House Committee Gives
Its First Hearing
Of Consideration For Revision
Of the Present Schedule.
Few Changes Wanted by Those In
terested In Paints and oils.

Washington, Nov 10.-With few ex-
ceptions the interests affected by
Schedule A of the Dingley tariff which
includes over hundred articles under
the heading of Chemicals. oils and
paints" do not desire any changes in
the rates of duty now in operation.
This was indicated today at the first
hearing of the consideration for the
revision Of the tariff, held before the
House committee on ways and means.
There were few requests for in
creases i'll the present rates of duty
A number of those appearing before
the committee were not prepared to
present arguments for changes in the
rates and expressed a desire that the
present schedule be continual. A strong
advocate of lower tariff rates was AL
bert Plaut. who drafted the schedule
for medicinal chemicals for the Will
son ILL, but who declared the entire
schedule now was Anticipated.
"The duties on medicinal chemicals"
he said. ARE mostly prohibitive. being
ir most cases 25 per cent, which is
prohiDitive rate"
In addition to recommending that
such chemicals should be reduced to
IL per cent. Mr.. Plaut said that GER
tain articles of a similar nature should
be taken off the free list, naming
uuinine as an example, and recon-
mending for it Is per cent ad valo-
rem rate.
N. B. Arnold, representing the VAR
nish Manufacturers National Associa-
ton, declared that varnish manufac

present conditions and admitted that
his trade aid not need any protection
with regard to alcohol varnishes. He
said that in view of the availability Of
alcohol for varnish manufacture. an
ad valorenn of 25 per cent. for alcohol
varnishes instead of the present rate of
81 per cent. would be fair.
John F. Queenie of st. Louis and
representatives Of the Semet- SOlvOy
Co. of Syracuse, N. ". favored high
err duties on coal tar products Mr..
Springer. representing chemical firm
OF Cincinanti. asked that three and
one-fiftn cents a pound be imposed on
prussiate of soda instead of the ad va
loren rate of 25 per cent, and for 80
per cent. ad valorem rate on terra
chloride of tin. but admitted that this
latter would be a prohibitive rate of
duty which would permit him to in
crease his profits. Charles Evans, a
manufacturing chemist of Philadel-
phia, W. W. Skiddy. representing the
manufacturers of extracts for dyeing
and tanning, and E. H. Dyer repre-
senting the Paint Manufacturers Asso-

For killing James Scott.
Jury Secured and County Attorney
Mercy Outlines States Case.

Auburn, Mt, Nov. 10.-A special
term Of the supreme court was con-
vened today for the purpose of trying
four men on the charge of murder Two
the murder of James Scott, a fellow
countryman, at Livermore Falls last
winter and the other two are John and
Frank Perkins. held for the killing of
Frank Strout, their neighbor at Po-
land.
1t was arranged to first try Pascal
Nikols and George None for the Scott
murder \ jury was completed easily
and County Attorney Morey began his
opening this afternoon. Much interest
centered in this opening for the State.
as it was expected to disclose for the
first time the evidence gathered by the
state during the past three months and
carefully guarded. Pascars alleged con-
fession. the testimony of two witnesses
who have been kept in Jail and other
features lent interest to the trial.
County Attorney Morey on Opening
said the State claimed that three mo-
tives existed on Mone's part for the
crime:
First to kill Scott in order to avoid
paymentS which We're due on mort
gage; second, to gain the favor OF Jen-
rie Begin, a girl with whom Scott Kept
company. and third. because he was
greatly incensed over Scott's getting
the better of him in trade for store.
He said the State would claim the re-
sronden,s are guilty through the con-
fession of Pascale and the admissions
Of None to his friends and the fact that
None had appropriated SCOTS goods
after the alleged murder.
He outlined tine crime, showing it to
be one of the most cruel and cold
hearted ever committed in Maine He
asserted that the respondents induced
Scott to GO to Livermore on the pre-
tense of buying apples and on the road
him. choking him to deatn
with a rope, and dragged his body to
the Whittemore farm, where 1t was
concealed beneath a sheep pen.
Mr.. Morey contended that None adj
mitted his guilt to friends before ne
was arrested and that since he was
taken into custody he had again ad-
mitted it by threatening vengeance on
Alec Adams, one of the principal wit
nesses for the State. who was brought
from Biddeford, if he should testify

numbers, and as the casket was borne
i'll joined in singing LEAD, Kindly
Light" and stand Up for Jesus" A
brief address was delivered by Rev.

The tragedy was the absorbing topic

c. W. Morse, Convicted
Ex-banker and FinanCier,
Must Remain in the Tombs
Until Thursday, Dec. 3,
When Arguments Will Be Heard on
The Writ Of Error.

New York, Nov. 1O.-Bail was de-
MED Charles w. Morse the financier,
who has been sentenced to Is years
Imprisonment at hard labor, at the
closing of the United States circuit
court of appeals today, and it now
seems certain that the former multi
millionaire must remain in the Tombs
prison at least until Dec. 3. when ar
gument on the writ of error that has
been granted him, may be heard
Judges Lacombe, Ward and Coke
of the. United States court of appeals,
rendered the decision late today by
which bail was denied him. One loop
hole is left open to Morses counsel
in the decision, and that is that the
judges decided that while bail was de-
MED it was done so Without prejudice
to a renewal of the application after
a bill of particulars is filed"
The judges stated briefly that as the
trial judge in the proceedings against
Morse had refused to admit him to
bail. that the reviewing judges were
not prepared on the papers submitted
to them, to make a disposition of the
motion.
Morse had been hopeful of gaining
his release from the TOmbs today ana
the denial of bail came as hard blow.
His wife and son Harry had been with
him in the Jail during the afternoon
and they encouraged him in the be-
lief that he would be free by night
fall if the judges could reach de-
cision by that time. Mrs. Morse and
her son left the prison before the de-
cision had been rendered and the news
was conveyed to the prisoner by an
assistant in his counselS Office.
While Morse tried to hide his dis
appointment he felt too cast down to
do so. He walked to the rear of hrs
cell and sat on the edge of his hard,
narrow berth and refused to make
any comment A few minutes later
he regairied some of his composure
and the expression on his face chang
ed. Later Charles E. Littlefield and
Clifford Walker, his chief advisors, and
Morse entered animatedly into
discussion of further plans for secur-
ing a favorable decision on the ques-
ton of ball. but no announcement was
made as to what would be done.
There is one feature of the case
that is particularly disagreeable to
Morse. That is that no matter how
long he is compelled to remain a pris-
oner in the Tombs. the time will not
count as a part Of the Is years he

Berlin, Nov. 10.-Emperor William

terpellations concerning the CONVEX
sation published with the permission OF
the Emperor in the London Daily Tel

MajeStyS treatment of the COnstitu-
ton as well as of his freedom Of
speech, went to lengths that astonished
observers acquainted with the tradi-
tional caution of the Chamber in deal
ing with the personality of the sover-
eIgn. And the Emperor seemed to have
no defenders.
Chancellor Won Buelow made an adj
dress lasting Is minutes, but he lacked
his usual spirit and person high In
his confidence is authority for the
statement that he had told the Emper-
CT that neither himself nor his success
ors could remain in office unless Ills
Majesty was more reserved.
Prince VOn Buelow spoke solemnly
and without making use of any dra-
matte effects. The House received his
explanation in icy silence, instead of
giving it that cordial applause which
as general thing follows the chan
cellor's fine parliamentary declara-
tiOnS.
The Conservatives representing
largely the landed nobility. were al
most as relentless as the Socialists the
Radicals and the National Liberals,
