believed would inevitably follow the
passage of the Payne bill in its pres

A member of the committee said to-
night that no fortunes would be made
by the members of such a syndicate at
the expense of the American breakfast
table if the committee can prevent it.
1t is said that there are interests now
in Washington promoting the move

that, the retention of the cOuntervailing
duty. A member of the committee as
serted that full information as to the
personnel of the syndicate would be Sc

Jailed for Contempt.

San Francisco, March S0.-Found
guilty of having improperly addressed
Charles X. Blender. a juror in the case
IF Patrick Calhoun, William D. Har-
rington. proprietor Of a saloon. was to-
day sentenced to serve five days in the
county Jail for contempt of that de-
partment of the superior court in which
the trial is in progress. The Juror IS one
of the six men temporarily passed dur
ing three weeks of effort. and one of
those subject to removal from the box
when the attorneys assemble tomorrow
to exercise the inStallment of peremp-
tory challenges. At the same hour, in
another department. evidence will be
submitted to prove that Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Frank J. HanIey and Off
GERS working under his direction vio-
lated an order of the court by persist
ing in search of the offices occupied

PENDANTS arrested at the instance of
Detective W. J. Burns, will be ar
raigned upon charges of receiving stolen
papers and grand larceny.
Contempt Proceedings.
The contempt proceedings were in
augurated early in the day when Har-
ringtou. after listening to a recital of
Blenders statement, where the juror
identified the salOonman and repeated
the remark imputed to him, took the
stand in his own behalf and denied
having ever seen Blender before. Har-
rington's wife and r p. Donovan. a
bartender in his employ. corroborated
his statement to the effect that he was
home at the time Blender is said to
have been in the place last Saturday.
Notwithstanding the numerical pre-
ponderance of testimony. Judge LawloT
adjudged Harrington guilty.
Harrington's offense, according to
Blender. consisted in asking the juror
if he intended to hang Calhoun" The
saloonman. who was represented by an
attorney for the Liquor Dealers asso-
citation, requested two days to settle
his affairs, but was given until noon
tomorrow.
Judge Lawior. in closing the case, in
timated that the testimony given by
Harrington might be profitably inves-
tisated by the district attorneys Office

GREAT CHANGE
IN SENTIMENT
E. H. Hartman Does Not Find
the Public Mind InfIamed
Against Railroads.

Denver, March 90.-If T. H. Hartman
could have his way, he would bring ali
the railroads of America into one giant
combination, under one head, and begin
Immediately the expenditure of S250,000,-
600 or $500. 100000 in improving the
weaker roads, both physically and
financially. In this way ne says he be-
Iieves he could do the greatest good for
the government, the people of the
United States generally, to the ship
pers individually, and finally, to the
owners of railroad stock.
Mr.. Hartman spent two hours in
Denver today as the guest of the Cham
Der of Commerce, then departed on his
eastward journey.
Gives Expert Opinion.
IF we could, we would throw our
cloak over the weaker lines throughout
the country and begin Immediately the
expenditure of between $3.50, 900 and
$500, 100000 to improve them" said Mr..
Hartman in an informal talk at the
Chamber of Commerce. 1T ought to be
i-done Immediately, and / think / can
qualify as an expert on these matters
This should be done openly and under
some sort of government supervision.
But we would all be put i'm prison if we
tried it."
Mr.. Hartman also declared that his
roads have spent in the neighborhood of
$3.50. 000.0 since 1902 building and re-
building in the west and through the
mountains. He repeated his assertion
that he had found a great change in
public sentiment toward railroads and
railroad builders throughout the land.
Five years ago" said Mr.. Hartman.
I told President Roosevelt that he was
wrong, and that he would have many
imitators in states and cities who
would do the country incalculable harm,
and what ] told him then has proved
correct. Roosevelt was wrong in his
fight on me and the railroads, and the
truth of this is getting clearer every
day."

KNOX GIVES THE
SENATE A HINT
As a Result the CountervaiIing
Duty on Coffee viii Come
Out of Payne Bill.
BRAzIL'S HANDS ARE TIED
IMMENSE FOREIGN LOANS Sc
CURED BY EXPORT TAX,

Washington, March 0.-RecOgnizing
that Brazil is powerless to suspend her
export tax on coffee because the tax is
indissolubly linked with her foreign
debt. the senate committee on finance
today decided to strike out of the Payne
bill the counteryailins duty proposed
Members OF the committee said today
that if the Payne provision is adopted
it would have the effect of placing d
duty on coffee imported from Brazil
equal to the export tax assessed by that
country and the consumer would be
compelled to pay the difference in cost
The responsibility of such a result could
not be shiTked, it was said, and con-
gress would have to answer to the peO-
pie for this assessment against a neces-
sity.
Knox Furnished Data.
Secretary Knox sent to the commit
tee some confidential data supplied to
him by the Brazilian embassy, in which
it was shown beyond contradiction that
Brazil. whence most of the coffee used
i'm the United States is imported, could
not repeal its export tax, as foreign
loans were secured by that tax.
Undoubtedly that information had a
great deal to do in aiding the finaGce
committee to reach its decision, as the
data cOntradicted the theory Of the
house ways and means committee that
if the countervailing duty is adopted II
would force Brazil to remove the ex-
port tax so far as it applied 10 impOr-
tations by the United States

Hard to Get at the Facts.

1t is charged that efforts are being
made to belittle the trouble on account
of supposed unpleasant notoriety TO the
state. For this reason it is hard to get
at the real facts regarding the number
of dead and injured since fighting began
last Thursday. A dispatch from Henry

mitted- unofficially, that thirteen negroes
and Indians had been killed since Thurs
day. All efforts to establish the truth or
falsity of the report are vain.
