@ NEWS OF THE NEIGHBORS

OF Davenport was that last Friday ev-
ening to the effect that arrangements
were practically completed for the en-
| trance of the Northwestern road into
Davenport. Official confirmation of the
report was obtained from Grant E.
Lamb, president, and Frank w. Ellis,
vice president of the Iowa & Illinois
Railway company, whose tracks would
be used for the Northwestern traffic be-
tween Davenport and Clinton. Mr..
Lamb and Mr.. Ellis frankly admitted
that they were in the city in connec-
ton with the Northwestern matter
I'VE shall make application to the Dav-
export city council at it's January meet
ing" said Mr.. Ellis, ''for a franchise
for a track outside OF the D., r. l. &
X. W., the Milwaukee, and the Daven-
port & Rock Island Bridge, Railway &
Terminal company's tracks, from the
eastern city limits to about Warren
street, where we wish to cross the d.
R l. & n. w. tracks, running north of
them to the western city limits. We
shall also need room for freight yards.
If we are granted what we believe will
be recognized as entirely reasonable
requests, rails will be laid and a freight
house built as soon as the construction
work can be done. A joint rate of the
I. & l. and the Northwestern roads will
be inaUgurated at once that will put
all the territory on the 5000 miles of
Northwestern lines at the disposal of
Davenport shippers, while ample pro-
vision will be made for taking care of
all business that is offered into or out
of the city

MANY MULES
ON THE SQUARE
SOME SPLENDID ONES OFFERED
FOR sALE.-DEMAND WAS A
TRlFLE OFF COLOR.

Plenty of mules, high prices, some
southern and some local buyers, but
practically no demand, was the situa-
ton here today. Up until / o'clock
probably not over two cars of mules
had changed hands. ]. W. Howard
e. Co. sold one car of these and the
others were picked up on the streets
1t looks as if the season on cotton
mules is pretty nearly over The de-
mand in the south has been slack for
the past two weeks, and the southern
BUYERS on hand did not appear to want
the offerings at the prevailing prices,
and we're not too anxious to buy at
cheaper prices.
The prices were a bit off from
month ago and there will doubtless be
a still further decline. but not for any
great amount, as the faremrs and the
traders all realize what valuable prop
erty mules are, and consequently there
is no inclination to sacrifice good
property.
While the mules on hand today
numbered probably 500 and there
were a number of toppy animals In
good condition, the bulk of the offer
ing was rough and there were many
hlemished animals on handsome
with defective eye-sight, others wind
broken and still others with knots
and strains.
Among the buyers on hand were,
Robert Dunn of Hendersonville, Tenn;
] w. scoggins Of Atlanta; Ed Abra-
ham. of Montgomery; M. F1es, OF
Birmingham; J. D. Holman, OF Ozark,
Ala; Floyd Burt, of Lewisburg; Alex
Reed of Pulaski; Marshall Ellington
Franklin and Jack Huddleston, OF
Centreville.

Autopsy SHOWED THAT
SENATOR CARMACK WAS
SHOT IN SIDE AND BACK
-,-yn,eE WANTED DIR. GLASGOW TO TELL
T. THEM ALL THAT HE KNEW BUT
HE WAS DEFIANT
- ,A,,sD ON FOR A. PEAE MroRY ORDER, BUT He WAS r.
NAlLy RELIEVED OF EMBARRASSMENT BY THE
STATES MAGNANlMiTY.

Without precedent, perhaps in the
criminal annals Of Tennessee were the
proceedings in the Cooper-Sharp trial
this morning. For the first time ac-
cording to the recollection Of counsel
the question arose as to whether the
court could peremptorily instruct a
witness on one side to tell counsel on
the other all that he knew. The court
was evidently seeking to avoid direct
ruling on the question of whether or
not such instructions should be given.
II looked for a time as If such a de-
cision would be required. DR.. Glas-
gov, who, at the instnace of the state,
made an autopsy on the body of Sen
ator Carmack had been summoned as
a witness for tn defense, but he de-
clined to talk to counsel on that side
on the idea that it would be unprofes-
sional to give away facts obtained by
him for the other side in his capacity
as a physician The court instructed
DR.. Glasgow that it would be proper
for him to talk to counsel for the de-
tense. but he declined to do so in the
absence of a peremptory order. the
court then saw he would have to have
authorities on the question, but coun-
sci for the state settled this question
by an agreement to allow DR.. Glasgow
TO talk if the defense would pay for
his services in the autopsy. The de-
Tense agreed and counsel retired with
DR.. Glasgow.
DR.. Glasgow testified as to the au-
topsv which he held on the body OF
Senator Carmack at the grave N Co
lumbia on November II. He described
the three wounds Of Senator Car
mack. He described the three wounds
heretofore set out. Two OF the SHOTS
nierced and wounded the covering OF
the heart, but being through the SIDE
of the body; the other being through
the back Of the neck so that Senator
Carmack was shot from the side and
hack. Witnesses corroborating de-
PENDANTS theory as to the manner OF
firing shots and the sound OF those
fired on the day of the tragedy were
introduced.
It also developed that Judge Ander-
son had experimental last Saturday
with the character of pistols used at
the killing and that shots from the
Smith and wesson revolver were loud
o. than those of the Colts automatic.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Feb 26.-Gov-
ernor Patterson today returned to the
Senate without his approval the reso-
luton calling for joint convention
to elect State Comptroller, Treasurer
and members of election boards. In
order to prevent the measure from
being passed over the Governors veto
thirteen Democratic senators who
have been sustaining the executive In
all of his vetoes absented themselves
and broke quorum. In consequence
a recess was taken until o'clock this
afternoon when vigorous measures
will be used to compel the attendance
of the absent senators.
II has been rumored that these SEN
ators would resign in order to delay
action on the measure, but no move
ment of that kind has developed. The
proposal to name the election boards
is the cause of the filibuster. This
election would consummate the law
taking the appointment Of commits
sioners out of the Governors hands.
Governor Patterson in his veto
measure says IF this resolution had
been to elect the Comptroller and
Treasurer only as provided for by the
Constitution of Tennessee 1t would
meet my approval, but as it contem-
plates the election also Of political
boards. which are not provided Tor
In the constitution, but which are
created by bills which have hereto
fore disapproved as being undemo-
cratic, partisan and unconstitutional
exercise the power of my office to
veto. Under this resolution the DEM
ocratic majority in the House and Sem
ate is to be ignored and boards are TO
be elected without their consent or
approval, minority of Democrats be-
ing permitted to name with the Re-
publicans the Democratic board OF pri-
mary election commissioners and the
Democratic members of the state
board of election commissioners, and
can never agree as governor that
this result be consummated with my
approval"

WARS ON TOBACCO TRUST
Senator Beveridge Seeks to Curb
Growing Power.
He Tells How n Higher Tax Would
Yield n Big Revenue-IncreaHe
in Consumption Of Weed.

Senator Albert J. Beveridge. OF Indi-
ana, made a four-hOur speech In the Sen
ate yesterday in support Of an amend
ment 10 the tariff bin offered by him,
which to d great extent restores the war
revenue tax on tobacco imposed during
the Spanish war
His amendment, he said, would yield
about s2l.0OC.000 annually. Cigars are
exempt from the operation OF his amend
nent because OF the fact. Mr.. Beveridge
explained. that they are not controlled by
the tobacco trust The amendment also
re-enacts the provision OF the Dingley
law prohibiting the distribution OF cou-
pOns in packages OF cigarettes which ere
redeemed by gifts from the company. He
also argued that licorice paste. used in the
manufacture OF tobacco, be placed on the
free list, because, he charged, the to-
bacco trust has a monopoly Of that prod
uct
At the conclusion OF his speech he asked
for an immediate vote. but several Sena-
tors objected. and the amendment was
postponed for feature action. Mr. Al
drich promised that the Finance Com
mitJee would investigate the matter
Senator Beyeridge began his speech
shortly after 10 O'Clock. and concluded a
few minutes before 2:S0. He said:
The consumption OF tobacco in this
country. he said. is increasing beyond
that Of any other people in the yvorId-at
rate which would be unbelievable II We
did not have the figures. From 1850 10
ls5 the consumption OF tobacco in France
Increased. "A per cent, and in England
IS per cent, while that OF the United states
increased 240 per cent"
Senator Beveridge said II this country
taxed tobacco at the same rate as Eng
land and France il would yield a revenue
OF $S33, ,SS8. 665 per year. instead Of SS0.O00.-
900 as now. He said it was a startling
fact that our present tobacco tax IS less
than at any time since we began 70 tax
tobacco, except from 1873 20 1s9S
The Indiana Senator denounced the ac-
ton Of the Finance Committee in striking
out the increase IN the tax on cigarettes
made in the House bill He then went
at great length into the history OF the
American Tobacco Company, or the to-
bacco trust. He told how II was organ
ized in 1890 with tangible assets amount
ing 10 $4,000, capitalized at 81 ,OOo, 900;
how Il almost Immediately got a monopo-
y Of the cigarette business and then set
out 10 crush competition IN other lines
OF the tobacco business.
He said Thomas F. Ryan was the ablest
and most far-seeing Of the group that
directed the contest for control OF the
tobacco business. though each one Of
Ryan's Observation-Disclosures, Widener. Do
Ian, and Whitney-was distinguished for
audacity and resourcefulness in promot-
ing financial manipulation.
He declared that the tobacco trust had
larger monopolistic power than any other
concern except Standard oil.
