OBJECT TO DUTY
PLACED ON TEA
PRICES UP 5 CENTS-IMPORTE
TO PAY ADVANCE IF CONGRESS
ADOPTS SCENT SCHEDULE.

AS a result of the proposed Scent
duty on tea, tea prices have advanced
from to cents during the past
ten days, and, according to import
ers, consumers will have to bear the
burden if congress ultimately decides
to impose the duty as fixed in the
Payne bill.
Tea importers say they were sur
prised when the Scent schedule was
announced by the congressional ways
and means committee. Stocks were
not large here, and importers will
not sell at the old prices.
GA tea that the housewife can now
buy at % cents will have to sell at
35 cents if this duty is imposed"
said a tea merchant. ga duty of 8
cents a pound is altogether too high
a tax on the lower grades of tea and
is really more than the upper grades
can stand. I am in favor of a duty,
if one must be imposed of from 5
to 6 cents pound. I would also
raise the proposed differential of 1
cent between producing and non-pro-
ducing countries to 8 cents. This
would prevent Canadian importers
among others from dumping large
quantities Of tea into this country"
The yield of income at the rate
proposed in the Payne schedule would
be approximately 100000 to So
100000 per year, provided the duty
did not restrict the imports. During
1908, 99,930,631 pounds of tea were
imported into the United States. The
year before imports were 99,117,343
pounds and in 1906, S9,437,757
pounds.

GROVE AND NOT ON CORDIAL
TERMS WITH GOV. HAY-RES-
IGNATION EXPECTED.

Olympia, April 2.-It is rumored
here that Eugene Lorton, appointed
member of the state board of control
by Governor Cosgroye, may soon ten
der his resignation to Governor Hay.
LOrton was a very close friend of
COsgrove and has not been satisfied
with some of the things which Hay
has done, and through his paper, the
Walla Walla Bulletin, Lorton has
given evidence of his mild antipathy
to the lieutenant governor Lorton
had believed that Governor Cosgrove
would recover his health sufficiently
to resume the duties of the office, and
acting in this belief he has been
rather free in expressing his views
And now that Hay has come into
the full gubernatorial authority Lor-
ton realizes that his relations with
the governor cannot be as friendly
as is desirable between the executive
and those holding places in impor-
tant commissions. A friend of Lor-
ton said today that he expected that
Lorton would put his resignation in
the hands of Governor Hay within
the coming month.

FISHING SEASON.
But Few of the Local Anglers Took
Advantage of the Opening
of the Season.

Yesterday the opening of the sea-
son for trout commenced, but there
were few local sportsmen who went
out. The fishing streams towards
the Cascades are too high yet for
god fishing, and Messrs. Spencer,
Buttles, Scheble and other local MINI
rods will defer their fishing trips
until little later in the season. The
opening of the season does not mean
as much to the people of eastern
Washington as it does to the sports
men on the Sound, where fishing
streams are very numerous.

Helena, Mont, April 2.-Convict
VIM. Hayes, who expiatei his crime
on the gallows at Deer Lodge today,
was convicted of completely in the
murder of Deputy Warden John A.
Robinson at the state prison on
March s, 1908, when he, with three
other convicts, made a desperate at
tempt to escape from the prison.
Warden Frank Conley was wounded
in ire ARRAY. None of the convicts
escaped, and later all were tried for
the murder of Robinson. George
Rock was convicted and hanged sew
eral months ago. Convict Stevens
was sentenced to serve life term,
while Convict Young was acquitted
of completely in the conspiracy.
Frederick Lebeau, who was hang
ed at KaIispell, was convicted of the
murder of William F. Yoakum and
Riley R. YOakum, near Fortune, in
Flathead county, on June II, 1908.
Lebeau killed Yoakum because the
latter ordered him off his place and
refused to sell him food. At the
time, Lebeau was accompanied by a
man named Joe Hobbine, who is now
serving a life sentence for the deed.
According to the story of the mur-
der, after Lebeau had shot the old
man in the abdomen, he walked up
to him and put a bullet in his head.
Then he had a duel with Riley Yoa-
KUN, the old mans son, and wound
ed him. Riley was so badly injured
that he shot himself, and as the re-
volver which he used in the duel
was the same calibre as Lebeau's,
the coroner's jury found a verdict
of murder and suicide. 1t was not
until Hobbine, drinking in a saloon
at Whitefish, some two weeks later,
remarked that he knew something
of the crime that the true facts came
out, and when Lebeau returned from
Canana, whittier he had fed, he was
arrested and placed on trial. He
pleaded guilty when arraigned, but
withdrew that plea and pleaded not
guilty. A jury found him guilty and
sentenced him to be hung. Lebeau
is As years old.
