COMBINATIONS
BOUND TO COME
E. H. Hartman Advises NeVa-
da People to LegiSIate
Accordingly.

Reno, New. March 2s.-When he
stepped from his private car at the
Southern Pacific railroad yards at
Reno this morning, Mr.. E. H. Harri-
man at first declined to be interviwed.
But recognizing the managing editor Of
the Nevada State Journal as some one
with whom he had had a slight ac-
quaintance in New York City some
years ago, he became most cordial.
Turning to his interviewer. he asked:
What do you want Inc to talk
about"
Railroad matters" was the re-
Spouse.
What in Particular was the ques-
ton from Mr.. Hartman.
We'll. the people of Nevada and the
surrounding country are somewhat
agitated at the present time about the
traffic rates, and we would like to hear
from you
"It's Played Out"
Quick as flash came the following
from Mr.. Hartman:
1T is played out, it is played out; 1t
is past and gone. II Nevada wants to
get in the lead her people should legis-
late in favor of combinations and CO.
alitions of transportation lines.
LAS civilization progresses that is
sure to come. as it is also evidently for
the good of the country at large.
Every dollar that is invested in I'M
necessary property is dead. and to that
extent prevents the investment of
capital in other developing enterprises
and the permanent employment of Ia
Dor I mean by that. the money is
wasted. it brings no return and passes
out of the channels of trade.
Get Strengthened out in Nevada and
take the lead in what is bound to
come"
sprishtIy and Buoyant.
Mr. Hartman appeared sprightiy
and in buoyant spirits. He stood in a
group with others TO be photogra phed
several times. and curiously watched
Miss Goelet while she tripped lightly
up and down the graveled track and
danced joyously. he stepped on the
scales and tipped the beam at Ia
pounds.
Mr., Hartman was accompanied by
Vice President E.. 4. Calvin of the
Southern Pacific. and II. W. Sheridan.
general superintendent of the Sacra
mento division. as well as his personal
party. He was met by W. II. Bancroft

Cannon in Quandry.

Washington March 2S-The tariff sit

tonight than since the opposition to va
rious schedules developed among the Re
pubicans several days ago.
Speaker Cannon conferred with Presi-
dent Taft at the White House tonight re-
garding the situation, aud the ways and
means committee was in session through

numerous amendments which it will offer
to the bill some of which will affect
rates. while the ma ority are in the ma
ture of corrections and changes In phrase
ology to prevent misconstructiou. Speaker
Cannon and other majority leaders were
in conference with the committee Tegari-
ing certain schedules and the proposed

coed to the discussion of the bill under

BIG FIGHT ON
FREE HIDES
AND LUMBER
Two Articles Around Which the
Battle Over the Tariff Will
Rage FierCeIy.
WEST SURE TO CLASH
WITH NEW ENGLAND
SENATE MAY TURN MAXIMUM
AND MINIMUM FEATURES OF
PAYNE BILL UPSIDE DOWN.

Washington. March 2S.-The fate of
lumber and hides in the proposed
new tariff law probably will not be de-
eided until the conference reports on
the bill have been approved by both
the senate and the house.
These articles have been buffeted
more than those of any other class of
import.
Clashes have occurred over these
schedules between the representatives
of the cast and west. and there Is a
prospect of the differences becoming
so sharp that the Democrats from the
southern states may determine the
outcome.
Western Men for Duty on Hides.
The western senators on the COM
mittee have proved particularly strong
adv coates of the restoration of the
duty on hides, while Senator Lodge is
said to stand almost alone in his cam
paign for free hides.
Champions of the movement to take
the duty off lumber entirely are not so
sanguine of success as the advocates Of
free hides, so far as their contest in
the committee is concerned.
Regardless Of the vote of the COM
mittee, the advocates of free lumber
and free hides have been promised
separate votes on these questions IN
the senate. and they are satisfied with
this concession.
Maximum and Minimum Features.
The greatest interest is being mani
tested in the maximum and minimum
features of the Payne bill as a substi-
tute for the existing reciprocity ar
rangements. There is a TumOr that the
committee on finance will upset the
principle of making the established rate
the minimum. with 20 per cent retail
atOIy increase.
If IL should be decided TO reverse this
proposition so as to make the estab-
lshed rate the maximum and give 10
the most friendly nations a favored
rate of 20 per cent less, it is asserted
that the rates i'm the Payne bill would
have to be raised all along the line.
During the consideration of the bill
thus far all of the rates which depend
upon existing reciprocity treaties have
been laid aside to be considered when
the maximum and minimum features
are taken up.

Rule to Be Brought In.

Representative Dwight of New YORK,
the Republican whip. has been instructed
to have all the ma iOrity members present
on Thursday. This is taken TO mean
either that a caucus will be held to adopt
a plan with regard to the consideration
of the tariff bill for amendment. or that
rule will be brought in to shut off fur
Their general debate. There is every indi-
cation that the rule regarding amend
mentS will permit the opening up Of GER
tain para graphs for amendment.
The members of the ways and means
committee are strongly opposed to a rule
limiting general debate, on the grouu
that It would be detrimental to the pass
age of the bill as reported. The commit
tee gave sonle~ consideration to the para
graph on coffee today. This and the para
graphs affecting crude petroleum. free

Russians Enraqed.

St Petersburg, March 2S.-The solution
of the Balkans crisis has been received
here with rage and shame. rather than
with feeling Of relief. by the press and
chauvinistic public. which blame Foreign
Minister Iswolsky for the surrender Of
Slav interests without considering the
circumstances which have dictated the
Russian policy.
In government circles. however. no IL
lusions are entertained with regard to
the hard necessities which have forced
Russia to humble role during the crisis
1t is believed that VI. Iswolsky was as
successful as could be expected. in view
of the promises of his predecessors and
the unprepsredness of Russia for the
struggle which a more positive policy
would have eBtsiled.

Oklahoma City, Okla, March Is
Five companies Of Oklahoma railiti9
marched tonight against Crazy Snake s
band of Greek Indians, half-breeds and
negroes entrenched in the Hickory
hills, seven miles from Henrietta.
A bloody battle was regarded as in
evita BILE, as the heavily-aTmed troops
set out either to capture or extermi-
nate the muTderOus band which since
Thursday has caused the death of six
men, the wounding of many others,
and brought about a condition of ter
TOR in Henrietta, Pirce and all the sur
rounding country. The troops left
Henrietta at O'Clock.
They had seven miles to go. En-
win bered with arms and equipment, il
kvas expected that they could not
reach the scene ready for battle much
before Z o'clock. Crazy Snakes men
numbered about 200, all armed with
modern guns and plentifuiiy supplied
with ammunition. They had been pre-
pairing for two months for this. their
final stand against the lawful authorI-
". They defiantly sent out word to-
day that they would fight to the death.
Certain to Be Bloody Battle.
4 OF course. there could be only one
outcome to the clash, but it was GER
tain to be a murderous affair, as the
militiamen had declared that they
would shot to kill from the first. 1t
WAS regarded as certain that the In
dams would be defeated, but it was
realized that it might take all night
and all day tomorrow TO crush the
band into subsection such as the mill

was reinforced from time to time by
