TOBACCO DUTY SATISFACTORY
Neither Republicans Nor Democrats
Desire to Change Present
Tariff ~heduI

WASHINGTON, Nov. l4.-From the at
titude assumed by both republican and
democratic members of the house ways and
means committee at today's hearing on the
proposed revision of the tariff it became
evident that there is general satisfaction
with the present duties on tobacco and
tobacco manufactures, The democrats APP
pear content with the present high tariff
on the ground that tobacco is e production
from which the government should derive
revenue, while the republicans favor the
present rates because they offer the pro-
lection desired by the American tobacco
interests. Representatives OF the tobacco
growers of New England, Florida and
Georgia opposed any change for higher or
lower rates, contending that such action
would disturb the conditions OF the trade.

tobacco Board of Trade of the Connecticut

NEW YORK, Nov. I4-The exlosion Of
what is supposed to have been a dynamite
bomb in a tRxicab In front OF the Grand
Central station on Forty-second street
created excitement in the vicinity about
midnight. The cab was wrecked but so
far as is known no one is hurt.
According 10 the police the machine was
hired by a woman in front OF a Broad
way restaurant and she Is imposed to
nave placed the bomb. Diamond PhHnaus
was the chauffeur in charge OF the taxicab.
He said he was waiting in front OF a Broad
way restaurant when a young woman
dressed in black appeared and said she was
In a hurry to go TO the Grand Central
depot. Upon arriving at the depot the
woman stepped from the taxicab and
handed the chauffeur IS cents without ask
ing the amount she owed. W. are not
allowed TO take this. Your fare is only
90 cents" protested Phanaus. but the
woman ignored him and hurried into the
depot.
Phanaus said he looked into the cab and
saw what appeared TO be a tin box on the
floor. He hurried after the woman and
just as he entered the door Of the station
he heard an explosion, close followed by
Omaha daily bee., 1908-11-15

another, but slighter shock. Forgetting
the woman, Phanaus turned TO the door
again. He found his taxicab had been
blown to fragments. The woman had
evidently some knowledge of the makeup
OF the taxicabs, for she had placed the
bomb as the chauffeur said. in just the
: spot where it would do the most damage.
1t had ripped up the seats, shattered the
floor, wrecked the machine and caused the
gasoline tank to explode.
When the police searched for the young
woman they found she had slipped quietly
out of the depot and disappeared.
Rate for d Only.
Only two witnesses testified at today's
session OF the hearing of the govern
ment's suit to dissolve the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey. They were
Horatio Tucker. former general freight
agent of the New York Central railroad
and more recently chairman OF the Chi
cage and st. Louis Tariff association,
and Fred o. Hollands, tariff clerk for the
Chicago e. Alton railroad. The testi-
mony of these two witnesses was con-
fined almost entirely to interstate and
interstate freight rates and the distinc-
tions made by the railroad companies in
submitting tariff sheets to the Interstate
Commerce commission. 1t was apparent
that the governments attorney was en-
deavoring to secure information which
is to be used later in the case in an ef-
fort to show that the Standard oil COM
pany was favored with reduced rates,
Hollands proved the more important of
the two witnesses. He told of a 6-cents-
a hundred rate between Whiting, Ind.
and Chicago which was granted to the
Standard OIL company only.

Pool of Johnson county, Sup

for the Place.

George w. Leidigh of Nebraska City is
the Bryan candidate for speaker of the
house in the coming legislature as opposed
to Charles Pool of Johnson county, the
corporation candidate.
Mr.. Leidigh and Henry Gerdes of Falls
city are the only two democrats elected to
this Legislature who ave ever had previous
legislative experience. and this fact will be
urged in his behalf. He was a member of
the session Of 1898 when the fusionists had
a majority In the house of two and he
helped greatly in the organization OF that
louise for the fusionists. He also took a
lead in the election OF w. V. Allen TO the
Utitsd States senate. His share In the
work of that session made him a prominen.
man in tho democratic and populist ranks
of Nebraska.
Mr.. Leidigh also served as warden OF the
penitentia-y, being appointed under the
Holcomb regime. He gained the closest
friendship of the Holcomb and Allen popu-
lists and the Bryan democrats. He has
always been a close friend of Mr.. Bryan

this nomination, though last Satur-

Apparently he changed his mind

Il was q busy day yesterday in the
political field, and perhaps next in
importance to Mr., Smiths accept
ance Of the Democrat nomination
was the filing of a petition last
evening for DR.. Logan on the police
commission. Dr. Logan accepted.
Thus there will be a three-cornered
fight for the Office Of police commits

and DR.. Logan as the candidates.
Each is well known, each is popular,
and each would probably make a
