CONSPIRACY CLAIMED

His Death Was Due to Plot - Big
Sensation is Promised in Trial Of
Case.
Nashville, Tenn, Nov 13-Altho the
excitement in this city over the shoot
Ing of former United States Senator
Carmack has to certain extent abat-
ed. yet the tragedy is still the sole top
ic Of conversation in political circles
both here and turnout the state. Coll
onel Cooper, who was with his son
when the latter shot Carmack, has
been remanded to Jail without bond
charged with murder, while young
Cooper remains at local hospital un-
der guard. where his wounded arm Is
being treated. His physician says he is
getting along as we'll as could be ex-
pected. His preliminary trial on the
charge of murder will be held as soon
as he is able to leave the hospital.
Both Senator Carmack and the
Coopers have many friends here and
Coopers claim that the affair was
merely street duel in which both
sides met and began firing; that the
Coopers had tried to avoid a meeting
with Mr.. Carmack and they were ON
their way to the state capitol in re-
Spouse to a telephone message from
Governor Patterson when the tragedy
occurred
The friends OF Senator Carmack
strenuously claim that the killing was
the result of a. conspiracy, pure and
simple. in which men in high authority
were connected; that Mr.. Carmack was
waylaid and assassinated while he was
on his way to his boarding house and
while he was talking to lady; that
when he left the Tennesseean office for
his boarding house the fact was tele-
phoned from a house near the Tennes-
seean office, and that thus the Coop
ers We're notified that the senator was
on his way and to be on the alert.

friends of Mr.. Carmack, that there was

Especial Correspondence
Washington, Nov. 13.-Speaker Cau-
non is going to be on probation for a
session of congress.
That is the conclusion of all the ir-
formation that can be secured about
the attitude of the powers that be,
the powers that are to be. and the in
surgents In the house OF represents
tives.
There is no organized effort on foot
at present to prevent the speaker sue
ceeding himself as first lord of the
house. There may never be such an
effort. The speaker may be elected by
the republicans of the Sixtyf first con-
gress without opposition. But whether
he will be, depends on his attitude to-
ward public questions during the COM
ing short session.
Relations Long Strained.
1t is news to nobody to say that re-
lations between the administration and
the speaker have been strained for a
long time. and have been getting no
better Since the Chicago convention.
If the speaker and the president had
got out on a mat and clinched in a
rough-and- tumble fight last session.
they Would have added nothing to the
conviction among people in the know,
that they were utterly out of sympathy
and were restrained from open ruptlre
only by large considerations of party
policy and political necessity. They
did have two or three hand-to-hand
struggles, beginning with the fight for
1.-THE appropriation to pay for enforce
ment of section 20 of the Hepburn act.
The speaker was one of the most
determined of the "allies" at Chicago,
and it was his organization in the
house which prevented the nomina-
ton for vice president of man who
would have been satisfactory to the
powers of the ruling faction in that
convention. Mr. Sherman was handed
to the Taft managers by the allies.
and was accepted because there was
no escape.
Cannon One Of the Issues.
The speaker had great fight fo'' his
reelection. He was one of the issues
in the campaign. 1t was an open
secret that his defeat at the polls
would have inspired nothing but prod
igious aridity in the lachrymal de-
partments Of national campaign di-
rection. Before election it was common
talk that even if reelected he would
not be speaker again. 1t was expected
at that time that the republicans would
control the house by much closer ma
jority than at the present and that the
implacable opponents Of the speaker
would represent enough power to
eliminate him.

Lower Taxation.

st. Paul.-Owing to the increase in
the amount of taxable property found
In the state the state auditor, in max
ing the levy for the taxes to be paid
next year, recommends a tax of 1888
mills, as against 3.4S mills for this
year. The total amount of assessed
property in 1907 was $1,04S, OO0,0 900,
as against net valuation of $1,063,-
100000 for this year.
Slight decreases are made in the
levy for state revenue and for the
university campus fund. The other
levies are the same as before. To
the levy made by the auditor must
be added the levy of 1.23 mills for
state school purposes.
In speaking of the levy State Aud
itor Iverson said:
THE legislature Of 1907 made tax
levy of s1,70O,O00 for state revenue
purposes for each of the years 1907
and 1908, and fixed the maximum
rate Of IL mills for each year.
I'm 1907 the maximum rate was
levied. For this year, owing to the
increased assessment, it is possible
to reduce the rate, and we have ac-
cordingly made the rate for state
revenue purposes 1.6 mills, which will
produce the amount levied by the
legislature. The legislature of 1907
also made levy of $4,000 for each
of four years for university campus
purposes.
in 1907 2 of mill was levied for
that purpose. This produced more
than the amount of the levy. This
year the levy for university campus
purposes is Is of mill, which will
produce somewhat less than the
$175,000; but taking the two years
together it will produce about the re-
quired sum for the two years.
1.-THE total levy for all state pur-
poses in 1907 was 34S mills. That
included L for soldiers relief, 2
funding tax, II state revenue, .05
state road and bridge, 2 for univer-
sity campus, for the state school tax
and .23 for the university"
