osition, print paper and wood pulp
and hides. He said that this had not
been done because of any desire to
evade responsibility on those ques-
tions, but merely because the COM
mittee had not received data that
would permit it to draw its conclu-
sions. When that data was received,
he said, recommendations would be
made in respect to those items.
Speaker Cannon entered the SEN
ate chamber before Mr.. Aldrich be-
gan and carefully followed his re-
marks.
Upon concluding the reading of his
prepared statement, Mr.. Aldrich
launched upon a criticism of amend
ments prepared by Mr.. Daniel for a
tax on the gross receipts of corpora
tions, and by Mr.. Bailey for a tax
on incomes, each of which, he said,
would impose 100000 of taxes.
Being interrupted by Mr.. Bailey,
who suggested that he knew the SEN
ator from Rhode Island would not
wish to misrepresent him, Mr.. Aid
rich said he would reply to the sena-
tors suggestion that the tariff sched-
ule be reduced to offset the 100000 to
be raised by an income tax.
That could be done, he said, only by
making some of the duties prohibi-
tive or putting them on the free list,
as the mere reduction of the rates
would result in increasing revenues.
He charged the Democratic leaders
with proposing taxes that would be
an additional temptation to extrava-
gance. At the conclusion of Mr.. AID
rich's statement, Senator Daniel. the
ranking minority leader of the finance
committee, took the floor He ar
raigned the Republican members of
the committee for their exclusion of
the Democratic members during the
consideration of the bill.

full and Serious Accident
Hopes of Recovery.

Mrs. Frank Thompson of 202 North
Twenty-fifth street, was Saturday
evening the victim of an Exceedingly
painful accident. While descending
the steps of her home, which were
covered with sleef and snow, Mrs,
Thompson fell, Striking her back on
one of the steps.
Her fall was noted by Mr. Wonder
ling, who rooms at the Thompson
home, and fastening to her assistance,
he found her unconscious. A physi-
clan was quickly summonded and Mrs.
Thompson was taken to the hospital.
Upon examination it was found that
the spinal column had been broken,
but that the spinal cord and the scia-
tic nerve although effected in a man
ner which paralyzed her lower limbs,
were not injured. She is reported last
night to be suffering exceedingly, but
the doctors in charge say that they
believe the back bone will knit and
that Mrs. Thompson will fully re"

Mr. Heney made a somewhat heated
argument in support of his conten-
tions. He said: "Mr. Rogers not on
ly insinuates that the witness Nicho-
las has not only committed perjury,
but he adds to his half-concealed rep
reservations an idea that some per-
son connected with the prosecution
has induced him to change his testi-
mony to suit a base purpose"
"The case of Coffey was only an
incident" replied Mr.. Rogers. "It

SUIT IN TIME CHECKS
is HAVING HEARING
Case of Harder Against Hughes and
the City Occupying Time of
District Court.

Judge Fox of the district court, yes
terday afternoon began the trial, with
a jury, Of the case of Fritz Harder
against Nick Hughes and the city of
Billings.
Harder is suing for $1,103.35. He
claims that he cashed time checks
issued by Miller & Schmidt, sub-con-
tractors of Hughes Hughes had the
contract last summer to construct a
sewer in special improvement district
No. 12 He entered into an agree
ment with William. Miller to furnish
men for the work.
Harder alleges that it was under
stood the city would not pay Hughes
the entire amount due for the work
until all claims for labor had been
paid Harder asserts that there is
still $4,000 due Hughes on the con-
tract and he prays that he receive
$1,102.35 out of this amount for the
time checks he cashed for the men.
Hughes, in his answer, claims that
the plaintiff, Miller and he made a
settlement last September. He
claims Miller defaulted in completing
the work in the required time and that
he (Hughes) had to finish the work
at his own expense.
Attorneys Hathhorn and Brown rep
resent the plaintiff in the case. W. M
Johnston is representing the defend

fails to testify to what the prosecu-
ton believed proper. The whip held
by the prosecution when the super
visors testified in the case of Louis
Glass finally fell on Coffey and the
red welt on Coffey's back is shining
in the eyes of Nicholas as he sits here
in the witness chair.
Eyes, the red welt is shining in the
eyes of Nicholas" said Heney, "but
the defense dares not call single
witness to commit perjury"
Just before adjournment, Earl Rog-
ers began the second cross-examina-
ton of Nicholas with the prospect that
he will occupy the stand during the
greater part of tomorrow's session.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL.
Health is Worth Saving, and Some Grand
Rapids People Know how to Save it.

Many Grand Rapids people take
their lives ia their hands by neglecting
the kidneys when they know these
organs need help. Sick kidneys are
responsible for a vast amount of suf-
fering and i'll health, but there is 10
need to suffer nor to remain ia dar ger
when all diseases and aches and pains
due TO weak kidneys can be quickly
and permanently cured by the use OF
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is Grand
Rapids citizens recommendation.

suffered from lame hack and a Sore
ness across his loins. The secretions
from his kidneys were very irregular
in action and he was forced to arise
many times during the night to pass
them. They were also highly colored,
and at times contained sediment.
Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills Advertised,
my husband procured box and they
went directly to The seat Of his trouble
He has not complained Of any IF the
