. The published views of An
drew Carnegie with regard to the steel
industry and the tariff and the testi-
mony given by Charles NJ. Schwab and
other steel magnates has not given the
committee sufficient information as to
the actual conditions which would re-
suit from a reduction of the tariff nor
has it offered any data which would
indicate what rate of duty would pro-
tect American labor and the small in
dependent steel companies, as well as
the larger plants.
r. H. Gary. chairman of the board of
directors of the United Steel corpora
Ition. was the first witness before the
committee today. He was subpoenaed
several days ago and the members
hope to get from him information
which they believe necessary to deter
mine the proper tariff on steel.
Gary said that Schwab nhis testi-
mony before the committee Tuesday
had not in his estimate figured enough
for the depreciation in the cost Of pig
iron. Gary placed the cost to produce
pig iron at from $1475 to SIS per ton,
as compared to $14, the cost given by
Schwab.
A. II. Urion, Of Armour & Co., de-
clared it would make no difference to
the concern he represents. if the tariff
hi is,1 fo1r orf
entirely. He said the tariff has added
from 80 cents to $1.10 to the value of
hides. He asserted the farmer received
the entire benefit Of this increased
value. Urion said the statement that
the packers control the tanning as well
as the packing business is inconsistent.
Il think in that case we would want
hides on the free list" Urion admitted
that packers had an interest In some
tanneries and that Mr. Armour owns
stock in the United States Leather
company. The hide is 6 per cent Of the
value Of the animal, said witness. and
brings to the farmer $3.50 to $500. He
said hides brought years ago cents
per pound, whereas they now bring IL
to IA cents per pound.
Gary declared that the manufacture
ers in this country, in figuring the cost
OF production have not stipulated q
Sufficient amount for depreciation to
keep up their plants. He said the
United States steel corporation can
produce iron and steel materially
cheaper than most of it's competitors
He estimated the difference in cost at
more than 81 ton, which, he said
was due to method, character, equip
ment and the cost Of certain material
to the corporation.

Young received the unusual compli-

as to two or three who wanted to
make a record in favor Of his
Pardon. This was done on the repre-
sentation that he was in fact either In
nocent of murder or at least the case
was not proved against him. The be-
lief prevailed among the legislators
that Young was the victim OF mis-
trial. for The homicide for which he
was convicted was committed by some
unknown person in a general melee In
which a number were concerned.
