OPPOSE TEA TAX.

NEW YORK, May ia letter of
protest against an import tax on tea
as proposed in an amendment to the
tariff bill offered by Senator Tillman,
was sent by the National Coffee and
Tea association today to Senator Aid
rich. The letter declares an import
duty would benefit but few interests
and necessarily would cause an in
crease in prices to the consumers.
ION high priced tea," says the let
ter "the retailer in his effort to main
tain prices long established, would
substitute lower grades. This fact was
plainly demonstrated when the late
war tax was in effect. During that
period, imports of choicest grades OF
Japan tea declined SIS per cent and
importations of choice grades declined
so per cent, teas from other coun-
tries being similarly affected. This
certainly is convincing proof of the
effect of such tax.
"There is no tea or coffee trust II
this country and the trade is there
fore subject to free and open compe
tition, thus insuring full value to the
consumer"

TELEGRAPH COMPANY
DENIED INJUNCTION
Butte Judge Holds Concern Was
Clearly Organized to Evade Anti
Pool Room Law.
ESPECIAL TO THE GAzETTE.) }

BUTTE, May 17.-Judge ]. Lynch
of the district court, this morning de-
MED the application of the Interstate
Telegraph company for a temporary
Injunction to restrain Sheriff
O'Rourke and County Attorney Walk
er from interfering with it's business
of receiving and transmitting mes
sages by telegraph.
In his decision Judge Lynch states
that the Interstate Telegraph COM
pany was clearly organized to evade
the anti-pool room law passed by
the last legislature of Montana, by
enabling persons who still resired to
bet on horse races to do so without
infracting its provisions.
The court states that it will not
place the seal of approval upon the
plan, and dismisses the order to show
cause and refuses the injunction asked
for. The court concludes by saying:
Zone may not evade statute and
afterwards come into a court of equity
for relief"

Sugar King Leaves His Millions to
Two of His Four Sons, the
Others Being Entirely
Ignored.
This in Effect Will Test Validity OF
viii of Claus SpreckIes.-Benefi-
Charles Named as Executors and
Trustees. - Contest viii Involve
Many MilliOns.- Rights.

SAN FRANCISCO, May Illegal
proceedings, the effect of which will
be to test the validity of the will of
the late Claus Spreckles, the sugar
magnate, who died at his home in this
city a few months ago, leaving an es-
tate valued at many millions, were
begun today
The will divided the estate into two
equal portions, one of which goes to
the widow without any restrictions of
any kind and the other into the
hands of Rudolph and Claus A
Spreckles, two of the four sons, as
trustees, to be distributed as later di-
rected on the death of the widow The
trustees were named also as execu-
tors Of the will.
During the life of the widow she
was to receive a portion of the in
come from the half of the estate held
by the trustees and on her death that
portion was to be divided into three
parts, one of which was to go to Ru-
dolph, one to Claus and the other to
be held by the trustees and the in
come to be paid to the daughter, En-
ma C. Ferris.
BY these terms the other two sons,
John D. Spreckles and Adolph Spreck-
les, were ignored in the distribution
of the estate, except for unimportant
bequests.
The executors filed a petition with
the court a week ago asking that
property valued at between $2,OO0,0OC
and $3,000,0O0, being a portion of hall
the estate held in trust, be transferred
from them as executors to them as
trustees. This action is protested 10y
John D. Spreckles and Adolpt
Spreckles in a demurrer to the peti-
ton filed today. The demurrer is
viewed as a protective measure taker
by the protestants with view to the
safeguarding of any rights they may
have in the estate. Should the peti
ton have been granted without de
murrer on their part the validity o
the will would have been established
in the eyes of the law.

Senator Aldrich Writes Letter Against

Wave the "BlOOdy Shirt"

WASHINGTON, May ia compre-
hensive discussion of the income tax
by Senator Sutherland of Utah, and
an extended speech by Senator Depew
in support of the pending tariff bill,
consumed most of the session of the
senate today Mr.. Sutherland argued
against the constitutionality of fed
eral income tax and declared such a
tax should be left as a means of rev.
enue for the states.
Before adjournment couple of
hours were devoted to a discussion of
the cutlery schedule of the tariff bill.
Razors were used during the discus
sion in a hostile attitude on the rates
of the bill.
The committee on finance had in
creased the rates on razors in COM
mon from about 55 to 100 per cent
advalorem, and as soon as the senate
took up the cutlery schedule today
amendments offered by Mr.. Simmons
Saturday, cutting those rates, were
rejected Senator Stone then offered
amendments reducing the duties on
razors to the rates of the Dingley bill.
Senator Smoot in opposing these
amendments, said if the duty was 600
per cent it would not increase the
price to the consumer. He held up
before the senate razor which he
said cost 40 cents to import, and
which was sold for So.
Mr.. Bailey insisted that duty OF
almost 100 per cent on razors was
not in conformity with the pledge OF
the Republican platform to levy a
protective duty equalling the differ
ence in the cost of production at home
and abroad plus a reasonable profit.
Mr.. Smoot, in response to a ques-
tion by Mr. Stone, moved over to the
Democratic side of the chamber al
the same time taking razor from his
pocket and deliberately opening it, he
walked up to Senator Stone and ther
whirled the razor in his hand as he
explained how the name of the foreign
manufacturer was obliterated from
the blade. .....
Senator Carter suggested that The
senator from Missouri had been in
| timiated nv the razor in the hands o
the senator from Utah and Mr., Smoo
carefully replaced the blade of hi
razor in its case.
A general reduction of custom du
ties of 5 per cent annually is pro
posed by Senator Owen in an amend
ment to the tariff bill that he offered

President Taft Promises to Take Up
Question of More Daylight
With Cabinet.
IN THE SUMMER time
Cincinnati Association Sends Delega-
ton to Washington to Urge Reform
Movement Directed Against Clock
VIII Confer With Advisors Today.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-President
Taft today promised to take up with
his cabinet tomorrow the question of
more daylight.
A delegation from Cincinnati repre-
senting the Chicago National daylight
association, called upon the president
and requested him to take the initia-
tive in reform movement directed
against the clock.
The idea of the movement is to be-
gin the day two hours earlier during
the summer time in order to give
longer hours for afternoon and even
ing recreation. 1t is proposed that
on the first of May the clocks shall
be turned back two hours, the re-
uuested time to remain in effect until
October.
1t was explained to the president
that little progress could be made in
the direction desired by the associa-
ton without the support of the ma
tional government.
AS railway mail schedules and ma,
tional banking hours would be i'm
mediately affected by the change, the
president suggested to his callers
that they take the matter up with
Postmaster General Hitchcock ant
Secretary of the Treasury McVeagh.

STOCkMEN
ARRESTED
ESPECIAL TO THE GAzETTE.)

SHERIDAN, Wyo., May 17.-Crimi-
nal action has just been instituted in
the district court here against L. F.
Johnston and Harvey w. Carey, prom
inent stockmen in Sheridan county,
for whom warrants of arrest have
been issued at the instance of George
C. Waisner, also conspicuously identi-
fed with the stock industry of this
section of Wyoming.
An information was filed with the
clerk of the district court late this
afternoon, charging that March 20,
1908, Johnston and Carey burned a
sheep wagon belonging to g. W. Wais-
ner and w. E, Waisner. Endorsed on
the information are the names Of
George C. Waisner, George w. Wais-
ner, Charles Matthews, w. L. Faulk-
ner, William Tubbs and w. G. Seach-
ary the latter being the deputy sher-
iff at Arvada. They will be called
upon as witnesses for the state when
the case comes to trial.
The action is another echo of the
lang drawn out fight between sheep
men and cattlemen along Wild Horse
creek in the Powder River country,
east of Sheridan. A number of years
ago the Washers purchased the Hal
bert Bros ranch in that section, the
deal including the outfit and many
sheep. The district was then sparse
ly settled and the Washers are said
to have had wide range for feeding
sheep. Later cattlemen moved down
Wild Horse creek, precipitating con-
flict between the two interested par
ties. deadline was established anC
trouble continued.
About two years ago the Waisners
claimed to have lost fully Thousand
head of sheep as a result of the wal
with the cattlemen.
Johnston, one of the defendants
named in the information, was for
merly secretary of the Northern Wyo
ming Horsemens Protective associa
tion and is we'll known throughout thu
country. Carey is foreman of John
ston's big stock ranch near Arvada.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE fact that
John L. Dudley of this city, has ap-
piled to the court for the appoint
ment of receiver and for the disso-
luton of the United States Express
company became known today when
an argument on the application was
made in court
Counsel for Mr.. Dudley, VINO asserts
he is a stockholders of the express
company today applied to the su-
preme court for a writ of mandamus
to compel Edward T. Platt, treasurer
of the company, to permit an examina-
ton of it's books. Decision was re-
served.
The defendants named in the suit
brought by Dudley are former Sena-
tor Thomas c. Platt, his sons, Ed
ward T. Platt and Frank H. Platt;
James c. Fargo, president of the
Wells-Fargo Express company, and a
director of the United States Express
company; Levi c. Weir, president Of
the American Express company and a
former director in the United. States
Express company; Francis L. Stetson,
and Chauncey H. Crosby.
The defendants have, it is asserted,
squandered the assets of the COM
pany, paid dividends imperilling the
company's capital; voted themselves
extravagant salaries; used the funds
for speculative purposes, and sur
rendered large amounts of business
unnecessarily to rivals. A meeting
of stockholders for the election of
officers, it is further alleged, has not
been held for 46 years and vacancies
in the directorate have been filled by
the board of directors, "a self-perpet-
uating body" the members of which,
it is said, own less than half of one
per cent of the company's stock.
Frank H. Platt, in statement to-
day, said that he attached small i'm
portance to the suit.
