NEW TRIAL FOR
 PATRICK CALHOUN

San Francisco, July S.-Patrick Cal houn, president of the United railways of this city, will go to trial on Mon day, July 19. for the second time this year on charges of having offered bribe to supervisor to influence his vote on the overhead trolley permit granted in 1906 He will be tried before Superior Judge William P. Lawler, who denied to- day the motion for a change of venue asked by the defendant on the ground that the court was biased and prejudiced against him. Judge Lawler presided at the last trial of Calhoun. which resulted in a hung jury.
 In answer to affidavits alleging bias, filed by the defendants. Judge Lawler. Assistant District Attorney O'Gara and William Otis, one of Francis J. Heney's 8 body guards, filed counter affidavits today denying the allegations.

M 'LENDON'S CASE
 IS INVESTIGATED

Atlanta, July S.-The joint legislative fn- vestigation into the suspension of State Railroad Commissioner S. G.. McLendon began late today. McLendon was sus- pended by former Gov Hoke Smith for all legged violation of the platform pledges upon which McLendon was elected. Among other things the governor charged the commissioner with accepting free railroad transportation contrary to law and with opposing the lowering of several railroad rates.
 The Investigating committee has been charged to ascertain whether 1t is unlaw- fu for a railroad commissioner to hold stock in a street railway and whether MT. McLendon held any such stock. McI4en- don was one of the witnesses before the committee today.
 While not admitting that he had ever owned any stock or bonds of the Athens street railway MT. McLendon said that even if he had he would have violated no law Mir. McLendon's contention is that he merely had a banker pay for the bonds and hold them pending delivery to another person.
 The committee adjourned until Monday, when further evidence will be heard.

SCHEME TO EYADE
 PROHIBITION LAW

Washington, July S.-A unique scheme to evade prohibition laws has been de- vised by the incorporation of express con- panies which operate between states. In the last two or three months several such companies have been incorporated in va rious parts of the country. In every in- stance the companies do a business close to state lines. None of them has filed with the interstate commerce commission its annual report and it is understood an effort will shortly be made by the officials of prohibition states to prevent the opera ton of such companies.
 The commission received an inquiry from the Mississippi state authorities a few days ago respecting the operations of an express company at Natchez. Mississippi is prohibition state, yet 1t developed that an express company had been organized and incorporated at Natchez, the bulk of business of which appeared to be trans portation of beers and liquors from an- other state into Mississippi. The beverages are consigned to individuals in Mississippi and are delivered by wagons of the ex- press company. The curious part of the transaction Is that the express company was incorporated by dealers in beers and liquors with the evident intention, accord ing to the Mississippi authorities, of evad- ing the stringent state liquor laws sim liar case has arisen in Massachusetts.

BEVERIDGE'S VOTE
 CAUSES SURPRISE

Washington, July s-(Special 1.-The final session of the Senate tonight Tn the tariff bill. eliminating in a vote of 45 to 34 In it's passage. thoroughly demonstrated the division in the republican party over the tariff question. In spite of democratic differences which have been greatly ex- aggerated throughout the debate, only one democrat. MT. McEnery of Louisiana, voted for the bill while 10 republicans joined with the democrats in voting against it. The 10 republicans cast nega- tive votes for the reason that they be- lieved the tariff revision sentiment In the states they represent-Indiana, Nebraska, Minnesota, South Dakota and Iowa-was too strong to permit of their indorsing such a measure as the republican party has promised. The vote of Senator Bev- eridge caused more surprise than any other cast against the bill. The Indiana senator is candidate for reelection and hopes to get all the tariff revisionists in the Senate for him. The situation has its disadvantages in the fact that the organization republicans will likely want to send man to Washington In full sym pathy with his party. With the Senate re- publicans framing a bill that one-sxth of their membership cannot stomach, the tariff revisionists of the middle west may yet see the futility of revision downward through the republican party.

EDITED BY HUGH w. ROBERTS
NO TIME TO BE LOST
 ON TARIFF BILL

Washington, July s.-There will be no delay in sending the tariff bill to con- ference after it reaches the House. It is expected the bill will be sent to that body by the Senate late tomorrow and in order that no time be lost Repre- sentative Dalzell of Pennsylvania. of the rules committee, obtained the adoption of an order today by which the House will meet daily from now until the end of the session.
 As soon as the bill is received MT. Dalzell Is expected to offer a resolution by which the House will disagree to the Senate amendments en bloc and agree to a conference. If there is any disposi- ton to debate the resolution Representa- tive Payne of New York probably will move the previous question on the reso- lution. thereby shutting off discussion.
 When Mr. Dalzelrs resolution Is adopt ed the speaker will announce the list of conferees.
 The secrecy which will surround the work of the eonferees is indicated by the care with which the names are guarded by the speaker. MT. Payne, chairman of the ways and means committee, pro- fesses ignorance as to the probable num- Der who they will be. They were also reticent with regard to the time that may be required for consideration of the bill in conference but 1t is gen. orally believed that 1t will be reported finally from conference by Monday, July IS.
 It is very likely that the first thing agreed to In conference will be the reduc- tions on necessaries of life and raw ma teials made In the House bill by the Sem ate. The increases made by the Senate on certain luxuries probably will offer a temporary barrier to an early agreement in conference, because of the contention that these increased rates will prove pro- hibitive and will materially reduce the revenue.
 The House conferees will insist on the House rates on hosiery and gloves which was advanced decidedly over the Dingley rates. The latter were restored by the Sen- ate. The Senate leaders desire to retain the Dingley schedule on wool and there arc some increases in the cotton schedule which will also be strongly contended for. In order that the Senate rates on those articles may be retained the Senate con- ferees may yield to the House on hosiery and gloves.
 The most difficult question to be decided in conference are the rates on those ar ticles regarding which there is decided difference of opinion within both the Sem ate and House. The majority in the House seems to favor free hides while the advocates of duty on hides in the Senate are in the lead. The lumber sched- ue Is another regarding which the differ ence of opinion Is nearly balanced.

GAN THE UMPIRE
 CARRY A PISTOL?

Whether an umpire has the right to self-protection and for that reason may be placed in the same class with officers of the law regarding the car rying of a pistol, was hot topic Of conversation in the live city of West End yesterday following the drawing of a gun by an umpire in a game between the Highland Bakery team and the West End nine.
 The game was well along, the hour being about 1 o'clock, and the inning toward the seventh number. One of the West End players took exception to decision of the umpire and heated words followed. The West End player tried to borrow knife from his fellow players, it is said. while the umpire was quickly putting on his coat. AS soon as the umpire had donned his coat. however, he whipped revolver out of one of Its pockets and all argu- ment ceased at once.
 "Police!" yelled the West End play CTS as they started on the run for an officer. US for home" said the bakers
 
 line. Me for the tall and uncut, sighed the umpire as he dashed into the opposite firection and into clump of woods and disappeared from the haunts of man.
 When the officer arrived he found no one to arrest and doubt arose In his mind as to whether he could arrest an umpire for having a concealed weapon. The matter brought on serious discus sion among the high officials and prom inent merchants of the classic little western city and each one, without ex- ception, expressed his belief that the supreme court would refuse to allow an umpire to be fined or sentenced for carrying weapons with which to pro- ect himself.

Baseball is Full of Surprises
BEYERIDGE AND
 ALDRICH MIX UP

Washington. July S-"When the senator wants something done it is for the work man, and when he is opposed to something it is for the manufacturers hotly retort- ed Senator Aldrich late today, in reply to Senator Beveridges statement in the Sen ate that the senator from Rhode Island was better informed on the steel mills, but he himself was better informed upon conditions and desires of the working peo- pie, and that what he was advocating would make make full work days for the workmen.
 And the senator from Rhode Island is always for the manufacturer and never for the employees" was MT. Beveridge's reJoinder
 'The senator is pressing a great deal when he makes that statement" said MT. Aldrich. "The senator told me he had been obliged, in view of political ex- igencies-"
 Before Mir Aldrich could proceed fur ther the Indiana senator was upon his feet exhibiting a stern counternance.
 "The senator must correct that" he said. hotly.
 That is what I understood" said MT. Aldrich.
 "The senator Is going very far to re- peat private conversations. I did not say political exigencies."
 That ended the incident which had its beginning when the Indiana senator, In urging his provision to exempt tin plate from duties, stated in contradic- tion of his own previous statement, he had just been informed there were tin plate mills in Ohio, West Virginia and elsewhere which were not in the Steel trust. It was then he made the state ment that called down MT. Aldrichs s sarcasm upon his head.

Montgomery, July S.-(Special. )-Moles- worth's bunch was in poor trim this aft ernoon, putting up one of the weakest exhibitions of baseball ever seen here. Both Dickson and Manuel were ineffective the Climbers batting them at will besides romping the bases at will on errors of the Barons
 In the middle of the fifth inning slow desultory shower started, which maintained itself for the most part through the eighth inning. When the To- calls turn came to bat in this session Umpire Fitzsimmons called the game when one man was down and the score board recorded tally of F to favoring Montgomery.
 Guese. who was in for Montgomery, was an enigma to the visitors, holding them we'll in check. Besides, he was given )arn- up support several of the catches being of a spectacular nature. The baserunnng of McGilvray featured the game for the Barons, a remarkable sprint from second base on an infield hit scoring the first tal- ly for the Magic City lads. The game started off with promise until the fourth inning, when a muffed fly on the part Of Bowen followed by three successive hits one of them a three-bagger, tallied three additional runs for the locals and sent Dickson to the clouds. After this inning Montgomery had everything her way Daly getting a home run in the hfth in- ming with Kerwin on base. Manuel, who went in in the sixth, was unable to check the slaughter, though the error mania was largely on during his regme.
 Birmingham had only two chances to cross the rubber, tieing the score by bring ing in one run in the third inning, and landing the only other run in the eighth inning. In the first of these innings Me Gilvray walked and went to second on sacrifice of Ellam. Dickson hit slow one to Pope which he beat out, McGiiVray scoring from second. In the eighth ln- ming with one down McGilvray hit safe and went to second when Ellam dittoed Manuel sacrificed both, and McGilvray counted when Whiteman fumbled Hen lines batted ball Bowen retired the side on fly to Rockenfield.
