Tariff HEARING
Editor Files Statement With
House Committee.
OWN CANADIAN TIMBER

Document Declares That Certain Min.
nesota Men Who Appeared in Ad-
4 vocacy Of Removing the Duty Are
Interested in Britain Columbia
Lumber Company and Would Be Di-
rectly Benefited BY Action Asked.
Washington, Feb. Sin state
ment filed with the house ways and
means committee by James Elliott
Defebaugh Of Chicago. editor OF the
American Lumberman, regarding the
efforts that are being made to induce
congress to remove the present duty
on lumber, it is asserted that the
principal witnesses who appeared be-
fore the committee in advocacy of
free lumber are officers of British
Columbia lumber company.
The statement contains the an
nouncement of the organization of the
American Timber Holding company,
with a capitalization of $6,0OO,O00
holding title to about 100000, 900
feet of timber, located principally in
Western British Columbia, accessible
to tidewater. The purpose of the
company is to float, it Is stated, a
considerable part Of the stock on the
American market, particularly in the
event of the removal of material re-
duction of the duty on lumber.
Zone of the chief witnesses on Nov.
20 was M. j. Scanlon Of Minneapolis,
who is president of the new COM
pany,' says MI. Defebaugh. ''The
leading witness of Nov. 20 was Theo-
dore M. Knappen of Minneapolis, who
is now announced as secretary Of the
british Columbia Timber company.
Another important witness was F. b.
Lynch of st. Paul, who is one of the
directors. Further, an exhaustive
written brief, printed Dec. 10, was by
W. S. Dwinnell, who is treasurer of
this tinber company.
Since the hearing OF Nov 20 the
country has been flooded with litera-
ture sent out by the Forest Conserve
ton league, Of which Mr.. Knappen
admitted himself to be the chief con-
stituent. It seems evident that if
these gentlemen can break the tariff
lumber cocoanut they hope to be able
to claim the milk as Canadian"

ANOTHER CHINESE
OFFICIAL LET OUT
Second to Be Dismissed Since
Death Of Emperor.
Picking, Feb. S.-Shen Pi, president
Of the board of communications, and

banks for this money. The terms i'm.
posed were described as humiliating
to the central government.

FOR PISTOL WIELDER.

Nearly an hour was consumed be-
fore Judge De Bolt yesterday after
noon in the arraignment OF four de-
PENDANTS. The greater part of the
time was occupied in fight over the
bail of Tong Kit, a shrewd-looking
old Chinaman charged with pointing
a revolver at a fellow-countryman at
Waianae, Attorney Quinn wanted to
have him released under a S25 bond,
but the court could not see things in
the lawyers light.
Higashi, assault on female under
age, was the first to be arraigned.
Deputy City Attorney Milverton read
ing the indictment. He said at first
he had no attorney and then stated
that Charles Chillingworth, who was
not present, was his attorney. The
charge being a felony, his plea was
continued until o'clock today to en-
able him to consult his attorney.
John Rodrigues, with fingers on
both hands bandaged, was represent
ed by w. T. Rawllns and pleaded not
guilty to assault and battery with a
