Washington, Aug. 5.-The program
for congress today included the adop
ton of the conference tariff report,
passage Of the tariff bill, the adop-
tion Of a joint resolution revising the
leather schedule in the senate and
house; the adoption of joint feso-
luton interpreting the drawback reso-
luton with a free cotton baggfng
rider and the final adjournment of
the special session.
1t is doubted If the program can be
carried through In the limited time.
The agreement is that the leather
amendment will go through both
houses. with slight alteration, and
that the McCumber provision, with
free cotton bAgging attached. win
go through the senate. but it is not
expected it will be adopted by the
house.
Senator Dolliver, the first speaker
defended his course as republican
in contending for reduction in the
tariff and attacked the necessity Of
bargaining with the men in control
of the senate to secure the protection
of his constituents
The senate adopted the conference
report at O'Clock by a vote of Al to
81, then took up the concurrent reso-
luton, reducing the rates in the
leather schedule. This was adopted
at 8 O'Clock.
The senate and house adopted the
resolution reducing the
duty on leather goods. The senate
adopted McCumber's drawback. resp
luton, with its free cotton bagging
rider, but it was rejected by the
house.

the time when Collins is to be sen
tenced for the Pueblo crime, sentence
having been postponed until then IN
order to give the local authorities a
chance to prove his connection with
the Baker murder.
Willing TO Surrender Collins
In letter to Chief Coles. Sheriff
Mcmillan goes into some detail. he
acting on advices from Special Santa
Fe Officer E. C. Bloxon. of this city,
who formerly was a deputy sheriff
under the Colorado officer, and who
first opened up correspondence in
the case, at the request of Chief
Coles Sheriff Mcmillan says if it can
be established that Collins was here
on the night of the Baker murder and
other details connecting him with the
crime proved. then he is ready to
turn him over to the San Miguel coun-
ty officers. AS has already been said
the time is short for action. hence
prompt steps must be taken. if the
murder of Baker is to be avenged.

zar Mares. the Judge gave decisions in
three important cases.
The first case was that of ]. W.
McGinnies VS.. William Murphy, this
being a case from Union county, No
500. The judgment in this case is
given for the plaintiff. for the sum
of s433.9S. This judgment was given
by default, the defendant not appear
ing. 1t appears that the plaintiff and
defendant entered into the liquor
business about May 1. 1908, in the
city of Clayton, Union county They
afterwards sold out their business
and this suit was brought to adjust
certain differences existing between
the partners, which resulted in the
plaintiff receiving judgment in the
sum above named.
The second case was that of the
Territory VS.. ]. c. Hill, another
Union county case. This suit was to
collect taxes on certain unimproved
lots in Clayton, which we're delin-
quent The district attorney for the
county of Union. maintained that the
delinquent taxes be adjusted for the
sum of $3.50, and Judgment was enter
ed for that amount.
The third case was that of David B.
Rimble vs.. William H. Bradbury, No.
3,121, Colfax county. The judgment
in this case was dated August 5th,
and went to the, plaintiff by default.
1t is for the sum of $130.56, with in
terest at the rate of 10 per cent from
date of judgment, until the full
amount is paid. The costs also went
to the defendant. 1t seems that che
defendant gave to the plaintiff a
note on November 2S. 1905, which, was
payable on May 1, 1906. at the Miami
County National Bank, at Paola,
Kansas. The amount of this note
was for 800, with interest at ten per
cent. Attorney e. G. Champion, Of
Ration appeared for the plaintiff.

ed at Pueblo. This is another i'm.
portant clue connecting him with the
Baker killing, as the bullet which in
fiicted Bakers death wound was fired
from a 44-calibre gun, and such a
calibre revolver was found on Collins
person. 1t is an old fashioned Mer-
win Hubert weapon, with the ham
mer filed off and ring on the bot
tom to the butt. The idea of filing
off the hammer is to keep the gun
from catching in the pocket and pre-
venting its being brought into quick
play.
Everyone of the witnesses above
mentioned say that they are sure if
they could see Collins, that any doubt
as to his identity would be settled
