Sister.

SAN FRANCISCO, May Good prog
ress has been made in the trial Of Pat

roads. nine witnesses for the state being

payment was made June ., 1895; and AS
sistant District Attorney Heney declares
he will prove that the bills given Rea were
a part of the $4,000 drawn from the mint
by Ford.
Mr., Abbott was asked:
did you, in the spring of 1907, secure
certain reports for Mr.. Calhoun from a de-
tective named Dorlan?"
This question was withdrawn on objec-
tion and then Mr.. Heney asked:
Did you ever pay money TO Luther
Brown for reports obtained for Calhoun
by detectives"
An objection caused Judge Lawlor to
ask the object OF the line of inquiry. Mr..
HeHey stated that the prosecution hoped

NEwLANDs SUGGESTS ALLIANCE
Cummins Says Democrats Are Worse
divided Than Republicans.

WASHINGTON, May IAN m sing
situation occurred at the close OF Senator
Cummins' speech today on the tariff in the
senate when that republican progressive
was asked by Senator Newlands whether
the faction striving for a revision of the
tariff downward had formulated a plan
with which the democrats could unite In
in order TO accomplish their purpose. The
question gave evident satisfaction to Sena-
tor Aldrich, but apparently senator Cub
beTtson, the minority leader was not so
well pleased.
It was pointeo out by Mr.. Newlands that
II the twenty progressive republicans united
with the thirty-one democratic senators
they would have a majority OF the senate.
Mr.. Cummins remarked that the senator
from Nevada had found more progressive
republicans than he had. Responding to
Mr.. N~ewland's question however. Mr.. Cum
minis asked
lis the senator from Nevada authorized
to speak for the thirty-one democrats when
he p%ropounds such an inquiry?"
No" said Mr.. Newland, because the
thirty-one democrats are poWerless to &C
comnllsh anything here by taking the
lead. The only way they could succeed
In benefiting the country would be by fol-
lowing the lead Of the progressive republic
cans. | think If that republican faction
would get together on a program for a
revision Of the tariff downward, the demo-
Gratis would respond favorably to the pro-
posaL"
Are YOU making an official statement
from the democratic party or merely a
suggestion?" asked Mr.. Ahrich.
Mr.. Newlands replied that he spoke only
for himself, whereupon Mr.. Cummihs de-
clared that the speeches. favoring the
highest duties had come from the demo-
cratic side SO that he saw little hope OF
help from that quarter.
What have the prosressives to hope
from that side Of the chamber" Mr.. Cum
minis asked,

s. sisted by Mr.. r. M. Hix.
The song recital given Wednesday
evening in the Congregational church
for the benefit of the Wo1nan's Relief
corps, by Mr.. u. S. Kerr, of Minneapol-
as. the celebrated basso-cantante. as
sisted by Mr.. Ralph Hix, proved a
rare musicaE treat.
An audience filling a little over half
the seating capacity of the church was
present. Mr. Kerr's voice proved all
that was claimed for 1t, being rich,
aexible and sympathetic to marked
degree. The songs comprising his pro-
gram gave good opportunity for the
singers extensive range, his voice at
one moment, perhaps, flllingt 9 audience
room with Its powerful tones. and at
the next thrilling his hearers with Its
wonderful softness. The number,
:Singing to YOU" Mr.. Kerr's own COM
position, evoked the most enthusiastic
applause, and a repetition was de-
nanded. Other especially enjoyed
numbers were the Song to the Even
ing STAR" from Wagner's 'Tannhaus-
err, and the 'Toeadore Song" from
Bizet's Carmen" The program includ-
ed several French and German num-
hers. and one Norwegian song.
Mr.. Hix's skilled and sympathetic
interpretation of the piano accompani-
a11ents formed no small part Of the en-
tertailament and he delighted the au-
diencs. with two organ numbers, also
responding to an encore.
